  "Huh?"

  Hong Yi Xing's gaze swept across, the Yu Xuan Swordsmen had done something, he knew it clearly. As for some of the minor disturbances from the Chang family, he was quite tolerant, as long as they didn't shake some fundamental things, he would let them go. However, now that the Cang Long Sword Saint had brought up this matter, he naturally couldn't just ignore it without any response.

  Moreover, the establishment of a second Tianxuan Swordsmen Legion is of great significance. Such an elite army will have unimaginable combat power in the future, equivalent to the ultimate power of the kingdom, which can only be controlled by the royal family. The Jiang family is not allowed to intervene even a little bit, and now this matter is a good opportunity for him to thoroughly grasp the Yuexuan Swordsmen Legion in his hands.

  "Count Arrows, is this true?"

  "Your Majesty!"

  The Duke of Changjian's heart skipped a beat as he was taken aback by the Emperor's sudden question, which instantly threw his mind into disarray: "Your Majesty, this is merely a routine training exercise for the Yuexian Swordsmen Corps, with the objective of capturing this individual. He has indeed committed the grave crime of murdering nobles, including Duke Gong Sun Fangyu and Duke Gong Sun Jianye, not to mention our own family's young master Chang Le..."

  "Haha, I didn't know there was such a story behind it. Looks like I missed out on Count Chang'an."

  The Dragon Sword Saint smiled and said with a hint of coldness in his tone.

  Next to him, Wang Jiuding, who had already gathered relevant information, immediately said: "Master, I've heard a bit about this matter, although I'm not from the Taixuan Kingdom. It's said that it was because of a duel between Wang Ting and Gong Sunzhuang in the dueling arena, where he killed a younger member of the Gong Sun family. The Gong Sun family held a grudge against him, using his family as leverage to bring him into an enclosure within the city, intending to dismember him with swords. However, Wang Ting was extremely powerful and managed to kill his way out from being surrounded by several high-ranking swordsmen. Later, in order to protect his family and prevent them from being persecuted by the Gong Sun family, he had no choice but to infiltrate the Gong Sun family and assassinate Gong Sun Jianye... As for the conflict between him and the Earl of Chang Le, it started with the temple mission in Bishui City not long ago. The two of them clashed over the Star Crystal, resulting in Wang Ting injuring the Earl of Chang Le. Afterwards, the Earl of Chang Le held a grudge against him and, together with Viscount Chang Dingfeng, mobilized the Yu Xuan Swordsmen to ambush Wang Ting multiple times. As far as I know, it wasn't just once. Wang Ting had no choice but to retaliate in self-defense, which led to him killing the Earl of Chang Le."

  "Nine Tripods, is it true?"

  "Master, I assure you that it's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, I can find witnesses to prove it. One of the witnesses is a mid-ranking swordsman who was present when Gong Sun Fang Yu, the viscount, led the attack on Wang Ting's manor. He personally witnessed the entire process. As for Baron Chang Le's situation... I'm sure there's no need for me to look for evidence, many people can prove that Wang Ting had no choice but to fight back."

  Just as Wang Jiuding finished speaking, an official from the Chamber of Commerce seized this rare opportunity and jumped out of the crowd, saying: "This is indeed what I saw with my own eyes. The Earl of Chang Le and Viscount Chang Dingfeng led the Yu Xuan Swordsmen to surround one of our hotels in Mingri Commercial House, attempting to kill Wang Tingge. The reason was clearly that the Earl of Chang Le wanted revenge. At the time, I wondered why the Yu Xuan Swordsmen, who were directly under the command of His Majesty and stationed outside the city, would suddenly appear in the capital to capture people? Now it seems that, in all likelihood, this was a private action by Viscount Chang Dingfeng."

  "Not bad, I can also testify to this. Chang Le actually said with his own mouth, 'To actually go against me, Chang Le, will be the biggest mistake you'll ever make in your life.' Many people heard him say that."

  The hotel's porter also stood out and made a statement at this time tomorrow.

  When Wang Jiuding first spoke, Earl Jian felt that something was wrong. As he explained the whole story, his face became increasingly ugly. After several executives of the Chamber of Commerce came forward to testify the next day, his face suddenly turned pale.

  It's done!

  Disobeying His Majesty's orders and privately mobilizing the Yu Xuan Swordsmen Corps' troops is absolutely a capital offense.

  At this point, even if His Majesty the King did not want to pursue it, he had no choice but to give an explanation to everyone.

  Indeed, upon hearing the testimony of the two stewards from the Chamber of Commerce, King Hong's face turned pale with rage. His gaze at Chang Jian and the others was filled with indignation: "Very well! Very well! I trusted your family, Chang, and handed over the Yu Xuan Swordsmen to you for training, hoping that you could train an elite army for me. But I never expected that you would treat the entire Yu Xuan Swordsmen as a personal plaything of the Chang family, mobilizing its soldiers to persecute the future pillars of our Taixu Kingdom. Is this how you repay my trust? Is this how you treat me?"

  "Your Majesty!"

  The originally frightened Count Chang Yan stumbled again, unable to stand up straight, and knelt down, wailing: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die a million times! I was blinded by my family and trusted them, allowing them to treat the Yu Xuan Swordsmen as their private army. From start to finish, the entire Yu Xuan Swordsmen Army has always been Your Majesty's army, and this fact has never changed. Except for Your Majesty's orders, no one can mobilize even a single soldier from the Yu Xuan Swordsmen Army. Chang Dingfeng actually dared to defy Your Majesty's will, privately mobilizing troops to persecute the pillars of the state - this is a capital offense! I am willing to uphold justice and execute him on the spot, and I hope that Your Majesty will give me a chance to redeem myself in consideration of my family's loyalty to the kingdom!"

  Abandon the chariot and save the commander!

  Chang Jian made the decision to abandon his chariot and protect his commander at the first opportunity, shifting all the blame onto Chang Dingfeng's shoulders, hoping to use Chang Dingfeng alone to appease the king's anger.

  "Chang Jian, ……"

  When he heard his uncle say this, Chang Dingfeng was shocked and stunned, while Chang Jian, on the other hand, was afraid that Chang Dingfeng would make an excessive move at this time. Taking advantage of Chang Dingfeng's momentary shock, he suddenly drew his sword and slashed it down. With one sword, he beheaded Chang Dingfeng.

  Pitifully, this renowned strongman among the Three Small Named Swords, who originally still had hopes of advancing to the realm of Swordsmanship Grandmaster, was instead treated as a discarded child and pushed out, dying inexplicably at the hands of his own people.

  "Your Majesty, we were also deceived by the petty people, they are all deceitful with their words..."

  After killing Chang Dingfeng with one sword, Chang Jian knelt down again and begged for forgiveness.

  And those he mentioned were none other than Fei Qiancheng and the other guards who had previously testified against Wang Ting, all of whom had already been taken down, their faces pale.

  Compared to the invincible and majestic appearance before, people can hardly believe this is him. He was one of the three giants of the Chang family, whose influence was so great that even marquises had to give them face.

  "Hmph, this matter, no matter what, has irreparable negligence. The Yuexuan Army, how can I trust you again? Hongtu, from today on, will be the deputy commander of the Yuexuan Army. The Yuexuan Army is to be reorganized and rectified, and such chaotic mobilization must not happen again. Otherwise, I will take responsibility."

  The Third Prince Hong Tu originally thought that his affairs had been ruined today, and he hadn't even received news of the arrival of the Qinglong Sword Saint. His heart was filled with anxiety, but suddenly he was appointed by his father, the king, as the deputy commander of the Yuexuan Army Corps. This position may become the second most powerful in the kingdom after the Tianxuan Swordsmen Corps, and this sudden appointment almost made him dizzy.

  Overjoyed in his heart, he loudly responded: "Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely train a iron-blooded lion that can take on ten men single-handedly for you!"

  As they spoke, he secretly took a glance at Wang Ting, this kid was indeed his lucky star.

  "Uh-huh."

  Hong Yi nodded slightly, then swept a glance at Chang Jian, who seemed to have lost all his energy after being stripped of power. He said coldly: "As for the Chang family, they have disappointed this king's high expectations. Everyone will be demoted one rank. Those who deceived and misled others will be executed on a chosen day. Guards, take them away and don't disturb our noble guests' pleasure."

  "Yes."

  Immediately, more than a dozen high-ranking swordsmen emerged from the crowd, dragging Fei Qian Cheng and others away with soft arrows.

  Everyone felt a chill in their hearts as they witnessed this scene, especially Count Haino, whose heart was even colder than ice.

  Always arrow!

  The Chang family, in the kingdom, was a household name, its prestige was such that many marquis families couldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as them. Even Marquis Haydn and Marquis Shen Mingxin were extremely polite to the Chang family. Everyone knew that this family was about to soar to great heights, and would soon be flying high.

  But little did I know, in just a few breaths, the situation had taken a shocking turn.

  The greatest reliance of the Chang family, the Yu Xuan Swordsmen Legion, was taken away. Everyone's title was demoted by one rank... It was a rank, not a level, directly from the Earl's title, down to the Viscount's title among the tens of thousands in the imperial capital, and lost the sacred favor. The decline of such a family was almost foreseeable.

  For a time, everyone became even more reverent towards His Majesty the King. No matter how great their power or how glorious their appearance, all of this was bestowed by His Majesty the King. Rise and fall, replacement, it's all just a matter of one word from His Majesty the King. The only fundamental way is to firmly follow behind His Majesty the King and gain his favor.

  "Green Dragon Sword Saint, you're making me laugh."

  "Haha, the King of Tahyung is indeed a man of his word. It's truly enlightening to see him handle this matter so decisively and efficiently. The King is indeed a great leader of our time! No wonder he can bring Tahyung Kingdom to new heights in such a short period of time. I'm afraid it won't be long before another member from Tahyung Kingdom takes a seat as a preparatory councilor in the Alliance Council."

  "The Dragon Sword Saint has been awarded, if our Tai Xuan Kingdom had an army like the Azure Dragon Legion, I wouldn't have to worry about these trivial matters."

  "The Taixuan Army's name shakes the Eastern Alliance, and even my own Qinglong Army doesn't have a hundred percent guarantee of defeating them."

  "The Celestial Dragon Sword Saint has arrived. I, the king, have prepared a banquet in the palace and invite the Celestial Dragon Sword Saint and all of you to join us. Firstly, to welcome the Celestial Dragon Sword Saint and wash away his travel fatigue; secondly, as two legendary swordsmen who have traveled far and wide, it is only proper for me to fulfill my duties as host; thirdly, we also celebrate the birth of a genius swordsman in our Taixuan Kingdom."

  "His Majesty's kindness is hard to refuse, I can only respectfully obey."

  Haha, please!

  "Please!" (Excuse me!)
