Mainland Martial Arts

On the martial arts field, only Lin Feng and the others were left. They were either sitting or standing, all trying to recover their physical strength and Qi.

"Lin Feng, you are really amazing!" Chen Xiner walked to Lin Feng and praised sincerely.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just lucky."

"What good luck? That knife of yours was so cool!" Feng Yutang also walked over, with admiration in his eyes.

"Yes, the power of that sword is so strong that even a fourth-grade warrior would find it difficult to resist it." Chen Feng also agreed.

Lin Feng smiled modestly and said, "Actually, I didn't expect that knife would be so powerful. I just wanted to give it a try."

"No matter what, without you, we might not be able to enter the finals." Chen Xiner said.

Lin Feng just smiled.

Xing Yue hurriedly checked on Lin Feng and the others. After finding that everything was fine, she congratulated Lin Feng on entering the finals. After some politeness, they all went back and spent the next night preparing for the finals.

Night shrouded the bustling palace like a mysterious veil. In this quiet night, two figures quietly entered the palace, their steps firm and light, as if blending into the darkness.

The two men came to the Emperor's palace, their faces showing serious and respectful expressions. They gently pushed open the palace gate and walked in.

The emperor sat on the throne in the palace, his eyes piercing and radiating majesty. When he saw the two men, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the palace without permission!" The emperor's voice was low and powerful.

The man walking in front raised his head, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and indignation.

"Emperor, I am a survivor of the Wang family of Qingmu City. I fought bravely on the frontier to protect my country, but I could not protect my own family. Please, Your Majesty, help me." It turned out that the person walking in front was Wang Taiming, the man who broke Lin Nuofeng's hand five years ago. He didn't make the top ten in the Tianjiao selection competition five years ago, but he was still qualified to join the army. Now that he had received news that the Wang family had been exterminated, he could only seek help from the Emperor.

The emperor frowned slightly, his thoughts seeming to recall the Wang family being wiped out that he had heard some time ago.

"How dare you attack a soldier's family? Keep talking, and I will take care of you." The emperor was very angry, but he showed a little concern for the survivors of the Wang family in Qingmu City.

"It was the Lin family of Muyang Town who attacked my Wang family and wiped out my entire Wang family! If I hadn't been at the border, I would probably have been robbed as well." The man's voice was filled with pain and anger.

The emperor's expression became even more serious. He was well aware of the severity of the crime of exterminating an entire family under imperial law.

"According to the imperial laws, unless a soldier has committed a serious crime, it is not allowed to exterminate his entire family. If you exterminate a soldier's family without permission, it is the same crime as treason, and the entire family will be executed." There was a hint of cold murderous intent in the emperor's voice.

"Your Majesty, although my Wang family is not a famous family, we have made great contributions in the battles on the frontier. The Lin family's behavior is really intolerable!" Wang Taiming's voice was full of grief and indignation.

When the Emperor thought of the fact that there was also a genius named Lin in today's competition, he fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrests of the throne.

"You said the Lin family wiped out your Wang family. Do you have any evidence?" The emperor stared at the man.

"Emperor, I have evidence." The man said, taking out a detonator from his arms.

"This is the weapon that the Lin family used to destroy my Wang family!" The man's voice was full of hatred.

The Emperor took the detonator and examined it carefully. His expression became increasingly serious, because he knew that the power of this detonator was enough to destroy a city.

"This little thing is so powerful, are you sure it's the Lin family's doing?" The Emperor looked at the detonator, puzzled. "Emperor, this explosive is so powerful that even a master can't stop it. The Lin family used it to destroy my Wang family, gave it to the Chen family, and then exchanged it with the Hu family." The man's voice was filled with anger.

"What? Instead of handing over such a powerful thing, you used it to blow up a soldier's house, and gave this explosive device to the Chen family?" The emperor's face became even uglier.

"Emperor, I have brought people from the Hu family with me this time. They can testify." The man said, winking at the people behind him.

The Hu family members came forward, expressions of fear and awe on their faces.

"Emperor, our Hu family can testify that the Lin family did give this explosive object to the Chen family and exchanged it with me." said a member of the Hu family.

The emperor's expression became even darker, his heart filled with anger and worry.

"Lin family, you are so bold!" The emperor's voice was full of murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, the Lin family's actions are unforgivable. Please order the execution of the entire Lin family!" Wang Taiming's voice was full of anticipation.

The emperor fell into deep thought, his heart full of contradictions and hesitations.

"Emperor, although the Lin family is guilty, Lin Feng is extremely talented. If he can hand over the method of making this explosive device, he may be able to make amends." The eunuch next to the emperor.

"Emperor, the Lin family wiped out my entire Wang family. I will not be a human being if I don't avenge this!" Wang Taiming's voice was full of determination.

The emperor looked at Wang Taiming, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness.

"Okay, I will send someone to investigate this matter. If the Lin family is really guilty, I will never let them go." There was a hint of determination in the emperor's voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Taiming said, bowing again.

The emperor waved his hand, signaling them to retreat.

"You go down first and wait for my news." There was a hint of fatigue in the emperor's voice.

After Wang Taiming and the Hu family members left, the emperor sat on the throne, his heart filled with worry.

"Lin family, what secrets are you hiding?" There was a hint of doubt in the emperor's voice.

After leaving the palace, the Hu family said to Wang Taiming, "I'll help you up to this point. Don't forget what you promised me."

"Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise once I have my revenge."

The palace at night returned to its peaceful state, as if nothing had happened. But the Emperor knew a storm was about to break out.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto Lin Feng's face. He slowly opened his eyes, feeling somewhat uneasy. Today was the day for the competition, but he had been summoned individually by the Emperor, which left him feeling very confused.

Lin Feng came to the palace and paid his respects. The emperor sat on the throne with a gloomy face, and the ministers around him were also shocked.

"Lin Feng, do you admit your guilt?" The emperor's voice was low and powerful.

Lin Feng was completely bewildered, not knowing what crime he had committed. He looked at the Emperor with confusion and asked, "Emperor, I don't understand what crime I have committed."
