They watched helplessly as the soldiers, threatened by the Empress with the lives of their families, were forced to point their swords and spears at Lin Ye, who had just revealed a shocking injustice!

Lin Ye, on the other hand, was holding Lord Ye's daughter in his arms. Although he stood tall and showed no fear, he was ultimately just one person!

While it was impressive that they managed to hold off a dozen or so soldiers the previous time, they only managed to stop the first dozen or so who attacked. The rest were scared off and retreated.

Moreover, Immortal Lin then caused Lord Ye's "ghost to appear" to atone for his wrongful conviction. Such a series of divine manifestations must have consumed most of his divine power...

Now, facing the siege of hundreds of elite armored soldiers, how can he possibly stand up to them?

Some people who lived closer to Qingfeng Mountain immediately grabbed their tools and rushed towards the mountain.

They would risk their lives to save Immortal Lin and Lord Ye's only daughter!

Those who are far away can only vent their anger, anxiety, and worry on the sky.

In the lower right corner of the screen, the barrage of comments exploded instantly.

[Commoner Liu Wenxiang: That damned emperor! He actually used such despicable means to force people to harm Immortal Lin! He deserves to die!!]

[Commoner Chen Zi: Stop! Stop it now! You can't be accomplices to evil!]

[Commoner Wang Dagou: Shu Jingwei! You vicious woman! Stop it!]

[Wang Erdan, a commoner: Master Lin, be careful!]

……

Many of the civilians were relatives of these soldiers!

They witnessed their sons, husbands, and fathers being used by the emperor as hostages, forced to commit unjust acts and harm the brothers and daughters of Lord Ye, whom they revered.

The excruciating pain and anger almost consumed them!

[Wang Cuihua, a commoner: Da Niu! Don't listen to that wicked woman! I'm not afraid of her! My old life was almost lost during the great flood, and Lord Ye saved me! You can't harm Lord Ye's brothers and children because of me! I'd rather die than let you do such a heartless thing! Put down your weapon! Put it down now!]

[Commoner Yang Xiu: Niu Niu's father! Don't be foolish! Our Niu Niu is still young, she can't have a father who helps a tyrannical emperor harm loyal officials! If you still acknowledge us as mother and daughter, stop! Stop now!]

[Commoner Liu Zhuangshi: Third brother! Stop! Your father sent you to join the army to learn skills, to kill foreign enemies and protect your family! Not to shout and kill Lord Ye's brothers! If you dare to take that step today, I will disown you as my son!]

……

Each word of dissuasion, piercing through the sky and traversing thousands of mountains and rivers, struck the eyes of every soldier forced to advance on Qingfeng Mountain.

Several soldiers in the crowd suddenly stopped in their tracks, their bodies trembling violently, their eyes instantly turning red.

"Mother..." A young Imperial Guard soldier's lips trembled, tears welled up in his eyes, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Ah Xiu... Niu Niu..." Another Imperial Guard soldier looked at his wife's resolute words on the sky, his heart was breaking, his hand holding the hilt of his sword trembled violently, and he could no longer take another step forward.

Then came the third, the fourth...

More and more soldiers stopped in their tracks.

Some stood still, their gazes shifting back and forth between the sky and Lin Ye in front of them, feeling as if they were being roasted over a fire.

Some dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, buried their heads between their arms, and let out suppressed, beast-like cries.

……

But many more people still rushed forward.

Among them.

Or they are the offspring of those staunch royalist families.

Or perhaps it's those who have been blinded by the promise of "whoever kills Lin Ye will be made a marquis"—their conscience? What's a conscience worth?

The clanging of armored vehicles grew more frequent, and the footsteps grew heavier, like the beating of a large drum.

The air was filled with the rusty smell of winter clothes, and also with a kind of exhilarating feeling that sent chills down your spine.

"Ha ha--"

Yao Jingyuan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly laughed.

The laughter was hoarse and strained, like air leaking from a broken bellows, squeezing out from his bloodless lips, and it was indescribably eerie.

His eyes were fixed on Lin Ye, filled with a barely contained resentment and excitement that seemed to be on the verge of triumph.

"Lin Ye—"

His voice wasn't loud, but it slithered through the mountain wind like a snake.

"No matter how eloquent you are, today... you are doomed to die!"

He gasped for breath, then abruptly turned his head and roared at the bodyguards behind him:

"You! Attack him too! Kill him!"

"It would be best...it would be best to tear him to pieces!"

He licked his chapped lips, "To vent the anger in my heart!!!"

Lin Ye stared at them coldly, not moving an inch, but a hint of anticipation playing on his lips.

Soon, the first batch of soldiers rushed up to him.

The burly man at the head of the group had a face full of scars, and his eyes were practically overflowing with greed. He gripped a large knife with both hands and roared.

A single slash!

"clang--!"

A bizarre scene unfolded.

The swords and spears slashed and thrust at Lin Ye within a meter of him, as if they had hit an invisible wall.

The blade struck, producing a dull thud.

Then, an even stronger force than before rebounded back along the blade and the shaft of the spear without reservation!

"ah--!"

The burly man with a face full of scars felt a numbness in his hand, and the knife hilt slipped from his grasp and fell out of his hand.

Then, as if struck in the chest by a charging bull, he was sent flying three or four meters away, landing heavily on the gravel ground before sliding backward a distance before coming to a stop.

He coughed up blood, curled up in agony, his back arched, unable to even groan.

The soldiers following behind him also launched their charge.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

One soldier after another rushed forward.

One after another, they flew back.

Some bumped into their companions behind them, knocking down three or four people in a row, rolling around like bowling balls.

Some fell onto the rocks, their bones cracking, and they rolled on the ground, clutching their injuries and howling in pain.

Some were so shaken by the rebounding force that blood gushed from their mouths and noses, and they lay motionless on the ground, their chests rising and falling slightly.

A strong smell of blood immediately filled the air.

The wails rose and fell, echoing through the valley like the howls of demons from the eighteenth level of hell.

The soldiers who had stopped earlier stared blankly at this scene.

Their mouths were agape, their eyes were wide open, their Adam's apples bobbed, and cold sweat poured from their foreheads.

I couldn't help but feel relieved—thankfully, thankfully they listened to my advice and didn't follow me.

Otherwise, I would be one of those lying there wailing now.

As expected of Immortal Lin, his skills are truly divine!

Lin Ye stood still, his robes fluttering, and even his breathing remained steady and even.

He sneered and looked at Shu Jingwei and Yao Jingyuan.

"Is this all you've got? Is this all?"

Lin Ye paused, looked at Shu Jingwei and Yao Jingyuan, whose faces were filled with fear and horror, and continued.

"Well then, it's my turn!"

He gently turned the little girl in his arms around, pressing her little head against his chest so she wouldn't see what was about to happen.

Then, a thought crossed his mind.
