Chapter 4143: Remembering Military Merit

hile."Jiang Yun nodded, just about to speak, but at that moment, Tai Yang, who had been lying motionless on the ground all along, suddenly stood up and let out a deafening roar!First published on the...After Mo Ze's gaze swept over each face, he continued, "You people are either survivors of this hunt or the President and the general, all under my command! You are all part of my heavenly realm."

Ginger Cloud couldn't help but look around again at the unfamiliar faces. Unexpectedly, they were all presidents and lieutenants, not even centurions or captains.

"I really hope you are completely unaware of what happened during this hunt, and why I gathered you all here."

Upon hearing Mo Ze's rather baffling words, most people wore expressions of bewilderment, utterly failing to grasp his meaning.

What does it mean to not want others, including oneself, to be unaware of what happens during a hunt

But they could hear a hint of killing intent in Mo Ze's voice.

Only Jiang Yun and Shen Chaojun, along with thirty-nine other guards, knew in their hearts that Mo Ze was trying to find out who among these presidents and lieutenants had colluded with that man!

Whether it be a general, a sub-general, or even a lowly centurion, no one would want someone under their command to collude with criminals and commit the abhorrent act of ambushing their comrades.

As for why only the president and deputy commanders were called, it's naturally because the hunt required cross-regional coordination. Only officers at the presidential level, responsible for multiple regions, are qualified to intervene.

In the main hall, there was an eerie silence. Whether they understood what had happened or not, no one dared to speak at this moment. Not even their breaths came naturally as if everyone was holding it in unconsciously.

Moments later, it was still Mo Ze's voice that broke the silence in the hall. "For your years of service to me, I will give you a chance to surrender!"

Now, as long as someone among you is willing to step forward and confess everything, I will show leniency.

If you are found by me, not only will you face the death penalty yourself, but all your relatives and clansmen will also be dragged into my heavenly realm!

"Take your time, I'll give you a minute to think about this!"

As Mo Ze's voice faded, a guard lit an incense stick.

Mo Ze also closed his eyes, leaning back in his chair as if feigning sleep.

In the grand hall, a deathly silence still prevailed. No one dared to speak or whisper, let alone discuss anything aloud. All they could do was fix their gazes upon the burning incense.

Jiang Yun was observing everyone's reactions, especially President Fang.

Originally, the person Jiang Yun suspected the most was the other party.

After all, those pills that could let prisoners know everyone's locations were the ones he had distributed to each person.

Although this meant he would be the most likely suspect after the incident, they probably believed that this hunt would be a success no matter what.

As long as all of us are killed, naturally no one will suspect this hunt, nor will anyone imagine that the elixir could expose our location, let alone that the president would have any suspicion.

But, through three days prior, Jiang Yun intentionally stimulated and tested the president, causing Jiang Yun to lessen his suspicion of him.

At this moment, President Fang, like everyone else, is frowning and watching Xiang.

And when his gaze met Jiang Yun's, anger would flash across his face.

Just like that, after an incense stick burned completely, no one in the main hall spoke.

"Humph!"

Just then, a cold snort suddenly sounded.

The voice swept through the entire hall like a biting cold wind, passing over everyone present. It sent shivers down their spines, and they all turned their eyes to the one who had let out the cold snort, Mo Ze.

Mo Ze Mian sank like water in the stream: "Good, each of you has backbone. You'd rather drag down the whole clan than admit it!"

Now, I'll tell you exactly what happened!

"Good night!"

Hearing Mo Ze suddenly call out his name, Jiang Yun couldn't help but be startled. But he quickly walked out and bowed to Mo Ze, saying, "Here!"

Mo Ze said coldly, "Tell them everything about your experiences during the hunt, except for what happened in the passage. Especially anything you suspect, tell them every detail."

"Yes!"

Jiang Yun turned around to face the crowd and began recounting his experience for a second time.

Everyone, including those who already knew Shen Zhaozhi and Li Mo, pricked up their ears and listened intently to every word Jiang Yun said.

When Jiang Yun finished speaking, everyone finally understood why Mo Ze was so angry.

This kind of thing is a serious violation of military discipline!

As Jiang Yun stepped aside, Mo Ze spoke again, "Shen Chaozun, for the thirty-eight of you, do you have any objections to what Fan Xiao said"

Thirty-eight guards stepped out in unison, bowing and saying: "No, what Fan Xiao said is true. Our experiences are similar to his, every word is accurate."

Mo Ze waved his hand and said, "Alright, you guys step aside first."

Then, a cold light flashed in Mo Ze's eyes, and he stared coldly at those presidents and lieutenants: "Now, is there still no one willing to admit it"

By this point, although everyone understood Mose's meaning, no one dared to speak up.

Suddenly, a scarred old man walked out, bowing and saying, "My lord, we have followed you for many years, fighting alongside you through thick and thin. Others may not understand us, but surely you do!"

"Could it be that this matter wasn't a betrayal by someone within our own ranks, but rather the doing of someone from another army"

As soon as the old man's words fell, that big man with a face full of flesh also stood up and said: "Sir, General Lin is right."

"The rules restricting cultivation were jointly formulated by us, and it was only after the adults' approval that we informed the Heavenly Affairs Hall to refine the corresponding pills."

Hearing this, Mo Ze sneered and said, "What, do you think I'm the most suspect"

"No, no, no!" Da Han waved his hands again and again. "I don't dare! In this matter, the most suspicious person is naturally me and Fang Ming."

"Mu Liang was Fang Ming's immediate superior, and those pills were all distributed by Fang Ming."

"Perhaps it was someone from the Heavenly Mandate Hall who tampered with the elixir."

Mo Ze coldly said: "As for the affairs of the Heavenly Affairs Hall, naturally there are people from the Heavenly Affairs Hall to investigate."

"I'll tell you the truth, this matter has alarmed even the Heavenly Prince. The whole Heaven Beyond Heaven is looking into it."

"It seems like you all won't shed tears until you see a coffin. Today, I will personally pull you out."

"Mo Ze looked at Jiang Yun and the others and said: "Where are the heads of those criminals you hunted"

Shen Zhaochun and Li Mo each took out fifty-five heads, placing them on the ground.

Shen Zhaozhi boldly stated, "Lord Tianjiang, all these heads belong to Fan Xiao, and all military merit should rightfully be attributed to him."

Hearing this, Mo Ze's face thawed slightly, and he nodded. "I know, you all retreat to the side first."

Looking at Ginger Cloud who stood still, Mo Ze couldn't help but frown and say: "Fan Xiao, where are the two heads you hunted"

Although Jiang Yun gave the heads of others to Shen Chaojun and his men, he kept the head of a reincarnation realm elder and that man's head on him.

At this time, he also brought out the two heads, laid them on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly spoke: "My lord, these two people, one is the main culprit and the other is an accomplice. Moreover, their cultivation has not been restricted, so their heads should be worth more than a thousand military merits!"

Jiang Yun's words once again plunged the entire hall into silence. Even Mo Ze's face flashed a look of astonishment.

Obviously, no one expected that at this time, Ginger Cloud would still be thinking about military merit!

"Hahaha!"

Mo Ze let out a hearty laugh, his gaze piercingly fixed on Jiang Yun. "Fan Xiao, I ask you, are you content with mere tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of military merits"
