Chapter 1025: Chapter 638: Questioning_3

"..."

The generals present already held considerable status within Dayan, and most of them had accompanied the Marquis of Zhenxi to the capital, witnessing much of the world. However, Dayan had far too many distinguished figures; apart from someone like Xu Changge, whose name resounded across the realm, the features of others were not widely recognized.

Li Junwu’s gaze fell upon the reactions below, his brows instinctively furrowing. Beneath the sleeve of his robe, his hand involuntarily tightened.

If no one could identify the Shadow’s face, things could get quite troublesome.

As murmurs arose below,

Lu Bozou, who had been silent all along, suddenly fixed his gaze on the Shadow and spoke:

"This person looks somewhat similar to the eldest son of the Qin family in Jiangnan."

Upon hearing these words, Li Junwu’s heart immediately relaxed, and the murmurs in the surroundings came to an abrupt halt.

The elder general surnamed Jin asked in a low voice:

"Old Lu, who are you referring to?"

Lu Bozou pondered briefly and then spoke softly:

"Nine Swords Sect, Innate Sword Bone, Qin Weijiu."

"This person, I seem to recall. About ten or so years ago, his reputation seemed rather notable."

"Qin Weijiu... Sounds somewhat familiar."

"The one rumored to be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with that brat Xu Changge, only to be struck down with three swords during the Heavenly Element Competition."

"...."

The hushed whispers gradually settled into silence, and the elder general surnamed Jin turned to Li Junwu and asked slowly:

"Commandery Princess, this person’s identity is....."

"Qin Weijiu’s younger brother, Qin Weishu’s shadow substitute."

Li Junwu declared aloud, "I used him to deceive Zhan Xian’an, and Zhan not only obeyed this Shadow unquestioningly but also allowed him access to the restricted areas of the government office."

Upon hearing this, the generals below erupted into chaotic chatter, though they quickly regained composure, being veterans of countless battles.

"Commandery Princess, you claim Commander Zhan is colluding with outsiders. Might he be summoned to confront this man?"

"Is now the time for confrontation? If the Commandery Princess’s words are true, stirring the army suddenly will only plunge us into chaos, especially with the Saint preparing to attack the city. We must immediately return and organize the troops!"

"Yang Xigong, can’t you stop being so single-minded? Don’t tell me you can’t sense the cultivation level of the person beside the Commandery Princess? For someone with such profound cultivation, there must be powerful figures backing them. Have you forgotten the Commandery Princess’s prior conduct? What if she’s been deceived?!"

"Eh... Makes sense. Why didn’t I think of that."

The dark-skinned middle-aged man in military attire pondered for a moment, then saluted Li Junwu:

"Commandery Princess, I still believe Commander Zhan must be brought out....."

"He is already dead."

"..."

"..."

Li Junwu’s abrupt declaration plunged the front courtyard of the Military Hub Hall into a deathly silence. Many secretly began circulating Military Formation Techniques, and oppressive, terrifying auras began to condense over the Military Hub Hall, locking onto the person above the steps.

It was not Li Junwu, but Huang Shiwei beside her.

In their view, the Commandery Princess must have been bewitched. Executing a commander amidst critical moments was a reckless act that not even the Marquis could condone.

Li Junwu observed the changes below and coldly bellowed:

"Zhan Xian’an had the protection of a Military Array and City Defense Formation. For someone to assassinate him so stealthily, the greatest evidence of betrayal lies in his rebellion!"

As her words fell, she simultaneously activated her Military Formation Technique. In an instant, the generals below lost control over the overwhelming aura surging over the Sky Dome above—a natural suppression exerted by the Master Cultivation Method against the Subordinate Cultivation Method.

The price, however, was a streak of fresh blood staining Li Junwu’s crimson lips, for she could not bear such immense Military Array Force.

Wiping the blood from her lips, Li Junwu scanned the generals below and shouted:

"Do you intend to gather and rebel?!"
