1137 Dealing with traitors



When the Lu Astral Emperor, the ministers, and generals saw Lin Fan walk in, they all revealed bright smiles.

They welcomed him much more warmly compared to the first time.

There were many ministers and generals that even stood up to walk over in an attempt to shake Lin Fan's hand, but they were ignored by him in the end.

All they could do was stand there with bitter smiles on their faces, but they didn't push the matter.

After all, Lin Fan was currently everyone's hero.

Lin Fan walked right up to the front of the table and looked at the general that was sitting beside the Lu Astral Emperor.

The general wasn't surprised to see this and even graciously gave up his seat to Lin Fan.

If it was anyone else, then they would have some opinions about the way that Lin Fan acted.

However, since it was Lin Fan who had just cleaned up the largest battlefield in their Lu Astral Empire in a single day, they had no arguments about him. They were certain that he must have something important to discuss with the Lu Astral Emperor if he was here.

The Lu Astral Emperor saw that Lin Fan wasn't saying anything after sitting down, so he took the initiative to say, "Young master Lin, I have to say that you have done an amazing job. I really can't believe that you were able to take down all of those enemies all by yourself."

There was naturally an inquisitive tone to his voice, as if he was asking Lin Fan how he had done all of this.

However, Lin Fan just ignored all of this as he said with a smile and a wave, "It was nothing. It was just a small effort."

When the Lu Astral Emperor and the rest of the people in the room heard this, they couldn't help revealing bitter looks.

If this was considered just a small effort, then what would be considered a big effort?

Or are you saying that our Lu Astral Empire isn't worth anything since we couldn't take care of this thing that you called a small effort?

But of course, they wouldn't say this out loud since they had no idea how Lin Fan had even done this.

The fact that he had done alone was more than enough to tell them just how strong Lin Fan was. Even the Lu Astral Emperor wasn't confident enough to say that he would be able to take down Lin Fan now that Lin Fan had demonstrated his power.

So in the end, all he could say was, "Still, it was a big grace for you to take care of them for us. If there's anything that you need, please feel free to tell us."

This was a two pronged attack.

First, it was to repay Lin Fan so they wouldn't owe him anything in the future.

And second, it was so that they could build a closer relationship with Lin Fan in the future so that they could keep this cooperative relationship.

If Lin Fan asked for anything, he would certainly not skimp on it and give him more than he asked for.

When Lin Fan heard this, he revealed a mysterious smile as he said, "Well, there is something…"

He let his voice trail off, but that didn't stop the Lu Astral Emperor from feeling excited.

His biggest worry was that Lin Fan wouldn't want anything at all from them, that was the only way that his plan wouldn't work. But now that Lin Fan said that he actually wanted something, the Lu Astral Emperor would do his best to please him.

Lin Fan kept everyone in suspense until he suddenly waved his hand.

The moment that he waved his hand, there were several swords of light that suddenly appeared in this room. They surrounded several ministers and generals so that they wouldn't be able to move a single inch.

When the ministers and generals saw this, they immediately moved away from Lin Fan with fearful looks.

That was because when Lin Fan had suddenly called these swords of light out, they hadn't been able to sense a single thing. If it was them that Lin Fan had used these swords of light on, they wouldn't have been able to resist at all.

The ones that were trapped by the swords of light had looks of panic on their faces, but they found that they couldn't break free at all. With how tightly the swords of light were packed together, it was as if they would be sliced up if they moved even a single muscle.

It wasn't even possible for them to say a single thing, or they would have already started cursing Lin Fan out and demanded to be released.

The Lu Astral Emperor had been calm throughout all of this, but he wasn't as calm as he seemed on the surface.

After all, even he hadn't been able to react in time to Lin Fan's swords of light.

While he wouldn't have been threatened by them based on the aura that they released, he still wouldn't have been able to dodge in time.

He couldn't help being shocked by how strong Lin Fan was once he showed his cards.

However, this was the Lu Astral Empire and he was the Lu Astral Emperor. Doing something like this here was like a slap to his face, so he had no choice but to stand up for them.

Not to mention, some of the ones that Lin Fan had trapped were a few of the most influential ministers and generals of their Lu Astral Empire. He couldn't just let them die for no reason.

So the Lu Astral Emperor said, "Young master Lin, what is the meaning of this? Are you against our Lu Astral Empire as well?"

As he said this, he released his aura as a Ruler Realm Expert.

However, he was weaker than the Lin Astral Emperor since he was younger than the Lin Astral Emperor.

This pressure from the Lu Astral Emperor was easy for Lin Fan to resist.

He calmly looked at the Lu Astral Emperor and said, "I'm just taking care of a few traitors."

"Traitors?" The Lu Astral Emperor said with a confused tone, causing him to pull back his pressure as he started to waver.

After all, he knew that Lin Fan had slaughtered the Beast Race troops and the Outer Experts for their Lu Astral Empire. So he wouldn't do something like this unless he had a reason…

So he turned to look at the ministers and generals that were currently trapped with narrowed eyes.

When the ministers and generals saw this, they knew…that the jig was up.

Even if they were to find some way to explain this, they wouldn't be able to get out of this label of traitor. The seeds of doubt had been planted in the heart of the Lu Astral Emperor and he would investigate them no matter what.

Since the jig was up…the only thing that was important now was their lives.

For them to survive, they had to work together to break Lin Fan's swords of light and then take down Lin Fan with a sneak attack.

Once they took down Lin Fan, they would be able to escape since the Outers had given them abilities that would allow them to escape the Lu Astral Empire at any time.

When they made up their minds, there were cracks that formed in the space around these ministers and generals.

The moment that they saw these cracks, the others in the room realized that Lin Fan was right. They could sense that these were the spatial laws used by the Outers, so they knew that these ministers and generals had colluded with the Outers.

The Lu Astral Emperor didn't hold back his anger and pressure at all when he saw this, using it fully on these ministers and generals. However, the ministers and generals were completely focused on the swords of light around them.

They knew that unless they took care of these swords of light, they wouldn't be able to teleport out of this palace with the Outer spatial laws.

So the cracks immediately surrounded the swords of light around them.

But then…they were shocked to find…that these cracks in space didn't have any effect on the swords of light.

In fact, the moment that the cracks in space tried to attack the swords of light, they were shattered to pieces in an instant.

The ministers and generals couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with terrified looks when this happened.

It seemed that they had completely underestimated Lin Fan…

They thought that he had used some kind of secret technique to resist the Outer laws and take down those Outer Experts, but it turned out that he was able to resist the Outer laws this easily.

Just what kind of monster was this?

Seeing that the cracks in space had failed, the Lu Astral Emperor let out a secret sigh of relief before pressuring the ministers and generals again. He said in a stern and disappointed voice, "Why would you betray our Lu Astral Empire?"

But in return, there was nothing said by these ministers and generals.

He was confused at first, but then he remembered that Lin Fan's swords of light were still around these ministers and generals.

He looked over at Lin Fan and Lin Fan gave a wave of his hand which caused the swords of light to move back a bit.

Once they found that they were able to speak again, one of the ministers said, "Why wouldn't we betray this failing Astral Empire? The Outers will take over soon enough."
