Chapter 245 I Have Been Wandering for a Long Time (32)

The wind was biting on the top of the mountain.

After Shen Minghuan said that, he stopped hiding his anger. When he was angry, everyone could see it.

Shen Minghuan didn't get angry often. He was protected wherever he went. Occasionally, his slight dissatisfaction was like a young man's coquettishness. Not only will the others not be afraid, they will also come together to make him happy.

But this time it was different. His entire aura became condensed, his brows and eyes were filled with anger, and the gentle smile at the corner of his mouth completely faded away, leaving only sarcasm and ridicule.

The air around him seemed to be stagnant because of this, and others held their breath involuntarily, not daring to make a sound.

Bai Jinwu wanted to persuade Shen Minghuan to calm down and not to ruin his body because of his anger, he was not worth it. But Bai Jinwu felt that he had no position to speak, so he knelt down silently.

Shen Minghuan used to feel soft when seeing him like this, but now he just sneered: "I haven't even started to say it yet, but you are aware of it."

"The matter of choosing the master of Dingshanhai cannot be hidden from you. Since I am not dead, the contract between me and the spring of all things will not dissipate. The master's divine weapon cannot allow others to reach out. So, Bai Jinwu, what are you doing here?"

"In vain do you care about other people's lives and come here to try to fight against Dingshanhai with the Spring of All Things? No, you know that if you attack the Spring of All Things, I will definitely feel it. You want to force me to come here."

"As you wish, I'm here, and then what? What else do you want to do?"

Bai Jin lowered his head and said nothing.

When Shen Minghuan asked those three questions, he knew that all his plans were in vain, but it was true that he made a big mistake. He only hoped that his king would not be too kind and soft-hearted.

"In the story Mo Jingchun told me, you said something - it doesn't matter if there are a few mistakes in the process, as long as the final outcome does not deviate."

Shen Minghuan sneered again, "I guess this is what you really want to tell me, right?"

"You have tried so hard to lure me here, so that I can see with my own eyes that you take away the spring of all things regardless of the life and death of all living beings, so I was ignorant and stupid and concluded that you have become such a vicious and greedy villain. I will kill Yu. Shenghan, destroyed Xinghe and Biluo, walked the path of the 'protagonist' in the story for you, and finally claimed to be a righteous sacrifice to you, right?"

Bai Jin's expression suddenly changed, and he retorted sternly: "Stop being so sentimental, Shen Minghuan, I'm just jealous of you. I'm the 'protagonist', I'm supposed to be the king of the galaxy, and I'm the most superior being in this divine realm. With that, Why are you better than me in everything? I just want to kill you. Only when you are gone can I regain the position that is rightfully mine!"

Shen Minghuan looked at him coldly: "Bai Jinwu, do you believe this?"

When Shen Minghuan was young, it was Bai Jinwu who eradicated the disloyal traitors in the galaxy and helped him secure his position as king.

Shen Minghuan didn't care about anything, and it was Bai Jin who had nothing to worry about, so that he could give him a stable rear, allowing him to wander outside in style.

"In your eyes, am I so stupid?" Shen Minghuan asked.

Bai Jin smiled bitterly, how could he dare to underestimate Shen Minghuan? The array of true and false stories was used to spread suspicion, but the king still could not be deceived.

Everyone said that Bai Jin was unparalleled in resourcefulness and almost as clever as a demon, but he could never be defeated in front of Shen Minghuan.

"Bai Jinwu, you assassinated my king in front of me and used your limbs in the back. The crime cannot be forgiven. Please give me a death." Bai Jinwu leaned down and worshiped, and the heavy snow fell, as if he wanted to bury him.

"Ming Huan." Mo Jingchun said hastily. Before Shen Minghuan could raise his hand, Luo Jinghong had already grabbed him back.

Luo Jinghong lowered his voice and said angrily: "Mo Jingchun, you cannot comment on the king's decision."

Everyone knew in the past that Bai Jinwu was Shen Minghuan's confidant, and Shen Minghuan's attitude towards him was different from that of ordinary people, so many people sometimes asked to see Bai Jinwu when they could not see Shen Minghuan.

Bai Jin could not do anything in Shen Minghuan's name, and Shen Minghuan mostly agreed to whatever he said.

Shen Minghuan's kindness to Bai Jinwu is more intuitive to the people of the Galaxy tribe. The military advisor rarely knelt, and he had never knelt in front of the king for so long.

Shen Minghuan always asked him to get up immediately. How could he be so indifferent like now?

Shen Minghuan glanced at him and said, "You just said you would let me handle it, but now you still want to do it?"

Bai Jinwu was stunned for a moment, "Of course."

"That's good." Shen Minghuan's expression softened a little.

——I don’t want you to say to me “at my disposal” as a prisoner. These four words only have meaning when you agree that I am your king.

Shen Minghuan looked around and said, "Xu Yaojia, I remember that you practice stick skills?"

Xu Yaojia was surprised for a moment. She looked at Bai Jinwu and said "yes" with difficulty.

"Give it to me." Shen Minghuan stretched out his hand towards her.

Xu Yaojia struggled to take out the stick from her storage ring. The stick was made of ebony and was as hard as iron, but it was the most common type in her storage ring.

Xu Yaojia walked to Shen Minghuan's side. She gritted her teeth, knelt down, and held the stick flat, "I would like to be punished on behalf of the military advisor, and I beg the king for permission."

The rest of the Xinghe tribe also knelt down on the spot, "I am also willing to ask the king to forgive the military advisor."

Shen Minghuan took the stick and weighed it. Facing the scene of everyone kneeling down, he didn't say whether he agreed or not. He just looked at Bai Jinwu with a half-smile.

Bai Jin's face was calm when he was waiting for punishment, and he even felt relieved that he had finally waited. However, when he saw the Xinghe clansmen begging for mercy on his behalf, his expression changed. He raised his head and angrily shouted: "How dare you disobey the king?"

Luo Jinghong sneered softly, feeling that Bai Jinwu was still the same. He was a gentleman at ordinary times, but when it came to the king's affairs, he became a mad dog.

Shen Minghuan held a stick and slowly walked behind the kneeling Bai Jinwu.

Bai Jinwu could not see his movements, nor did he dare to use his soul to perceive. He could only sense that Shen Minghuan seemed to be gesturing, and the stick passed through the void, making a whistling sound.

Shen Minghuan showed no mercy, and even used his spiritual power, hitting Bai Jinwu's back heavily with the ebony stick. Bai Jinwu did not kneel steadily, and fell forward in the snow under the force. He turned his head and spit out a mouthful of blood.

They did not expect Shen Minghuan to hit so hard, and everyone exclaimed in unison.

"You concealed the truth and acted on your own. You acted like a hero and made me a deserter. This is the first crime." Shen Minghuan snorted coldly: "Do you admit it?"

He beat him up, and then asked him if he admitted his guilt. It was really unreasonable.

Bai Jinwu struggled to get up and kneel down. He swallowed the sweet taste that surged up his throat again and said hoarsely, "I admit it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Minghuan hit him with the second stick.

Bai Jinwu was prepared this time and tried to support himself on the ice with his hands. However, he overestimated his ability. His arms softened and he fell down again, and even his consciousness was a little drowsy.

"As the current lord of the Galaxy, I failed to fulfill my duty to protect my people and watched them die. This is my second crime."

"...I admit it." Bai Jinwu's reaction was much slower. He didn't hear clearly what Shen Minghuan said, but he gladly accepted it no matter what the accusation was.

This time Bai Jinwu struggled to get up, and it was the second stick. He couldn't be so useless. The king had suffered so much injustice, and he had to let the king vent his anger.

"King!" Chao Yan pleaded, and the Xinghe people, including Xu Yaojia, also knelt and bowed again.

Bai Jinwu didn't even have the strength to reprimand them. He tried several times but still couldn't kneel properly.

Shen Minghuan looked indifferent and swung the stick again.

The third stick fell and Bai Jinwu spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Minghuan." Mo Jingchun broke free from Luo Jinghong and pleaded, "Enough, enough, are you really going to kill him? Can you punish the rest later?"

Shen Minghuan ignored him. He walked to the front of Bai Jinwu who was lying on his stomach, bent his knees and half-knelt, and stretched out a hand to him.

Bai Jinwu was no longer very conscious. He looked up blankly and whispered, "Wang..."

Shen Minghuan simply grabbed his hand that fell powerlessly in the snow, and passed his spiritual power to him, gently stroking his injuries.

Shen Minghuan didn't know medical skills, but he didn't care about the cost. He passed his spiritual power to him as if it was free, and soon Bai Jinwu regained some consciousness.

Bai Jinwu came to his senses and struggled to withdraw his hand, "Wang, I..."

"Shut up." Shen Minghuan rolled his eyes and pulled him up.

"Not cherishing yourself, gambling with your life, this is the third crime." Shen Minghuan said viciously: "Bai Jinwu, I haven't seen you for a hundred years, look at what you have done to yourself!"

Bai Jinwu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became a little hot, "But I, I will kill you..."

"Why, curse me? I'm still alive!"

"Wang," Bai Jinwu murmured, "Aren't you angry?"

"Angry." Shen Minghuan was indignant: "Very angry, very angry, I'm going to die of anger."

"Then I..." Bai Jinwu was about to kneel down again, and suddenly found that his hand was still being grabbed, and Shen Minghuan's spiritual power was still flowing continuously.

Shen Minghuan sighed, "Behave yourself. If I do anything to you again, their eyes will cut me alive."

Bai Jinwu suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp. How dare this group of people threaten the king?

Xu Yaojia and others shrank their necks and looked at Shen Minghuan pitifully.

"Take away your eyes, I'm still here." Shen Minghuan let go of Bai Jinwu's hand, "You all get up too."

He walked a few steps away, and the blood-stained stick turned into nothingness in his hand, "Xu Yaojia, I'll compensate you with a better one another day."

"No, no." Xu Yaojia actually wanted it very much. Shen Minghuan said it was a good thing, so it should be very good.

But she didn't dare to do it now. Except for Bai Jinwu, they were all guilty now. The guilt of killing this man with their own hands was in their hearts, making it impossible for them to get along with Shen Minghuan as before.

Shen Minghuan ignored the rejection and walked in front of all the people in Xinghe.

They had already stood up as instructed, and seeing that Shen Minghuan looked like he had something to say, they all gathered together.

Shen Minghuan said: "As a king, I failed to make you trust me, failed to notice the strangeness of this matter as soon as possible, and let you endure such great pressure for a hundred years, and let you lose all hope and go to a dead end. It's my fault."

He bowed deeply, "I'm sorry."

"King!"

"Minghuan."

Even Luo Jinghong and Mo Jingchun couldn't help but exclaim.

That was the extremely proud Shen Minghuan, the Shen Minghuan who never bowed his head in his life. Who could accept his courtesy? The Xinghe people tried to avoid him in a panic. After they dodged to the side, Shen Minghuan still maintained a deep bow.

Bai Jinwu suddenly burst into tears.

Full of sins and lonely for a hundred years, you ask him if he regrets it? How could he regret it? If it was for Shen Minghuan, everything would be worth it.
