The Reincarnated Villain Makes The Heroines Tearfully Beg for Forgiveness

Chapter 73: We'll Never Turn Our Backs

The death of Seven Saints in one go wasn't a trivial matter. It was a great loss for the entire Lingxuan Continent.

Moreover, they were the Heavenly Palace's Devil Hunting Squad members who possessed extraordinary talents and were blessed by Goddesses.

Lin Yan asked solemnly, "Is there any evidence?"

The former Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly, "Of course there is. Lin Yan, we have used the immortal weapon and performed a time rewind to see the actions of Teng Gang and the rest. Thankfully, this matter didn't involve you. If not, I'm afraid we would have to take you down now."

The Immortal Weapon: Time Rewind, allows one to see what happened in the past. So, they shouldn't be mistaken.

Lin Yan frowned as he looked at Teng Gang and the others lying on the ground.

His eyes finally fell on Zhao Ling'er, and he said, "Ling'er, tell us what's going on here?"

Zhao Ling'er shook her head and rebuked angrily, "We didn't know what happened. Suddenly we were taken down by the Heavenly Emperor and the others. We are wronged in this matter."

Lin Yan looked at the other three and asked them one by one.

However, the final answer he got from most of them was similar to Zhao Ling'er's.

The former Heavenly Emperor reached out his hand, patted Lin Yan's shoulder, and said, "Lin Yan, this matter is of great importance. I will bring them back to the Heavenly Palace and examine them carefully … You'd better stay in it to prevent this matter from implicating you."

Staring at Teng Gang and others for a moment, Lin Yan finally nodded, "Okay, I'll come to the Heavenly Palace with you."

…

Looking at Teng Gang and the others being detained by the former Heavenly Emperor and taken to the Heavenly Palace, even Lin Feng, at this moment, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Teng Gang and ask curiously, "Brother Teng Gang, you must have been wrongly accused, so what happened afterward?"

Looking at the screen above his head, Teng Gang calmly said, "I was imprisoned for a while. But soon, they lifted us from the suspicion and released us, but…."

Teng Gang gritted his teeth as he continued, "But only me and the Young Sister Ling'er were released, the third and the fourth, both of them …died."

Were they dead?

Lin Feng and others were shocked.

At this moment, although Lin Feng knew that asking about the future was tantamount to rubbing salt in the wound of Teng Gang, after hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask, "How did they die?"

Teng Gang shook his head, "I don't know. Later I learned that the two died because Extraterrestrial Devils possessed them. But when I checked the two, I saw no signs of any extraterrestrial devil possessing them."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed strangely, "That is to say, this matter is most likely related to the Heavenly Emperor …and the matter itself is a bit wrong. Just after he was left alone for two days, something happened to you guys … Isn't the Heavenly Master a suspect?"

Many people around nodded at Lin Feng's speculation.

At this time, a cold voice came from the side.

"In a short while, my father will be killed by him, and he will become the new Heavenly Emperor."

Everyone turned their heads and saw the person that spoke. It was Xiao Mei.

At this moment, Xiao Mei was somewhat lost in thought as she stared at the screen above her head, and the complexity in her eyes could be seen.

Now within the screen in the sky, what appeared was precisely the scene of that former Heavenly Emperor.

But unfortunately, the former Heavenly Emperor would be killed by Lin Yan in a short while.

Right now, it might be the last time Xiao Mei could see her father.

Hearing what Xiao Mei said, Lin Feng even looked uplifted and said, "I see; this must be a trap set by the Heavenly Emperor to frame Brother Teng Gang and the others and get them captured by the former Heavenly Emperor…."

"What happened after that was simple. Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian, who weren't high enough in cultivation, were secretly killed by the Heavenly Emperor and framed by the former Heavenly Emperor…"

"In this way, the Heavenly Emperor had an excuse to avenge his brothers, so he could kill the former Heavenly Emperor openly and take his place…."

"Perhaps, the Heavenly Emperor already had this plan when he first took advantage of his drunkenness and befriended Brother Teng Gang and the others … He must be desperate. It's terrifying." Saying that, Lin Feng sighed under his breath.

Other people thought back at what Lin Feng said, and at once, they felt that there was a great deal of truth.

The Heavenly Emperor in Lin Feng's description was more in line with the image of the evil, scheming Heavenly Emperor in their hearts.

Even Teng Gang and Xiao Mei couldn't help but look at Lin Feng.

…

(Within The Screen In The Sky)

The scene changed again.

After being captured at the Heavenly Palace, Teng Gang and the others were imprisoned in the forbidden place of the Heavenly Palace.

The former Heavenly Emperor and others checked several times. Finally, they were determined that Teng Gang and the others were why their Heavenly Palace's Devil Hunting Squad suffered such heavy losses this time.

Although they couldn't find the slightest evil qi of the Extraterrestrial Devils in the bodies of Teng Gang and others, the crime of killing an entire Devil Hunting Squad alone would be enough to sentence them to death.

"For the sake of their previous merits, let's not torture their souls and put them directly into the Celestial Divine furnace for refinement." The former Heavenly Emperor decided with a gloomy face inside the Heavenly Palace Hall.

Although the decision to execute Teng Gang and the others saddened him, it was equivalent to abolishing two Devil Hunting Squads at once.

Moreover, one of them was the strongest Devil Hunting Squad in the Heavenly Palace.

The only fortunate thing was that the captains of both squads were fine.

The Heavenly Palace couldn't stand the losses if even one Immortal Realm captain were killed.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Yan stood silently below and didn't defend a word to Teng Gang and others.

But even if he defended, it was useless.

He was still under heavy suspicion as the Captain of the "Zhenzi" squad.

Because of his previous merits and connections, Lin Yan wasn't imprisoned.

Otherwise, Lin Yan would have also joined Teng Gang and others.

…

"See, everything is just like I said."

With a smile, Lin Feng looked up at the screen above his head and said, "If the Heavenly Emperor didn't scheme, he would have come forward by now and defended Brother Teng Gang and the others, but he didn't say anything, which just proves that he has a ghost in his heart."

"Young warrior Lin Feng's analysis makes sense."

The other cultivators around gave a thumbs up to Lin Feng.

Next to them, Teng Gang, Xiao Mei, and even Xiao Yanran's expressions turned ugly.

If everything was as Lin Feng said, from the beginning, the Heavenly Emperor was deep-minded and scheming and didn't become ruthless later.
