Chapter 120：Justice

These congratulators were all members of the imperial court aristocracy. This also implies that behind the Snow Moon Holy Order stood the imperial family. 

Many people are eager to participate. The royal family has stepped forward to take the lead and establish the Sanctuary. Its power, needless to say, is bound to be extremely powerful. If one can step into it, there is no doubt that one will become famous and renowned in the future. 

As the congratulators gradually withdrew and returned to the crowd, the King of Tianlang stood there with a smile. Everyone in the crowd knew that the next step would be for the Holy Order to recruit new members. 

Just then, from above the sky, a sharp and piercing cry pierced through the air. The crowd felt that there was an extremely powerful and fierce aura above their heads, causing their gazes to narrow slightly and they raised their heads to look. 

"Arrow!" 

Above the firmament, a shaft of arrow, like a shooting star, came from the sky and formed a splendid arc, which was headed towards the Sky Wolf King on the high platform. 

"What's going on?" 

The eyes of the crowd all froze. How could anyone be so brazen as to shoot arrows at the King of the Wolves? And it happened on the very day the Holy Order was founded. It was simply too outrageous. 

Duan Tianlang's expression also froze for a moment. His smile vanished and a cold look appeared on his lips. 

"Crack!" 

A powerful sword beam roared out and slashed, and only then did the falling arrow stop moving and fall from the sky. Meanwhile, the rumbling hoof-beats came from afar, causing the earth to tremble. 

"Liuzhancan, congratulations on the establishment of the Snow Moon Holy Academy." 

A thunderous voice rolled in, catching everyone's attention. 

Liu Canglan, the Archer of Divine Skill, has also arrived! 

"Red Blood Cavalry, congratulating the establishment of the Snow Moon Holy Academy." 

The surging waves of sound were overwhelming and overwhelming, carrying a fierce and brutal aura. Even from afar, the crowd could sense that a fierce and brutal army was approaching continuously. 

"What's that?" 

Just then, many people's expressions changed dramatically. Suddenly, in the distance, countless arrows shot up into the air, carrying the force of a howling wind, heading towards the sky, presenting an extremely magnificent sight. 

All eyes were fixed and stared blankly at the countless arrows that filled the sky. Instantly, the sunlight above their heads was blocked out. 

Lord Liang Canglan, are you really here to congratulate the establishment of the Snow Moon Holy Order? 

"Be bold!" 

Duan Tianlang's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. He roared in anger and shot up into the air. In his hand, the brilliant swordlight was dazzling. 

Meanwhile, among the crowd at the Snow Moon Temple, there were many people whose bodies rose up into the air. A powerful and surging aura burst forth from them, and all the fierce attacks were directed towards the falling arrows. 

In the open space, countless arrows were flying haphazardly. The crowd below instantly became chaotic and scattered in all directions to avoid being hit by the arrows. 

The rumbling hooves came towards us. A group of red-blooded iron cavalry charged into the crowd that was spreading out in the middle, carrying with them a mighty and domineering wind. 

The leader had a stern and resolute expression, with a handsome and clean appearance. His eyes were as deep as the night sky, attracting more attention. What was even more remarkable was his long hair, all as white as snow. 

"Is it Liu Canglan? How come all his hair has turned white?" 

When the crowd saw the fierce-looking Red Blood Iron Cavalry, they all felt a shudder of fear. Liu Canglan was going to cause trouble on the day of the establishment of the Snow Moon Holy Order? 

The sound of horse hooves ceased. Among this batch of the Crimson Blood Cavalry, there were two hundred men, each of whom had a solemn expression and an extremely determined gaze. Those gazes seemed to pierce through everything. 

"Liuchanglan, do you know what you are doing?" 

The crowd in Xue Yue Temple was already in a complete chaos. Duan Tianlao's face was extremely pale and gloomy, staring intently at Liu Canglan on the horseback of the iron cavalry. 

"I'm here to seek justice." 

Liu Canglan's voice was calm, but it was precisely within this calmness that there was an incomparably firm resolve. 

"Justice?" Duan Tianlang sneered. "Today is the founding day of the Holy Order. Snow Moon is celebrating together. You come here asking me for justice?" 

"I have devoted twenty years of my life to Snow Moon. I have fought on the battlefield without ever raising my eyebrows. Snow Moon needs to establish a monastery. I have sent my only daughter, Liu Fei, to travel around everywhere, hoping that more people can join the monastery and become pillars of the nation." 

Liu Canglan's long white hair was fluttering in the air. She raised her head and gazed at the sky, speaking slowly. 

"I have no other thoughts but for Snow Moon and the Crimson Blood Cavalry. Even the Crimson Blood Cavalry, led by you, Segment Tianlao, and allied with several major clans, wiped out the Yunhai Sect. The Yunhai Sect, which nurtured me into an adult, was destroyed. On that day, blood flowed like a river. Segment Tianlao, you said, what justice could I claim?" 

Liu Canglan's gaze slowly descended from the sky and landed on Duan Tianlao, his gaze extremely sharp. 

When the crowd heard Duan Tianlang's account, they felt a pang of sadness in their hearts. The royal family is the most heartless! 

Liu Canglan was such a heroic figure, renowned throughout the land. However, his sect was wiped out merely because of an imperial decree issued by the royal family! 

No one would think that Duan Tianlang led his men to destroy the Yunhai Sect without the authorization from the royal family. 

"Yunhai Sect refused to establish the Holy Temple and defied the imperial edicts of the Snow Moon Royal Family. They were rebellious and would be exterminated. Now, you, Liu Canglan, leading your troops and cavalry into the imperial city, have caused trouble on the very day of the establishment of the Holy Temple. Do you know what crime this constitutes?" 

Duan Tianlang's expression changed from cold and indifferent to one of sternness. He said coldly, "And you lot! You were supposed to be the army of Snow and Moon, yet you joined the rebels and invaded the imperial city. Can you understand your guilt?" 

"Rebellious?" 

Everyone's gaze narrowed. With just one word from Duan Tianlao, Liang Canglan was labeled as a rebel. 

However, the faces of Duan Tianlang and others didn't show the slightest sign of change, remaining calm beyond compare. 

"For the sake of justice, what crime is there? I, Liu Canglan, am worthy of being called Snow Moon. I only feel ashamed for my sect and for this group of my brothers." 

Liu Canglan glanced at the people on both sides and there was a hint of remorse in her eyes. 

"To die with the general, what regret could there be in life?" 

The person on the left of Liu Canglan gave a light chuckle. In this tough soldier, a smile was like a revelation, revealing deep brotherly affection. 

"To die with the general, without regret." 

Hundreds of cavalrymen shouted in unison. They were all here of their own free will. Once they came here, they had made up their minds to die. They were not afraid of death. 

When the crowd saw these iron-blooded soldiers, they laughed and said, "Life and death are at stake." This made them feel a sense of solemnity and grandeur in their hearts. Suddenly, they felt a rush of blood surging up continuously. 

"Such a great general, what more could one ask for in this life?" 

Among the crowd, Yan Aoxue's eyes sparkled with a hint of sadness as she looked deep into the distance. 

He asked Lin Feng beside him, "Under the bronze mask, your eyes keep flickering. In your mind, a voice keeps emerging. It says, 'If the king orders it, the minister must die; the minister has no choice but to comply.'" 

When Liu Canglan led his cavalry into the imperial city, he had already made up his mind to die. Even if he died, he would still seek justice. Perhaps, he understood that even if he died, he would not be able to obtain that justice. 

Liu Canglan looked at each of his brothers one by one, let out a long breath, and his voice carried a touch of desolation. 

"Since that's the case, today is our last battle. Unfortunately, it won't be on the battlefield but within this Snow Moon Imperial City." 

Remove the bow and arrows from the back, aim them at Duan Tianlang. 

However, Duan Tianlang's gaze was extremely calm. A hint of sinister sneer was revealed at the corners of his mouth. 

Meanwhile, beside Duan Tianlang, many powerful figures suddenly appeared and rushed to his side. Their cold aura radiated, their murderous intent was obvious, and their demeanor was extremely fierce. 

A major conflict is on the verge of breaking out. 

"Wait a moment." 

Just at that moment, a loud shout was heard from the crowd, which was particularly clear and resounding. Immediately afterwards, the crowd saw a figure stride out. 

One could only see that this person wore a bronze mask on his face, and thus couldn't make out his features. 

Liu Canglan glanced at the back of his head and was about to act, but seeing the bronze mask, he couldn't help but shudder. The drawn bow also slowed down. 

"It's him!" 

Liu Canglan had met Lin Feng. In Yunhai Sect, he was about to abandon his cultivation and cease his efforts, but Lin Feng stopped him. Later, when he heard what Lin Feng said to his subordinates, he knew that this person wearing the bronze mask was Lin Feng. 

Throughout the entire Linghu Sea Sect, Lin Feng was the only one who survived by preserving his life. 

"At this moment it has nothing to do with you. Get out!" 

Liu Canglan coldly scolded, but Lin Feng surely understood what he meant. He calmly shook his head and said to Liu Canglan, "Since the General has seen through everything, why bother to come to the Imperial City?" 

"For the sake of justice," Liu Canglan responded calmly. He never expected Lin Feng to step in and get himself into a dilemma. 

"Justice? That's merely justice as perceived by the general. To others, this justice is nothing but a chess move aimed at securing the general's life. Justice is worth nothing!" 

Lin Feng shook his head, stepped forward and walked up to Liu Canglan, his gaze directed at Duan Tianlao. 

"King of the Celestial Wolves, today the Snow Moon Holy Temple was established. May I ask a few questions?" 

Duan Tianlang frowned. He never expected that suddenly a Lin Feng would show up. But for today's matter, it must be handled splendidly. Therefore, he didn't refuse. He responded coldly, "Speak!" 

"Snow Moon Temple, why is it named as 'Temple'?" 

"Sanctified, noble, holy, Snow Moon Holy Courtyard. The name of the Courtyard is derived from this meaning, which indicates the high status and the sanctity of the identity of Snow Moon Holy Courtyard." Duan Tianlao responded. 

"Ah, I see." Lin Feng gave a slight nod and then pointed at the crowd in the Xue Yue Holy Temple and said, "Among them, some are from the Hao Yue Sect, some are from the Ice and Snow Mountain Sect, and some are from the Yun Hui Sect that was wiped out by you. Now, they are all disciples of the Xue Yue Holy Temple. According to the meaning of the Tian Lao King, inviting people from other sects to join us is considered noble, while placing those rebels in the Xue Yue Holy Temple is considered holy, right?" 

As Lin Feng finished speaking, the crowd fell silent instantly. Even the eyes of Duan Tianlao were stunned for a moment. 

"Earlier, Lord Tianlang also disapproved of the term 'rebellion'. But since the Yunhai Sect was wiped out by Lord Tianlang, and its disciples followed you, isn't this rebellion? An academy that accommodates these rebellious and disorderly people, how could it be called a holy academy? And it was given the name of Snow and Moon, becoming the symbol of Snow and Moon? I'm sorry for my ignorance. Please, Lord Tianlang, enlighten me a bit." 

When Lin Feng saw that Duan Tianlao remained silent, he spoke again. Without uttering a single word, Duan Tianlao's expression grew even more gloomy. 

What an impressive mouth and what sharp words! They left him speechless!
