Chapter 531 Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place

"Great King, please give the Silver Corps the justice it deserves!"

"Great King, please give the Silver Corps the justice it deserves!"

"Great King, please give the Silver Corps the justice it deserves!"

Sheng Minghui knelt on the ground, forcing himself to hold onto his belief. He stared at Sikong Yun's icy gaze, enduring the shivers running down his spine, and roared loudly.

He felt that if he didn't roar like this, he might not be able to hold on and would be crushed under Sikong Yun's cold gaze.

"Great King, please give the Silver Corps the justice it deserves!"

"Great King, please give the Silver Corps the justice it deserves!"

"Great King, please give the Silver Corps the justice it deserves!"

Xiao Zhen, Li Yuming, and the Eight Diamond Generals also understood Sheng Minghui's intentions. They suppressed their inner fear and joined in the deafening roar.

With their shouts, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Silver Corps also let out thunderous roars.

The sound echoed like thunder, unceasingly.

Cheng Xiangdi, Xiao Zhantian, and Lei Yehua all had solemn expressions, their faces showing displeasure.

As Grand Commanders, they were not only valiant warriors but also sharp-minded and perceptive. They knew that Sheng Minghui's actions were not simple. He had placed the future and prospects of the Silver Corps on the line to bring about Wang Chao's demise.

Was it worth it to pay such a price for the sake of killing Wang Chao?

The three of them looked at Sheng Minghui, who had been beaten so badly by Wang Chao, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.

Then, they turned their gazes toward Sikong Yun.

To be honest, they wanted to know what choice Sikong Yun would make.

As soldiers who defended their homeland, they fought not only for glory but also for their families.

They had sacrificed so much, shed blood and tears, all to provide a better life for their descendants.

Now, Sheng Minghui's son had been dismembered by Wang Chao and was still unconscious under anesthesia.

As fathers themselves, they could understand Sheng Minghui's actions. They might have done even more extreme things if it were their own sons who had suffered such a fate.

If, in such a major incident, their superior Sikong Yun didn't help them and instead blamed them, even punishing them, then all their previous struggles and battles would be meaningless.

Moreover, Sheng Minghui had left no room for doubt. He had presented solid evidence, giving Sikong Yun enough face and reason to execute Wang Chao and stand up for Sheng Minghui.

Not only Lei Yehua and the others, but all the soldiers of the Qilin Army were watching Sikong Yun, waiting for his decision.

Sikong Yun could no longer maintain his smile. His expression became very serious, and his gaze turned icy.

He looked at Sheng Minghui, who was kneeling on the ground and shouting, then looked at Wang Chao, lost in thought.

On one side was justice, on the other were his brothers who had followed him through life and death. In the short term, he couldn't make a choice.

If Wang Chao were an ordinary person, it would be easy—kill him and stand up for his brothers. There would be no big deal.

However, Wang Chao was powerful and shrouded in mystery.

Sikong Yun had no confidence in defeating Wang Chao.

If they had a falling out and Wang Chao escaped, he would undoubtedly seek revenge. That would be a real disaster for the Dragon Kingdom.

Sikong Yun was about to be crowned, about to receive the admiration of the world. He didn't want to confront someone like Wang Chao, which would be an unnecessary and exhausting endeavor.

After ten seconds of contemplation, Sikong Yun's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Wang Chao with a piercing killing intent.

Wang Chao's eyes narrowed, and he smiled self-deprecatingly. "It seems that you have made up your mind, Great King. However, your choice disappoints me."

From Sikong Yun's gaze, he had already guessed everything.

This was an execution to maintain the morale of the army!

After all, for someone like Sikong Yun, a Great King, having a strong and loyal army was the most important thing!

Sheng Minghui had followed Sikong Yun through life and death, and they had killed countless powerful enemies together, earning numerous achievements.

"Now, Sheng Minghui leads the entire Silver Corps in kneeling and forcing Sikong Yun's hand. Even if Sikong Yun knows that Sheng Minghui is wrong, he must protect Sheng Minghui, maintain the morale of the troops, and preserve his own image in the hearts of all Qilin Army soldiers!

"Mr. Wang..." Sikong Yun stared at Wang Chao, his voice turning extremely cold.

Seeing Sikong Yun's reaction, Sheng Minghui, Cheng Xiangdi, Xiao Zhantian, Lei Yehua, and Xiao Zhen all breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of their worries.

At the same time, they felt a sense of security and smiled.

Sikong Yun had chosen Sheng Minghui, which meant he had chosen them, the soldiers.

In other words, as long as they didn't do anything excessive, Sikong Yun would protect them.

As heroes and their descendants, after being ennobled, they would have free rein in the southern provinces and wouldn't have to worry about being punished.

"Lord Sikong, let me handle this matter," a cold voice suddenly came from a distance.

Then, a BMW car drove over from afar.

Seated in the driver's seat was none other than Tang Zelong, the commander of the Dragon Team in Canton City.

"Halt! This is the territory of the Qilin Army. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach," a group of Qilin Army soldiers immediately stepped forward, blocking the car.

Tang Zelong got out of the car and walked up to the Qilin Army soldiers, presenting his credentials. "Commander of the Dragon Team, Tang Zelong."

The expressions of the Qilin Army soldiers changed when they saw the credentials.

As the commander of the Dragon Team, Tang Zelong's status was second only to Sikong Yun. They had no right to obstruct him.

"Please come over, Commander Tang," Sikong Yun said in a deep voice.

He was at least a kilometer away from Tang Zelong, but his voice was clear and transmitted to the soldiers' ears.

Following his voice, all the Qilin Army soldiers made way.

Tang Zelong remained calm, striding forward. He soon appeared in front of Wang Chao and Sikong Yun, saying lightly, "Greetings, Lord Sikong."

Sikong Yun glanced at Tang Zelong. "It's been a long time, Mr. Tang."

Tang Zelong bowed and then said calmly, "Lord Sikong, let me handle this matter. I guarantee that it will be dealt with fairly and justly."

Standing in front of Sikong Yun, Tang Zelong requested to personally handle the matter.

"Does the Dragon Team want to meddle in the affairs of our war department?" Sikong Yun asked in a stern voice.

The Dragon Team, formerly known as the Jin Yiwei, was a trusted group of the Lord and had only two responsibilities: first, gathering information on the various influential figures in the Dragon Kingdom, and second, protecting the city from harm.

However, Dragon Team members rarely got involved in matters of the war department.

Now, with Tang Zelong, a regional commander of the Dragon Team, appearing in the war department and requesting to handle the matter, it suddenly became more complicated.

Sheng Minghui's expression changed when he saw Tang Zelong. He said in a deep voice, "This matter is unrelated to the Dragon Team. There's no need for the Dragon Team to intervene."

"Commander Tang, please leave."

He had done so much to firmly establish Wang Chao's guilt. If the Dragon Team were to investigate and uncover the truth, he would have no way to make Wang Chao pay the price.

Moreover, he might even pay the price himself.

Tang Zelong smiled wryly at Sheng Minghui's words. "Commander Sheng, you're mistaken. This matter is precisely the Dragon Team's business. Why shouldn't I intervene?"

"The Dragon Team's business?" Sikong Yun was taken aback.

"Of course!" Tang Zelong nodded, pointing at Wang Chao. "The person you want to deal with, Wang Chao, is a secret member of the Dragon Team."

"Your war department personnel arrested him and threw him into prison without an arrest warrant or concrete evidence, and now you want to kill him. Don't you think I should intervene in this matter?" Tang Zelong said.

What?

Upon hearing Tang Zelong's words, everyone present had a drastic change in their expressions. They looked at Wang Chao with disbelief written all over their faces.

Especially Yang Yue and Bai Yang, they were dumbfounded.

Wang Chao was a secret member of the Dragon Team?

How did they not know about this?

They glanced at Wang Chao and then at Tang Zelong, suddenly everything became clear.

No wonder Tang Zelong...

"Commander Tang, you, you must be joking, right?" Sheng Minghui said.

"Do I look like I have time to joke with you?" Tang Zelong replied coldly.

"Commander Sheng, don't you believe it?"

Wang Chao smirked and took out his work ID, tossing it directly in front of Sheng Minghui. "See for yourself."

Sheng Minghui's expression changed, and he quickly picked up the ID, examining it carefully.

As he read, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His expression became incredibly ugly, and he fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, his face pale. He muttered, "Impossible, how... how is this possible?"

On the ID card, there were black words on white paper with a red stamp, unmistakably the credentials of the Dragon Team!

It was true!

Sheng Minghui's eyes widened in horror, shaking with fear. His hands trembled, causing the ID to fall to the ground.

Sikong Yun furrowed his brows slightly, extending his hand. A powerful force immediately lifted the ID card into the air, landing in his hand.

He opened the ID and carefully examined it.

As he read, his expression also changed.

Dragon Team instructor!

Secret member!

Only follows xx's command!

Executes missions according to personal will!

Seeing these contents on the ID, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

He could overlook other things, but the last item, executing missions according to personal will, indicated that Wang Chao could act independently!

Such power was enough for Wang Chao to have free rein in the Dragon Team!

Even on the credentials of Tang Zelong, the commander of the Dragon Team, there was no such clause.

It indicated that Wang Chao's background was even more extraordinary than he had imagined!

"Wang Chao is a member of the Dragon Team? How is that possible?"

"It's over!"

"It's all over!"

Xiao Zhen, Li Yuming, and others saw the expressions of Sikong Yun and Sheng Minghui, and their moods plummeted. Their faces turned pale.

Especially Xiao Zhen, his expression was even more unsightly, as if he had just eaten a dead rat.

Wang Chao was a member of the Dragon Team, and they were doomed!

Moreover, judging from the expressions of Sheng Minghui and Sikong Yun, Wang Chao's position was not simple.

"Lord Sikong, may I handle this matter now?" Tang Zelong said calmly.

Sikong Yun remained silent.

Wang Chao is a member of the Dragon Team, holding a high position, yet he was captured by Sheng Minghui, imprisoned, and framed.

WTF!

What an idiot Sheng Minghui is!

Sikong Yun's expression darkened, and he felt an impulse to strangle Sheng Minghui.

He had achieved astonishing feats on the extraterritorial battlefield and was about to be crowned as the Great King. But now, at this critical moment, Sheng Minghui had caused such trouble for him.

It would not be a big deal if he had offended someone else, but he had managed to offend a member of the Dragon Team. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

That damn fool!

At this moment, Sheng Minghui also realized the gravity of the situation. He quickly kneeled on the ground and pleaded, "Please, Lord Sikong, intercede for me."

At this moment, he felt fear as well.

Even as the commander of the White Silver Legion, he had no means to resist if the Dragon Team wanted to capture someone. If Wang Chao sought revenge publicly, he would be doomed!

At this moment, only Sikong Yun could save him.

After a moment of contemplation, Sikong Yun flicked his finger, teleporting the ID back into Wang Chao's hands, and said in a deep voice, "So it's Mr. Wang, my apologies for the misunderstanding."

"I believe this is just a misunderstanding. We are all comrades striving for the stability and happiness of Dragon Kingdom. There's no need for armed conflict, right?"

Wang Chao chuckled in response.

To him, this was a serious matter, but in Sikong Yun's mouth, it became just a misunderstanding?

This was showing excessive favoritism!

Sikong Yun looked at Tang Zelong and calmly said, "Commander Tang, do not you think so?"

Tang Zelong frowned.

Sikong Yun was clearly favoring Sheng Minghui!

He wanted to handle the matter impartially, but he didn't desire to offend Sikong Yun, the future ruler. After all, in the future, the entire Southern Three Provinces would be under Sikong Yun's jurisdiction, and they would be relying on his power in Canton City.

If they fell out now, they would face significant resistance when operating in Canton City. They might even become thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh of all members of the Qilin Army!

"I do not think this is a misunderstanding."

Wang Chao put away the ID card, his gaze icy as he spoke slowly, word by word, "Commander Sheng ordered tanks, mortars, and planes to bombard me, with the intent to kill. Anyone could see it!"

"If you believe that all of this is a misunderstanding, then can I also use a tank to bombard Commander Sheng and the others?"

Sikong Yun's face darkened.

Tang Zelong's expression also changed.

Xiao Zhantian, Xiao Zhen, and others stared at Wang Chao with gloomy expressions.

They could see that Wang Chao was not willing to let things go so easily.

This was a fulfill lack of face for Sikong Yun!

"Mr. Wang, what do you desire then?" Sikong Yun asked.

Wang Chao's expression remained emotionless as he approached Sheng Minghui, looking down on him from above.

"Mr. Wang..."

Sheng Minghui looked up at Wang Chao, his eyes filled with fear, opening his mouth as if to apologize.

Boom!

At that moment, Wang Chao kicked him, sending him flying more than five meters away. Sheng Minghui crashed to the ground, blood flowing from his seven orifices, barely clinging to life.

Wang Chao moved swiftly, taking the handcuffs carried by Tang Zelong and, with a click, handcuffed Sheng Minghui's hands.

Then, he lifted Sheng Minghui and threw him in front of Bai Yang, coldly stating, "Sheng Minghui disregarded the law, attempted murder, committed illegal acts, deserving the highest punishment!"

"Take him back, lock him up in the dungeon!"
