When the Lu Astral Emperor heard this, he immediately knitted his brows.
Once again, the pressure that fell onto these traitors increased as he released even more of his aura.
But there were some of the ministers and generals who couldn't help revealing looks of being moved.
After all, there was some truth behind what they said.
Lin Fan had been able to help them win this battle, but it wasn't as if Lin Fan would help them forever. They were a powerful Astral Empire, so they had also received news about the Lin Astral Empire.
They knew that the Lin Astral Empire was also struggling with the Beast Race troops, so it wouldn't be long before Lin Fan headed back.
The only reason that he had been here in the first place was that he and the Lin Astral Empire were worried about the Lu Astral Empire losing. Once the Lu Astral Empire lost against the Beast Race, the demon beasts that had been here would flood into the Lin Astral Empire's territory.
Now that fear had been alleviated and the Lu Astral Empire situation had been stabilized a bit, it wouldn't be long before Lin Fan left.
At that time, they would once again struggle against the Beast Race and Outers.
Even if they knew how to deal with the Outer laws now because of what Lin Fan had shared with them, it would take them a long time before they were able to fight properly…
So it did seem like the Lu Astral Empire was close to collapsing…
Thinking about their families, they couldn't help wondering if betraying the Lu Astral Empire really was the best way.
The traitors could naturally see the effect that they had, so they decided to add even more fuel to the flames.
"You think that we're the only ones in this dying Lu Astral Empire? We're just the one that got caught. There's plenty more of us, so you'll never be able to stop us. You might as well join us before it's too late."
When this was said, all of the ministers and generals couldn't help looking at the people around them.
They could see that many of them were affected by this…
The traitors just revealed smiles on their faces when they saw this, but then those smiles quickly froze when an even stronger pressure fell on them. At the same time, all of the ministers and generals quickly looked away and hid their expressions.
That was because they could feel the rage that was coming from the Lu Astral Emperor.
A few of the traitors couldn't help giving a gulp when they felt this.
They were only in the World Realm, so facing the full pressure of a powerful Ruler Realm Expert like this was naturally hard for them. Even the aid from the Outers wasn't enough to counter this out.
But they didn't seem like they were panicking.
It was almost as if they felt like they were in full control of this situation.
That was what confused the Lu Astral Emperor.
He might have been filled with rage, but that didn't mean that he allowed that rage to cloud his mind. He could see that these traitors seemed to have another trick up their sleeves, so he was really pressuring them to use it.
Feeling the pressure getting stronger and stronger on them, the traitors knew that they wouldn't be able to stay here for long.
So with a look between them, one of them suddenly had something appear in their mouth.
While this person was shattering this thing in their teeth, another one of them said, "We'll be seeing you then. I hope that when we meet again, I will be able to see your face filled with despair."
The moment that the thing in the mouth of that traitor was cracked, there were spatial cracks that formed once more.
However, this time, the fluctuations that came from these spatial cracks were much stronger than before.
It was clear that this time…these were Outer spatial laws that were in the Ruler Realm.
This was clearly a special item that had been given to them to escape with just in case that they had been caught.
The Lu Astral Emperor wanted to do something, but he found that he couldn't do a single thing to the spatial cracks that had formed. It seemed like he would have no choice but to watch as they escaped…
But before they could, Lin Fan waved his hand.
The moment that he did, the spatial cracks suddenly shattered apart and disappeared without a trace.
The looks on the faces of the traitors were ones of absolute shock as they couldn't believe what had happened.
The Outer that had given them this thing had promised that unless it was one of the peak Ruler Realm Experts of this universe, it wouldn't be possible for them to stop them from escaping.
So how did it fail?
Lin Fan just revealed a calm smile as he waved his hand again.
One of the swords for each of these traitors suddenly came forward and stabbed them in the chest. Or rather, it stabbed them right in the dantian.
When this happened, all of the traitors revealed looks of shock as they never expected to be crippled like this.
Once all of their life energy had scattered, Lin Fan released the swords of light that had been holding these traitors and they fell to the ground.
After falling to the ground, the traitors looked at their hands in a daze before they had different reactions.
Some of them started waving their hands, some of them started punching out, and some started to run. However, not a single one of them was able to escape and not a single one of them was able to gather their life energy.
They had been completely crippled by Lin Fan, so there was only one fate waiting for them.
While they were distracted by the fact that they had been crippled, Lin Fan gave a snap and there were several things that suddenly appeared.
These were the items that the Outers had given these traitors.
He had been silent the whole time since he had been searching their bodies with his spiritual senses. Once he found them, it was a simple matter of using spatial laws to take these things away.
Seeing that they didn't have anything left, the traitors crumpled to the ground.
The Lu Astral Emperor couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a strange shocked look before giving a sigh and saying, "Take them away."
The guards that had been on the side suddenly came forward to grab these traitors and led them away to the dungeon.
But as the traitors were leaving, they didn't forget to shout, "This is the end for the Lu Astral Empire! You'll never be able to take down the Outers! You don't even know who the other traitors are!"
When the Lu Astral Emperor heard this, he deeply knitted his brows.
But before they could be taken away, Lin Fan suddenly said, "Stop!"
If it was anyone else, the guards wouldn't have hesitated to ignore them, but it was different since it was Lin Fan.
They turned to look in the Lu Astral Emperor's direction and after a moment of hesitation from him, he gave a nod to those guards.
Those guards stopped walking away with the traitors and waited to see what Lin Fan had to show.
Lin Fan however didn't say a thing as he turned to look at Lu Fei Yu.
He gave her a nod that she understood and she walked out of the room.
When she came back, she wasn't alone.
She came back with an Outer in full power armour.
Seeing this Outer, all of the ministers and generals that were standing in this room moved even further away.
The Lu Astral Emperor knitted his brows, but the traitors immediately said, "Please save us! Please save us!"
However, the Outer completely ignored the ones crying for help.
After a moment of silence, the Lu Astral Emperor asked Lu Fei Yu, "What have you brought this enemy here for? Are you also…"
He didn't finish his words, but the way that he looked at her made it clear what he was thinking.
Lu Fei Yu had wanted to say something, but under the pressure of a Ruler Realm Expert, she wasn't able to make a single sound.
Lin Fan was the one that said, "It's not what you think. I've already broken his mind and have full control over him, so he won't do anything to harm you."
When they heard this, there was only silence that followed.
Everyone looked at Lin Fan with looks of disbelief, as if they couldn't believe what they had just heard.
Seeing this, Lin Fan gave a demonstration as he said, "Name all of the traitors that you told me before."
The Outer Expert started listing names in a daze.
The first few names were the names of the ones that had been captured and crippled, but there were more names that followed.
At first, the traitors had calm looks on their faces, but the more that they heard, the more disturbed they became. In the end, they looked at the Outer Expert with looks of absolute disbelief.
This was more than enough for the Lu Astral Emperor to understand that the Outer Expert had given them the truth.
He gave a nod to the guards on the side who quickly tied up the Outer Expert and led them away.
Lin Fan ignored this and turned to the traitors to say, "Traitors will never have a good ending."
Then with a smile he nodded to the guards behind the traitors to take them away.
