Lin Yuan looked deeply into Jin Qianxun's eyes.

Jin Qianxun's demeanor and expression told him that Jin Qianxun was indeed uninvolved with the matter.

If unsavory ideas had entered his mind, Bai Qinghuan would have informed Lin Yuan long ago.

"Oh? You said that they're here to apologize to me. What is the error that they need to apologize for?"

Jin Qianxun hurriedly explained the entire situation to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was silently shocked. He had not expected Bai Qinghuan to come up with such a callous idea.

Jin Qianxun had even managed to carry out such a callous idea.

This event showed that Jin Qianxun and Bai Qinghuan could cooperate with each other.

He had arrived at the martial arts hall suddenly, and not even Jin Qianxun was aware of it. Thus, it went without saying that the aristocratic families' leaders were also unaware.

This meant that the two imperial guards had acted on their own accord.

The leader of the Du family and Fang family were innocent parties who had been dragged into this.

With this, Jin Qianxun had established the necessary might and formidable authority.

Currently, the Great Lush Federation was lacking in top combat power.

Lin Yuan felt that it would be better to let Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan live.

If the Fang family and Du family's members were all reduced to ashes, the two of them would no longer be able to continue as the leaders of the Du family and Fang family.

Lin Yuan decided that he would have them make up for the two empty imperial guard spots.

There were times when it would be better to keep the sinners alive rather than kill them in order to make an example out of them.

With every additional day that Du Yaoshan and Fang Weijie lived, the other secret aristocratic families would continue to remember what Jin Qianxun had done.

Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan had sworn their loyalty to Jin Qianxun. Hence, no matter how much they hated him, they could only swallow their loathing.

When Lin Yuan did not respond, Jin Qianxun immediately started to panic as he assumed that Lin Yuan was begrudging him.

This caused the hatred that Jin Qianxun felt for Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan to reach a peak.

"Lord, why don't you kill the two of them now? Since the imperial guards who committed the crime came from their families, they have to be involved!"

The moment Jin Qianxun spoke, the trembling Du Yaoshan and Fang Weijie started to wail, "Lord, we have been wronged! We did as you said and swore our loyalty to Jin Qianxun. We would never dare to scheme against you! Those two people weren't in Elder Weng's tent that day and had no idea what happened. They only crossed you by accident!"

Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan were begging for mercy from Lin Yuan now because this was their only chance to save their lives and because they knew that Jin Qianxun would not use the contract to torture them while Lin Yuan was here.

Ever since they overcame the Silver Bamboo Charcoal on the 365 stairs to arrive at the main palace, Jin Qianxun had already used the contract to torture them countless times.

As such, both of them detested Jin Qianxun.

They could never forgive him for exterminating their families.

However, both of their lives were in Jin Qianxun's hands, so they would never have the chance to get their revenge.

It would be better for them to continue living rather than die like this.

They were in the prime of their lives and could have more progeny. But if they died, their bloodline would die with them. The Fang family and Du family would end with them.

When he heard Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan say that they were wronged, Jin Qianxun's jaw clenched tightly.

If they were wronged, what about him?

At that moment, Jin Qianxun, Fang Weijie, and Du Yaoshan heard Lin Yuan say calmly, "Since you know that the imperial guards who came from your families have made a mistake, I'll give you the chance to make amends! Go and fill up the two empty imperial guard spots tomorrow morning."

After Lin Yuan spoke, Jin Qianxun dared not add anything after.

It was clear that Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan were elated.

Both of them had made their pleas as a final desperate attempt. Neither of them thought that it would truly work.

But how were they going to become imperial guards in their current state? If they became wheelchair-bound imperial guards, they would never be able to keep up.

Jin Qianxun would then use the excuse to get rid of them.

Despite being lost in their thoughts, neither of them forgot to thank Lin Yuan profusely.

Bai Qinghuan grinned in amazement to herself.

Lin Yuan's action had not only preserved the Great Lush Federation's top combat power but had also left Jin Qianxun's authority intact.

Bai Qinghuan had not thought of that method.

The way that Weng Baochuan looked at Lin Yuan had clearly changed.

In Weng Baochuan's heart, Lin Yuan was a faction leader who had managed to kill Fifth Page Truth. He was someone incomprehensible and all-powerful.

Yet, it turned out that Lin Yuan also had a merciful side of him.

This trait only elevated Lin Yuan's character.

Because of his action, Weng Baochuan felt that he would be able to grow.

At that moment, Weng Baochuan understood why his grandfather had told him to stay by Lin Yuan's side to train.

Now that Lin Yuan was done with what he needed to do, he wanted to head to the Iron Hammer Federation to take a look at the Snow Celestial Mountain.

Lin Yuan had already explored all the contents of the Annal of Monster Information that he had access to.

For the Snow Celestial Mountain to be written in the book, there had to be something extraordinary about it.

Lin Yuan raised his hand, and two green beams of light landed on Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan.

Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan, who were in agony, suddenly felt all of their pain disappear. This was followed by a numb feeling in their legs.

From their angle, they could not see the changes that were happening to them, but Jin Qianxun, Bai Qinghuan, and Weng Baochuan watched as new bones, muscles, and skin grew on Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan's decimated legs.

Jin Qianxun's oldest brother, Jin Qianding, had been a healing-type spirit qi professional.

People from other secret aristocratic families always came to seek treatment from Jin Qianding.

However, Jin Qianding had never been able to regrow bones and flesh like Lin Yuan was able to do.

Lin Yuan's actions had exceeded the comprehension of Jin Qianxun, Bai Qinghuan, and the rest.

Lin Yuan ignored their reactions.

After treating Fang Weijie and Du Yaoshan, he left and returned to his room.

He intended to send word to Liu Jie and Su Yiren and leave for the Iron Hammer Federation in two days.

Within another two days, Lin Yuan would be able to settle all the matters in the Great Lush Federation.

Now, the Divine Wood Federation, Iron Hammer Federation, and Great Lush Federation were all at peace, and the biggest issues related to their development had all been resolved. It would only be a matter of time before the three federations started thriving.
