Chu Feng was led by two law enforcers into a separate makeup room, where a makeup artist was already waiting.
One of the law enforcers gestured and said, "Mr. Chu, according to the procedure, you will personally go on stage to receive the award and be part of the district’s live broadcast. Therefore, you need to get your makeup done and change clothes in advance."
"No problem, I’ll cooperate with the process. But please, ma’am, don’t apply the makeup too heavily. I’m afraid it’ll feel uncomfortable if it’s caked on."
Chu Feng walked forward with a chuckle and settled into the barber chair, allowing the curious makeup artist to start working on his face.
Seeing how cooperative he was, the two law enforcers breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, grumbled internally.
Who allowed such a dangerous character to take the stage in person?
Couldn’t his little girlfriend go on stage to help him receive the award?
If this guy goes crazy and attacks some big shot on the spot, they feared they would be implicated to death!
What neither of them, including Chu Feng, knew was that the Noble Clans were firmly opposed to Chu Feng taking the stage to receive the award in person, and the case went as far as Long Minghai.
The reason was well-founded, Chu Feng’s character was too defiant and impulsive. If he offends the dignitaries, it could severely damage Longhua’s reputation.
You have to understand that the status of the Longhua Xingyun Achievement Award is extremely important—
It isn’t just an insignificant prize within the Longhua District for self-amusement, but a heavyweight award recognized across Blue Star!
Even though there are three higher-level awards above the Xingyun Achievement Award, that doesn’t stop it from attracting global attention.
Representatives from major districts all over Blue Star will be sent to attend this award ceremony!
...
The Longhua Xingyun Achievement Award holds such a high status because the Longhua District itself is too special—
It is the cradle of Blue Star Martial Arts, the only holy place of current martial arts, and the strongest district in the world!
Longhua District sparked a grand era of martial arts cultivation, spreading it around the world, allowing people all over Blue Star to rely on Martial Arts to combat Demons.
At the same time, Longhua continuously produces Martial Arts prodigies in numbers that far exceed other districts.
The powerhouses from Longhua almost make up more than forty percent of all the strong individuals on Blue Star and could potentially suppress the entire planet with the force of just one district!
With prestige and strength in spades, Longhua has now become the de facto "Alliance Master of Blue Star."
Therefore, everything within Longhua is extremely important in the eyes of other districts. Even a small ripple inside can be seen by some as a wave sweeping across the world.
The problems concerning Chu Feng were fiercely debated in the media at the time, and people in other districts couldn’t possibly be unaware of them.
Now, letting a controversial character with a history of murder take the stage in front of representatives from all the districts, aren’t they considering the consequences?
What if the award ceremony gets messed up?
However, Long Minghai quelled the qualms of the Noble Clans with just a single sentence:
"I will attend the award ceremony."
The voices of opposition suddenly became much quieter and gradually disappeared completely.
With Longhua’s strongest figure personally overseeing the event, what else was there to question?
...
After Chu Feng got his makeup done and changed into a subdued suit, he entered the venue led by the two law enforcers.
Many people were already seated in the venue. Initially, no one paid attention to Chu Feng’s arrival, but as soon as he took his seat in the second row, all eyes gathered on him.
Surprise, curiosity, indifference, anger, and appreciation—he was under the scrutiny of gazes laden with various meanings, burning into Chu Feng’s back like hot lasers.
The guests attending the ceremony were mostly no fools. Upon seeing Chu Feng’s seating position, they guessed his identity immediately.
Some were surprised at his youth, some admired his actions, others despised his violent character, and of course, there were those who gnashed their teeth at Chu Feng, wishing they could devour his flesh and drink his blood.
Chu Feng, however, was unconcerned about this. As if he had not noticed at all, he closed his eyes in peace, resting and waiting for the ceremony to begin.
...
Ten minutes later, the seats in the venue were almost full, and everyone who could come had arrived. They sat quietly in their places, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Suddenly, the lights in the venue dimmed gradually, and then a massive holographic projection lit up in the center of the stage.
The figure of Long Minghai emerged in the holographic projection, nodding to the audience with a smile, "I am Long Minghai, Speaker of the Longhua Government Council.
"Today, I represent Longhua and warmly welcome the arrival of guests from all walks of life and foreign dignitaries!"
After a round of applause, Long Minghai’s speech paused, and instead of continuing to talk about the award ceremony, he said:
"Before we start the award ceremony, we have a little show to perform. Please watch it attentively."
The guests attending the ceremony wore puzzled expressions. What little show? It wasn’t on the agenda of previous award ceremonies—when was it added?
Without further explanation, Long Minghai’s holographic image suddenly disappeared.
After that, a large empty space was projected in the air.
This was a desolate field illuminated brightly by spotlights, with a row of barracks in the background painted in dark green camouflage, distinctly military in character.
Importantly, in the middle of the field, knelt three rows of more than thirty figures, each with a black bag over their head!
More than thirty people kneeled in unison, facing the audience.
Behind them stood an equal number of masked soldiers, each with a rifle hanging from their chest and a long knife slung on their back.
The crowd was immediately struck with terror upon seeing this scene!
How could they not recognize where this was?
This was an execution ground! The military’s execution ground!
Were they about to carry out a public execution?
The image may have vanished, but Long Minghai’s calm voice still echoed in everyone’s ears, "Fellow members of the Human Race, this is the execution ground of the Yan Capital Law Enforcement Department’s First Execution Squad.
"Today, we in Longhua will live broadcast a solemn execution across the entire district.
"The subjects of this execution are these recently captured Human Race traitors!"
No sooner had he spoken, without waiting for any reaction, Long Minghai shouted, "Begin the execution!"
As if receiving a signal, an acknowledging voice rang out from beyond the holographic image, "Yes! Begin the execution!"
The camera panned to focus on one figure in the corner of the third row.
Sensing danger, the figure began to tremble violently and struggled frantically.
But he was bound with many ropes, tied up tightly, unable to break free.
The warrior behind him yanked off the black cloth from his head, revealing his face twisted with fear.
The crowd stared at this middle-aged man as a voice from outside the projection announced his crimes:
"Fu Yuefeng, formerly Deputy Platoon Leader of the Vanguard Platoon of the Eighth Company, 109th Regiment, 254th Regiment of the Second Division, Ninth Brigade stationed in the Far East Defense Line of the Demon Battlefield, holding the Level 1 Sergeant Rank!
"Upon investigation, Fu Yuefeng lost his convictions and ideals, betrayed his initial vows, was disloyal and dishonest to Longhua, resisted law enforcement investigation;
"Ignored military integrity and secrecy regulations, illegally received a large amount of cultivation resources from the Evil Cult ’God Worship Sect’, to whom he sold the secrets of his unit, as well as personal information of his subordinates;
"Directly and indirectly caused over a thousand warriors of the Demon Annihilation Army to die in battle, and has shown no remorse or reform, repeatedly committing the same errors!"
This voice continued to deliver the judgment:
"Fu Yuefeng severely violated the military discipline, integrity discipline, work discipline, and life discipline of the Longhua District Demon Extermination Army, committed treason and race betrayal, with a nature that is severe, an impact that is malicious, and crimes that are extremely evil!
"According to the Longhua Constitution and the Longhua District Demon Extermination Army Discipline Law among other relevant regulations, upon research and approval by the Longhua Government Parliament, Fu Yuefeng is sentenced to death by beheading!
"Now, prepare—!"
No sooner had the words fallen, Fu Yuefeng let out an earth-shattering wail from his throat: "Mmmmmm—"
His eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets as he suddenly collapsed forward onto the ground, wriggling desperately forward like a worm, trying to advance.
He was afraid of death! He didn’t want to die!
Even those who are extraordinarily bold, bloodthirsty, and indifferent to death will fall into extreme fear when faced with their own demise!
Only if one believes in certain ideals higher than life and death can one stand firm in the face of death.
Clearly, such traitors who betrayed the Human Race do not possess such noble convictions.
"..."
The executioner masked soldier bent down, grabbed Fu Yuefeng by the hair to lift him up, and with his other hand drew the long knife from his back, placing it at Fu Yuefeng’s neck.
The offscreen voice, without the slightest fluctuation, said coldly, "The death penalty, to be carried out immediately!"
Upon hearing the command, the executioner did not hesitate, releasing Fu Yuefeng’s hair while swinging the long knife, striking Fu Yuefeng’s neck like lightning!
Like a hot knife through butter, his head rolled on the ground like a soccer ball.
"Ssssh—"
Next second, a fountain of hot blood spurted skyward from the bowl-sized wound!
"Splatter—"
The warm blood sprayed onto the bodies of the prisoners in front, making them all convulse as if electrocuted, uttering muffled screams.
"Mmmm—"
"Mmm! Mmm!"
...
In the venue, there was dead silence.
As the crowd witnessed these events, they were deeply shaken.
