Chapter 1501: Chapter 1500: They Died with Honor

Chu Minghao rushed toward King Yu, and seemingly, there was also a scent of something, rushing toward King Yu.

King Yu’s head shook, and upon seeing Chu Minghao, his son’s face appeared even uglier, even more terrifying.

"Haohao, Haohao, don’t do this!" King Yu watched him rushing toward himself, eyes wide with desperation!

Don’t kill him!

Haohao, don’t kill him!

Don’t return to take his life!

He is your dear father!

"The collapse of the moat was all caused by you; you arranged everything, let your men plant the explosives to blow up the moat!"

"The moat collapsed, how many people died? Father, can your conscience be at peace? Can you sleep well at night?"

"Haven’t you heard? So many people crying for help? Not only men, but also women, elderly people, newborn infants barely days old?"

"Did you hear them? They were crying for help! But no one saved them; they were about to drown!"

"No, don’t... it’s not... it wasn’t me..."

Suddenly, King’s mind flashed with images.

Many people submerged in water.

Strong men, fragile women.

Elderly people, innocent infants.

They’re struggling in water, crying for help, but no one saved them! There was nothing!

Gradually, their struggling motions in water slowed down.

Their entire beings began to stiffen bit by bit.

Finally, only eyes remained, opened wider and wider...

"Father, you’ve done so many heartless deeds, caused so many deaths, isn’t there any twinge of conscience? Can you truly eat and sleep well?"

King Yu’s lips trembled fiercely, his entire body shaking: "Not... no... this king... this king..."

"You killed them! Father! You ordered the moat blasted open, killing over three thousand innocent people! It was you!"

"This king... I... I didn’t mean to! I didn’t mean to! It was... it was the Emperor! The Emperor blocked my path! It was Chu Jiangnan who blocked my path!"

"So, you wanted to kill so many villagers, force the State Preceptor out, have Lan Fan as the State Preceptor, then together with Lan Fan, force the Emperor to abdicate?"

"This Jiangshan rightfully belongs to me! The whole realm is this king’s!"

"It’s all this king’s! It’s all mine! All mine! They... they only facilitate this king! If I become Emperor, in the future, they are all heroes, they’re all heroes..."

"But you killed them, does being a hero have any meaning? You killed all your heroes!"

"You even joined forces with Lan Fan, harming the State Preceptor; the State Preceptor got injured, people died in the flood, all of it was your doing!"

"So what if it is? They’re all heroes, all heroes..."

King Yu was already incoherent.

Chu Minghao’s approach felt as if it carried a kind of magic, that distinct aura enveloping him completely.

King Yu’s head was dizzy, as if he couldn’t recall anything, yet everything seemed increasingly clear.

Those bodies, the flood, wailing, eyes bursting with despair...

"Don’t... don’t come over! Don’t come over!"

"You are all heroes! All heroes! When this king becomes Emperor, you will all be heroes, you died deservedly, you are all heroes! All heroes..."
