From an ordinary boy to a legendary god

Chapter 240: The Dilemma of Being Framed, Searching for Evidence

Lin Feng and others were imprisoned in a dark and damp cell, feeling heavy and resentful.

Lin Feng leaned against the cold wall, his eyes filled with helplessness and unwillingness: "We were wholeheartedly fighting for Star City, but ended up like this."

Wang Meng's wounds still ached, and he pounded the wall angrily, "How could this Emperor be so indiscriminate? That Dark Messenger is clearly trying to sow discord!"

Zhao Xue sat aside, frowning, trying to think of a solution: "Being angry now will not help. We must find a way to prove our innocence."

Li San paced back and forth in the cell, holding his magic wand tightly in his hand: "But we are imprisoned here, how can we make the Emperor trust us?"

Ling'er's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was trembling: "Is there really no hope for us?"

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the cell.

"Hmph, you traitors, wait for the severe punishment from the Emperor!" A sharp voice sounded. It turned out to be the minister who had opposed them before.

Lin Feng glared at him: "You are talking nonsense, we have never betrayed Xingchen City!"

The minister sneered, "The evidence is irrefutable. You cannot deny it. The Emperor is utterly disappointed in you."

Wang Meng cursed, "You despicable villain, you must have framed us in front of the Emperor!"

The minister remained unmoved: "Whatever you say, you can't escape this time."

After saying this, the minister walked away.

The cell fell into dead silence.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Zhao Xue broke the silence, "We have to find a way to get in touch with the outside world."

Li San stopped and said, "But this cell is heavily guarded. How can we contact them?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment: "Ling'er, do you still remember that palace maid? Maybe she can help us."

Ling'er nodded: "I'll try."

After some effort, Ling'er passed the message to the palace maid through secret channels.

When the palace maid learned of their plight, she became extremely anxious and decided to take the risk of pleading for Lin Feng and the others in front of the Emperor.

"Emperor, Lin Feng and the others are definitely not traitors." The palace maid said while kneeling in front of the emperor.

The Emperor frowned: "Why are you so sure?"

The palace maid told the emperor all the truths she knew.

After hearing this, the emperor fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Lin Feng and others in the cell felt like their days were passing by in a year, and every moment was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

"I wonder if the palace maid can succeed." Ling'er murmured to herself.

Wang Meng clenched his fists: "If it doesn't work, the worst that can happen is we'll just fight!"

Zhao Xue quickly said, "Don't be impulsive. We must trust the palace maid."

Just when they were almost in despair, the cell door suddenly opened.

"The Emperor has ordered a re-examination of your case," said a guard.

A glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of Lin Feng and others...

Lin Feng and others finally got the opportunity to re-examine the case, but they knew that in order to completely clear their grievances, they must find conclusive evidence.

After coming out of the cell, Lin Feng said to everyone with a firm gaze: "This is our only chance, everyone must go all out."

Wang Meng nodded fiercely, "Even if I have to turn Xingchen City upside down, I will find the evidence!"

Zhao Xue frowned slightly, "But we can't act blindly, we need a plan."

Li San thought for a moment, "I think we should start from the battle scene with the Dark Messenger. Maybe we can find some clues."

Ling'er agreed, "Yes, maybe we can find evidence of collusion between the Dark Messenger and those ministers."

Everyone reached a consensus and immediately went to the place where the battle took place.

The scene was in a mess, with traces of fighting everywhere.

"Everyone, look carefully and don't miss any clues." Lin Feng said.

Wang Meng was rummaging through the rubble, muttering, "These damn guys hid the evidence so well."

Zhao Xue carefully observed the surrounding environment, not missing any suspicious places.

Li San cast magic, trying to sense whether there was any residual dark power around him.

Ling'er watched nervously from the side, her hands clenched tightly together.

After a while, Li San suddenly shouted: "I feel the fluctuation of dark power here!"

Everyone rushed over.

"Everyone be careful, there may be danger." Lin Feng warned.

They followed the direction of the wave and found a broken jade pendant.

"This jade pendant looks unusual." Zhao Xue picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

Wang Meng came over and said, "Maybe this is the evidence!"

At this moment, a group of dark shadows suddenly appeared and surrounded them.

"Hand over the jade pendant!" the shadows shouted.

Lin Feng drew his sword and said, "Don't even think about it!"

A fierce battle broke out again.

Wang Meng brandished his battle axe, like a tiger descending from the mountain, "Come on, watch me take care of you all!"

Zhao Xue's sword shuttled through the dark shadows, and her posture was agile.

Li San continuously releases magic to provide support to his teammates.

Ling'er prayed silently for everyone in the back.

Lin Feng fought a desperate battle with the leader of the black shadow.

"You bunch of villains, don't even think about stopping us!" Lin Feng roared.

After a hard fight, the black shadows gradually lost and began to retreat.

"Don't let them run away!" Wang Meng wanted to chase them.

Lin Feng stopped him and said, "Don't chase after a desperate enemy. Let's first see what secrets this jade pendant has."

After returning to their residence, everyone began to study the jade pendant.

Li San discovered through magic that there were some strange symbols engraved on the jade pendant.

"This may be some kind of secret code." Li San said.

Zhao Xue had a flash of inspiration, "Perhaps this is related to the ministers' conspiracy."

Ling'er said worriedly, "But we don't know what these symbols mean yet."

Just when everyone was confused, Lin Feng suddenly thought of someone.

"I know an old man who is proficient in various ancient symbols. Maybe he can decipher it." Lin Feng said.

Everyone decided to go find the old man immediately.

On the way to find the old man, they encountered various obstacles and dangers.

But they never gave up, and they had only one belief in their hearts: to find evidence and clear their grievances.

Finally, they found the old man's residence.

"Please, help us." Lin Feng said sincerely.

The old man looked at them with a deep gaze and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

After the old man's interpretation, the symbols on the jade pendant finally unveiled their mystery...
