Soon, Ye Lingfeng entered with more than twenty thousand Heavenly Dragon warriors. The hall was indeed large; even with more than twenty thousand people entering, it still didn't feel overly crowded.
When Ye Lingfeng saw Long Chen, his eyes glowed green, looking terrifying, as if he wanted to bite Long Chen to death. The other warriors of the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion also wore expressions of deep grief and hatred.
When Ye Lingfeng walked up to Long Chen and was about to speak, Long Chen stepped forward and slapped loudly:
"How dare you, kneel."
"Smack!"
Long Chen slapped Ye Lingfeng hard across the face, kicking the crook of his leg. Caught off guard, Ye Lingfeng was knocked to his knees by Long Chen's kick.
"Seeing the Chief Judge of the Council, you didn't bow first and instead started pointing fingers at others. That's disrespectful to the Judge. Damn it, even I can't stand it. Tell me, are you looking for death?" Long Chen grabbed Ye Lingfeng's hair, bent down, and slapped Ye Lingfeng more than a dozen times in a casual motion.
"Long Chen, Long Chen, stop!" Elder Long shouted loudly.
Seeing this, Shen Chengfeng hurriedly pulled Long Chen and Ye Lingfeng apart, but Ye Lingfeng's face was already swollen like a pig's head.
Damn it, did you think coming here meant you were at your place? That big slap was truly satisfying; Long Chen hadn't felt this sour in a long time.
"Clap clap clap... The
pockmark-faced elder's gavel struck repeatedly, making everyone's eardrums thunder. He shouted sternly, "
Long Chen, what are you doing? Hurting someone without reason in the courtroom! Guards, beat me with a cane and serve me."
"Wait, why should I?" Long Chen questioned.
At this moment, Ye Lingfeng was being pulled up from the ground. He was already stunned by the blow and didn't understand what was happening. His head was buzzing and chaos was everywhere.
He never dreamed that Long Chen would dare hit him here. He had intended to provoke Long Chen on purpose, but before he could even speak, Long Chen was already enraged.
"Sir, you must stand up for me, Long Chen... This is an exaggeration of the people. At this moment, Ye Lingfeng was barely articulating and cried loudly, begging loudly. Unexpectedly, this man's acting was quite good—he cried on the spot, tears streaming down his face.
"Shut up, how can you cry here?" The pockmarked-faced old man didn't indulge him and scolded him.
Ye Lingfeng had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. The whole room fell silent. Everyone looked at Long Chen. The pockmark-faced old man said coldly, "
You actually ask why?" Just because you injured someone in court, I can punish you for that alone. "
Mao's crime—on what grounds? When we came in, you fired firecrackers one by one, making us kneel.
What about them? After he came in, you didn't even fart, he didn't care about you at all. I took action to teach him a lesson. At the very least, it was to uphold the dignity of the divine race and maintain order in the courtroom.
On a larger scale, it is about purifying the world's atmosphere, maintaining world peace, and jointly building a harmonious and civilized world of cultivation. What have I done wrong? Long Chen shouted.
Shen Chengfeng and the other warriors of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion looked at each other. Long Chen was simply a god—not only was his combat power formidable, but his fighting spirit was by no means weak.
Clearly, he just disliked the man, and after hitting him, he could come up with so many grandiose excuses. Yet beating someone up and making it sound so grand, as if he didn't beat Ye Lingfeng up as if it were intolerable.
Elder Long lowered his head, somewhat reluctant to look at Long Chen because he was afraid of laughing out loud. Long Chen's comedic skills were too powerful. The elder beside him had shoulders trembling uncontrollably, clearly unable to control himself.
The pockmark-faced old man trembled with anger: "You... You ... You're talking nonsense. Even if you want to maintain order in the courtroom, that's the law enforcement disciple's job. It's not your place to overstep your bounds. Someone, give me ...."
"What I'm giving you, everything to you, everything to you, the whole world is yours now. Can anyone else live?"
I hit him because I had an open reason. Everyone saw it. As soon as he came in, he wanted to attack me. I was just acting in self-defense. So what? Is justifiable defense also wrong? Long Chen sneered.
"Nonsense. So many eyes are watching here, how come I didn't notice he was going to attack you?" The pockmarked-faced elder shouted angrily.
Long Chen sneered, "You can't see because you're blind. Everyone else saw it too. As soon as he came in, he headed straight for me."
Less than ten feet away from me, if he pointed his finger at me, at that distance, if he attacked, he'd be dead instantly.
Just now, his left foot was in front and his right foot behind, mouth wide open, eyes wide open—clearly the long-lost grinning and deadly finger gesture from the martial world.
At that moment, I felt a sharp killing intent, chilling from the tips of my hair down to the insoles of my feet. Not only the insoles, but even the shoe uppers were cold.
In that instant, driven by self-preservation and the instincts of a practitioner, I launched an attack and stopped his atrocities in time.
Oh no, oh no, what a vicious baring finger and a deadly finger, and it even has a curse ability. I feel dizzy, please hold me up, I can't take it, I'm weak all over, I'm about to fall...
After saying this, Long Chen looked on the verge of collapse. Shen Chengfeng hurried over to support him, and Long Chen even pretended to let out a groan: "That's too vicious. Oh my elbow, oh my hip shaft, oh my lumbar disc, oh no, I'm telling you, this illness won't get better without 500,000 points."
Elder Long, please stand up for me. I was killed by traitors while helping you. This is a work injury, so you have to stand up for me. Seeing
Long Chen feigning illness, the pockmarked-faced old man was so angry that the spots on his face started to jump wildly. He had never met such a shameless person in his life—someone who had hit someone and still tried to extort them. How shameless.
On the scene, whether elders of the Heaven generation or the law enforcement disciples, everyone was stunned. Today, they had truly opened their eyes.
Long Chen pleaded with Elder Long for help. Elder Long wanted to speak several times, but ultimately couldn't speak, because he was afraid that if he did, his expression would burst out laughing. He could only nod to reassure Long Chen.
"Alright, let's end this matter here, Long Chen. The four of us are involved in the Eight Halls of the Trial. We just need to know the truth.
After all, the lives of thousands of soldiers are no small matter. The matter must be thoroughly investigated. We must give the deceased an explanation. Rest assured, I won't let a bad person go, but I will never wrong a good person either.
So, I hope you can cooperate. After all, the Star Domain Divine Realm is about to open, and the dark age is approaching. Time is extremely precious to all of us; wasting time is tantamount to suicide. The
white-haired elder on stage finally spoke. Although his expression was cold and unsmiling, his tone carried no aggressive intent, making it pleasant to listen to.
Long Chen immediately stood up, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Senior, you really are a master. Your words make people feel comfortable, and my problem has improved by more than half. If everyone talked to you like this, everyone could talk things out properly—how harmonious that would be." The
white-haired elder smiled faintly, said nothing, and instead looked at the pockmark-faced elder.
The pockmark-faced old man glanced at Long Chen, then at Ye Lingfeng, who had been beaten like a pig's head. Although he couldn't see his own expression, he knew it would be terribly ugly.
"Ye Lingfeng, let me ask you, why are you heading to the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion's position?" The pockmark-faced old man asked.
"Reporting to Your Lord, we just suffered losses and were eager to make merit, so we were careless and underestimated the enemy, surrounded by demon beasts.
We learned that the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion was attacking the position, and that our trap was not far from the position.
We wanted to tip the Eighth Legion to stop taking the position and hurry up, but who would have thought, Long Chen would ... They repay kindness with ingratitude and deliberately frame us. Ye Lingfeng glared at Long Chen through gritted teeth, looking extremely aggrieved.
Keep making things up, keep making things up, keep making things up. Long Chen sneered coldly and said, "Can you use your brain when lying?" Do you think others are as idiotic as you?
Let me ask you, were you all besieged by demon beasts? Or are they those demon beasts you deliberately lured in? "
We were accidentally besieged by demon beasts." Ye Lingfeng insisted firmly.
"Then let me ask you, what happened to those nine corpse marks on the battlefield? You attacked nine demon beasts, didn't even wipe your butt along the way, leaving behind countless corpses.
Although you cleaned up some of them afterwards, there were still a few left in time. I've already sent someone to record them with the Recording Jade. Come, let me show you what's going on. After
speaking, Long Chen activated a Recording Jade. A panoramic image appeared above the main hall. On the ground, nine long bloodstains resembled nine rivers, finally converging and pointing straight toward the position of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion.
When Ye Lingfeng saw the Recording Jade, his expression changed instantly. Although he had cleaned it up afterwards, how could the battlefield be cleared all at once? The earth was stained red with blood, impossible to hide immediately. In this way, his previous lie was instantly exposed.
"Ye Lingfeng, you have some nerve. If you deliberately provoke demon beasts to harm others for your own selfishness," The pockmark-faced elder shouted loudly.
"This... This ... It's not my fault; Long Chen framed me first. I was forced to fight back. "At this point, Ye Lingfeng could only hold on tightly to Long Chen.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Where's the evidence?" Long Chen asked.
"You..."
Ye Lingfeng was stunned. Long Chen was efficient and efficient, without a hint of hesitation, leaving no evidence behind.
"Your Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion has also violated divine laws. Seeing us in danger, they refuse to lend a helping hand and are still beating drums and setting off firecrackers to celebrate. According to divine law, your leader must also be executed." Ye Lingfeng had already gone mad at this moment; he needed to find a weak spot to bite Long Chen and the others.
Because just attracting monsters and harming people, and having trapped so many soldiers, was a dead end for him. Now, he could only bite Long Chen's weakness, with a sliver of hope for survival.
"Is that true?" The pockmarked-faced elder shouted coldly.
"Everyone in our Third Heavenly Dragon Legion can testify." Ye Lingfeng shouted loudly. The soldiers of the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion all stepped forward to testify—Long Chen and his group had indeed beaten drums and set off firecrackers.
"Long Chen, how do you explain yourself?" The pockmark-faced old man looked at Long Chen, a sharp gleam in his eyes, as if he had found Long Chen's fatal weakness.
"What's there to explain? I said before, this is a newly invented demon-driving method I invented to drive away the beasts and save you." Long Chen said calmly.
"Nonsense, that's simply impossible." The pockmark-faced elder slammed the gavel and shouted sternly.
"Don't believe me?" Alright, let me demonstrate for you, brothers, play music. Long
Chen chuckled, then suddenly waved his hand, and the hundred thousand Heavenly Dragon warriors immediately took out broken gongs and drums and lit the firecrackers.
"Boom boom boom ..."
"Boom boom boom ..."
"Crackling crackle..."
The piercing sonic booms echoed throughout the hall, The entire hall was almost burst by the terrifying sound waves in an instant. People felt the world spinning and their minds in a mess.
