Chapter 114: Cheating People Too Much

  "This matter, let's put it aside for now. I'll ask you again, were the Cao brothers killed by you?"

  The voice of the Lawmaker elder sounded again on the peak of the trial, cold and unfeeling.

  Although it was an inquiring tone, the Guardian Elder's tone had already determined that the Cao brothers were killed by Lin Xi.

  Lin Xi's heart sank completely.

  Before he arrived, the Guardian Elder had already taken the lead and thoroughly believed Long Bingyan's words. Moreover, Lin Xi felt that no matter what he said, this Guardian Elder probably wouldn't listen anyway.

  "The disciple did not know the so-called Cao brothers, and had no grudges against them. I don't know why the elder has such a preconceived notion?"

  Lin Xi's heart turned cold.

  He felt that all refutations would be in vain. The Guardian Elder would never give him the so-called "fair" opportunity.

  "Don't know? Hmph! The Cao brothers accepted a sect mission and were in the Black Dragon Space with you, how could you not know?"

  The old monk said coldly.

  "Do we have to know each other just because we're in the same space?"

  Lin Xi at this time, thoroughly eliminated that lucky mind.

  He had already felt that his previous thoughts about the guardian elder were too naive. The guardian elder was not there to listen to his self-defense, but to step by step force him to admit and then confess his guilt in front of him.

  "How dare you! Is this how you speak in front of your elders?"

  A loud "let go", an invisible force, vast and powerful, like a whip, fiercely lashed at Lin Xi's body.

  Lin Xi hummed and his body shook slightly, then a strand of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His face was also pale as paper.

  Lin Xi remained silent, but his eyes shot out a fierce glare of hatred.

  "Protector Elder...... Is this really the Protector Elder of the Divine Mystic Sect?"

  In Lin Xi's heart, a voice echoed loudly.

  Long Bingyan's mouth curled up in a cold smile as she turned her head and glanced at Li Wuzi.

  Li Wuji immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Elder, I have evidence to prove that the Cao brothers were indeed killed by Lin Xi. He just returned from the Black Dragon Space and didn't have time to hide anything. Search his body and his room, and you will definitely find the Cao brothers' magical instruments and swords!"

  "Good!"

  A single "good" character, decisive and unyielding. Suddenly, a loud crash, the earth shook and the sky changed color, an unimaginable powerful aura burst out from the top of the Cutting Nail Peak.

  This true energy is vast and boundless, covering the sky and enveloping the entire Shenshui Mountain.

  "Hum!"

  In the blink of an eye, the three Fa swords burst forth with a shocking radiance, shooting up from the horizon and flying towards Caide Peak. At the same time, a powerful aura suddenly appeared, like a mad dragon, forcibly charging into Lin Xi's body and suppressing his aura.

  Splash!

  A gleaming sword of law flew out from behind Lin Xi, at the same time, the mid-grade law artifact "Golden Giant Cauldron" within Lin Xi's body was also pulled out by this terrifying power, floating above Lin Xi's head.

  Four-handle law sword, a medium-grade law device, was simultaneously wrapped in true energy and floated above the peak of judgment.

  "Elder, those three treasured swords are actually owned by the Cao brothers!"

  Li Wuji's eyes lit up and he pointed at the other three flying swords in mid-air.

  As soon as Li Wuji's voice fell, a strong sense of oppression burst out and enveloped Lin Xi. The cold, unfeeling voice echoed through the void: "The evidence is conclusive! Lin Xi, don't you still admit your guilt?"

  Life and death!

  Lin Xi also knew that Long Bingyan and others would not make a move this time, but once they did, it would be a thunderbolt, wanting to put him in a dead end. The Cao brothers were indeed killed by him, but these three had tried to kill him first.

  If Lin Xi hadn't coincidentally swallowed the "Lei Gong Dan", his strength would have surged, and he might have still died at the hands of these three people. Now that the three of them had died at his hands, it was also a case of getting what they deserved, and Lin Xi felt no regret in his heart.

  Long Bingyan only mentioned that Lin Xi killed the Cao brothers, but never mentioned that these Cao brothers were sent by himself to kill Lin Xi. This made Lin Xi extremely resentful.

  But the Guardian Elder's partiality made Lin Xi's heart secretly burn with anger. However, he knew that this was absolutely not the time to vent his frustrations.

  "Lin Xi didn't know what crime he had committed, was it just because of these four swords? In the mundane world, a legal sword is hard to find, but that doesn't mean it can't be obtained. There are thousands and millions of such legal swords, how could the elder be certain that these three swords belonged to the Cao brothers?"

  Lin Xi calmly said.

  The corpses of the Cao brothers had long disappeared in the Black Dragon Space, incinerated by fierce flames. Their three artifacts, the Dragon, Tiger and Leopard, had also been self-destructed by Lin Xi to deal with Zhou Kelai.

  At first, in order to prevent Long Bingyan from using this matter to frame him, Lin Xi had long been prepared and even the "Xun Xuan Merit" was memorized before being burned.

  The remaining three handles of the law sword are the ones that cannot be used as evidence at all!

  Lin Xi had read "The Great World of Xian Dao" and knew that the Fa Swords in the world of Xian Dao were actually very ordinary. They were much easier to obtain than various other magical instruments. Moreover, there was no particular grade or rank for them.

  Due to their low level, all magic swords have a fixed and mature specification. In other words, they are all mass-produced goods!

  Long Bingyan and Li Wujie using these three swords to testify against Lin Xi is the least convincing!

  "Elder, please forgive me for speaking out of turn."

  Long Bingyan suddenly stepped forward a few steps: "The Shen Xiao Sect and the Dou Lüe Palace, as well as the Tai Ah Sect, are all major factions in the immortal path. Both sides are orthodox major factions, with honor and shame tied together. This child snatched away the belongings of another sect's disciple, damaging the relationship between the Shen Xiao Sect and the Dou Lüe and Tai Ah Sects. This is already a grave sin. Moreover, he saw profit and forgot righteousness, brutally killing the Cao brothers and taking their magical instruments. His methods are truly cruel and ruthless, violating the sect's rules and regulations, making him unworthy of being a Shen Xiao Sect disciple. Furthermore, I have no grudge against him, yet this minor registered disciple dared to frame me with malicious intentions, truly detestable! Such a degenerate is not worthy of being spared, his death would be insufficient to placate the anger of the masses, and his death would be insufficient to correct the views of the people. I request that the elder kill him as a warning to others, to deter those who would follow in his footsteps!"

  Long Bingyan's methods were even more ruthless, directly wanting to execute Guardian Elder and put Lin Xi to death.

  "Long Bingyan!! Are you still shameless, actually wanting to deceive the elder and kill with a borrowed knife?!"

  A furious cry of indignation came from afar.

  It was actually Yuangong Yaosheng from afar. She and Qinglian Holy Maiden stood together, floating in the air, unable to bear it, and shouted angrily from a distance.

  "Terrible!!"

  Qinglian Holy Girl's heart skipped a beat, secretly cursing her bad luck. What is Caidie Peak, where can others intervene?

  "Huh?"

  As expected, a furious voice came from the Decree Hall: "Which disciple dares to be so presumptuous?! Slap in the face!"

  A terrifying aura burst out of the Judgment Hall, and Yu Fang's mournful cry was heard as she flew out from the small blue boat that was floating in mid-air, like a kite with its string cut, disappearing into thin air in an instant.

  The Guardian Elder struck out with incredible speed, even Qinglian Holy Maiden couldn't react in time!

  Qinglian Holy Maiden's heart was shocked, she took a glance at Lin Xi and then looked in the direction where Shangguan Yuxue had flown out. She gritted her teeth and suddenly turned around to chase after Shangguan Yuxue's disappearing figure.

  "Jade Snow! ——"

  Lin Xi was shocked and angry, and suddenly stood up from the ground.

  When the Guardian Elder struck Ouyang Yaxue flying, Lin Xi's last bit of respect disappeared.

  He suddenly stood up from the ground, glaring at Long Bingyan: "Long Bingyan, you sinister and despicable woman! Don't put on that high-and-mighty, unrelated expression. Your Dragon World family wanted to invade the Five Thunder Sect, but I ruined it! You're still resentful in your heart, not content with harming my aunt, now you want to harm me too. During the Immortal Dao assessment, you even sent a high-level cultivator to infiltrate and hunt down me and Yaoxue. Now you're trying to kill me by borrowing someone else's knife, using Elder Baohu's hand to deal with me!"

  "Is this how you make judgments, Elder? The disciples of the two factions, Chui and Tai, want to harm me and take my artifact. This matter can be testified by Jian Yangbai of the Beidou Palace. These three law swords are nothing but a trivial matter. You have no evidence, yet you believe Long Bingyan's one-sided words and determine that I killed my fellow disciples. You don't listen to a word I say, but you listen to every word Long Bingyan says! Is this how you uphold justice as an elder?"

  Lin Xi's heart was burning with anger. What can be tolerated, what cannot be tolerated? Unbearable, no need to tolerate anymore!

  "Shut up!"

  A loud roar shook the nine heavens, and endless pressure came from all sides: "What is Ice Yan's status! You are just a small named disciple, yet you dare to falsely accuse the Holy Maiden of our sect, this is simply lawless!"

  "Elder."

  Long Bingyan glanced at Lin Xi, his eyes calm and composed, but with a hint of arrogance: "The disciple doesn't know anything about the Five Thunder Sect. The affairs of the Long family are all handled by people below. The disciple has never interfered, and as for what he said, the disciple doesn't know whether it's true or false. Moreover, a small secular sect like this, I really don't know what's worth my attention. However, since he said so, the disciple will definitely investigate when he returns. If it's true, he will be severely punished and won't be let off lightly!"

  Long Bingyan said a few words and cleared herself of all blame. She looked like she was handling the matter impartially, without any personal bias.

  "Bingyan, you're too lenient on him. But looking at his appearance, he probably won't appreciate it either. He's really unrepentant until death. — Lin Xi, aren't you dissatisfied? Fine! I'll make you completely despair!"

  The old monk Fa said loudly.

  Buzz!

  In the depths of Mount Shenyue, a mountain peak suddenly shook. A cry of surprise pierced the air. Then, a red figure was captured by the true energy and appeared out of thin air on the Peak of Judgment.

  Her body was bound by layers of true energy, suspended in mid-air before Lin Xi, unable to move.

  "Camilla!"

  Lin Xi was shocked. The figure brought by the Guardian Elder was actually the Vampire Queen Camilla.

  "Master!"

  Camilla's shirt was disheveled and her face was full of panic. Seeing Lin Xi also looked very surprised.

  She had no idea what was happening and was taken to the Judgment Peak.

  "Lin Xi, you are corrupt and decadent, indulging in the company of blood-sucking female demons. You have utterly disgraced the reputation of all Daoist disciples! What more is there to say?"

  The voice of the Law Enforcement Elder was cold and stern: "Vampire Queen, you are a demon from another tribe, not human. Now I give you an opportunity, as long as you testify against Lin Xi, the murder of the Cao brothers. I will remove the ancestral contract from your body and return your freedom!" Furthermore, I can even consider giving you a Bloodline Dan medicine after returning your freedom, making your strength even stronger. You can also return to space and continue to rule your tribe! But if you have one word that is not true, this seat will make you disappear forever, never to be reborn!
