C2240 There's Someone up There
Today was especially lively, as it was the fifth day since their plan to fortify the wall and clear away the wilderness.
The Monarch Immortal s of the various cities in Tianhai County had arrived early in the morning and had posted notices everywhere.
"Bro, then what's written on the announcement? I can't read. "
"It says that there will be a good show to see today in Tianhai County's Tianhai City."
"What good show?"
"Hehe, you'll know once we get there ?"
"Hiss ?" Is this announcement true? Those two fell off their horses? " Some people were amazed and felt that this was inconceivable. To them, these people were all important figures.
"Is it true? Can't we just go to Skysea City and take a look?"
In Tianhai County, in the largest Divine City, Tianhai City.
Almost all the cultivators in Tianhai County had rushed over upon hearing the news. At noon, they surrounded the central plaza of Skysea City so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.
In the center of the plaza, a high platform had been set up.
On the platform, there was a guillotine. The head of the guillotine was pulled up by an iron chain and tied to the stone pillar next to the execution platform.
That guillotine blade was shiny and shiny. One could tell from one look that it was used frequently and was often sharpened by people, making it very sharp.
There was a curtain on the high platform, and behind the curtain, Chenyuan and Lin Su, who were tied up with immortal bindings, were currently shivering in fear under the cold gazes of Phoenix Lengxue and Leng Guang.
Leng Guang had received the news from the Overwatch Department yesterday and had rushed there overnight. Currently, he was in the Discipline Hall and the Ancestor Pavilion decreed that for those above Pavilion Master, there must be both the Discipline Hall and the Overwatch Department present.
If the wrong person was killed, both departments would be punished afterwards, so this was a very serious matter.
As for Chenyuan and Lin Su ?
The two of them were so scared that they were on the verge of tears. Hearing the commotion outside, they naturally knew where they were.
This was the Supreme Monarch Pavilion, the Immortal-slaying Platform of the Heavenly Sea County's branch. Although that guillotine blade was not a Immortal Beheading Knife of the General Pavilion, it was still capable of slaying immortals.
As the branch pavilion's Pavilion Master s and vice Pavilion Master s, Chenyuan and Chenyuan had personally carried out this punishment here before. Unexpectedly, they were also tied up with immortal chains and taken into custody here.
Last night was simply too joyful, or should it be said it was because they were frightened. Phoenix Lengxue's arrival had caught both Lin Su and Lin Su off guard.
They hadn't even received any news yet as Phoenix Lengxue had directly used her routine inspections as a reason to search the branch pavilion and find the secret plane that was piled high like a mountain.
There was no need to talk about what happened next. Chenyuan and Lin Su tried to escape, but facing Phoenix Lengxue who was in Immortal King, the two True Immortals could not even raise the slightest bit of trouble, and were captured on the spot.
After half a night of interrogation, as well as investigating their memories of the Primordial Spirit, Chenyuan and Lin Su's crimes were confirmed. He even wanted to kill them to keep their mouths shut.
All sorts of crimes were unforgivable to the Venerable Emperor. Phoenix Lengxue sentenced the two of them to death on the spot, and immediately called for the cold light of the General Pavilion.
Early in the morning, Leng Guang rushed over with the people from the Discipline Hall. After a second interrogation, he was infuriated.
Once the verdict was decided, today would be the day of execution!
During an emergency period, there was no need to escort him back to General Pavilion. In any case, they had been caught red-handed, and the information on the Phantom Ethereal Stone Formation Plate was evidence of that.
"Time's up. Men, take him in!" Leng Guang ordered the two deacons standing beside him.
The two True Immortals stepped forward, each carrying one of them like they were carrying chicks. Then, they lifted them up and prepared to walk to the execution platform.
"Wait!" Chenyuan still had some guts, and wasn't scared to the point that he couldn't speak properly.
On the other hand, Lin Su had long since lost the imposing manner of the crowd in the pavilion, and was cowering in a ball of terror.
"Any last words?" Phoenix Lengxue asked indifferently, looking at her subordinates in the Overwatch Council and said, "Record them all."
"Yes sir!" The goddess nodded her head, took out a pen and paper and lightly glanced at Chenyuan.
These words would be recorded and used as evidence in future files. Who knows, someone might reveal some secrets before they die.
Lin Su stared intently at Chenyuan with his dead fish eyes, his face filled with hope.
Lin Su had long fallen into despair, he had placed all his hope on Chenyuan, and hoped that Chenyuan would be able to take out enough chips to buy back their lives.
"Two ?" "Masters!" Chenyuan swallowed his saliva. His mouth was really dry now, because he knew that his head was about to hit the ground.
"What do you want to say? If you miss the perfect time to kill someone, it would be unsuitable for you to kill them." Phoenix Lengxue said coldly.
In a day, when the sun was high in the sky and the sky, it was the most suitable time to kill. If they missed this moment, it would not be a good time to make their move, because killing people was, after all, a crime, and they would be tainted with Evil Profound Beasts.
At around fifteen minutes past noon, it was best to kill someone. At that time, the yang energy of the day would be at its highest peak.
With a "putong" sound, Phoenix Lengxue and Leng Guang were completely defenseless, Chenyuan actually lacked the courage to do so. In front of the people from the Overwatch Council and the Discipline Hall, she kneeled down.
"Please spare our lives!" Chenyuan kowtowed so hard that his head seemed to be on the ground, as if he wanted to smack his forehead until it bled.
However, he had forgotten that he was an Immortal Realm expert. This kowtow caused the ground to crack, and even the skin on his forehead didn't break.
This was very awkward.
Beside Phoenix Lengxue, the female celestial that was in charge of recording started to write and record every word that Chenyuan said. Beside him was a person holding a Phantom Ethereal Stone Formation Plate, recording the image at any time.
These will all be evidence.
"Spare our lives?" "You should have known that you would end up like this the moment you became greedy!"
If you dare to be greedy, then don't be afraid of death.
Everyone had to bear the consequences for every decision they made in their lives. Regardless of whether the decision and the outcome were good or bad.
Moreover, these two people would die if they found out about it. This was not the first time they were using bribery. They already had a criminal record.
Just never found out.
After all, there were too many branches in the Venerable Emperor Pavilion right now. It was impossible for Xiao Guoguo to take the people from the Supervisory Office and go see everyone everywhere.
"Milord, spare us, we don't dare, we really don't dare, let us go ?" We will do our best to report to the two lords! " Lin Su also knelt down and started to kowtow non-stop. He had wet air under his crotch and was scared to the point of peeing.
Even if a person was a cultivator, once they calmed down and lost their iron blood, they would be very afraid of death.
"'The Abstinence Order of the Ancestor Pavilion' and 'Code of Conduct for Cultivators' are written on the wall of the pavilion. Do you want me to recite them to you?" Leng Guang was not easy to speak with. He was a man who would accept death. Right was right, wrong was wrong.
Wrong. You have to be punished, or you'll let down the ones who keep doing the right thing.
"My lords, please spare our lives. I, I am willing to use my entire fortune to exchange for my life!" "Sob, sob ?" Chenyuan began to cry.
Lin Su started to cry too, without any restraint.
However, how could they expect people like them to have so-called festivals?
Phoenix Lengxue sneered, looked at the female immortal who was in charge of writing down records and said: "Add another crime, bribe the Overwatch Council and Discipline Hall ?"2
"Ah?!"
Chenyuan and Lin Su were so scared that they were trembling, how could there be such an unreasonable person!
"And all of his wealth?" A True Immortal from the Discipline Hall sneered. "The crimes you all have committed will cost you your family property. You won't even be able to keep a single low-grade spirit stone, and you still want to bribe Shangguan?"
Chenyuan stared: "No, the pavilion cannot treat us like this, it is our crime, why must we copy away our property?!"
A family's property, was the property of a family. It was the property of the family and his family. Not theirs.
If the family property was plundered, the future generations of the Chen and Lin families would lose their natural resources and become rogue cultivators.
A true Immortal clan was gone just like that.
"Your family did not make any mistakes ? However, what they have now is also the property that you obtained from bribing and usurping. Of course, you have to copy it! " Leng Guang said impatiently, "You talk a lot of crap, pull it up and kill it!"
The two True Immortals from the Discipline Hall immediately grabbed Chenyuan and Lin Su by the chains at their backs, and picked them up.
"No ?" The Venerable Emperor Pavilion cannot treat me like this, I have done hard work for the pavilion before! "How can you kill me just for a mere bribe?!" Chenyuan shouted sinisterly, but behind the scenes, there was an array that blocked his voice from coming out.
Phoenix Lengxue said: "You have contributed greatly in this battle? Did you pacify the darkness, or did you kill the alien Immortal King? "
"I ?" Chenyuan was at a loss for words, when suddenly he thought about it seriously, and realised that he did not have any contribution points worth bragging about.
However, people who held high positions were used to claiming that they had rendered meritorious services. As time passed, he truly believed that he had some confidence.
"Take him out." Leng Guang's face was filled with black lines, thinking to himself, I still haven't said how much I have contributed to Immortal Realm, what nonsense are you going to say if I jump out.
Do you really think that bribery is a small matter and you can't be killed?
Pavilion Master's own blood brother was killed in the General Pavilion because of this crime. It's only been a few decades and he has already forgotten the lesson of his past?
"He's dead for sure ?" Lin Su's face was filled with despair, it had already collapsed, like a cripple with lost spirit.
"No, you can't kill me!" Chenyuan who was being held by the neck, suddenly struggled violently, but was unable to touch the ground.
Under the situation where the Cultivation Level was sealed with immortal chains, it was impossible for him to struggle free from the hands of a True Immortal.
"Be quiet!" The Discipline Hall's True Immortal who carried Chenyuan had long become impatient. He slapped Chenyuan, causing blood to ooze out of the corner of his mouth.
However, Chenyuan did not behave, he stared at the True Immortal who was slapping him, and his tone became calm: "Hmph. Originally, I didn't want to expose myself, but you forced me to do so! "
"Hmm?" Phoenix Lengxue and Leng Guang looked at each other, both of them interested in what Chenyuan had to say, as if he still had some trump cards up his sleeves.
"You can't kill me, listen! Your father is in the General Pavilion, there is someone here! " Chenyuan clenched his teeth, staring at Phoenix Lengxue and Leng Guang.
Phoenix Lengxue and Leng Guang looked at each other, then looked at the person in charge of recording, and said: "It's all marked down, I had my suspicions that no one knew of this person's General Pavilion, despite him being the local tyrant in Tianhai County. Someone must have carried it for him ?"
"Hmph, for a person of such character to be able to become a branch pavilion's Pavilion Master, how did he pass the examination?" Leng Guang sneered, "Presumably, someone must have recommended him. It was someone that even the Pavilion Master trusted, so we were able to exempt him from our examination."
When the silent Lin Su heard Phoenix Lengxue and Leng Guang's words, he seemed to come back to life, his eyes radiating with vitality once more.
"Hall of Light, this..." Should we still kill them? " Hearing Leng Guang's words, the True Immortals holding Lin Su began to panic.
Someone who could speak to the Pavilion Master directly must be the popular person in front of the Pavilion Master. Could they afford to offend him?
When he thought about how he slapped Chenyuan, this True Immortal couldn't help but feel fear.
