The Leader briefly suppressed the noise in the Defense Hall, but when he began the voting for the trial, the chaos only intensified. A group of beings not belonging to the ordinary world filled the hall, chattering like a bustling marketplace.
"This doesn't need a vote; just kill him!"
Suddenly, a particularly loud voice cut through the crowd. It was the Gray Robed Daoist from Maoshan Dao, who jumped up and shouted, "Three charges! Every time this person defends himself, it's utterly unconvincing. With witnesses present, he still insists on his innocence and creates a ruckus in this sacred Defense Hall! Everyone here is clear-headed; no one is a fool. Today, there is no way this person can escape punishment. He must be executed and his body torn to pieces! Otherwise, justice cannot be served!"
After finishing, he instinctively glanced at the Dong Family Head, who was grinning ear to ear, nodding vigorously in satisfaction.
Dong Ba was also standing nearby, grinning ominously.
Seeing the ecstatic expressions of the two from the Dong Family, the clamor grew even louder.
Some members of the Southern Guardian even jumped in to speak: "The Ghost Corpse is too vicious; all those that have appeared before have caused great harm to the Yin-Yang Balance. This one is no exception; its words are reckless and dangerous! It must be eradicated! As for that Spirit Ghost, it cannot be spared either! The Ge Family raises such a malevolent creature; their intentions are suspect. I suggest we execute it!"
"The Xia Family must be eliminated for peace to prevail!"
A Corpse Driver sneered and said, "However, we can keep that Spirit Ghost. We know too little about Spirit Ghosts; this could be an opportunity for research. With experience gained from this, we will know how to handle similar situations in the future!"
"Exactly!"
Another Corpse Driver chimed in eagerly, "I am not talented but have done considerable research on corpse ghosts. I can take on this task. If we detain that Spirit Ghost and let me study it, I will report all findings accurately to the organization!"
As this Corpse Driver looked at the Spirit Ghost, his eyes were filled with greed. I could guess what he intended without needing to see it clearly!
Rage burned fiercely within me; Killing Intent began to churn inside my body. After all, I was still a man—how could I endure such humiliation?
"Xia Ji!"
Wan tightly grasped my hand, her voice resonating in my heart: "It's just barking dogs. Why should you care about their yapping? How can you achieve great things or confront the Sun and Moon Alliance if you let such trivial matters bother you? Wait patiently for your moment! If you dare draw your blade, I will be the first to stand in front of you!"
My eyelids twitched violently as I instinctively glanced at Wan. She looked serious, even leaning slightly forward to press against my Hundred Slicing Blade while gripping my hand tightly. If I drew my sword now, I would likely end up harming her in the process!
She is forcing me to become a Rogue Hero who must Endure Humiliation and Carry the Burden!
I gasped for breath, coldly observing the ugly faces of those in the Defense Hall, committing each one to memory.
As long as I still draw breath, none of these people will escape alive. No, I will ensure that their entire clan is exterminated!
Family should not be harmed; that is the rule. You have harmed my family, so from now on, as long as I live, I will make your lives a living hell!
"Enough!"
At that moment, the Leader suddenly stood up and said, "I've heard everyone's opinions. You all favor execution, correct?"
"Kill them!"
"Not killing them would be an injustice!"
The atmosphere in the Defense Hall was charged with anger, as if I were some heinous demon.
The Leader raised his hand to quiet everyone down. Once they settled, he adopted a sympathetic expression and slowly said, "However, the Xia Family has been loyal for generations. For hundreds of years, countless members of the Xia Family have died fighting for the Sun and Moon Alliance. Even if Xia Ji has committed many wrongs, his ancestors' merits can somewhat offset this! Otherwise, if we execute the descendants of a hero, how will those Necromancers in Southeast Asia view us? Don't you all understand this principle? It would tarnish our organization's reputation! Moreover, this Spirit Ghost has been cooperating throughout the interrogation and even requested leniency for Xia Ji. I believe that alone warrants consideration!"
The people in the Defense Hall fell silent.
I noticed that the fat man from the Dong Family frowned slightly; clearly, the Leader's stance differed from what they had previously discussed.
However, I do not believe this Leader has good intentions!
This person is deeply scheming; who knows what kind of tricks he is brewing!
"I have a plan; everyone, listen up."
The Leader scanned the room, seemingly seeking input, but he didn't care whether anyone agreed or not. He continued, "The descendant of the Xia Family, Xia Ji, will be spared for the sake of his ancestors' virtue. However, he must sever his tendons and abandon his cultivation, never to return to this line of work. After all, he has some savings from these years; he can go back and live as a wealthy man, enjoying life. In this world, having money means having a wife. Let him marry a Yang Person to continue the Xia Family bloodline. We would have done our duty! As for the Ghost Corpse, it will be detained for now; we will observe its future behavior before making any decisions! The Spirit Ghost can leave on its own, and as for that Furball beast, being young and ignorant with no evil deeds, it can continue to serve in the organization! Remember, the heavens have a virtue of preserving life; if we can avoid taking lives, we should do so!"
What a hypocrite!
As I listened, my eyes twitched violently. This was clearly a plan to divide and conquer!
We huddled together; if they wanted to execute us, we would fight to the death. After all, they hadn't stripped us of our ability to defend ourselves. At that point, the Sun and Moon Alliance would suffer losses!
Now, the Leader aimed to boil us like frogs in warm water—by not killing anyone outright, he thought we wouldn't resist.
Then he would separate us for handling; as long as we agreed, those who needed to be imprisoned would be imprisoned, and those who needed to be eliminated would be eliminated. Let's see how we could stick together then!
This was a way to kill without bloodshed!
I dared to think that once we were separated, none of us would survive!
Dong Ba and the Dong Family Head weren't fools either; they were both schemers who understood immediately. Initially dissatisfied with the Leader, smiles returned to their faces. The Dong Family Head stood up straight and bowed slightly. "Master is wise! What a great saying about the heavens having a virtue of preserving life! It has awakened us; we have fallen into a lowly position. I agree with your view!"
Once one person spoke up, the rest quickly followed suit in agreement.
Only then did the Leader turn his gaze toward me. "Xia Ji, do you agree with this judgment? I have known your Xia Family for some time; today, this is all I can do for you!"
What hypocrisy!
I couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"I agree!"
Unexpectedly, the bowl spoke first, a smile on its face as it softly said, "If we can live, no one wants to die! Even if Xia Ji disagrees, I agree!"
Was this a performance of "birds of a feather flock together, but in times of trouble, they fly apart"?
No sooner had the bowl spoken than a smile appeared on Leader's face, and he actually believed the bowl! But thinking about it, in the eyes of schemers like them, everything in the world was tainted; there was no such thing as love that transcended life and death. So the bowl's act was exactly to their liking!
"Then let's go to the Discipline Hall!"
With a wave of his hand, Leader stood up from his seat and prepared to leave. Just then, without any warning, the head of Dong Family, who had been so pleased with himself just moments ago, suddenly exploded like a rotten watermelon!
It all happened so abruptly and silently; Dong Family Head's head burst open, sending the Spirit Cap flying. Almost all that remained was his chin still attached to his neck!
This was clearly an assassination!!
It was Lu Jianguo! Lu Jianguo had struck!
With the sniper threat eliminated, an opportunity arose!
The anger I had been suppressing finally erupted at that moment. I pulled the bowl behind me with my left hand and drew out the Azure Dark Sword with a loud clang, shouting, "I refuse to accept your judgment! Kill them all! No matter young or old, everyone must die! One kill breaks even; two is profit!"
