Immortal Seven Area had a radius of dozens of miles, divided into upper, middle, and lower layers. There were seventy-six second and third rank sects stationed there, with more than a thousand resident cultivators.
Most of these thousands of cultivators now felt the tyrannical sword intent from the middle layer and were deeply attracted by it.
When they arrived at the middle layer, they saw the dazzling golden light. The sword light of the Western Continent Saint was powerful but not tyrannical. Bathing in it was like being washed by a cold spring, which made people's hair stand on end.
"What kind of sword is this?"
Sword was a weapon of murder. The more gorgeous and dazzling the sword light was, the more dangerous it was. However, what they saw in front of them was quite different from common sense. Soon, some cultivators could not help but be confused.
"Could it be a life-saving sword?"
There were killing swords and life-saving swords in the world. Although the proportion of people who practiced this sword was less than one-tenth of the total number of sword cultivators, there were indeed people who used this kind of weapon as a tool to cure and save people, cut off stubborn diseases, cut off aging … It was just that, although the sword light that spread from the center had no killing intent, it also lacked the generosity and affinity of a life-saving sword.
"You don't have to guess, this is neither a killing sword nor a life-saving sword."
The top rank sects of the Wanxian League all had deep heritage and talented people. Therefore, the knowledgeable cultivators here were naturally not only Supreme Ting Feng. After witnessing Aya's golden sword light, some people also saw the origin of it. They saw an old monk sitting cross-legged in mid-air, and under him was a lotus seat blooming with extraordinary splendor.
He was a master from the Zen school, who had achieved the Golden Arhat Body. He had a long lifespan, extensive knowledge, and was highly respected.
"Zen Master Bei Ku, do you recognize this sword?"
Zen Master Bei Ku said, "This is the Sword of Judgment … I can't believe that there are still people who can use this sword in this world. This poor monk thought that after the Age of Chaos, this sword had been lost for a long time."
"Huh? Sword of Judgment? I'd like to hear the details. "
"It's simple. The so-called Sword of Judgment can be regarded as the strengthening of the Sword of Truth. Everyone is familiar with the Sword of Truth, so this poor monk will not repeat it. "
The cultivators around him secretly nodded.
The so-called Sword of Truth, with one sword strike, could distinguish whether there was guilt in people's heart or not. It was often used to distinguish lies and truth.
However, the Sword of Truth also had many shortcomings. The most important point was that it relied too much on the subjective will of the sword user. For example, a certain person was clearly doing something wrong, but his heart was extremely selfish, and his three views were also extremely distorted. Therefore, he always firmly believed in his own way of doing things. Then, even if the Sword of Truth approached him, he would not be harmed.
Moreover, after cultivating a clear and pure Immortal Heart, it was even easier to hypnotize oneself and strengthen one's willpower. Therefore, for many people with higher cultivation, it was very difficult for the Sword of Truth to have any effect.
"The Sword of Judgment can cut out a person's origin and put them naked under the sword for trial. At that time, no matter how many methods he used, whether it was to deceive himself or deceive others, it would all be useless. Because humans cannot lie to their own source. "
After the Zen Master's explanation, someone quickly thought, Isn't this similar to a soul-searching spell?! Forcibly snatching someone's memories is very vicious. "
Monk Bei Ku said, "It's very different. After soul-searching, the person's soul would be destroyed and could no longer be restored. However, the Sword of Judgment only cuts out the origin in the sword light. After one sword strike, everything would be restored to its original state. Moreover, even if it's soul-searching, there's still the possibility of being deceived, distorting the soul, forging memories, and self-deception … All of these can interfere with the soul-searching. However, the Sword of Judgment can point directly to the origin, which can be called as mysterious and divine. However, if you want to cultivate this sword, in addition to the top attainments in the way of the sword, you also need to have an absolutely fair heart. When the Judge wields the sword, he will also be put in the trial. First, he must pass the trial himself to ensure that this sword strike is not for his own benefit. Only then can he have the qualification to judge others. Otherwise, the backlash of the sword intent would be unspeakably miserable. "
"So that's how it is. I heard that the Knight King is famous for her fairness in the Western Continent. It seems like the rumor is true. Then it's not inconceivable for her to cultivate this sword strike."
"Hey, if that's the case? Doesn't that mean that Supreme Ting Feng clearly has a problem? Just now, the Knight King accused him of stabbing his own people in the back during the Grand Competition. How do you explain that? "
Zen Master Sorrow Bitter shook his head and said, "It's meaningless to guess blindly. The Knight King's Sword of Judgment has come out, we just have to wait and see."
While they were talking, the trial of the Knight King had officially begun.
—
When Supreme Ting Feng regained consciousness, he found himself standing naked in a sea of golden light.
There was neither the main hall of Heavenly Book Building nor the Immortal Seven Area of the City of Immortals. In front of him, Aya stood on the top of a high mountain with her sword. Her eyes were disdainful, as if the sky was overlooking an ant.
"I ask you, do you know your crime?"
Supreme Ting Feng felt that his mind was clear, without any distracting thoughts. All his attention was attracted by Aya's question, and his mind subconsciously thought about it. Then, involuntarily, he gave an answer that he found hard to believe.
"Yes, I know my crime."
Aya asked in a deep voice, "What's your crime?"
Supreme Ting Feng replied somewhat mechanically, "First of all, I created public opinion to kill Senior Red Blood Poison and several other loose cultivators. Using my own network, I published dozens of articles in XX, XX, XX and other publications, claiming that many loose cultivators in Nine Regions were actually not weaker than the elites of the Wanxian League. The strength of those elites was just an illusion created by public opinion, and the loose cultivators lacked a real opportunity to show themselves … At the same time, I also sent people to spread comments around him, such as that the Wanxian League discouraged the loose cultivators from participating in the competition because they didn't want them to win and weaken their own authority … In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of Senior Red Blood Poison and other loose cultivators, so that they would volunteer to fight against Dixian on the stage and die on the spot. "
"Did you know in advance that there would be such a result?"
"I know very well that they are no match for Dixian. If they fight on the stage, they will definitely die. In fact, this is exactly my purpose. Because only when they die can I take this opportunity to attack the current management of the Wanxian League. Not long ago, I just wrote an article and gave it to my maid Mo Xiang to publish anonymously, but it has just been destroyed by her. "
"Why did you attack the management of the Wanxian League?"
"There are many reasons. The main reason is that I hope to use public opinion to build momentum so that I have a chance to rise. Secondly, I hate Wang Lu very much. He is too young and too talented. I am not willing to be instructed by him, so I hope to replace him. "
"Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
"I know that it is likely to lead to civil strife in the Wanxian League and further defeat in the Grand Competition. But even if I lose, it would only be the failure of the Wanxian League in Nine Regions. For me and the Heavenly Book Building, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"Do you have any accomplices?"
"Yes, it is difficult for me to do this kind of thing with my own strength. Therefore, I also contacted the leaders or elders of Red Leaf Valley, Heavenly Thunder Temple, Flowing Cloud School, and other sects, respectively …"
…
Aya's cold trial continued. At the same time, more and more cultivators in the Immortal Seven Area had heard the news, and then listened to the appalling confession of Supreme Ting Feng!
"Is … Is what he just said true?"
"There is no lie under the Sword of Judgment. Moreover, the crimes he confessed are completely consistent, so it should be true … I was wondering why the atmosphere of public opinion during this time is so strange, as if someone is manipulating behind the scenes. I just didn't expect it to be Supreme Ting Feng!"
"Are these people crazy? For their own selfish interests, they can even ignore the outcome of the entire Grand Competition! "
"Alas, I heard that the Heavenly Book Building and the Ten Thousand Arts Sect have a grudge, but I never thought that Supreme Ting Feng would choose such an extreme way to deal with it! Red Leaf Valley, Heavenly Thunder Temple, and Flowing Cloud School are even more blinded by interest! "
As the crowd discussed, they gradually became agitated. During this period of time, in the Grand Competition, the Wanxian League had more losses than wins. Thus, it was inevitable for everyone to suppress their anger. Now that Supreme Ting Feng's crime was exposed to the world, he soon became the target of public criticism.
"This person deserves to be cut into pieces!"
"I think we should abolish his cultivation base and take out his primordial spirit and body to refine magical treasure."
"Alas, if he really got into trouble, it would be useless even if we skin him alive! Fortunately, Daoist Master Wang Lu has long been aware of this and let the Knight King use the Sword of Judgment to find out the truth. "
"Yes, if it weren't for the timely action of the Knight King, I'm afraid we would all be deceived by him. When the time comes, it would lead to a bad result, and each of us would have to bear the blame …"
Just as the public opinion gradually turned to one side, Aya's trial finally came to an end.
Supreme Ting Feng's crime was clear to the world, and his accomplices were also confessed one by one. Next, there was no need for the Sword of Judgment, the Wanxian League had its own means to deal with it.
This operation of crushing the enemy was already a complete victory.
Thus, Aya asked the last question.
"… In addition to the above, what other crimes do you have?"
Supreme Ting Feng was silent for a moment, as if his original source was extremely resistant to saying this answer. However, under the Sword of Judgment, there was no lie, and there was no concealment.
"During the period of alliance, I committed adultery with the Madam of Flowing Cloud School, the Sixth Elder of Red Leaf Valley, and others."
At this moment, as the judge, Aya, who should be impartial and impartial, could not help but tremble the corner of her mouth.
After Supreme Ting Feng said this, he simply threw away the broken jar.
"In fact, not only during this period of action … in the past hundred years, I have committed adultery with more than a thousand female cultivators — most of them had their own fixed cultivation companion, but I liked this kind of married woman the most, and I enjoyed it as sweet as syrup. As if this was the only way to prove my identity and status … "
"…"
"I have also made a move on handsome male cultivators, but soon because I got tired of playing tricks, I abandoned them. One of them, because he was hurt by love, died in a closed-door training. "
"…"
"In addition, I also committed adultery …"
"Enough! No need to say anymore! The trial ends here! "
Aya's cheeks were red, and she fiercely waved her hand to collect the sword light in the sky. Then she turned around and left, like a defeated general who had thrown away his helmet and armor.
