"Hmph, so you've already colluded with each other to kill a disciple of my Soul Gate."
"Since that's the case, then there's no need to waste any more words. I only have one thing to say. If you want to capture Xing Jue, you'll have to go through me, Su Can!"
As Su Can spoke, the aura of a high-rank Asura War Emperor was released. His sharp gaze swept the surroundings, as if he was looking for a direction to lead Xing Jue to escape.
At this moment, the elders and disciples present were extremely nervous. They could tell from Su Can's unyielding attitude that he would not hand over Xing Jue no matter what.
However, not only did the people from the Punishment Department appear, even the person in charge of the Punishment Department, Dongfang Lingyu, had personally appeared. It could be seen that a battle was unavoidable.
"Su Can, I advise you to calm down. Although Xia Zhong died because of Xing Jue, he did not mean to kill him."
"Xing Jue will definitely be punished, but it won't be to the extent of taking his life. According to the laws of the Sacred Alliance, he only needs to be sent here for a year. If his performance is good, he can be sent back earlier and continue living his current life."
"With Xing Jue's talent, his future will definitely be very bright under the nurturing of the Sacred Alliance."
"However, Su Can, if you insist on ignoring the law because of this matter and insist on fighting to the death with us, you won't only be destroying yourself, but also Xing Jue!"
"Don't think that you can fight against the entire Sacred Alliance just because you've cultivated to a high-rank Asura War Emperor."
"You'll pay the price for underestimating the power of the Sacred Alliance!"
Dongfang Lingyu's pitch-black eyes were terrifyingly deep. As the person in charge of the Punishment Department and the person in charge of life and death in the Sacred Alliance, he actually did not get angry at this moment.
However, the more he acted like this, the more uneasy Xing Jue felt. It could be seen that this person was very shrewd and could not be underestimated.
Moreover, the most important thing was that Dongfang Lingyu clearly knew of Xing Jue's identity.
"Banished to the bottom of the prison? That is a place where serious criminals are locked up. Not to mention a year, even being locked up for a month would cause a mental breakdown. What's the difference between letting Xing Jue stay in that place for a year and killing him? "
Hearing Dongfang Lingyu's words, Elder Su Can's emotions did not ease. Instead, he became even more agitated.
"Su Can, I'm only advising you out of goodwill because of our past relationship, but don't think that I'm afraid of you."
"There are strong and weak Asura Battle Emperors. I alone am more than enough to deal with you!"
Suddenly, Dongfang Lingyu's forehead twitched, and a formless aura swept toward Su Can and the others.
Buzz!
At this moment, not to mention Su Can's clothes violently fluttering, even Xing Jue and Li Xiaohan, who were within the defensive barrier, felt a bone-piercing chill.
The chill disappeared in a flash, but it made Xing Jue feel extremely uneasy.
Especially when he looked around and saw that the spectators were all safe and sound, the uneasiness in Xing Jue became even more intense.
The deterrence was not only directed at Elder Su Can, but also at the three of them. Dongfang Lingyu's strength was even above Elder Su Can's.
"Dongfang Lingyu, do you think this old man is afraid of you? If you have the ability, then try and stop me! "
Seeing that Dongfang Lingyu had secretly attacked him, Su Can, who was already furious, completely exploded. The aura of a high-level Asura Battle Emperor was released without holding anything back.
In an instant, the world began to tremble, and the sun and moon began to dim. The terrifying aura seemed as if it wanted to destroy the world. As he spoke, he was already prepared to attack.
"Brother Su Can, don't act recklessly!"
"Brother Dongfang is right. If you forcefully bring Xing Jue away today, not only will you become the target of everyone, but even Xing Jue will be implicated."
However, just as Su Can was about to attack, the Heaven Pass Pass Lord Baili Yun appeared in front of him and stopped him.
"Baili Yun, the bottom of the Banishment Prison is not a place for people to stay. If you send Xing Jue there, he will definitely be in danger."
"If Fangzheng dies, then why don't I take a gamble here?" Elder Su Can replied.
"Su Can, I know you are worried about Xing Jue's safety, so I can guarantee you that in one year, Xing Jue will return safely!" Just then, Dongfang Lingyu suddenly spoke.
"Brother Dongfang, are you serious?" This time, without waiting for Su Can to speak, the Heaven Pass Pass Lord asked solemnly.
"I, Dongfang Lingyu, have always been a man of my words!" Dongfang Lingyu guaranteed.
"Even if that's the case, one year is too long. When Xing Jue and Xia Zhong fought, I was present. Not to mention that Xia Zhong provoked Xing Jue first, Xing Jue did not intend to kill him at all."
"So I feel that even if Xing Jue is responsible for this matter, he should be given a lighter punishment. Moreover, being sent to the bottom of the Banishment Prison is already the most severe punishment. One year is too long." Seeing that there was room for negotiation, the Heaven Pass Lord once again exonerated Xing Jue.
"Although I, Dongfang Lingyu, enforce the law impartially, since Brother Baili has spoken, and it can be said that Xing Jue is a witness, then I will naturally reduce his punishment."
"How about this, in half a year, as long as Xing Jue can be at ease in the bottom of the Banishment Prison and accept his punishment, I will definitely personally bring him back to the Alliance Residence." Dongfang Lingyu vowed.
"Brother Su Can, since Brother Dongfang has already taken a step back and guaranteed Xing Jue's safety, in my opinion, we shouldn't make a big deal out of this matter." Seeing this, Baili Yun looked at Elder Su Can.
After all, no matter what, Xing Jue was someone from the Soul Gate. Even if Dongfang Lingyu had made such a promise, it was up to Su Can whether he would accept it or not.
"Dongfang Lingyu, I hope that you can keep your word. In half a year, it's fine if Xing Jue can return, but if anything happens to him, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Su Can was not a stupid person. He naturally knew the severity of the matter. Although the bottom of the Banishment Prison was a dangerous place, with Xing Jue's strength, it was not that dangerous.
In addition, the bottom of the Banishment Prison was a desolate world that Xing Jue wanted to go to for training.
So, even if Xing Jue was not arrested by the Punishment Department, he would still go there tomorrow to train.
Now, it was just a different way of training, and he would carry the name of a sinner on his back.
As for why Su Can was so impulsive before, it was because he had deliberately put on a show. If not for him and Baili Yun, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, Xing Jue's punishment would not have been so lenient.
Everything happened so suddenly. Although it was mostly because the Earth Gate Lord harbored hatred in his heart and wanted to frame Xing Jue, under such circumstances, as a small disciple, Xing Jue could only choose to compromise.
But under such circumstances, as a small disciple, Xing Jue could only let the Union Residence deal with him and choose to compromise.
"Brother Xing Jue!"
Looking at Xing Jue, who was about to be taken away by the Punishment Department, Li Xiaohan was emotional. Her beautiful eyes flickered with tears.
"Xiaohan, don't forget what Sister Ying told you. Since I am going to leave this place, I can only leave this matter to you."
"Furthermore, half a year's time will pass very quickly. After so many years, I, Xing Jue, have experienced all sorts of hardships. A mere prison sentence is nothing to be afraid of."
Xing Jue looked at Li Xiaohan with a smile and transmitted the words in his heart to Li Xiaohan.
"Brother Xing Jue, don't worry. Xiaohan will not let you down. I will complete what Sister Ying told me."
"Also, I will definitely get Sister Ying to help us seek justice for those who framed you and wronged you today!" Li Xiaohan held back the tears in her eyes and put on a strong smile.
After saying goodbye, Xing Jue was taken away by the Punishment Department under everyone's complicated gazes.
After the Punishment Department left, only the Earth Gate Lord, Su Can and the others were left in the Sky Gate Lord's group.
"Old man Earth Gate, how despicable. I, Su Can, will remember this debt," Elder Su Can said coldly.
"Since this debt is to be remembered, why not count me in as well!" Just at that time, the Sky Gate Lord Baili Yun also added with a light smile on his face.
Hearing their words, not to mention the Earth Gate's manager elders' faces changed greatly, even the Earth Gate Lord's face paled.
Su Can was one thing, but they never would have thought that even the Heaven Gate Lord would protect Xing Jue in such a manner.
At that moment, it was as if the Heaven Gate and the Soul Gate were going to join hands and become enemies with the Earth Gate. To the Earth Gate, which was originally weaker than the Heaven Gate, it was clearly unfortunate news.
"I'm afraid you two are thinking too much. I will not joke around with the lives of my own family. Since that Xing Jue committed a crime, he should be punished. There is nothing wrong with me reporting this matter to the Punishment Department."
"However, if you hold hatred in your hearts because of this and want to harm my Earth Gate, my Earth Gate is absolutely not afraid of you."
Although he had some misgivings in his heart, for the sake of the Earth Gate's face, the Earth Gate Lord did not compromise. After a cold snort, he led the people of the Earth Gate away.
As for Xing Jue, on the same day, he was brought to the Desolate World by the Punishment Department and began to receive the punishment for killing Xia Zhong.
The Desolate World was originally a dangerous place. Ten thousand years ago, no one was willing to come here and it was seen as a forbidden land.
As for why it was seen as a forbidden land, it was not only because the world was desolate, but also because within this vast world, there was a strange power that made it impossible for those below the Asura Fighting Soul to survive there.
Even those above the Asura Fighting Soul would be troubled by that power. After a long time, their minds and bodies would suffer huge blows. That strange power was known as the Death Power.
That was why the Sacred Region Alliance Palace had spent a great deal of effort to build the Banishment Prison to punish the Elders and disciples who had committed serious crimes. Even those who had offended the Alliance Palace would be sent to the Banishment Prison.
However, this was all on the surface. In reality, the Sacred Region Alliance wanted to use this as a pretext to take over the Desolate World.
This was because many years ago, they had discovered a special power here. It was a type of power that was of great help to one's cultivation and even had a miraculous effect on refining weapons and elixirs.
Because this top-grade power coexisted with the Death Power, the Sacred Region Alliance had internally designated it as the Survival Power.
What the prisoners here had to do was to extract the mysterious Power of Life under the threat of the Power of Death.
