Zong Ganyu stroked his silver beard and said, "Old Man only has one question. With the West Sea Dragon Saint's decree, can Fang Yun be the murderer of the head of the Lei family?"
"The Western Sea Dragon Saint's words are like gold and jade, and his words contain the heavenly law. We should listen to his orders. However, since His Majesty the Western Sea Dragon Saint has said so, there must be evidence. Is there any evidence in the imperial edict?"
Lei Tingzhen said angrily, "The West Sea Dragon Saint is the king of Dragons and the master of the West Sea. Since he issued the decree, it is the best evidence! Elder Gao, are you doubting the West Sea Dragon Saint? "
Gao Mo said, "We are scholars. We can reprimand thousands of demons and suspect Kong Sheng. Why can't we doubt the West Sea Dragon Saint?"
Gao Mo's words made Lei Tingzhen speechless. In fact, the human race had the spirit and tradition of "doubting the ancients". However, everyone was just beating around the bush when it came to Kong Sheng. However, there had always been scholars who reprimanded the predecessor Half-saint. Reprimanding the saints was one of the most important ways for a great scholar to improve.
"The Dragon Saint's decree is almost equivalent to the decree of the human race. Once it is approved by all the saints, the decree will take effect. Elder Gao, I think the Dongsheng Pavilion should handle this matter," Zong Ganyu said.
Gao Mo looked at Zong Ganyu and knew that the Zong family wanted to seize the authority to handle this matter.
Now, only the Punishment Hall and the Dongsheng Pavilion were most likely to get the authority to handle this matter.
Gao Mo was an ordinary old man. He had a stern face and even a little old-fashioned. Many scholars knew that he was just like his name. He was taciturn and swift in his actions. However, at the same time, he was very cautious.
Many people in the Punishment Hall looked at Gao Mo and Zong Ganyu anxiously. At the moment, Gao Mo was the only elder in the Punishment Hall. In terms of talent and Literary Name, Gao Mo and Zong Ganyu were on par. However, in terms of overall status, the elders of the Dongsheng Pavilion were one level higher than the elders of the Punishment Hall. Zong Ganyu was the head of the Half-saint family, so he was one level higher than Gao Mo.
The scariest thing was that Zong Ganyu's visit might have something to do with Zong Sheng. It was impossible for an elder of the Disciplinary Court to go against this mountain.
After a few breaths, Gao Mo slowly raised his head and said, "Xusheng has a noble status and should be dealt with by the four saints of the Notre-Dame. Wen Xing Long Jue has a noble status and should be dealt with by the Dragon Saint of the Four Seas. Neither the Punishment Hall nor the Dongsheng Pavilion has the right to deal with this matter. Elder Zong, what do you think? "
The people from the school of Legalism secretly sighed in relief. As expected of a great scholar, he had pointed out the crux of the matter with a single sentence, which was Fang Yun's identity. Even the West Ocean Dragon Sage had no right to decide the life and death of Wen Xing Long Jue with a single imperial edict.
Zong Ganyu and Lei Tingzhen looked at each other and saw the disgust in each other's eyes towards Gao Mo.
Zong Ganyu glanced at the densely packed Notre-Dame scholars in the square, and a trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes. He then nodded and said, "Indeed, neither the Punishment Hall nor the Dongsheng Pavilion has the right to decide. However, since the Dongsheng Pavilion is the owner of the family's internal affairs, then this case will be handled by the Dongsheng Pavilion."
"Master Zong, you are wrong. If this matter is against the law, then the Punishment Hall should lead the investigation. If it is against etiquette, then the Hall of Rites should lead the investigation. The Dongsheng Pavilion has the right to decide whether the investigation is correct or not, but not the right to investigate. Of course, when it comes to Xusheng, the Four Saints Pavilion should send people to monitor the investigation, "Gao Mo said.
Lei Tingzhen said, "Fang Yun has the Codex and can be considered half a Legalist. He has close ties with the Punishment Hall, so this case should not be investigated by the Punishment Hall. It should be handed over to the Dongsheng Pavilion."
Gao Mo nodded and said, "Pavilion Elder Lei's words are reasonable."
Many people were stunned. Their first thought was that Gao Mo had been secretly colluding with the Zong and Lei Clans.
However, Gao Mo continued, "Everyone knows about the grudge between the Zong Clan and Fang Yun, so this matter should not be handed over to the Dongsheng Pavilion. In my opinion, we should choose one of the other three Saint Pavilions to lead the investigation. Oh, right! "
Gao Mo suddenly kept everyone in suspense. He closed his mouth and calmly glanced at Zong Ganyu and Lei Tingzhen.
Zong Ganyu and Lei Tingzhen's expressions did not change. They were calm as usual.
"Since this matter involves the Dragons, I have already sent a letter to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. I believe we will soon receive news from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace." Gao Mo slowly said.
"You!" Lei Tingzhen was furious.
Gao Mo coldly smiled and said, "You used a foreign imperial edict to persecute Xusheng of the human race. Why can't Old Man use a foreign Half-saint to protect the human race's Virtuous Paragon? Don't be so pitiful as to sound your grievances. Old Man only has one thing to say at this moment. If Fang Xusheng really did kill Lei Zhongmo, then Lei Zhongmo deserved to die! Old Man, I will leave this sentence here. Let's see how your Lei family will overturn this case in the future! "
"Impudent! As a Pavilion Elder of the Punishment Hall, how can you criticize the deceased of the Lei family like this? "Lei Tingzhen's expression changed as his vitality fluctuated.
"Not all deceased people are worthy of respect." Gao Mo coldly said.
"Old Man will definitely go to the Dongsheng Pavilion to report today's matter to you!" Lei Tingzhen's hair and beard were all fluttering. The Lei family members behind him all glared at him with anger.
"No matter, Old Man rarely goes out of his way to become a Notre-Dame. He's not afraid of your Lei family." Gao Mo didn't care at all.
After Gao Mo finished speaking, the faces of the Lei Family members turned purple. A few of the scholars who were watching from afar laughed out loud. They thought to themselves, "Elder Gao is usually a man of few words, but at this moment, his tongue is extremely sharp. He actually dared to mock the Lei Family for assassinating a human in the Illusionary Divine stage. Not many scholars in the world would have the guts to do so.
Gao Mo's appearance made it difficult for the Lei family and the Zong Clan to continue to deal with this matter. Zong Ganyu and Lei Tingzhen could only stay in place and secretly communicate with each other. They also sent letters to the other clans to come up with a plan.
Not fifteen minutes later, a young man wearing a green robe with two small horns on his head came from the distance. He smiled and said while walking: "It's so lively here, is there a happy occasion?"
Everyone followed the voice and saw that it was the Dragon King in Green Robe, Ao Qingyue. He was currently in charge of the East Sea Dragon Palace's communication with the human race. Although he was a Dragon King, his position was higher than some Great Dragon Kings.
Many scholars shook their heads and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ao Qingyue was already an extraordinary figure when he was traveling in the Saint Origin World. Now, he even said that Lei Zhongmo's death was a happy occasion. It was obvious that he supported Fang Yun.
Gao Mo nodded slightly and said: "Qingyue, what's your East Sea Dragon Palace's stance on this matter?"
Ao Qingyue smiled and spat out a green light from his mouth. Then, a green dragon scale flew out. There were crooked Dragons' characters written on it. Vast dragon power rippled around the dragon scale. Everyone could feel the power of the characters, but they didn't feel any pressure.
It was also an imperial edict. Many scholars immediately felt that the imperial edict of the East Sea Dragon Palace was more powerful than the imperial edict of the East Sea Dragon Palace.
The few scholars present smiled strangely when they saw the crooked Dragons' characters. Only a few people knew that the characters written by the East Sea Dragon Sage were ugly. This imperial edict was definitely authentic because no one could write such ugly characters.
Ao Qingyue said: "The East Sea Dragon Palace's stance is written in the imperial edict. His Majesty the East Sea Dragon Sage once sent his divine sense to the battlefield between Fang Xusheng and Lei Zhongmo. It was Lei Zhongmo who wanted to kill Fang Xusheng, and Fang Xusheng retaliated in anger. This matter wasn't Wen Xing Long Jue's fault, Fang Yun's. It was the Lei family who wanted to kill Fang Xusheng. Therefore, from today onwards, the East Sea Dragon Sage will cut off all ties with the Lei family and begin to track down the culprit behind this case! "
