"Execute Su Mo as a warning to others!"
Duan Jingtian's cold voice resounded throughout the hall.
Hearing Duan Jingtian's words, all the Inner Disciples outside the hall burst into laughter.
Su Mo was finally going to pay for what he had done!
"Haha! I was right, wasn't I? Su Mo must pay with his life! "
"He deserves to die!"
"After Su Mo is executed, we'll ask Senior Brother Duan to take back our storage pouches!"
"Hehe, Su Mo has robbed a lot of storage pouches. Maybe we'll get a few more!"
The disciples were talking about it, and some of them were even eyeing Su Mo's storage pouches.
Meng Han, the invigilating elder, also sneered. There was no doubt that Su Mo was going to die.
In the hall, Su Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at Duan Jingtian.
"This trial is really simple. He's sentenced to death without asking me anything or listening to my explanation?"
"I don't accept it!"
Su Mo suddenly shouted coldly.
Su Mo's words silenced the crowd, and they all looked at him with interest.
Many people shook their heads. "Even if you want to struggle, it's useless!"
Duan Jingtian stared at Su Mo and said indifferently, "Su Mo, you've committed a heinous crime. Do you still want to quibble?"
Duan Jingtian's words directly proved that Su Mo had committed a heinous crime.
"Duan Jingtian, you tried to convict me and sentence me to death, but you didn't listen to me. I just opened my mouth, and you said I'm quibbling. Are you going to convict me regardless of whether I'm guilty or not?"
Su Mo sneered and asked.
"How dare you! Do you still not plead guilty? "
Duan Jingtian shouted coldly. He did not expect Su Mo to be so sharp-tongued.
"Plead guilty?"
Su Mo sneered, looked at Duan Jingtian, and asked loudly, "What crime did I commit?"
Duan Jingtian said coldly with no expression, "You killed more than 600 Inner Disciples. Isn't that a capital crime?"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Duan Jingtian's words, Su Mo suddenly burst into laughter. Then, he looked around at the elders and said loudly, "I have three questions for you. If you think I've done something wrong, I'll admit my guilt!"
Duan Jingtian sneered. "How dare Su Mo quibble at this moment!"
"Ask away!"
Duan Jingtian said. He wanted to see how Su Mo would quibble.
"First question, killing is prohibited in Qinghua Rift. Is it wrong for me to kill someone in there?"
Su Mo stood proudly in the middle of the hall and asked loudly in a sonorous voice.
"No mistake!"
As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, someone answered. It was the Second Elder who had never expressed his opinion.
The Second Elder was tall and had a square face. He looked quite dignified.
"The second question is, it is allowed to rob each other in Qinghua Cave. Is it wrong for me to rob everyone's storage pouch?"
Su Mo asked with a grin.
"No mistake!"
It was still the Second Elder who answered.
Su Mo did not stop and asked again, "More than 600 Inner Disciples of the Sky Alliance threatened to kill me before the trial test. They even besieged me in Qinghua Rift. Is it wrong for me to kill them in self-defense?"
Su Mo's voice became louder and louder, and he almost roared the last sentence.
"No mistake!"
The Second Elder answered with an inexplicable smile on his face.
Su Mo smiled at the Second Elder and then turned to Duan Jingtian. He asked loudly, "Duan Jingtian, since I did nothing wrong, what crime did I commit?"
Duan Jingtian frowned slightly. Su Mo's three questions all pointed to the key points, so Su Mo was indeed not guilty.
However, Su Mo had killed more than 600 of his subordinates. How could he let Su Mo go?
"Su Mo, although what you did seems to be innocent, you killed more than half of the Inner Disciples and caused great losses to Gale Island. This is a crime! An unforgivable crime! "
Duan Jingtian still insisted on convicting Su Mo.
"Haha! Everything I did was not wrong, yet you still want to convict me! "
Su Mo laughed, and then his face turned cold. He suddenly shouted, "Duan Jingtian, I want to ask you, why do you convict me? You're just a disciple. Do you really think you're the owner of the island? "
Su Mo's words turned into rolling sound waves, which reverberated in all directions.
Many people were shocked by Su Mo's words. Su Mo was questioning Duan Jingtian directly! How dare he!
But some people, such as the Second Elder, smiled.
Duan Jingtian's face darkened, and a trace of haze flashed in his eyes.
"Su Mo, no matter how you quibble, you can't escape death!"
Duan Jingtian's killing desire rose in his heart. Then, he turned to the Fifth Elder and said, "Fifth Elder, you're in charge of the punishment in Gale Island. You can arrange the execution!"
Duan Jingtian had lost his patience. He did not want to hear Su Mo's explanation and wanted to execute the execution immediately.
The Fifth Elder, a short elder, stood up and said, "Then I'll kill him myself!"
Then, the Fifth Elder was ready to strike.
At this moment, Su Mo's heart sank, and his hair stood on end.
"Wait, I object!"
Just then, the Second Elder spoke again.
Everyone was stunned, including Duan Jingtian. Then, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, he looked at the Second Elder and said, "Second Elder, why do you object?
The Second Elder said, "No matter what Su Mo has done, he's not guilty, so I object to his execution!"
"Me too!"
"I agree with the Second Elder!"
"Me too!"
As soon as the Second Elder finished speaking, another three Elders spoke up. They were the Fourth Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Ninth Elder.
Duan Jingtian's face darkened. These people really came out to stir up trouble. However, Duan Jingtian was not worried, because he had an absolute advantage!
Half of the 10 elders in the Elder Group belonged to the faction of the island owner, so they naturally supported Duan Jingtian.
However, the Second Elder and the others belonged to another faction, which was against the faction of the island owner. They belonged to the Highest Elder's faction.
Duan Jingtian thought for a while and said flatly, "Since the Second Elder, the Fourth Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Ninth Elder disagree, let's vote! The minority obeys the majority! "
The Second Elder sighed inwardly. If they voted, they would definitely lose.
Duan Jingtian had the support of the First Elder, the Third Elder, and the other four elders. Together with Duan Jingtian himself, they had six votes.
On the other hand, they only had four people and four votes. Even if the neutral Seventh Elder stood on their side, they would definitely lose.
The Second Elder was helpless, but he did not have to save Su Mo. He just saw that Su Mo was a genius and had a grudge against Duan Jingtian. If he could save Su Mo and win him over, he would benefit the Highest Elder's faction in the future!
The result of the vote was seven to four. The neutral Seventh Elder also stood on Duan Jingtian's side.
Duan Jingtian chuckled and announced, "The minority obeys the majority. Fifth Elder, execute the law now …"
When Duan Jingtian was about to order the Fifth Elder to execute the law, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Su Mo is not guilty. I'm taking him away!"
The voice was cold but overbearing, implying that no one could refuse it.
The elders' faces changed when they heard the voice.
Duan Jingtian's face darkened completely at this moment.
