Receiving Lu Li's confirmation, Uncle Li cupped his fists and said calmly, "Commander Yang, we have never harmed our brothers. There was such a thing, but …"
Before Uncle Li could finish, Commander Yang interrupted him. "You admit to this?"
"…"
Uncle Li and Lu Li were speechless. If it were any other situation, they wouldn't bother to explain. After all, words were useless. They could just start the fight.
But Uncle Li knew that he must make it clear this time. They would not give Commander Yang any chance to stir up trouble.
Uncle Li cupped his fists and said, "I did not admit it. On the contrary, Commander Yang, you believed the rumor. It was this man who attracted a Three-star Beast of Chaos. I was going to help him kill it but he ran away.
Another man attracted two Beasts of Chaos. My uncle and nephew knew that we could not win so we ran away. We don't know if the other man is dead or alive! "
"Bullsh * t!"
The warrior who made the false accusation shouted, "It was you and your uncle who attracted three Three-star Beasts of Chaos and ran away. How can you turn the truth upside down?"
Lu Li was angry. This guy was getting ahead of himself.
But Lu Li suppressed his anger on the thought that Commander Yang was doing this on purpose to infuriate them.
Uncle Li did the same. He said with a cold smile, "You can always find a pretext to frame someone.
Have you lost your conscience to the Beasts of Chaos? "
Commander Yang's eyes flickered. He looked at Uncle Li and asked, "Do you have any proof to prove what you said?"
"Proof to hell …"
Lu Li almost burst out into abuse. He couldn't help but ask, "Then do you have any proof to prove that what he said is true or false?
Commander Yang, you cannot just listen to one side of the story. "
"Who do you think you are?"
Commander Yang glared at Lu Li coldly and scolded, "Did I ask you a question?
How dare you question me? Are you courting death? "
"You …"
Lu Li almost lost his temper. Fortunately, he was a man who had been through great storms. He was not an average playboy.
It was clear that Commander Yang was trying to provoke him. If Lu Li dared to be impulsive, he would be playing into Commander Yang's hands.
"Hmm!"
Lu Li sneered to himself. He calmed down and said no more.
Uncle Li was even calmer. He used to be the commander of the Black Flame Hall's Battle Hall and had seen many of these methods.
After a moment of silence, Uncle Li said, "Commander Yang, I'd like to ask something. There should be a Hall of Penal Law and Punishment in Skycloud Mountain, right?
Shouldn't this be handled by the Hall of Beheadings and Executions? "
Commander Yang was taken aback. He didn't expect that Lu Li could keep his composure.
He had seven or eight warriors with him. Lu Li and Uncle Li were not breaking the rules. Uncle Li couldn't do anything in front of the warriors, could he?
With a calm face, he said, "Of course there is. After I've investigated this matter and determined who among you is guilty, I'll report it to the Hall of Penal Law for trial."
"Alright then!"
Uncle Li shrugged and said, "Now that both sides have testified, no one is willing to accept the other. I suggest we report this to the Hall of Punishment and have the Elders there search his soul.
When the time comes, everything will be clear. If it's our fault for framing someone, the Hall of Beheadings and Executions will sentence us to death! "
"Ugh!"
That cultivator, who had been beaten up, started to panic. Once his soul was searched, everything would be exposed. At that time, he would most likely die.
He didn't know how to deal with this. He turned to Commander Yang.
Commander Yang was panicking as well. It was true that he was the mastermind of this. Once he was sent to the Hall of Penal Law and the warrior's soul was searched, his mastermind would be exposed.
Even though he was a commander, the Hall of Penal Law wouldn't let this go. They might kill him right away.
Uncle Li's move was vicious. Not only did it resolve the crisis, but it also made Commander Yang go for wool and come home shorn. One careless move and Commander Yang would be in trouble.
There were still some warriors here. Commander Yang couldn't do anything by force, could he?
There were two commanders on the island. If things got out of hand, there would be no way out.
Seeing that Commander Yang was silent, Li Tian didn't press on. He didn't force Commander Yang to take desperate measures.
Li Tian and Lu Li stood on the side, waiting quietly. If the commander wanted to keep the peace, then the matter would be over.
After a moment of silence, Commander Yang asked the warrior next to him, "Do you have the courage to go to the Hall of Penal Law?"
The warrior was anxious. Commander Yang was asking him to go to the Hall of Penal Law. Wasn't that asking him to die?
The warrior dodged Commander Yang's eyes and said, "Commander, we don't have to take this to the Hall of Penal Law. You can just make a decision on the spot."
"I don't have the right and I will not abuse my power!"
Commander Yang said with righteousness. Then, he looked at the warrior coldly and said, "So, you have a guilty conscience?
Is what they said true? You framed them on purpose?
You harmed them and now you want to put the blame on them? "
"I did not!"
The warrior was in a panic. How come Commander Yang changed his attitude so quickly?
It was Commander Yang who asked him to do this. How come he had to take the blame now?
The warrior said at once, "Commander, don't you know the truth?"
"What do I know?"
Commander Yang said coldly, "I will ask you again. Do you have the courage to go to the Hall of Penal Law and confront me?"
"I …"
Intimidated by Commander Yang's power, the warrior couldn't say a word.
If he said he didn't have the courage, it meant that he had a guilty conscience. If he said he did, he would die for sure.
"How dare you!"
Commander Yang suddenly roared in anger, "How dare you lie to me! You've done something evil, yet you're still trying to frame your fellow disciples! Your crime is unforgivable! I'm going to execute you on the spot!"
"You …"
The warrior's expression changed. He was furious. He was about to curse and expose what Commander Yang had done.
However, at that moment, Commander Yang's hand glowed with a black light. His hand turned into a claw and reached for the warrior's head.
"Ah —"
The warrior didn't have any Primordial Spirit Heaven Treasure armor. Commander Yang's claw had a black aura around it. His head exploded in one move.
"Uh!"
The tables had turned so fast that Lu Li and Uncle Li could not react in time. Seeing the warrior's head exploding and his eyeballs popping out, the two of them felt chills down their spines.
This Commander Yang was decisive in killing and turned his back on them. He killed one of his own without saying a word. He was so cruel.
"Swish!"
The noise alerted people on the island. More than a dozen warriors flew over and arrived in the blink of an eye.
The two commanders saw the headless body and the blood on Commander Yang's hand.
The old Commander Chen frowned and said, "Commander Yang, what are you doing?"
"This man has done evil and now he wants to frame a fellow disciple!"
Commander Yang pointed to the body and said, "He wanted to make use of me. Everyone here can be my witness. This man deserves to die. I will report this to Patriarch Niu later!"
"Is that so?" Commander Chen turned to the other sergeants.
Commander Yang looked over coldly as well. The sergeants felt chills down their spines. They nodded in agreement.
Commander Chen then turned to Li Tian and Lu Li. Li Tian thought for a while and said, "Lord, it is as Commander Yang said. This man put the blame on me and brought the blame on me.
Fortunately, Commander Yang is wise. Otherwise, we, uncle and nephew, would have died unjustly. "
"Even so, we cannot kill indiscriminately. We should report this to the Hall of Penal Law!"
Commander Chen looked at Commander Yang with dissatisfaction and said, "You have killed two people in a row recently. Go and report this to Patriarch Niu yourself."
"I don't need you to remind me!"
Commander Yang said coldly, "I know what I'm doing. I'll bear all the consequences!"
"Hmm!"
Commander Chen left with the others and went back to the island. After they were gone, Lu Li and Li Tian looked at each other. A glint of killing intent rose in their eyes.
This Commander Yang was vicious. If there was a chance, they must kill him. Otherwise … there would be endless troubles!
