The old man glanced over. His hands glowed as he stared at Lu Li.
The people outside were stunned. Was Patriarch Chen going to kill Lu Li?
Was Lu Li not wronged?
Fairy Tian Yun just said that Lu Li must be convinced even at the cost of his life. Patriarch Chen wanted to kill Lu Li without asking any questions?
"Phew, phew!"
Lu Li was relieved because Patriarch Chen didn't show any killing intent. If he were going to kill someone, there would be some.
"Whoosh!"
Patriarch Chen waved his hand. A ray of white light cut off the iron chains on Lu Li. Patriarch Chen took out a top level pellet, gave it to Lu Li and said, "Heal your wounds first."
"Eh!"
The people outside were stunned. Then they all looked at Commander Yang and Patriarch Yu.
Patriarch Chen untied Lu Li and gave him the pellet. It meant that Lu Li was not guilty. Then … Commander Yang and Patriarch Yu were guilty!
Patriarch Chen looked at Commander Yang as well and said coldly, "Yang He, do you know what you have done?"
Commander Yang's heart skipped a beat. Patriarch Chen's words were calm but he was under great pressure.
Patriarch Chen was like a mountain. If Commander Yang could not handle it well, he would be crushed into pieces.
Confess?
He would die for sure. After all, Fairy Tian Yun was alarmed. There were so many people outside. If he didn't give an explanation, he would not be able to convince the public.
Commander Yang thought quickly. He clenched his teeth, cupped his fists and said, "Patriarch Chen, Yang He has been conscientious and has been enforcing the law impartially. May I know what I have done wrong?"
"You are so stubborn!"
Commander Chen sneered but did not continue to question him. He looked at Elder Yu and said, "Elder Yu, the goddess is here. We can't hide this matter anymore. Explain yourself and don't make a mistake!"
Patriarch Yu looked awful. After a moment, he dropped to his knees and said, "Fairy Tian Yun, I am guilty. I am from the same universe as Yang He and we are old friends.
Therefore, he asked me for a favor a few days ago. He said that Lu Li has some evil skills and he was afraid that Mount Cloud would be in turmoil. That is why I have made such a big mistake. Please punish me … "
"What ~"
Patriarch Yu had confessed. The truth was out. How could a commander collude with a patriarch to murder civilians of Mount Cloud?
This was too vile.
This caused many people outside to feel quite indignant. However, since Fairy Tian Yun had come out today, she would definitely give everyone an explanation. Everyone looked at Fairy Tian Yun in anticipation.
Elder Chen looked at Commander Yang and said coldly, "Yang He?
Are you still not going to plead guilty?
I'll give you a chance. If you confess now, you'll only be guilty.
If you don't plead guilty, your whole family may be in danger … "
"Ah?"
Commander Yang's body trembled. He had a family in Mount Skycloud — two wives and three children. If he didn't confess, all of them would have to die.
Commander Yang's expression changed. He knelt down heavily a few times and said in a sorrowful voice, "I confess, I confess.
I framed Lu Li and Li Tian. It is all my fault. Patriarch Yu has nothing to do with this. I begged Patriarch Yu. I will take full responsibility! "
"Hmph!"
A cold snort rang out. Fairy Tianyun, who was outside, said, "Since the matter has been clarified, let's deal with it according to the law.
Elder Yu will be stripped of his position and thrown into the dungeon for a hundred years. Yang He will be executed in public. "
"Take them down!"
Patriarch Chen waved his hand. Four warriors came in and took Patriarch Yu and Yang He into custody.
The two of them were powerful. If they fought back, the two warriors wouldn't be able to hold them down.
But how could they fight back?
They would be killed by Fairy Tianyun in one move.
At the very least, even if Commander Yang could run away, what about his wife and children?
Commander Yang accepted his fate. He hung his head low like a frosted eggplant. But when he glanced at Lu Li, his eyes were filled with viciousness and hatred.
"Phew, phew!"
Lu Li exhaled again. With Yang He executed, he was completely safe at Mount Skycloud. After this, nobody would dare to make things difficult for him anymore.
"Cut!"
Commander Chen walked out. A saber appeared in his hand and he cut at Commander Yang's head who was still on his knees.
With one move, Commander Yang's head flew up. He was decisive and didn't waste any words.
"Carry the body away and make an announcement to all civilians!"
Patriarch Chen put away his saber and waved his hand. Several warriors carried Commander Yang's body away. Patriarch Chen turned to Fairy Tianyun.
Since the shadow of Fairy Tianyun was still there, she must have something to say.
As expected, after Commander Yang's body was carried away and Patriarch Yu was taken away, Fairy Tianyun said, "If there is punishment, there will be rewards. This time, it is our fault for not managing things well. Lu Li, Li Tian, you have been wronged. Therefore, I have decided to give you some compensation.
Li Tian, I will give you three more chances to go to the Demon Mountain. You can go there for three days each time. "
"Ah?"
Li Tian was surprised and then overjoyed. Three times in three days. That was nine times. This was a precious gift from the Demon King.
Li Tian dropped to his knees and kowtowed. Many people outside flattered Fairy Tianyun, saying she was kind and generous.
"Lu Li!"
Fairy Tianyun continued, "You have been wronged the most. I will make it up to you. You can go to the Primordial Realm once. You can stay there for a month.
It will be up to your luck if you can learn something.
When you are healed, you can come to the peak of Mount Skycloud to find me. "
"…"
All of a sudden, everyone quieted down. Many were stunned. Then, many were filled with envy and jealousy. Some of them even had tears in their eyes.
What did Lu Li do?
How could he be so loved by Fairy Tianyun?
Did Fairy Tianyun like Lu Li?
The Primordial Realm!
Only those who could go to the Primordial Realm could pass the fifth level of the Tower of Demon Imprisonment. In history, only one person had passed the fifth level of the Tower of Demon Imprisonment and got a chance to go to the Primordial Realm.
Now, Lu Li was the second one. There were so many people at the Mount Skycloud. How many times had they tried the Tower of Demon Imprisonment?
They risked their lives and danced on the line between life and death many times. Yet, they could not pass the fifth level.
Lu Li was merely being wronged and suffering some grievances. Why would Fairy Tian Yun reward him so generously?
Many people felt it was unfair. If it were not for the prestige of Fairy Tianyun, they would have questioned it out loud.
Lu Li was taken aback as well!
He was satisfied that Fairy Tianyun could enforce the law impartially and kill Commander Yang. It would be better if she could give him some compensation, such as going to the Demon King Mountain several times like Uncle Li did.
Now, Fairy Tianyun wanted to give him a chance to go to the Primordial Realm?
Even Lu Li himself couldn't accept this because the compensation was too heavy. It didn't conform to normal logic at all, which made him feel unsure.
There was no such thing as gratuitous hatred in this world, nor was there any such thing as gratuitous love.
Fairy Tian Yun's actions made Lu Li feel uneasy.
"Aren't you going to thank the fairy?"
Uncle Li's voice woke Lu Li up. Anyway, he should thank her first. How could he miss such a good chance?
Even if there were some tricks up his sleeve, he should accept it first.
One of Lu Li's legs was broken so he could not get up. He had to bow and say, "Thank you, Fairy Tianyun!"
"Buzzing ~"
Fairy Tianyun said nothing more. She didn't give any explanation. Her shadow disappeared in midair.
People were talking about it. They were still looking at Lu Li with envy and jealousy.
"There is no such thing as a pie in the sky, only a knife!"
