In any power, the Criminal Law Hall was an extremely important and feared hall.
Playboy young masters were especially afraid of the Hall of Law. Falling into the hands of the Hall of Law would not only humiliate them, but they would also be severely punished.
Therefore, when young masters and young ladies saw someone from the Hall of Law, they would be humble. Patriarchs from other departments would greet them as uncles or grandpa with a smile. But when it came to the Hall of Law, they would only salute with respect and then leave quickly.
This kind of prestige was formed over the years and it was deeply rooted in their minds.
Usually, they would tremble in fear when they saw Patriarch Niu, afraid that they would say something wrong.
But now, Lu Li was scolding Patriarch Niu in the nose …
Patriarch Niu had never experienced this. He had been working at the Hall of Law for thousands of years. Even the younger generation would look at him like a mouse seeing a cat, let alone someone yelling at him like this.
It just so happened that Lu Li had accused him so many times that he didn't know how to refute. There were so many patriarchs staring at him.
Luo Feiyan might be alarmed as well. If he said something wrong, he might lose his position as a patriarch.
"Okay!"
From the Hall of Patriarchs came a dignified voice. Chief Patriarch had spoken in person, "Bring the three of them in. Divine Son, come in as well. The rest are dismissed."
In the Palace of Devils, the three Great Patriarchs were not in charge of specific affairs. They were only three Great Warriors, or three super fighters.
Apart from the Master, Chief Patriarch had the highest authority. Basically, all the affairs were managed by Chief Patriarch. Only when something big happened would the Chief Patriarch be asked to make a decision.
Nobody dared to disobey Chief Patriarch. The escorts brought the three in. Patriarch Niu glared at Lu Li angrily and walked into the Hall of Patriarchs.
Lu Li was not afraid at all. He walked in in strides.
Yuan Lingyun and the others didn't leave. Now that they had seen the show, it was pointless to leave. They might as well watch until the end and wait for the final result.
Liu Qianqian was eager to see the world in chaos. She and Lu Li didn't leave. The others stood there with their teeth clenched. Of course, they didn't dare to use psychic power so they had to wait outside.
There weren't many elders in the Elder's Hall, only about thirty to forty of them. These people were probably gathered by the Great Elder immediately after Elder Feng returned.
During this period of time, many elders had gone out. For example, Hu Bugui had gone out to oversee the situation and was not in Rakshasa Island. The elders of the intelligence hall were also not around.
The dozens of patriarchs looked at Lu Li with hostility.
This was an eventful period.
The reason why there were so many troubles was that the Palace of Hell was infuriated by the fact that the Palace of Demons had taken in Lu Li.
Now, instead of keeping a low profile, Lu Li dared to make trouble?
Just now, it was their idea that Patriarch Niu went out. They hoped that Lu Li could turn the matter into a small one. They hoped that Lu Li could let it go peacefully.
They were facing a great enemy from the outside, but there was still internal strife. How could the group of elders not be angry?
After Lu Li bowed to Chief Patriarch and the others, he stood there calmly, ignoring everyone's looks.
There were three Elders sitting at the head of the table, the Great Elder, the Disciplinary Hall Elder, and the Internal Affairs Hall Elder. The other Elders were not present, most likely having been sent out.
Apart from the Chief Patriarch and the other seven or eight Patriarchs, the other Patriarchs were looking at Lu Li with dissatisfaction.
Some of them had killing intent in their eyes. They must be related to Tan Long, Ning Ao, and Hu Qianjun.
"Untie the iron chains first!"
Chief Patriarch waved his hand. A Patriarch walked over and cut off the iron chains. Then, he fed the three with top level healing pellets.
"Tell me!"
Chief Patriarch glanced over to Tan Long and the other two without looking at Lu Li. He asked, "What happened? Tell me in detail."
Tan Long and the other two's eyes glowed. Chief Patriarch was asking them first?
Was he giving them a chance to clear their names?
Hu Qianjun and Ning Ao looked at each other but said nothing.
Tan Long took a deep breath and staggered to his feet. He then knelt on one knee and shouted in a deep voice, "Elders, please seek justice for the three of us!"
Tan Long paused for a moment as if he was thinking about how to phrase his words. After the time for two breaths, he said, "This time, when we went to the Milky Way Realm to wipe out the demons, everything went well at first.
We ran into a Ghost Fire King. Patriarch Shi told us to leave first and we left at once. We waited for more than a day but Patriarch Shi didn't come back. We decided to go back to the Milky Way City.
But the Divine Son didn't want to go with us. Later, the three of us went out to patrol and ran into the Divine Son. Because of some verbal conflict, we fought.
Then, the Divine Son destroyed our pellets and Qianjun's leg was cut off.
The Divine Son imprisoned us and tortured us. Today, we can see the light of day again … "
Tan Long was good at acting. His words were mixed with truth and falsehood. He looked wronged, but his voice was full of emotion. His miserable appearance made others feel sorry for him.
Lu Li was expressionless as well. He didn't refute anything. As soon as Tan Long finished his words, the hall became noisy. Some Patriarchs began to complain, saying that Lu Li was cruel and merciless, that he didn't care about unity and that he killed his own brothers.
The three Patriarchs with real power said nothing. Chief Patriarch looked at Hu Qianjun and Ning Ao and asked, "What do you have to say?"
Ning Ao cupped his fists and said, "I will listen to you, Patriarchs."
Hu Qianjun cupped his fists and said, "I will listen to you, Patriarchs."
Both of them were smart. They didn't turn the truth upside down. They just gave vague answers. The Patriarchs had sharp eyes and they could not tolerate any mistakes. Talking nonsense would only make things worse.
Tan Long had said everything. It was pointless for them to say anything else.
Chief Patriarch looked at Lu Li and asked, "Divine Son, do you have anything to say?"
Lu Li shook his head and said, "No!"
The hall became noisy again. Another group of Patriarchs came out and accused Lu Li loudly. They accused Lu Li in all kinds of ways, saying that he was cruel and merciless and lawless.
"Ha, ha ~"
Lu Li laughed. He said no because he wanted to see how the Patriarchs were going to react.
He took out a Memory Crystal. He threw it to Chief Patriarch and said, "Chief Patriarch, take a look. You can see who is right and who is wrong."
"Memory Crystal!"
Tan Long's expressions changed. Hu Qianjun and Ning Ao looked at each other and forced a smile.
Luckily, they didn't say anything or else they would have been slapped in the face.
Chief Patriarch took over the Memory Crystal, poured divine energy in and closed his eyes to sense it. Then, he handed the Memory Crystal to the patriarch of the Hall of Law next to him and then to the other important Patriarchs.
The Memory Crystal recorded everything as soon as the three Patriarchs showed up. Tan Long's words made it clear that the three Patriarchs wanted to kill Lu Li. The evidence was conclusive. Nobody could clear their names.
"Do you want to take a look?"
Chief Patriarch waved the Memory Crystal. Tan Long, Ning Ao and Hu Qianjun turned pale. Lu Li was prepared. It was pointless for them to say more.
