Duan Ni wanted to rush to the city gate but after hearing what the Patriarch of Law Enforcement said, he had a complicated look on his face. The shield had been activated and it was impossible for him to rush out.
Besides, there were many powerful divine senses locked onto him. If he dared to do anything, he would be killed instantly.
He tidied up his clothes and walked to the Governor's Residence. Although something had happened, he was the Patriarch of the Duan Family and the iron law of the Yun Family could not stop him. After all, he did not use force in the city.
Yun Zhongtian was panicking in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. Yun Zhongtian muttered to himself for several breaths of time before leaving.
But he did not go to the Governor's Residence. Instead, he went to the north of the city. With his speed, he arrived at a manor in a few seconds.
"Plop!"
He dropped to his knees and said in shame, "Patriarch, I am here to ask for forgiveness!"
Yun Zhongtian was smart. If he went to the Governor's Residence, it would be official business. No one could predict what would happen in front of all the warriors in the city.
Therefore, he came here to ask for the Patriarch's forgiveness.
This was a family matter. There was a difference between family and official business. If he did it behind closed doors, it would not be so embarrassing and the sentence would be lighter.
"Creak ~"
The door of the manor opened and a boy came out. Although he was just a boy, Yun Zhongtian did not dare to look down on him. This was the descendant of the Patriarch, the favorite descendant of the Patriarch. The boy had been with him ever since he was born and was taught by the Patriarch himself.
The boy walked out and looked at Yun Zhongtian coldly. "The Patriarch has ordered that you should not be here. Go to the Governor's Residence."
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
Yun Zhongtian's complexion turned pale. The Family King's attitude was very clear. This time, he had bumped into an iron plate. The Family King's attitude would cause the Law Enforcement Elder to give him a harsher sentence.
But since the Patriarch had said it, it was meaningless for him to say anything more. He could only sneak back to the Governor's Residence. When he entered the Governor's Residence, he found that Duan Ni was already inside.
He was the Patriarch of the Yun Family but the Patriarch of Law Enforcement was only below the Patriarch and the Chief Patriarch.
He bowed respectfully and waited on the side.
The Law Enforcement Elder glanced at Duan Ni and Yun Zhongtian and said, "Do the two of you have anything to say?
Yun He accused Elder Duan Ni of bribing Elder Yun Zhongtian to frame this young friend. Is this true? "
Yun Zhongtian straightforwardly nodded and said, "That's right, that's the truth. Duan Ni gave me some treasures and asked me to help capture this person and send him out of the city.
This matter was a moment of greed on my part and I did not guard my heart. I will accept any punishment from the Disciplinary Elder. "
Since Yun Zhongtian said so, what else could Duan Ni say?
He could only spread his hands and say, "Yes, I was ordered by my clan's king to capture this brat. This brat entered the city, and I didn't dare to use force inside the city, so I could only resort to this."
Now that things had come to this point, everything was clear. Everything was clear.
Now, all they had to do was wait for the Enforcement Elder to convict them. The Enforcement Elder sat there quietly with his eyes closed. Clearly, he was communicating with the Yun Clan King.
More than a thousand martial artists gathered outside. All of them were silent as they waited for the final verdict.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Enforcement Elder opened his eyes and looked at Yun Zhongtian first and said, "Yun Zhongtian, the clan has decided to relieve you of your elder position. At the same time, you will be sent to Moon Seeking Island to guard for ten thousand years. Do you accept this?"
"Moon Seeking Island, ten thousand years …"
Suddenly, there was an uproar outside. Moon Seeking Island was an extremely terrifying place. Even an expert who was infinitely close to the Absolute Perfection realm would not be able to withstand it.
Was Yun Zhongtian going crazy after being locked inside for ten thousand years?
Yun Zhongtian's complexion turned pale. He seemed to have aged a few thousand years in a split second. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Zhongtian is willing to accept this punishment!"
"Go!"
The Enforcement Elder waved his hand. Yun Zhongtian tidied up his clothes and strode out. Even though he was being punished heavily, he did not lose his bearing.
Many martial artists outside were in awe. This Yun Zhongtian was indeed a character.
After Yun Zhongtian left, the Enforcement Elder turned to Duan Ni and said, "Duan Ni, you are a patriarch of the Duan Family. But as long as you come to the Cloud King City, we will treat you equally, regardless of your status or abilities. All are equal under the iron law.
You didn't do it yourself, but you did. Therefore, you are the culprit and you must accept the punishment. "
Duan Ni's expressions turned cold. He had thought that since he was a patriarch of the Duan Family and he was here on the order of the Family Patriarch, he could be considered a special emissary.
After all, Lu Li didn't die in the end. This was not a big deal. At best, it was just a drunkard kicking Lu Li.
At the very least, if the patriarch of the Yun Family was not greedy for money, could Duan Ni buy him off?
This was the Yun Family's problem. How could Duan Ni vent his anger on him?
Duan Ni cupped his fists and said, "I am here on orders. I am a special emissary. I am here to discuss with Patriarch Zhongtian on behalf of our family to capture the villain who attacked our family. He is just an Emperor Realm warrior.
Patriarch Zhongyue, why do you have to go all the way and not let go?
Give me this bastard. Our family will be grateful and we will repay you handsomely in the future! "
Duan Ni's words seemed to make sense. The Duan Family was a big family and so was the Yun Family. It was natural for the two families to help each other.
It was just to capture an Emperor Realm warrior. If he could gain the friendship of the Duan Family, why not?
If a small warrior caused a war between the two families, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Both Lu Li and Zixi were getting nervous. Duan Ni was a smart guy. He was good at changing the topic. All of a sudden, he brought the issue to the peace and war between the two races. Compared to the relationship between the two races, Lu Li was really insignificant.
Many warriors looked at Patriarch of Law Enforcement, waiting to see what he had to say.
Without thinking, Patriarch of Law Enforcement said with a smile, "First of all, you cannot represent the Duan Family. Second, we do not value the friendship and repayment of the Duan Family.
Third, you have corrupted a patriarch of our family. This is a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven.
Fourth, our family is established by iron law. Whether the iron law is fair or not is related to the reputation and ethos of our family. This is the foundation of our family.
You want to destroy our family. How can we forgive you?
Even if the top 10 patriarchs of the Duan Family are here, we will punish them severely, let alone a patriarch like you! "
"Good!"
Someone shouted. Many onlookers of the Yun Family were excited and cheered for Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
Lu Li secretly praised Patriarch of Law Enforcement. This was a real big family. This was the confidence and grace of a big family.
Coldness rose in Duan Ni's eyes. He snorted and said, "What?
Do you dare to kill me? "
"Yes!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded calmly and said, "Not only will I kill you, I will send your body back to the Duan King City. I will also demand an explanation from your family. Otherwise … the relationship between our two families will not be friendship, but war!"
"Impressive!"
Lu Li was convinced. This was a real big family, a real wealthy family. They did things in an open and aboveboard manner. They didn't care about any conspiracy. They would crush their enemies directly. If they were not convinced, then fight!
