Breaking through five realms in a single day, a god among men!
Chapter 86: An old case from years ago, absurd and laughable!
The sacred mountain of ascension fell into boundless silence.
Fifth Jue stood with his hands behind his back, his face cold and stern.
In his eyes, what are the top people in the underground world, the glory of the divine dynasty, and the death arbiter?
He only cares about the honor and disgrace of his family!
Gu Lin caused the Fifth Clan to suffer humiliation.
There must be a price to pay!
Would a dignified commander with 50,000 members of the Holy Land under his command care about a genius who has ascended to the God Ranking?
"Not going to argue?" Fifth Absolute sneered and continued to wave his hand.
The garrison commander, Fifth Yuan, took out various skeletons from his storage ring.
"This is Zhao Yao."
"This is Zhao Yao's father."
"This is Zhao Can."
"This is Li Qingwu and her father."
"These are the remains of the Sima family of Chuzhou."
When Wu Yuan looked into the ancient mirror, wisps of aura emerged, all exactly the same as the aura of Wu Zhaotantai Xiu's skeleton!
"They were all executed by Gu Lin himself; these were the execution documents drafted by Gu Lin himself."
Fifth Abyss presented a series of official documents, then publicly questioned:
"Killing them is justified and legal, after all, you are a member of the East Temple, and you have found evidence of their crimes."
"But please explain Shen Chi's corpse!"
"What right do you, a commoner, have to kill someone?"
"Is Shen Chi a wanted criminal by the government? Or has he been convicted by the county authorities? You are committing indiscriminate killing!"
In an instant, Xiao Mu, Shen Nong Que, and the others felt dizzy and tense to the point of almost suffocating.
Once convicted, with the Fifth Absolute exerting pressure, Lord Gu will surely be expelled from the Holy Land.
Without the protection of the Holy Land, the Fifth Clan has a Martial Saint in charge. Fifth Jue himself may be a Martial Saint. He can fabricate charges at will and kill Lord Gu!
This time, we've truly reached a dead end!
Countless eyes turned to the figure in red robes.
Gu Lin remained calm and composed, saying:
"If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext."
Fifth Jue laughed, approaching step by step, and said coldly:
Do you think you've escaped the law?
"Gentlemen of the Daoist Discipline Office, can you exonerate him?"
Upon hearing this, Director Fuxi and Deputy Director Yan fell silent.
But the other high-ranking officials of the Western Dome Domain Dao Discipline Division said in a deep voice:
"Everyone must be punished for their crimes, no matter who they are!"
The Fifth Question:
"What should the punishment be?"
The head of the Daoji Division had a grim expression:
"Confirm their guilt and expel them from the Holy Land!"
The entire cultivation world must follow the order established by the Heavenly Palace. This is the foundation of stability. What does a thousand households or a genius who has ascended to the God Ranking mean in the grand scheme of the cultivation world?
Hearing this, countless members of the Holy Land in the Holy State felt as if their hearts were being torn apart.
Expelled from the Holy Land!?
A twenty-one-year-old second-ranked commander, a twenty-one-year-old prodigy on the list of gods, he was so dazzling, he was going to continue to conquer and create glory in the cultivation world, but everything was over, he was going to be expelled from the holy land!
The moment you are expelled from the holy land, you become a corpse!
The fact that the Fifth Clan went to such lengths to find evidence shows the deep hatred the entire family harbors for Gu Lin. Now that the Commander is in charge, they need a strong show of force to establish their authority, and Gu Lin is the perfect target for that.
Facing the gaze of the entire audience, Gu Lin suddenly clapped his hands in praise:
"To frame me, they actually carved a wisp of my aura into my bones. Does the Commander of the East Temple think he can frame a commander at will? Deliberately digging up a skeleton, then collecting aura from the other bones and embedding it into the skeleton, then fabricating a story based on my past experiences!"
"If you like using a mirror, then look clearly!!"
Gu Lin stepped forward, took the mirror, and scanned the dozens of skeletons.
Several of the skeletons showed the same signs of burning.
Gu Lin knew in his heart that this was caused by the Three Yangs Extinction Handprint.
Many more skeletons showed the same traces of sword energy.
This was caused by the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Several skeletons also bore numerous overlapping leg marks.
This was caused by the Nine Heavens Thunder God Leg.
Only Shen Chi's skeleton, when reflected in the mirror, showed signs of being corroded by cold poison, with traces of green remaining.
This is my only way to break this deadlock.
He was very cautious at the time, and this was the only time he used the Xuanming Divine Palm. Even though he was weak at the time and had very few martial arts skills, he never used this method again!
Gu Lin surveyed the entire audience and said in a firm and powerful voice:
"As everyone has seen, these corpses all died from the same move, and those corpses were the same. I did kill them, and they deserved it. I am also proficient in these moves and have used them in the Chuwei County Holy Land Selection Tournament."
"But the traces left on Shen Chi's remains are completely different from the rest of the skeletons, because I don't know this move at all, and I have no idea who killed him."
"Just because I have connections with the Shen family, the Fifth Clan dug up my grave and exhumed my remains, imprinting my aura into my bones. Isn't that ridiculous?"
Fifth Master's expression changed drastically, and he angrily said:
"You still want to argue?"
"What do you mean by sophistry?" Gu Lin's face was grim.
"You're getting angry just because your frame-up scheme was exposed?"
After speaking, he looked at the members of the Daoji Division:
"A case must be based on irrefutable evidence!"
"What constitutes irrefutable evidence!"
"I, Gu Lin, have killed so many people. If I can find traces of Shen Chi's remains on any corpse, and if that corpse was killed by me, Gu Lin, then that's the evidence that can be presented!"
Fifth Master's face darkened, and he suddenly sneered:
"Whether the aura within Shen Chi's remains is a frame-up or not, let the Western Heavenly Domain Holy Land investigate. Don't you trust the Heavenly Palace's methods?"
Gu Lin countered sharply:
"I don't trust the Fifth Clan's character!"
"I'm not some newbie from some holy land. I won't be fooled by your little accusations. If you want to bring me down, produce solid evidence."
"What do I have to fear, given my innocent status?!"
At this moment, Director Fuxi and Deputy Director Yan finally found an opportunity to uphold justice and said:
"This so-called evidence is hardly enough to convict Gu Lin."
"Just as he said, since Gu Lin joined the Holy Land, he has killed so many people. If even one of those corpses had the exact same fighting style as Shen Chi's remains, and it was confirmed that the corpse was killed by Gu Lin before death, that would be true evidence!"
"After all, seeing is believing. All the bones on the ground, when reflected in the mirror, show the same residual marks, except for Shen Chi's bones. Isn't that suspicious?"
The high-ranking officials from the Daoist Discipline Office of the Western Dome Domain fell into deep thought.
As for evidence, there isn't enough.
But this aura was definitely not a frame-up; they recognized the ancient mirror.
The people of the Fifth Clan looked stiff.
That beast is such a sophist!
The fifth voice was cold and aloof:
"Anyone who dares to deliberately protect him, I will not only take this to the Holy Land of the Western Heaven, but also submit an official document to the Heavenly Palace. Does this world not need justice? Is order to be trampled upon at will? Does this innocent commoner named Shen Chi deserve to die? As the Commander of the Eastern Temple, I will uphold justice for him!!"
This is the power of the Golden Robe Commander.
When faced with injustice, the commander was able to send an official document to the imperial court!
As for Fu Xiche and Yan Yu speaking up for that little beast surnamed Gu, he didn't care at all. The chief and deputy chiefs of the Imperial Court's Discipline Inspection Commission had no right to interfere with a commander!
