Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Haicheng was completely baffled and even hated his own mouth. How could he have said such a thing?

When Hai Linglan saw her kind younger brother lose his temper with her for the first time, she was completely stunned, and tears were about to fall from her face.

Lin Yaoxie watched the family's farce with amusement, completely unconcerned that he was the one who caused it; he was simply there to watch the show.

"No, Lord City Lord, you can't marry the princess to this scoundrel. He can't do anything, and he's full of evil spirits. I always feel like he's not a good person. You can't let Gu marry him. The princess will definitely regret it." Haileyun was still trying to persuade her.

Haicheng also longed for it, but since the words had been spoken, they would inevitably become a vow. Even if she loved her youngest daughter dearly, she could not exchange her life for this promise.

"Lord of the City, please retract your order! If you withdraw your promise, you will only suffer a lightning tribulation. Moreover, this is a place where the lightning tribulation is formed in the courtyard, so it will not cause you much harm. However, if you do not withdraw this promise today, you will ruin the princess's happiness for a lifetime!" Haileyun said earnestly.

Hai Linglan felt extremely disgusted with Hai Leyun at this moment. Why did everyone try so hard to stop her from liking Brother Lin?

He had only known Brother Lin for a short time, but Haile Yun had been obstructing them and had never given Brother Lin a kind look from the very beginning.

And now he is going to break the promise his father made to him and his brother Lin. How can he tolerate this?

"Brother Yun! Please stop talking," Hai Linglan said, her face showing an indignant expression.

Heller was heartbroken. He was doing everything he could for the princess's happiness, but she was hopelessly infatuated with that rascal's charm.

Haicheng was persuaded by Haileyun. After all, it was just a small vow, so what? This kid was just an ordinary person, and this promise wouldn't cause any trouble in the laws of heaven and earth.

Even if he goes back on his word, he'll only face a minor tribulation. It's better to listen to what Haileyun says.

He couldn't let his daughter fall into the hands of such a person!

"Gods, I beg you to retract my promise," Heller said, bowing to the sky. Before he could finish speaking, a large dark cloud appeared in the sky.

Chapter 18 is a joke

Haicheng sighed, knowing that this was something he couldn't avoid, so he accepted it calmly.

The entire city lord's mansion is the center of the gathering of willpower; it only needs to use a little bit of willpower to protect itself.

Lin Yaoxie looked at the huge dark cloud in the sky and raised an eyebrow. Is this the tribulation of lightning in this world? It came so quickly.

That cloud looks huge. I wonder if it will strike and kill someone, or rather, kill the bad guys?

As a major villain, he has to lie from time to time. What if he becomes powerful in the future and accidentally lies? Wouldn't it be very difficult for him to pass the tribulation?

Haicheng was very confident about this matter, and even believed that the lightning would not harm him, since the person he was making the promise to was just an unarmed mortal.

The less his promises change the world, the less the lightning he will unleash when he goes back on his word.

Hai Cheng secretly channeled his inner energy, activating a protective barrier around himself. A faint power of will clung to the barrier, safeguarding it.

Another function of the power of vows is that they can help all beings resist the punishment of Heaven. With the power of vows, the tribulation of lightning simply cannot be brought down.

Hai Cheng thought confidently, without even considering moving. Since the lightning tribulation wouldn't come down and wouldn't hurt anyone nearby, why should he hide?

Unexpectedly, before the tribulation even began, the clouds in the sky turned into a blood-red cloud, flashing with blood-red lightning.

Haicheng is in Haicheng. Having reigned supreme for so many years and been beloved by the people, he had never witnessed such terrifying lightning. Even when he ascended to sainthood, he had never encountered such a terrifying tribulation!

No, something must be wrong. He promised to be an ordinary mortal, so how could he attract such terrifying blood-red lightning?

Hai Cheng suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yaoxie, who was half-closing his eyes and staring at him. He saw that Lin Yaoxie was calm and composed even when faced with such lightning, and even looked like he was watching a good show. Hai Cheng suddenly felt that this person must not be an ordinary person.

It is highly likely that this place has an extraordinary origin, involving the Great Dao.

Therefore, making a promise to her is an extremely important matter in accordance with the rules of heaven and earth; once violated, it will bring about the most terrifying blood-red lightning tribulation.

0oo is asking for flowers.....

Such a blood-red lightning tribulation would be impossible for even a Great Luo Golden Immortal to survive, let alone someone who hasn't yet advanced to immortality and is still just an ordinary saint.

Haicheng suddenly felt an unprecedented fear; a world-destroying aura emanated from the sky, as if it were about to end the world.

Faced with such terrifying blood clouds, his thin layer of willpower seemed like a joke.

Haile Yun, who had just been supporting his city lord, was now dumbfounded. This was the blood-red lightning tribulation that only occurred when a god underwent tribulation! How could this be? They had only broken a small promise.

Haile Yun was utterly stunned by what had happened today. That Lin Yaoxie was clearly just an ordinary mortal, how could it be? How could it be!

Hai Cheng's heart pounded with panic. Seeing that the water was about to drop, he blurted out in time:

"If a disciple is at fault, the promise will not be revoked; the promise remains valid."

Haile Yun gaped as he watched his city lord yield to the will of Heaven. Only then did the blood cloud retract its lightning and transform into an ordinary dark cloud.

Chapter Nineteen: Still Struck by Lightning

Cheng thought the dark clouds would dissipate, since his inability to bear the promise wasn't considered a breach of it. So he lowered his guard, even removing the power of his vow from his body.

But to my surprise, the blood cloud just turned into an ordinary dark cloud, and it was still flashing with lightning and thunder.

"What, what's going on? How come he's still here?" Haicheng panicked.

Although he didn't have to endure the crimson lightning, the ordinary lightning tribulation was still quite serious.

However, he forgot to activate his protective barrier. Suddenly, amidst the dark clouds and thunder, a bolt of lightning as thick as a man pierced through Haicheng's body.

"what!"

Haicheng began to scream incessantly, because the lightning was thicker than ordinary lightning. Moreover, he hadn't even mentioned his sister; it struck him directly, even piercing through his entire body.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already reached the Saint Realm and that there was a flow of willpower protecting him, he would have been chopped into pieces by now.

"No, what's going on? Father, are you alright?" Hai Linglan cried out and rushed over to shield Hai Cheng from the lightning tribulation.

Haileyun stopped him in time. You are very worried about the city lord, but even the city lord's cultivation level is useless here. If the princess and others with lower cultivation levels went there, they would be directly chopped into dust. They are really too weak without the Saint realm.

"what!"

Haicheng was still screaming in agony, but the lightning showed no sign of stopping.

"What's going on? The lightning has already struck Father, why hasn't it stopped?" Hai Linglan was almost in tears. Why did things turn out like this? Everything was fine just now, and she was about to marry her beloved Brother Lin.

But suddenly his father changed his mind and vehemently opposed it. And now, a heavenly tribulation of lightning has descended, intending to kill his father.

"No!" Hai Linglan cried out, nearly collapsing.

Lin Yaoxie watched coldly from the side, and finally spoke when he saw that Haicheng was about to collapse.

He couldn't let Haicheng die, otherwise how could he absorb the saint's power? It would be best to leave him half-dead, making it easier for him to absorb it.

In truth, Lin Yaoxie himself didn't know why such a lightning tribulation would suddenly be summoned from the sky.

However, since this tribulation lightning originated from him, it must be closely related to him...

Why not let him play the trick?

Lin Yaoxie grinned wickedly, then walked to the side of Haicheng, stood in an area unaffected by the lightning, and looked on with an expression of watching from the sidelines.

When Hai Linglan saw Lin Yaoxie, she suddenly remembered this matter. Was it because her father was about to break his promise about Brother Lin that this happened? Would it be effective if Brother Lin pleaded for her?

Thinking of this, he quickly ran over, grabbed Lin Yaoxie's arm, his eyes brimming with tears, and said pitifully:

"Brother Lin, please save Father! He really didn't mean it. I can't live without Father." Hai Linglan said.

Lin Yaoxie didn't turn around to look. He just smiled and then said to Haicheng, who was still screaming and enduring the lightning tribulation:

Have you realized your mistake?

Hai Cheng was so confused by the criticism that he used all his strength to defend himself against the attack. He couldn't hear the sounds around him before, but inexplicably he heard Lin Yaoxie's voice.

"I understand!"

Chapter Twenty: Shouting "I was wrong"

Lin Yaoxie glanced at the still relentless lightning tribulation in the sky, thinking that if it struck him again, he would be killed. His eyes darted around before he asked again:

"Where did we go wrong?"

Haicheng probably realized that Lin Yaoxie might want to save him, and quickly replied:

“I shouldn’t have broken my promise, I shouldn’t have broken my promise to you, it was Xiao Wang who was wrong.”

It has to be said that Lin Yaoxie felt quite pleased to hear the high and mighty city lord say such things.

Seeing the lightning shrink slightly, Lin Yaoxie knew he had done the right thing. It seemed that only by making him fully realize his mistake and pay a certain price for his actions would it disappear.

This puzzled Lin Yaoxie. When did Heaven suddenly side with him, forcing others to admit their mistakes?

Lin Yaoxie gave a mocking laugh.

"Now that you've recognized your mistake, put it into action; words alone won't do."

Haicheng quickly agreed. He had really held on until the very last moment; if he didn't stop, he would really hang up.

"Tell me, tell me, I'll do it right away," Haicheng said, even opening his eyes to try and see Lin Yaoxie's expression.

Lin Yaoxie smiled at him, his eyes full of ill intent. Haicheng felt a pang of unease; he knew Lin Yaoxie was about to say something that would embarrass him.

But there was nothing he could do; his life was still in their hands. Given time, Haicheng would definitely make sure to kill this kid.

"Look towards the sky, empower yourself with spiritual energy, and shout: 'Lin Yaoxie, I was wrong. I promise to marry my daughter to you. Can you do that?'"

Haicheng was furious, but he had no choice but to do as he was told.

Strangely enough, just as Haicheng was about to muster even a tiny bit of his inner strength to shout, the lightning suddenly decreased significantly, as if to allow him to free up more inner strength to amplify his voice.

Haicheng: "..."

Good grief, they're messing with him.

I used so much force when I struck him, afraid that he would use even a little bit of his internal strength, but when I made him say these words, I didn't even give him a chance to pretend to be weak?

He had just been thinking that since he had very little spiritual power to use, he could just pretend to talk about it and that it wouldn't travel very far. At most, it would only travel a few miles around Tingfeng Pavilion, which was all the territory of the City Lord's Mansion.

Even if someone overheard, he could tell them to shut up. But if he were to unleash all his spiritual power to shout now, probably everyone in the entire city would hear him.

Not only here, but even in cities hundreds of thousands of miles away, powerful beings would hear his heart-wrenching roar, right?

Holy crap, that's ruthless!

But there was no other way; his life was hanging by a thread. This was the only option; he couldn't run away, for the will of Heaven was something he couldn't escape.

If you provoke it, it will be like a curse that accompanies you at all times, making you constantly experience the ruthlessness of the Great Dao.

Hai Linglan thought the request was a bit excessive, but it didn't matter as long as it saved her younger brother's life. So she encouraged Hai Cheng, saying, "Father, hurry up and call him. Don't suffer for the sake of saving face. I believe the people in the city won't care."

Chapter Twenty-One: The Lightning Recedes

Haicheng felt even more embarrassed when he saw his daughter watching from the side, but he had no choice but to shout.

He gathered his spiritual energy in his dantian, took a deep breath, then soared into the air and shouted with all his might:
