Chapter 0251
"Brethren of the dao, this humble creature is Zhao Tianjian from Punishment Hall . If I may interrupt for a moment . " Zhao Tianjian's face was cold, his voice ringing out clearly .
He had appeared at such a critical juncture, and was a bucket of cold water on the hype . But everyone was indeed curious . What was this guy up to?
Looking at him, and then at Zhao Xuanxian, it seemed like not even Zhao Xuanxian himself knew what his father was up to . He simply waved an irritated hand, saying, "Off with you . Don't come here and cause trouble . "
Zhao Tianjian gave an embarrassed smile . He gave way to his son, but did not leave . Instead, he turned to Wu Yu and pulled out a black and white plaque, on which complex spirit designs were inscribed . In a loud voice, he said, "Punishment Hall's punishment decree is written thus! Hear, everyone . Shushan disciple Wu Yu, formerly a disciple of the Green Glass Sword Palace, Futu Hall . The above mentioned, in order to attain riches and glory, killed his master, Zhang Futu, and is found guilty of the intolerable crime of killing one's master . The evidence is solid! The authorities at Punishment Hall confirm the judgment and have decided to charge Wu Yu with imprisonment!"
Punishment decree?
Wu Yu knew that once the punishment decree was invoked, it represented the will of the entire Punishment Hall . This also meant that Zhao Tianjian was not blindly speaking on behalf of Punishment Hall, but that Punishment Hall had already decreed Wu Yu's sin . The highest ranking supervisors in the Common Sword Domain's Punishment Hall were two Earth sword ranks, and this disheartened Wu Yu . He had thought the matter of Zhang Futu concluded - why had Punishment Hall suddenly appeared to bring him to the Sword Impalement Prison? And why did Zhao Tianjian have to appear at his fight with Zhao Xuanxian?
Whoosh!
In a flash, Shen Xingyu appeared before Zhao Tianjian and took the punishment decree out of his hands . A quick glance told her that the punishment decree was genuine, and this disheartened her as well .
"Those two punks from Punishment Hall . I already spoke to them . They actually won't cooperate?" Shen Xingyu fumed . She wanted to behead those two . The problem now was that the establishment of Punishment Hall was decided by the entirety of Shushan . A judgment on an ordinary dan disciple before everybody - especially since the punishment decree was invoked - was not easily interfered with, even for Shen Xingyu . Perhaps not even a personal appearance by the Galaxy Sword Sage could save Wu Yu .
"Scram . This matter will wait until after their fight . " Shen Xingyu was of an anxious nature, and directly sent Zhao Tianjian flying with a sweep .
As for Zhao Xuanxian, he actually sneered . He looked at Wu Yu with a much lighter heart . "Looks like my worthless dad actually gave me a good surprise this time . Wu Yu, this means that regardless of victory or defeat, you will have to suffer at the Sword Impalement Prison . However, that is as you deserve . You have killed your own master . With such decayed morals, you are not even qualified to be a Shushan disciple . And you still think you can be the Galaxy Sword Sage's disciple?"
Shen Xingyu was seething within as well . She could not work out where the problem was . She said to Wu Yu, "Don't be affected . Focus on completing this challenge . Although the punishment decree has been invoked, if my brother is willing, he might be able to help you . "
The key was that the Galaxy Sword Sage had to be willing . Even Shen Xingyu felt that the punishment decree was hard to deal with . And if he lost to Zhao Xuanxian here, then he would be in trouble . Shushan's Sword Impalement Prison was not a place that humans could withstand!
"Forcing my hand?" Wu Yu truly felt like he was being forced along a one-way road .
The matter of Zhang Futu had caused Wu Yu to deeply feel how terrifying public sentiment could be . Sometimes, the truth caved in to a single blow from the public view . Many people did not even wish to know the truth . Once bias occurred in the account or against a person, even Wu Yu's innocence would not be able to turn the matter .
Unless he stood at a high enough peak and held the privilege to speak .
This was the only way that he could possibly wash away this bad name!
"If a dao practitioner decides to defy the natural order, he will near the ultimate peak one day, and all other mountains will look small before him!"
The stir that Zhao Tianjian had brought caused a huge uproar . An ordinary person would already have been undone by their fear, let alone facing a talent like Zhao Xuanxian . But from the start to end, Wu Yu was calm . He bid himself remain calm . He had only one enemy, and that was Zhao Xuanxian, who was reveling in Wu Yu's misfortune .
"Since Punishment Hall has invoked the punishment decree, then this matter must be real . Who would have thought that this Wu Yu was such a despicable character, to even have the affront to kill his own master? If the Galaxy Sword Sage dares to take him as his disciple, then he must be blind . If such a disciple surpasses him, he would kill him!" Many sighed regretfully .
"Punishment Hall has always been fair, and they probably haven't made a mistake this time . I hear that when it happened, many Futu Hall disciples were watching on as well . This disciple called Wu Yu is cruel and demonic in nature . He must be doomed for the Sword Impalement Prison . That's his just desserts . "
"I'm just afraid that he will defeat Zhao Xuanxian and the Galaxy Sword Sage will take him under his wing and protect him . Punishment Hall would be unable to deal with the Galaxy Sword Sage's disciple, right? However, I think that the Galaxy Sword Sage has already seen the true nature of Wu Yu . "
"You're wrong . Zhao Xuanxian is much stronger than He Taiyao . He Taiyao lost every challenge against him, and then finally grew to like him, becoming dao companions with him . Wu Yu barely defeated He Taiyao, and there is an 80% chance that he is not Zhao Xuanxian's match . In all these years, have you ever seen Zhao Xuanxian lose to an opponent of the same age?"
The chatter was like a swarm of houseflies buzzing by his ears . Ordinary people, being maligned thus, would already have been driven mad with anger, unable to reason clearly .
When it began to affect Wu Yu, he used Visualizing the Inner Ape . When the Unparalleled Monkey King appeared within his heart, he could feel those imperious eyes high up above . Wu Yu felt calm, and even an intense sense of understanding .
"The masses are like ants . These words mean nothing to me at all . Only by surpassing them can I rise above them and stop those tongues . "
With that, Zhao Xuanxian became Wu Yu's only target . At that moment, both were charged up, ready to go at each other .
