"Chen Li, for stealing spirit stones and killing three people, his sin value increases by 300."
"Xiong Bo, for murdering his fellow disciple and disposing of the body, has his sin value increased by 100."
...
"Chen Li, for squeezing more minerals from lower-level miners, sin value +50."
...
“Chen Li…”
The Black Cloud Sect comprises 5210 members, including female cultivators and their female families.
Ye Feng selected one hundred Qi Refining cultivators and tasked them with keeping track of their progress.
Chen Ying was responsible for sentencing people for minor, unregulated offenses according to her own preferences, while also supervising everyone.
As for Ye Feng himself, he sat firmly on the high platform, dominating the entire scene.
Ye Feng has been distributing the logbook for a long time, but in reality, fewer than ten thousand people actually dare to record anything in it.
Moreover, most of them seemed to be complaints, and they only wrote a few lines.
So far, no one has reported the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
However, there were some Golden Core elders, such as Chen Li, the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator in charge of registration.
He has the most whistleblower records!
"I refuse to accept this!"
As the records piled up, Chen Li couldn't help but shout and step forward from the crowd.
"These accusations are all baseless and have not been verified at all. Isn't it unfair that Lord Divine Eye made such a decision so directly?"
As he spoke, his eyes swept downwards, and then he continued,
"I want to confront the whistleblower face-to-face to prove myself!"
Zhang Han, who was below, was caught in Chen Li's gaze and lowered his head guiltily, afraid of being noticed.
At the same time, several other Foundation Establishment cultivators bowed their heads solemnly.
He appeared calm on the surface, but was actually panicking inside.
Once they confront each other, regardless of whether the matter is true or not, based on Chen Li's Golden Core stage cultivation, his status will undoubtedly be above theirs in the future.
Writing things behind someone's back is one thing, but if you offend someone to their face, your life or death is just around the corner.
Moreover, this place is 8,000 kilometers away from the Black Cloud Sect. Even if there is any evidence, it is thousands of miles away. Even if there is physical evidence, Ye Feng has already taken it all away and no one knows where it has been sold.
Ye Feng, seemingly asleep, sat suspended in mid-air above Tie Wu and the other person.
Upon seeing this, he slightly raised his head and glanced at the crowd.
Not only Chen, but many others also showed resentment in their eyes and wanted to appeal.
However, Chen Li had accumulated the most sins and stepped forward first.
Ye Feng merely glanced at him before giving the order.
"Keep going! Let's finish the statistics first!"
The results came out quickly after a hundred people counted fewer than ten thousand notebooks.
"Statistics complete, Chen Li. Total crime value: 8,500."
Zhang Yang, 3200
Xiong Bo, 3,130
...
The first group of people reported were either extremely repulsive in character or had already incurred widespread public resentment.
Only after the statistics were finished did Ye Feng stand up and look at Chen Li.
"Since you claim to be innocent, then let's prove it!"
"How will True Lord Divine Eyes prove this?"
As long as there's a confrontation, Chen Li believes that with his connections, he can easily deflect and explain away any accusation. He's not afraid that low-level whistleblowers will succeed.
As for if there are whistleblowers at the same level, they can just turn the tables and bite back...
"How do you prove it? Hehe, it's very simple!"
Ye Feng smiled slightly, and with just a wave of his hand, Chen Li was uncontrollably drawn to him.
Bring two fingers together and tap them towards your brow!
"No, no, please spare me, Divine Eye True Lord! I confess... I confess..."
Ye Feng ignored his pleas for mercy and continued clicking.
"The Finger of Inquiry!"
The pleas for mercy abruptly ceased, and a blank, bewildered look appeared in Chen Li's eyes.
This "Heart-Questioning Finger" technique, even when used by a Golden Core cultivator during Qi Refining, allows for control of its power, preventing harm to the soul.
However, once one's cultivation reaches the Golden Core stage, the body will inevitably mount a counterattack automatically.
As a result, Chen Li's sea of consciousness became a battlefield...
"Chen Li, tell me about the sins you have committed in your life!"
"I raped my distant cousin when I was eleven years old and dumped her body in a well."
At the age of thirteen, she killed her eldest brother and took his place in the clan.
He joined the Black Cloud Sect at the age of fifteen and killed...
One by one, the cases reported by the public amount to less than one-tenth of the total.
These things, perhaps, were just trivial matters in Chen Li's eyes.
As a demonic sect, it is completely incapable of making them feel guilty and turn into demons.
However, as human cultivators, they can still distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad; it's just that their moral bottom line is a bit lower.
After Chen Li finished speaking, Ye Fengnan said...
"Looks like I wasn't wrong about you after all!"
He then activated the formation, crushing Chen Li completely, leaving not even his golden core behind.
A bloody mist filled the air, and everyone fell silent.
If a Golden Core cultivator is attacked in the sea of consciousness by the Heart-Questioning Finger, even if they don't die, they will lose their mind. Even if they are truly wronged, it will be of no use.
"Record one-tenth of the whistleblower's merit points! Redistribute the logbook. Also, I'm adding one more rule: no one is allowed to view other people's records. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
Seeing Ye Feng sit back on the throne, the crowd below all felt a pang of sorrow.
However, some people showed excitement on their faces, feeling only joy and satisfaction at Chen Li's death, and even eager to report more people.
Below, True Monarch Tieyun looked up at Ye Feng and transmitted his voice,
"Does True Lord Divine Eye intend to kill us all? This will only lead to suspicion and false accusations among us. My Black Cloud Sect is a demonic sect with strict rules. Killing a few people is perfectly normal. If True Lord Divine Eye wants to kill, just do it and give us a quick death!"
Ye Feng shook his head and spoke directly.
"I will not kill easily unless the person is utterly wicked and beyond redemption. Those who truly submit to me only need to create value for me to atone for their sins. The ore they mine can be converted into spirit stones to compensate for their crimes. But if they are stubborn and refuse to submit, then they cannot blame me!"
"Your strength is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the Penglai forces must have already gained the approval of the upper sect. Whether they submit or not is entirely up to you. What difference does it make?"
"Hehe, True Lord Tieyun need not worry about that. I am True Lord Divine Eye! I naturally have the ability to discern. If you think it's inaccurate, you can try it and see!"
After speaking, Ye Feng looked coldly at the two of them.
"You two are the same! Surrender and live, resist and die! I will give you time, but not indefinitely! You two, better watch yourselves!"
After saying this, Ye Feng closed his eyes and remained silent.
While seemingly resting and recuperating, in reality, most of his consciousness was focused on his Nascent Soul clone within the Luoshui Sect.
There, Sect Master Baihe Zhenren of the Luoshui Sect had launched a full-scale attack on Ye Feng.
He even occasionally lost his focus, mistaking it for tacit permission...
