Chapter 54 Killing You, with Reason and Evidence



Beneath the Azure Dragon Divine Land lie seven divine realms.

Each divine realm has its own branch temple, which governs hundreds of kingdoms and countless sects under its command.

The Azure Dragon Temple holds an unparalleled position and is the true controller of the divine land.

The same applies to the branch temples of the seven divine realms.

Within each divine realm, there is a most powerful imperial dynasty and a sect with the deepest foundation.

The Imperial Dynasty is responsible for assisting the Divine Land Branch Temple in managing and governing hundreds of kingdoms within the Divine Realm.

The sect with the strongest foundation assists the Divine Land Branch Hall in controlling all sects within the Divine Realm.

Although the number of kingdoms and sects is extremely complex and vast, the rules are extremely strict, and the class division is even more rigorous.

Every power and nation must act in accordance with the rules of the temple.

Those who defy will surely be reduced to ashes.

Qing Liu, from the outer gate of the Horned Constellation Domain Azure Dragon Temple Horned Constellation Domain branch, not only has reached the terrifying Refinement Void Realm, but is also the current Divine Land Inspector.

The Divine Land Inspectors are rotated every three years and are responsible for inspecting all kingdoms and sects within the Divine Realm.

However, if any rebellious traitors are discovered within the divine realm, they can be reported to the temple for action to eliminate them.

This is a lucrative position.

Because whenever the inspection team arrived at a place, someone would offer a large amount of treasures, hoping that Qingliu would speak well of them in the temple.

Qingliu's term as inspector had expired, and he was preparing to return to Jiaosu Domain to hand over his orders and request rewards. However, just as he was about to set off on his return journey, he received a message from the Emperor of Dayang.

The promised treasures within tempted Qingliu.

Therefore, he decided to make a trip to Dayang, where the strongest person in that remote and desolate country was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if I were to make the trip, it would only take three days at most, which wouldn't delay my return to the temple to hand over the patrol duties.

After instructing the Crown Prince to prepare for the operation a few days later, Emperor Chongyang rose and went to the inner palace, where he found Empress Lin.

"How are the preparations going?"

Queen Lin was extremely beautiful, with an air of great elegance and nobility, but the coldness on her face and the fierceness between her brows made her beauty appear unusually sinister.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Master has already sent word that he will arrive in the capital in three days at most."

After speaking, he looked at Emperor Chongyang.

"I will personally rip out that little beast's heart to avenge my son."

Lin Dong was the Empress's favorite nephew, and she was much closer to him than to her own mother.

Lin Dong's head was severed by Qi Boqi's sword during the Sky Grand Competition, which made Lin Hou wish she could tear Qi Boqi to pieces immediately.

But persuaded by Emperor Chongyang, she endured it.

Because she knew that what Emperor Chongyang wanted was to uproot the Marquis's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Once the Marquis's mansion is destroyed, Ye Boqi can be tormented at will.

What no one knew was that Empress Lin Wanqing's sect was the infamous Ghost Fiend Sect, which was notorious in the Horned Constellation Domain.

This is an evil sect that exorcises ghosts and wards off poison, using extremely cruel methods.

Emperor Chongyang nodded upon hearing this, then went to Empress Lin's side and gently patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry, Qing'er. Lord Qingliu will arrive in three days, and then we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"But before we can do anything, Qing'er needs to pull the trigger."

Empress Lin smiled coldly upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will activate the Ghostly Heart-Eating Gu in three days. Once activated, Dongfang Ruoyun will be controlled by the Ghostly Heart-Eating Gu and become a walking corpse, at my mercy."

...

For some people, once they turn to the dark side, there's no stopping them.

Qi Shanlin was like this, and so was Qin Feng.

After the mansions of more than a dozen high-ranking officials were destroyed overnight, the prefectural government, which was once so powerful that anyone could kick it, stood up.

Not only did it stand up, it also started walking sideways.

His attitude toward ordinary people remained unchanged, but his attitude toward the servants and slaves of high-ranking officials and nobles was one that could be described as outrageous.

In Xiao Jiu's words, as long as he sees these people, he will not hesitate to go up and shoot them in the face.

Then he opened the thick book of the Great Yang National Law and began to nitpick.

For law enforcement officers, they can always find fault with you if they want to.

All living beings in the capital are protected and supervised by the Prefectural Governor's Office; this is clearly stated in the laws of the Great Yang Kingdom.

Did you step with your left foot first?

Alright, he deliberately killed someone. Seize him and throw him into the prefect's jail.

What, you disagree?

Then I'll make you admit defeat. Come here, this is an ant crawling along under the protection of my prefectural government, but you fucking stomped on it and killed it.

Even if it's just an ant, it's still an ant within the capital of my Great Yang Empire, a creature protected by my Prefectural Government.

You fucking dare to deliberately kill living beings in front of my prefectural magistrate and his men!

This is not only a contempt for the authority of my prefectural government, but also a provocation against the laws of the Great Yang Kingdom.

How can we uphold the authority of the Great Yang royal family and maintain the fairness of the Great Yang national laws if we don't severely punish a scoundrel like you?

Seize him and execute him on the spot!

It wasn't that no one felt they had powerful backing; they directly led people to surround the prefectural government office.

Qi Shanlin walked out with his hands behind his back and a smile, then politely clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone.

"Oh dear, here comes the free kill! Welcome, welcome!"

Then he turned his head and coldly left behind a sentence.

"Gathering a crowd to storm the prefectural government office is tantamount to treason; all of them shall be executed!"

They just abuse their power like it's nothing, they're just that arrogant and outrageous.

The problem is, who can find fault with him?

They keep citing national laws and upholding the dignity of the royal family. If you go against them, what is that if not rebellion?

Killing you is justified and justified.

When the news reached the palace, Emperor Chongyang looked as disgusted as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

After catching his breath several times, he gave the order: "Reward!"

Whom should be rewarded?

Of course, it's Qi Shanlin.

Everything they did was to uphold the dignity of the Yang royal family and the national laws. Their actions were reasonable and well-founded, so how could they not be rewarded?

This is a typical "loyal minister," a standard "pillar of the nation."

As for those who were killed, they can only accept their bad luck and pray that they will be smarter in their next life.

After this incident, all the powerful and wealthy families in the capital of the Great Yang Kingdom switched to a vegetarian diet.

It's not that they want to be vegetarian, but that they have to be.

If stepping on an ant is considered a crime of contempt of the law and results in execution in the street, then killing a chicken or a fish would surely lead to the extermination of the entire family.

Qi Shanlin has done this before.

Therefore, compared to the desire for food, a vegetarian diet is the safest option.

If you can't afford to offend them, you can at least avoid them.

Just as these high-ranking officials and nobles began to adopt a vegetarian diet, the prefectural government turned its attention to the capital's defense forces.

The city's garrison was not under the jurisdiction of the prefectural government, and the two sides had always kept to themselves.

But now, the river is actively encroaching on the clean water, and it can't even be called encroaching; it's more like overflowing.

More than twenty city defense generals were arrested in one go.

By the time the officers from the Military Guard arrived, the evidence was irrefutable, with all the necessary witnesses and evidence in place, including signed confessions and fingerprints.

Even if you wanted to vouch for someone to deny their actions, you wouldn't know where to begin.
