The Hall of Punishment, one of the four halls of the Nebula Sect, is in charge of punishment and is the most authoritative place in the Nebula Sect.

The hall master of the Punishment Hall is named Ye Lan, who is harmless to humans and animals, but he is a completely ruthless person. This person came from a humble background, and was favored by the elders of the Ascension Immortal Hall in an introductory assessment, and after joining the Nebula Sect, he rose at an astonishing speed, and was a legendary figure in the sect.

When he was young, he was tied with Zhang Hengyu, the current Ziyun real person of the Ziji Sect, as a double hero.

It's just that Zhang Hengyu forbears for the sake of the sect's great plan, and gradually loses the sharpness of his youth, which makes Ye Lan's name even louder.

Later, he was favored by Hongyun Ancestor and became a core disciple. At the age of forty or fifty, he already has the strength of the Martial Sect Ninefold, and is commented by the head of the family as a person who will become a martial king in this life.

Ye Lan is not only strong, but also upright and upright. As the master of the punishment hall, the duke is selfless, even if his master, Hong Yun Ancestor, makes a mistake, he dares to accuse him in person, and he will be punished.

In this regard, Ancestor Hongyun was not only angry, but proud.

Encountering such a hall master, for Gu Tianyi, there are good and bad.

The good thing is that he will not be arbitrary because of Gu Tianyi's former reputation, but will seriously investigate the matter and be as fair and just as possible.

And the disadvantage is that even if Mu Lao, Tianxingzi and the head of the family come forward to protect Gu Tianyi, people don't buy it.

Due to Gu Tianyi's special identity, and the two ancestors of Tianxing and Xuanxing accompanied him, he entered the Punishment Hall, and Ye Lan personally came forward to deal with this matter.

In the magnificent main hall, Ye Lan sat on the top and looked at Gu Tianyi and the others below.

The law enforcement elders of the Punishment Hall stood on both sides, their faces were majestic, if an ordinary disciple saw such a posture, he would have already trembled with fright, and his speech was slurred.

Gu Tianyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and looked up at Ye Lan.

This person's temples are slightly white, and he looks about the same age as Gu Yunfeng, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like a knife, and an angular face with a domineering spirit that is not angry and arrogant.

Before that, he had already heard the ins and outs of the matter and the elaboration of both sides.

At this moment, Ye Lan and Gu Tianyi looked at each other and said, "Your name is Gu Tianyi, and you are the young patriarch of the Gu clan in Tianhuo City?"

"Yes. Gu Tianyi nodded.

"Lin Chen's body has just been verified, and it was found that his bloodline, martial veins and martial soul have all been taken away. And there were rumors in the sect before that you were a demonic person who cultivated demonic skills and snatched people's martial souls. Moreover, there are some contradictions between you and Lin Chen, which can be used as your motive for killing him. What do you have to say about this?" Ye Lan's voice was loud and full of majesty.

The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on Gu Tianyi, and the oppressive force formed by dozens of martial arts powerhouses should not be underestimated.

Gu Tianyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said bluntly: "My Gu Tianyi has not cultivated demonic skills from beginning to end, and this rumor, in the final analysis, is the result of a certain elder of the Punishment Hall who was not strict in handling things. ”

"Moreover, the hall master also said just now, I have a reputation for stealing martial souls in the sect, and I have a motive to kill Lin Chen. Once he dies and his martial soul is robbed, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind will be me. If I really did this, why don't I destroy the corpse and leave it as evidence of my guilt?"

"The hall master is a wise man, this verse, you should be able to think of it. ”

Gu Tianyi's words made some sense, many elders nodded secretly when they heard this, and Ye Lan also looked thoughtful.

"Oh, I knew you would say that. Xuan Xingzi sneered.

As soon as he spoke, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Gu Tianyi, when Chen'er died, you were all in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and this record can be found in the Hundred Refining Palace. Therefore, even if you destroy the corpse, it will be difficult to get rid of suspicion. So, you did the opposite, leaving behind the corpse of the dust, and the purpose was to make everyone think that someone else had done it, and blamed you. ”

"How can you fool the old man with such a little trick? Moreover, when we arrived, the blood in Chen'er's corpse had not yet congealed, and it was evident that he had just died. Isn't that enough evidence that there is no one else next to his body but the four of you?"

Xuan Xingzi talked eloquently, and after accusing Gu Tianyi, his eyes fell on Ye Lan again, and he said in a stiff tone: "Ye Lan, I know that Hong Yun is good friends with Baicao Garden, and as his disciple, he must also have instructions for you." But this matter is very important, if you dare to shield Gu Tianyi and bend the law for personal gain, the old man will have to demolish your punishment hall!"

"Xuan Xing, even if you are an ancestor, you must not interfere with the affairs of the Punishment Palace. Have you forgotten all these rules?" Tianxingzi said coldly.

"If you want to talk about interference, it is also you who colluded with Hong Yun and secretly instructed Ye Lan to shield the thief. What I have done is just to give justice to the deceased, so what's wrong?" Xuan Xingzi said.

"That's enough!" Ye Lan shouted angrily, looked down with a serious expression, and said, "Both of them are sect ancestors, and they are making a lot of noise in the Punishment Hall, what kind of system have they become!"

"Since I have entered the Punishment Hall, this is my biggest, even if the two of them are ancestors and break the rules here, I am not polite at all. ”

Ye Lan, really a ruthless person, trained the two ancestors, without any ambiguity.

Tianxingzi's expression was calm and he stopped talking. Xuan Xingzi clenched his fists, trembling with anger, but he was helpless.

It would be angry to say that he had demolished the Punishment Palace, even if it was him, he would not dare to spread wilderness in the Punishment Palace.

Unless, Ye Lan really bends the law for personal gain.

"Gu Tianyi, in addition to the fatal wound on his chest, Lin Chen's body also has many sword wounds, as well as attribute injuries such as cold, thunder, and flame. These injuries are very much in line with the methods that the four of you control, what do you want to say about these?" Ye Lan said.

"I admit that these injuries on his body were caused by the four of us. Gu Tianyi said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Xuanxing Ancestor jumped up, pointed at Gu Tianyi without caring about his image, and shouted: "He admitted it, Ye Lan, did you hear it!"

"Xuanxing Ancestor, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Gu Tianyi chuckled lightly and continued: "Although I admit that the four of us had a fight with Lin Chen, it was three days ago. In that battle, Lin Chen was defeated by our joint efforts and fled, although he was seriously injured, it was not fatal. ”

"With the resources in Lin Chen's hands, it is absolutely no problem to save his life. In the past three days, we have been hunting fierce beasts, and we have never seen Lin Chen's face, until just now, we found Lin Chen's corpse. His corpse was wrapped in a layer of mysterious black gas, under which he could still maintain the appearance of when he first died, even if he died. ”

Although what Gu Tianyi said was incredible, it was consistent with the results of the corpse examination in the Punishment Palace, and its credibility was also improved.

"This matter is indeed a bit complicated......"

The elders in the Hall of Punishment were talking.

But at this moment, Gu Tianyi smiled and said, "Hall Master, this matter may not be so complicated. In the final analysis, it was still the martial soul that was taken away, which was very similar to the incident that happened in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range more than three months ago. ”

"If I was wronged, who is the most suspicious?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Ningjing.
