Li Qingyao's words were tantamount to forcing me to a dead end.

If I don't want to watch my own uncle being beaten to pieces, I can only choose to kill the Hall of Rewards and Punishments.

At that moment, my hand pressed on the handle of the knife, and my eyes looked at Li Qingyao with murderous intent slightly exposed. The latter sneered: "Knife? If you want to draw a sword, you must also have the ability to fight your way out of the encirclement. What about your half-step sanctification? In this hall, there are at least three people on a par with you, as long as one person drags you down, not to mention Li Chongyang, even the three demon girls you brought will not escape death! ”

"You threaten me?" If I was just about to make a move, now I'm really murderous.

"Shut up!" Xiao Chenyan, who was sitting on the main seat, said in a deep voice: "Although Li Chongyang's crimes are not punishable, there are clear texts in the reward and punishment hall, which can be used to judge merit and punish crimes. Li Sin's exploits can completely offset Li Chongyang's crimes. ”

Li Qingyao's face sank suddenly, and he said: "Li Chongyang has committed a heinous crime, I don't believe it, you are a little-known junior in the art path, and you still have the achievements of the world!" ”

Li Qingyao was talking to me on the surface, but in fact he was embarrassing Xiao Chenyan.

Xiao Chenyan didn't understand what he meant, and said indifferently: "Lu Youe, can you tell me what merits Li Xian has?" ”

Lu Renjia opened his mouth and said: "Since his debut, Li Xi has searched for the Eight Immortal Golden Bones many times, and has drawn out the remnants of reincarnation for the main hall, which can be credited. ”

"Nonsense!" Li Qingyao said coldly: "Li Xian has an ambiguous relationship with Qu Mo, the head of the God Slaughter Sect, and Lan Ling'er, the head of the Immortal Sect, and even calls him a brother. His purpose of searching for the Eight Immortals Golden Bone has not yet been determined, how can it be used as a merit? ”

Gong Zheng also spoke: "The subordinates agree with the statement of the hall master Li, this point really cannot be judged as meritorious. ”

Xiao Chenyan said expressionlessly: "Go on." ”

Lu Renjia nodded and said: "Li Xian intercepted and killed the head of the Heaven Destroying Alliance in the reincarnation underground palace and blew up the reincarnation cave, which should be credited with great merit." ”

"Joke!" Li Qingyao said: "It is true that King Sheng Cheng died in the reincarnation cave, but who can prove that he died at the hands of Li Sin?" Besides, King Sheng Cheng is the biological father of Li Xian, and the person who killed his father should be cut with a thousand knives, and he can still remember his merits? ”

King Sheng Cheng did not die at my hands. However, apart from a few people who were present at the time, who knew the truth of the matter?

Li Qingyao finally proposed that I kill my father, which is tantamount to forcing me to choose.

If I admit that I killed King Shengcheng, then I will be guilty of killing my father. Regardless of whether the Temple of Reward and Punishment will attack me because of this, the spit of the people in the Divine Path alone is enough to drown me.

If I tell the truth, then a meritorious service in front of my eyes will be lost in vain, and I still can't save my uncle.

Xiao Chenyan said coldly: "We are now talking about merit, not about it." ”

Li Qingyao said disapplausively: "The subordinates are talking about merit!" Li Xin can't come up with evidence that he killed King Sheng Cheng, how can it be regarded as meritorious service? ”

Lu Renjia said: "On this point, I can find witnesses. Xuanyi She Xu Zhiliu was in the reincarnation cave at that time, and she could completely confirm the situation at that time. ”

When Lu Renjia waved his hand, Xu Zhiliu had already walked out from behind and told the situation at that time as it was.

Li Qingyao sneered: "So that's the case. King Sheng Cheng finally died in the hands of Yan Junyi, which is not Li Xi's credit at all! ”

Lu Renjia said coldly: "Hall Master Li can't help but use strong words, right?" Without Li Xian's bloody battle in the early stage, Yan Junyi could destroy his soul with one sword? Palace Lord, what do you say? ”

Gong Zheng was silent for a moment and then said: "Although King Sheng Cheng did not die in the hands of Li Sin, Li Cheng's exploits cannot be ignored. Li Xin's merit can be changed to chopping to beheading, and other punishments remain unchanged. ”

Changed the sentence to cut in half? Li Chongyang still has to die! The most important thing is that the soul is scattered and not removed, and the credit of the reincarnation cave is equivalent to throwing away in vain.

Just as I was about to speak, Lu Renjia made a slightly calmer gesture to me: "Li Xian killed the evil Chu Qingqiu in the library building, this is the merit of the world......"

Before Lu Renjia finished speaking, Li Qingyao said coldly: "This is not any merit. Chu Qingqiu was already surrounded by us, and it was only a matter of time before Chu was eradicated. The hall master was reluctant to order a general attack, I'm afraid that he was hiding his own selfishness, right? ”

Li Qingyao's words were tantamount to tearing his face with Xiao Chenyan.

Xiao Chenyan naturally couldn't be silent any longer: "Hall Master Li, what do you mean?" ”

Li Qingyao did not back down and said: "My battle hall could have rushed into the library building and killed Chu Qingqiu, but the hall master repeatedly delayed time, but instead let Li Xin take advantage. I'm afraid that the hall master has long wanted to give this world-building merit to Li Xin, right? ”

My brows moved slightly, and the corners of my eyes unconsciously looked at Xiao Chenyan, the latter's face was extremely gloomy, and there was a hint of chill in my eyes when I looked at Li Qingyao.

At that moment, I seemed to understand something. Since ancient times, rewarding meritorious deeds and even making meritorious contributions on the battlefield has been a kind of science. Who should make meritorious contributions, how to make meritorious contributions, and meritorious rewards have never been as simple as one plus one. A seemingly simple problem may involve the interests of countless people, or even a game between giants.

Just like when Kangxi pacified the three feudatories in the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Peigong had already come to the city, and he was about to destroy the vassal king Wu at the snap of his fingers, but Kangxi changed the generals with a holy decree, and took away the immortal work of pacifying the three feudatories from Zhou Peigong's hands and handed it over to Tuhai, the general of the Eight Banners. This involves the dispute between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty and the emperor's mental tricks, which is not something that can be explained in just a few words.

Xiao Chenyan, as the master of the Great Hall of Reward and Punishment, also needs to balance the five halls. He gave me the credit for killing Chu Qingqiu, and Bacheng also had a deep meaning.

Sure enough, Xiao Chenyan was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "Hall Master Li, let me ask you, did Chu Qingqiu die in the hands of Li Xian?" ”

"Yes!" Li Qingyao said: "However, Li Xin is just playing the role of an executioner. Since ancient times, no one has rewarded executioners for meritorious deeds and increased officials, right? ”

Xiao Chenyan said coldly: "Okay, if I let you fight Chu Qingqiu alone, can you win?" ”

"This ...... Of course not. Li Qingyao said: "However, if his subordinates lead the eight elders of the Battle Hall to attack and kill Chu Qingqiu, he will definitely die." ”

Xiao Chenyan sneered: "After you kill Chu Qingqiu, how many of those eight elders can survive?" I'm afraid only one or two people will be able to quit, right? Li Xian's killing of Chu Qingqiu is equivalent to saving the elite of the War Palace. If you are not convinced, you go and pick six elders to kill now, and I will give you all the credit for killing Chu Qingqiu to the Battle Palace, what do you think? ”

"This ...... This is simply ......" Li Qingyao obviously didn't expect Xiao Chenyan to be a scoundrel, and he was blocked by his words for a long time and didn't come up with a statement.

Xiao Chenyan glanced at the other party coldly and said, "Palace master, it's time for you to make a difference." ”

Gong Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "Li Chongyang's crime can be changed and beheaded, and the rest of the punishment remains unchanged." ”

Lu Renjia said coldly: "Palace master, it's inevitable that you're too stingy, right?" The six elders of the Battle Hall can't be exchanged for a chance to be exempted from scattering their souls? ”

Gong Zheng said: "First of all, Li Xi's motive for leaving the mountain remains to be discussed. Secondly, it is not clear whether Li Xian's killing of Chu Qingqiu was complete. I think it is very appropriate to fold the crime of Li Chongyang's beheading. ”

Li Qingyao said: "Lu You, you are also a person in the Dao of Arts, according to our understanding, killing Chu Qingqiu should cut off his soul." If Chu Qingqiu's soul is allowed to escape, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. At that time, Li Xian's merits and faults are not yet known, right? ”

Li Qingyao didn't wait for Lu Renjia to speak, so he preemptively said: "If Lu You's envoy can't find Li Xin's other merits, I will order the execution." The unjust souls of the disciples of the Battle Hall are still waiting for Li Chongyang's blood debt to be repaid! ”

Lu Renjia smiled and said, "Offering treasures to the Hall of Rewards and Punishments can also be converted into credits. As long as the five evil sects on Li Xi's body are taken out casually, it is enough to offset Li Chongyang's guilt. ”

I don't care, even if I take them all out, I won't frown. However, when Lu Renjia spoke, he gave me a look, probably not letting me take out all the evil sects at once. Could it be that the Hall of Reward and Punishment has also arrested others?

Before I could speak, I heard someone say, "Even if he takes out the five evil sects, he can't redeem his merits." ”
