The Punishment Hall, 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 owner of the Hall of Punishment is named Ye Lan, who sounds harmless to humans and animals, but he is a ruthless person. This person came from a humble background, and was favored by the elders of the Ascending Immortal Hall during an entrance examination. After joining the Nebula Sect, he rose at an astonishing speed and became a legendary figure in the sect.

When he was young, he was tied with Zhang Hengyu, the current Master Ziyun of Ziji Sect, as a duo.

It's just that later Zhang Hengyu endured for the sake of the sect's great plan, and gradually lost the vigor of his youth, which made Ye Lan's name even more resounding.

Later, he was favored by ancestor Hong Yun and became a core disciple. At the age of 40 or 50, he already possessed the strength of Wu Zong Jiuzhong, and was commented by the head that he would become the only one who would become Wu Wang in this life.

Ye Lan is not only powerful, but also upright and upright. As the Master of the Punishment Palace, he is impartial and selfless. Even if his master, Ancestor Hong Yun made a mistake, he would dare to accuse him face to face and punish him as he should.

Ancestor Hong Yun was not only not angry about this, but proud of it.

For Gu Tianyi, meeting such a palace master was both good and bad.

The advantage is that he will not be arbitrary because of Gu Tianyi's previous reputation, but will seriously investigate the matter and try to be as fair and just as possible.

The downside is that even if Mu Lao, Tian Xingzi and the head want to protect Gu Tianyi, they will not buy it.

Due to Gu Tianyi's special status, accompanied by two ancestors, Tian Xing and Xuan Xing, he entered the punishment hall, and Ye Lan personally came forward to deal with this matter.

In the grand main hall, Ye Lan sat at the head, looking seriously at Gu Tianyi and the others below.

The law enforcement elders of the Hall of Punishment stood on both sides with dignified faces. If ordinary disciples saw such a posture, they would have been terrified and slurred.

Gu Tianyi was neither humble nor overbearing, he looked up at Ye Lan.

This person's temples were slightly white, and he looked about the same age as Gu Yunfeng, with sword-shaped brows and star-eyed eyes, and a sharp-edged face with a domineering arrogance.

Before that, he had already heard the ins and outs of this matter and the explanations of both parties.

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.

"I just verified Lin Chen's body, and found that his blood, martial arteries and martial soul were all taken away by someone. There have been rumors in the sect before that you are a person who practiced magic skills and took away human martial soul. And, There are some conflicts between you and Lin Chen, which can be used as your motivation to kill him. Regarding these, what do you want to say?" Ye Lan's voice was bright and majestic.

All eyes in the hall were on Gu Tianyi. The oppressive force formed by dozens of Wuzong powerhouses cannot be underestimated.

Gu Tianyi was neither humble nor overbearing, and said bluntly: "I, Gu Tianyi, have never practiced magic arts from the beginning to the end. This rumor, in the final analysis, is the result of a certain elder in the punishment hall's lax handling of things."

"Besides, the Palace Master also said just now that I have the reputation of stealing people's martial souls in the sect, and I have the motive to kill Lin Chen. Once he dies and his martial soul is taken away, everyone will be the first to kill Lin Chen." The one who thinks of it will be me. If I really did this thing, why not destroy the body and leave the body as evidence of my crime?"

"Hall Master is a smart person, you should be able to think of this section."

Gu Tianyi's words made some sense. Many elders nodded secretly after hearing this, and Ye Lan also showed a thoughtful expression.

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

As soon as he opened his mouth, 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. This record can be found in the Bailian Temple. Therefore, even if you destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, it is difficult to get rid of the suspicion. So, you do the opposite Well, the purpose of leaving Chen'er's body behind is to make everyone think that someone else did it and blamed you."

"You little trick, how can you fool the old man? Moreover, when we arrived, the blood in Chen'er's corpse had not yet solidified, obviously he had just died. There was no one else besides the four of you, Isn't that enough evidence?"

Xuan Xingzi talked eloquently, and after accusing Gu Tianyi, his eyes fell on Ye Lan again, and he said in a blunt tone: "Ye Lan, I know that Hong Yun is on good terms with Baicao Garden. As his disciple, he There must be instructions for you. But this matter is of great importance, if you dare to cover up Gu Tianyi and bend the law for personal gain, this old man will definitely 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 these rules?" Tian Xingzi said coldly.

"If you talk about interference, it's because you colluded with Hong Yun and secretly instigated Ye Lan to protect the villain. What I did was just to give justice to the deceased, so what's wrong?" Xuan Xingzi said.

"Enough!" Ye Lan yelled angrily, looked down with a serious expression, and said, "Both of you are ancestors of the sect, so it's not proper to make a scene in the punishment hall!"

"Since entering the Hall of Punishment, this place is my biggest one. Even if the two are ancestors, I will not be polite at all if they break the rules here."

Ye Lan is indeed a ruthless person. He trained the two ancestors without any hesitation.

Tian Xingzi looked calm and said nothing. Xuan Xingzi clenched his fists tightly, trembling with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

To say that the Hall of Punishment was demolished is an angry word, even if it was him, he would not dare to behave wildly in the Hall of Punishment.

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

"Gu Tianyi, in addition to the fatal wound on Lin Chen's chest, there are also many sword wounds, as well as attribute damage such as cold air, thunder, and fire. These injuries are very suitable for the means controlled by the four of you. For these, do you have any knowledge? What do you want to say?" 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.

The ancestor Xuan Xing jumped up, pointing at Gu Tianyi regardless of his image, and shouted: "He admitted it, Ye Lan, did you hear that!"

"Ancestor Xuan Xing, don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Gu Tianyi chuckled and continued: "Although I admit that the four of us fought Lin Chen once, but that was three days ago. In that battle, Lin Chen was defeated by our joint efforts and fled. Although he was seriously injured, he was not fatal."

"With the resources in Lin Chen's hands, it is absolutely no problem to save our lives. During these 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 body. His body There is a layer of mysterious black air wrapped around it, and under this black air, even if he dies, he can still maintain the appearance when he just died."

Although what Gu Tianyi said was unbelievable, it coincided with the results of the examination of the corpse in the Hall of Punishment, and the credibility has also improved.

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

The elders in the Punishment Hall talked a lot.

But at this moment, Gu Tianyi showed a smile and said: "Master, this matter may not be that complicated. In the final analysis, it is still the martial soul that was taken away, which happened in the Wanshou Mountain Range more than three months ago." It's very similar to that."

"If I was wronged, who is most suspected?"

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