Chapter 1170 Before the Trial
Since Lin Chen became known as a ruthless man, he has always been at the top of the Xuantian world. Although other children have legends, the few who are in the limelight are also regarded as the future masters of the world.
But once a ruthless man appears, no one can compete with him. Let’s not talk about the fighting power of a ruthless man. Just the things that a ruthless man does are not something that others can do.
Most of the legends of others are just amazing achievements, but what Lin Chen did is the topic of discussion.
Let’s not talk about the small fights when he first emerged. From the time he took over the position of the head of the Qunfang Pavilion as a man, it was a road full of sparks and lightning, which was dazzling.
Later, he ascended to the Shenmen Sect, was defeated by Haitang, and was reversed by Su Yi. The past melted the hearts of countless girls.
Later, outside the Golden Crow’s nest, he fought against the new kings of the two demon tribes and became the king of kings!
In the East Region, he sold the fairy Yuechan, destroyed the mountains and rivers, and the palaces, and the female sword fairy shocked the world!
Fengtian, helped the fairy Linglong get rid of her, put an end to Chen Tianqi, and put an end to the chaos of evil demons.
The holy city of Moyi destroyed the ancient evil god and finally disappeared for two years.
Two years later, he returned and killed Prince Zuo. The first death of the half-step emperor in the world was in his hands.
Now, he joined the border army and killed the black dragon. His record shocked the world.
And now, the army is angry and killed the superiors, which has attracted the attention of the world again, and the next council will be watched by everyone.
Legendary life!
Perhaps with the continuous advancement of the brilliant world, someone will be able to copy Lin Chen's record in the future, but I am afraid that no one can do Lin Chen's step-by-step legend.
What is the top stream, this is it.
As for Lin Chen's acceptance of the trial of the council, the world has long been discussing it. Some people angrily called for Lin Chen to be executed, otherwise where is the military law and the rules. Some people think that Lin Chen must have a reason for this and should be investigated. Some people scolded that he should be executed for disturbing the border army when the race was intact. Some people refuted that it was because the demon race was powerful and Lin Chen's combat power was unparalleled and he could kill the enemy, so he should not be killed.
Countless opinions collided, and there were countless rumors. I don't know how many versions were divided, and they could not be unified.
So, everyone was looking at the Council, waiting for the final result.
On weekdays, the undercurrents under the sun surged, and those right and wrongs were covered up and could not be explained. If there was injustice, there was injustice, and it eventually fell into the dust and buried.
But now, the solemnity of the Council, the attention of the world, and the consciousness of the entire human race are concentrated, which is not something that can be decided by power, or even judged by legal principles.
What the world wants will be the simplest, which is a kind of centripetal force formed by the human race since its birth, that is, justice!
If everything is put off the stage.
There may be no justice for a small group of people.
There may be no justice for a large group of people.
But when things are put on the table, facing the entire human race, it is the collection of the human race's will, so justice is needed, otherwise, the spirit of the human race, the centripetal force of the human race condensed by countless sages, will disintegrate.
If even justice is gone, then the so-called righteousness of the human race will no longer exist.
"Zuo Jianqiu, he is really cunning, how to judge him now?"
"Just execute him according to military law."
"Is the military law a matter for Lin Chen alone? Chang Xianfeng, Tie Zhan or other people, the series behind them, can the Emperor Li be the only one? When the time comes, how to deal with it, all military law?"
"This matter involves too many people, and it will be brought to the Council, and the direction will be uncontrollable. All parties have their own interests. It is not so easy to kill Lin Chen!"
"If he commits such a serious crime and does not die, is there still justice?"
"Justice? Council When will it become justice? The whole world is watching. Do you really think that everyone is only staring at Lin Chen? "
"Look, Zuo Jianqiu bypassed the military law enforcement and directly used the review committee procedure. He must have no good intentions!"
"Then let's see. To be honest, the army is in a mess now, with many factions. It's time to clean it up while someone dares to break the old rules!"
Each family is exchanging opinions. Of course, there are many people who want Lin Chen to die, but in the final analysis, there are only a few who have a grudge against Lin Chen. The attitudes of the others are ambiguous.
So no one can be sure what the final result will be. It is common sense that Lin Chen is sentenced to death, but as long as Lin Chen dies, then correspondingly, some people must die, otherwise there will be no justice.
What will happen in the end depends on how the game is played at that time.
Grand Marshal's Mansion.
In the Wujian Prison, the formation is running, like a pile of bricks and stones. This place is one of the cores of the Great Wall Formation. It is the hard work of the human race for generations and is as solid as a rock.
Lin Chen is now in this cage of hell.
"Sir Lin Chen, we meet again," Yuwen Mu saluted. He looked like a refined scholar, but now that there was no shadow transmission array between them, he looked quite fragile.
He was not good at fighting, but no one in the army could look down on him, and his orders had to be obeyed even by half-step emperors.
Lin Chen also returned the salute and looked at him in silence.
Yuwen Mu smiled, gestured to Lin Chen to sit down, and said, "I was worried that you would not stop and would continue to kill, but now I am relieved."
"The Great Wall has a deep foundation and many strong people. I probably can't continue to kill," Lin Chen said, which was also true.
If he could kill through the Great Wall alone, then what about the Southern Ju Demon Kingdom? He would just surrender to the demon clan and become a slave.
If he continued to kill, he would probably die.
"Then you are still so crazy that you want to kill even if you are sentenced to death!" Yuwen Mu said.
"The dead can't speak, let me speak for them," Lin Chen said. He didn't know the consequences of doing this, but someone had to do it.
"Well, it's hard for you." Yu Wenmu sighed, and then asked, "You can actually escape. I believe that Shi Jingcheng may be able to kill you with the power of the Great Wall, but he can't stop you. And as long as you live, there will be no way to stop you." You dare to do anything, you really scared some people this time."
"I planned to leave, but that was a bad idea after all, and since the Generalissimo bypassed the Military Law Enforcement Council procedure, I decided to stay and see," Lin Chen said.
Regardless of the reason for the mass killing, according to military law, he must be executed. Lin Chen himself knew this very well.
Under military law, there is no justifiable reason.
But the Generalissimo bypassed the Military Law Office and tried the case with a higher-level council. That was different. The Generalissimo obviously did not want to resolve the matter in accordance with military law.
Then, the results should be different.
This is the reason why Lin Chen is willing to stay and be captured.
Some people distinguish between right and wrong, and some people talk about interests. There are all kinds of people in this world. They are either black or white. That only exists in the fairy tale world. The real world is more of a gray between white and black.
Lin Chen believed that with the position of generalissimo, he would not be on the wrong side, but he also did not believe that with the position of generalissimo, he would not pay attention to the interests of the human race.
Right and wrong are important, but so are interests!
Lin Chen went on a killing spree and shocked the world. He broke the limit of thirteen on both sides and was unmatched by anyone in the universe. How could the Generalissimo want to kill him like this? He was of great use value!
Killing Lin Chen would be a real waste and would have no benefit to the human race.
Yu Wenmu smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you can see clearly. You are definitely not a hot-blooded reckless man."
"Senior, that's ridiculous." Lin Chen had no expression.
Yu Wenmu didn't care at all. He poured Lin Chen a cup of tea and said with a slight smile: "When the perspective is lowered to an individual, right and wrong are everything, but when the perspective is raised to the entire human race, personal gains and losses, right and wrong, are insignificant. , what is valued is the interests of the entire human race!”
Lin Chen frowned, but did not refute.
Everyone has their own position. The position is different, the perspective is naturally different, and the attitude is naturally different. However, there are so many human beings in the world. Some people have a small structure, and their perspective is only about personal rights and wrongs. Some people have a structure. Big, the perspective is the entire human race!
How to unify?
"So this council will discuss your personal rights and wrongs, as well as the gains and losses of the human race. When the two are combined, it is justice. Grand Marshal, I want to trade justice for your life!" Yu Wenmu said with a smile.
Lin Chen's eyes flashed slightly. He had some guesses, but he was still a little surprised when the other party said it so straightforwardly.
"So, what's the price?" Lin Chen asked.
Everything has a price, and if you can still live with such a serious crime, you have to pay a huge price.
"I need you to do a task that seems to be fatal." Yu Wenmu was also direct.
Lin Chen smiled, this is fair.
"Okay, now let's talk about personal rights and wrongs. We don't have much time. List the people you want to kill and I will deal with them," Yuwen Mu said.
"Your senior think tank Zhou Wang," Lin Chen said.
When Yu Wenmu heard this, he was very calm and showed no surprise at all. He frowned and said, "Is this the only thing left? That's all. I'll take care of the rest."
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Senior, do you know these things?"
Yu Wenmu didn't care about Lin Chen's attitude. He just smiled and said, "The composition of the army is originally composed of various forces from the nine regions. Everyone has their own forces behind them. It would be strange if there was not an intricate network of interests."
"But as long as the military orders are effective and the army always maintains its combat effectiveness and loyalty to the human race, it will turn a blind eye to some things."
"To be honest, I didn't know about your incident this time. If I had known it, I would have stopped it. We don't want you to be killed by the demon clan. Of course, just because I didn't know beforehand doesn't mean that I can't have the evidence now and want to investigate. You can find out!”
Lin Chen felt a little bitter and said: "A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. There will always be a time when you can't control it, right?"
"There are all kinds of people in the world. We need people like us to maintain such a huge army, but aren't there people like you? If you come out every once in a while, kill one, we will follow and kill again." It’s just fine,” Yuwen Mu said.
Lin Chen opened his mouth, feeling a little breathless.
He was thinking about what he would do if he were in the position of generalissimo.
Seeing this, Yu Wenmu laughed and said, "You don't have to think so much. We are different and have different positions. You don't need to bring in anyone else's perspective to look at the problem. You do what you think is right, and we do what we think is right. That’s all.”
"Teach me", Lin Chen clasped his fists.
"Okay, then I'll leave first, but you should be prepared first, things may not necessarily develop in the direction we want." Yu Wenmu stood up, bowed, and walked out.
Lin Chen sat there, adjusting his breath quietly, getting used to the newly acquired power.
After breaking through the limit of thirteen on both sides, Lin Chen had some insights again and had absolute confidence in breaking through the limit of thirteen on one side of his mysterious power.
Moreover, the resonance caused when both sides broke the limit was astonishing to Lin Chen himself. It seemed that there was some kind of terrifying power hidden, but even Bai Shu could not answer it.
Also, Bai Shu cannot understand the world of Breaking Limit Thirteen.
But it was just a feeling, and it did not last. Lin Chen judged that perhaps it would take all three sides to break the limit of thirteen before the power of resonance could become real.
Lin Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and his fingers rubbed a ring between his fingers.
That was the ring from Ji Yan, belonging to the gods.
Lin Chen was helpless with this ring, unable to detect it, and difficult to use it. It would only react when Ji Yan was in danger.
However, if it was not an illusion, when Lin Chen broke the limit of thirteen on both sides and caused resonance, the ring did react.
"God, hum!" Lin Chen snorted.
Because it was an emergency, the council was held on the third day after the procedure was launched. The representatives participating in the meeting came from the nine regions of the Central Plains. Most of the giant forces sent envoys, but the degree of importance was different. Some were just present, and some would participate in the discussion.
Only the two terrifying sects in the Western Regions, Buddhism and the Holy Hall, did not express any opinion on this, and no one sent anyone to participate.
But the two channels also spoke to support the final resolution of the council.
At the meeting, attendees were entering. They came from different forces and represented different interests. They walked and talked in groups of three or four.
"What do the Buddhist sect and the Holy Hall mean? They don't even want to attend, but they say they support the resolution. It's really strange."
"You don't know?"
"Oh? Is there something inside?"
"You'll know later!"
Soon, the meeting room was full, and a large shadow transmission array was set up around it. The images here will be transmitted in real time so that the world can see the results of the review.
Everyone sat down, and soon there was a noise. It was the arrival of a big shot.
Duan Wusheng, the deputy leader of the Righteous Alliance and the dean of the Zhentian Saint Academy in the Northern Territory, walked in.
The Righteous Alliance is a union of the righteous forces in the world, and the Zhentian Saint Academy is a pillar in the Northern Territory. The saints of all generations were trained and educated in the Zhentian Saint Academy.
Even the light source was nominally stored in the Zhentian Saint Academy.
With such an identity, it is natural to be the deputy leader of the Righteous Alliance.
At this moment, Duan Wusheng walked in, followed by several strong men from the Northern Territory. They looked stern and did not communicate much. They sat down quickly.
Soon, there was another noise. People from the Central Territory Human Palace arrived. The leader was the current human king's younger brother, Ji Hongxuan, whose status was also amazing.
The two major human forces each sent out very important figures, which shows the importance they attach to the Council.
The two big men took the second seat, and the main seat was still empty.
No one knew who the temporary chairman of the Council was!
Time passed little by little, and the chairman still did not arrive. Everyone looked at each other, but Duan Wusheng and Ji Hongxuan were sitting quietly, so no one dared to ask anything.
But they did not keep everyone waiting for long. Not long after, an old man walked in from the outside. His hair and beard were all white, his back was a little hunched, and he was walking in slowly with a cane.
This old man had no aura fluctuations on his body. He was just a mortal!
However, the person waiting beside the old man was Yuwen Mu, the second-in-command of the entire Southern Army, which was shocking.
What was the identity of this old man?
When they saw this person appear, Duan Wusheng and Ji Hongxuan, who were still resting with their eyes closed, stood up and saluted the old man.
The representatives and envoys of the other giant forces, those old guys, also stood up and saluted respectfully!
The young people present dared not sit down, all stood up and saluted respectfully.
"No need to be polite, I was just too bored and came out for a walk, sit down", the old man waved his hand and laughed.
However, none of the big figures dared to sit down, they all waited until the old man walked to the main seat and sat down, and then dared to sit down.
"Senior, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look better again", Ji Hongxuan said with a smile.
"You kid only know how to say nice things", the old man laughed.
"Senior, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the North Territory for a stroll, Her Highness the Saint wants to see you very much", Duan Wusheng said to the smile.
"Why would that little girl see an old man like me?" The old man waved his hand.
Below, the spirit transmission was constantly, and they were all discussing this old man. After learning his identity, they were all shocked!
Song Xin!
Song Xin, this is a living legend. He is not from a prominent family and comes from a small state, but he is upright and takes it as his responsibility to eliminate violence and protect the good in his hometown.
After being selected by the Martial Temple, his martial arts gradually became perfect, but he has always been on the front line of slaying demons and eliminating monsters. His reputation is spread all over the world and he is respected by the righteous world.
In his early years, he went to the Southern Border Great Wall to resist the demons. He made great achievements in battle and was promoted to a marshal. Later, he was transferred to the Northern Border Great Wall. He had a terrifying record of one to one hundred casualties, which shocked the world.
Later, he was transferred back to the Central Region to settle the chaos of the Divine Dynasty and help the current Human King to succeed to the throne smoothly.
Later, he entered the Western Region to mediate the dispute between the two major faiths. Later, he went to the Eastern Region to resist the invasion of the sea tribe outside the coastline.
That era was indeed not as exciting as the brilliant world today, and the top-level combat power was much weaker. The ancient existence had never revived, and the gods were unwilling to manifest.
But that was the limitation of the times, not people.
Song Xin's legend and his integrity made the world respect him, and his qualifications and prestige, even if he did not have any position now and was just an idle cloud and wild crane, no force dared to despise him.
Only when he became the temporary speaker, others could not say a word, and the final judgment would be powerful!
No wonder, the two sects in the Western Region had no intention of intervening in this matter, but they expressed their position for the first time and would support the final decision of the Council.
Seeing Song Xin, the doubts were solved.
This is, the old legend, judging the new legend!
