Master Qingxu was also dumbfounded. Rong Tong and him stared at each other for a long time, and the other party gave her a helpless look.
"The questioning time for the general judge is over. Will the defendant choose to confront the plaintiff?" The female voice finally asked her.
Li Chaoxian, who was in the light barrier, had already turned his head. If he hadn't been too injured and covered up too much, he would have been unable to conceal his ecstatic expression. Everything is developing according to what the "Immortal Envoy" said. No one in the Asking Heart Barrier can lie. If he hasn't done it, he hasn't done it. This female cultivator can't deny it at all. She has no choice but to plead guilty!
Baoqin also reminded Rong Tong in his consciousness, "Miss, no matter how evil he has done, he deserves it. But judging from the facts, the reason why he was imprisoned was not because of abducting a good girl, but because of your 'framing'. Ask your heart The barrier faces the true heart, and my cultivation is not enough to cover up the spells left by Emperor Xuan. If I can't lie, I really can't think of any other reasons to defend you."
"Yeah, I can't think of it either." Rong Tong folded his hands and looked back at Li Chaoxian on the ground indifferently, "What you just said, if I admit this, what will be the price?"
"Regardless of the distinction between monks and mortals in the Questioning Heart Barrier, there is only a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. Apologies and compensation are definitely unavoidable. If you follow the laws of the most stringent period back then, you may be imprisoned."
"But the Heart-Questing Barrier is just a sentencing agency, isn't it? The specific execution is a matter for the Law Enforcement Hall? Do they dare to put me in jail?"
"They must not dare. But the problem is that the results of the trial in the Asking Heart Barrier are public. In other words, now that you plead guilty, everyone in Kunlun will know the whole story immediately, although the atmosphere in the world today is not as clear as before. , Miss, you’re afraid…”
"I'm afraid my reputation will also be ruined. Now is the time when I am slowly getting started with Tusi. If something like this happens at a critical moment, not only will my subordinates lose all prestige, but even the Presbyterian Church will think that I am completely embarrassed. ."
"So, Miss, do you have any concerns?"
"Well, if you want to make a difference, sometimes you have to find another way."
Li Chaoxian saw an extremely contemptuous smile on the face of the overly beautiful female cultivator, and his heart tightened instinctively. The next moment, he finally heard her speak for the first time. Her voice was extremely light, but her tone was filled with indifference. ——
"I applied to change the nature of this case. As a part of another case, this case should have special immunity!"
"Transform...nature?" Qingxu was a little confused.
"There is indeed such a precedent in the records I have read." Feng Yuji was obviously stunned when he heard Rong Tong's choice. Now he began to slowly recall,
"It seems that it was during the reign of the first head of the Law Enforcement Hall. It was still during the war. For a military plan, the Kunlun Grass Gray Snake Line stretched thousands of miles and laid many hidden lines. As a result, there was a misunderstanding. There was a link in the hidden line. The person involved took the matter to the Questioning Heart Barrier. The Border's rigorous interrogation almost leaked the military information, but the head of the law enforcement hall rushed to the front line to call back Xuan Huang, and temporarily added the item of changing the nature of the case to the formation. , and we avoided big trouble.”
"So there are so many things involved behind such a small matter? How much time will it take me?!" The female cultivator started to get a little irritable, so Qingxu had to comfort her first and ask her to calm down.
…
"Please specify, the barrier will automatically determine whether its level is higher than the case and directly related to the case."
Rong Tong looked at Li Chaoxian who was kneeling on the ground playfully. Contrary to her leisurely expression, were the words that came out of her mouth like thunder:
"An official in the Siji Hall is suspected of embezzling Kunlun's spiritual veins. As a household chief minister, I am currently under investigation."
Master Qingxu was stunned by her words and sat on the Taishi chair. He didn't know what to say for a moment. The female cultivator also looked surprised.
Feng Yuji was the first to react from the surprise. He looked at Rong Tong, hesitated to speak, and finally decided to remain silent for the time being and wait and see what would happen.
The slender girl was seen standing with her hands behind her back, while the kneeling mortal showed obvious confusion and fear.
The girl was calm and asked in an understatement like gossip:
"And this Li Chaoxian happens to have a direct relationship with the principal criminal in this case. I wonder if this counts as a direct connection?"
She has indeed been secretly collecting and verifying the corruption of Kunlun's spiritual veins, and Li Chaoxian is indeed Jin Guangzhen's bastard... Look at how close he is to his maternal uncle, how dear he is!
Haha, it’s just a large lie detector anyway. You can't lie, right? I still have a way to take advantage of you!
"The barrier is judging... The use of 'Past Past' has ended. The defendant showed no signs of lying. The barrier judgment passed!"
Li Chaoxian felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, and his mentality suddenly collapsed. He couldn't understand what the female nun said about "transforming the nature of the case", but he vaguely understood that the female nun was trying to use the relationship between himself and his uncle Zeng as a reason, and this result It seems that Jie actually agreed! !
He never imagined that his biggest supporter would one day become an excuse to prevent him from "redressing his grievances".
He was so panicked that he broke into cold sweat. The "Immortal Envoy" never said what to do after such an unexpected incident. What will he do next? What else can he do next...
"The 'application for changing the nature of the case' was successful, and the Wenxin Barrier is about to be closed. Please provide the plaintiff with 3,000 units of spiritual energy to pay for the barrier's operation costs!"
"It turns out it's a paid use! I said that if it was so easy to enter the Heart-Questioning Barrier back then, wouldn't the entire Kunlun world be in a state of uproar over trivial matters?" The female cultivator on the seat heard this and said, A look of surprise.
"Aura... three thousand units?" Li Chaoxian was a little confused, "But we need three thousand spirit beads? I... I don't have any money with me this time. Can I give me a few days to raise funds?"
"Please provide the plaintiff with three thousand units of spiritual energy to pay for the cost of operating the barrier! Please provide the plaintiff with three thousand units of spiritual energy to pay for the cost of operating the barrier!" The barrier just repeated coldly.
"Silly!" The female cultivator couldn't help but laugh, "The spiritual energy stored in the spirit pearls and spiritual stones is called 'death spiritual energy'. The spiritual energy measured in 'units' refers to the living energy refined by the monks in the body. Aura'. How can you, a mortal, have that thing?!"
Li Chaoxian's eyes widened, "That... that little one... that little one..." He started to speak incoherently, feeling that his mind was in chaos, and the huge panic had seeped into his limbs like maggots attached to his bones.
"The third question, 'You will never regret it after nine deaths?', does it refer to this high price? No matter how sophisticated a formation is, running a spell that detects people's hearts and forcibly teleports the judge and the defendant must be very expensive. If the lawsuit wins, the spiritual power will be released by the defendant; if it loses, the plaintiff will have to bear everything." Rong Tong sighed in his heart, it was indeed very similar to the practice of modern courts.
"Three thousand units of spiritual power can almost make a golden elixir cultivator lose an entire realm. Monks in the foundation stage are more likely to never return to the path of immortality. It seems that even in the era of Emperor Xuan, the cultivation world is not fair. .At least the original intention of establishing the Heart-Asking Barrier was definitely not for mortals." Baoqin sighed with her.
"Don't think too much of the old times. Fairness is always relative." Rong Tong shook his head. The protective shield protecting Li Chaoxian had been removed. She walked up to him holding up her skirt,
"Okay, how about you tell me now, who is the person who taught you to enter the mind barrier?"
"I...he..." Li Chaoxian looked panicked. At this time, barrier warnings sounded from all directions.
"The plaintiff please pay the spiritual energy as soon as possible! Otherwise the barrier will activate the forced collection mechanism! Please pay the spiritual energy as soon as possible!"
Li Chaoxian was so frightened that he burst into tears. He seemed to be aware of the uneasy kindness of the person who arranged for him to come in step by step. With trembling lips and teeth, he knelt down in front of her feet and kowtowed desperately:
"Fairy aunt, fairy aunt - I know my mistake! Please forgive my life!! Please forgive me..."
"Okay -" Rong Tong frowned and interrupted him, "You should be honest first, and we will discuss the rest later!"
"Say it, little one! Just say it, little one! The one who led the young one out of the prison of the Military City and sent him here is——"
He suddenly lost the strength to speak and knelt on the spot with his eyes open. The fire on his left and right shoulders was extinguished one after another, and he instantly became a complete corpse.
The Questioning Heart Barrier has activated the forceful collection mechanism. Dead objects regard it as dead. Mortals have no spiritual energy, so they extract life. As for whether it is enough... Anyway, we will extract it first.
As a result, Li Chaoxian's three souls and seven souls were taken away, and he completely disappeared from the world.
Rong Tong cursed secretly, she shouldn't have asked such a crucial question at the end, she was setting a flag for herself! ! !
