Chapter 1108: Forced Blasphemy

"This is so inappropriate, Fellow Daoist Aged Spirit!" Bai Xiaochun said, his voice echoing back and forth in the enormous main hall. “We must act on evidence! Marquis Zi Lin was slandered, and we need proof of who did it! I find it hard to believe that the mighty Celestial Ghost of the Emperor-Vile Dynasty will slander a trivial demi-god!

"Except .. Our Marquis Zi Lin successfully offended the Heavenly Ghost Mother. But if he did, then it wouldn't matter if he felt safe in Godsifter Prefecture. The Ghostmother can easily enter without anyone noticing it and just kill her! ”

Bai Xiaochun left the gods in the hall extremely shaken, including Marquis Zi Lin. As for the Heavenly Aged Spirit, he simply narrowed his eyes and allowed Bai Xiaochun to speak. He knew that Bai Xiaochun had been appointed to serve in the second immortal region by Saint-Emperor himself, and had the same official authority as himself.

Right now, he did not regret taking down the Giant Ghost King to provoke Bai Xiaochun. In his opinion, the second immortal domain should only have one voice of authority, and in fact, Saint-Emperor himself hinted that he also felt the same way. Whatever it was, the Heavenly Aged Spirit knew that he had to hit Bai Xiaochun's credibility and reputation.

It didn't matter that Bai Xiaochun didn't stand out, and spent all his time practicing cultivation. For a Heavenly Aged Spirit, it was not enough. He wanted to really make a move, and because of that, he stripped the title of Giant Ghost King from his position as a guide. When Bai Xiaochun was then powerless to do anything about it, it would ensure that everyone in the second immortal domain knew that the Heavenly Aged Spirit was the only true authority.

However, he had to admit that in some ways, he had underestimated this Heavenspan King. It was something he began to realize once the rumors about Marquis Zi Lin reached his ears.

"Don't you see how suspicious all this is !?" Bai Xiaochun said, forcefully laying his hands on his throne arm. The gods in the hall all struggled to breathe. Although Bai Xiaochun's words were not very sharp, given his status and the level of his cultivation base, they were still like deadly weapons that penetrated all the way to the souls of the gods.

“Ten of you are watching the capital. Are you telling me that you really can't see how strange all this is? Think moment!

"I'm glad I'm here. I can only imagine how things are going with only ten of you around. Is this really how you usually handle infidelity? All right, let me ask you seven questions …. You said that Marquis Zi Lin did not betray our country, but ... did you risk your life on it ?! " He almost shouted his last sentence, causing something like a tempest to whip through the main hall. The faces of the ten gods turned pale in response, and they shivered and involuntarily retreated slightly.

None of the gods dared to act as a guarantor for Marquis Zi Lin. However, Marquis Zi Lin was under quite such pressure, so because of that, he steeled himself, clasped his hands, and said, "May Heaven, I am innocent! Someone is slandering me! ”

But in his heart, he cursed. He might have had his doubts before, but at this moment, he was certain that Bai Xiaochun was the one responsible for the slander. He did not dare to say it, of course. There was also no one else in the hall, although they all came to the same conclusion …. Everyone thought the same thing, but saying it out loud was a different story.

A demigod cannot openly criticize a celestial object, whatever the conditions. And because of that .. this intersection is destined to be one-sided.

"I am not qualified to plead not guilty" Bai Xiaochun continued. “We need proof. Maybe in another situation we can let this matter slide, but this is different... It is a matter of betrayal! The problem of losing the entire prefecture! Without reliable evidence to assess the matter, we should let His Imperial Majesty make the final decision! ” He did not even see Marquis Zi Lin as he spoke; he stared directly at the Heavenly Aged Spirit.

Marquis Zi Lin was ready to explode, but barely managed to control.

"The disappearance of the prefecture has nothing to do with me!" she said. "When a mighty celestial like Ghostmother moves, a demigod like me can't do anything !!"

Bai Xiaochun's eyes widened. "Shut up! Better just shut up. But now that you mention it, I want to know why the Celestial Ghostmother did not actually kill you! And not only did he not kill you, he just let you go !? You said you didn't betray our nation. Good. Where is the evidence ?! ”

Marquis Zi Lin was really going crazy. He trembled where he stood, a blue pulse protruding on his face. He could sense the killing intent in Bai Xiaochun, and also realized that the other gods seemed to be moving away from him. He opened his mouth to say something, but that was when the Heavenly Aged Spirit finally intervened.

"Enough!" Frowning, the Heavenly Age Spirit looked at Bai Xiaochun with narrowed eyes. "I will be the guarantor of Marquis Zi Lin," he said coldly. "Satisfied, King Heavenspan?"

Marquis Zi Lin could not be more excited, and immediately decided that he would devote his life to serving the Heavenly Aged Spirit!

Rising to his feet, he began to speak with a roar that seemed to be filled with pain and bitterness.

“I am not satisfied with your attitude, Heavenly Aged Spirit!

"I'm not satisfied that the Saint-Emperor Dynasty has apparently become a place where evidence doesn't count for anything, and a simple guarantee can solve all problems!

"I am not satisfied that your trust is worth more than the safety of countless citizens of the Saint-Emperor Dynasty !!"

His words were spoken with courage and conviction. To most of the gods present, it was as if a completely different Bai Xiaochun had come, and they looked surprised.

The Heavenly Aged Spirit's eyes were ice-cold as he looked at Bai Xiaochun. He opened his mouth to reply, but there was no way Bai Xiaochun would give him that chance. Flicking his sleeves, he continued his speech.

"Now that this matter has been revealed, it doesn't matter whether you guarantee or not Marquis Zi Lin is innocent. The door has been opened to a lot of criticism. For one thing, isn't it very suspicious that the Ghostmother will say what she did, and such a commotion will happen ?!

“You guarantor, Heavenly Aged Spirit? Exceptionally well. In that case, I will not seek the soul of Marquis Zi Lin. But until all investigations have been done, we need to prevent anything unexpected from happening. Therefore, to fulfill the responsibility given to me by Saint-Emperor, and also to protect the safety of the countless citizens of the Saint-Emperor Dynasty, he said, I hereby order that Marquis Zi Lin be imprisoned immediately! Only after the investigation is complete and the truth is revealed can he be released! ”

At this point, the gathered gods realized what was happening.

“So, it was because Marquis Zi Lin took the position of Giant Ghost as the guide of the Godsifter Prefecture…. This was Bai Xiaochun's counterattack! " The ten gods all lowered their heads and turned their gazes, hoping not to get involved in the conflict between the two sky gods. Although they were all loyal to the Heavenly Aged Spirit, they also needed to avoid offending Bai Xiaochun.

Previously, when Bai Xiaochun did not stand out, they might have had the courage to say something offensive. But now, they realized that he was really a wolf in sheep's clothing. His methods were rather crude and cruel, but they were effective. Moreover, he seemed to have the ability to convince Heavenly Ghost Mother to help him.

The counterattack was a bit too obvious, and was very lacking in skill. It was as if he had just picked up a lump of dog poop and applied it to his opponent's face.

A person who would resort to such cruel methods was even afraid to think about, and was the type that no one would provoke.

Marquis Zi Lin was also aware of what had happened, and as a result, his eyes were red in panic.

He knew that if he was imprisoned as Bai Xiaochun ordered, then there was no way he could clear his name so easily. In fact, who knew what other things could happen outside that would make things worse for him? His intuition told him that if he was imprisoned, there was probably an eighty percent chance he would never again see the light of day.

"Your Heavenly Majesty," he said trembling, "I was unjustly accused! Really am!" Perhaps if Bai Xiaochun handled things with finesse, he wouldn't be as adept as him. But seeing how effective his bald spot tactic was made him fear Bai Xiaochun would go to great lengths to achieve his goal.

As his terror increased, he looked to the Heaven Aged Spirit. After all, it was the Heavenly Aged Spirit that had sent him to the Godsifter Prefecture to begin with. He had initially hesitated to go there, but the Heavenly Age Spirit had given the order, and he had no choice but to obey them.
