The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 78 - Punishment and Slander
"Tell me the truth, Zhan'er. What misunderstanding has happened? The enemy can trap at any time, break this union, but you have a chance to fix this."
Xue Zhan muffled the surroundings by speaking, "It wasn't me who killed him. I really don't understand what's going on. That time the 45th Elder was advising me, when I turned three seconds away from him all of a sudden he had lost his life"
"It doesn't make sense!" between the fierce 12th Elder, he climbed up the stairs, towards the stage where Xue Zhan was about to be executed.
"The 45th elder was a high-level martial arts expert, there would be no moves capable of killing him three seconds. Unless you're planning a murder for him, there's no need to explain why you did it. The devil is the devil!"
"Protect in hell! Rot in hell!" exclaiming dozens of disciples repeatedly while raising their swords, chanting death for him.
"I'm not lying!" bela Xue Zhan again.
"Elder, Elder!" A disciple ran towards the 12th Elder, saluting him and Kang Jian alternately. In his hand, he carried a piece of paper.
"What's wrong with you, don't know the situation?"
"We have searched the room of Xue Zhan's College Sister and found a suspicious letter on her desk." The young man hurriedly handed the paper with the droplets of bloodstains to him, the 12th Elder and Kang Jian read the contents of the message carefully.
The 12th Elder read the letter out loud in order to be heard by the hundreds of people in the courtyard of the Eternal Valley.
"We have killed the 45th Elder at your command, Young Master Zhan. This is a warning to the Eternal Valley that has oppressed you. For the next plan we await your direction."
Kang Jian looked at Xue Zhan in disbelief, the overwhelming shock that appeared on his face now as if he was looking for the answer from Xue Zhan's deathly pale face. Allegations for the charges of assaulting him are in succession. The louder screams were fixed on Xue Zhan who was now turning in disbelief.
His guess from the beginning had been fixed on the Ghost Jade Tower, the Ghost Gnawer. The man would definitely avenge himself, but Xue Zhan did not expect this fast.
"It was a pity that Kang Jian's disciple was a bloodthirsty demon. You should have listened to the advice of the late Elder, Senior Kang. You have brought demons into this college and caused the death of the 45th Elder. It's a big disaster."
Those words pierced Xue Zhan, he trembled violently, his red eyes staring intently at the 12th Elder. He was cornered by everyone and had no chance to explain because they were busy scolding him.
"Kill the devil!"
"This devil must be whipped to death! Like his predecessor demons who were put to death in the same way! There's no place for a murderous demon like you other than a hellish crust!"
Xue Zhan shouted, "I didn't kill anyone"
One loud whip hit the skin of his back, Kang Jian watched it all. Still do not believe in what has happened, have not dared to determine who is wrong or right.
He was sure Xue Zhan could not possibly do that. Yet all the accusations were directed at him, nor was there anyone to suspect other than Xue Zhan as the only person who was with the 45th Elder until he died.
Whip after whip struck Xue Zhan's back, red blood spewing out from the young man's mouth. Cold sweat pouring out on his temples endured the pain. A scarlet whip appeared on his back. Xue Zhan was trying to remain on his knees.
Xue Zhan's 100th whip began to waver, blood coming out of his nose as well as his mouth. He grasped the chain rope with both hands, trying to stay strong despite knowing the person who whipped him would not stop until he died.
'Did you really just get here on my trip? I've made master bear the shame of a lifetime, I can't even keep my promise to Emperor Ziran, instead making humans even more hateful to demons ... What nonsense have I been shouting?!' inner Xue Zhan, he was trying to resist the lash to 103. His body bowed, Xue Zhan spewed out a lot of blood.
"I'm sorry, Master. I didn't do it at all. Even if I die, I don't want to die with this regret. I-"
The whip grew louder, Xue Zhan spewed blood back. "Even if you have to die, I will not want to tarnish Master's name and make you lose your dignity in the martial world. Teacher bore the shame of a lifetime because of me. I'm a bad student and deserve this."
Kang Jian tightened his grip on the sword hilt. Her eyes are watering. Unable to see his student suffer this sad fate.
On the other hand, we don't know who is behind this. Xue Zhan did not have the ability to kill a 45th Elder-class warrior in three seconds. The situation is getting heated up around him. The Eternal Valley is now like a place of battle.
"I believe our destiny is not this short, Zhan'er, '" whispered Kang Jian, though now his student began to lose his sense of hearing due to the pain that left him numb all over. The young man's body began to lose balance several times, but he was able to stand firm and accept the lash despite saying he was innocent.
Two hours of punishment went on and Xue Zhan was still holding on.
"The 200th whip!" The shout from one of the Elders stirred up the spirits of the disciples who witnessed Xue Zhan's death sentence.
"Whip to death!"

"What's with that noise?"
Jiazhen Yan turned his head to the back, but the library head of the Eternal Valley gave a rough peck.
"Stop distracting and focus on your punishment! Write a copy of 20 pieces of regret if you want to see the excitement there!"
"You do it yourself if you want to hurry!"
"Hey, dissident boy. Senior Kang has been kind enough to help ease your punishment and just have you write 20 pieces of paper. Show me your little thank-you attitude, little shit boy!" The head of the library was really annoyed and returning to his place, the three of them were staring at each other. Feeling an unspeakable bad feeling.
*
The chain rope was flowed by blood that kept dripping onto the floor of the pale light blue ceramic stone, the pool of blood enlarged. His bones could no longer bear the weight of the body that was almost crushed, twelve tears on his back due to repeated whips had reached his ribs. Xue Zhan tilted, his chest up and down and could barely say anything more.
'Did you really just get here on my trip?'
Xue Zhan regretted it. He raised his face to look at the dozens of old faces that had been so muntab began to pity to see it now that was so sad.
The 250th whip had crushed his body but the demon was still able to hold on.
"He's a monster. The Eternal Valley had nurtured such a terrifying Monster, he should be killed immediately."
One of the Eternal Valley Teachers shuddered in horror watching the scene before him.
"Kill me by beheading me. This whip ... It's useless, my body has the ability to recover. If you wait for me to die this way you'll wait for hours."
Everyone could not believe that the demon was telling itself the capabilities of his body.
"Hey, demon. What makes you so stubborn? You tell me how to kill you the most powerful and ask to be beheaded? Are you too desperate and asking for an easier death? You have killed an Elder of the Eternal Valley! This kind of punishment is more appropriate for you!"
"Do it if you will until I die, I will not admit this is my fault. Even though he had to accept a thousand lashes .." - he growled with his mouth shedding blood.
Xue Zhan laughed weakly with blood continuously flowing from his mouth, "After all things have happened. I have embarrassed my Master. Do I deserve to live in this world?"
