To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Dominance of the Massacre II Elders
Meanwhile the Massacre elder had been standing right in the middle of the hall, he then announced. “The 12,754th trial of defendant Jou Den begins! no one is allowed to speak prematurely without exception for the Sect chief, the Grand Elder let alone the Pavilion Master.”.
The three people who previously stood behind the Pavilion Master moved forward, they each stood at different positions. One stood in front of the Pavilion masters, one stood in front of the spectators and one stood in front of Jou Den. While the Pavilion Master sat back in his place.
“You must have realized the power of those 3 people! Aside from the Pavilion Master, these three were Layer 9s which was equivalent to Pavilion Master Jou Gi. They were the 3 triumvirs who were also the most feared in the Law Pavilion other than the Slaughter Elders. Each of the three occupies a different position in the congregation. One becomes the Prosecutor, One becomes the Protector of the Witness and One becomes the Preventer. Meanwhile the Massacre Elder will be the judge of Court”
Immediately the person standing in front of Jou Den said, “Defend Jou Den, We sue you for the issue of harassment and persecution of honored guests of the sect, with layered demands!”
Soon those who were initially confused began to understand the mistake made by Jou Den. They were now curious as to who the guest that was harassed by him was and also for what reason Jou Den did it.
“No! That's not possible! It's Slander!” But then a thunderous voice with anger came from Jou Gi. He was really angry to hear the accusations made to his son.
“Who told you to talk? Even the Sect chief had to ask the Judge for permission!” But then the public prosecutor yells angrily and sends his powers to Jou Gi.
The unprepared Jou Gi was forced to retreat, while the one standing in front of the masters also reacted. He threw a huge blow at Jou Gi. Pavilion Master Jou Gi once again received a powerful attack. He clenched his hands, it was a shame to get such persecution.
“In the trial, whoever you are and how high your position in the sect has no effect at all. Here the Judge and Prosecutor are running the trial!” This time the Witness guard spoke, he did not intervene because he had hit Jou Gi before.
Jou Gi who felt humiliated wanted to attack again but then the Slaughter Elder who became the judge spoke up. “You can speak and be a witness for Jou Gi but before that you have to listen to the demands of the Prosecutor!” With that Jou Gi paused his intention, he sat back down with an insulted face.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor began to explain his charges in detail. The sect elders were shocked to hear Jou Den trying to harass Princess Yewan who was the young elder of the Eternal Moon sect when he was weak.
This was also what made them understand why Grand Elder Mei was taking part in the trial this time around. The elders who from the beginning disliked Jou Den and his father nodded in agreement, they started to comment the sword and blame Jou Den.
“I agree. Jou Den must be severely punished so that we can send out a satisfactory explanation from the sect of the Eternal Moon!”
“From the beginning I did not like Jou Den because of its disgusting nature. Several times the female disciples from the inner and outer sects had to endure grief and end up killing themselves after being soiled by her. But he always escaped punishment for the help of Pavilion Master Jou Gi! Today even the sect head was unable to protect him anymore! Hahaha.”
Their conversation was heard by the witness guards, making the latter stare intently at the three. “Do you guys also want to get a part like Master Jou Gi?!” The three hurriedly closed their mouths in fear.
After the prosecution service gave its explanation, it was the judge's turn to give Jou Den a chance to defend himself.
“I didn't do it! At that time I was not aware, there were people trying to trap me with this!” Jou Den said honestly.
The Massacre Elder again spoke, “Do you have any evidence that you were really framed by someone?”
Jou Den wanted to answer, but he remembered that the entire pill he had consumed. Only the remaining imposter Pill was given specifically by his father. If he mentioned the pill then not only would it aggravate his sentence but it would also drag his father to come with him. So he decided not to mention the evidence.
Seeing Jou Den not answering, the Judge again asked, “Do you have a witness?”
Jou Den nodded, he looked at his father. Jou Gi did not waste much time hurriedly standing up and said he could testify for his son.
Although somewhat unhappy with the actions of Jou Gi, but the Judge of the court still allowed it.
