Even in the Legal System Court, Xu Yi's beauty still drew every eye.
After the formal greetings, King Pingding was about to speak when a gaunt old man cut him off. "We know all about it. Xu Yi overstepped his station and murdered Black Rock. His crimes are heinous. We need only hear Lord Dragon's judgment."
Though the Human and Demon Races were deeply divided, their cultures had thoroughly influenced one another.
On the whole, it was human culture that had influenced demon culture.
Of course, in the demon classics Xu Yi had read, everything belonging to the human race was said to have originated with the Demon Race—including its culture.
Setting aside the two races' debate over the origins of civilization, their cultures had intermingled so thoroughly that demons rarely called themselves demons anymore. Their everyday speech was full of human expressions like "people," "good person," and "sir."
Xu Yi knew all the secrets behind this, so he paid it no mind.
His attention was fixed entirely on the gaunt old man.
King Pingding had already made the man's identity clear when he greeted him earlier: Lord Jiuhuang, the head of Seven Star Demon Mansion, to which Black Rock Demon Cave belonged.
As soon as Lord Jiuhuang finished speaking, Xu Yi's brow sank.
He had noticed that the middle-aged burly man facing Jiuhuang showed no sign of joining in.
That man was none other than Lord Tu Min, the head of Wuwei Demon Mansion, to which Pingding Demon Cave belonged.
The situation was plain: three great figures—Jiuhuang, Tu Min, and Lord Dragon—were locked in a contest.
Jiuhuang had even stopped King Pingding from speaking. He clearly meant to suppress every detail and focus solely on Xu Yi's killing of King Black Rock, leaving Lord Dragon to pass judgment.
