Void Realm, in a dark independent space.
Divine Duke Wuji's figure regrouped, and his majestic face was now filled with cold murderous intent.
He has been in charge of Heavenly Pivot Institute for many years and knows very well the operating rules of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau.
If Prison-Suppressing Divine Duke does not personally issue a ruling, such important cases will be decided by a joint vote of the eighteen deputy directors of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau.
And among these eighteen people, many are his "old acquaintances."
Buzz--
Divine Duke Wuji thought, and encrypted messages were quickly sent to the Void Realm and sent to the terminals of the deputy bosses.
He only expressed one thing - he wants Lu Zhen to die!
With his Fifth Realm Peak cultivation and the overwhelming power of Heavenly Pivot Institute's chief master, he believed that many people would betray his reputation.
The other side.
In the exclusive hall of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, Blood Prison Marquis.
In front of Blood Prison Marquis, a vague and majestic figure appeared.
It is the supreme leader of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, Prison-Suppressing Divine Duke!
"Divine Duke." Blood Prison Marquis saluted respectfully, and even reported the whole story of Divine Duke Wuji's pressure and the Lu Zhen case.
"That old fellow Wu Ji is in a hurry." Prison-Suppressing Divine Duke in the mirror actually laughed softly after hearing this.
"Divine Duke, how should we decide this matter?" Blood Prison Marquis said cautiously, "Divine Duke Wuji is pressing hard. If there is no heavy sentence, I'm afraid he won't give up."
"What to do?"
Prison-Suppressing Divine Duke said calmly, "We'll see."
After that, the screen disappeared directly, cutting off the communication.
Blood Prison Marquis was stunned in place.
Let's see what to do?
He was puzzled as to what kind of instruction this was.
Are you biased towards Divine Duke Wuji, or are you enforcing the law impartially?
Prison-Suppressing Divine Duke This ambiguous attitude left him completely confused.
"Alas, when gods fight, mortals suffer." Blood Prison Marquis smiled bitterly.
Since the immediate superior does not want to be arbitrary, he can only follow the process.
Wow--
Blood Prison Marquis waved his hand, and a circular formation platform rose in the center of the hall.
As the light flickered, seventeen illusory figures emerged one after another on the formation platform.
They are the other seventeen deputy directors of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau.
"Everyone, everyone must have heard about the case of the death of Divine Duke Wuji's only son." Blood Prison Marquis said solemnly, "Prison-Suppressing Divine Duke has not made any explicit statement. This matter requires eighteen people including me to discuss and vote together."
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became a little depressing.
After all, this involves a crazy Fifth Realm Peak power.
"Is there anything to discuss?"
A deputy chief in a white robe spoke first, "According to the file, Divine Scion voluntarily participated in the Immortal City trial, and there are testimonials from other survivors to support it. Lu Zhen has no motive or evidence for the murder."
"According to the law, Lu Zhen is not guilty,"
"Not guilty?" Another deputy director with a sinister face sneered, "Divine Duke Wuji is such a single person and died in the Secret Realm. Do you want Heavenly Punishment Bureau to be demolished by Heavenly Pivot Institute by acquitting him?"
"Not bad."
Someone else echoed, "Although Lu Zhen has no evidence, he is the only survivor after all, so he cannot escape his involvement.
I think it's better to compromise and sentence him to a hundred years' imprisonment, which would be considered as giving Divine Duke Wuji an explanation."
"A hundred years of imprisonment? That's too light!"
A deputy boss shrouded in black mist said sternly. He had obviously received the subpoena from Divine Duke Wuji and had a very close relationship with him.
"Divine Scion is the future pillar of our divine dynasty, and he dies in such an unexplained way. How can we be lenient?"
"Then Lu Zhen is just a so-called genius from the Third Realm. There are so many geniuses in Great Wilderness, so it doesn't matter if one of them dies." The deputy director of Black Mist said coldly, "In my opinion, he must be severely punished! He will directly extract his soul and refine his soul to serve as a warning to others!"
"You are bending the law for personal gain!" the deputy director in white robe said angrily.
"I am doing this for the peace of the divine dynasty!" Deputy Chief of Black Mist did not give in.
For a time, the eighteen deputy directors were arguing endlessly.
Most people know in their hearts that Lu Zhen is most likely innocent, or there is no evidence to prove his guilt.
However, Divine Duke Wuji had too great an impact on the Shen Dynasty.
To offend a powerful Sea-Covering Realm pin for a genius who has not yet grown up?
Not cost effective.
In their eyes, the law is important, but Divine Duke Wuji's attitude and their own interests are obviously more worthy of consideration.
Blood Prison Marquis looked at the quarrels and frowned, "Since everyone holds their own opinions, let's vote."
The results came out quickly.
Although everyone had spoken highly of the rules and regulations before, when it came time to actually vote, a full 11 people agreed to imprison Lu Zhen in "Spirit-Severing Death Prison" for five hundred years!
Spirit-Severing Death Prison, that is a place of death without even a trace of Great Dao Laws.
Lu Zhen is only Third Realm on the surface, and his lifespan is limited. Being locked up in that place for five hundred years, there is no way he can absorb breakthroughs in the law.
What is the difference between this and a direct death sentence?
It is tantamount to letting him die in there, which means taking his life.
It can be seen how many people Divine Duke Wuji has secretly influenced.
"I object," the deputy director in white robe shouted angrily, "This sentence is simply ridiculous."
"I don't agree either."
There were still a few upright old people who voted no, and they firmly disagreed.
According to the rules of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, in order to sentence a sect's top genius to a severe sentence of five hundred years, the majority of the deputy chiefs must agree.
Eleven votes, still a little short.
"Since there are not enough votes." Blood Prison Marquis waved his hand, "Then we will suspend the conviction until more evidence is collected and submitted, and we will vote next time. The meeting adjourned."
With a crash, the illusory figures disappeared one after another.
In a dark independent space.
Divine Duke Wuji listened to Blood Prison Marquis's report, "I can't even judge Third Realm as an ant. Heavenly Punishment Bureau is really getting better and better."
"Divine Duke Calm down your anger." Blood Prison Marquis said, "Before the next vote, I will do some work with the other deputy chiefs. I think we can make it happen."
"As long as the verdict is given, Lu Zhen will be sent to death row. Isn't it up to you, Divine Duke, to control it at will?"
Blood Prison Marquis lowered his voice, "We must now follow the rules of the superficial order. After all, Divine Scion used Heavenly Pivot Order. It is really unreasonable to directly execute him without any evidence, so as not to chill the hearts of the sects below.
That's all I can say. As long as you go to death penalty, you will not be aware of it..."
Divine Duke Wuji was silent for a moment.
He also knew that all the sects were now staring at this matter.
"Okay." Divine Duke Wuji nodded coldly, "I will wait for a few more days. If something goes wrong in the next vote, I will only ask you."
Heavenly Punishment Bureau In a quiet mansion.
The white-robed deputy director "Elder Qing", who had previously voted no, was sitting at his desk with a frown on his face.
"This old man Wu Ji is really crazy." Elder Qing sighed secretly.
He sees clearly.
Great Luo Divine Dynasty seems powerful, but it is just one of the dozens of the Star Continent princes under the command of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Now on the Taixia border, there is still huge pressure from the Heavenly Wolf Demon Kingdom, and the war may spread at any time.
At this time, in order to vent his personal anger, Divine Duke Wuji acted so randomly and forcibly persecuted a genius.
Doesn't this mean to break up the hearts of the Great Wilderness sects?
If the Demon Kingdom army invades the country then, who will be willing to sacrifice their lives for the divine dynasty?
"We can't let them do whatever they want."
Elder Qing moved his mind and contacted an extremely secret imprint directly through the Void Realm.
After a while.
"Elder Qing head, what do you want to do with me?" Venerable Xuantian Sword's voice came over.
"Sword Master, the situation is not good." Elder Qing directly transmitted the message, "Heavenly Punishment Bureau just voted internally, and a full eleven people wanted to sentence Lu Zhen to five hundred years of death imprisonment. Although they were suppressed this time, Divine Duke Wuji will definitely put pressure on it to pass the next vote."
"What?" Venerable Xuantian Sword's voice changed.
"Hurry up and contact Lu Zhen." Elder Qing said anxiously, "Ask him if there is any evidence that he has not submitted!
As long as there is irrefutable proof that Divine Scion's death had nothing to do with him, even the smallest trace will do.
I can use it to my best advantage in the Heavenly Punishment Bureau. If you try harder, this kid will really be dead."
