Yue Guan and Gui Mei swiftly rushed towards Lin Hao.
Midway through, a Seven Kill Sword suddenly descended from the sky. The powerful sword energy forced Yue Guan and Gui Mei to stop.
"The Way of the Sword, the Chen Xin!"
Yue Guan looked at Chen Xin with apprehension.
Back in the hilly area, Chen Xin, with Ning Fengzhi's assistance, captured Yue Guan and Gui Mei alive. Everything that had happened in the past remained fresh in Yue Guan and filled him with fear.
The Gui Mei figure warned, " Chen Xin, do you intend to become an enemy of the Spirit Hall?"
"Let him go." Chen Xin's voice could cut through a person's heart. Having comprehended the Sword Intent, his Dao heart was extremely firm, without any fear.
At the same time, Poison Douluo hurriedly came to Lin Hao's side, his eyes warily scanning the people around him.
Poison Douluo said bluntly, "The tournament just ended, and no one has left the venue Spirit City. Is the Spirit Hall a sore loser?"
Bibi Dong gripped the scepter in her hand slightly.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er from the Skywater Academy came to Lin Hao's side without any hesitation. Shui Ruohan, who was leading the group, ran to Lin Hao's side and bowed to Bibi Dong.
Shui Ruohan asked, "Your Majesty, what crime has Lin Hao committed?"
Qin Ming, as the team leader, did not back down. He also bowed to Bibi Dong, saying, "You are the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Even if you want to capture Lin Hao, there must be evidence of a crime. Your His Holiness the Pope, may I ask, what crime has Lin Hao of my Heaven Dou Royal Academy committed? Are there any witnesses? Is there any physical evidence?"
Bibi Dong said, "He is a criminal suspect!"
"A criminal suspect?" Qin Ming wasn't buying it. He knew Bibi Dong was fabricating a charge against Lin Hao and asked again, "What crime did he commit?"
"I suspect he's connected to the dangers plaguing the Soul Master World. He must stay and cooperate with the investigation!"
"Doubt? You are His Holiness the Pope; mere doubt is not convincing. Randomly doubting others is also detrimental to you. May I ask for specifics?" Qin Ming found it amusing.
The real problem is that the Spirit Hall previously sent assassins to kill Lin Hao in the hilly area, but they failed and were captured alive by Lin Hao.
Lin Hao forced the Spirit Hall to pay the ransom. The Spirit Hall was furious and wanted to bring Lin Hao to justice after the competition.
That's hilarious.
It was clearly the Spirit Hall that first disguised themselves as bandits to assassinate Lin Hao, but their operation failed, and now they've created this whole mess.
Suspect?
Haha, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions; and by intentions, no one in the world is perfect.
If it's just suspicion, then everyone in the world can be suspected and arbitrarily accused.
Wouldn't the world be thrown into chaos!
Qin Ming's smile faded.
Although Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue in disguise, she was still the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire at this moment, and had no choice but to speak up, " Your Pope, this matter must be made clear!"
Bibi Dong said calmly, "I said Lin Hao's cooperation in the investigation is needed. If it is later proven that Lin Hao is innocent, the Spirit Hall will naturally not continue to make things difficult for him. Men, seize Lin Hao!"
At His Holiness the Pope's command, the surrounding Hall Guard Knight and Spirit Master quickly surrounded Lin Hao and his companions.
Lin Hao said, "Everyone, you may all step down!"
Shui Ruohan gently scolded, " Lin Hao, you're confused. The world isn't as innocent, just, and fair as you say. If they take you away, they can make even the dead look innocent, and the innocent will be made guilty. Aren't there enough wrongful convictions in this world? One more won't Lin Hao a difference!"
As a member of the nobility, Shui Ruohan was well aware of the rules governing high society. His words carried considerable weight.
He had personally witnessed a friend arguing with the son of an official.
It's just an argument; people can say whatever they want, nobody takes it seriously.
But the official's son was different; he took everything Shui Ruohan's friend said to heart.
Then, the son of an official, knowing full well that his actions were illegal, abused his status. When he said, "What's the point of talking about the law with this kind of person?", he was already aware of his illegal behavior.
So what can be done?
The son of an official insisted on breaking the law and using his resources. Then, while his friend did not drop any charges, he was targeted and suppressed in every way.
Its name is "Prevention is better than cure".
After that, whenever the other person opened their mouth, she thought they were being insulted; when she scolded her child, she thought they were being insulted... and so on. All these normal behaviors were interpreted by the son of an official as being targeted at him! He claimed she was being pressured!
Shui Ruohan's friend saw through the scheme and apologized to the other party before leaving. The other party, however, thought the suppression was effective and wanted to continue!
Hahaha!
The sons of officials had no idea where they had gone wrong.
In fact, Shui Ruohan's friends don't want to bother with such narcissistic lunatics at all!
Such hypothetical scenarios, completely unfounded and based solely on words spoken during an argument, can hardly serve as grounds for criminal charges!
If we were to do that, where would the dignity of the law be?
However, the sons of officials do not think so.
Such an absurd thing could become a miscarriage of justice. Shui Ruohan felt that there were already too many miscarriages of justice in the world, and too many absurd things in the world, even within the current Heaven Dou Empire!
Shui Ruohan refused to let Lin Hao be taken away by the Spirit Hall alone!
Buzzing.
Waves of Soul Power rippled and undulated.
Shui Bing'er, Shui Ruohan, Qin Ming, Shui Yue'er, Yu Tianheng Osler, Yu Feng, Yu Dugu Yan, Dugu Shi Mo, Ye Lingling, Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Bo, Xiao Wu, and Tang San stood firmly beside Lin Hao, their eyes warily fixed on the Spirit Hall's Spirit Master, ready to defend themselves at any moment!
Qin Ming was a graduate of the Shrek Academy. Flender frowned and moved to go to Qin Ming's side, but Yu Xiaogang grabbed his hand in time.
Yu Xiaogang asked, "What are you going to do?"
Flender said, "Help Qin Ming."
Yu Xiaogang said, " Qin Ming doesn't need your help. The Spirit Hall wants to capture Lin Hao!"
Flender reminded him, "And your apprentice Tang San. He's also with Lin Hao."
Yu Xiaogang remained indifferent, stating, " The Spirit Hall wants to arrest Lin Hao, not Xiao San."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Recently, Tang San has been led astray by Lin Hao.
During this competition, Shrek Academy didn't even use their Seven-Body Fusion Technique because of Tang San. When Yu Xiaogang asked why, Lin Hao said that this method could easily cause someone to go berserk.
Yes, it's Lin Hao again.
Yu Xiaogang originally wanted to prove himself through the competition, and the Seven-Body Fusion Technique was the highlight that allowed him to shine.
Now that his first love is going to teach Lin Hao a lesson, how could he possibly let this opportunity pass him by?
Yu Xiaogang thought to himself, " Lin Hao, don't blame me. The Soul Master World has one Grandmaster like me Yu Xiaogang, and that's enough! You, just die!"
