Fang Yun held the enormous Black Pearl in his hand and was just about to speak when Zong Wuyuan suddenly cupped his hands toward Wu Jiu. "Elder Wu, there is something I do not understand. Please enlighten me."
"If it concerns this case, you may ask, but you must not take up too much time," Wu Jiu said.
Zong Wuyuan said, "Back when the Lei Family failed to offer congratulations upon Fang Yun's elevation to Void Sage, the Three Rites Fire descended upon them. Of course, I admit that although the Lei Family committed no crime, they did make a mistake. After all, the Lei Family is equivalent to a Void Sage Family, and its contributions differ little from those of an ordinary sage family. Fang Yun killed him, yet cannot produce evidence proving that Lei Zhongmo tried to kill him first. That is a textbook violation of the great rites. Am I stating the facts?"
Wu Jiu nodded. "When a Void Sage kills the head of a Void Sage Family, even if the Hall of Punishment cannot punish him directly under established practice because it happened outside the Saint Origin Continent, the Ritual Hall and the Sacred Academy still exist, and punishment will still be discussed. Back when the Fierce Lord tried to kill Void Sage Fang, someone in the Ritual Hall proposed severely punishing the Fierce Lord. However, their standings were vastly different at the time, and not only did Void Sage Fang survive, but his Literary Rank also advanced, so no one brought the matter up again."
"Good! Void Sage Fang acted alone in this matter, so the Ritual Hall and the Sacred Academy cannot punish his family. And this matter is far more serious than the Lei Family failing to present gifts to a Void Sage.
