Chapter 68
Jiang Chen walked towards Liu Song and the others, who had turned as white as sheets. He said in a cold voice, “I told you you’d better kill me, otherwise I would kill you.”
Then his sword flew at them like a rainbow.
He attacked Liu Song’s five subordinates first. The sword was moving as fast as a shooting star. The Redcloud Sword lashed them like a long whip.
The five disciples of the Hall of Penal Law had no way to fight back at all.
If they still remembered how they’d treated Jiang Chen at the Hall of Penal Law, they would have found Jiang Chen was attacking exactly the same parts where they’d beaten him, but of course, with more strength.
The five soon fell to the ground. One of them was even spitting blood.
“Now it’s your turn.” Jiang Chen walked towards Liu Song.
At that moment, a voice suddenly appeared. Like a breeze, the voice defused the power that was about to demolish Jiang Chen.
Then Mo Xu appeared beside Jiang Chen, staring at Elder Li.
Elder Li was shocked when he saw who it was. He went up nervously and said, “Elder Mo.”
“This disciple won the fair trial, but you expelled him from the school without doing anything. What an authority the Hall of Penal Law has! Ask your leader to come here!” Mo Xu shouted.
Elder Li was drenched in sweat, yet he insisted on quibbling. He said, “Elder Mo, Jiang Chen slapped Zheng Ping at the Profound Theory Palace. We have many witnesses.”
“Zheng Ping is a senior disciple, but this little guy is only a junior. Why did he slap a senior? Didn’t you even investigate it?” Mo Xu asked.
Elder Li was speechless.
Just then, Wen Xin pushed through the throng. She said, “I can testify for Jiang Chen. It was Zheng Ping who provoked and insulted Jiang Chen first.”
“See? A witness is right there, and you didn’t even want to ask about it.” Mo Xu looked angrier.
At first, he had intended to help Jiang Chen so that Jiang Chen would owe him a favor. Then it would be reasonable for him to ask Jiang Chen to help with the tactical formation. But when he realized the whole story, he was irritated by the Hall of Penal Law as well.
Elder Li didn’t have the nerve to offend a grand supreme elder, so he tried to pass the blame. He shouted at Liu Song, “You six, why did you arrest him without investigation?”
Before Liu Song could respond, Jiang Chen grinned and said, “I asked him the same question. But this Liu Song only said he was the law and then took me to the Hall of Penal Law directly.”
Liu Song turned pale immediately.
“The Hall of Penal Law is indulging its disciples to this extent?” Mo Xu asked.
“Elder Mo, how do you want to deal with this affair?” Elder Li asked nervously.
“Jiang Chen bet his life on proving his innocence. Now it has been confirmed to be a false accusation. So these six… It should be Jiang Chen who decides their fate. You interrupted the fair trial with your authority as an elder. You are dismissed from your post. No. To be more precise, you are expelled from the Natural Law School,” Mo Xu said.
Elder Li was dumbfounded. He began to tremble.
Liu Song was shocked, too. He knelt down and started to cry. He said, “Elder Mo, Jiang Chen, please forgive us. We were only following the orders of Apprentice Brother Zheng Ping.”
“Exactly.”
The other five also knelt down before Jiang Chen, groveling to him, regardless of their injuries.
