The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
In the Taoist Sect, Taiyi Daoist said to Yi Zhangzhi: "Feel free to ask any questions you have."
Yi Zhangzhi asked: "May I ask, fellow Daoists, after cultivating the Demonic Arts, can I commit crimes and harm the innocent?"
Void Daoist replied: "So far, there has been no evidence of you committing any crimes."
Yi Zhangzhi said: "Since I have not done anything harmful to the martial world, why do you impose Daoist rules on me? Is it simply because I have cultivated the Demonic Arts? Do you judge a person's goodness or evil based solely on whether they practice the Demonic Arts? Don't you think that is rather superficial?"
Xumi Daoist: "Yi Zhangzhi, your reasoning is valid; we have been too hasty."
Yan Jizi stated: "In the Taoist Sect, those who cultivate the Demonic Arts have already violated Daoist rules. Now you are here, using your eloquence to confuse others, which is an even greater offense. If you were to cause trouble in the martial world, wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of our Taoist Sect? Fellow seniors, please do not be deceived by Yi Zhangzhi's words."
Yi Zhangzhi: "May I ask Yan Jizi, among the righteous sects of the martial world, are there not those with ulterior motives, who kill without hesitation, with hearts as venomous as snakes and scorpions, and ambitious individuals?"
Yan Jizi answered: "The martial world is vast; naturally, all kinds of people exist."
Yi Zhangzhi said: "If that is the case, do these people practice the Demonic Arts?"
Yan Jizi replied: "Of course not."
Yi Zhangzhi: "Then according to your reasoning, these individuals with ulterior motives, who kill without hesitation, with hearts as venomous as snakes and scorpions, and ambitious individuals are considered good people?"
Yan Jizi: "I did not say that."
Yi Zhangzhi: "Since that is the case, I am merely pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts by cultivating the Demonic Arts. To equate me with the Traitors of the Martial World is rather unbecoming of someone on a path of cultivation."
Taiyi Daoist said: "Yi Zhangzhi, you make a valid point. Let us conclude today's meeting here; Yi Zhangzhi, you may leave."
Yi Zhangzhi bowed and said, "Thank you, Daoist Master Daoqu. I will take my leave now." Yi Zhangzhi walked out of the Taoist Sect.
Yan Jizi was unconvinced and said, "Daoist Master Daoqu, are you really just going to let him leave like this?"
Taiyi Daoist replied, "Yi Zhangzhi has not committed evil; he has merely practiced Demonic Arts, which has affected the reputation of the Taoist Sect. It would be difficult to justify punishing him for that. If you are dissatisfied, you may find evidence of Yi Zhangzhi's wrongdoing, and then our Taoist Sect can take action."
Xu Li Daoist remarked, "You are ultimately secular people. I think you should give up on this path; the martial world is where you can truly shine."
Xuanji Zi said, "Seniors are indeed seniors; their words carry deep meaning."
Within the Martial Arts Tribunal, an important witness took the stand, and it was none other than Sanwei Daoist. Yi Junsheng was astonished as Sanwei Daoist spoke: "I, Sanwei Daoist, have come to see Chief Justice Bao. I am here to testify for Eastern Proud Dragon."
Upon hearing this, Yi Junsheng became furious: "Sanmei Daoist, have you lost your mind? You actually want to testify for that damned Tall Guy?"
Bao Qing interjected, "Yi Junsheng, do not obstruct the witness from giving testimony. Sanwei Daoist, how will you testify for Eastern Proud Dragon?"
Sanwei Daoist replied, "On that day at Murong Manor, I personally heard Yi Junsheng offer one hundred thousand taels to the Black Design Society's top assassin Jing Ke to kill Eastern Dragon."
Yi Junsheng retorted, "What a good Sanmei Daoist! You—"
Bao Qing asked Yi Junsheng, "Now that there are both witnesses and material evidence present, what else do you have to say?"
Yi Junsheng argued, "Bao Da Ren, I absolutely never said such things. This Sanwei Daoist must have been bribed by that Tall Guy to come here and slander me."
Bao Qing stated, "Sanwei Daoist is a person of cultivation; his character is guaranteed to some extent. Moreover, he has no enmity with you and would not falsely accuse you without reason. Therefore, the credibility of Sanwei Daoist's testimony is over ninety percent. No matter how you argue, the fact that you hired someone to commit murder cannot be denied any longer. As Chief Justice Bao Qing, I hereby declare: Yi Junsheng is guilty of hiring a killer. However, since the deceased Eastern Dragon was an unjust person and Yi Junsheng acted irrationally in the wake of losing his friend Su Shi, I hereby sentence Yi Junsheng to one hundred years in prison, effective immediately."
Upon hearing this sentence, Yi Junsheng wept bitterly and said, "One hundred years! I will grow old and die in prison! Sanwei Daoist, you betrayed your friend; I will not rest until we settle this score. You have already been marked with Shattered Corpse, No Bones Left; I want your bones to be untraceable."
Bao Qing responded: "Yi Junsheng, you threaten a witness; your crime is compounded. Now I add ten more years to your sentence for a total of one hundred ten years. Guards! Take Yi Junsheng away to prison."
Yi Junsheng continuously shouted on the way to prison, "Bao Da Ren, I am wronged! I am more wronged than Dou E! Bao Da Ren, it's unjust..."
Eastern Proud Dragon was clearly dissatisfied with Bao Qing's judgment and said, "Chief Justice Bao, Yi Junsheng is a murderer. You only sentenced him to a hundred years in prison instead of the death penalty. This is unreasonable."
Bao Qing replied, "Eastern Proud Dragon, my judgment is beyond question. Do you think the Judicial Court does not understand what kind of person your brother is? If it weren't for the regulations of the Judicial Court, I wouldn't have taken this case. This matter ends here. If you have any objections, I will release Yi Junsheng and let you resolve your grievances privately."
Upon hearing this, Eastern Proud Dragon angrily left the Martial Arts Tribunal.
Nightmare Demon entered the Humid and Hot Rainforest, where the heat was stifling, the vegetation dense, and rain fell continuously throughout the year. The roars of fierce beasts echoed in the air, creating a very eerie atmosphere. Nightmare Demon found a unique enjoyment in this environment and said, "In this vast world, there exists such a place; marvelous." Just then, a fierce beast, Taotie, leaped out of the bushes like a hungry wolf or tiger and pounced on Nightmare Demon. Seeing the beast charging at him, Nightmare Demon said, "Come at me." He quickly unleashed a palm technique, Severing Tendons Without Harming Vessels, aimed at Taotie. Sensing the impending danger, Taotie immediately dodged and retreated into the bushes. Nightmare Demon's palm energy missed its target and struck several large trees, breaking their branches and trunks. Subsequently, Taotie used the terrain to launch multiple attacks while Nightmare Demon also unleashed several strikes without injuring Taotie. Nightmare Demon remarked, "This beast is truly difficult to deal with. However, as Buddha said: If I do not enter hell, who will?" He then raised his left hand to lure Taotie into biting it. Moments later, as expected, Taotie took the bait and jumped out from the bushes to bite Nightmare Demon's left hand, causing blood to flow profusely and immense pain. Nevertheless, Nightmare Demon remained unfazed and raised his right hand to strike down Taotie. After defeating Taotie, Nightmare Demon obtained Dragon's Saliva and said, "No matter how cunning the prey is, it ultimately cannot escape the hunter's trap." He dragged the dead body of Taotie out of the Humid and Hot Rainforest.
Shu Heng saw that Nightmare Demon had actually managed to walk out of the Humid and Hot Rainforest alive and was extremely surprised. He said, "Nightmare Demon, you are truly an exceptional person among oddities."
Nightmare Demon replied, "This was merely a matter of a snap of my fingers; there's no need for excessive praise. This is the corpse of a fierce beast; consider it my apology for intruding into your noble territory." He then handed Taotie's body over to Shu Heng before leaving.
Shu Heng remarked, "An oddity is indeed an oddity."
After failing to assassinate at the Martial Arts Tribunal, Yamada Koji finally learned about Murong Yaoxian's whereabouts at the Martial Arts Alliance after some effort. Yamada Koji decided to first express his feelings to Murong Yaoxian at Martial Bamboo Divine Domain before plotting his revenge. At that moment, Zhuge Kongming happened to pass by and noticed Yamada Koji acting suspiciously and decided to follow him.
