Chapter 12951
An elderly man with a white beard finally couldn't hold back any longer. He mustered his courage and took a step forward, his voice trembling as he said, "Your Excellency, you can't do this! Xing Jun is a murderous monster. He killed half of the people in Tianjun! If you let him go back to Tianjun, isn't that irresponsible towards Tianjun?"
Fa Chen glanced at him, his tone completely unwavering: "Criminals are human too. Since he has already paid the price he deserves, he should be given a chance to start over."
He turned his gaze to the entire room and said in a lecturing tone, "One cannot be so narrow-minded."
The scene erupted in chaos.
The crowd was outraged, and shouts of abuse filled the air.
"Bullshit! What do you mean by paying the price?"
"He killed half of our Tianjun people, and he was imprisoned for hundreds of years. Is that what you call paying the price?"
"Who will pay for the lives lost? Our loved ones died at his hands, who will take responsibility?"
"When did your Sin God Academy become so merciful?"
"Are you out of your mind? Is that something a human being should say?"
"They've gone mad, they've all gone mad!"
Hearing these curses, Fa Chen's face darkened, and he shook his head with a light laugh: "The ignorant people of this small place are indeed unreasonable."
Then he raised his voice, which echoed throughout the entire area: "Where is Lin Yi? Come out and greet him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd automatically parted to make way for him.
Lin Yi walked out of the gate of the New Heavenly Palace and stood in front of the other party.
Fa Chen looked him up and down and nodded slightly: "You are Lin Yi? You should have heard what I just said."
"Xing Jun has now been released from prison and is now a citizen of your Tianjun County."
"I hope you will cooperate fully with my Sinology Academy's reform plan and give him enough understanding and care."
Lin Yi looked at him without saying a word.
Fa Chen felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and frowned, saying, "As the ruler of Tianjun, you should have this vision, and not be as short-sighted as those ignorant people."
Lin Yi finally spoke: "Release after serving time? A criminal rehabilitation program? Giving criminals a chance to start over?"
"Yes."
Fa Chen nodded, looking completely matter-of-fact.
Lin Yi snorted coldly: "Then I would like to ask Elder Fachen, is it true that the lives of tens of millions of people in half of Tianjun are only worth three hundred years of imprisonment?"
Fa Chen's expression froze.
Lin Yi continued, "You say he paid the price he deserved, but tell me, did he pay that price, or did the innocent civilians he slaughtered pay it?"
Fa Chen opened his mouth.
Before he could speak, Lin Yi pressed on: "You said you wanted to give him a chance to start over, but I want to ask, who gave those people he slaughtered a chance to start over?"
Fa Chen's expression finally changed.
The entire square fell silent, all eyes focused on Lin Yi, each one filled with eager anticipation.
Lin Yi's voice echoed throughout the venue: "You talk to me about vision and magnanimity, but have you ever considered that beneath the paving stone you're standing on might lie the remains of a child he slaughtered back then?"
"Are you qualified to talk about compassion with the families of these deceased?"
Fa Chen's face turned bright red, and after trembling for a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "You have typical ignorant thinking, no vision, no foresight!"
Lin Yi ignored him and looked at the huge figure bound by chains: "If you want to release Xing Jun, that's your rule, I won't stop you."
Fa Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and was about to say something when Lin Yi bypassed him and walked directly toward Xing Jun.
Lin Yi calmly said the second half of the sentence: "But Tianjun has its own rules."
Fa Chen frowned: "What do you mean?"
Lin Yi did not answer him; his right hand was already resting on the hilt of the Earthly Treasury Blade.
Fa Chen's pupils contracted: "You dare!"
Lin Yi didn't even glance at him before drawing his Earthly Blade.
A dark shadow silently swept past everyone's sight, appearing directly at the neck of that massive body.
The blade flashed, and everything came to an abrupt halt.
Shadow Blade.
A huge head rolled off the top of the chain, rolling more than a dozen times on the ground before coming to rest right at Fachen's feet.
Even now, Xing Jun's eyes were still open, his face showing disbelief and astonishment.
The entire scene was completely silent.
Immediately, thunderous cheers erupted.
Lin Yi flicked away non-existent bloodstains from the blade and slowly sheathed the sword.
Lin Yi turned to look at Fa Chen: "Your Sin God Academy has its rules, and my Tianjun has its rules."
“He committed such a serious crime in my Tianjun County that he deserves to die.”
"If Elder Fachen has any objections, please feel free to offer your guidance at any time."
Upon hearing this, the entire square erupted in thunderous cheers: "Long live the Lord of Tianjun! Long live Lord Lin Yi!"
Especially the elderly with white hair, one by one, were moved to tears, kowtowing repeatedly in the direction of Lin Yi.
In their eyes, Lin Yi's strike was not just cutting off Xing Jun's head, but protecting the future of their entire Tianjun County.
Only at this moment did everyone truly realize the importance of Lin Yi, the Lord of Tianjun, to Tianjun.
At this moment, Lin Yi was no longer the high and mighty Lord of Tianjun in their eyes, but a guardian god who held up the sky for them!
Fachen watched this scene, his face turning pale and then red, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.
Before today, he had never dealt with Tianjun, but he had heard of the name Lin Yi even in the open area of the Divine Realm.
After all, it concerns the destiny of the main god, so there has been a lot of discussion about it.
As the ruler of Tianjun, Lin Yi is a name that cannot be avoided.
However, despite the discussions, very few people truly took Lin Yi seriously.
Ultimately, at best, he's just a one-zhang-long Dharma Aspect expert. While this level of strength isn't entirely insignificant in the open area of the Divine Realm, it's clearly insufficient for a regional lord.
But what he saw before him completely overturned his understanding.
Xing Jun was imprisoned in his Sin God Academy for three hundred years. Even though ninety percent of his strength was sealed, his physical body alone was already a being that surpassed the level of a God of Law.
Under normal circumstances, even if Lin Yi were to take action, he wouldn't be able to budge the slightest.
The fact that he was beheaded with a single blow is truly unbelievable.
The key point is that from beginning to end, Lin Yi didn't even glance at him, completely disregarding the Sin God Academy.
This was clearly a public provocation against the Sinology Academy in front of everyone!
If it were before, he would have suppressed Lin Yi immediately to save face for the Theological Academy.
However, after witnessing that strike, Fa Chen was horrified to find that he was unable to make a move for the time being!
A strong intuition told him that if he acted rashly, he would most likely humiliate himself.
But if he were to slink away like this, he would completely lose face for the Academy of Sin Gods.
After all, due to the divine opportunity, the attention of all major forces is now focused on Tianjun.
It would have been fine if the Sinful God Academy hadn't shown its face, but today it has taken the initiative to come forward and be humiliated. It is bound to become the laughing stock of the entire open area of the Divine Realm.
