Chapter 698

Ye Lin looked at Elder Nu.

Elder Nu looked at Ye Lin.

The two stared at each other, silent for a while.

The faces of the other elders were also full of shock.

Killing one's beloved to prove the Dao—is there a bottom-line theory for this thing?

"Stop farting here! You were clearly killing for the sake of killing; in just five days, you killed more than five hundred people; you are clearly killing the innocent indiscriminately!" Elder Nu scolded angrily.

"That's not true, Elder, please look."

Ye Lin directly displayed his cultivation, which was surprisingly the early stage of the Five Elements Realm!

Although he hadn't condensed his Dharma Body yet, the elders present could naturally see Ye Lin's true cultivation.

Several people couldn't help but gasp, their eyes full of shock.

You know, Ye Lin was someone they watched enter the sect; when he entered, he was clearly only in the early stage of the Heaven-Tier.

How long has it been since he joined the Joyous Union Sect, and he soared directly from the early stage of the Heaven-Tier to the early stage of the Five Elements Realm?

This is a full major realm!

Ordinary cultivators, even with extremely high talent and in a situation where they are not short of resources at all, would take at least a year or a half to break through from the early stage of the Heaven-Tier to the early stage of the Five Elements Realm.

Could it be that this so-called killing one's beloved to prove the Dao by quantity really has a theory?

"Elder Nu, if I am talking nonsense, then how do you explain my cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds?"

Ye Lin was righteous and continued.

"The method I used is the best way to practice the No-Thought No-Emotion Dao!"

Ye Lin's voice was deafening.

Many disciples of the No-Thought Hall had expressions of thought on their faces, and faint killing intent was revealed in their eyes.

Could it be that as he said, as long as you kill enough, you can trigger the so-called bottom-line mechanism?

Those who can join the Joyous Union Sect are all evil heretics to begin with.

And the disciples of the No-Thought Hall can even kill their closest relatives.

If you can make your cultivation soar by just constantly falling in love and killing your partner, they would definitely not mind doing so.

Elder Nu's scalp felt numb.

He clearly felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't say it!

"No matter what, you killed more than five hundred Joyous Union Sect disciples; this is an iron-clad fact, even if you talk to the sky, it's useless!"

Elder Nu flicked his sleeves, his attitude firm.

He understood that he must never reason with Ye Lin again; otherwise, he would definitely be led into the ditch again.

"Elder Pei, according to the sect rules of the Joyous Union Sect, if someone kills more than five hundred disciples, how should they be dealt with?"

Elder Nu looked at the Punishment Elder Pei Jiuye and asked.

Pei Jiuye looked at Ye Lin, then slowly opened his mouth.

"According to the sect rules, they should suffer the punishment of skinning and bone-dismantling, and after their bones are turned to ashes, their living souls should be extracted and tortured for a hundred years until their souls fly away and scatter!"

As soon as Pei Jiuye finished speaking, a gasp sounded at the scene.

This kind of punishment could be said to be the heaviest level in the sect.

But it was normal; the Joyous Union Sect hadn't lacked big demons who killed like hemp.

But those people killed like hemp, and they all killed outsiders.

Ye Lin killed like hemp, and he killed all his own people in the Joyous Union Sect.

Under these circumstances, it would be strange if the punishment wasn't heavy.

"Then what is Elder Pei waiting for? Why not quickly take down this thief and give the dead disciples justice?" Elder Nu urged.

Pei Jiuye looked at Ye Lin, a flash of apology crossed his eyes, and he transmitted his voice in a low voice.

"Sorry, kid, even if you have given me benefits before, I can't protect you anymore; you have done too much, and I can at most let you die less painfully."

After the voice transmission ended, a fierce look flashed in Pei Jiuye's eyes.

"Bold Ye Xiehong, you actually dared to plot against so many disciples; today this elder will let you know the power of the Punishment Hall!"

Pei Jiuye roared, reached out a big hand to grab Ye Lin, wanting to make him submit on the spot!

Ye Lin tilted his head, then also transmitted his voice to Pei Jiuye.

"I can help you get rid of the trouble of divine retribution."

Pei Jiuye instantly widened his eyes, and the big hand he reached out stopped in front of Ye Lin.

"Elder Pei, what are you waiting for?" Elder Nu urged.

"Cough, cough."

Pei Jiuye coughed a few times, then said in a deep voice.

"This elder feels that there may be something else going on here; Ye Xiehong is just a disciple who just entered the sect, how could he kill more than five hundred people in a few days? There is something fishy here!"

"Wait for this elder to bring this Ye Xiehong back to the Punishment Hall to interrogate him well and get to the bottom of it!"

Elder Nu was dumbfounded.

The other six elders were also dumbfounded.

The eight of them joined forces to investigate, and only then did they find Ye Lin, and the evidence was conclusive.

Now Pei Jiuye suddenly said he wanted to continue investigating; what does that mean?

The elders were all human spirits, and they soon figured out what was going on.

Pei Jiuye wanted to protect this Ye Xiehong!

But why?

The reason Pei Jiuye could become the Punishment Elder was because he didn't recognize anyone and didn't give anyone face.

Why would he suddenly protect this Ye Xiehong? Could it be that Ye Xiehong could give him some benefits?

But what kind of benefits would make Pei Jiuye risk the world's disapproval to protect him?

"Elder Pei! The evidence is conclusive, and Ye Xiehong has already admitted it himself; what else is there to investigate?" Elder Nu said loudly.

"Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Pei Jiuye glared at Elder Nu, and the terrifying evil aura on his body made Elder Nu retreat repeatedly.

Don't look at them all as elders; Pei Jiuye's strength was definitely stronger than any of the Seven Emotions Elders.

If it weren't for suffering divine retribution himself, Pei Jiuye's strength could even chase after the four Hall Masters!

After Elder Nu calmed down, he suddenly realized that before Pei Jiuye became the Punishment Elder, he was known as the Blood-Hand Human Butcher!

"If you have so many opinions, why don't you be the Punishment Elder? I said I want to investigate, so I want to investigate! Is there any problem?" Pei Jiuye said coldly.

"No."

Elder Nu was like a quail, his face flushed with anger, but he didn't dare to let out a fart.

To put it bluntly, if he had to go against Pei Jiuye, Pei Jiuye beating him up would be in vain.

"Kid, come with me to the Punishment Hall; you must have accomplices. I advise you to be lenient if you confess; otherwise, don't blame my torture for not being affectionate!"

Although Pei Jiuye was very anxious inside, he still had to do surface work for the disciples to see.

He raised his hand and flicked out a long whip, binding Ye Lin.

That long whip was covered with extremely sharp barbs, which instantly pierced into Ye Lin's flesh, making him bloody.

Ye Lin also cooperated very well, immediately let out a muffled groan, his face extremely painful.

The two entered the Punishment Hall one after another; a moment later, Ye Lin's extremely miserable screams rang out in the Punishment Hall, making the Joyous Union Sect disciples tremble.

They didn't know the ins and outs of this, only thinking that Ye Lin had really gone to be tortured and interrogated.

Only Elder Nu's face was so gloomy that water could drip out.

"No, I have to report this matter to the Hall Master; I don't believe that Ye Xiehong can really cover the sky with one hand. He killed more than five hundred disciples, he must pay the price! I want him to die!"
