Chapter 1747: Unbending! Yèlí's Appreciation!

Come!

One does not visit the Hall of Three Treasures without a purpose.

The ancients truly do not deceive me!

Xu Jingming felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

But on the surface, he remained composed:

"Please speak, seniors."

"Xu Xiaoyou's Starfire Project Fifth Ring Mission.

Does it require going to the 'Heavenly Punishment Starfield Tribunal' to judge a batch of serious offenders?"

Míxīng slowly opened his mouth, the smile on his face growing ever brighter.

So this is why they came.

Xu Jingming coldly smiled in his heart.

For the Fifth Ring Mission of the Starfire Project, he had originally planned to wait until the matter of Blue Star was settled before dealing with it.

He did not expect someone to already be impatiently seeking him out.

"Indeed." Xu Jingming nodded.

"Then it is settled."

The Sovereign of Barbaric Mountains took up the conversation, his voice like muffled thunder:

"Our three juniors happen to be on that list.

They committed mistakes in their youth, the evidence is solid, and by law they should be punished."

He paused, his copper-bell-sized eyes turning toward Xu Jingming:

"We do not ask Xu Xiaoyou to bend the law for personal favor.

We only hope...... that at the time of judgment, you might show leniency, net open one side, and punish lightly."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger.

A list condensed from starlight appeared before Xu Jingming, bearing seven names.

"Besides these seven, the remaining offenders on the list.

Xu Xiaoyou may deal with them according to law, and we will have no objections.

Once the matter is settled, we will surely repay you handsomely!"

The Sovereign of Black Marsh added, his eyes filled with sincerity:

The private room fell silent for a moment.

Yèlí furrowed her brows slightly, looking at Xu Jingming.

"Master, these visitors come with ill intent......"

The demoness little loli Wēilā also murmured softly.

Xu Jingming's gaze swept over the list, and in the depths of his pupils, green-gold Lei Guang quietly flowed.

"Wēilā."

With a slight thought, he said, "Check these seven—what are their crimes?"

"Currently accessing the internal judgment files of the Starfire Mission...... found it!"

Wēilā's thoughts swiftly fed back:

"These seven are all deeply guilty of heinous sins!

Three of them slaughtered all living beings in an entire star system.

Four used bloody trials as entertainment in a starfield!

According to human law.

These seven should all be sentenced to 'annihilation of body and soul, no rebirth'!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingming's heart turned icy cold.

The descendants of those powerhouses.

Relying on resources, they piled up their strength to a relatively high level, enjoying long lifespans.

After living so long, ordinary pleasures and enjoyments no longer satisfied them.

These people often ultimately turned to various perverse methods.

But usually, they merely ran amok on one or two life-bearing planets.

Like them, treating an entire star system or starfield as a unit—this is simply too shocking to hear.

This group of sovereigns actually wants me to show leniency and let them off.

That is nothing short of a fantasy!

"Three seniors."

Xu Jingming raised his head, looking at the three sovereigns still wearing smiles:

"This wine is excellent, the dishes are also very delicious.

A banquet costing two million crystal jade per table—I have indeed never eaten such a feast before."

He paused, then lifted his eyes to the three:

"So, this meal......

I will regard it as the three seniors purely celebrating my junior's joining the Yan Alliance.

As for the list matter, do not mention it again—I will treat it as if it never happened.

As for the final judgment, I will proceed according to human law."

Xu Jingming stood up, his tall and upright figure casting a shadow beneath the brilliant lights of the private room.

"Those who deserve death — not a single one will be spared."

"Those who deserve punishment — absolutely not a fraction will be lightened."

"So cool!"

As the words fell, Vera cheered silently in her heart.

Beside her, a strange glimmer flickered faintly in Ye Li's beautiful eyes.

Yet the entire private room was dead silent.

The smile on Controller Heize's face slowly froze.

Controller Mixing's gentle expression vanished completely.

Controller Manshan's bronze face darkened.

The might of three Controller-level beings, like a volcano about to erupt, spread soundlessly through the private room.

"Young Friend Xu, you'd best think this through clearly."

Controller Heize's eyes narrowed, his voice dropping lower:

"Before long, you and Controller Fentian still have a trial coming up.

I happen to be one of the jurors — you wouldn't want me standing on Fentian's side, would you?"

As he spoke, the vast and abyssal Controller pressure emanating from his body quietly spread outward.

Although this is only the virtual universe.

The oppressive aura belonging to a supreme existence still made the air in the entire private room freeze somewhat.

Not only him — the two other Controllers also faintly exuded their auras.

The pressure of three Controller-level beings, like invisible mountains, bore down heavily on Xu Jingming!

"Threatening me?" Xu Jingming's sword brows lifted.

Not only did he show not the slightest fear, he even revealed a smile:

"Sorry, I'm someone who eats neither soft nor hard."

"The tribunal's matter — my teacher, Controller Shuangmian, will naturally speak for me. No need for the three seniors to trouble yourselves."

"How the trial goes is the tribunal's business; you can say whatever you want."

"I won't keep you company."

"Senior Sister, let's go."

With that, the figures of Xu Jingming and Ye Li suddenly blurred, directly choosing to log off.

"Bang——!!!"

After the two left, Controller Manshan could no longer suppress his rage, slamming a palm fiercely onto the jade table!

That jade table, capable of withstanding attacks from Eternal Gods, instantly exploded into dust; cups, plates, and dishes flew scattering in all directions.

"Damn bastard!"

Controller Manshan growled low, his three-meter-tall frame muscles knotted, blue veins bulging beneath his bronze skin:

"We three Controllers, groveling so humbly before a single Eternal-stage him —

We laid out a two-million-crystal-yuan banquet, and he actually doesn't give this much face?!"

"Thinks he's truly invincible?!"

"An invincible Eternal under fifty years old — his talent is indeed unprecedented through the ages."

The gentle smile on Controller Mixing's face vanished completely, replaced by a stretch of icy coldness:

"Plus with Controller Shuangmian this teacher backing him, being proud and arrogant is normal.

It's just... he's really too ungrateful for the favor."

"Then what do we do now?"

Controller Manshan looked at Controller Heize:

"That ruling between him and Fentian later — we must give him a taste of some color!

Let this brat know, a Controller isn't someone he can afford to offend!"

"No."

Controller Heize shook his head, "In a typical trial, the jury does have some say.

But this time neither side is easy to deal with.

Behind Shuangmian stands Venerable Xiyue; behind Fentian stands Venerable Chiyan.

In a game at this level, the jury has almost no use — it all depends on the Chief Judge's decision."

He paused, then added:

"And things haven't reached that step yet; no need to tear faces now.

This time we'll sell him a face, speak a few good words for him at the tribunal.

When he actually goes to the Heavenly Punishment Star Sector to carry out the trial mission, we'll try again then."

"Can only do it this way then." Controller Manshan, though unwilling in his heart,

Knew Heize spoke reason, and could only nod with a dark face.

Reality, inside the Star Trace spaceship.

In the central control hall, Xu Jingming opened his eyes.

He saw Ye Li across from him staring straight over with those beautiful eyes.

As her gaze flowed, she spoke with undisguised admiration:

"Facing the pressure of three Controllers, not only did you withstand it.

You could even refuse without changing expression......"

Junior brother, your character is even stronger than I imagined.

It's nothing.

Xu Jingming smiled faintly, "Those seven are guilty of heinous crimes, I cannot possibly let them go."

Ye Li nodded slightly, the appreciation in her eyes growing stronger.

She suddenly stood up, her tall and slender figure fully revealed before Xu Jingming.

The hem of her T-shirt lifted slightly with the movement.

A slender, supple waist was exposed, her skin as fair as Bai Xi, dazzling to the eye.

"Just now I have time."

Ye Li looked at Xu Jingming, a flash of eager battle intent crossing her cold pupils:

"Come with me to the virtual universe to train, I need to find the last thread of opportunity to break through the Sovereign stage."

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingming did not refuse.
