Chapter 537: Discussion! General Councilor Zhou Intervenes!

"According to the investigation, on November 8th, Wang Mang."

"After being eliminated from the Genius Tournament qualifiers by Xu Jingming, he contacted the Blood Wing Organization."

"He arranged for assassins to attack Song Song Qiuyun and Jiang Jiang Chu Chu Xuan respectively, attempting to kill them, but the mission ultimately failed."

"After the qualifiers ended, Xu Jingming returned from the virtual world and locked onto Wang Mang as the culprit through unknown means."

"He immediately took a fighter jet to Sichuan Province overnight and killed Wang Mang in a private villa."

Cao Jun's voice echoed in this world; his bright, piercing eyes looked at Su Su Qingli in her seat:

"Councilor Su, Xu Jingming is your student; you speak first about how this matter should be handled."

Because of vendettas, the number of Awakened who die in the entire Daxia every day is unknown.

Bringing Xu Jingming's matter alone to the National Council for discussion is purely because Xu Jingming's identity is not simple.

He is the genius with the best talent in Daxia today!

In addition, the victim's side also involves a Rank 9 Councilor.

That is why it was brought over as an agenda item to discuss the final handling method for Xu Jingming.

Seeing Cao Jun mention Su Su Qingli, the many powerhouses present subconsciously looked at her.

Although Su Su Qingli's seat in the National Council is relatively far back, that is also because she only entered Rank 9 three years ago.

In reality,

Being able to have her ranking in the National Council rise several levels in just three years.

Reaching a position close to the middle is already very terrifying.

For this peerless genius who was the champion of the previous Genius Tournament, the people present naturally would not underestimate her.

"Xu Jingming is my student; I naturally know his temper."

Despite the gazes of many powerhouses, and among them were even Rank 9 Peak Awakened.

Su Su Qingli's pretty face remained as usual, her red lips moved slightly, and her crisp and pleasant voice rang out:

"Xu Jingming is kind by nature, firm in will, and has great enthusiasm for killing ferocious beasts."

"From his enrollment at the Magic City Awakened University to entering my Thunder Martial Arts Hall's Genius Training Camp and becoming my student."

"In the year and a half during this period, he spent almost two-thirds of his time in the wilderness, fighting ferocious beasts to the death."

"Even before the Genius Tournament started, he was still in the Kanda wilderness of Myanmar hunting ferocious beasts."

"This point, as long as you investigate a little, you can know the truth."

As the words fell, many of the councilor powerhouses present were nodding secretly.

As an SS-rank Awakened, they had long ago investigated Xu Jingming's relevant information.

Naturally, they knew that Su Su Qingli was not lying.

And an Awakened like Xu Jingming who desperately hunts ferocious beasts is easily recognized by powerhouses.

Especially those Awakened who came from that dark, chaotic era.

"But even such a firm-willed ascetic has his reverse scale, and that is his family!"

Su Su Qingli's beautiful eyes had faint anger surging, "My Daxia has long had laws prohibiting attacks on the families of Awakened."

"But this Wang Mang not only ignored the prohibition, but actually dared to contact an assassin organization that is absolutely prohibited in Daxia to buy murder!"

"His crime deserves death!"

"What Xu Jingming did was just a normal reaction."

"Therefore, I suggest that there is no need to punish Xu Jingming!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was quite surprised.

Although Wang Mang was at fault first in this matter, Xu Jingming did kill someone after all.

Even if you are biased, you should at least put on a show and give some training.

Not to mention much, giving a few billion would be enough to save face.

But I didn't expect Su Su Qingli to be so tough, not even suggesting a single punishment.

Now, Wang Zhen is probably going to jump up.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Su Qingli's words fell, Wang Zhen's face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily:

"Su Su Qingli! You are too much!"

"No matter how wrong Mang'er is, it should be handled by the law; it's not Xu Jingming's turn to take action privately!"

"My suggestion is to imprison Xu Jingming in the Deep Sea Prison and suppress him for 10 years first!"

The Deep Sea Prison is the most heavily guarded prison in Daxia.

Located deep under the sea at a depth of 1,000 meters, those imprisoned there do not see the sun and are extremely miserable.

It is usually only used to imprison serious criminals of Rank 7 Grandmaster level and above.

Using it to imprison Xu Jingming is obviously inappropriate.

Therefore, many powerhouses present shook their heads, and Cao Jun, the meeting host, also frowned.

"Law? You know how to talk about the law now?"

Su Su Qingli snorted coldly and scolded:

"Your son, with the help of the power in his hands, has killed more than a hundred ordinary people and Awakened!"

"These matters are enough for him to die dozens of times! You even personally handled the mess for him at the Public Security Bureau more than once."

"At that time, why didn't you talk about the law?"

"You!"

Wang Zhen glared at Su Su Qingli, but could not find any words to refute.

Because what Su Su Qingli said was the truth.

"Councilor Su is right; Xu Jingming really shouldn't be punished."

At this time, another voice rang out.

This person was wearing a scarlet combat suit, his posture was straight, and his entire body emitted a terrifying, sharp aura.

Seeing him was like seeing an endless sea of corpses and blood.

This person was none other than Blood Sword, who had traveled thousands of kilometers to destroy the Tianyu Dojo branch in the Sakura Country!

"Wang Mang was just a playboy."

"He had no use for our society at all, and was even like a parasite."

"Killing him was a good thing."

Blood Sword's indifferent voice rang out.

Wang Zhen looked at him with some fear, but dared not say anything.

Blood Sword is a madman; from his rise to the present, he has always been a loner.

Refuting Su Su Qingli, the other party would at most be unhappy with him.

But if he provoked Blood Sword, he might not even be able to keep his own life.

"This matter was indeed Wang Mang's fault first, but Xu Jingming acting without authorization is also not according to the rules."

At this time, another voice rang out.

The one speaking was an old man in the third seat on the right hand side of the empty seat.

This old man was named Li Li Chunhai, the ancestor of the Li family, a Rank 9 Upper-level Awakened.

"My suggestion is to imprison Xu Jingming in a Level 1 prison."

"Daily cultivation is not restricted, and the time does not need to be too long; only three years is enough."

"This can also be considered a punishment for him."

As the old man's words fell, Su Su Qingli's pretty face turned cold.

This Li family was the one that joined forces with the Vice Hall Master to try to replace her.

And the other party's suggestion was indeed lighter than Wang Zhen's punishment.

But Xu Jingming would have to spend three whole years in prison, losing his freedom.

This was something she could not accept no matter what.

"I agree with Councilor Li's suggestion."

"I also agree."

"Xu Jingming is young and vigorous; he really needs to have his sharp edge dulled."

"......"

The Li family had three councilors; as Li Li Chunhai's words fell, several Rank 9 councilors immediately echoed and nodded.

Seeing this, Wang Zhen's originally ugly face relaxed a lot.

And Cao Jun, as the meeting host, was also a bit conflicted.

From his own feelings, he, like Su Su Qingli, did not support punishing Xu Jingming.

Even if punished, at most it would be paying some money.

But the National Council is not decided by him alone; it needs to summarize everyone's opinions.

Just as he was pondering and preparing to start counting the votes, a mechanical electronic voice suddenly rang out from the sky:

"Councilors! General Councilor Zhou already has a handling opinion on Xu Jingming's problem."

As the words fell, the many councilors present were suddenly stunned.

General Councilor Zhou Zhou Yuanwu is the strongest person above Rank 9!

His strength is unrivaled in the entire Daxia, and he is one of the few Awakened standing at the very peak of Blue Star.

Usually, if there is no major event, he would not participate in this National Council at all.

But I didn't expect that he would actually intervene in the handling of Xu Jingming now! ===== CHAPTER 538 =====
