Chapter 791

【If that is the case, why was this evil beast not executed by an extreme punishment after being subdued, but merely imprisoned?】

【On the Zhuming Xianzhou, the Judges cast the unforgivable and unkillable Abundance creatures into the fires of a star to be burned。】

【So-called immortality is nothing more than a name after all。】

【Is there truly anything in this world that is immortal and indestructible?】

【I wonder why Luo Fu has delayed and suppressed this tumor for so long, leading to today's unmanageable situation?】

【Then again, the people of Luo Fu have always been kind-hearted; even when it comes to the tumor parasitizing the Alchemy Commission, they cannot bear to cut away the flesh to cure the poison, and instead sent the physician who wished to save it to Zhuming Xianzhou。】

Lingsha spoke up in confusion,

but her tone carried a hint of interrogation.

【I can tell that Miss Lingsha harbors resentment toward me。】

【Regarding the resurgence of the Order of the Abundance, General Jing Yuan bears undeniable responsibility。】

【As for why this creature, Hu Lei, was only subdued and imprisoned in the dungeon....】

【I can also explain a thing or two to you。】

Jing Yuan noticed the anger in Lingsha's heart,

and prepared to offer her an explanation.

【This one is merely a humble physician, ignorant of past affairs; I ask the General to enlighten me。】

Lingsha nodded.

Indicating she was all ears.

【Very well, then we shall speak of it slowly along the way。】

Furina: "Oh? Is General Jing Yuan about to explain the past events?"

Furina: "Is this something we are allowed to hear?"

Stelle: "This livestream can't be turned off, so even if we're not supposed to listen, there's nothing we can do about it?"

Jing Yuan: "It's fine; it's hardly something that cannot be spoken of."

Jing Yuan: "Consider it an early resolution of Miss Lingsha's doubts."

Lingsha: "Mm, I have been looking forward to these explanations for quite some time."

March 7th: "The Judges of Zhuming Xianzhou actually use the fire of a star to forge-burn criminals?"

March 7th: "Goodness, that's far too extreme."

March 7th: "At the temperature of a star, what couldn't be burned to death?"

Topaz: "Actually, I'm quite curious—if one were to switch in an Abundance Envoy, would they be burned to death by a star?"

Dr. Ratio: "Theoretically speaking, the power of an Aeons is supreme, far surpassing the fundamental nature of a star."

Dr. Ratio: "Therefore, if the authority They bestow upon Their Envoy is sufficient and strong enough, then presumably the fire of a star would also be unable to harm an Abundance Envoy."

Topaz: "That's true."

Topaz: "Then this Hu Lei counts as half an Abundance Envoy."

Topaz: "I wonder if he could withstand the forge-burning of a star?"

The video continues.

After Jing Yuan finished speaking,

he continued leading the two forward.

After only a few steps,

they arrived before a dead Cloud Knight.

【... This dead Cloud Knight also carries the scent of medicine?】

Faint, wispy pink smoke coiled around this Cloud Knight,

causing Brother Dan Heng some puzzlement.

【No, this should be a Borisin。】

【He didn't have time to revert to his original form before being cut down on the spot by the jailer。】

Lingsha stepped forward to examine carefully,

and reached a conclusion.

【This group of Borisin are all wearing official uniforms。】

【Besides the Cloud Knight, two others presented themselves under the identities of the Skyward Commission and the Artisanship Commission。】

【The one who could arrange these disguises must be high-ranking and powerful.... Let us go look elsewhere。】

Jing Yuan continued onward.

Brother Dan Heng and Lingsha followed closely behind.

After walking for a while, they saw the mangled corpse of a prisoner on the ground.

【Before he died, his artery was bitten open and a large amount of blood was drained。】

【What a brutal and cruel method...】

Brother Dan Heng stepped forward to examine the prisoner's wretched state,

his brows slightly furrowed.

【Without fresh blood and flesh to devour, Borisin will grow ravenous and parched; though they are a long-lived species, they are closer to predatory beasts。】

【I have heard that in the Shackling Prison, Hu Lei is denied food and drink.....】

【It is truly hard to imagine—over seven hundred years without eating or drinking, he must have suppressed his hunger for a very long time。】

【I wonder if the Yaoqing hostage he took can escape this ordeal?】

The wretched state of the person before them,

This made Miss Lingsha somewhat worried about the captured Yaoqing envoy.

【This is precisely the terrifying aspect of those Abundance monsters.】

【We imposed the Sword Tree punishment upon him to wear down his vitality, yet his sentence instead became a test of our patience.】

【As Miss Lingsha said, throwing an unkillable monster into a star is a clean, once-and-for-all solution.】

【Unfortunately.....】

General Jing Yuan shook his head, seeming to want to say something but holding back.

【... Unfortunately, the Foxfolk won't agree to it.】

By this point, Lingsha had basically figured it out.

【Correct. The evil deeds committed by Hulei were not limited to slaughter alone.】

【Across thousands of wars, we tried our best to exterminate the Buli people, but by means of evil arts from unknown origins, he transformed countless Foxfolk into pawns and weapon-beasts under his command, rising again and again.】

【The Foxfolk clan curse his name day and night, even using his name to frighten children into stopping their nighttime crying.】

【To let such a great evil die a satisfying death in a single night — how could the Foxfolk within the Alliance be willing to accept that?】

Ying: "So it really is because of this reason after all?"

Ying: "Because the Foxfolk as a group harbor far too much hatred toward Hulei."

Ying: "So instead they don't want him to die easily, but rather to suffer every extreme punishment."

Paimon: "Paimon can understand the Foxfolk's way of thinking."

Paimon: "Such a detestable beast — letting him die directly would really be way, way, way too easy on him."

Himeko: "But at the same time, keeping this evil beast alive is also a tremendous hidden danger."

Himeko: "Just as at this very moment, if Hulei ultimately does manage to escape, it would clearly be a consequence the Alliance would find extremely hard to bear."

Stelle: "So, my suggestion is, after we catch Hulei this time, we find a way to kill him and cut off future trouble!"

Stelle: "We've already tortured him for seven hundred years anyway, that barely counts as letting him repay some of his sins."

Stelle: "Unless the Alliance can come up with a more reliable method to imprison Hulei."

Firefly: "I agree with Stelle's view."

Firefly: "It's simply that this evil beast is too uncontrollable."

Firefly: "The variables of letting him stay alive are just too great...."

Topaz: "The problem is, regarding how to deal with this Hulei, in the end we still have to see what the Foxfolk group thinks."

Topaz: "If they remain unwilling, the Xianzhoulian Alliance can't rashly decide to just kill Hulei like that."

The video continued.

【I wonder if Miss Lingsha knows why, in the end, Hulei wasn't held by the Yaoqing Xianzhou where the Foxfolk are the majority, but was instead imprisoned solely on Luo Fu?】

General Jing Yuan's tone shifted,
