Chapter 1051: Chen Ling is Innocent

Chen Ling is Innocent

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

[Current Expectation Value: 91%]

Pitch-black chains extended from the nothingness, wrapping around Chen Ling's body, confining all his movements... Coldness and heaviness wrapped around Chen Ling's body. He seemed to realize something, raising his gaze to lock eyes with Han Meng on the Tribunal.

Judgment, once again in session.

And this time's target... was Chen Ling.

"Hey hey hey!! Han Meng!!! What are you doing?!!"

Several figures rushed out from behind the shattered door. Jian Changsheng and the others saw this scene, and their faces instantly turned ugly.

Jian Changsheng grew up in the Aurora Domain since childhood, so he naturally knew the past of that legendary Enforcer, and also knew some of the past events between this guy and Chen Ling... So when Han Meng appeared and blasted open space, Jian Changsheng naturally thought that the other party was also here to save Chen Ling.

What exactly did he want to do!!

"What the hell, isn't he here to save someone??" Sun Bumian turned his head and asked Jian Changsheng.

"How would I know!" Jian Changsheng gritted his teeth. "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be... They should be considered colleagues in the Aurora Domain, how come they are fighting again now??"

"Save him first!!" Jiang Xiaohua cleanly spat out three words.

The three of them unhesitatingly charged toward the direction of the defendant's dock, but before they could even take a few steps, Han Meng raised the small wooden gavel in his hand and gently struck it down.

Bang——!

The figures of the trio of Jian Changsheng were frozen in place.

Han Meng's gaze shifted away from the trio of Jian Changsheng and looked at Chen Ling again. Those deep eyes flickered brightly and dimly. He remained silent for a long time, but still spoke:

"Grand Sin Judgment, the court is in session."

Mysterious Markings also climbed onto Chen Ling's body through the chains. The blood-covered Great Crimson Theatrical Robe was bound by chains, and eight hideous bloody wounds were still slowly seeping fresh blood outward...

A pool of blood smudged beneath Chen Ling's feet. The entire Tribunal fell into a bizarre dead silence.

But soon, angry curses broke the silence:

"Fuck your mother Han Meng!!"

Jian Changsheng couldn't move his body and could only hurl abuse. "We are all old acquaintances from Aurora City anyway. It's one thing if you don't save him when seeing him in danger, but what's the meaning of dropping stones down the well at a time like this?? And here I thought you were a rare good person, now I realize I was really blind...

If you have the guts, let me go!! If you can kill me in the Tribunal, I'll admit you're awesome!!"

Seemingly feeling that he was too noisy, Han Meng couldn't help but glance at him one more time. He once again raised the small gavel in his hand and swung it down...

"Chief of Judgment, right? You wait until the day I become a Pathway Chief, I..."

Bang——

Jian Changsheng's mouth closed tightly, as if it had been sewn shut.

His eyes widened, staring fixedly at Han Meng, looking as if he wished he could skin him alive and swallow him whole... Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua's faces were also incomparably ugly.

"One after another... I've really had enough." Sun Bumian muttered to himself. "Having lived for so many lifetimes, this is the first time feeling so stifled, actually not being able to beat anyone..."

Mo Lian, Silver King, high-rank Fire-Stealers, Hide and Seek, Huang He, Han Meng... Along this journey, the trio of Sun Bumian suffered defeat after defeat, taking dimensional strikes from high-rank powerhouses. In this Wuji Domain war, the role they could play was truly too small.

Unwillingness and anger had long been suppressed at the bottom of the trio's hearts, becoming increasingly intense as the war progressed. The current Sun Bumian was almost unable to hold back anymore...

Rings of ripples smudged out from his pupils. Accompanied by the rise of Sun Bumian's anger and unwillingness, a mysterious power slowly leaked outward from deep within his body.

Han Meng suddenly seemed to sense something and looked over here again, only to see that Sun Bumian's figure, which was pinned dead in place, was actually starting to loosen bit by bit!

He was breaking free from the restraints of "order" bit by bit.

Sun Bumian slowly raised his head, his Round Sunglasses sliding down a little on his nose bridge. A pair of pupils nested with colorful rings seemed to start burning, currently gazing at Han Meng on the Tribunal across the space... like a lion about to go berserk.

And similarly about to break free from the restraints was Jiang Xiaohua, who had always remained silent.

If Han Meng could faintly sense the power inside Sun Bumian's body, then regarding Jiang Xiaohua, he truly had zero perception. He didn't even know what method the other party was using to break free from the restraints, and the progress was even faster than Sun Bumian's!

These three guys... exactly what kind of background are they?

A touch of confusion flashed across Han Meng's heart.

"Don't mind me."

Right at this moment, Chen Ling's voice rang out calmly from the defendant's dock. Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua simultaneously froze in place.

Chen Ling stood there quietly, his gaze watching the black-clothed figure at the highest point of the Tribunal, replying calmly with an indifferent and casual tone,

"If you want to judge me... then come."

Although Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua didn't understand, they still didn't continue to forcefully break free. Only Jian Changsheng, whose mouth was sealed, glared at Han Meng, his gaze still cursing quite unpleasantly.

Han Meng looked at Chen Ling again. The two exchanged glances for a moment, and a touch of dark red once again occupied Han Meng's pupils...

"In court..."

Han Meng had just opened his mouth when his entire person was stunned.

Those dark red pupils stared fixedly at Chen Ling. The gaze that saw through everything showed shock and bewilderment for the very first time...

The Great Crimson Theatrical Robe stood quietly in the defendant's dock, seemingly waiting for his next verdict.

An unknown amount of time passed before Han Meng's voice rang out again:

"In court... Scarlet Sovereign of the Ghost Mockery Abyss, King of No-Phase who Mocks Fate..."

Han Meng's voice was deep and serious. His gaze at Chen Ling changed continuously. Pausing for a second in the middle, he continued speaking, "Enforcer of Aurora City, Six of Hearts of the Dusk Society... Chen Ling."

The trio of Jian Changsheng was stunned.

They simultaneously looked at Chen Ling in confusion. The latter few sentences were absolutely fine, but that first sentence... what was going on? When a World-Ending Calamity Fusionist was subjected to the Grand Sin Judgment, would they be called by a world-ending title?

All three of them were coming into contact with the Grand Sin Judgment for the first time, and were somewhat baffled for a time. Yet Chen Ling seemed completely unsurprised by this verdict... He merely smiled faintly and patiently waited for the next verdict.

Mysterious Markings continuously searched Chen Ling's body through the chains. Those dark red pupils of Han Meng always watched Chen Ling, as if searching for all his "criminal evidence".

Time passed minute by minute, second by second.

An unknown amount of time passed before Han Meng finally closed his eyes tiredly...

As if a heavy stone in his heart had finally fallen, Han Meng's tense expression stretched and relaxed. He gently raised his hand. The "criminal evidence" of Chen Ling compiled by Huang He, which originally scattered on the ground, spontaneously combusted out of thin air, turning into ashes bit by bit within the Tribunal.

Han Meng opened his eyes again, the corner of his mouth curving up into a faint smile, speaking as if relieved of a heavy burden:

"Chen Ling... is innocent."
