Is there such a thing? How serious is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The death penalty might be required” the armor answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, go ahead” the black robe woman thought for a bit, then said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving her permission, the two rows of armors marched to either sides of Su Xue Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Xue Er?” the leading armor spoke in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is me”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sentinel has summoned you to receive interrogation”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er still hung her head, her emotions calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what I wanted, if only a bit slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke: “Why me? Didn’t those girls tried to frame me and was disciplined by the Gurus?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor spoke: “This time, what you did is punishable by death, so all 7 Gurus are present”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black robe woman was clearly in high spirits when hearing that: “To gain the attention of the 7 Gurus, not to mention punishable by death, it seems you’ve done something that I didn’t know about”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er looked at her and begged: “I beg you, please save me”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black robe woman was originally still a bit hesitant, but as she hears this, she smiled and waved her hand: “This is fine too, go and face your fate, I won’t bother with you”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Xue Er, come with me to the House of Law, lest we use violence” the armor coldly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Su Xue Er could answer, she was already surrounded by 7-8 armors without a single chance to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er wasn’t panicked at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then please show the way, I also want to see just what schemes they’ve hatched this time” she calmly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She followed the armors into the gate and disappeared from this space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black robe woman stood there for a bit, muttering to herself: “The House of Law… entry is blocked unless invited, that’s fine too, it’s better if I don’t have to act myself”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When leaving Guru Isa’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er followed the two rows of armor, currently crossing a phantom bridge dangling above a bottomless abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chilly wind continues to blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She controlled herself as well as her gaze to not look at whatever gigantic shadowy beings below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed the hanging bridge was a wide hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every dozen meters, a new burning torch could be seen lined the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They light up the darkness, chasing away the chill and wetness in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having the 7 Gurus waiting for her, Su Xue Er only moved forward slowly step by step, not using any power at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This perfectly follows the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Institute is built in the air, the entire structure is outfitted with anti-magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Disciples aren’t allowed to use their powers in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Areas that allows the usage of power is marked clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, the Institute hidden deep inside the Fog Isle wouldn’t attract the attention of powerful monsters from across the realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took Su Xue Er almost half an hour to reach the House of Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magnificent House of Law looks like it was built with an ancient Gothic-style architecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they passed through the gates of the House of law, a path lead straight towards a large throne situated on high in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the throne was a skeleton hanging its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton man wore a blood-red coat, leaning back on the throne, unmoving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood flows like a river, manifesting behind him to form a magnificent sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river of blood took up all the space behind the skeleton, blocking out everything from the floor to the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense current of blood silently flowed, occasionally splashing waves onto itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river flowed upwards, not downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person that carries a river of blood behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a legendary character even in the Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Bloodcloak, the Institute’s Sentinel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of statues lined up on either side of the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of these statues held a different posture, giving off a solemn air of being watched and judged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few cloaked girls stood absolutely still in the middle of the path and didn’t dare to even breathe too heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they saw Su Xue Er approaching, they looked up at her with triumphant eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two rows of armors knelt on one knee and reported: “Sentinel, the 7 Elders, we have brought her here”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton sitting on the throne looked up and spoke: “Step down”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of armors stood up, bowed slightly before leaving the House of Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Xue Er”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Bloodcloak leaned on the throne and asked with a hoarse voice: “You have committed a crime punishable by death, what do you have to say for yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er looked at him and very casually bowed to etiquette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She answered: “Sentinel, I do not even know what my crime is”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Bloodcloak answered: “Possession of heretical techniques”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er smirked and replied: “Heretical techniques? I do not know of any heretical techniques”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But someone had claimed that they saw you reading from a note of heretical techniques” Lord Bloodcloak answered her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then please have her step forward and confront me” Su Xue Er replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how confident she was, Lord Bloodcloak’s tone softened slightly and said: “You lot, what do you have to say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls standing in the middle of the path exchange looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One day during nighttime’s rest, I saw her reading from a small booklet, she was so focused on it that she didn’t notice me approaching her” one of the girls spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another added: “When she was reading from that booklet, I happened to read one line in there”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What line?” the Lord asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The path of cultivation is split into realms, first is Qi Training, then Foundation Establishment” she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, of the dozens of statues on either sides of the road, seven of them spoke up one by one:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heresy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heresy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heresy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heresy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heresy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heresy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heresy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Bloodcloak’s tone became fierce: “Su Xue Er, studying heretical techniques is a crime punishable by death, what else do you have to say for yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rusty long blade appeared from thin air, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless screams could be heard from the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls exchanged looks to see the excitement in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This living person who arrived at Fog Isle will finally have to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to enjoy the look of fear in Su Xue Er’s eyes before her death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Xue Er only smiled and calmly replied: “One day, during nighttime’s rest, I saw them flipping through a small booklet, which contains a line ——— The path of cultivation is split into realms, first is Qi Training, then Foundation Establishment”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are probably afraid that I will report them, that is why they went ahead and instead reported me to the elders first”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls instantly shouted back: “Such nonsense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er kept her hands behind her back and spoke without worry: “That is the truth”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Bloodcloak became silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems someone is looking down on me, to dare to lie in the House of Law in front of myself and the 7 Gurus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started to snicker in a low voice: “The consequence of trying to fool us isn’t just a simple felony”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and took a scroll from the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Xue Er, do not resist”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lord Bloodcloak said so, the scroll flew up and left a bloody glow behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scroll itself wasn’t gone, but scattered into countless blood-colored sprites that circled around Su Xue Er once before returning to the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lord Bloodcloak’s hand was a small booklet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inside your accommodation, within a newly carved corner, there was this book” Lord Bloodcloak spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s that!” one of the girls yelled with a high-pitched voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Bloodcloak took the small booklet and began to read through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his tone became very gentle: “Right, Su Xue Er’s parents died during that war, giving up their lives for the sake of the Institute”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This booklet was her mother’s study notes back then”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can still remember that girl —-she was a bright student, let me read a bit more…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, found it, this class was one that taught about the origin power of all worlds”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was the one who taught that class, what’s written in here was my view of the worlds’ origin power at the time, so she remembered everything”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Bloodcloak’s tone started to become heated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There were also her questions and my answers, yes, that’s right, this is how I would always answer…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a good student she was”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Bloodcloak closed the booklet in nostalgia and looked at Su Xue Er.\u003C\u002Fp>",2055,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","01f3f4ae4c5673b0428be294eb111a0f9328535dc75d8b34d8d08935dc53aad1","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-343","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-341",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
