The man wore a wooden mask, completely hiding his face, yet failed to conceal his overwhelming presence.
He exuded an air of transcendent elegance and a restrained magnificence, as if naturally formed.
However, it imposed an unprecedented oppression.
The color drained from the faces of some of the seated figures.
"Lord Ying Zhuo?!"
"It’s really Lord Ying!"
In the Judicial Hall, aside from the Elders Council, only Ying had the right to speak and the absolute power to punish.
But he was too mysterious, appearing even less often than the members of the Elders Council.
The Great Elder of the Pill Alliance was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered, "Lord Ying Zhuo, it’s not that we didn’t request the Judicial Hall’s presence. We figured this was merely a matter of the ancient medical field, not significant enough to bother the Judicial Hall with a great mobilization.
"The evil doctor harms ancient medicine; ancient martial artists are responsible for the protection of ancient medicine, and the Judicial Hall has been investigating this matter as well." Fu Yunshen leaned back in his chair, "Overstepping the Judicial Hall, you hastily held a vote to detain the suspect—by whose authority?"
"..."
There was complete silence in the hall.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyes, his expression icy as he smiled, "You certainly have boldness."
Piercingly sharp, none of those present dared to speak out.
Even Xie Nian closed her mouth.
Without a doubt, Ying was surely an ancient martial grandmaster.
Who among them could defeat him?
Whoever has the strongest fist holds the right.
"Brother Ying, long time no see," Cheng Jin greeted, "How come you didn’t visit the Martial Arts Alliance when you returned?"
"I’m busy, don’t bother me."
Cheng Jin: "..."
Fu Yunshen slightly raised his chin, his gaze landing on the Great Elder, "I’m asking you a question."
The Great Elder wiped away his cold sweat, also very nervous, "Lord Ying Zhuo, it’s definitely not how you think. We had evidence before we voted."
"Physical evidence can be fabricated. With an evil doctor involved, how can you brush this off lightly?" Fu Yunshen’s tone was indifferent, "Does Miss Ying have any evidence to prove her alibi?"
Ying Zijin looked at him, "I do."
Yun Shan also wore a mask, standing behind Fu Yunshen, struggling greatly to suppress his laughter.
"Alright, enough with the act. What are you pretending for?" Xie Nian scoffed impatiently, "If you really had evidence, would you have been captured? What were you doing earlier?"
Like Lin Qingjia, they appeared pure and noble on the surface, who knows what filthy dealings they conducted in secret.
Pretentious virtue.
