"Perhaps it is because his True Body is in the Eternal Night, which lies beyond the range of the Eye of Heaven, making it difficult to bring down Heavenly Punishnt," said the Princess in a hushed voice.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue sowhat understood.
It seed that both the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt and the Princess were unaware of the existence of soone who could commit murder without incurring sin.
Could this be a person whose fate is unfathomable?
The elder of the Heaven Patrol Alliance furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, since this is a secret matter, why choose to make it public today?"
"Hiding it is pointless now."
The Princess spoke indifferently, "The Star Lord already knows, and Great Yong has also noticed its existence. It's better to make it known, as a warning."
She glanced at everyone and said, "In any case, my son's death has no connection to the people present. It was for his self-protection. There is no need for further investigation. I should return to my residence."
The boy and girl standing next to her nodded and said, "Yes, Mother."
The crowd was at a loss for words.
Those of the Demon Path rinsed their Divine Souls with Forget Love Netherworld Water, truly epitomizing forgetfulness.
Such indifference was chilling.
"Wait a mont, Fifth Sister," called out the Twelfth Prince, suddenly speaking to the Princess. "Earlier you said that the one who caused Tian Li to vanish was the calamitous Star Lord, but the Wind Monarch from my residence, as well as the legitimate heir of Marquis Dingyuan, have also perished. Did the Star Lord also do this?"
The Princess looked at him expressionlessly and said, "These two were not killed by the Star Lord but by Duanyue Yanluo. You can verify it yourself."
Having said this, she no longer spoke further and, controlling the Netherworld River, took her children and left.
The gazes of all present shifted toward the man with white floral hair and a mask in the crowd, especially Marquis Dingyuan, whose eyes turned ice cold, his chilling aura slowly spreading.
Instantly, the crowd around Lin Yue uniformly stepped back, leaving a vast empty space in midair.
Lin Yue remained silent but transmitted a Divine Thought to Yu Shiqi, "Little Yu, listen, no matter what happens, do not get involved. Act as if this has nothing to do with you, understand?"
Yu Shiqi was sowhat stunned but still agreed, "I understand, Your Highness. You be careful as well."
Lin Yue maintained a calm expression.
"My lord."
At this mont, two n in black robes flew out, guiltily saying, "Indeed, the young master was killed by this person. We have failed in our duty as Guards. Please, My Lord, punish us."
"Step back," ordered Marquis Dingyuan coldly.
The Twelfth Prince, anwhile, looked at Lin Yue strangely and asked, "Are you Duanyue Yanluo?"
"It was I," Lin Yue said calmly.
The Twelfth Prince did not ntion any disguise of royalty, only slowly saying, "You've killed a Purple Cloud Envoy of the Heaven Patrol Alliance and the heir of Marquis Dingyuan; such great sins, are you aware of the consequences?"
"Consequences?"
Lin Yue countered, "In the Secret Cave Heaven, death is expected. They killed and looted treasures; I rely treated them in kind. What is wrong with that?"
The Twelfth Prince did not reply, but rather glanced at the Head of the Qingtian Bureau.
Imdiately understanding, the Head scrutinized Lin Yue and said, "You are mistaken. Within the borders of Jingzhou, one cannot speak casually of killing, even within the previous dynasty's Grotto Heaven. Is murder within there not a cri? Great Yong has no such rules."
He stared at Lin Yue and continued, "The Qingtian Bureau was established exactly for this reason; to discern right from wrong through the law."
Lin Yue sneered inwardly.
The Qingtian Bureau was like a constable among Cultivators but was just a mouthpiece; it would turn a deaf ear toward those it could not afford to provoke, regardless of any guilt.
Ultimately, it was a matter of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
After all, the Qingtian Bureau only dealt with the punishnt of Cultivators without sin; those guilty of major cris were judged by the higher authority of the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt.
"Officer Yu."
The Head of the Qingtian Bureau turned to the Chief Punishnt Officer of the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt and bowed, "Such boisterous chaos and killing a Purple Cloud Envoy and the heir of Marquis Dingyuan, these heavy sins should indeed be judged by the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt."
The Chief Punishnt Officer of the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt said nothing, only looked toward Lin Yue as a vertical eye slowly erged on his forehead, also gazing at Lin Yue.
Within the vertical eye on the brow, lightning flashed faintly.
At this mont, Lin Yue felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance, as if scrutinized by the Eye of Heaven!
Was this the capability of the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt, which enforces celestial decrees?
It was said that even the most ordinary Execution Master of the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt, once opening the Heavenly Punishnt Eye and using a special Heavenly Punishnt Treasure, could ensure certain death to anyone below a Great Cultivator if their sins were too great, no matter their power.
Even a demon slaughtering Great Cultivators with the Four Symbols Body could not withstand a gentle strike from a Heavenly Punishnt Treasure when overwheld by deep sins.
Such a strike would eradicate the sinner and the Cultivator's essence, akin to strict celestial laws.
"Hm?"
After scrutinizing Lin Yue for a while, the brow's vertical eye of the Chief Punishnt Officer closed again, and he shook his head, "He bears no sins."
The Twelfth Prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you certain?"
The Chief Punishnt Officer slowly shook his head, "The Eye of Heavenly Punishnt follows the Will of Heavenly Dao; how could it be mistaken?"
He did not elaborate, and upon turning around, he said, "Since there is no sinner here, the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt need not intervene. I shall return to report to my superior. Farewell."
