Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Execution Day

Too fast!

Tuoba Qiu and Wu Zongming, along with a few others, had complex expressions on their faces.

They remembered that when they first met Lin Yi, he was only at the First Level of the True Man Realm!

But now, in less than two months, Lin Yi had raised his cultivation to the Fifth Level of the True Man Realm!

This pace was simply outrageous!

Even Xie Zhi Dao, one of the Holy Mansion’s top Heavenly Prides, paled in comparison to Lin Yi.

A hint of astonishment flashed through Lou Tingyu’s eyes before she finally said, "Master Wu Liang has already been taken to the Heavenly Punishment Hall Square."

"In two hours, the execution will be carried out."

"Are you sure you still want to intervene?"

"Of course."

Lin Yi nodded his head, his heart unwavering in the slightest.

He must save Master Wu Liang.

That was his promise to Master Wu Liang and the people of the Shi Country’s Holy Mansion.

With that thought, Lin Yi’s figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

...

Holy Mansion, Heavenly Punishment Hall Square.

The square was already surrounded by a crowd.

In the center of the square, a prisoner was tied to the gallows, it was Master Wu Liang.

At that moment, Master Wu Liang, with tattered clothes and a vacant expression, his eyes lifeless, had clearly suffered tremendously and was utterly devastated.

Each Holy Mansion Elder and disciple watching coldly stared at Master Wu Liang.

Malicious curses came streaming from their mouths.

In their eyes, Master Wu Liang was a shameless bastard, utterly disgraceful.

Not only did he commit unspeakably vile acts against his own junior sister,

but he also dared to fraudulently use their Holy Mansion’s name to deceive and lead astray outside.

Such a man, even a death by a thousand cuts, was not excessive.

At that moment, they all wished they could rush the stage and kill Master Wu Liang, this "scum."

On a platform not far away stood a white-robed old man with a noble and benevolent demeanor, it was the Holy Mansion’s Third Elder!

He scanned the heated atmosphere around him and then glanced at Wu Liang, a sharp gleam of coldness suddenly flashing through the depths of his eyes.

Beside him sat the head of the Heavenly Punishment Hall, Xing Wufa.

This Xing Wufa, after exchanging a look with the Third Elder, suddenly announced loudly, "The criminal Wu Liang, has violated the clan’s rules and defiled his junior sister, a beast in human form. Furthermore, he secretly fled to Shi Country and illicitly established a Holy Mansion branch, damaging the reputation of our Holy Mansion."

"Now for these two crimes combined, he is sentenced to be hanged, effective immediately!"

As his words fell, two disciples of the Heavenly Punishment Hall moved to Wu Liang’s side to carry out the hanging.

"Hold on!"

Just as these two disciples of the Heavenly Punishment Hall were about to act, a voice suddenly called out.

All eyes immediately turned to the source of the voice, which was none other than Lin Yi!

"Lin Yi?"

The previously lifeless Master Wu Liang, seeing Lin Yi appear, a look of shock suddenly emerged in his hollow eyes.

So Lin Yi actually came?

When he was taken away by the people from the Main Academy, Lin Yi had indeed said that he would definitely come to the Holy Mansion Main Courtyard to save him.

But he had thought Lin Yi was merely making a grand promise to comfort him.

Yet, this youngster had actually overcome all obstacles and arrived at the Holy Mansion Main Courtyard!

This made Wu Liang feel a surge of tears welling up in his eyes.

"Boy, by blocking the execution at the Heavenly Punishment Hall, what are you trying to achieve?"

Xing Wufa looked at Lin Yi, his eyebrows immediately furrowing.

Everyone in the square also turned their gazes toward Lin Yi, their eyes filled with confusion.

"There’s more to Wu Liang’s defilement of the sister disciple!"

In front of all eyes, Lin Yi was not the slightest bit timid and declared loudly, "He’s been framed; the real culprit is someone else!"

As soon as these words were uttered, they immediately caused an uproar in the square.

The real culprit is someone else?

What does that mean—is there a twist in this case?

Upon hearing this, Xing Wufa’s face changed abruptly, and he said sternly, "The matter of Wu Liang has already been concluded. Even he himself has confessed. What problem could there still be?"

However, Lin Yi did not respond to Xing Wufa but turned to look at Master Wu Liang on the gallows, "Old Wuliang, at this point, what more are you afraid to say?"

"I know the murderer is not you but another person! This person holds a respected and powerful position in the Holy Mansion! He framed you and made you the scapegoat!"

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, a look of shock immediately washed over Master Wu Liang’s face. He had never mentioned anything about the Third Elder to Lin Yi, yet now the young man spoke so convincingly!

It indicated that during his time in the Holy Mansion, Lin Yi must have indeed discovered something!

"Lin Yi, this other person you speak of, who do you mean?"

Xing Wufa stared coldly at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi wasn’t the least bit flustered, and his gaze shifted slightly, "It’s this Third Elder beside you."

What, the Third Elder?

The entire square instantly erupted into a massive commotion.

The Third Elder is the true mastermind behind this affair? How could that be?

"Lin Yi, do you have any proof of what you say?"

Xing Wufa’s expression darkened, "Do you realize that slandering an elder with unfounded accusations is a grave offense?"

"Of course!"

Lin Yi sneered, "I have a witness who can testify!"

As he spoke, a female figure appeared in the execution ground—it was none other than Qin Feiyue!

Seeing Qin Feiyue, both Xing Wufa and several Heavenly Punishment Hall elders slightly changed their expressions. They knew well that Qin Feiyue was the victim in this case years ago. Her appearance now—could it mean she genuinely intended to overturn the case?

It couldn’t be, could the real culprit actually be the Third Elder?

Their eyes fell on the Third Elder one after another; however, they could not discern any change in expression on his face.

Seeing this, Lin Yi also couldn’t help but frown slightly, "This old fox, to remain so composed at such a time."

Even he had to admire the Third Elder’s composure.

But no matter how composed this old man was, today he would be brought down!

"Elder Qin Feiyue!"

Lin Yi called out loudly to Qin Feiyue, "The truth of what happened back then—please tell it all now!"

As long as Qin Feiyue was willing to reveal the truth, then the events of that year could be reversed. Even if the case might not be completely overturned, at least Master Wu Liang’s life could be saved.

Qin Feiyue seemed to understand and nodded her head, "The truth of that year is..."

Everyone leaned forward eagerly.

Lin Yi included.

However, at this moment, her lips suddenly curled into a cold smirk, giving Lin Yi an ominous feeling!

"My fellow disciple Wu Liang raped me."

"At my most difficult and helpless moment, it was the Master, the Third Elder, who apprehended the villain Wu Liang and gave me the courage to continue living."

"Therefore, I will never allow anyone to slander my Master or try to frame him."
