Chapter 1312: Chapter 1312: How Do You Know If You Don’t Try?

Qiu Tianlin furrowed his brow as he observed the sudden eruption of demonic Qi. With his strength, repelling the intrusion of these demonic energies was no issue at all.

However, for the others, once the demonic Qi entered their bodies, they would either deviate into the demonic path or be completely corrupted into uselessness.

Yet, before Qiu Tianlin could act, Su Chengyu had already stepped forward, releasing the Five-Color Divine Light to its utmost extent and maximally protecting everyone together.

"Hmm?"

Qiu Tianlin looked at this divine light with some surprise. He couldn’t discern the details of the light, but the demonic Qi was fully blocked upon nearing it.

After warding off the attack, Su Chengyu also heaved a great sigh of relief. With the Heaven-Mending Stone on his person, he himself was not troubled by the effects, but he wasn’t completely sure about protecting all four of them.

"Are you from the Demon Slayer Department?"

Just as Su Chengyu confirmed everyone was unharmed, Qiu Tianlin’s voice rose again beside him.

Su Chengyu instantly realized, Qiu Tianlin assumed that his method of blocking the demonic Qi originated from the Demon Slayer Department, especially since Red Flame had demonstrated the ability to resist Dao Heart Demon Seed at the demon expulsion conference.

Before Su Chengyu could respond, Yang Junmo spoke first, "This guy is about to become a Substitute Holy Envoy for the Demon Slayer Department, a true member of the department!"

Qiu Tianlin glanced at Yang Junmo with narrowed eyes and said, "Are you the son of Yang Chengyin?"

Yang Junmo, upon realizing the other recognized him, immediately revealed a smile, "I am Yang Junmo, junior, pleased to meet the Master of the Heavenly Punishment Department."

Looking at Yang Junmo, who was overtly trying to curry favor, Qiu Tianlin merely sneered softly.

"Don’t try to cozy up to me. I have no particular connection to Yang Chengyin. Not to mention, even if you are from the Demon Slayer Department, it does not make up for the mistakes you have committed."

Hearing this, Su Chengyu immediately spoke up, "Senior, as I’ve said before, we have no intention of tampering with the Dragon Vein."

"You do not, but what about her?"

Qiu Tianlin’s gaze fell on Bei Tang Lin in the distance.

Upon recognizing Qiu Tianlin’s power, Bei Tang Lin immediately retreated behind Bei Tang Qianxiao, fearful that the next moment the Master of the Heavenly Punishment Department might split her in two.

Su Chengyu glanced at Bei Tang Qianxiao, and seeing her uneasy expression, she pondered briefly before saying, "Senior, this indeed is a wrongdoing committed by my Beitang Family. We are willing to take responsibility for it."

"Good, since you are willing to speak reasonably, I will not bully the lesser. This one’s life as recompense, and the rest of you may leave."

Qiu Tianlin spoke but did not immediately act, waiting instead for everyone’s reply.

Hearing this, Su Chengyu’s first reaction was to turn and look towards Bei Tang Qianxiao.

At this moment, however, Bei Tang Qianxiao’s expression was also extremely troubled, deep in thought.

Sensing the atmosphere around, Bei Tang Lin immediately looked towards Bei Tang Qianxiao and said.

"Cousin, you won’t give me up just so you all can live, right? Cousin, I did this for the Beitang Family too!"

"Shut up!"

Bei Tang Qianxiao frowned instantly, not understanding how a usually smart girl could be so foolish at a time like this.

At this time, dragging the Beitang Family into this, do you really want to drag the entire Beitang Family down?

Bei Tang Lin grew even more alarmed when she saw Qianxiao’s attitude. She looked around and then her gaze fell on Su Chengyu, "It’s all because of you! If you hadn’t brought me here, how could this have happened? It was clearly you who found this place!"

"Bei Tang Lin!"

Slap!

With the falling of her words, Qianxiao’s slap landed directly on Bei Tang Lin’s face.

Bei Tang Lin’s behavior made Qianxiao, who had intended to save her, unsure how to even begin speaking.

With such a person, how was she to plead with Qiu Tianlin for mercy, to spare her life?

While Qianxiao was internally conflicted, Su Chengyu spoke up, "Senior, it is indeed her fault at first, but to demand her life, isn’t the punishment a bit too severe?"

"Too severe?"

Qiu Tianlin sneered and looked at everyone, "Although this dragon vein is still some distance from the Capital City, should any abnormal turmoil occur, the entire Capital City would be affected. Do you know how many common people would die from this change in fortune? Thousands? Tens of thousands? It’s tens of millions! Her single life in exchange for tens of millions, how could that be considered too severe?"

Su Chengyu didn’t argue; he understood Qiu Tianlin’s words were not alarmist—the dragon vein’s influence was indeed vast enough to extend so widely, and being very close to the Capital City, the consequences could only be greater than imagined.

After briefly glancing at Qianxiao, Su Chengyu still spoke, "Senior, although this matter was indeed initiated by Bei Tang Lin, I who brought her here am also at fault, and Qianxiao who didn’t stop it is also at fault. How about we share the blame?"

Qiu Tianlin’s expression held a hint of amusement as he looked at Su Chengyu and said, "This girl just tried to push all the blame onto you and others, and you still want to speak for her?"

Su Chengyu blinked and calmly said, "I’m not speaking for her; I just don’t want my friend to be in a difficult position."

Qianxiao, hearing this, froze on the spot, realizing that Su Chengyu was speaking up entirely because of her.

Just as she was about to speak, Su Chengyu shook his head, stopping her, while Qiu Tianlin coldly spoke from afar.

"Then what if I say, if you all share the blame, you all must die?"

Su Chengyu frowned and retorted, "How does that make sense? Which law of Xia Country have we violated that warrants all of our lives?"

Hearing Su Chengyu say this, Qiu Tianlin coldly said, "Heaven Punishment Department represents the law; in all matters relating to the Xiaguo Monk and Martial Artists, we can override the emperor to directly convict. Didn’t you know that?"

Su Chengyu was taken aback and then looked towards Yang Jun Mo, whose complexion was grim as he nodded and then transmitted a message: "Heaven Punishment Department indeed has the authority to execute first and report later. At the Honorable Level, even if it’s against the Royal Family, they can directly convict and execute."

"So? Do you still wish to protect her?" Qiu Tianlin asked again.

Su Chengyu continued, "Senior misunderstands, I’ve never thought of protecting her. However, I believe that even though Bei Tang Lin was indeed improper, her crime does not warrant death. Not to mention having the senior here, even without, once I sensed anything unusual, I would definitely have intervened."

"Negotiate a punishment? Are you qualified? I told you, whether she deserves to die is for me to decide!"

Qiu Tianlin spoke again, his Earth Immortal’s oppressive aura coming forth, immediately causing Qianxiao to furrow her brow.

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu’s brow also furrowed, forcefully confronting the massive pressure as he insisted.

"If the rule of the Heaven Punishment Department is simply that whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules, then I am even less likely to back down half a step!"

Qiu Tianlin laughed and asked, "Do you think you can stop me from killing her?"

"Why not try and see?"
