Chapter 2692: Chapter 2693: Hall Master of Punishment
Upon thinking this, the Third Prince stepped forward a few steps."Reporting to the Hall Master of Punishment, the fallen Martial King Realm expert was one of my subordinates!"
The Hall Master of Punishment glanced at him. Even though he was the Crown Prince, the Hall Master’s eyes remained indifferent.
Originally, a Hall Master’s position wasn’t exceedingly esteemed, and it couldn’t really be considered part of the Demon God’s Hall’s true upper echelon. However, this Hall Master of Punishment was definitely an exception, especially since he was also a Vice Hall Master, naturally making his status much higher than that of the Crown Prince.
Moreover, if the Crown Prince were guilty, the Hall Master of Punishment would have the authority to strip the Crown Prince of his life.
Subsequently, the Third Prince narrated the entire incident without omission. He believed the Hall Master of Punishment had already discerned the cause and effect beforehand. Yet, since he managed the punishments, it required public fairness, letting everyone understand where the guilt lay; that was why he had the Third Prince recount the matter.
Thus, the Third Prince naturally dared not embellish the story.
"Oh? So saying, the culprit is this Ye Luo?"
Upon hearing the Third Prince’s tale, he turned his gaze onto Ye Luo.
Instantly, Ye Luo felt the space around him tense, an inexplicable pressure acting upon him. Of course, this pressure was merely a warning; after all, even when dealing with ordinary disciples, the Hall Master of Punishment wouldn’t act before a verdict was declared, and additionally, there was concern Ye Luo might suddenly flee or some unforeseen event might occur.
"Can his words be true?" the Hall Master of Punishment asked sharply.
Ye Luo nodded slightly, "Indeed!"
"How dare you!" the Hall Master of Punishment suddenly roared, "Why would you kill such a strong figure? If you don’t have a reasonable explanation, you cannot be spared!"
Ye Luo’s expression showed not a hint of tension.
"Reporting to the Hall Master, the Third Prince only spoke of the second half of the events, leaving out the first half!"
Then, Ye Luo recounted how he was attacked by those individuals.
"Oh? Great Crown Prince, is this the truth?" the Hall Master of Punishment suddenly turned to the Great Crown Prince.
In Ye Luo’s account, he mentioned the Great Crown Prince’s involvement.
If the Great Crown Prince vouched for Ye Luo, then this incident would be reframed as a dispute between the subordinates of two princes, thus greatly reducing Ye Luo’s liability.
If not, even if the Third Prince provoked first, Ye Luo’s killing of a Martial King Realm expert wouldn’t lessen his responsibility.
