Chapter 832 - 397: Damn Fu Lingxi! Clash of Kings!_3
Assassinating Viscount Tuli Yang so publicly was already the lesser of the crimes.
Greater crimes included subverting the tradition of Yin and Yang, attempting to elevate a woman to power. Then there was the use of Sky-shattering Thunder, damaging Sky Harmony, defying the Dragon Power, and so on and so forth!
In short, in this sacrificial scripture, Prince Zhi Li listed thirteen grave sins committed by Suo Lun.
Every single one of these sins was punishable by death, with no chance for forgiveness.
This time, it wasn’t Prince Zhi Li who was to annihilate Suo Lun, but heaven itself. Prince Zhi Li was merely the instrument of divine retribution.
Hence, the profound proposition: Suo Lun must be punished by heaven.
Although Zhi Li was just a prince, during this great sacrificial ceremony, all senior civil officials of the cabinet, all senior generals of the Commander-in-chief’s Office, the kingdom’s nineteen lords, all nobles above the rank of Viscount in the kingdom, they were all present!
Furthermore, Holy Priest Ge Li and Chief Judge Luo Ge also attended as the highest witnesses to the ceremony.
Zhi Li wasn’t the king, yet that day, all the ceremonial benefits were exactly the same as those of the king.
That is to say, in the eyes of the nobility and lords under the heaven and within the Dragon Temple, he, Zhi Li, was now indistinguishable from the king.
At that moment, all the unease in Zhi Li’s heart had completely vanished.
