Chapter 1416 - 1415: Human Lives, No Distinction between Noble and Humble
"I believe Elder Li has misunderstood," said the Dean softly. "To my knowledge, when Su Yang first arrived in Capital City, he was alone. And with so many clans and so many experts in Capital City, to deal with just him, can it really be said that he was bullying the weak? Furthermore, with over three thousand of you attacking their few hundred today, your strength far surpasses his, so where does the bullying come into it? If we really talk about bullying the weak, you are the true bullies. Elder Li, you seemed to have gotten it the wrong way around. It is clearly okay for you to kill him, but not okay for him to kill you – how does that make sense?"
"You..." Ancestor Li San was at a loss for words; the Dean’s statement left him without a retort.
Indeed, no matter from which perspective, Su Yang’s side was truly at a disadvantage.
But the key issue is, with so many clans and people here in Capital City, to be defeated by a weaker party, who wouldn’t find that hard to accept?
"Whoever kills, expects to be killed in turn," the Dean said softly. "Since you harbored the thought of killing him, then you must be prepared to be killed by him. Every step Su Yang has taken in Capital City could be described as fraught with danger. He has gambled with his life every time. Fortunately, he has made the right moves every step of the way, which is why he has killed some of your Capital City people. Yet, despite the superiority in strength, numbers, and geographical advantage of the Capital City people, he has managed to kill them. How could that be his fault? Elder Li, with all the years you’ve lived, can you explain that to me?"
Ancestor Li San’s face turned red with anger, and he ground his teeth, saying: "Even so, he shouldn’t be killing innocents recklessly..."
"Speaking of killing innocents, which one of us here has killed less than him?" the Dean’s voice turned colder. "Not to mention anything else, Ancestor Li San, let’s talk about you. In order to become the Family Head of the Li Family, you secretly got rid of two other heirs, pushing one off a cliff and poisoning the other to death. After becoming the Family Head, you also exterminated the entire line of their descendants, not sparing a single one. Regarding the indiscriminate killing of the innocent, have you done any less?"
Ancestor Li San’s complexion suddenly turned pale; indeed, those were his doings. But he truly couldn’t understand how the Dean knew about them?
"Indiscriminate killing of the innocent?" The Dean turned to the crowd below, his voice cold: "Your son, Li Tianhua, valued lust above everything else. The number of girls he’s deceived, harmed, and killed over the years is no less than a hundred, eighty at the very least – doesn’t that count as indiscriminate killing of the innocent? Moreover, the most critical point is, after those girls died because of him, they had nowhere to even protest their deaths. Shouldn’t your son deserve to die then?"
