Chapter 334: Chapter 322: Exile to the front line, slaying demons and eliminating evil, atone for sins with achievements! Dreaming back to life and death partings, tears that break one’s heart
Witnessing the arrival of Long Minghai’s Dharma Body Incarnation, the three major forces, the Martial Noble Families, and some representative major media maintained their composure without any noticeable reaction.
They had already realized during the temporary government session that Long Minghai seemed very interested in Chu Feng, and he was well-informed about Chu Feng’s background.
However, the smaller media in the observers’ seats were abuzz with surprise and confusion.
This matter has blown up so large that even the Speaker has made an appearance?
These media were not qualified to attend the temporary government session, which had been designated confidential, with no information allowed to be disclosed.
Therefore, they were completely in the dark about the purpose of Long Minghai’s appearance.
And the young man sitting next to Long Minghai was so excited that he was nearly fainting, his entire face flushed red.
Long Minghai smiled and patted his shoulder to comfort him, then turned his attention to Chu Feng with interest, smiling at him after their eyes met.
...
Smiling so happily, have you never seen such a handsome man before?
Chu Feng thought to himself. He returned Long Minghai’s smile with a nod before turning his head away.
Although he was interested in this individual, esteemed throughout Longhua and known as one of the strongest, it would be impolite to keep staring at him.
And keeping one’s head turned like that was tiring.
"..."
"Bang bang," the judging officer struck the gavel twice, bringing immediate silence to the courtroom.
After reciting an opening statement, he declared loudly, "I announce that this court is now in session!"
...
Those unaware of the inside details observed the plaintiff, the defendant, and their lawyers engaging in a heated exchange in the courtroom.
But those who had attended the temporary session were unsurprised, as they already knew the outcome.
After all, some things were already decided behind closed doors, and the purpose of a public session was merely to inform the common people.
The final judgment followed the decisions made during the temporary session.
"This court finds the defendant, Zhang Chufeng, guilty of intentional homicide. The facts are clear, the evidence is solid and sufficient, and the characterization is accurate.
"In accordance with the relevant wartime laws and regulations, the defendant Chu Feng is hereby sentenced to exile to the front lines, to fight against the demons, redeeming his crime through service!
"He must kill 10,000 units of Master Level Realm demons, or 2,000 units of Wang Liang Realm demons, or 100 units of General Level Realm demons, to have his sentence commuted."
As for the promotion of the Composite Technique, with Long Minghai’s endorsement, the Noble Clans had no choice but to abandon their efforts to oppose it, not persisting on the matter.
Upon hearing this judgment, the observers’ area in the back rustled with whispered conversations.
The verdict caught everyone by surprise, yet it also seemed somewhat expected.
It was surprising because the sentence given to Chu Feng was calculated based on the strength of a Cave Heaven Warrior!
If it were calculated according to the Warrior Endless Realm, the number would likely have to be reduced by a hundredfold.
People were convinced that the Lin Family had worked hard behind the scenes to ensure the maximum penalty was imposed.
It was expected because the ability of Chu Feng to rival a Cave Heaven warrior was, after all, a claim made by the Academy Alliance, so a punishment based on the Cave Heaven Realm could be considered ... reasonable, perhaps?
Everyone guessed what Chu Feng’s expression might be at this moment—surely there must be some shock and anger?
...
In fact, Chu Feng had no reaction upon hearing the sentence.
He didn’t know that the battle achievement requirement was actually tailored for a Cave Heaven Warrior; he was just silently calculating in his mind.
’One Cave Heaven a day, it would take a hundred days to reach the count—that’s more than three months ... such a long time, even longer than my time spent studying at university!
’Lin Hao... even in death, you cause me trouble!’
Disdainful of the lengthy timeline, he began to ponder whether there was a way to gather a group of Demon Generals, and vanquish them in one fell swoop to shorten the time to complete his mission to within a month.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Zonghong, facing Chu Feng, sneered inwardly at his impassive demeanor.
This maximum sentence was indeed the result of Lin Zonghong’s request to Li Shaowei to pull strings.
Actually, taking such actions was just a precaution.
He had long decided to ambush Chu Feng on his way to the frontline.
He wanted to destroy his body, detain his spiritual power, and bring him back to the Lin Residence to torture day and night, for the consolation of Lin Hao’s spirit in heaven.
He had even found a Magic Conductor to store spiritual power and treasured medicine to nourish it, all to ensure that Chu Feng could struggle on for a bit longer!
But if Chu Feng were sly enough to dodge his ambush, then he had to find a way to extend Chu Feng’s time at the frontline as much as possible, giving himself room to pull the necessary strings.
Because the frontline is a military zone, not just anyone can go there.
Along the entire battle line, anyone other than members of the Demon Extermination Army and the Demon Annihilation Army is forbidden from approaching without cause, and violators will be killed on the spot as traitors.
To prevent infiltration from the Demon Clan, even the movement of soldiers from both armies is subject to complex procedures and rigorous checks.
Therefore, if he wanted to send someone or go in person to capture or kill Chu Feng, he had to pull many strings to get a chance to infiltrate.
Or he could simply use the Demons to eliminate Chu Feng for him.
Though unable to avenge personally, which was somewhat unsatisfactory, Lin Zonghong was also willing to accept this outcome.
...
Neither party expressed any objections, so the trial concluded smoothly.
And just as the judge announced the end of the trial, Long Minghai’s Dharma Body Incarnation slowly dissipated on the spot.
The scene from the emergency meeting happened once again; specks of light merged into everyone present, invigorating them all.
Having benefited, the crowd broke into joyous smiles and respectfully said, "We bid farewell to Dragon Speaker!"
Only Chu Feng had a somewhat peculiar expression.
For he distinctly heard Long Minghai’s rough voice in his ear, "Kid, come see me at the government after you receive the Xingyun Award!"
See me for what?
Chu Feng scratched his head, puzzled.
...
As per procedure, Chu Feng would be detained for some time next.
Once the Longhua Xingyun Achievement Award is presented, he would immediately set off, escorted by Demon Extermination Army soldiers to the Demon Battlefield frontline, joining the Vanguard Camp to earn redemption for his crimes.
The Anti-Flying Belt around Chu Feng’s waist had been removed, but he still wore Arms-Sealing Locks on his hands, and under the escort’s binding and squeezing, his figure was slightly unsteady.
The crowd watched as he was securely surrounded by guards, slowly walking out of the courthouse building towards a military armored vehicle in the parking lot.
In the crowd, Wang Xuerui watched his somewhat haggard appearance, and her heart suddenly filled with panic.
She was scared, scared that she might never see Xiao Feng again, who used to hold her hand and affectionately call her "Ms. Xuerui."
"Xiao Feng!"
Throwing caution to the wind, she rushed out of the crowd, ignoring the astonished stares and the subconscious attempt by Wang Erbao to stop her, and shouted loudly at Chu Feng who was about to get into the vehicle.
Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of a sob, echoing in the solemn and dignified courtyard’s airspace.
...
Chu Feng, bending over, froze on the spot.
He had never heard such a plaintive and reluctant scream from Wang Xuerui’s mouth before.
Since childhood, Wang Xuerui has always acted as a gentle and mature big sister in his presence, taking care of him in every way.
Perhaps her mother’s early death exposed her to the harsh realities of life early on, making her sensible and decisive.
Today, because of him, she was once again facing separation.
Memory takes him back to those years, reliving the agony of parting and the sorrow of farewell...
For Wang Xuerui, this was undoubtedly one of the cruelest forms of torture in the world!
He slowly straightened up, turned his head, and looked towards Wang Xuerui, who stood outside the crowd, silently crying.
She looked like a white orchid on the verge of withering, eliciting heartfelt pity.
His eyes suddenly became bloodshot!
He turned around and took a step.
Ignoring everyone, with unequivocal determination, he walked briskly towards her.
