66: Changing the Penal Court System with My Own Power

Su Kuangdao did not express an opinion, merely turning his gaze toward Su Shengyuan.

Su Shengyuan sat behind the desk, shrouded in a hazy radiance, his face filled with a gentle smile.

"What crime has the Tenth Line committed? Seventh Lord, you need not blame yourself. This Saint has already explained everything to Uncle Kuangdao, and I will not hold the Tenth Line responsible for anything."

"Furthermore, regarding this assassination attempt by Su Ze, this Saint also has faults. I had not previously considered Su Ze's feelings. Alas, all sins and transgressions shall be borne by me."

As Su Shengyuan's easygoing and magnanimous voice echoed throughout the Ancient Hall and traveled outward, it fell into the ears of the Disciples from various lines gathered at the hall entrance.

Su Hengxing froze instantly, his body trembling slightly due to overwhelming excitement.

He had not expected that it would be Su Shengyuan who ultimately exonerated the Tenth Line.

It was not just Su Hengxing.

All the clan elders of the Punishment Hall, as well as everyone gathered outside, were stunned, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

He was the one who had been assassinated, yet he took all the blame upon himself.

Su Shengyuan's magnanimity could only be described as vast.

This is the Saint the Su Family deserves!

He is worthy of everyone's support!

"The Saint is incredibly magnanimous; we admire him deeply."

"Indeed, if it were me, I would definitely have skinned Su Ze and pulled out his tendons."

"That is why you are not the Saint. It is laughable that we previously wanted to contend with the Saint for the position. Compared to him, we are nothing but a pile of shit."

"I am a fan, I am a fan! From this day forward, I, Su Guo, am the Saint's number one follower. If anyone dares to offend the Saint again or speak ill of him behind his back, I will be the first to not spare them."

"I, Su Yu, am willing to serve the Saint. The Saint's magnanimity is worthy of study by us all. The Saint has already set an insurmountable example for our younger generation."

"..."

With just a few words, he moved the entire Tenth Line to tears of gratitude and won the following of the Su Family's younger generation.

If this reached the Su Family Ancestral Land, those ancient ancestors would surely be even more firm in their recognition of Su Shengyuan.

Killing multiple birds with one stone, and all it cost were a few words—Su Shengyuan's scheme had truly won big.

"Shengyuan, are you truly not going to punish my Tenth Line?" Su Hengxing asked tremblingly after recovering his senses, wanting to confirm it once more.

Su Shengyuan smiled slightly, "Seventh Lord heard correctly. The assassination attempt by Su Ze was his own doing and has nothing to do with the Tenth Line. How could this Saint be the type of person who fails to distinguish right from wrong?"

"Thank you. In the future, if you, Shengyuan, have any needs, the Tenth Line will definitely go all out to help."

Su Hengxing was moved to tears of gratitude toward Su Shengyuan and bowed deeply.

Su Shengyuan hurriedly stood up and helped Su Hengxing up.

"Seventh Lord, you are tormenting this Saint. As a Junior, how could I let you bow? These things are what a Junior ought to do."

Upon hearing this, Su Hengxing felt a soreness in his nose, moved to tears.

"Good, good, good! With Shengyuan in the Su Family, we will surely tower over the world."

Su Kuangdao and the clan elders of the Punishment Hall saw this scene, their eyes filled with admiration.

This was the Su Family Saint they wanted.

Although they had previously held some prejudices against Su Shengyuan, everything had dissipated following his actions over these past few days.

His Aptitude rivaled that of the Young Emperor, and he was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He was magnanimous and possessed the natural aura of a leader.

For such a peerless Prodigy to be born into the Su Family was truly the Su Family's good fortune.

Just then!

A discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Heh, Su Shengyuan, your acting is truly excellent. You have truly made me admire you to the point of prostration. First, you plotted against me, and now you put on such a magnanimous posture; it simply disgusts me."

"Haha, you bunch of idiots, you have all been deceived by him. Su Shengyuan is nothing but an out-and-out villain. And you dare to claim you have eyes of fire and golden pupils, that nothing can escape your sight? A bunch of big... morons."

"Su Shengyuan is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Sooner or later, you will all be plotted to death by him, haha."

Su Ze's expression was manic, speaking wildly as he pointed at Su Shengyuan and cursed.

These words immediately incited public anger.

"Su Ze, what qualifications do you have to accuse the Saint? Now that the assassination attempt has failed, you think to slander the Saint. A person like you is not fit to live in this world."

"This Disciple requests that the Punishment Hall immediately punish Su Ze. He is simply insane."

"Exactly! Su Ze, you say the Saint plotted against you? You are not worthy! What qualifications do you have for the Saint to plot against you?"

"I am so enraged! I cannot hold back. Even if it means being punished by the Punishment Hall today, I am going to beat you up."

"Rebellion, rebellion! He actually dared to call us idiots? Don't stop me, I want to challenge him to a duel."

"Uncle Kuangdao, we cannot take it anymore. This wicked obstacle even insulted you all. We would rather bear the responsibility of disturbing the Punishment Hall than not give him a sound thrashing."

"..."

Ula!

As the noisy roars fell, the Disciples from various lines gathered at the hall entrance all rushed in, directly surrounding Su Ze.

"Beat him!"

Someone roared, and these people clenched their fists and hammered toward Su Ze.

For a moment, the Punishment Hall was extremely lively!

Some Disciples standing on the outer perimeter could not reach him, so they squeezed directly into the crowd, using all their might.

The Su Family elders standing outside the hall entrance all had ashen faces, their Qi and blood churning behind them, as they tried their best to control their anger.

If not for the constraints of their status, they would have long since rushed in to execute Su Ze.

"What a piece of trash. After the assassination of Shengyuan failed, he has not a shred of remorse and still dares to be so arrogant, even insulting us elders. He has absolutely no respect for his superiors."

"This is Shengyuan's magnanimity, taking all the blame upon himself. His good intentions were ultimately fed to a dog."

"Even if fed to a dog, the dog would at least know how to wag its tail. This little beast, Su Ze, is not even as good as a dog."

Inside the Ancient Hall, the clan elders of the Punishment Hall also had somewhat cold gazes, their auras fluctuating slightly.

Su Ze's remark, 'You bunch of idiots,' had clearly angered them as well.

Therefore, they did not stop the Disciples from various lines from rushing in to beat Su Ze.

Even Su Hengxing, who was completely disappointed in Su Ze, was extremely cold.

If not for his status, he would have long since rushed up to suppress and kill his own grandson.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Kuangdao's majestic voice finally rang out, stopping the chaotic scene.

"That is enough! Everyone get out. Such rowdiness, what kind of decorum is this?"

Those Disciples who had been beating Su Ze stopped immediately upon hearing this, bowed to the clan elders, and then respectfully withdrew.

Blood dripped from everyone's fists, showcasing their battle achievements.

Those Disciples without blood on their hands even showed shame on their faces!

As for Su Ze, it could only be described as horrific. His entire body was covered in blood, and he had completely become a bloody mess.

Su Kuangdao snorted coldly, glanced at Su Ze, who looked like a dead dog, and then began to state his punishment.

"Tenth Line Disciple Su Ze, attempted to assassinate the Su Family Holy Son. This is an act that incites the wrath of both man and god, and is intolerable by the laws of heaven."

"Given that such a heinous act has never occurred in the history of the Su Family, the Punishment Hall does not have a corresponding punishment system."

"From today onward, a punishment rule regarding the assassination of the Holy Son will be added to the punishment system."

"..."

Good heavens, Su Ze, single-handedly, had actually changed the punishment rules and system of the Punishment Hall that had not changed for millions of years.

To have achieved such a glorious feat, he was truly worthy of being the Son of Destiny.
