Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 525 - 469: Public Punishment (Part 1)

After Zhao Wudi and the others finalized some details of tomorrow’s trial, they each went their separate ways.

After leaving Zhao Wudi’s office, Chu Chen immediately went to find Long Batian.

The other party happened to also want to see him, and the two hit it off.

A moment later, the two appeared in Chu Chen’s personal training room.

Long Batian carefully inspected for a while and then set up a layer of Soul Power protection.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly said, "Teacher."

Upon hearing this, Long Batian snorted coldly and said, "Do you still consider me your teacher?"

Chu Chen replied with a puzzled look, "Of course, you will always be my teacher."

Upon hearing this, Long Batian finally complained, "When you found out it was Yin Junzhe, why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you inform me before taking action?"

Chu Chen sighed and said, "If I had told you, would you have let me seek revenge? If I had informed you before taking action, would you have stood by and watched? This matter is very significant, and I didn’t want to involve you."

Long Batian sighed heavily and said, "Sigh! You’re still too hasty. If you had waited a few more years, even Sun Wenshan couldn’t do anything to you."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "I understand the reasoning, but if I don’t kill them, my thoughts won’t be clear."

"Sigh! What should I say to you? You need to be prepared that this matter might not end well. Sun Wenshan has put in so much effort to set you up; he must have big motives."

"I understand, but you don’t need to worry too much; he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly against me."

"I hope so. Did you come to me for something specific?"

Chu Chen took off the Beast Taming Ring in his hand and said, "My guardian beasts are all here. If I can’t leave tomorrow, please send them to Zhang Yuyan."

Upon hearing this, Long Batian frowned and said, "What are you planning?"

"I just want to have a backup plan. Sun Wenshan won’t let me continue to grow. Once Lei Yao and the others break through to the Emperor Level, they can come back to rescue me. By then, who can stop me," Chu Chen said coldly.

Long Batian nodded approvingly and said, "That’s indeed a good backup plan. Rest assured, I will safely deliver them."

At this moment, in Sun Wenshan’s villa.

"Grand Elder, this matter might be tricky. Elder Yin has been killed by that little brat, and our faction’s strength has greatly diminished. It will be difficult to balance them in the future," Li Mochen said solemnly.

"Yes, we must not let this little brat get away with it," Wu Jiang said coldly.

"It’s not going to be easy; that little brat is very shrewd. Today, he killed live on broadcast, steering public opinion. Now the public is on his side, and it’s not easy for us to punish him."

At this moment, Sun Wenshan, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"Alright, stop worrying. Solving this matter isn’t difficult; it just takes some time."

The three of them looked delighted upon hearing this and quickly turned to Sun Wenshan, obviously waiting for his elaboration.

Sun Wenshan didn’t hide anything and directly said, "Chu Chen’s growth rate is terrifying. Since we can’t punish him now, we need to make sure he can’t cultivate. In a few years, I will break through to the late Emperor Level. At that time, Zhao Wudi and the others will be no match for me; no one will be able to stop me."

The three looked delighted at these words, and Li Mochen confirmed, "Is this true?"

"Hmph! Are you interrogating me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mochen’s expression changed abruptly, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "Forgive me, Grand Elder. I was just too excited, no offense intended."

Sun Wenshan’s face softened upon hearing this. He waved his hand at the three and said, "Go back and think about how to punish that little brat tomorrow. I need to cultivate and strive for an early breakthrough."

The three naturally didn’t dare to disturb any further and quickly said their goodbyes.

After they left, Sun Wenshan coldly cursed, "A bunch of fickle people, none of them reliable. Once I break through to the late Emperor Level, I’ll deal with you all."

In the blink of an eye, it was early the next morning.

Zhao Wudi and Long Batian, along with others, brought Chu Chen to the conference room on the hundredth floor.

When they entered, they found Sun Wenshan already waiting there.

Seeing this, Chu Chen frowned slightly. The other party clearly couldn’t wait to judge him; this matter won’t end well.

Upon seeing Sun Wenshan, Zhao Wudi and the others also became grave in expression.

After everyone was seated, Li Wei, holding the broadcasting equipment, asked in a low voice, "Lord Alliance Leader, can we start the live broadcast?"

Zhao Wudi nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei nodded quickly, adjusted the equipment, and started the broadcast.

Only one minute into the broadcast, over a million people flooded in, and the number kept increasing at an astonishing speed.

Watching the rising number of audience members, all the Elders couldn’t help but frown.

In front of such a large public audience, every word and movement had to be extremely cautious.

As for any decision made, it had to be fair and impartial; otherwise, it would surely cause a huge backlash.

As time passed, the number of people in the live room reached tens of millions.

The viewers remained surprisingly silent when watching the scene in the conference room. After all, sitting there were all Emperor-Level bigwigs. If they dared to speak recklessly and offend any of them, the consequences could be severe.

Not until the audience in the live room reached one billion did Zhao Wudi slowly begin to speak: "Today, in front of the vast public audience, we will discuss the deeds of Chu Chen and the related penalties. We will deliberate together, and the final decision of this meeting will consider the majority of public opinions. Does anyone have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wenshan and the others couldn’t help but frown. If they were to consider the public’s opinions, the situation would clearly be against them, as the actions of the Yin Clan have caused quite a commotion, and there is strong criticism against them online.

But with Zhao Wudi speaking like this on a live broadcast, if they dared to oppose, they would be setting themselves against the public, which would be unfavorable for the upcoming situation.

Sun Wenshan nodded and said in a deep voice, "I have no objections."

Li Mochen and the others naturally all agreed upon hearing this.

Zhao Wudi nodded and said, "Since no one opposes, let’s continue. The trial mission I arranged for him was to investigate the Yin Clan for abusing power, oppressing the good, engaging in nefarious activities, and doing all kinds of evil. Although Chu Chen was extreme in his punishment, the Yin Clan’s crimes were heinous. I believe he acted out of hatred for evil, which is why he struck them down. The evidence has been posted online, and I’m sure everyone has seen it."

At this time, comments flooded the live stream.

"The Yin Clan is the biggest scourge; getting rid of them is what the public wants."

"Yes, the God of Slaughter did well; it’s truly satisfying."

"If I had the God of Slaughter’s strength, I’d do the same."

"Why punish? If this continues, who would dare do good deeds?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Indeed, no punishment is deserved; a reward is more fitting."

...

Watching the comments online, Zhao Wudi’s eyes were filled with satisfaction.

The public opinion was very favorable to them; if this continues, Chu Chen might be able to get through this unscathed.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wudi’s frown eased a bit.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Although Chu Chen’s actions this time were a bit aggressive, considering he’s a first-time offender, let’s count the merits and demerits as offsetting. Does anyone have any objections?"
