Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 495 - 488: Gap Between Emperor and Minister

Emperor Wushang also looked at the Immortal Prime Minister and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble the Immortal Prime Minister."

Just as Ding Huan had predicted, Bu Yue took out the Nine Court Immortal Law, pretending to read from it.

"According to Law Article Two, Emperor Wushang has the right to invalidate a law, please do cherish your subordinates, Your Majesty."

This fellow certainly did not produce the golden sheet of law. Clearly, he planned to deceive him later, thinking he himself could not extract the law from the Nine Court Immortal Law.

Emperor Wushang sighed, "Then invalidate Detailed Law Article One Million Forty-one Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty, which states that earlier laws take precedence, as invalid.

From now on, within the Nine Court Immortal Law, all laws at the same level will have no precedence over others."

Emperor Wushang was reluctant to use this privilege, but he had to.

Ding Huan was someone he had to take with him; if Ding Huan won, taking him away would only lead to more complications.

Both Emperor Ping Wei and Emperor Jin He seemed to value Ding Huan, so he had to take Ding Huan away in a fair and open manner.

Ding Huan could grow Immortal Spirit Rice, vital for his stepping into Quasi-Saint status.

Moreover, Ding Huan could not only change his own Taoist Rhythm at will but also grasp the Dao Rhythm Law on a whim; clearly, he harbored some great secret.

"Your Majesty, may I ask, does this mean that both the first and the last General Laws, being at the same level?" Ding Huan stepped forward to inquire.

Emperor Wushang nodded, "Correct, starting today, whether it is General Law or any other law, within the same level, sequence cannot be used as evidence of priority."

Although he answered in this way, he clearly felt that Ding Huan's tone lacked respect for him, even omitting the humble self-reference typically used by lower ranks.

Ding Huan looked towards Min Yuan, "Flag Leader Min, just now, Emperor Zhong's law was invalidated, continue please. Oh, and next time you see Ying Zhangqi, give him my regards."

Min Yuan shuddered involuntarily,—this was to tell him to accompany Ying Fang. Where was Ying Fang? Locked up in a dungeon.

Min Yuan dared not heed Ding Huan, but only looked toward Emperor Zhong, "Your Majesty, please help the Immortal Agriculture Department root out this scourge."

Emperor Zhong spoke slowly, "According to Law Article One, as the framer of the Nine Court Immortal Law, I have the right to designate unstable evidence as valid evidence.

Thus, I designate Chu Zhangqi Immortal's crystal ball image as a valid crystal ball, and it can be used as valid evidence for conviction."

That was a kind of cheating.

Once this evidence was fixed, it meant Ding Huan was the one secretly sabotaging the Immortal Spirit Rice.

Emperor Ping Wei snorted,

"Emperor Zhong, although we've heard of the law, no one has ever produced it. Whether it's real, who can be sure? Winning by such means is disgraceful."

This was to forcibly deem Ding Huan guilty.

Emperor Zhong spoke slowly, "Law itself holds certain privileges. If the original contributors had no privileges at all, who would make sacrifices in the future?

Moreover, although I used my privilege, the Law Officer can still produce evidence to refute my privilege."

Most people in the Immortal Court Palace didn't find this odd.

For them, it was so.

As officers of the Immortal Court, they had certain privileges too. Without privileges, who would bother?

Without privileges, could they comfortably debate here while the Human Clan Cultivators in the Great Immortal Domain might lose their lives at any moment?

"Law Officer Ding, do you have anything to say? If you have nothing to argue, then allow Emperor Zhong to proceed with the law," Emperor Wushang indifferently said.

As soon as Emperor Zhong started legislating, Ding Huan would certainly be apprehended.

Ding Huan stepped forward and said, "Naturally, I have something to say. The Immortal Spirit Rice from the Immortal Agriculture Department was stripped of its vitality, indeed this happened, but it was not me, it was the Vice Flag Leader Immortal of the Immortal Medical Department, Mi Zhong."

Mi Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and right then, he also jumped up three feet in shock: "Ding Huan, this is the Immortal Court Palace, where evidence is crucial, your slander is a capital offense."

Without a word, Ding Huan directly produced a crystal ball and activated it.

The crystal ball displayed an image from the bottom of a lake, an Array was activated, and a seven-foot-tall Spirit Plant with five leaves appeared before everyone.

"Emperor's Vitality Fruit?" Emperor Wushang looked shocked at the Tao Fruit, and soon a taoist-like man appeared in the surveillance feed, if not Mi Zhong then who?

Watching the already dead Immortal Spirit Rice, Mi Zhong said helplessly,

"The Immortal Agriculture Department really raised a bunch of fools, the Immortal Spirit Rice has died, hurry and replant, or do you expect me to change locations?"

As the surveillance feed dispersed, Ding Huan coldly looked at Mi Zhong.

Without a word, Mi Zhong's face turned ghostly pale.

How was this possible?

He had been so careful, how had Ding Huan managed to record his crystal ball image?

Silence fell upon the Immortal Court Palace, some people thought it was a case of the thief crying "stop the thief."

But many more were thinking of the Emperor's Vitality Fruit, an invaluable treasure, almost impossible to find, Mi Zhong had such gall, using the Immortal Spirit Rice to plant the Immortal Forest Rice.

Emperor Wushang coldly stared at Mi Zhong, Mi Zhong was who he had brought forth to confront Ding Huan and to prosecute him.

He had never expected to be backstabbed by Mi Zhong, who was Bu Yue's son-in-law.

To say Bu Yue knew nothing of Mi Zhong's deeds was something only a fool would believe.

Clearly, the real person who backstabbed him was his most trusted Bu Yue.

Even Bu Yue had stabbed him in the back; who else could be trusted within the Immortal Court Palace?

Bu Yue wished he could mince Mi Zhong and feed him to the dogs for failing such a trivial matter, yet getting caught with such incriminating evidence.

"This is fake, the footage is fake..." Mi Zhong's lips trembled as he could only mutter, pointing to the crystal ball footage of Ding Huan.

No one paid him any attention.

It was easy to discern the authenticity of such crystal ball footage.

Yet, Ding Huan suddenly asked, "Mi Zhong, where is this Tao Fruit located?"

"No, this isn't real," Mi Zhong continued to quibble.

Ding Huan chuckled, "Real or not, we'll find out soon enough. I suspect that the Immortal Spirit Dao Fruit has not yet matured; it's still at the bottom of the lake."

"Bring forth that Immortal Spirit Dao Fruit. Chu Xingren, open the prohibition," Emperor Wushang commanded coldly.

"Yes." Two Powerful Warriors swiftly dashed out of the Immortal Court Palace.

Chu Xingren did not dare to delay and quickly activated the Protecting Array of the Immortal Agriculture Department with the Array Flag.

When the Protecting Array was opened, numerous Divine Wills swept in and indeed discovered that the heart of the lake within the Immortal Agriculture Department was locked down by prohibition.

Under simultaneous bombardment by several Immortal Emperors' Divine Wills, the prohibition quickly dispersed.

The Immortal Spirit Dao Fruit had already formed a purple fruit, but it was yet to mature, still absorbing Immortal Spiritual Energy and vitality.

In a very short time, the two Powerful Warriors brought the Emperor's Vitality Fruit into the Immortal Court Palace.

"Great Emperor, this Tao Fruit cannot be taken yet; it must be used as evidence,"

Seeing that Emperor Wushang intended to take the Emperor's Vitality Fruit, Ding Huan quickly stepped forward to say.

After speaking, Ding Huan didn't wait for Emperor Wushang to respond and took the initiative to say, "Everyone, Mi Zhong sabotaged the vitality of the Immortal Agriculture Department's Immortal Spirit Rice and plotted against me.

According to the General Law Article 16,902, malicious sabotage of resources from thirty-six departments, causing severe adversity, warrants execution."

Emperor Wushang tried to moderate his tone, "This case has been substantiated by Emperor Zhong with valid evidence against Ding Law Officer, and Ding Law Officer also presented valid evidence against Mi Zhong.

They nullify each other; let them both be innocent."

It was then that Emperor Wushang finally understood why Ding Huan had insisted on him announcing the invalidity of Fine Law Article 141,2320 using his special authority.

Had he not nullified that article using his privilege, Emperor Zhong would have won,

Because the Fine Law equates to the first article of the General Law.

When comparing Article 1 and Article 16,902, the law stated earlier takes precedence, and clearly, Emperor Zhong would have won.

Unfortunately, that article had just been abolished.

Emperor Wushang glanced at Ding Huan, who not only had gained a great opportunity but was also profoundly knowledgeable about the Nine Court Immortal Law and was deep in schemes.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about this possibility; firstly, he wasn't well-versed in the Nine Court Immortal Law, and secondly, he didn't know that Ding Huan actually had substantial evidence.

"Great Emperor, I won this one," Ding Huan declared.

After speaking, he took out the Nine Court Immortal Law: "According to Nine Court Immortal Law Article 3,642, when two parties present equal evidence, the one with more physical evidence prevails.

I not only have physical evidence in the form of an Immortal Spirit Dao Fruit but also have a clear image of Mi Zhong and the proof of the Great Dao Rhythm. Whereas Mi Zhong's crystal ball footage lacks any substantial elements."

Emperor Wushang looked towards Emperor Zhong; Mi Zhong could not yet be killed.

Killing Mi Zhong would imply a rift with Bu Yue.

Bu Yue was his most loyal henchman, where would he find such a usable Immortal Prime Minister?

Moreover, it was with his tacit consent that Mi Zhong opposed Ding Huan.

Emperor Zhong remained silent.

It wasn't that he couldn't refute; he decided to trust Ding Huan once, and that would be it.

Emperor Wushang sighed; it wasn't that he felt Emperor Zhong deliberately refrained from arguing, but in such a situation, no one could argue.

Both Emperor Zhong and his privilege had been expended, what more could be done?

"Great Emperor, according to the fourth article of the Legislative Law..." Bu Yue stepped forward, eagerly wanting to speak for Mi Zhong.

Mi Zhong was his son-in-law and mustn't be executed.

"Immortal Prime Minister, you ought to think before you speak, or else, you might not be able to save your own head," Ding Huan's voice timely transmitted.

Bu Yue looked at the golden Legislative Law in Ding Huan's hands and stopped speaking abruptly. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

He had thought Ding Huan wouldn't be able to obtain the Legislative Law, which would allow him to amend it at will. Unexpectedly, not only had Ding Huan obtained it, but now it was also brought forth in front of everyone.

At this moment, all the Divine Wills in the great hall focused on the Legislative Law in Ding Huan's hands, with the articles distinctly perceived by everyone.

Emperor Wushang thought to himself; Ding Huan had indeed retrieved the Legislative Law.

Even Emperor Zhong remained silent, his guess was right; Ding Huan had accessed the Space Law and perhaps, his understanding of the Space Law wasn't inferior to his.

"Bring Mi Zhong out and execute him," Emperor Wushang commanded with a cold voice.
