The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 105: Execution

Shortly after Deng Cong’s death, the subsequent scene was very obvious and anti-climatic.

Chu Dong was effectively sentenced to death and executed on the crime of being affiliated with demons to plot against the Fushang Territory.

His head was chopped off and hanged alongside Deng Cong at the entrance gate with their crimes boldly labeled.

The evidence was concrete, without any chance of overturning the decision. The memory orb of Chu Dong calling Deng Cong father, followed by Deng Cong’s demonic transformation was projected on repeat.

"Wasn’t this that brat who shouted injustice and made a commotion?"

"He was actually associated with the demons! Hah, and he had the nerve to accuse others."

"Good riddance. The Fushang Territory really doesn’t mess around and can investigate everything."

Those who recognized Chu Dong’s appearance were the same people watching the commotion earlier.

Nevertheless, none of them had anticipated that the commotion made was actually a plot by the demons to disrupt the alchemy competition.

After all, this was the largest alchemy competition to date, with many prominent alchemists making their way here.

If the demons really succeeded in their schemes, then it would be a catastrophe.

Thankfully, the scheme was unveiled and squashed by the authorities of the Fushang Territory.

The collective alchemists were also relieved and became more confident in the security of the city. If even someone like Deng Cong who had hidden himself deeply was uncovered by the authorities, what else could they not uncover?

For the time being, many people in the city celebrated and cheered loudly.

More importantly, nobody dared to make any mess, afraid of being accused for having any relationship to the demons. Due to Chu Dong’s action from previous, anyone who attempted to cause a commotion was highly suspected of being in cahoot with the demons.

Thanks to the butterfly effect, the city guards also had the easiest time maintaining order.

City Hall

"There have been no small skirmishes or anything in the recent days. All alchemists were well-behaved and lined up as they signed their names. The other major sects were also cooperative." Shan Tung cupped his fist and finished his report in front of Lin Loi.

Lin Loi’s expression was rather complicated when she listened to the report.

’Could this all be planned by the Senior?’ She furrowed her brows.

Based on the report, the worries and concerns that every guard in the city had were wiped out in an instant.

Without even needing the city guards to step up, passerby themselves would intervene and stop any situation that appeared to be on the verge of escalating.

In their mind, if even a reputed elder like Deng Cong could be executed and the Blue Wind Sect Leader praised the judgment, then everyone else could be executed as well.

This was especially true for the major sect disciples who didn’t even dare to flaunt their status around.

Lin Loi found it very comical how people could change and behave so well in an instant.

"Okay, you may continue to patrol the city. Make sure that everyone must be vetted if they want to enter." Lin Loi commanded.

"Yes, city lord." Nodding, Shan Tung soon exited and resumed his duty.

Sometime later, Lin Loi leaned on her back and glanced at the ceiling.

"Just where did the Senior came from?" She muttered. As much as she wanted to investigate the latter, her instinct ultimately warned her otherwise.

After all, Ye Ming was someone whom even her two Masters held in high regards. If her action of investigating were to result in anything sour, then she would be condemn heavily.

However, she didn’t expect Ye Ming to appear from behind her.

"I’ve told you before. I came from the sky." Ye Ming mused.

"AH?" Startled, Lin Loi fell from her chair in a panic. A small "thud" sound echoed around the empty hall.

Her face quickly turned red from embarrassment. As a cultivator in the Spirit Severing Realm, to fall in such a manner was essentially impossible.

However, who told the voice to belong to Ye Ming and that she was actually questioning where he hailed from?

It was as if a person was calling for some mighty figure randomly and that mighty figure appeared behind you.

Who wouldn’t be astonished?

While Lin Loi was embarrassed by the situation, Ye Ming stroked his chin and said, "Even if you wanted to offer me your chair to sit. Was there a need to be that dramatic?"

Having said that, he gladly took her chair and made himself comfortable. There was still a lingering aroma that stemmed from Lin Loi, but he didn’t care about it.

Instead, he was somewhat surprised by the comfortableness that the chair provided. It was still mid when compared to his own chair, but this was definitely something that took him by surprise.

The chair appeared imposing but looked very uncomfortable.

’Indeed, one could never judge a book by its cover.’ Ye Ming nodded and recalled a novel he once read.

Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer... many readers called the main character a despicable scum or hypocrite in the early Chapters, but never delve deep into the storyline.

In Ye Ming’s opinion, those types of readers were the shallowed ones who could never appreciate things. Even if they stumble across a gem, their eyes are too blind to see anything.

And that was precisely the scene that described Lin Loi’s predicament.

She had two Masters, but one of them didn’t even seem to care about her much.

"Little Loi, did you know that one of your Masters has already left the city?" Ye Ming asked.

"Yes..." Lin Loi bit her lips softly and nodded. "I can already sense that Master Shu’s presence is no longer in the city.

Needless to say, she was certain her Master must have gone to pick up the bedridden Tian Suyin to bring her over here.

It was a risk to do so, but granted that Ye Ming was here and time was running out for Tian Suyin, Gong Shu ultimately decided this was the best course of action.

"Then do you want to surpass your junior sister?" Ye Ming suddenly asked.
