Chapter 390: Harming the Chan Sect is the revival of the Jie Sect
In front of the four clan leaders, he suggested that mutual reporting could atone for one's crimes, and Wen Rui ordered that all suspects be held separately.
He also instructed the chief of the Tianxing Prison, who was in charge of the interrogation, on what words to use during the interrogation. In short, it was the prisoner's dilemma game.
If both of them deny it, they will be punished together and whipped.
If one of them reports the crime, not only will he not be punished, he will also be given an elixir. If the person reported is found to have problems, his punishment will be increased until he reports others.
The interrogation was not limited to the case of the disappearance of the seven fairies, but was infinitely expanded. Any bad deeds that had been done could be reported and exposed, and would be recorded after verification.
Wen Rui's reason was that the crime of abducting the Seven Fairies was too serious and once proven wrong it would mean the destruction of the clan. He would be killed if he told the truth anyway, so he might as well not tell the truth even if he was beaten to death.
Direct interrogation, the greatest crime, has little chance of extracting a confession from the prisoner under torture, and will only result in torturing the prisoner and achieving nothing.
It would be better to start with minor crimes and first find out the worst-behaved black sheep among the immortal disciples of the four major sects.
Then we should focus on interrogating these black sheep. These people are scum to begin with. We should torture them with the most severe torture, even if it means beating them to death. It is what they deserve.
It effectively avoids the problem of abusive punishment and killing of good people.
The torturers in the Heavenly Prison all believed that Emperor Wen was truly kindhearted, caring so much about the fairies in the lower world and regarding their lives as his own.
This prison had been built for so many years, and countless demons and evil spirits from the lower world had been captured in it. It had also captured some by mistake, and had tortured many unlucky people to death, but they had never cared about their lives.
Using the method of the Wenrui Sect, the four major sects soon began to expose each other, and one dirty thing after another surfaced under the big account check.
He saw a disciple from a certain sect showing off a magic weapon, and he became jealous, so he followed him with a mask on, hit him with a club, and killed him, then robbed him.
He was tempted by a beautiful woman and tried to chat her up, but was mercilessly mocked. In his anger and shame, he killed someone and destroyed the body.
What about taking advantage of the sects' exchanges to steal treasures from other sects and then putting the blame on someone from another sect.
What about colluding with demons and using the demons to kill enemies from other sects.
What about secretly making deals with demons and exchanging information from other sects for treasure-refining materials that can only be produced in the earthly realm.
……
Even Fairy Han Yuan, who had previously made accusations as innocent as a white lotus, was exposed by a disciple of her own sect and was not actually an innocent victim.
She had played a real honey trap, arranging for a beautiful female disciple to seduce the elders of other sects. When the two were about to succeed, she would bring people to break in and force the elder to act as a traitor in the Yunxiao Immortal Sect and pass on the information that other sects had discovered the secret realm.
In this way, when other sects were exploring secret realms, the Yunxiao Immortal Sect would always be able to gain the upper hand and arrive at the discovery site in time to get a share of the spoils.
The female cultivators under the Yunxiao Immortal Sect are not all pure and innocent. Among them there are quite a few dissolute and uninhibited women and female sea kings who use their beauty as a weapon, maneuvering among the male cultivators and having a great time.
Wen Rui had long known that the four great immortal sects were not a monolithic entity, and that the sects in the Xianjiao Alliance would definitely harm each other, but he did not expect that he would be able to get so many surprises out of interrogation.
There were more than 30 immortal disciples from the four major sects who were deceived into the heavenly palace. The crimes exposed by these people were all taken to the beheading platform to be executed. Maybe there were innocent people, so they were beheaded one by one. There must be some who slipped through the net. The case files recording the results of the torture became thicker and thicker. After reading them, Taibai Jinxing thought that Wen Rui was deliberately framing him.
Now, people are beginning to suspect that this group of lawless guys, whose moral standards are not much higher than those of the demons, may have really committed the shocking case of kidnapping the seven fairies.
For example, there are indeed quite a few disciples of the four major immortal sects who, when they saw beautiful fairies or mortals, became lustful and kidnapped and imprisoned them, using evil skills to absorb their yin and replenish their yang.
If they dare to kidnap mortals and female fairies, wouldn't it be normal for them to be braver and kidnap fairies?
Immortal cultivators possess great powers and look down upon all mortal beings. They are not bound by any laws, and the cultivation manuals they read the most during their daily practice do not involve moral education.
Learning good things is like climbing a mountain, while learning bad things is like sliding down the mountain. Moral decline is actually very much in line with human nature.
In addition, the tradition of protecting one's shortcomings in the Chan sect is also a tradition. Even if one of his own disciples has committed too much sin of killing, Master Tongtian will put the blame for the catastrophe on the Jie sect and will not let his own Twelve Golden Immortals bear any responsibility at all.
Following the example of their superiors, the sect founded by the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect became even more outrageous. Even if their disciples did extremely evil things or committed great deeds, as long as they could pass the blame on, it would be considered as not wrong.
We can’t say that all of them are Chinese, but they are not much better either. They just hide it very well and appear to be righteous and upright on the surface.
With this heinous and bloody interrogation file, I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to get out of the Heavenly Prison if they find out in the end that the disappearance of the Seven Fairies has nothing to do with the four major sects.
After all, all the immortals in heaven must follow the laws of nature and only release those who are innocent. Releasing someone knowing that he is guilty is encouraging evil, and all the immortal officials in the Heavenly Punishment Prison will have to bear the consequences of their karma.
Wen Rui did not intend to kill the immortal disciples of the four great immortal sects. His suggestion was that if it was finally found out that the four great immortal sects had nothing to do with the disappearance case, then they should be punished as a warning and released if necessary.
The reason is that when beating a dog, one must also consider the owner. After all, one has to consider the face of their ancestor, the Golden Immortal of the Chan sect. Even if one wants to kill, the ancestor has to clean up the house, and the Heavenly Court should not interfere.
This suggestion seems well-thought-out, but it is also very harmful.
Even when the file was compiled, the faces of the four great immortal sects' ancestors had already been rubbed on the ground. Letting these people go back would be like walking pillars of shame.
If Chi Jingzi, Daode Zhenjun, Yuding Zhenren and Daoxing Tianzun clear out their sects and kill them all at that time, they will be known as unkind teachers.
If we do not clean up our own house, we will be condemned as a person who indulges his disciples in committing evil and creating karma.
In any case, the four great immortal sects will definitely be unable to recover in the Southern Continent in the future, making room for the development of the Jinling Immortal Sect and the Lishan Immortal Sect.
The plan to harm the Xianjiao Sect was initially completed. Wen Rui even opened the system panel to check the progress of the task.
He was not disappointed. The progress bar, which had not moved for a long time, grew a lot.
"Sleeping on straw and tasting gall, the revival of Jiejiao (in progress) task progress: 36.21%/100%."
The last time I checked the progress, it was still 26%, which was a direct increase of 10%. I also received a corresponding task reward for every 10% increase. The flashing red dot on the reward page made Wen Rui in a good mood, and he was looking forward to clicking on it.
The Nether Shadow technique awarded last time has benefited Wen Rui a lot and helped him shine in many battles. I wonder what good things the three reward options will be this time.
