Chapter 969 Come on, chop it up quickly!
The main punishment hall of the seventh heaven.
Xuan Chi was chained to the Panlong Pillar, waiting for the punishment with an indifferent look on his face.
Li Yuan, the Emperor of Heaven, Laojun and others watched from the audience and supervised the punishment personally, which also prevented the immortals and gods from doing anything ridiculous behind their backs.
Li Yuan personally walked into the execution ground and patted Xuan Chi on the shoulder.
"Don't be afraid. This thunder may seem like a punishment, but as long as you keep practicing your mental skills, it will be beneficial to your future physical training. Just be patient and it will pass. Believe me."
In the past, he was struck by lightning here as well, and all the gods and immortals in heaven were watching, attracting everyone's attention.
Xuan Chi was speechless. He looked at Li Yuan's face, then glanced at Tiandi and others not far from the stage.
He was straightforward, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask:
"Why do the laws of heaven always restrict us and not punish the wicked?"
"I have a bad temper and acted on my own initiative. It was wrong to injure so many immortals. I admit this and I deserve to be punished. But those guys are not clean at all behind the scenes. Why is no one punishing them?"
Xuan Chi did not hide his voice, and the Emperor of Heaven and Laojun in the audience also heard it, but they did not react. They just looked at Li Yuan with interest, wanting to hear Li Yuan's explanation.
On the criminal justice platform, Li Yuan stood beside the Panlong Pillar and thought for a moment before slowly saying:
"Hmm...Xuan Chi, let me ask you a question..."
"Do you think it would be better if the Heavenly Court punished you promptly after you made the mistake and the matter ended there..."
"Or is it better to ignore you when you make mistakes and continue to accumulate killing points until all your merits are offset, and then you are doomed to die?"
Xuan let out a groan and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Li Yuan looked back at the Emperor in white clothes and a golden crown. The Emperor smiled back, then turned around and looked at Xuan Chi and said with a smile:
"Silly child, we have always been taken care of by the heavens. We may have felt a little aggrieved and suffered a little at the time, but every time we made a mistake, we were reminded in time, and we never deviated from our original intentions."
"On the other hand, when those who insist on doing evil are devoured by their desires, the way of heaven has already given up on them, watching them walk towards destruction step by step indifferently..."
"Those who are beyond redemption will eventually bury their eternal immortal lifespans for various reasons and in various ways; and those who are not easy to judge by the laws of nature, we will let them survive the catastrophe and let our eyes and hearts judge for them."
He still explained the principles of heaven and earth to Xuan Chi patiently and carefully, just as he did when he preached in the mountains.
Xuan Chi is no longer the ignorant and arrogant boy he used to be. After experiencing so many things, he naturally understands the difference.
For those who are kind-hearted and stick to their bottom line, heaven always gives them timely reminders, so that even if they suffer a little, they will not lose their lives.
As for those who are gradually lost, they are blinded and cannot see the warning. They try to cross the bottom line again and again in tolerance, but what they finally get is only the bottomless abyss constructed by desire.
"We...will not be easily swayed by desire. I believe in the creatures that walked out of Anshan."
Xuan Chi was silent for a long time, shook the chains on his body, and seemed helpless.
Li Yuan also sighed helplessly: "You say you are steadfast, he calls him kind, but after all, he is just representing himself."
"We believe you, but after thousands and tens of thousands of years, what about our descendants? What about our descendants' descendants? Can you guarantee that they will not change?"
"If you make a mistake, you should be punished. This is an iron rule. This is a warning to the other kind-hearted gods and immortals in the heavens, and it is also a warning to yourself. Never attack your fellow gods and immortals in the heavens at will in the future."
Xuan Chi nodded and fell silent again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He understood the meaning of what Li Yuan said, and also thought of other levels.
Now that so many of Anshan's relatives, friends and disciples are gods in heaven, if he makes a mistake and is not punished, it will easily lead other relatives and friends to think that Li Yuan is secretly protecting him.
If this continues, arrogance will grow, and sooner or later there will be people who defy the laws of nature. If something big happens then, it will be really difficult.
Ever since the start of the new era of conferred gods, Li Yuan has been trying to avoid the story of 'the young dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon'. After all, so many of Anshan's relatives, friends and disciples have directly ascended to heaven and become immortals or gods. From then on, they have been glorified and respected by the world. It is inevitable that there will be some impetuous and wavering people.
He regards protecting all living beings and spirits as his own way, which is also the foundation of Anshan's rise. He really doesn't want to take action against his relatives and friends one day.
Seeing Xuan Chi pondering, Li Yuan secretly turned his head to look at the Emperor of Heaven, and whispered in Xuan Chi's ear seemingly unintentionally:
"If you're really unhappy, then keep an eye on them and beat them up when they make mistakes in the lower world~"
"Although you have a bad temper, your heart is still very good. We trust you and you will not intentionally hurt innocent people..."
"People... no, immortals, you have to learn to adapt~~"
Xuan Chi's eyes gradually brightened, and he rubbed his chained hands together secretly: "Good! You're right!"
Yes, there is nothing wrong with what Lord Yuanzun said!
Why should he openly beat and scold those guys, causing a big fuss and making both the Emperor of Heaven and Yuan Zun look bad when he had no evidence?
Who knows, it might even cause other relatives and friends who left Anshan to be criticized behind their backs.
Anyway, he holds the position of a god and is a military general, so he has the power to monitor the seas of the human world and can discipline any evildoers he encounters.
Those guys are blinded by greed and only think about hindering the rise of human power. They will definitely make mistakes. Just keep a close eye on them and fight back when there is solid evidence.
As long as you know when to stop, don't abuse your power or engage in lynching, you will be upright and have nothing to fear.
Who would dare to touch him then? ! Even if the Emperor of Heaven came... cough cough, Lao Zhang could still beat him up at will. This man's seniority and strength were too high, whether in the Heavenly Court or Anshan. Even Yuan Zun didn't dare to be too rude and presumptuous, so how could Xuan Chi dare to contradict him casually?
As for the troubles with words... I'll go back and find Caiyu Chicken... ahem, Caiyu Phoenix, and ask for some advice. Let's see if he can't scare these bugs among the immortals away with just a few words!
As for being punished, just as Li Yuan said, if you make any mistake you will be punished on the spot. You won't lose much favor from the Heavenly Dao, nor will you accumulate any kill points. Isn't that considerate enough?
With my interpersonal relationships and my own strength, as long as I maintain my original intention, it is equivalent to having an immortal golden body bestowed by Heaven. Why should I be afraid that I won't have time to slowly deal with those evil immortals and gods in the future?
As soon as Xuan Chi thought of this, all his thoughts came into focus. Thinking of how majestic he would be, intimidating the evil god, he couldn't help but hum.
"Come on, strike me with lightning, and do it quickly!"
Xuan Chi couldn't suppress the smile on his face. It was obvious that he had already thought of the first target to focus on, and he couldn't wait to go back and start the "insect eradication plan".
Seeing his excitement, Li Yuan knew that the kid had figured it out, so he patted him on the shoulder and walked down the execution ground.
With Xuan Chi's current powerful strength, the thirty thunder whips and the double punishment of water and fire are just a little physical pain. Maybe he can even use it for physical cultivation. There is really nothing to worry about.
