Chapter 44: Money speaks 35
Each word from the ring stung like a dagger, betrayal cutting deeper than any physical wound.
He had so much trust in his immortal master but what was this? How could he do this him by showing so much hope?
Unforgivable!
...
At the same time,
Meanwhile, Young Master Bai could series of Mechanical voices inside his head.
[ Ding! you have shattered Ling Fei's mentality, and you have been rewarded with 3,000 Points and 10,000 EXP ]
[ Ding you have successfully demolished the relationship between Ling Fei and his Immortal Teacher, and you have obtained an additional 2,000 Points ]
[ Ding! For destroying their connection, you have plundered the remaining '50' fortune from Ling Fei, ]
[ Ding! 50 Luck has been converted into 5,000 Points ]
[ Current point: 95k ]
( note: Yeah! The value is high... But, Mc won't be constantly hunting the protagonist )
Hearing these voices inside his head, Bai Lung Couldn't help but smirk lightly for a short amount of time.
These were sweet hymns that were very enchanting to take notice of.
[ Ding! Ling Fei has lost his protagonist halo as his luck has reached zero ]
[ Ding! As a man born with divine roots, his soul is escaping to the heavens, since, hurry up and kill him! He is useless now, ]
[ Ding! You have been rewarded with 200,000 EXP ]

As the tension in the grand hall reached its peak, Bai Lung stepped forward, his voice cutting through the tumult like a thunderclap.
"Ling Fei!" he proclaimed, his tone dripping with disdain. It was time to wrap it all down.
Based on the system's info, Ling Fei will die within 15 minutes, which was pretty good news for Ling Fei, as he was getting a quick death since, Bai Lung doesn't possess much info about heaven or luck.
" You filth stand accused of heinous crimes against the sect and the people of this land. Your actions have brought nothing but chaos and suffering... You couldn't prove the source of your strength, but then again, that alone can't put you guilty as it didn't possess much devil aura,"
Saying that, Bai Lung glanced at the crowd.
A hushed silence fell over the assembly as Bai Lung leveled his gaze upon the accused, his eyes burning with righteous fury.
"Let there be no doubt," he declared, his voice ringing with authority, " Anyone, who has seen Ling Fei, do some devilish act speak up, don't be scared of Ling Fei and his devilish magical method, this young master Bai is with you,"
With that, Bai Lung's eyes went towards Beta Fang, hence, both were villains, Beta Fang naturally understood the assignment.
A thief's words can be expressed by eyes to another thief.
"I have... A few months ago, I saw Ling Fei, playing with some male kids in a nearby village, however, just a few days ago, I got the news that they were molested and killed mercilessly,"
Seeing this, Bai Lung smiled a little, " Very well, I really like your courage, disciple Beta Fang, as a reward for your courage, this young master grants you this soul-strengthening pill,"
Seeing this, other disciples also looked at each other, with greed for such pure soul-strengthening pill.
They don't care about Ling Fei, he is already perceived as the Devil by others so, adding a little more dust on his clothes won't be much of a problem, right?
Thus, the crowd began to roar...
"I have too... I have seen Ling Fei sacrifice a few kids with my own eyes, if it wasn't for the fear of my life and my bloodline, I would have spoken about this matter with everyone,"
"Mee too, I have seen Ling Fei practice some devilish magical act, he is a devil, a scum,"
" Hmph! I have faced his magical devil art myself," even the elder spoke up.
Seeing this, Ling Fei looked at the crowd, unable to understand why was everyone framing him. He did nothing wrong he was saving a girl who was being pushed into darkness, he was supposed to be a hero someone who should be praised, not hated.
' Why? Just why? What I did was for the goodwill of others, why does everyone hate me so much? Framing me with things that I have never committed,' his heart began to bleed.
Not Just Saintess and immortal master... But, even fatty wang and Mei Lin weren't speaking up for him.
Was he alone in this battle? That made no sense, he had help from an immortal, he was living well, he was finally making some progress from his loser life, but did it have to end like this?
He refused to believe it.
...
Meanwhile,
"Ling Fei is not merely a misguided disciple. He is a devil in human guise, a blight upon our sect that must be eradicated without mercy."
The words hung heavy in the air, casting a pall of dread over the gathered crowd.
Ling Fei's earlier protests fell on deaf ears, drowned out by the fervent cries for justice that echoed throughout the grand hall.
" Since, the majority has shown their disdain towards Ling Fei, and thousands of claims of Ling Fei being the devil, have shown up followed by his refusal to mention the source of his strength and disclose his technique.
Thy, The Young Master Bai, sentenced Ling Fei to be executed in the worst way possible for crimes of worshipping the Devil, child molestation, child sacrifice, and countless unspeakable crimes,
People like Ling Fei should never be born again into the land of Mother Nature, such people are the shame of their bloodline, and scum in the name of Daoists, let this be a lesson to others that such acts won't be tolerated and taken lightly, "
"if anyone has a different opinion, speak up!" he added coldly.
"No opinion... The trial was fair and square, Ling Fei being a devil right in front of everyone's eyes,"
"That's right! Seal his soul into eternal darkness, his presence alone disgusts me,"
"Ughh! That guy should be tortured till eternity, I heard his real name is..."
