Chapter 244 Do you really think you are the island owner?
"Execute Su Mo as a warning to others!"
Duan Jingtian's cold words resounded throughout the hall.
Hearing what Duan Jingtian said, all the inner disciples watching outside the hall laughed.
Su Mo finally had to pay the price for what he had done!
"Haha! What I said is right! Su Mo will definitely pay with his life!"
"He deserves to die!"
"After Su Mo is executed, we will ask Senior Brother Duan to get our storage bag back!"
"Hey, Su Mo has snatched a lot of storage bags. Maybe we can share a few more by then!"
The disciples were talking a lot, and some even had eyes gleaming as they came up with the idea of Su Mo's storage bag.
Meng Han, the assessment elder, also sneered. There was no doubt that Su Mo would die. There was no suspense at all.
In the main hall, Su Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at Duan Jingtian.
This trial is really simple. You don’t ask him anything, don’t listen to his excuses, just declare him to death?
"I don't accept it!"
Su Mo suddenly spoke and shouted coldly.
When Su Mo spoke, the surrounding area became quiet. Everyone looked at him with interest.
Many people shook their heads secretly, even if you want to struggle, it is of no use!
Duan Jingtian stared at Su Mo and said indifferently: "Su Mo, your crime is heinous, do you still want to make excuses?"
As soon as Duan Jingtian opened his mouth, he immediately confirmed that Su Mo had committed a heinous crime.
"Duan Jingtian, you came up to convict me and wanted to put me to death, but you didn't listen to my words. As soon as I opened my mouth, you said that I was quibbling. Can you forcibly convict me regardless of whether I am guilty or not?"
Su Mo sneered and asked.
"Presumptuous! Don't you still admit your guilt?"
Duan Jingtian shouted coldly when he heard this. He didn't expect Su Mo to be so sharp-tongued and speak so sharply.
"Confess?"
Su Mo sneered, looked directly at Duan Jingtian, and asked loudly, "How dare you ask me what my crime is?"
Duan Jingtian had no expression on his face and said indifferently: "You killed more than 600 inner disciples. Isn't it a capital crime?"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Duan Jingtian's words, Su Mo burst out laughing. Then, Su Mo looked around at all the elders and said loudly: "I would like to ask three questions to all the elders here. If you think what I did was wrong, then I will plead guilty.
how!"
Duan Jingtian's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm. It was already this time, but Su Mo still wanted to make excuses!
"go ahead!"
Duan Jingtian said that he wanted to see how Su Mo would quibble.
"The first question is, killing is not allowed in Qinghua Cave. Is it wrong for me to kill people in it?"
Su Mo stood proudly in the center of the hall and asked loudly with a sonorous voice.
"Nothing wrong!"
As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, someone answered, and the person who spoke was the second elder who had never expressed his stance before.
The second elder is tall and has a rather majestic face.
"The second question is, people can rob each other in Qinghua Cave. Is it wrong for me to loot everyone's storage bags?"
Su Mo grinned and continued to ask.
"Nothing wrong!"
It was still the second elder who spoke.
Su Mo didn't stop and asked again: "More than 600 inner disciples of the Tianmeng threatened to kill me before the trial, and they even surrounded and killed me in Qinghua Cave. I am going to defend myself."
They fought back, is this wrong?"
Su Mo's voice became louder and louder, and he almost shouted the last sentence.
"That's right!"
The second elder had an inexplicable smile on his face and continued to answer.
Su Mo smiled at the second elder, then turned to Duan Jingtian and asked loudly: "Duan Jingtian, since everything I did is not wrong, then why am I guilty?"
Duan Jingtian frowned slightly. The three questions Su Mo asked were all straight to the point. If we judge based on this, Su Mo is indeed not guilty.
However, Su Mo killed more than 600 of his men, how could he bypass Su Mo.
"Su Mo, although what you did seems to be right, you killed most of the inner disciples and caused huge losses to our Fengling Island. This is a sin! An unforgivable death penalty!"
Duan Jingtian still strongly convicted Su Mo.
"Haha! Everything I did was right, but you still want to convict me!"
Su Mo laughed, then his face turned cold, and he shouted suddenly: "Duan Jingtian, I want to ask you, why do you convict me? You are just a disciple, do you really think you are the island master?"
Su Mo's words turned into rolling sound waves, resounding throughout the countryside and spreading in all directions.
As soon as Su Mo said this, many people's expressions changed. Su Mo actually questioned Duan Jingtian directly! How brave!
But there were also people with smiles on their faces, such as the second elder.
Duan Jingtian's face darkened, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"Su Mo, even if you try to make excuses, you will still die!"
Duan Jingtian felt murderous intent in his heart. After saying this, he turned to look at the Fifth Elder and said: "Fifth Elder, you are in charge of Fengling Island's punishment, so you can arrange the law enforcement!"
Duan Jingtian had no patience anymore. He didn't listen to Su Mo's excuse and wanted to enforce the law immediately.
The fifth elder was a short old man. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "Then I will kill him with my own hands!"
After saying this, the fifth elder was ready to take action.
At this moment, Su Mo's heart sank and the hair on his body stood up.
"Wait a minute, I object!"
At this moment, the second elder spoke again.
Everyone was startled when they heard this, Duan Jingtian was also slightly stunned, then a cold light flashed in his eyes, he looked at the second elder and said: "Second elder, why do you object?
The second elder said: "No matter what consequences Su Mo has caused, his actions are not sinful. Therefore, I oppose Su Mo's execution!"
"I object too!"
"I agree with the second elder!"
"Me too!"
As soon as the second elder finished speaking, three more elders spoke, namely the fourth elder, the eighth elder and the ninth elder.
Duan Jingtian's face turned ugly. These people really came out to disrupt the situation. However, Duan Jingtian was not worried because he had an absolute advantage!
Half of the ten elders in the elders' group are from the island owner's faction. These people naturally support Duan Jingtian.
But the Second Elder and the others belong to another faction, competing with the island owner's faction. They are members of the Taishang Elder's faction.
Duan Jingtian pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Since the second elder, fourth elder, eighth elder and ninth elder do not agree, let's vote! The minority obeys the majority!"
When the second elder heard this, he sighed secretly and voted that they would definitely lose.
Duan Jingtian's side has the support of five elders including the First Elder, the Third Elder, and Duan Jingtian himself, which is six votes.
And there are only four people on their side, only four votes. Even if the last neutral seventh elder is on their side, they will definitely lose.
The second elder was helpless, but he didn't necessarily want to save Su Mo. He just saw that Su Mo was such a genius and had a grudge against Duan Jingtian. If he could save him and win him over, he would be a great addition to the Supreme Elders when he grows up in the future.
Small benefits!
The voting results came out quickly, 7 to 4, and the neutral Seven Elders also sided with Duan Jingtian.
Duan Jingtian chuckled and announced: "The minority obeys the majority, the fifth elders will enforce the law immediately..."
Duan Jingtian was about to ask the fifth elder to enforce the law, when suddenly, a faint voice came from outside the hall.
"Su Mo is not guilty, I will take him away!"
This voice was very soft, but it was extremely domineering, and it contained the meaning that others could not refuse.
When the elders heard this voice, their expressions changed greatly.
Duan Jingtian's face turned completely gloomy at this moment.
