The door is open, but there is a darkness inside, like an endless abyss, capable of swallowing everything. When people look at it, they can't help but feel an indescribable and inexplicable feeling of horror rising from the deepest part of their hearts.
It seems that there is some kind of great terror and crisis in it.
However, Chen Zong must enter. If he does not enter, the two disciples of the Punishment Hall will take action directly.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong looked solemn and took a step forward into the darkness. His body seemed to be gradually being swallowed up. With that step, he felt as if he had stepped into another world.
majesty!
The endless majesty seemed to come from the heavens, turning into a burst of indescribable extreme pressure, directly impacting his mind and spirit, trying to shake it.
But Chen Zong's mind was so strong and his mind so tenacious that he could not move at all in the face of such an impact.
However, Chen Zong kept walking and moving forward, as if there was an invisible force behind him pushing him, telling him not to stop.
This darkness is so long and seems to have no end.
The pressure continues to increase, constantly impacting Chen Zong's will and mind, trying to shake it.
"Tianguang Peak's swordsman disciple Chen Zong, do you know your sin?"
Very suddenly, a dull sound exploded in Chen Zong's ears like muffled thunder, roaring, with an unparalleled deterrent force, directly impacting Chen Zong's mind and will, in conjunction with that
The growing pressure everywhere almost broke Chen Zong's mind and will, directly disintegrating all resistance.
"Do you know what crime you are guilty of?" Chen Zong asked rhetorically, his tone unhurried and unaffected at all.
The voice did not sound, but Chen Zong's footsteps still did not stop, and he kept moving forward, and the pressure became more and more intense.
It seemed that a long time had passed, and the pressure had reached a new level.
"Suspect Chen Zong, you killed your fellow disciples and you still haven't confessed!"
Suddenly, another voice sounded. This voice was different from the deep one before. Instead, it seemed very sharp, like a sharp sword, merciless and sudden, like an assassin's fatal blow.
It pierced Chen Zong's heart.
That feeling was truly indescribable, and it was about to break through Chen Zong's defenses.
On the way to the Punishment Hall, Chen Zong had made all preparations.
Although he killed the three Tianmen Peak swordsmen disciples because they wanted to kill him, of course he would not sit back and wait for death, but he would never admit it in the Punishment Hall.
Although he didn't know much about the Punishment Hall in Taihao Mountain, Chen Zong was not a rookie. Years of hard work made Chen Zong know that an institution like the Punishment Hall, no matter how fair it was, was definitely not a good place.
Therefore, no matter what, you cannot admit that you have committed murder, but you must treat it as unknowing, and it must be natural and not intentional.
Establish your own psychological defense line so that you will not be interrogated.
Don’t know or don’t know clearly.
As long as nothing can be found out through inquiry, even if there is suspicion, generally no punishment will be imposed on oneself. Of course, if the punishment hall is unfair, then there is no other way.
But thinking about it, for a sect like Taihao Mountain and the status of the Punishment Hall is so high, if it is unfair, it will definitely cause many problems, lead to internal chaos, breed many unnecessary conflicts, and ultimately make the entire sect exist in name only.
, fell apart and even the inheritance was cut off.
Even though there is some darkness in this punishment hall, it should be fair on the whole.
"Disciple is not guilty." Chen Zong responded again, his tone unwavering, without any wavering or guilt.
That voice fell silent again.
Chen Zong was still walking, walking in endless darkness, not knowing where he would eventually go.
Unknowingly, the previous precautions seemed to have disappeared, and even Chen Zong himself didn't notice.
"Chen Zong, why did you kill the three swordsmen disciples of Tianmen Peak?"
This voice was not dull or sharp, it seemed to be very soft, as natural and soft as the spring breeze and drizzle, infiltrating the body and mind without any precautions, making Chen Zong feel an indescribable comfort.
This kind of gentle infiltration like spring breeze and rain made Chen Zong unknowingly break down all his defenses, and all his mental defenses disappeared. It seemed that there was an impulse for Chen Zong to open up his defenses, speak freely, and tell everything he had done.
Tell everything in detail. Only in this way will you feel relaxed.
Just like when you meet a close friend, you can speak freely, communicate with your close friends to the fullest, and tell the secrets hidden deep in your heart without being unhappy.
This move was so sudden, yet so natural, it was hard to guard against and impossible to guard against.
Chen Zong was about to tell the details of how he killed three Tianmen Peak sword masters and confide in the owner of this voice.
In an instant, the black mark trembled in Chen Zong's divine sea, and an indescribable will emerged. In an instant, Chen Zong's will and mind were awakened, and he woke up instantly.
In just a moment, Chen Zong immediately understood that he had been tricked, so he used the trick and pretended to be tricked.
Under the Yixin Jue, Chen Zong's thinking speed was unimaginable. All his thoughts passed by in less than a thousandth of a breath.
"I didn't kill anyone." Chen Zong looked as usual, not confused at all. On the contrary, he had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was having a conversation with a close friend. It felt like that.
It doesn't seem obtrusive at all.
Outside the Punishment Hall, the two Punishment Hall disciples were waiting for the results.
"If this Chen Zong really committed a murder, he would definitely not be able to withstand the three-question punishment." The male disciple smiled, and the female disciple nodded firmly in agreement.
Three questions about punishment!
It sounds like a very simple title, but everyone who knows it has a change of heart.
The Three Punishment Questions are exactly the interrogation of the Punishment Palace. They are caught off guard and contain amazing power. They will impact the heart of the interrogated person in different ways, opening the interrogated person's heart in a forceful, sharp or gentle way.
To prevent others from speaking out the corresponding secrets in their hearts.
There are three questions about punishment, one question is better than the other. If you can withstand the first question, you may not be able to withstand the second question. If you can withstand the first and second questions, you usually cannot withstand the third question.
The Palace of Punishment has existed for as many years as Taihao Mountain has existed. Very few people can resist the three punishments so far.
Therefore, as long as you really make a mistake, you will most likely not be able to escape the punishment.
Not to mention the fourth realm, even the top fifth realm is the same.
How many disciples who made mistakes looked calm and had a clear conscience before going in, but after going in, they burst into tears and regret.
…
Chen Zong was still walking in the darkness, but in the punishment hall, Chen Zong stood motionless. In this huge hall, there were three figures, sitting on the left, middle and right. One of them was an old man and the other was a woman.
One is a middle-aged man.
"I actually passed the punishment three times." The middle-aged man looked gloomy, his tone was sharp, and he looked unbelievable.
"This son has a clear conscience and has indeed made no mistakes." The old man's voice was somewhat dull, and it was he who asked the first of the three punishment questions.
"No, I always feel that this boy seems to be hiding something." The woman's voice was gentle, like the spring breeze and drizzle. It was the voice of the third question of the three punishment questions.
"Anyway, this kid has passed the three questions of punishment, so what should I do with him?" The old man frowned.
Chen Zong's performance was very natural, but it was just because it was so natural that it made them feel weird.
If a top fifth-level king is like this, maybe they will believe it, but it is just a fourth-level one. It is too natural. It is the first time to come to the punishment hall and face three questions about punishment, even if they have not made any mistakes.
It is impossible for a person with a clear conscience to behave as naturally as Chen Zong.
Chen Zongke didn't know that his naturalness seemed normal to ordinary people, but to these old people, it was extraordinary.
For a moment, the three elders of the punishment hall didn't know how to deal with it.
They passed the three penalty questions, but they feel there is a problem. How should they deal with it?
They rarely encounter such a thing, no, for the three of them, it should be the first time.
As everyone knows, Chen Zong set up his own defenses, but still failed to withstand the third question. However, at the last moment, the black mark showed its power and awakened Chen Zong, and Chen Zong used his plan. However, compared with those old Jianghu, Chen Zong
Still not cunning enough.
But these three old people are caught in a tangle.
If there is only one person, you may be able to make a decision based on your own mind, but if there are three, it is not all the same.
Find him not guilty?
It feels unusual and something is hidden.
Find him guilty?
The three questions on punishment were also passed.
"Let's report it to the Deputy Palace Master, and let him make the decision." Finally, the old man said.
The middle-aged man and the woman nodded as soon as their thoughts changed. They were just the elders of the Punishment Hall. When they couldn't make a decision, they could only report it.
Once unanimously agreed, report it immediately.
Suddenly, among the empty chairs above the three elders, a figure also appeared. The figure was a bit blurry and could not be seen clearly, as if it was shrouded in a cloud.
Suddenly, the figure in the clouds and mist had a pair of eyes that lit up, turning black and white, as if seeing all the illusion clearly, staring directly at the figure below the hall, it was Chen Zong.
It only took three breaths for him to look back.
"This boy is quite interesting." The deputy palace master's voice also sounded, with an accent and a hint of laughter.
"Let him report to the Heavenly Sword Army." The deputy palace master said again, and immediately, his body turned into nothingness and disappeared.
"Going to report to the Tianjian Army?" The three elders looked at each other.
Is this a punishment or something?
But since the deputy palace master said so, it was natural to do this.
Soon, the verdict regarding Chen Zong was also handed down.
Report to the Tianjian Army!
The two punishment hall disciples who brought Chen Zong also looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
Reporting to the Tianjian Army, is this punishment?
