lure way

There are five men sitting on the main hall of Nuo Da, the head of the Mu family in the middle is the father of Mu Cunfeng, and the four elders of the Mu family are sitting in the lower seat.

At this time, Mu Cunfeng was kneeling on the cold marble floor, and behind him was a group of clan members who were surrounded by the entrance of the main hall with worried faces, waiting anxiously for the clan leader's decision.

Mu Lin, head of the Mu Clan, frowned deeply, stood up with a solemn expression, and clasped his hands behind his back.

He is more than seven feet tall, wearing a black robe, slowly stepping down from the high position, with a hint of unbearable expression on his majestic face, looking at Mu Cunfeng who is kneeling in front of him, he said:

"Mu Cunfeng, do you know what crime it is to break the seal of Fuyao Pagoda? According to the rules of the sect, what should be done?"

"The Fuyao Pagoda is the property of our clan. Tens of thousands of demons and evil spirits are suppressed inside. The clansmen are not allowed to break the seal. Otherwise, they will be sentenced to death according to the door regulations. The criminals who fled in fear of crime are now captured. The door rules should be punished with... the flaming soul-burning whip... nine nine 81 whips..." Mu Cunfeng closed his eyes in pain, and lowered his head to the ground, "After that, the death penalty will be imposed."

Hearing this, Mu Lin's tightly clenched fingers pinched a bloodstain on the palm of his hand, and said in a low voice:

"You, are you guilty?"

"Convicted." Mu Cunfeng lowered his head to the ground.

"What else do you have to say?"

Mu Lin stared at Mu Cunfeng closely. He was actually very anxious, but he had to act calm and steady as the head of a clan.

"No matter what the reason is, the seal of Fuyao Pagoda has been lifted by the criminals and destroyed by the criminals. The consequences have already been caused. One person does something and one person is responsible. The criminals have nothing to say. Patriarch, pronounce the sentence."

After Mu Cunfeng finished speaking calmly, he was only waiting for the patriarch's conviction.He could hear the choking in the patriarch's voice, and he knew that it was not the patriarch's intolerance towards the tribe, but a father's heartache towards his son.

The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and he didn't want to embarrass his father.

After a moment of silence, everyone began to shake their heads and sigh. The Mu clan had very strict rules, and Mu Lin was known to be unselfish. Mu Cunfeng originally had a younger sister who was tragically executed by the clan rules for falling in love with a demon.

However, leaking the heaven and earth cauldron is a more serious crime than falling in love with a demon. The members of the Mu clan around the door suddenly panicked. Although they knew nothing could be changed, they all knelt down to intercede for Mu Cunfeng.

"I beg the patriarch to forgive me, and spare the young master's life!"

"I beg the patriarch to forgive the death penalty of the young master. If the young master hadn't rescued us, we would still be trapped in the ice formation!"

Requests like these reached Mu Lin's ears louder than louder.

Mu Huai, the youngest of the four elders, stood up. He was even a few years younger than Mu Lin, but he was more mature and prudent.

"Can you all listen to me?"

Mu Huai's voice was not high, but it made the whole hall quiet down. He said seriously:

"The matter has come to this point, the Fuyao Pagoda has been destroyed, and killing Mu Cunfeng will not help the matter. In my opinion, it is better to punish him with ninety-nine and eighty-one lashes. What do you think?"

The members of the Mu clan have strong healing powers. Although whipping is painful, they can recover within an hour.

Mu Huai looked at Mu Cunfeng who was kneeling on the ground, feeling pity in his heart.Mu Cunfeng's mother died young, and this child was brought up by senior brother Mu Lin and him. How could he be willing to execute this child, but he couldn't do nothing, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the crowd, and the patriarch's dignity would be damaged. So I thought of this compromise.

Hearing this, members of the Mu clan expressed their approval one after another, and the other three elders also agreed, so Mu Huai saluted Mu Lin:

"I implore the patriarch to let Mu Cunfeng live."

Mu Lin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded to Mu Huai.This Mu Huai could always read his mind, knowing that he also didn't want his son to suffer death, so he gave him a step down, and also gave Mu Cunfeng a way out.

"Since everyone is pleading for Gouzi, then, follow what the Fourth Elder said! Execute after an hour."

After everyone dispersed, only Mu Lin, Mu Huai and Mu Cunfeng who was still kneeling were left in the main hall.

"Cunfeng, I want to ask you for my father, what have you done these days? How did you obtain the Xuanbing Token from the Demon King?"

When Mu Cunfeng came back this time, he always gave Mu Lin a feeling of melancholy. The optimistic and optimistic atmosphere before was completely gone, and there was even a trace of melancholy hidden between the always flying long eyebrows.

"Cunfeng, how have you spent these days?"

As everyone knows, Mu Lin's concern also hurt Mu Cunfeng's memory, the unbearable past is vivid in his mind, he actually... actually spent it on the wolf king's bed as a male favorite.

"baby……"

Mu Cunfeng, who had never lied to his father, was an exception this time. He lowered his head, clenched his fingers uneasily, trying to keep his voice steady.

"The boy has been looking for opportunities to sneak into the demon king's palace, and got a job as a servant to get close to the demon king. Then, after finding an opportunity, he stole the Xuanbing Token and rescued the clansmen."

Mu Lin remained silent for a long time, looking at Mu Cunfeng with his eyes. The too quiet atmosphere made Mu Cunfeng feel guilty and sweated coldly on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.This feeling is as if the embarrassing secret buried deep in my heart has been discovered, uneasy, and it will be a torment like sitting on pins and needles for a moment.

"Cunfeng, as a father, you only listen to the truth."

Mu Cunfeng's heart tightened, and his head lowered a little, "Everything my child said...is true."

Mu Lin's face darkened, how could he not know what kind of temper his son had?When a burst of anger was about to erupt, Mu Huai took a step forward and grabbed Mu Lin's arm, "You see Cunfeng came back with great difficulty and didn't even take a breath, you should let him get up first!"

"Get up whenever he tells the truth! Otherwise, just kneel until he is willing to speak! As the heir of my Mu clan, I have committed a serious crime... I have used favoritism and fraud to cover him. He is good, never Liars have also learned to lie to others?"

"Brother, maybe Cunfeng really has some unspeakable difficulties? Let's stop forcing him. Now, it's lucky that he can come back safe and sound, right?"

Mu Lin frowned, staring at Mu Cunfeng's trembling figure, that thin body was much thinner than before, what kind of encounter can change a person's temperament?

He sighed, but couldn't help himself. He bent down and stretched out his hand to Mu Cunfeng as a gesture of support, "Cunfeng, get up! If you don't want to say it, you won't ask it as a father."

Mu Cunfeng looked up at his father's hand. He flinched in shame. He propped himself up and stood up. His legs were numb and his knees were in sharp pain. He didn't stand up straight.

"Father, please rest assured that the child will definitely abide by the house rules in the future and will never commit any crimes again."

After Mu Cunfeng finished speaking, he retreated dragging the heavy chain.

Looking at Mu Cunfeng who disappeared from sight, Mu Lin never relaxed his brows. Mu Huai patted him on the shoulder and silently accompanied him, expressing that his brother was still there.

Returning to the dungeon again, Mu Cunfeng sat slumped against the wall, the nine-nine-nine-eight-one-whip punishment, but he gritted his teeth and passed, but Hengzhi... what happened?

As a doctor, he knows better than anyone the consequences of forcibly cracking the Heavenly Tribulation Formation. Even if he saves his life, he will be permanently unconscious and look like a living dead.

Hengzhi, if I had known today, I would definitely not have chosen to take revenge. As everyone knows, when I fought with that demon fox, you were the one who got hurt in the end.Mu Cunfeng fell into painful self-blame.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!" Gong Loujue violently slammed the vase in his hand to the ground. He was still seriously injured and sat beside Ling Mochen's bed with his eyes closed, panting.

For many days, Ling Mochen showed no sign of waking up, and he fell into panic again. All the famous doctors in the demon world knelt down to fill the room, including Die Yi.
