C15 What Crime Did He Commit

"May I ask, my lord, what crime have I committed?"

Ye Mingyang replied loudly. Perhaps, with so many people present, no one would care about his answer, but...

He still had to say it loudly and honestly because his father was watching all of this from the stands.

He had disappointed Ye Shan countless times, but this time, he couldn't!

"Bastard, you failed to steal the Star Soul Attraction of my Lau family, and now you're telling the truth! Now that the witnesses and evidence are here, you still dare to lie on the interrogation stage!"

Before Gu Tang could say anything, Lau Yufeng had already shouted out in anger. He couldn't wait any longer. Right now, Lau Yufeng only wanted to kill this Ye kid in front of him!

"That's right! As the dignified young master of the Ye family, the son of Martial Marquis, he actually did such a despicable thing! He is shameless for us!"

"City Lord, you must return justice to Lau family!"

"Punish Ye Mingyang severely, punish the real culprit severely!"

In the crowd, scattered voices began to ring out. The first, followed by the second.

After that, countless voices sounded out. Their goal was clear, and their meaning was the same.

Ye Shaoyang had committed a heinous crime!

Ten thousand men pointed at him!

Gu Tang looked at Ye Mingyang coldly. Next, as long as Ye Mingyang argued, what awaited him would be witnesses and physical evidence. There would even be people from the Ye family who would come forward to testify. All of this had been arranged beforehand. Therefore, the Ye family should fall to the ground as expected.

The outcome of the battle between him and the Ye family had already been decided.

Everyone had the same thought. Even Ye Shan had the same thought. He already knew what would happen next, but with the strength of the Ye family, it was impossible to change this outcome.

Ye Shan looked at his son, who was still standing straight in the middle of the stage. Even though he was being suppressed by a Star Fusion Stage warrior, and was scolded by tens of thousands of people, he had never bent his back even once. A sense of pride suddenly emerged in his heart.

He had already done a good job, Ye Shan thought.

So, it was time for him to take the stage next.

However, Ye Mingyang's action surprised everyone. He did not panic, refute, or argue. He just used his calm gaze to sweep the surroundings, then turned around and slowly walked towards the interrogation stage.

This strange action made the crowd gradually calm down. They were somewhat curious, what did Ye Mingyang want to do?

Ye Shan also stopped. He wanted to see what his son, who was a little different from before, wanted to do.

Ye Mingyang unhurriedly walked to the edge of the interrogation platform, then jumped down. He came in front of an extremely fierce man who was shouting. This was a martial artist with a cultivation base of four sects.

"Let me ask you, have I ever offended you?"

The man's eyes were somewhat flustered. After looking to the west, he swallowed his saliva and said.

"You... you don't need to do this. As the son of Martial Marquis, you can't cultivate. You actually stole... You... you are shameless for everyone in the world!"

"No, you didn't answer my question, I am asking you."

Ye Mingyang looked into the big man's eyes and asked word by word.

"Do you know what the Lau family's Star Soul Attraction is for?"

"Of course... of course I know. It's used to guide the stars into the body and open the eight doors."

"The second question, have I ever offended you?"

The burly man looked left and right again. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he could only bite the bullet and say.

"No... No."

"Then did I steal your chicken, or did I sleep with your wife?"

Hearing such an interesting question, the surrounding people laughed. Although there were many people arranged in the crowd, most of them were just spectators. On the grandstand, Bai Zhi spat lightly.

"Brawler!"

But she still blinked her big eyes and looked at that interesting fellow below.

The big guy's face became extremely ugly, but he could only answer.

"None!"

"Then whether I stole the Lau family's Star Soul Attraction or not has nothing to do with you!"

The burly man's face flushed red, and he felt as if he had lost all face. He could only shout loudly according to the words of the other professors.

"You, Ye Mingyang, as the son of Martial Marquis, have stolen the Lau family! Ah!"

Before he could finish his words, Ye Mingyang clenched his fist and struck out. A hook punch landed heavily on the burly man's stomach. The burly man with four gates screamed in pain. He flew up from the crowd, spat out blood, and fell heavily outside the crowd.

The sudden scene stunned everyone. Before the crowd could recover from their shock, Ye Shaoyang soared to the sky. Like a cannonball, he landed heavily on the interrogation platform. The cultivation of a Rank-5 martial artist exploded with a loud bang!

He used all the strength in his body to shout at everyone in the stands and below the stands.

"I, Ye Mingyang, as a martial artist of the five sects, have long stepped into martial arts. Why did I steal the Lau family's Star Soul Attraction!"

His voice was so loud that it actually resonated in the stands, reverberating in the crowd for a long time.

"I, Ye Mingyang, as a martial artist of the five great sects..."

From the beginning to the end, those great figures who had never paid attention to Ye Mingyang widened their eyes at this moment. This was the first time they seriously looked at this young man who was waving his arms and shouting in the stands.

Martial artists of the five sects?

Can't cultivate?

What in the world... happened?

Gu Tang was also stunned for a moment. This change was an answer that he had never thought of, or rather, he had never thought of. Rank-5 martial artist? Wasn't this kid unable to cultivate?

Even Ye Mingyang did not kneel down under his pressure earlier. He thought that it was because Ye Shan gave Ye Mingyang a few protective items.

Actually, if these important figures were a little more serious, they would ask the guards who were beaten up badly. Or perhaps these guards were a little more daring and weren't afraid of the Ye family's revenge, or perhaps Yue Donglai casually said it while they were chatting.

Even worse, these important figures had to spend a little bit of their divine sense to carefully investigate this "cripple."

Then, they would be able to rearrange the entire plan flawlessly, and not fall into such an awkward situation.

That's right, it would be awkward. The cause of the whole matter was that everyone knew that Ye Mingyang could not cultivate, but he also desired to cultivate. Hence, the Lau family released the news that the Starsoul Attraction had almost been stolen, and arranged witnesses and material evidence. As well as adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes, the entire matter seemed to have gone very smoothly.

They could convict Ye Mingyang and use the so-called righteousness and reason to force Ye Shan to give up the position of Martial Marquis. However, the Ancient Qilin Empire stipulated that Martial Marquis must be in charge of the city.

Who would be in charge of Martial Marquis's position?

Simply put, it was to make Ye Mingyang guilty, and then let Ye Shan exchange the position of Martial Marquis for Ye Mingyang's life. However, was the Ye family still the Ye family without a candidate?

A family without a successor?

That meant they were not worthy to be a top family in the Star Sculpting City.

A simple and effective method, but because of an ant raising its arm and shouting, it became a joke.

No one had expected that Ye Mingyang, who had been unable to cultivate all this time, would suddenly become enlightened. This was not their fault. If someone said that the sun had always come from the west, everyone would be surprised and find it hard to accept.

But today, the sun really came from the west. What should they do?

Gu Tang narrowed his eyes. For the first time, he seriously sized up the young man in front of him. Now that things had come to this point, he had no choice but to be serious.

However, would such a simple and effective plan, which was carefully planned by so many people, allow an ant to change it? Obviously not.

After experiencing the initial surprise, the first one to come back to his senses was Lau Canghai. He only smiled sinisterly and said indifferently.

"So what if you are a martial artist of the five sects? There are many pill in this world that can rapidly increase your cultivation. There are even Spirit Pills that can instantly increase cultivation level by a few levels but cannot be saved for the rest of your life. You stole our Lau family's Star Soul Attraction and consumed this pill in order to shirk your crimes. Could it be that it's impossible? "

His gaze swept across the surroundings, and then stopped on Yue Donglai. "Shopkeeper Yue, regarding the matter of the pill, you are the clearest. Speak a few words of justice."

Yue Donglai had the intention of getting up and leaving a long time ago. Today's so-called interrogation was just a farce in his eyes. It was better to end this as soon as possible and return to his Medicine King Palace.

"This kind of pill does exist in the Ancient Nether Continent, but it is extremely rare in this world. The recipes are mostly stored in those huge imperial sects. If one were to calculate the effectiveness of this ___, they would want to raise a martial artist who had just opened eight gates to the level of a martial artist who had opened five gates. This kind of pill should be sold for more than 50 spirit crystal. Moreover, the foundation of a martial artist who consumed this pill was shallow. They only have cultivation and no combat strength."

Although the words seemed fair, in reality, just fifty spirit crystal... Even if the Lau family used all their strength, they still wouldn't be able to take it out, let alone having a superficial cultivation base. Now that Ye Mingyang's cultivation base had been stirred up, he could feel that his Star Energy Gaze was incomparably heavy just by checking it with his divine soul. There was even a feeling of depth that couldn't be subpar.

Could a Rank-5 martial artist at this level still have a superficial foundation?
