As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, their words are kind.
However, this was not reflected in Bai Haoxian, the Demon.
By now, he understood very well that the other party brought him here for judgment, with no intention of sparing his life.
So since he was going to die anyway, he decided to go all out and mock them bitterly.
"This world is inherently a place where the weak are prey to the strong. Since one has the strength to control the lives of others, why not use it well? To gain greater benefits for oneself, that’s the truth."
Bai Haoxian looked at Ali Gale with disdain, a twisted grin on his face.
"Just like me, being a killer is simply my job. Can you say it’s wrong? And that young master is the same; he wants to kill your people because you infringed upon his interests, so he’s retaliating—what’s wrong with that?"
He spoke eloquently, as if the world was drunk and he was the only one awake.
Ali Gale couldn’t stand these twisted arguments and was about to retort when Su Changqing raised his hand to stop him. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
"No need to argue with him. Since he likes the law of the jungle, there’s nothing more to say about his current fate."
Upon hearing this, Bai Haoxian gave him a thumbs-up and laughed:
"Haha, there are indeed people here who understand the truth."
His expression was carefree, and he closed his eyes accordingly.
"Come on, my life should have ended twenty years ago. I’ve lived long enough, just give me a quick death! Isn’t it just dying? Don’t think I’ll be afraid, hahaha!"
The Holy Temple reverberated with his reckless laughter, causing Aaron and others nearby to frown.
However, Su Changqing in front of him had no intention of killing him but instead waved his fingers in the air, sketching out a Starry Eyes Array, and said:
"In this world, the birth of every life is a collection of countless coincidences, and each life is unique. No one can arbitrarily take the life of others. Those who disregard life will also be disregarded by life..."
"Bai Haoxian, as a human, you have taken so many lives of your kin. Now, as the Inspector of the Star Alliance, under the witness of the Eye of Truth, I declare you guilty!"
"From today on, you will be exiled beneath Li Island until death claims you. Eternal darkness will envelop you, and endless solitude will accompany you. Go forth to the eternal abyss to repent."
Su Changqing solemnly recited the sentence, and then the Starry Eyes Array in his hand shot out, landing on Bai Haoxian.
The ground around him rumbled, and with the trembling earth, thick plant roots burst from the ground, wrapping around Bai Haoxian like pythons.
"What, what are you doing! Ah!! Bastard! Just kill me if you dare! What are you doing!!!"
Bai Haoxian no longer retained his former calm demeanor; his face twisted in pain, he furiously cursed the person before him.
Nonetheless, those roots paid no heed to his shouts, with the spikes on them mercilessly piercing into his body, injecting a fluid in.
This fluid wasn’t any poison; on the contrary, it was a nutrient from the World Tree called "Life Sustaining Module," a special offer this month.
Once injected, this fluid can sustain a person without eating or drinking, with a tiny amount lasting an entire day.
Bai Haoxian was quite lucky to be the first prisoner injected with this nutrient.
He would be kept alive by the World Tree, his consciousness preserved, and then eternally buried in the abyss below the Seven-star Lake.
This punishment is called "exile."
The Li Island that Su Changqing referred to is another name for Tianshu Island.
Geographically, it’s the farthest from the other six islands.
Functionally, it is where the Moon Shadow Hall will imprison captured criminals, thus earning its nickname.
At this moment, Bai Haoxian could hardly remain unaware of his impending fate. He widened his eyes, opening his mouth to shout something loudly.
However, the roots of the World Tree had already mounted him, restraining his movement and covering his mouth, rendering him incapable of uttering a single word.
As he struggled incessantly, those thick roots completely surrounded him, forming an enclosed prison, and then slowly pulled him underground.
Jin Duocan witnessed this scene with growing horror, yet he was rendered silent by Su Changqing, unable to open his mouth no matter what.
Su Changqing glanced at him, but did not intend to release him, proceeding to recite the final sentencing declaration.
Both Ali Gale and his girlfriend Mary were witnessing such a scene for the first time and felt chills run through them.
Somehow, they felt a trace of sympathy for these two fellows.
After all, that is an endless underwater abyss.
Preserving their consciousness and imprisoning them, unable to see, speak, or move, lasting until the end of life...
If it were them, they would rather be killed outright with one blow.
In an isolated, non-communicative space, unable to perceive the passage of time and losing most sensory perception, this is to be the most cruel punishment for human beings as intelligent life forms.
