Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 333 Sentencing to Death and the Sentencing Bloody Hell

Judging from the tone of his speech, he did not put Ding Hao in his eyes at all. That attitude was not pretentious, as it felt natural.

Ding Hao secretly observed. Suddenly a name occurred to him.

It was said that among the core disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, there were four distinguished people called “The Four Young Masters of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect”. One of them liked jade very much and had unsurpassed sword technique. He was arrogant. When in his prime, he was called “Young Master Jade”. The rich master before Ding Hao was him.

As for the formerly mean young man, his name was Shen Ku. Ding Hao had heard of the name. On that day, in the herb shop of Ximen Qianxue, the inner disciples who incited Wang Xiaosai, the chubby wax gourd, to find some trouble with him had been sent by Shen Ku.

Ding Hao vaguely understood why Shen Ku was so hostile to him.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally provoked a guy who was in a high position. It seemed that Shen Ku was not broad-minded. Ding Hao was afraid that he might be directed against him again.

Ding Hao was a bit depressed.

The joint trails between the six palaces had officially begun.

In the whole process, except for the beginning, Li Jianyi the head said something, the other six areas of light did not make any sound. Instead, the over twenty people standing in the main hall made speeches one after another. They discussed and argued.

Ding Hao was completely left aside.

Perhaps in the eyes of those people, it was upon valid evidence that Ding Hao had murdered. So there was no need to waste their precious time on that. Therefore, the topics discussed by the people were some other major events in the Sect.

For example, one of the most important things was that after five months, the Ranking Conference held every ten years in the Snow Province would take place. At that time, some super sects in the Northern Region would send messengers to preside over the conference. Then the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would assign superiors at different levels to take part in the conference and strive to raise the rank of the Sect up a notch...

It was the first time that Ding Hao had heard about the Ranking Conference of the Sect.

It turned out that the rank of the nine sects in the Snow Province was actually obtained that way. It was still unknown who would decide the ranks and in what way would those ranks be beneficial to the Sect.

In the process, the six areas of light seldom spoke. Basically, it was discussed by twenty or more people underneath. When some key issues were involved, the quarrel became very fierce. Moreover, there were even verbal attacks which was an eye-opener to Ding Hao.

Gradually, Ding Hao also learned some methods.

Those twenty or so people were roughly divided into seven factions. “Young Master Jade” was one of the leading figures of a populous faction. He was extremely tough and had won the upper hand most of the time. However, Shen Ku was an ordinary member of another small faction and he basically had no weight in speaking.

Apart from those two factions, the number of the other factions were basically the same. They were evenly matched and had different positions. They would unite or oppose each other on different matters while pursuing their own interests.

Among them, one faction caught Ding Hao’s attention.

The number of that faction was relatively smaller than the faction of “Young Master Jade”. Most of the time, the faction remained silent and low-key, rarely expressing opinions. Its head was a young man in a white long robe. He seemed ordinary, but he had bright piercing eyes which looked like stars in the dark sky, constantly changing. He held an ordinary steel long sword in his arms with a subtle expression, as if he were gently embracing a lover.

Ding Hao had a strange intuition.

The strength of the silent young man in the white robe should be within the top three of the twenty or so people in the main hall. Even the “Young Master Jade” was not his match. However, it was unknown why the young man in white was a bit lonely. He was not high-spirited and he was full of worries.

The whole process of discussion lasted for about four to six hours.

Ding Hao was completely left aside.

However; he was happy to widen his horizons while standing aside.

Not only did he get to know the strange way of discussing in the High-level of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, but he had also heard a lot of information that he couldn’t get on his daily life. His understanding of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, the dominating sect in the Snow Province, became deeper.

At the end of the conference, the head Li Jianyi and the other six areas of light spoke one after another. After a brief exchange between them, they ended the debate for those twenty or so present.

After all, the final decision was still in the hands of the seven giants.

However, Ding Hao gradually had a strange feeling.

He found that as the supreme head of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, Li Jianyi’s will could not be satisfied completely during the process. He needed to make some compromises from time to time to get the recognition and approval of the other six halls.

The long discussion ended when Ding Hao was too bored to let his mind wander.

Those high-ranking big shots finally seemed to remember that there was a person in the main hall waiting to be sentenced.

The faction of “Young Master Jade” had a lot of interests in that confrontation. He was in a good mood. Without looking at Ding Hao he said coldly, “The conference today is over. The nominal disciple named Ding something committed a crime. The evidence is clear and there is no need to ask again. It is up to the Sentencing Hall to cripple his cultivation and sentence him to death according to the laws of the Sect.

Crippling his cultivation and sentencing him to death?!

By just saying that, Ding Hao’s death sentence was pronounced.

Ding Hao was not vengeful. But after being calculated by “Young Master Jade” for several times, at that moment, his face couldn’t help but show a sneer. He stared at “Young Master Jade” and secretly assigned it to his enemy camp.

“On this point, I agree with you,” Shen Ku said with meanness and dignity. “However; crippling him and sentencing him to death is too merciful. Ding Hao killed three disciples in my sect, especially “Surprising Sword” Lu Pengfei who had won the five academies competition three times in a row. The rare talent was cruelly killed by Ding Hao. This act of destroying the foundation of my sect is really abhorrent. I think that before crippling him and sentencing him to death, he should be imprisoned for ten days in the “sentencing bloody hell” as a warning to others.

Everyone’s faces changed.

The “sentencing bloody hell” was the place in Swordsmanship-seeking Sect where the most wicked criminals were sentenced. It was located at the main hall of the Sentencing Hall, 1000 meters beneath the ground. It was said that the Astral Wind whistled, alternating between coldness and heat. Warriors who entered it would get their flesh and blood, muscles and bones tortured. It was just as brutal as the most wicked punishment—dismemberment.

The people in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect all changed their faces when talking about the “sentencing bloody hell”.

Since the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had been established, for a thousand years, less than twenty people were put into the “sentencing bloody hell” and tortured to death because of unforgivable sins. Most of the time, the bloodthirsty evils and aberrant people were held in it.
