Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 449 - 442: Whet Your Appetite with a Law Officer First

"Great Emperor, the Law Officer I've requested has already arrived and is waiting outside the Immortal Court Palace."

Emperor Wushang was still fuming over a bunch of incompetents who could not do anything right when Helian Audong stood up.

"Summon him in," Emperor Wushang said helplessly, just wanting this matter to end soon so he could go about his own affairs.

How many things did he have to do? Yet he was stuck in this Immortal Court Palace, wasting time on this trivial nuisance.

To him, the total annihilation of the Qianyuan Immortal Manor was just another trivial nuisance.

"Ding Huan?" As soon as Ding Huan entered, Bu Yingyin stared at him in shock.

Wasn't this the man she'd been yearning for as her future husband? She had searched everywhere for him, only to find him here.

No, it turned out Ding Huan was the Law Officer invited by Helian Audong. Could it be that, besides being proficient in the Law, he was also an expert in the Nine Court Immortal Law?

"Ha ha, so the Law Officer Mr. Helian was looking for is Daoist Ding. Daoist Ding, I've long admired your reputation. We must get closer in the future."

Emperor Jin He, who had remained silent until then, laughed heartily and initiated a greeting to Ding Huan.

"Ding Huan, the one greeting you is Emperor Jin He," Helian Audong quickly introduced.

"Ding Huan pays his respects to Emperor Jin He," Ding Huan also hurriedly paid his respects, as he had not changed his appearance this time.

With so many Immortal Emperors here, even if he had changed his appearance, he would have been recognized. Besides, he had come this time in search of a patron—no need to disguise himself.

"Good, good, we'll chat more after this," Emperor Jin He said with a pleasant countenance, clearly delighted to see Ding Huan.

"Young Daoist Ding Huan pays his respects to the Great Emperor. Long live the Emperor Wushang," Ding Huan hurriedly greeted Emperor Wushang.

He thought to himself how fortunate it was that this place was the Immortal Court.

If this had been the mundane world, greeting Emperor Jin He first could very well have gotten him executed.

"Not bad, a promising young man," Emperor Wushang praised, puzzled in his heart.

Why was Emperor Jin He so affectionate toward this young man? Could it be that this youth had an extraordinary background?

Ding Huan quickly approached Emperor Ping Wei again: "Ding Huan pays his respects to Emperor Ping Wei. I've been afraid to show my face for offending someone before.

If Sister Helian had not told me that Elder Ping Wei was here, I wouldn't have dared to come."

Hearing what Ding Huan said, Emperor Ping Wei immediately found this young man interesting.

He was signaling to him that if anyone intended to bully Ding Huan, he had to stand up for him.

"Ha ha, rest assured, as long as you abide by the Nine Court Immortal Law within the Immortal Court, no one will dare to treat you unfairly," Emperor Ping Wei gave Ding Huan peace of mind.

Ding Huan was overjoyed. This was the correct way to engage with the Immortal Court; at least now he had a patron.

He didn't have to take one lesson only to be hunted and sought after.

Nor did he need to hide and sneak around to cultivate Immortal Spirit Rice.

In Bu Yingyin's heart, however, things sank. Ding Huan had won the favor of Emperor Ping Wei, and Emperor Jin He also regarded Ding Huan with a favorable eye.

Under such circumstances, the chance of forcibly taking Ding Huan to the Immortal Prime Minister's Mansion to marry was almost impossible.

Jimi, the Commander of the Immortal Court Jiachen Division, watched Ding Huan. Upon entering, Ding Huan was not at all overwhelmed by the imposing presence of the many Immortal Emperors and spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

Not only that, but he knew first to seek a sense of security from Emperor Ping Wei.

Ji Shang's words were indeed correct; Ding Huan truly was talented.

But at this moment, Ding Huan was under Emperor Ping Wei's protection and had exchanged words with Emperor Jin He. All he could do was befriend him.

Bringing this person to the Immortal Demon Battlefield, along with Ji Shang, would definitely be a boon for Ji Shang.

They couldn't discuss it now, though. They would wait until this case was over.

"Ding Huan, today you serve as the Law Officer for the Xiu Lun case. Are you prepared?" Emperor Wushang wanted to quickly put an end to the affairs here.

Ding Huan bowed again: "Great Emperor, long live the Emperor Wushang. My visit this time is not for Xiu Lun's case, but merely as the Law Officer commissioned by Lu Chongdao; I am here solely for his case."

The case of Xiu Lun held no benefits for him, and he couldn't be bothered with it.

After Lu Chongdao was imprisoned, he saw no effort from Xiu Xu to help Lu Chongdao.

After all, Lu Chongdao was framed for the sake of your son. Yet how did you, Xiu Xu, respond? Only caring for your son and acting as if Lu Chongdao's imprisonment was none of your concern.

Is your son a person, and the entire Qianyuan Immortal Manor not?

Xiu Xu's expression darkened. Regardless of Ding Huan's ability, such blatant disregard for his son's case was a slap in his face.

But remembering Ding Huan's patrons, he could only suppress his anger.

He couldn't even overcome Bu Yue, so how would he confront a Great Emperor? That would be laughably absurd.

No fool stood in the Immortal Court Palace; everyone understood what was happening.

Ding Huan clearly did not wish to exert himself for Xiu Xu's benefit by explicitly stating he was here for Lu Chongdao's case.

Ding Huan was certainly an interesting character. The reason he acted this way was surely because after Lu Chongdao's imprisonment, Xiu Xu showed no concern, not even bothering to visit Lu Chongdao in the dungeon.

Ding Huan was a friend of Helian Audong's, not Xiu Xu's friend.

"Very well," Emperor Wushang nodded: "These two cases can indeed be judged separately. Immortal Official Ying Fang, you are the Law Officer of the Prime Minister Mansion. Now, express your views on Lu Chongdao's case."

"Yes," Ying Fang stepped forward. To him, Ding Huan was merely a whipper-snapper not worthy of attention.

A mere Golden Immortal ant daring to discuss Nine Court Immortal Law with him—today, he would teach this young pinnacle a lesson about life.

To say nothing of memorizing the whole Nine Court Immortal Law—even if it was possible to memorize, could a tiny Golden Immortal really debate the law with him?

Was he seeking death or begging for it?

"Law Officer Ding Huan, Lu Chongdao is charged with the crimes of insubordination and corruption. According to the Nine Court Immortal Law, he is sentenced to death by hanging. However, taking into account Lu Chongdao's initially good intentions, we permit him to be reincarnated..."

Ying Fang planned to intimidate Ding Huan right from the start, so his voice was extremely stern.

"Hold it..."

Ding Huan unapologetically reached out to stop Ying Fang.

Trying to scare who?

Ying Fang looked at Ding Huan with bewilderment, but Ding Huan turned to Emperor Wankang, clasping his fists and said, "Emperor Wankang, there is yet no final judgment on Lu Chongdao's case, yet Ying Fang has prematurely declared the verdict.

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

According to Article 1311 of the Nine Court Immortal Law, this is a crime of arbitrary judgment without evidence. Considering no severe consequences have occurred, the punishment can be one hundred strokes of the flogging, one thousand years of imprisonment, and a fine of one hundred thousand high-grade Immortal Crystals."

Everyone was stunned by Ding Huan's audacious move. Was this even possible?

Dammit, they had only just started the proceeding, and he had already taken down the Law Officer?

Ying Fang, furious, said, "Ding Huan, I was merely hypothesizing. Is it wrong to assume that Lu Chongdao is guilty if the charges against him are confirmed? According to Article 19000 of the Nine Court Immortal Law, before the conclusion of a case, it is permissible to hypothesize.

If it is permissible to hypothesize before enacting the Immortal Law, then my alleged crime cannot stand.

Since my crime of arbitrary judgment without evidence cannot be established, according to Article 8306, you have committed the crime of falsely accusing a Law Officer. You are to be sentenced to twenty-three thousand years of imprisonment and have four of your meridians severed."

All individuals within the Immortal Court Palace were revitalized.

Impressive, this is getting interesting.

Without even starting, both Law Officers were trying to put the other behind bars.

The key thing was, it was the young upstart Ding Huan who initiated the move.

Ying Fang, being experienced, easily managed to counter and implicate Ding Huan with a serious charge.

Helian Audong had not even had the chance to rejoice before he started worrying.

This was happening too quickly.

The first round of the confrontation was not yet over, and one of the Law Officers was already facing downfall.

"Law Officer Ding, do you have anything to say?" Emperor Wushang was somewhat disappointed. If that was all Ding Huan had, he had come only to be humiliated.

Ding Huan raised a Crystal Ball and said, "Great Emperor, and all Superiors. This is the Dao Rhythm Law Fluctuation of Ying Fang when he spoke just now. I have recorded it, and it is clearly visible.

Empty talk is easy, but our Nine Court Immortal Law is not to be determined by rigid statutes alone, but rather by the fluctuations of the Dao Rhythm Law.

When Ying Fang declared Lu Chongdao guilty, his body's Dao Rhythm was filled with confidence, and the space fluctuation carried a firm and undeniable Law Aura.

This is evidence that he had already condemned Lu Chongdao in his heart, with the Law Fluctuation as proof, which is not something sophistry can obscure."

The Crystal Ball hovered in the void, as Ding Huan had doctored it somewhat.

Even those unclear about the Law could clearly see the confident and adamant Dao Rhythm Fluctuation and aura that emanated from Ying Fang as he spoke.

In the Nine Court Immortal Law, Law evidence is the most powerful, followed by scene, and finally the statutes themselves.

Once the Law Crystal Ball was presented, not only was Ying Fang dumbfounded, but even Emperor Wushang was slightly stupefied.

People soon realized the skill involved. D*mn it, this was surely the work of a master.

Everyone knew that the Law within the Crystal Ball had been clarified by Ding Huan's methods, but this did not affect the outcome, it just made things clearer for everyone to see.

Commander Ji Mi of the Immortal Court Jiachen Division clenched his fists tightly, his brows jumping with excitement.

My child was so right; Ding Huan is far more than just talented.

This combat power, it's simply explosive.

Not only is his combat strength impressive, but he is also decisive. Apart from the initial greetings, he has not uttered a single pointless word.

We have to recruit him into our army at all costs; he cannot be absent from the Immortal Demon Battlefield.

While Ji Mi had been considering his son Ji Shang, now he was considering his own plans.

"Indeed impressive," Emperor Ping Wei thought with great pleasure; he was very pleased with Ding Huan's performance now.

Just moments ago, Mu Jiuting had let him down tremendously; Ying Fang had listed a multitude of charges and laid out the Immortal Law, but Mu Jiuting couldn't refute even a single charge.

Now see how Ding Huan is dealing with Ying Fang?

"Ying Fang, do you have a defense?" Emperor Wushang asked Ying Fang.

Ying Fang, his mouth half-open, faced with the Law Crystal Ball—irrefutable evidence; what defense could he possibly have?

It was like when he had presented the Law Crystal Ball before, rendering Mu Jiuting speechless.

His plan was to throw out the verdict for Lu Chongdao because ultimately, it would be him to pass the sentence; therefore, he was naturally full of confidence.

He had hoped to crush Ding Huan's fighting spirit first, and then justify his verdict by revealing the Immortal Law one by one.

But this bastard unexpectedly deviated from convention, catching him entirely off guard.

If he were to be imprisoned over this debacle, Ying Fang would become the laughingstock of the Immortal Court.

As a Law Officer, especially one who serves under the Immortal Law Department as a Flag Leader, he would be a joke if he were to be sent to the dungeon by another Law Officer.

"Bring forth Ying Fang for the hundred strokes of flogging," Emperor Wushang ordered upon seeing Ying Fang had no defense, instructing the Powerful Warriors to execute the punishment.

So what if he's a Flag Leader? In the face of the Nine Court Immortal Law, no one has any privileges.

"Ding Huan, even if you have me flogged today, I will not leave this place until Lu Chongdao's case is concluded," Ying Fang said through gritted teeth.

Ding Huan spoke indifferently, "Even if you wished to leave, I, as the presiding Law Officer, wouldn't allow it. Having met me, you shall go through the same trials as Lu Chongdao. Otherwise, I, Ding Huan, would be incompetent."
