Title: Entering the Saint Devil Hall
...
As the sound of this voice faded, the Child of Darkness instantly turned pale.
An instant later, a group of figures sped over. The man in the lead was clad in darkness, he was clearly in plain sight yet his features couldn't be seen clearly at all.
This expert who was clad in darkness, gave off an extremely dangerous feeling. His gaze turned to Hinami as he spoke, "Wu is stripped from his position as a Child of Darkness, he shall be barred from entering the Saint Devil Hall for the rest of his life. In addition, the Devil Emperor of my Darkness Hall has already received his punishment. Your judgement is completed."
"Thank you for understanding." Hinami replied.
"However, even if your judgement is fair, as the judiciary priestess, you are clearly acquainted with this man, yet you chose not to avoid arousing suspicion, directly pronouncing judgement on the child of darkness. In fact, you two even got re-acquainted so boldly in public, not fearing any damage to the Celestial Mountain's reputation at all. Tell me, what judgement should our Judiciary Hall give you?" That figure cloaked in darkness asked.
Shun's expression changed. The Darkness Hall had equal status to the Judiciary Hall. They were naturally unhappy with Hinami's judgement, and even a major character of that hall had stood out now. This was extremely disadvantageous to Hinami.
His acquaintance with Hinami actually became the thing others used to target her with.
This made Shun curse himself. Why was he so impulsive earlier, he shouldn't have gotten reacquainted with Hinami immediately at that situation.
At this moment, Shun was much calmer than before. In that scenario earlier, where would he have the time to think so much? Even the thought to use [Thought Acceleration] didn't come to mind
Also, Hinami also didn't pretend not to know him, and her words publicly acknowledged their relationship.
Given her current status, she could pretend not to know him but clearly, she couldn't bear to do that.
"Since the Celestial Mountain doesn't tolerate the existence of cultivator, I can leave the mountain immediately. Sir, you're an expert from the Darkness Devil Hall, why must you make things difficult for her? Although I'm acquainted with Hinami, Hinami's earlier judgement completely complied with the will of the Myriad God Sovereign, she did no wrong at all." Shun spoke.
"Now that you say you want to leave the mountain, are you hinting that our Celestial Mountain isn't magnamious and broad-minded?" That expert clad in darkness spoke to Shun.
"Wu, is arrogant. Yet since he lost to you, that was his mistake. And since you have already ascended the mountain, you naturally can enter the Saint Devil Hall. My Darkness Hall wouldn't make things difficult for you because of this incident. You can enter the Saint Devil Hall any time you want to. Also, this seat didn't say that there's a problem with Hinami's judgement. It's just that making that judgement under the scenario of getting reacquainted with you, is already breaking the rules of the Judiciary Devil Hall by itself."
"Hinami will be imprisoned in the Blood Devil Cliff. You cannot exit there for three years." From afar, an imposing voice echoed out.
Hinami's beautiful eyes flashed as she stared in the direction of the voice. "Yes, Grand Priest."
There weren't too much fluctuations in her eyes, as though the Blood Devil Cliff was just an ordinary place to her.
However, the expressions of her Devil Emperor protectors all changed. They were all very clear on what sort of place the Blood Devil Cliff was.
"Since the Grand Priest has already made the judgement, this matter shall be at an end. Wu, let's go back." The expert clad in darkness spoke.
After that, his silhouette flashed as he melded with the darkness and completely disappeared.
The hearts of many were in shock. To think that this matter would even attract the attention of the Darkness True Devil Lord and a Grand Priest of the Judiciary Devil Hall.
{A/N: The stage above Emperor. That is around 400M}
The people in the surroundings cast a deep glance at Shun.
They were somewhat astonished that this cultivator actually seemed to have quite a deep relationship with the priestess. Also, their actions were quite intimate.
The Child of Darkness left with those from the Darkness Hall. Hinami turned her eyes onto Shun and transmitted her voice gently, "Shun dear, I long expected you to ascend the Celestial Mountain. The Saint Devil Hall is a sacred ground formed entirely from the will of the Myriad God Sovereign. After you enter, you have to do your best to feel the energy there. It is neither chakra nor the energy used here. It's something more. Sigh, I won't have a chance to meet with you anytime soon."
"Nami, what sort of place is the Blood Devil Cliff?" Shun's expression changed as he asked.
"It's a normal place where one goes into for a long period of time to meditate. You, don't worry about me." Shun gently smiled.
"Shun dear, I will be leaving now. You have to be more careful here. Also, have you heard from Ria and Kaguya?"
Shun smiled for a moment before he frowned and said, "I've found Ria some time back, she should be here too, although I don't know exactly where. As for Kaguya, I have no clue, that's why I climbed up here in the first place. A young man from the apostle hall said all my wish would be granted if I could clim up here so here I am"
"Mmm... That's true... Anyways, I'll also keep a lookout for Kaguya-nee, I'll also instruct someone to take care of Ria when she climbs up."
After that, Hinami turned and walked towards the direction of the Judiciary Hall. Those experts who came with her coldly glanced at Shun, as though they were very unhappy with him.
"Nami-chan, I will definitely still be on the Celestial Mountain for the three years you are imprisoned." Shun stared at her and spoke.
Her figure continued ahead, but a smile appeared on her face.
When she saw Shun, wasn't there also happiness in her heart as well?
It was just that she has been suppressing it. It was only when Shun heard the Child of Darkness roaring her name, did he lose control.
In truth, she could have not reacquainted herself with Shun but the her at that moment also lost control of her reasoning. She wanted to let her Shun take a look at her.
As the people here dispersed, Hinami arrived back at the Judiciary Devil Hall.
Her expression suddenly turned cold again as a chill emanated from her, transformed back into the Judiciary Priestess from earlier.
....
Shun stared at in the direction where Hinami left. He then turned to the expert from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall and asked, "Sir, what sort of place is the Blood Devil Cliff?"
Although Hinami spoke very casually, Shun wouldn't be so naive as to believe her words completely.
Even if that place is extremely dangerous, she would be afraid that he would worry, and hence, would keep it from him.
And as expected, the countenance of that expert changed. He replied in a soft tone, "It's an extremely dangerous place. The priestess really treats you very well."
Shun frowned.
As expected, as the priestess of the Judiciary Hall who crippled a Devil Emperor from the Darkness Hall, as well as stripping a Child of Darkness of his title, the Grand Priest of the Judiciary Hall would definitely give her a heavy punishment or how could the other experts from the Darkness Devil Hall accept the ruling?
Naturally, this was only when she was interacting with him.
"Thanks for the info." Shun smiled. No matter what, he received news of Hinami at the very least, and knew that she was well, all that's left is to check out the Saint Devil hall and then find Kaguya.
Turning about and lifting his feet, Shun walked into the sacred ground of the Celestial Mountain, the Saint Devil Hall.
This Saint Devil Hall was something established by the Myriad God Sovereign, a supreme sacred ground of the Celestial Mountain.
The Child of Darkness didn't want him to enter, but before Hinami left, she told him to properly feel up the energy there after he entered.
The founder of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall only founded the hall after he entered and came out of the Saint Devil Hall.
In that case, he naturally had to go and see what sort of wondrous place this Saint Devil Hall is.
Shen and the others all stared at Shun's back. The life of this fellow was truly extremely tough.
Even the Darkness Devil Lord appeared, the judiciary priestess suffered his anger and displeasure in his stead, and nothing happened to him.
"Just earlier, the priestess suffered such a heavy punishment from the Grand Priest because of you. The Blood Devil Cliff is a place with only 10% chance of survival. Three years of imprisonment, I'm afraid you would no longer be able to see her. Given your personality, shouldn't you barge into the Judiciary Devil Hall and demand them to free Shun?" Shen said.
His purpose was to drive an obsession into his mind causing him to be unable to calmly feel up and comprehend what was in the hall.
Shun understiod Shen's tactics, and understood hu intentionally wanted to waver his state of mid.
Shun would always accomplish his goals, using whatever methods necessary.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Although the Blood Devil Cliff is dangerous, the priestess is an inheritor of the Judiciary Devil Hall, she would definitely have the means to protect her life." The experts from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall spoke.
They didn't want Shun's state of mind to waver when he entered the Saint Devil Hall.
Shun drew in a deep breath, he has implicated Hinami. Firstly, it was because he was unclear of the rules here on the Celestial Mountain. And secondly, it was because he was too emotional when he learned that Hinami was right before his eyes.
But who would blame him? This was his wife of nearly a century.
True to his personality, he would have stormed into that Blood devil whatever and directly brought Hinami out but he knew that unless he was prepared to lay gamble his life for an uncertain future, he could only follow the due process.
Now, what happened has already happened, regrets were useless. In that case, he can only do his very best to change the ending.
With regards to Shhn, the only thing that has hope of changing the ending, was the Saint Devil Hall.
Lifting his feet, Shun's gaze was filled with an incomparable resolution as he entered the tattered-looking devil hall.
This scene caused Shen's countenance to turn extremely unsightly.
Those experts who were already in the Saint Devil Hall, continued what they were doing. It was as though no matter what happened in the outside world, they wouldn't be affected.
Shun quickly understood why this was so. At the moment he entered the Saint Devil Hall, with him at the center, there seemed to be countless threads of law all around him.
The threads of law were interweaving, restricting and binding his body, causing him to be unable to move at all.
"What..." Shun wanted to move yet he discovered he couldn't move.
He only took a step and entered the Saint Devil Hall and was instantly restricted by the laws.
The people outside didn't feel strange when they saw this. All of them knew what sort of place the Saint Devil Hall was. After all, this was the sacred ground of their Celestial Mountain.
The Saint Devil Hall in Shun's eyes changed. It was no longer a dipliated and tattered building.
Within these walls, there seemed to be perfect law energy fusing as one entity with the Saint Devil Hall, incredibly resplendent.
He could already feel the uniqueness of the energy but If he wasn't able to comprehend this law energy, he wouldn't be able to take another step forward, and would forever remain stuck on the first step.
"How can it be so easy to enter the Saint Devil Hall? You will soon learn how terrifying this place can be." Shen coldly spoke.
He had never entered the Saint Devil Hall before because he didn't dare to attempt it. The prestige of the sacred ground was already sufficient to scare off geniuses who stood on the highest peak!
