Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 806 - 761: Public Execution

The Demon Realm Alliance rarely executes in public.

After all, the relationships between departments are intricate, the interests entangled, and they must maintain the alliance’s dignity to the outside world.

Even if a member makes a grave mistake, it’s dealt with in secret as a "family matter".

Afterward, they find an excuse that doesn’t hurt their reputation, and everyone understands what’s occurred. Without anyone scrutinizing too closely, the issue is brushed aside.

However, today is unusual as they intend to execute publicly. As the chief executioner entrusted by the Law Enforcement Hall, Gao Yi, the Iron-faced Young Master, dares not be careless in the slightest.

After checking the execution tools once more and ensuring there were no issues, he knocked on the dark cell bars and said solemnly, "Director Ding, the execution is about to proceed. Do you have anything to say?"

"So soon? Impossible! You must be trying to scare me." Ding Shun’an, who was dazing in the cell, shivered internally, sat up, and stubbornly argued, "I admit to accepting bribes and making mistakes, but who in the entire alliance hasn’t taken some benefits?

If one were executed for such a minor issue, there wouldn’t be many left alive in the alliance. Besides, I’ve only been caught for a few days, and they merely sent a couple of people to ask a few idle questions, and that’s it? I’m convicted already? I don’t believe it!"

Facing the ridiculous and feeble rhetoric, Gao Yi remained expressionless, yet his tone was filled with sarcasm, "I’ve long heard that fools become arrogant after being in a high position for a long time. I didn’t believe it before, but seeing you today, it seems to be true."

His tall figure stepped forward, casting a shadow over the other person.

The oppressive atmosphere created by the high walls and torches in the cell became even more intense.

"Director Ding, you are so naive. You are about to be executed with the severest punishment. Do you really not know the magnitude of your crimes, or are you just being obstinate?

I advise you to reflect on yourself, as I’m the only one willing to listen to you now. For the sake of our many years working together, I’ll have one last chat with you, to accumulate some Yin Virtue."

Suddenly shivering, Ding Shun’an realized that the other person was not here to induce a confession. The confidence he had been forcing instantly halved, "I, I only accepted a bit of Immortal Jade. How does that make my crime so severe?

Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be dumb? Those more powerful than me have taken an uncountable amount of Immortal Jade! They use their power to amass wealth and form factions, while I, for being too honest, got caught..."

Gao Yi coldly said, "Who is pretending to be dumb? It was a Demon Cultivator you were trading with.

No matter how others peddle their power, they have not done anything to betray the Demon Race. You are different, Director Ding. You sold the alliance’s information to a Demon Cultivator; you are a traitor who bites the hand that feeds you!"

"You, you all know?" Ding Shun’an’s face instantly turned deathly pale, his body trembling violently, losing the last bit of confidence.

No wonder the two investigators didn’t even say a single useless word during interrogation, only asking which year, month, and day money was accepted. It turns out they already knew all the insider details?

I thought it was just a small matter of being caught for taking Immortal Jade bribes, so I didn’t overthink it. I had done everything so covertly, almost seamlessly, how could it be discovered?

"The Demon Cultivator you traded with was captured and confessed." Gao Yi continued to stare expressionlessly, "Director Ding is not a Demon Cultivator of Wilderness World, but from an Otherworld, and it is normal to feel no sense of belonging here.

However, sneaking into the alliance, you partake in its benefits but curse it when you put the bowl down; turn the alliance-given authority against it, which is very despicable. Such malevolent behavior must be publicly executed to warn others."

It was like a thunderclap over his head, Ding Shun’an knew he was utterly doomed.

He lunged forward grabbing the black specially made bars, violently shaking them while screaming, "This world is beyond salvation; your steadfastness is just a futile struggle! Wilderness will collapse; in a few years, even daylight won’t hold, and the entire world will crumble."

Ding Shun’an’s face wedged in the bar’s gap, lit by the firelight, looked sinister and beguiling as he said, "Given that, why not plan well for yourself?

Ascension to Immortality is merely a mythical lie by the Cultivation Realm.

How many cultivators throughout the ages have successfully ascended? We, the Demon Cultivators, can stop daydreaming. It’s impossible!

If we can’t ascend, the meaning of cultivation boils down to two things: First, live as long as possible; second, live as comfortably as possible.

The Wilderness is destined to perish, why not sell it at a good price to the Demon King. Those stupid Demon Cultivators won’t consider if it’s worth it; they just want to pollute, pollute, best if they can turn all worlds into the Demon Realm!

We sell the doomed Wilderness at a handsome price, taking a huge load of Immortal Jade to teleport to other safer, more beautiful worlds, isn’t that good?"

The bar creaked as it shook. He bared his sharp teeth, greed evident on his face, "Gao Yi, how much dirty and hard work have you done for the alliance over these years? What did they give you? Nothing!

What are you persisting for? Waiting for the world to end, for heaven and earth to shatter and die with your birthplace? Is it worth it? Preserving the place of birth for ascension, that’s something only those in the Tribulation Crossing Realm need to worry about; what concern is it to us?"

"Taking the Demon King for a fool, you are the foolish one." Gao Yi finally spoke softly after checking the time, "Think about it, Director Ding. Why did the Demon Race once invade the Wilderness World at all cost, driving humans away and seizing this land? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Now, despite knowing the Wilderness will fall, the Demon King still tries to claim this world like the Demon Race once did. Guess, why?"
