Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1111 - 1110: Nine Layer Tower
Boom!
An Elder couldn’t bear it any longer, and slammed the table into pieces with a single palm.
The spiritual energy was majestic, the power so overwhelming that it sent chills down the spine.
"Silence!"
The Elder pointed at Fang Yu and rebuked, "Audacious brat, the Great Elder gave you a chance to explain, not to spout nonsense and slander! Where did you get the gall to speak recklessly in the Judgment Hall of the Flower Domain? And who gave you the audacity, with your mere Taoist Saint Realm cultivation, to act as the teacher of Her Highness the Princess of Flower Domain!? It’s simply outrageous, infuriating! This child speaks absurdities, I earnestly request the Great Elder to execute justice on the spot, to set things right. Otherwise, how can our Flower Domain hold its ground in this world?"
"I request the Great Elder to handle matters according to the rules!"
The other three Elders also stood up and bowed to the Great Elder.
The air was stagnant, the atmosphere odd.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Fang Yu merely smiled indifferently and said, "Unable to out-argue me, now you’re angry and want to silence me? I simply can’t believe it, is there really not a single reasonable person in the entire Flower Domain?"
"Bold!"
An Elder clapped loudly.
At this critical moment.
Mo Huajian’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yu...
"Princess! Be careful!"
That Elder, being a peerless powerhouse, reversed his movement, and all the power rolled back.
His face was full of shock and confusion.
The Great Elder Mo Zheng, with deep eyes full of doubt, hoarsely said, "Huajian, you promised me not to interfere in this trial. You agreed to accept all the judgments of the Elder Council. Have you forgotten...?"
Mo Huajian solemnly replied, "Great Elder, I remember all that you said! But what Huajian needs to accept is a fair trial, not one where black is mistaken for white, and right and wrong are confused."
"Princess, you—" other Elders trembled with anger.
What does it mean to confuse right and wrong, to mistake black for white?
Mo Zheng sighed, shook his head, and said, "Huajian, don’t forget, you are a part of the Flower Domain, a princess with noble status."
"Regardless of the person, regardless of status, everything should be about reasoning... if there’s no reasoning, what is the significance of the trial? What would be the point of having patrols in the Flower Domain? Might as well just see who has the bigger fist! Great Elder, you are a Shattering Ancient Realm cultivator of the Flower Domain, with deep qualifications and great virtue, you could kill with just a word without reasoning! Why make it this troublesome?" Mo Huajian replied with neither inferiority nor arrogance.
"Insolent!"
Buzz.
The Great Elder Mo Zheng was finally enraged.
Just an outburst of two simple words from him, and Mo Huajian took a few steps back, face turning pale, forehead covered with sweat.
Mo Zheng said, "Your Highness, as the head of the Elder Council, I must naturally fulfill my duties. Listening to diverse opinions grants clarity, whereas bias brings darkness, surely you understand?"
Mo Huajian was still undeterred, returning to her original position, she said, "Listening to diverse opinions grants clarity, whereas bias brings darkness! As the Princess of the Flower Domain, do I not even have the right to speak?"
"The Princess may speak! The Elder Council has no right to obstruct!" Mo Zheng raised his voice.
"Alright! Then listen carefully!"
Mo Huajian looked around, her voice loud——
"First, I saw with my own eyes, Mo Changming, relying on his immense strength, oppressed Tiandu Mountain. Tiandu Mountain was forced to defend, and Mo Changming forcibly used his Domain, exhausting himself to death; second, anyone can say that Mister Fang is not qualified to be my teacher, but I alone cannot! In this world, no one would have more qualifications than my teacher! Under the guidance of my teacher... I have already reached the Shattering Void! In the past fifty thousand years, the so-called Heaven Stepping Great Cultivator mentioned by the Great Elder, has he ever helped me? When I reached the Shattering Void, then he wanted to take me as his disciple, what then is the purpose of my apprenticeship?"
These words fell.
The entire room fell silent.
Who would dare to argue with Her Highness the Princess? Only the Great Elder Mo Zheng had the qualification, only he could speak with Her Highness.
However.
Mo Zheng did not speak, but looked at Mo Huajian with complicated eyes.
Mo Huajian continued:
"Finally, I emphasize again—no one in this world has more qualification for apprenticeship than I do. It’s my apprenticeship, not yours. If anyone dares to disrespect my teacher... don’t blame me, Mo Huajian, for turning heartless!"
The audience erupted.
This was a public opposition against the Elder Council of the Flower Domain.
What was to be done?
The Elder Council was truly puzzled as to why Mo Huajian would act this way?!
The Great Elder Mo Zheng, slowly stood up, face calm, yet his eyes were sharp.
"Fine! Since the Princess so insists... then as the head of the Elder Council, I have nothing more to say. The Elder Council will most certainly respect the Princess’s opinion. About Mo Changming’s death, I can let it go. As for what the Princess said, that he is a Great Cultivator, and possessing great virtue, needs further confirmation... the Princess should know, the Flower Domain’s royal lineage selection of teachers has always required the approval of the Elder Council, even the Domain Master. I will report this matter to the Domain Master."
Mo Zheng slowly raised his hand, instantly the guards surrounded Fang Yu with tridents poised in front, ready to strike.
Mo Zheng shook his head and said, "Take this man to the Nine Layer Tower..."
Nine Layer Tower!!
The entire room was shocked.
Mo Huajian quickly stood in front of Fang Yu and said, "Great Elder! The reasoning is clear, the teacher is not at fault, why should he be detained in the Nine Layer Tower?"
The Great Elder Mo Zheng’s tone turned serious:
"Huajian! For your sake, I overlooked many things with him. But he must enter this Nine Layer Tower! Only by entering the Nine Layer Tower can it be determined whether, as you claim, he is a Great Cultivator, a man of great virtue... if he cannot even endure the Nine Layer Tower, what qualification does he have to be your teacher? This involves the ceremonial rules and traditions of the Flower Domain, something not decided by you alone!"
The hall fell quiet.
If the Great Elder says this.
Then there was no room for retreat.
Little Rain whispered, "Teacher, this Nine Layer Tower has nine restrictions, and each level has different rules. Only those with truly strong comprehension, impeccable character, and deep understanding of the world’s great Dao rules can successfully reach the top of the Nine Layer Tower. Even Heaven Stepping Realm cultivators have no absolute certainty of reaching the top."
These words were heard even by the Elder Council.
Mo Zheng walked down with his hands behind his back, his gaze falling on Fang Yu——
"The Nine Layer Tower is not a prison, nor a place to detain you. I simply want to give you an opportunity! If you can step on the fifth floor, the Flower Domain will acknowledge your status, and I will, on behalf of the Elder Council, offer you an apology. You will then rightfully become the princess’s teacher, enjoying reverence from all!"
Upon hearing this.
Fang Yu nodded.
Mo Huajian, however, whispered, "Teacher, don’t agree... with me here, no one can do anything to you, not even if my father comes! It’s not feasible... This Nine Layer Tower is full of crises, it sounds like a test, but in fact, it poses life-threatening risks!"
Yet Fang Yu pressed Mo Huajian’s arm down gently with a slight smile, "Then let’s go..."
