Chapter 1077 Ji Yuan's Punishment for Jun Feitian

After Millenium Jun Feitian confessed all his misdeeds to Ji Yuan and to all the other Cardinals, he was allowed to leave the banquet hall.

He had actually wanted to kill Ji Yuan for a couple of reasons.

It is not only because Ji Yuan is a lowly human but because he has also wanted to protect the Cardinal Priestess from him.

He also admitted that he had thought of replacing the Cardinal Priestess with Juan Xian'Er after the position of the Cardinal Priestess is vacant.

Jun Qianfeng and Li Yifen also defended Millenium Jun Feitian.

Li Yifen said, "He is just a hothead that can only think in a straight line. That is quite renown in the Nightfall Heights. That is why he is being used by that Herald Ma Laide and also by Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang. Alas, to think that I had actually trusted her all this while and even thinking of grooming her…"

Jun Qianfeng also pleaded for Millenium Jun Feitian, "Although I don't get along well with my brother but he is definitely not a servant of the Abyssal King Gong Magog. He is fiercely protective of our Ancient Race."

Ji Yuan did not deny this as he had witnessed the aggressiveness of Millenium Jun Feitian as he led the Centurions and Cohorts to fight hard against the abyssal army of the Immortal Abyssal Gong Nephilim.

Moreover, Ji Yuan was quite acute to see that Millenium Jun Feitian actually had the respect of his men or else they won't not obey his commands without any hesitation. 

Millenium Jun Feitian had also admitted that Confidant Ur Muyuan was actually one of his many lovers and also a secret spy that he had planted to keep track of his elder sister the Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng.

Confidant Ur Muyuan actually did not deny this and she had continued to smile sweetly. She merely said, "I am willing to accept any punishment from my Cardinal Confidant, barring expulsion."

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng asked her curiously, "You still expect me to retain you in my services after I have known that you are spying for my brother."

Confidant Ur Muyuan was actually smarter than she looked and she was usually quite docile.

She laughed softly, "Millenium Jun Feitian is your brother and that makes me your little sister-in-law. Is it wrong for me to tell my lord and your brother about my elder sister-in-law?"

When Confidant Ur Muyuan had said this, even Jun Qianfeng was also smiling wryly. Also, she was actually quite fond of Ur Muyuan and she would sorely miss her services if she was really not around. 

So she merely waved her fingers, "Await your punishment for now while I think of an appropriate punishment for you." 

Li Yifen said to Ji Yuan, throwing a soft look upon him. "Savior Ji Yuan, I know what Millenium Jun Feitian wants to do to you is unpardonable but I hope that you can be lenient with you. Since the Cardinal Tribune isn't here, I shall leave his punishment to you instead."

When she had said this, the Cardinal Patriarch, the Cardinal Pope and the Cardinal Herald were all agreeing that since Ji Yuan was the target of Millenium Jun Feitian's aggression, it was more appropriate for Ji Yuan to think of a more suitable punishment instead.

Also, this is one of the ancient tradition and law of the Ancient Race as well to let the offender decides the punishment.

Ji Yuan stared coldly at Millenium Jun Feitian, "Punishment, is it? He certainly deserves to die for offending me."

When he had said this, Millenium Jun Feitian had immediately broken into cold sweats. 

This included Li Yifen and Jun Qianfeng as well; no matter what their differences were, they were after all still a family and they did not want Millenium Jun Feitian to die.

Due to their political differences, they were split into 3 opposing factions. 

Ji Yuan grinned as he said to Millenium Jun Feitian, "Therefore your punishment will be to fight for your Cardinal Priestess, fight for the Nightfall Heights, fight for the honor of the Ancient Race. So, Millenium Jun Feitian, do you accept your punishments?"

Millenium Jun Feitian was stunned, "This… is my punishment? Isn't this a little too light?"

Even Jun Qianfeng and Li Yifen were looking quite stunned as well.

Not only them but Xuan Qiaoqiao, Juan Xian'Er, the 3 other Cardinals were also looking quite startled. 

Confidant Ur Muyuan was also looking surprised; she had thought of pleading for Millenium Jun Feitian too and sharing in his punishments as well. After all, she truly loves Jun Feitian with all her heart. 

Ji Yuan grinned, "You want more? Fine. How about stopping your quarrels with the Cardinal Harpy and Cardinal Confidant?"

Millenium Jun Feitian was startled as he muttered, "Yes, yes…"

Then he quickly patted his chest hard, "I'll fight for my Cardinal Priestess, fight to defend the Nightfall Heights and to fight for the honor of my Ancient Race till the end of my days! As for…"

He took a guilty look at Li Yifen and Jun Qianfeng, "Even if I am the Cardinal Tribune in the future, I'll not quarrel with them in the future."

The office of the Cardinal Tribune is the most powerful office in the Nightfall Heights, commanding all the elite cultivators and legions of the Nightfall Heights. 

Together with the offices of the Cardinal Patriarch and the Cardinal Pope, these 3 offices wield a powerful influence in the policies of the Nightfall Heights. 

Ji Yuan's light punishment surprised Ding Xiaoxiao who was looking curiously at him.

Ding Xiaoxiao could not help but muttered, "Why is your punishment so light? At least break his arm or a leg for a hundred years."

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! 

But Ji Yuan merely laughed aloud jovially.

One must know that Ji Yuan was extremely foul mouthed and he could not help it but in reality, he was actually quite a magnanimous fellow.

If he was not a magnanimous fellow, he would not have united the Five Heavens Peak together again after he had returned as a saint. 

These nasty cultivators at the Five Heaven Peaks had tried to attack his Emperor Hall Sect after it was down on its luck.

If he was not a magnanimous fellow, he would not have united the unorthodox cultivators together into a single friendly alliance and even befriend Shen Qin as a brother; Shen Qin had actually tried to kill him.

As long as the offense had not come to fruition, Ji Yuan was actually quick to forgive and to forget.

He had many brothers from his brawls as well, mostly his drinking brothers and he traded slights and insults with them frequently. 

Ji Yuan frowned to Ding Xiaoxiao, "This is enough already."

Ding Xiaoxiao: …

Li Yifen quickly said to Millenium Jun Feitian and Confidant Ur Muyuan as she was afraid that Ji Yuan might add more to the punishments, "The two of you are dismissed for now. Go now and do not disturb us."

Millenium Jun Feitian had actually wanted to stay as he was thinking of asking Ji Yuan to accept him as his disciple but Confidant Ur Muyuan gave him a kick as she pulled him away hastily. 

She muttered, "You are injured. You ought to tend to your injuries first…"

Soon, they had exited from the great hall.

Ji Yuan laughed, "Finally peace at last. Where did we stop just now?"

The Cardinal Patriarch had suddenly said, "I have just received a transmission from my Imperators. Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang has now confessed to be spying for the Abyssal King Gong Magog and Herald Ma Laide is the main conspirator. Not only that, we have also found another of the profound device that he had used to frame Savior Ji Yuan in his spatial ring. Also, Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang is willing to tell us the names of the other conspirators as long as we are willing to give her a lighter sentence." 

Xuan Qiaoqiao was looking weakly at Juan Xian'Er as she muttered, "I didn't know that we have so many moles that are in the Nightfall Height…"

Juan Xian'Er was also muttering with disbelief as she looked at Xuan Qiaoqiao, "He really manages to dig up the moles for us…"

Due to the political differences of the Cardinals and their offices, it was really difficult to find out which of the elders were really the moles. 

Ji Yuan had actually heard Juan Xian'Er and he was looking quite awkward; actually, he was having a hard time trying to find the moles and he even got several false leads. But the moles just come to look for him themselves…

He could only sigh to himself: Why am I so awesome, as always?
