Sima Yunxiao's voice trembled slightly. He was tightly grasped by the golden hand and felt unprecedented fear and despair at this moment.

He knew very well that if he offended the inspector of Shenxuan Palace, the entire Yeyin Sect would face a devastating disaster.

Lin Han smiled lightly, and the golden hand slowly loosened. Sima Yunxiao collapsed to the ground like mud, gasping for breath.

"How is it possible that he is the Inspector of the Divine Mysterious Palace?"

Dongfang Shiyu was horrified. She had originally been planning to take advantage of Lin Han Yuanyang, but now it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, completely extinguishing her thoughts.

Sima Tian's face turned pale, his legs weak, and he could barely stand. He was filled with regret, wondering why he had offended such a powerful figure.

Lin Han slowly walked up to Sima Tian, ​​his eyes like torches, his voice low and powerful: "Sima Tian, ​​do you admit your guilt?"

"Inspector Lin, I wonder what Tian'er has done wrong that requires you to come in person?" Sima Yunxiao recovered and walked quickly to Sima Tian's side. He was a little confused and bowed quickly to ask.

Lin Han sneered, his gaze sharp as a knife as he stared directly at Sima Yunxiao. "Your son, along with Lihuo Sect's Young Master Ouyang Xing and Mad Blade Sect's Young Master Tuoba Feng, murdered innocent villagers, including Ye Xiu's family. Are you aware of this?"

Sima Yunxiao's face suddenly changed. He had never expected that Lin Han had come this time for this matter. He hurriedly explained, "Inspector Lin, there must be a misunderstanding. Tian'er may be naughty, but he would never do such a heinous thing!"

Lin Han snorted coldly and ignored Sima Yunxiao. Instead, he looked at Ye Xiu: "Ye Xiu, you go ahead."

Ye Xiu stepped forward and recounted in detail what had happened that day when the village was attacked and his family was brutally murdered. His words were sincere and his emotions were genuine.

After hearing Ye Xiu's narration, everyone present was shocked. They didn't expect that Sima Tian had actually committed such a heinous crime.

Sima Yunxiao's face turned pale, and he looked at Sima Tian with eyes filled with anger and disappointment. He had never expected that his son would do such a cruel thing.

"Tian'er, you... you really did these things?" Sima Yunxiao's voice trembled. He expected Sima Tian to give a negative answer.

However, Sima Tian simply lowered his head and remained silent. His silence was undoubtedly a tacit acceptance of the facts stated by Ye Xiu.

Seeing this, Lin Han curled up the corner of his mouth with a sneer: "Sima Yunxiao, the facts are in front of you, what else do you have to say?"

Sima Yunxiao opened his mouth, but no words came out. He knew that no matter how he tried to defend himself, he couldn't change the facts. He looked at Lin Han, his eyes filled with pleading, "Inspector Lin, Tian'er is young and ignorant, and he committed such a heinous crime in the heat of the moment. But could you please do me a favor and only abolish Tian'er's cultivation and spare his life? I'm willing to exchange ten years of Yeyin Sect's cultivation resources for this."

"Huh, how much is your face worth?"

Lin Han sternly rejected the suggestion, his gaze unwavering. "After committing such a heinous act, you still expect to save your life with a mere cultivation resource? If the rules of the Divine Mysterious Palace can be so easily broken, how can there be any justice in this world?"

"I give you two choices. First, let me cripple your son and then let Ye Xiu execute him. Second, the entire Yeyin Sect completely disappears from the Southern Territory."

Upon hearing this, Sima Yunxiao's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his whole body was shaking as if he had been struck by lightning.

He knew very well that Lin Han's words were no empty words. The reputation of Shenxuan Palace was well-known throughout the world of immortal cultivation, and its rules were unshakable.

He turned to look at Sima Tian, ​​his eyes full of complexity and despair.

Sima Tian also realized the seriousness of the situation at this moment. He looked up at his father, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.

"Father, save me..." Sima Tian's voice trembled and he almost cried out.

Sima Yunxiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if making a difficult decision.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Tian'er, I'm sorry! This matter started because of you. As a father, I can't let the entire Yeyin Sect be destroyed because of you, so... you still have to pay the price for your actions." Sima Yunxiao's voice was low and heavy, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.

Then, he turned to Lin Han, bowed, and said with a hint of determination: "Inspector Lin, I choose the first one."

"Very good, Sect Master Sima is quite wise." Lin Han's mouth curled up slightly.

Hearing his father's decision, Sima Tian was struck by lightning. He widened his eyes in disbelief. He never expected that his father would make such a choice. His heart was filled with despair and anger.

"Father, how can you treat me like this! I am your biological son!" Sima Tian roared, his voice full of unwillingness and resentment.

Sima Yunxiao's body trembled slightly, but he did not turn around. He just said in a trembling voice: "Tian'er, this is the result of your own actions. You must bear the consequences. Your father has done his best."

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Shiyu, who was standing aside, cursed in her heart: Damn it! The fat sheep that was about to be eaten flew away just like that!

She had originally planned to use Sima Tian to improve her own cultivation, but now it seems that this plan has completely failed.

"Father, let's go. It's a bit messy here." Dongfang Shiyu maintained her shy and gentle appearance, gently pulled Dongfang Yi's sleeve, and whispered.

Dongfang Yi took a deep look at the Sima father and son, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and finally turned into a sigh and nodded.

"Shiyu, let's go back." Dongfang Yi said in a gentle tone.

Dongfang Shiyu nodded obediently, turned around with her father, and prepared to leave this place full of right and wrong.

However, just as they were about to take a step forward, Lin Han's voice suddenly rang out, with a hint of amusement: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why not finish watching this great show first?"

Dongfang Shiyu paused, her heart skipping a beat. She forced herself to remain calm, turned around, and looked at Lin Han with her signature shy smile: "Inspector Lin, I have nothing to do with this matter."

Lin Han smiled faintly, his eyes penetrating, as if he could see into people's hearts. "Ms. Dongfang, don't be impatient. I know you have nothing to do with Sima Tian's affairs, but since you're here, why not watch this 'wonderful' show before leaving? Who knows, you might learn something from it."

Dongfang Yi frowned slightly. He felt the deep meaning in Lin Han's words, but he couldn't guess the true intention of the inspector of Shenxuan Palace.

He gently patted Dongfang Shiyu's shoulder, signaling her to calm down. Then he stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Inspector Lin, I am young and ignorant. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you. Since you have spoken, we will naturally obey."
