Chapter 1097

Zhu Cangyan was the first to receive the news and rushed to the Enforcement Hall.

"Shi Yao this idiot, he couldn't even handle such a small matter properly."

Zhu Cangyan was extremely frustrated.

Shi Yao usually looked smart but he failed at such a crucial moment.

However, Zhu Cangyan wasn't worried. This was the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest and the Enforcement Hall was on their side. Nothing big would happen.

It was just that the plan to deal with Chen Yu had failed. The other party would definitely be on their guard and it would be even harder to succeed next time.

Just as he arrived at the Enforcement Hall, Zhu Cangyan heard Shi Yao wailing, "I'm innocent, Elder, this is a huge injustice. I didn't do it!"

"This kid isn't stupid after all. He would rather die than admit it."

Zhu Cangyan thought in his heart.

Moreover, these cries of injustice were heart-wrenching and tearful. It was as if he had suffered a huge injustice.

One had to admit that Shi Yao's acting skills were not bad.

Zhu Cangyan walked into the hall and saw Shi Yao's pitiful state. The blame in his heart lessened.

Chen Yu was too ruthless.

"Chen Yu, why did you injure my subordinate? Injuring a disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest for no reason, do you know your crime? "

Zhu Cangyan shouted in anger.

"Senior Cang Yan, save me. Chen Yu has wronged me."

Shi Yao looked at Zhu Cangyan and grabbed onto this life-saving straw.

Shi Yao was really frightened by Chen Yu.

Stealing spiritual herbs was a serious crime but Chen Yu said that he stole 05 stalks of Three Star Blood Flame Grass, 05 stalks of Earth Fire Herb and 65 stalks of Scarlet Cloud Bamboo.

The total value of this batch of herbs was millions of high grade elemental stones. If he really did it according to the rules, the punishment would be frightening.

Zhu Cangyan looked at Shi Yao's vivid acting and felt a little impressed.

It was too professional. His voice was full of emotions and tears were coming out.

"Great, Chen Yu. Not only did you injure my subordinate, you even wronged him. You are too daring. This is the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest, not Celestial Sect."

Zhu Cangyan continued to berate and accuse Chen Yu of a crime.

If it was any other human disciple, they would definitely be frightened. After all, this was a foreign demon race and Zhu Cangyan's background was not simple.

Chen Yu was not afraid at all. He had the backing of the Celestial Sect's Sect Leader. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward and said, "Zhu Cangyan, this is the Vermillion Bird Law Enforcement Hall, not your home. The moment you arrived, you created a ruckus. Do you have any respect for the Law Enforcement Hall or the Law Enforcement Elders? Or could it be that you have the final say in the Law Enforcement Hall? "

Zhu Cangyan was stunned by the series of words he had just heard.

If he continued to make a ruckus, wouldn't he be looking down on the Enforcement Elder?

Although his grandfather was strong, he did not have the ability to ignore the Law Enforcement Elder.

Moreover, the Law Enforcement Elder's opinion was very important in this matter. If the Law Enforcement Elder did not help him, then he would be finished.

Therefore, Zhu Cangyan shut up.

When the Disciplinary Elder saw Zhu Cangyan, he roughly understood what was going on.

Zhu Cangyan must have wanted to deal with Chen Yu, but his subordinates were too stupid and got captured by Chen Yu instead.

On one side was Chen Yu, and on the other side was Zhu Cangyan. It was obvious who he should help.

"Chen Yu, you said that Shi Yao stole 05 stalks of Three Star Blood Blaze Grass, 05 stalks of Hellfire Ganoderma and 65 stalks of Scarlet Cloud Bamboos. Do you have any concrete evidence? This is not a small crime. If it is proven that you have wronged Shi Yao, you will be punished severely. "

The red-faced elder frowned and his eyes shone with a murderous light. His face alone was enough to scare a child to tears.

When Zhu Cangyan heard this, he was stunned.

05 stalks of Three Star Blood Blaze Grass, 05 stalks of Hellfire Ganoderma and 65 stalks of Scarlet Cloud Bamboos?

Didn't he tell Shi Yao to just steal a few stalks of spiritual herbs? Why did this bastard steal so many?

Could it be that Shi Yao wanted to make use of this opportunity to fish for benefits? Wasn't this a little too ruthless?

Zhu Cangyan re-evaluated Shi Yao and felt that he had to be careful of this person in the future.

"Of course I have the evidence."

Chen Yu did not panic, but he was laughing in his heart.

After coming to the Vermillion Bird Sky Nest for half a year, he had suffered many grievances. Working in the spiritual herbs garden, he could not fish for benefits even if he wanted to.

But Shi Yao's appearance had given him a chance.

Since this guy dared to steal spiritual herbs to frame him, then he would not be polite and frame him as well.

After bringing Shi Yao to the Enforcement Hall, he quietly gathered a large amount of spiritual herbs and hid in the faint silver crystal space when the other party was not paying attention.

"This subordinate has been working hard in the spiritual herb garden. All the odd-job workers can testify to this."

"But recently, the spiritual herbs in the spiritual herb garden have been decreasing. It was only when this subordinate caught Shi Yao that I realized that it was all his doing."

"As for the evidence, Shi Yao's storage bag definitely has some newly dug out treasures. There is also this cloak that can conceal one's body, which is the tool he used to commit the crime."

Chen Yu took out the Star Concealment Robe.

The red-faced elder frowned slightly. This evidence was a little too sufficient, so it was not convenient for him to help Zhu Cangyan.

Just as he was thinking, Chen Yu snatched away Shi Yao's storage bag and displayed the newly dug out Hellfire Ganoderma in front of everyone.

Appearing in the spiritual herb garden in the middle of the night with a treasure that could conceal one's body, and there were stolen goods in his storage bag.

The evidence was conclusive, and he was caught red-handed!

The Enforcement Hall instantly fell into silence. The Enforcement Team also lowered their heads, waiting for the Enforcement Elder's verdict.

"Shi Yao, do you have anything to say?"

The red-faced elder asked in a deep voice.

"I'm innocent. Those Hellfire Ganoderma were planted by Chen Yu."

Shi Yao refused to admit it.

If it was only a few Hellfire Ganoderma, he would admit it. But the crime that Chen Yu had given him was too heavy, and he did not dare to admit it.

"Chen Yu, Shi Yao said that after you caught him, you stuffed the Hellfire Ganoderma into his storage bag and deliberately planted it. Do you have anything to say?"

The red-faced elder spoke. He was obviously on Zhu Cangyan's side.

"Planted? Shi Yao, let me ask you, why did you sneak into the spiritual herb garden in the middle of the night? You said that you were here to meet a friend. I wonder which one of the odd-job workers is your friend? "

Chen Yu did not want to explain, or he would be in a passive position.

Odd-Job workers had low statuses, and Shi Yao was a newly promoted genius disciple. How could he be friends with odd-job workers?

"Also, what's with this token?"

Chen Yu took out a red token from Shi Yao's storage bag and said, "This is a token that only the stewards of the spiritual herb garden have. I also have one here. Where did you get it from?"

His two questions directly attacked Shi Yao's mind, and he once again took the initiative.

"Enforcement Elder, this token should only be owned by the elders of the Sect Affairs Hall. Why don't we go and ask them what's with this token?"

The moment Chen Yu said this, Zhu Cangyan and Shi Yao both fell silent.

This token was something that Zhu Cangyan had gotten from Elder Wu of the Sect Affairs Hall. It allowed Shi Yao to sneak into the spiritual herb garden silently.

Back then, he had never thought that he would fail, so he did not consider the impact of this token if he failed.

This token was only owned by the stewards and elders of the spiritual herb garden. Why would it appear in Shi Yao's hands?

If the Elder of the General Affairs Hall had casually given it to him, he would also be responsible.

Soon, he contacted Elder Wu of the Sect Affairs Hall. When the other party learned that Shi Yao had been captured by Chen Yu and that he had been charged with more than a hundred spiritual herbs, Elder Wu immediately distanced himself and said, "I did not give him this token. Perhaps he stole it from the General Affairs Hall."

Elders cared a lot about their reputation. If something fell into the hands of their enemies, their position might be snatched away.

"Sigh."

Zhu Cangyan sighed. He was at his wit's end.

Unless Elder Wu admitted that he had abused his power and given the token to Shi Yao, there was nothing he could do.

"Stealing the token and spiritual herbs from the spiritual herb garden. May I ask, Enforcement Elder, what should Shi Yao be charged with?"

Chen Yu smiled faintly and asked the red-faced elder, 'forcing' him to give a conclusion.

Shi Yao kept asking Zhu Cangyan for help, and the two secretly transmitted their voices. Zhu Cangyan learned that the charge of stealing the spiritual herbs was made up by Chen Yu.

"Is that true?"

Zhu Cangyan asked.

In that case, the charge of stealing more than a hundred spiritual herbs was made up by Chen Yu and he wanted to take the opportunity to embezzle the spiritual herbs.

"Enforcement Elder, this disciple admits to the crime of theft, but I only stole a few Earth Ganoderma. Everything was Chen Yu's fault."

Shi Yao spoke according to Zhu Cangyan's instructions.

"Men, go to the spiritual herb garden and investigate this matter!"

The red-faced elder ordered.

Before long, the Enforcement Team returned and confirmed that more than a hundred spiritual herbs were indeed missing from the spiritual herb garden.

"I-Impossible!"

Shi Yao was scared out of his wits and trembled. How could the spiritual herb garden suddenly be missing more than a hundred spiritual herbs?

"Sir, it must be Chen Yu. Chen Yu pocketed more than a hundred spiritual herbs and pinned the crime on me."

Shi Yao hollered.

The red-faced elder frowned slightly and was a little impatient. However, on account of Zhu Cangyan, he ordered, "Men, check Chen Yu's storage space."

Chen Yu smiled and did not resist, allowing the other party to check and prove his innocence.

"No … that's … possible!"

Shi Yao was stunned and his mind went blank.

He could not figure out where those hundred or so precious herbs went.

Naturally, Chen Yu wouldn't tell him that these 655 or so precious materials were stored in the space inside his heart.

The red-faced elder said in a dignified manner, "Our disciple, Shi Yao, stole the token and spiritual herbs of the spiritual herb garden. This is a serious crime and should be executed. However, on account of Shi Yao's sincere repentance, he will be imprisoned in the Frost Hell for a hundred years."

Sincere repentance? Chen Yu really wanted to ask the red-faced elder how he could tell.

However, he couldn't be bothered to argue. He didn't care about Shi Yao's life or death at all. If he forced the Vermilion Bird Sacred Race too hard, it wouldn't benefit him either.

"Chen Yu, where's the Star Concealment Robe?"

Zhu Cangyan asked with a dark expression.

That was a treasure bestowed by his grandfather. If not for the fact that Shi Yao had to complete the mission successfully, he would never lend it to someone else.

"What Star Concealment Robe?"

Chen Yu asked instead.

"You know the answer!" Zhu Cangyan gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress his anger.

"Oh, are you referring to this robe, Senior Brother Zhu? This is the spoil of war I obtained after defeating the sinner, Shi Yao. This treasure has unique effects and extraordinary quality. It's definitely not something that Shi Yao can possess. I suspect that there's someone behind Shi Yao. "

"May I know why Senior Brother Zhu is suddenly asking about this robe? Does Senior Brother Zhu know who this Star Concealment Robe belongs to? "

Chen Yu teased.

He knew that Zhu Cangyan was the mastermind and the Star Concealment Robe belonged to the other party. However, would Zhu Cangyan dare to take it?

Zhu Cangyan stood on the spot with a dark expression and did not speak.

The moment he admitted that the Star Concealment Robe belonged to him, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was the mastermind!

"That bastard."

Green veins popped on Zhu Cangyan's forehead and his eyes were bloodshot with smoke rising from the top of his head.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

With a smirk on his face, Chen Yu strode out of the Disciplinary Hall.

"Chen Yu, how dare you snatch my Star Concealment Robe! You're courting death!"

After Chen Yu left, Zhu Cangyan cursed coldly.

He had suffered a huge loss this time round. At the same time, Zhu Cangyan was enraged and his hatred towards Chen Yu was torrential!
