Don't Interrupt My Immortal Cultivation

The crowd at the scene receded like a tide, leaving only the elders, the governor, and the officials of the council.

The council is a special institution with privileges in impeachment audits and inspections. Its councilors do not need to leave the meeting unless the highest councilor speaks.

Of course, this is only in theory.

However, the four elders had no intention of breaking the convention. They would not easily disrupt any of the empire's established laws or conventions. Maintaining the stability of this system is their fundamental duty, an instinct that transcends factional conflicts.

Because they themselves are the biggest beneficiaries of this system.

No one spoke, and the venue fell into an eerie silence. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something, only Lin Wen was clueless.

At least twenty minutes later, the big screen behind the elders lit up.

The screen showed a gorgeous and huge hall, mainly in white and gold, decorated with crystals. The skylight of the dome was the only light source. The light fell from the sky, refracted and diffused in the hall, making the venue look like a fairyland.

But then, a big-nosed man with a face full of pimples occupied the screen. He was very short, extremely ugly, but dressed extraordinarily splendid.

He bowed elegantly, his movements frivolous and false, like a little demon who had broken into the fairy palace, dressed up and posturing, pretending to be elegant.

"Dear elders, hello, Speaker He Gao reporting, the parliament on Capitol Hill has responded to the impeachment order and urgently convened all senior parliamentarians, none of whom are absent."

"We are loyally waiting for the emergency impeachment meeting to begin. We will faithfully perform our duties, judge without interference from anyone, give equal rights to the poor and the rich, faithfully and justly perform all duties in accordance with the laws of the empire, and make a true judgment based on the law and evidence."

"May the soul of the empire bless me!"

The last sentence was a neat voice, then Big Nose He and a group of senior parliamentarians took their seats.

Lin Wen counted, exactly fifty people, thinking: "Are they here to accompany the trial?"

He tried to open the "Aura Observation", but obviously, the video signal could not replace the real person.

He glanced at Yu Zhongxian again, this thin and dry old man was unsurprisingly all black, his aura collapsed inward, like a black hole, very shocking.

He thought: "If I can't pass the test later, I'll kill him first."

"Governor Yu, submit your impeachment proposal."

An elder spoke.

Yu Zhongxian slightly bowed, a council official respectfully handed up the impeachment proposal, and then went to the podium.

Since the impeachment meeting is voted on by the governor, elders, and senior parliamentarians on Capitol Hill, the podium has been moved to the bottom, facing everyone.

"Supreme Council, impeachment of Sheriff Lin Wen of Changshan County for suspected collusion with a large drug trafficking group, jointly engaging in drug trafficking, abduction of women and children, enslavement of citizens, illegal organ trafficking, intentional murder, robbery and other heinous acts."

"His actions have constituted dereliction of duty, abuse of power, illegal collusion..."

The official of the council read a long list of crimes, at least a dozen death-deserving adjectives, Lin Wen didn't pay attention, only thinking: "How did they know?"

After the council official finished his statement, the elder turned his head.

"Lin Wen, do you have anything to say before the impeachment begins?"

Lin Wen blurted out: "How did you know?"

As soon as his words fell, everyone looked over, and Yu Zhongxian laughed: "Are you pleading guilty?"

"Do you have a brain?"

Lin Wen gave him a cold look and retorted.

"I'm questioning how you could possibly know so clearly. Is it because you often do these things, and when you can't find a reason to frame me, you take out the things you've done and plant them on me?"

Yu Zhongxian's smile disappeared immediately, of course, these words posed no threat to him.

However, since he became the highest councilor, no one has dared to speak to him like this, even the elders of the empire speak to him with equal courtesy.

A mere sheriff dared to speak wildly in front of him.

This level of official, at the banquet in the Winter Palace, couldn't even raise his head to face his majesty.

And this kid, not only spoke wildly, but also dared to look him in the eye, and there was no awe in his eyes, only cold contempt, as if he was looking at a dead man.

Yu Zhongxian immediately decided that when this ignorant little beast fell into his hands, he would first gouge out his eyes, then cut off his tongue, pour concentrated sulfuric acid into his wounds, and let him roll in the mud full of feces and snakes and rats.

"Hmph."

He just sneered and turned his head away, ignoring him.

The four elders acted as if nothing had happened. Since Yu Zhongxian arrived, they seemed to have become statues, showing no expression at all.

But the impeachment did not start immediately, and the councilor immediately read the second impeachment proposal.

"The Supreme Council, along with the impeachment of the Governor of East Qin Prefecture, Sheng Huaixuan, is suspected of shielding the Sheriff of Changshan County, Lin Wen, indulging his evil deeds, colluding with the notorious organization, the Workers' Party, and conspiring with the rebels of the Empire, attempting to commit treason!"

In the meeting room, it was as if an invisible mental bomb had exploded.

Everyone's face turned pale, and even a riot broke out in the video footage of the Congress on Capitol Hill. It took several hard hits with the gavel by the big-nosed man to barely restore order.

The four elders, although still expressionless, had eyes filled with anger.

They all focused their gaze on Yu Zhongxian, who simply smiled and said, "Sheng Huaixuan is Lin Wen's protector, this is an impeachment by association."

Even though everyone knew this was not the case, no one spoke up.

This was the rule of the Empire, even though it was being abused by Yu Zhongxian, it was still the rule.

Yu Zhongxian knew very well that half of the elders of the Supreme Elder Council had arrived. As long as all four elders agreed, half of the elder votes would be reached, and they would have the right to use the elder's privilege to postpone the impeachment order.

If he directly proposed to impeach Sheng Huaixuan, based on the national policy of maintaining stability, it would certainly not be allowed by the four elders.

Therefore, he had to first impeach Lin Wen, and then impeach Sheng Huaixuan for the crime of shielding.

This was a cunning method, although he would inevitably face the wrath of the four elders afterwards, Yu Zhongxian was not afraid.

Because behind his Law Party, there were also two elders.

This matter itself was instigated by the two elders.

Yu Zhongxian revealed a smile that no one noticed. No one could have expected, nor could they have possibly expected.

From the beginning, this was going to be a divine battle between the elders.

He was merely the general leading the charge.

The goal was to tear a hole in the stable divine authority, allowing a new god to ascend.

The sacrifice was Sheng Huaixuan.

And the tool to initiate the sacrificial ceremony was that ignorant little beast.

It was a pity that he hadn't managed to kill him earlier, otherwise there would have been a better entry point - the abuse of power.

But it didn't matter, his fate was already sealed.

Even if Sheng Huaixuan could escape, he would be severely injured.

A wounded lion had no way to survive in the Empire, his fate was to be torn apart by countless hyenas, divided and devoured.

At that time, they would initiate the final plan.

The structure of the Empire's upper echelons would undergo an unprecedented change.
