Chapter 1511 What If He's Not An Outsider?
Everyone looked at the entrance in surprise.
A tall figure strode in. It was Prince Lekas, whom Chu Nan had not seen for a long time.
President Anduin narrowed his eyes and frowned as he looked at Prince Lekas who had strode to Chu Nan\'s side. He said in a low voice, "Lekas, what do you have to say? Now that all the evidence is complete, the council has already determined that it\'s true that Pamela privately imparted the Exterminating Heart Technique to Chu Nan and has made a huge mistake. There\'s no pardon. Could it be that you still want to overturn the verdict of the council?"
Prince Lekas smiled and first threw Chu Nan a reassuring gaze. Just as Chu Nan thought that he would take out some powerful evidence to prove that he did not secretly learn the Exterminating Heart Technique, he turned to President Anduin and shook his head, "No, I have no objections to the council\'s verdict."
Everyone, including Chu Nan and Pamela, was stunned.
If you have no objections to the judgment result, why did you come out to say that you have a problem?
President Anduin\'s expression immediately sank. "Then what do you have to say? Could it be that you want to publicly doubt the Elder Council?"
"No, I\'m very respectful to the elders, let alone have any objections to the trial of the Elder Council. However… my opinion of Chu Nan\'s handling is slightly different."
"Oh?" President Anduin dragged his voice and looked at Lekas deeply. He pointed at Chu Nan and said, "Since this outsider kid has already confirmed that he has secretly learned the Exterminating Heart Technique, according to the clan rules, he can only die. This judgment involves the rules of our race for more than ten thousand years and the foundation of our race. It\'s impossible to change anything. Could it be that you still want us to spare his life?"
"No, President Anduin, you\'ve misunderstood. I naturally don\'t dare to have any objections to the rules that have been passed down in our race for more than ten thousand years. However, before that, please give me some time and allow me to tell some facts. Although Chu Nan is an outsider, he has helped me a lot in this Garden Hunting Assembly and the Endless Abyss after that and has made a lot of contributions to our race. For example…"
Prince Lekas raised his voice and described in detail the part where Chu Nan helped him save the lost descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire in the Endless Abyss. In it, he even emphasized that it was with Chu Nan\'s help that he had successfully escaped from the pursuit of Pope Lockmarton and the others and relied on this to forcefully sign an agreement with him to successfully bring back those lost descendants of the royal family.
"It can be said that Chu Nan saved my life and the lives of the 13 descendants of our race who were lost at that time. Be it me or our Declan royal family, it can be said to have made an important contribution. I want to ask the elders and the surrounding clansmen to give him a more fair judgment."
After Prince Lekas finished speaking, he bowed slightly to President Anduin and waited calmly.
The other Declan royal families sitting quietly around the hall immediately whispered. Many people pointed at Chu Nan in the center of the hall and chatted softly. For a moment, it buzzed.
In fact, before they participated in this trial, they had only heard some rumors about Chu Nan, a kid from the Earth Federation. Before this, they only knew that he had performed well in the Garden Hunting Assembly and had even entered the Endless Abyss and fought side by side with Prince Lekas.
Everyone knew more about him and knew that it was very likely that he had secretly learned the Exterminating Heart Technique from a member of the royal family. However, they were very curious that the Elder Council would actually publicly judge him and not directly choose to pursue and execute him. Therefore, they gathered so many Declan royal family members for a rare hearing.
However, now that they heard Prince Lekas say this, everyone immediately discovered that their understanding of Chu Nan was far from enough.
This young kid actually had the ability to help Prince Lekas so much!
It was even as Prince Lekas had said. He had saved his life!
Otherwise, with the posture of Pope Lockmarton leading several Star-Grade Martial Artists to pursue Prince Lekas at that time, even if his strength was outstanding, he would probably be dead.
Moreover, he had directly helped the 13 descendants of the royal family return safely. One had to know that those 13 descendants of the royal family were all outstanding descendants who could successfully pass the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly and have the ability to enter the depths of the Endless Abyss. Losing any one of them was a huge loss to the Declan royal family. It was definitely a huge credit to bring the 13 of them back safely.
Since he had made such a great contribution, wouldn\'t it seem too heartless to execute him?
Hearing the so-called "whispers" of the surrounding royal family who did not hide much, President Anduin\'s expression sank.
He looked at Prince Lekas with a deep gaze, but he still maintained his smile. His eyes looked straight at President Anduin without backing down.
After a long time, President Anduin slowly raised his right hand. The whispers in the hall slowly disappeared, and everyone\'s gazes landed on him again.
As members of the Declan royal family, they knew very well that President Anduin had been the president of the royal Elder Council for more than 30 years. His prestige in the Elder Council was invincible, and his prestige in the clan was even top-notch. As long as he decided on something, almost no one could change it.
In the end, it still depended on President Anduin\'s judgment to determine Chu Nan\'s life and death.
After the hall fell silent, President Anduin turned to look at Chu Nan.
To his surprise, he did not see any obvious emotions on Chu Nan\'s face.
This kid\'s expression did not change when he announced his execution just now. Now that he heard Prince Lekas speak for a long time and the surrounding crowd discuss, his expression still did not change, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
President Anduin sighed softly in his mind.
This kid from the Earth Federation was indeed extremely outstanding. How good would it be if he was a young martial artist of the Declan Empire or even a member of the royal family?
Unfortunately, he was from the Earth Federation…
"Lekas…" President Anduin turned to look at Prince Lekas, "I admit what you said. Chu Nan has helped our race a lot and made a lot of contributions. According to our race\'s tradition, we should give him an extremely high gift to thank him. However…"
President Anduin\'s voice suddenly rose, and his eyes instantly became serious.
"His current crime is to secretly learn the Exterminating Heart Technique! Don\'t tell me you don\'t know how important the Exterminating Heart Technique is to our Declan royal family. This is the core of our race. No outsider is allowed to secretly learn it! Once the cultivation method is leaked, you should know very well how catastrophic the consequences will be for our race! Therefore, this crime is unforgivable. No matter how great his contribution to our race is, it can\'t offset the huge crime he committed!"
At this point, President Anduin slapped the table again and raised his voice again before saying sternly, "I announce! Chu Nan will be sentenced to death! Immediate execution! No one is to have any objections!"
As soon as President Anduin\'s words landed, the surrounding royal family of Declan immediately sighed in their hearts.
Everyone looked at Chu Nan with pity.
It was really a pity that such an outstanding young man, who had made such a great contribution to the royal family of Declan, had no choice but to be killed because of a mistake.
"Wait!" Prince Lekas suddenly spoke again.
President Anduin\'s eyes narrowed as he glared at Prince Lekas.
"Lekas! I\'ve already said that no one can have any objections to the result of Chu Nan\'s trial. What else do you want to say? Could it be that you want to force me to deal with you too?"
As soon as he said this, the surrounding Declan royal family was immediately shocked.
Prince Lekas was the prince closest to His Majesty Gremayne in the royal family of the empire. His status and strength were only inferior to His Majesty, but the Elder Council had supreme authority in the royal family. If the Elder Council punished Prince Lekas because of this, it would definitely cause a huge commotion in the royal family or even the empire. The impact would definitely not be small.
"No, you\'ve misunderstood." Prince Lekas still had a smile on his face, "I\'ve said it before. I have no objections to the results of Chu Nan\'s trial. However… President Anduin and the elders, you seem to have forgotten something very important. All the trials of your team\'s Chu Nan are built on the foundation that he\'s an outsider of the royal family. Because he\'s an outsider, he should be executed for secretly learning the Exterminating Heart Technique to prevent his cultivation method from being leaked. However… what if he\'s not an outsider?"
