Chapter 622 Xiezhi (2/2)
Ultimate Justice (Xiezhi's natural ability)
[Effect 1 Active effect]: After activation, Xiezhi's defense ability will be greatly improved in a short period of time while being immune to various curse effects.
[Monster Description]: Xiezhi, a mystical beast that represents the law in the legends, is able to distinguish between right and wrong and know the good and evil.
In fact, the Xiezhi had a very unique existence, and it was a monster with a very stubborn character. Once it realized that the basic order of good and evil and justice in its mind had been disrupted, it would be infuriated. However, it was a very curious beast.
At the same time, the Xiezhi owned a strong ability to imitate and learn. The good and evil the standard of justice in its mind would be greatly influenced by the creatures that were proximate to it for a prolonged period of time.

Gao Peng thoughtfully looked at the attributes of the Black-scaled Xiezhi. It was also called the Renfa Beast, which was an auspicious beast in Chinese legends.
Since people thought it had the power to distinguish between right and wrong, it would often appear in places such as the Court of Justice, the court uniform, etc., that represented legal order.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
However, it was interesting to read the monster's profile. Its fairness and the definition of good and evil to the Xiezhi was greatly influenced by the creatures closest to it for a long time.
In mythological stories, it often appeared in various human legends, indicating that its fairness and good and evil were in favor of human beings. Simply put, it was a creature with no ideas and judgment. Its so-called fairness and justice were judged from the human's perspective.
The arrival of the Black-scaled Xiezhi had caused everyone to panic. This Familiar stood in the crowd with its eyes full of disdain. It sniffed left and right, as if it was an arrogant landlord patrolling its own properties.
There wasn't anyone who hadn't done a few bad things. No one could guarantee that they had never made any mistakes in their lives.
After sniffing for a while, the Black-scaled Xiezhi frowned and shook its head. Its voice was like a loud bell as it said, ”You humans still have the same stench on you. I've never seen an adult without the stench.”
The Black-scaled Xiezhi's words made everyone feel slightly awkward.
”Now, the method of testing is very simple,” the man in a black robe coldly said with his hands folded behind his back. ”Everyone will take turns coming up to the Black-scaled Xiezhi to say that they are not a traitor and didn't do anything to betray the tribe. You should leave after declaring that. Then, the Xiezhi will naturally determine if you have lied or not.”
After saying this, no one dared to raise an objection or refute him.
Gao Peng lowered his voice and asked Bai Yin, ”Who is he?”
Bai Yin answered softly with his hands covering his mouth, ”He is Mo Fo from the Black Tortoise Tribe, a Quasi God Monster Trainer.”
A Quasi God Monster Trainer. Gao Peng finally understood the reason these people were so afraid of him.
The investigation took seven hours. Everyone was examined. The traitor that conspired with the other tribe was discovered. There were actually seven people. They were all leaders of the Horn Fire Tribe. Their consequence was simple. They would become the Black-scaled Xiezhi's dinner.
Gao Peng had seen the depth of the three top tribes. There were actually many interesting matters within them aside from the Quasi God Familiars.
Even if the ability of the Black-scaled Xiezhi was used to investigate who the traitor was, it was hard to say it was invincible. Since there was Xiezhi, it was hard to guarantee that there were no Familiars that could counter Xiezhi.
After the investigation, a discussion was carried out that evening. It was a direct and completely transparent public discussion.
”The Familiars of the other tribes have fought their way here, indicating that the seal of the ancestral land is about to be broken. The time for us to return to our ancestral land has come!”
”Our ancestors have lived in the Empyrean for generations, up until the outbreak of the war with the other tribes. We were defeated. Some ancestors stayed to fight with the other tribes. The others left the Empyrean to come to the Surface Sea... They are your ancestors.”
”After the outbreak of the war, at least half of all the adult men over the age of 30 must be sent to war. They will be led by three of our major tribes, which are the Black Tortoise Tribe, White Dragon Tribe, and Green God Tribe, and joined with the Seven Kings Tribe to form the Assembly of Tribe Elders.”
”All those who fight well in the war will be rewarded. We will carry out the merits, rewards, and punishments accordingly. The materials in the Empyrean are far more abundant than those in the Squared World. There are resources everywhere. As long as we can kill our way in, all the goods we plunder from the hands of the other tribes will belong to us.”
”We have no way to back out of this war anymore. In the past, we retreated from the Empyrean to the Surface Sea. Now, we have been pushed to the edge of a cliff. If we fail, we will die. The outsiders will not let anyone of us off, including your loved ones. Do not put your faith in luck... Anyone who isn't from our tribe may have different intentions. This is a war of survival.”
