You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 315 - 66, Teleportation_3
Immediately, without saying much to the Twelfth Prince, he transformed into a streak of light and flew away.
The people present couldn't help but be startled.
No sin?
Everyone present who was a Great Cultivator could tell that the national fortune on that person's body, Duan Yue Yanluo, was also quite scarce. Having killed the Wind Monarch, a man with profound national fortune, there was no sin?
Could it be that this person had immense merit, completely neutralizing the sin?
Where there is sin, naturally, there is merit.
However, merit is intangible and invisible; even the Heavenly Punishment Department's Eye of Heaven could not see its existence.
Merit and national fortune are somewhat similar but also different.
Those in high positions who have made contributions to Great Yong naturally have the protection of national fortune.
Merit, on the other hand, is more like a contribution to the Human Clan.
Simply put, national fortune is limited to Great Yong, while merit rises to encompass the entire Human Clan.
However, now that the world is unified, the Human Clan is almost synonymous with the citizens of Great Yong, hence merit and national fortune nearly overlap.
Having killed the Wind Monarch and the successor of the Duke of Dingyuan without exposing any sin, the only possibility left for the people present was 'neutralized by merit.'
"No wonder you are so fearless."
Duke Dingyuan looked at Lin Yue with cold eyes, "Did you calculate that the Heavenly Punishment Department wouldn't intervene?"
Sin could not be concealed, but national fortune could be disguised through the likeness of all beings... Lin Yue sighed inwardly, then said, "Duke Dingyuan, even the Heavenly Punishment Department isn't interfering, do you still want to pursue this?"
"Don't worry, Duke."
The Head of the Qingtian Bureau said indifferently, "If the Heavenly Punishment Department isn't handling this, then let our Qingtian Bureau take over. Regardless of sin or merit, the fact that you killed someone should be judged by our Qingtian Bureau."
"Oh?" Lin Yue retorted, "How is it a fact? Just because many people in the Pocket World saw it? Perhaps it's an illusion created by the Star Lord using great power?"
The Head of the Qingtian Bureau frowned slightly.
This point, indeed, couldn't be confirmed, especially considering the frightening Star Lord.
At that moment, he received a Divine Thought Transmission from the Twelfth Prince, "His guilt is a fact. Since the Heavenly Punishment Department hasn't interfered, the Qingtian Bureau should judge. If you want to act, just act."
The Head of the Qingtian Bureau immediately understood.
"If that's the case, then come with me."
The Head of the Qingtian Bureau looked at Lin Yue and said, "You insist you are innocent, so let us verify it. If indeed you are innocent, we will release you."

"What if I refuse to go?" Lin Yue scoffed.
Once he entered the Qingtian Bureau's prison, with the Twelfth Prince backing him, even Duke Heng might not be able to get him out.
Then, he would have to revert to his original form, appearing as the Seventeenth Prince.
But if people confirmed that Duan Yue Yanluo was indeed the Seventeenth Prince, then trouble would arise, facing criticisms for killing a minister's son and the Purple Cloud Envoy, and even more so if suspicion arose that he was a reincarnation of Xiahou Shou.
Moreover, if he was not the prince, his fate would likely be no less than death.
"Not going? Then we must insist."
The Head of the Qingtian Bureau watched Lin Yue, "So, will you voluntarily come with me to the Qingtian Bureau, or must I compel you?"
Just at that moment, a divine thought containing a chill suddenly entered Lin Yue's mind from far away—
"If you want my help, I can save you and help you escape, just consider it returning your favor."
Lin Yue was slightly startled but quickly realized it was the Second Princess's Divine Thought Transmission.
The Second Princess was indeed extraordinary to have discerned that he was the Seventeenth Prince disguised through the likeness of all beings.
But that was normal, given that she was the Ancestor of Illusion Demon.
"No need, thank you for your kind intention, Second Princess."
Lin Yue immediately responded, "This minor trouble, I can handle myself."
Immediately, he infused Primordial Power into the silver disk always hidden in his hand, quietly beginning to activate the array within.
"Capture him immediately!"
The Twelfth Prince seemed to sense something but couldn't make a move himself, so he transmitted his thoughts to the Head of the Jingtian Bureau.
"Boom!"
The Power of Heaven and Earth surged like a tidal wave. The Head of the Jingtian Bureau reached out with a grasping motion, and immediately, Essence coalesced into a gigantic palm in mid-air, promptly grasping at Lin Yue!
"Trying to catch me?"
Lin Yue suddenly burst into laughter, his voice full of mockery, "Dream on!"
The Qiankun Inverted Mother-Child Array set up by Bi Xu Yungun... had been completed a month ago.
In the next instant, the silver disk in his hand abruptly burst forth with dazzling light, followed by a wave of spatial fluctuation that enveloped his body.
In an instant, under the watchful eyes, Lin Yue was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh?"
For a moment, everyone present was taken aback.
"Gone?"
