Bab 442: Chapter 342 The Curtain Rises_2

"There's actually such a heavenly decree?"

Zhou Yi listened with his eyes wide and his mouth agape. This wasn't a feigned expression, but genuine shock. He had read the previous edition of the heavenly decrees a hundred years ago and this clause was not included.

"In order to govern Shen Zhou better and for the safety of countless beings, the Heavenly Court specifically set this decree."

The Taoist said as if it were only natural, "For example, if this mountain belonged privately to the Mysterious Primordial Sect, could others rob it? Now, as it is land owned by the Heavenly Court and entrusted to the Mysterious Primordial Sect, who would dare to defy the heavenly decree and seize it?"

"You make it sound so reasonable, I have no objections!"

Zhou Yi's mouth twitched, thinking he had already cast aside all shame uncommon to common folk, yet he was nothing compared to the Heavenly Court. At least when he seized someone else's land, he didn't claim it was for their own good.
