Chapter 572 - Chapter 323: Fairness, Justice, Power of Law [Sorry, there's only one update tonight]_2

"In presumption of innocence, it is just the same," said Wang Qi. "Presumption of innocence embodies the concept of 'favoring the defendant,' and since the Immortal Alliance Law is designed to govern cultivators, naturally the defendants can only be cultivators. Every cultivator is a part of the institution of the Immortal Alliance, capable of producing functions within this system that they inherently do not possess. Therefore, except for those few cultivators who have a detrimental impact, the Immortal Alliance generally does not impose the death penalty, instead focusing on reformation and influence. Even if the victim forgives and compensation is provided, incarceration and a public apology are still necessary."
