This is the rule.
"Thus..."
Lin Yue calmly looked at the three people kneeling below and pronounced, "Weichi Wen is sentenced to a hundred and sixty years in prison, Qin Yao to a hundred and twenty years. Both can offset their imprisonment with merits from Dawn Platform, where one hundred Big Merits can offset one year. As for Chu Fenglin, this palace sentences you to exile in Eternal Night."
The three individuals' faces turned pale instantly, especially the young man Chu Fenglin, who was deathly pale as he stared fixedly at Lin Yue.
If not for Lin Yue's high status and authority, and the fact that this was a trial, he probably would have wanted to jump up and curse vehemently.
A century of imprisonment was already quite excessive, and by the rules, it took a hundred Big Merits to offset just one year. Even Great Cultivators generally struggled to amass thousands of Big Merits.
And exile to Eternal Night was considered the harshest of punishments!
