Chapter 697 How to deal with it

Ji Xuanyuan's gaze swept across the collapsed Xuanyuan Kang and his son like a cold blade, golden light flashed on his fingertips, and his voice was as deep as thunder:

"Xuanyuan Kang! You murdered your wife for your own selfish desires and even nearly caused the overthrow of the clan. Xuanyuan Sheng aided and abetted Zhou and set a trap in the clan protection formation. The clan will not tolerate scum like you!"

The golden light suddenly turned into sharp spikes, piercing through the dantian of the two men!

"puff--!"

Xuanyuan Kang and Xuanyuan Sheng spat out blood at the same time, and the spiritual energy in their bodies dissipated like smoke.

Xuanyuan Sheng curled up on the ground and twitched, but Xuanyuan Kang stared at Ji Xuanyuan, making a hoarse sound in his throat:

"Grandfather... Rao Sheng'er..."

Ji Xuanyuan waved his sleeves indifferently, and the golden light carried the disabled man to the stone wall: "Take him to the dark prison, and wait for the new rules to be finalized before making a verdict!"

The starlight chains picked up the two of them and dragged them into the depths of darkness.

Xuanyuan Kang looked ashen, and Xuanyuan Sheng struggled desperately for mercy, but Taizu was equivalent to this small world itself. Ji Xuanyuan just waved his hand, and a ball of light sealed his mouth. The sound stopped abruptly, and the two figures disappeared into the darkness.

In the silence, Ji Xuanyuan turned around and looked at the Elders who were lying on the ground trembling with fear, and said in a cold tone:

"Five hundred years ago, I went into deep sleep in order to maintain the operation of the small world, so I arranged for the Xuanyuan clan to retreat from the world. This was not to let you be complacent and confine yourself to a small area, nor was it to indulge your selfish desires and expand your clan's power!"

"Xuanmen has always respected the strong since ancient times, and the tribes under my Ji family have always been bright and open. How could there be descendants like you who step on women's achievements to rise to the top and still be so self-righteous!"

The elders were silent as a cicada, not daring to breathe.

Ji Xuanyuan snorted coldly, and as his sleeves rolled up, several elders were bound by starlight chains:

"From today on, the Council of Elders will be dissolved, and I will personally take charge of clan affairs!"

"Master Taizu!"

The elders were horrified.

"Taizu, please think twice!"

“No!”

"It has been a custom since ancient times for the Council of Elders to manage clan affairs. It would be inappropriate to abolish it hastily!"

"I am not asking for your opinions!" Ji Xuanyuan swept a stern gaze towards the elders. The chains suddenly glowed, and the powerful pressure made them speechless.

"You all should go to the Discipline Hall to reflect on your actions first and wait for your punishment!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a teleportation formation lit up on the ground. Several elders disappeared on the spot under the gaze of the disciples.

In the silence, Ji Xuanyuan finally looked at Xuanyuan Yu and sighed slowly.

"Brother, let her go."

Qi Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand and released the imprisonment formation.

Xuanyuan Yu's whole body relaxed and she fell down, but Ji Xuanyuan raised his hand and shot out a stream of spiritual energy to hold her up. She gritted her teeth, propped herself up and stood up, looking at Ji Xuanyuan expressionlessly.

"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. Your Excellency Taizu, there is no need to pretend. I will kill you or chop you up as you please!"

Ji Xuanyuan stared at her for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"Several years ago, I used all my remaining energy to separate a bit of my spiritual consciousness and carefully trained and taught you, just to listen to your words of "I will do whatever you want"?"

Xuanyuan Yu's face paused, not knowing what he meant.

Ji Xuanyuan spoke again:

"You have been scheming for many years, isn't it because you feel aggrieved and want justice? You have come this far but you want to give up. Are you worthy of your master who died in vain? Don't you want to see all this change with your own eyes!"

Xuanyuan Yu shuddered, clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Ji Xuanyuan sighed:

"Xuanyuan Yu, you are the most talented young man I have ever seen in my life. I originally wanted you to be the next clan leader, but you made a big mistake because of your injustice and almost destroyed the foundation of the entire clan. It's a pity that you are not up to the task with such a character..."

"But I have been asleep for many years, and I need someone capable to help me manage clan affairs. Are you willing to seal your spiritual power for three years and help me manage clan affairs to make up for my mistakes?"

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes widened, with a hint of doubt in them.

Assisting in clan affairs... Although he has to seal his spiritual power for three years, it is a great opportunity to change the current situation in the clan. But can he be trusted?

"I know your concerns." Ji Xuanyuan said slowly, "You have not experienced the era when the strong were respected and the believers were revered regardless of their background, so it is understandable that you don't believe me. But the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens is here to witness this, so you should believe her, right?"

Xuanyuan Yu pursed her lips tightly, turned to look at Yun Qingqing, and saw that she was looking at her thoughtfully.

Yun Qingqing saw her looking at her, nodded slightly, then turned to Ji Xuanyuan and said:

"Correcting a wrong must be done too far, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed. The Xuanyuan clan has accumulated problems for hundreds of years. If she wants to eliminate them alone, she can seize the right to speak by controlling the spirit core. This is the best option she can choose in her situation. Although what she said is that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits, it is also true."

"I think this girl is a very capable person. If she can grow in character and develop through these three years, she will have a promising future."

Hearing her words, Xuanyuan Yu's heart trembled.

Everyone thought that she disregarded the safety of her people and wanted to destroy the spirit core to avenge the Council of Elders. Only Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu revealed her true purpose.

...And Taizu, he still wants to give himself a chance even now. Did he also see this?

She didn't know what would happen if she stayed, but the world that Taizu talked about, where the strong were respected and the faithful were worshipped... she hoped to have a chance to witness it with her own eyes.

Xuanyuan Yu took a deep breath, knelt down slowly, and said in a soft but firm voice:

"Disciple is willing to accept the punishment..."

"Master Taizu, I have objections!"

Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by another voice.

When Xuanyuan Yu heard the familiar voice, he turned his head sharply and looked to the side, only to see that the person who spoke was the Great Elder's direct disciple, Xuanyuan Zhao.

Xuanyuan Zhao was not involved in the previous secret room conspiracy, so he was not affected by the punishment of the elders. At this time, he was staring at Xuanyuan Yu with unwilling eyes and said loudly:

"Master Taizu, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Even if Xuanyuan Yu had her reasons for what she did before, she attacked the spirit core and fled after being exposed. She completely disregarded the safety of the small world that is the foundation of the entire clan. How is this behavior different from treason?"

"If even such a serious crime can be glossed over, or even punished openly but praised secretly, how can we convince the public!"

Xuanyuan Yu lowered his eyes, feeling sad.

At that moment, her years of planning came to nothing. In her rage, she only thought about not letting those people get what they wanted. She attacked the spirit core in a fit of rage, without considering the safety of innocent people in the tribe. She had no excuse.

Ji Xuanyuan stared at Xuanyuan's photo for a moment, then said in a calm voice:

"Then in your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Xuanyuan Zhao straightened his back and said righteously:

"If an elder makes a mistake, he will be punished just like a commoner. Naturally, other disciples are no exception! According to clan rules, traitors must be put to death! Or at the very least, their cultivation should be abolished and they should be expelled forever!"
