The moment Chao Yan asked the head of the Discipline Hall to suppress her, Xie Jiuniang's face finally changed color.

not good!

She fell into a trap! The target that the person behind the scenes wanted to plot against was not her from the beginning? It was her master Chao Yan!

The head of the Discipline Hall wore a demon mask, his eyes were cold, like a puppet without emotions, "Chao Yan, you have violated the sect rules, you will be punished with thirty lashes and serve for ten years."

Chao Yan opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but in the end he thought of the almost strict sect rules and did not say anything.

It was indeed him who beat someone in the sect, and also he destroyed a wall of the Discipline Hall. Whether it was intentional or not, it was a provocation to the authority of the Discipline Hall.

Xie Jiuniang's heart tightened, she pursed her lips and stood up, "Master, my master took action because I, his disciple, was almost killed. I am willing to take the punishment on behalf of my master."

“Nonsense!”

Chao Yan stopped her, "This has nothing to do with you."

"Master!" Xie Jiuniang was anxious.

Chao Yan raised his hand to silence Xie Jiuniang and was willing to accept the punishment.

Before he made his move, he had expected to be punished, but unfortunately he failed to completely destroy Wang Zhen's cultivation and only seriously injured him.

As the incarnation of a deity, the hall master wore a mask and a long, ink-colored robe with dark patterns. He had a strong presence and just standing there he was like a mountain that could not be ignored.

Hearing Xie Jiuniang's words, he looked at the Great Elder coldly, and then the Great Elder stood up and told him what had happened.

The hall master went to Danfeng personally, performed the backtracking technique at the scene of the crime, and recreated the scene that happened not long ago.

Chao Yan looked at Master Wang and sneered, "You're dead."

Master Wang looked ashen.

When the hall master takes action, his small movements cannot be concealed at all. Unless something big happens, such as a crisis involving the sect, the master of the discipline hall will hardly show up.

According to their idea, this matter would not attract the attention of the hall master.

The head of the Discipline Hall reappeared and pronounced a cold sentence: "Wang Zhen violated the sect rules and shall be executed. Chao Yan shall be punished with twenty lashes and ten years of service."

Having said that, the man disappeared.

The next moment, several people wearing masks and black robes with dark patterns appeared and took Wang Zhen away.

Several other people surrounded Chao Yan.

Xie Jiuniang wanted to step forward, but Chao Yan stopped her with a look, and then Chao Yan was taken to the execution hall.

Above the execution hall is the throne where the founder of the sect is enshrined.

The sandalwood scent is lingering, majestic and solemn.

Chao Yan knelt before the master with his back straight.

The flogging in the Discipline Hall is not that simple. Every time a flogging is applied, the pain goes deep into the soul, making people experience what it is like to be heartbroken and feel that life is worse than death.

Xie Jiuniang secretly sent a note to the sect leader to ask for help.

It turned out that people came slower than she expected.

"Forbidden Spirit."

"Whip it!"

Snap! The executioner was a masked male cultivator, who swung his long whip and hit Chao Yan's back without holding back.

Whip after whip! The spiritual power was sealed, and every whip hit the flesh.

Yuanying's robes were not torn, but were stained with bright red blood.

Xie Jiuniang stood outside the threshold of the torture hall with her lips pursed, her fists clenched tightly, her peach blossom eyes filled with tears. She wished she could go up and take the punishment on behalf of her master, but she was powerless.

Every whip, every scene.

It was deeply imprinted in her mind, lingering and painful to touch.

"Is it very powerless?"

Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind.

Chao Ruo stood silently behind her, not knowing how long he had been standing there. "The sect rules cannot be violated. He went too far today, but no one would think he was impulsive. If he hadn't done that, he wouldn't have been able to attract the Discipline Hall Master, and your problem wouldn't have been so easy to resolve."

"I was being plotted against."

"But this is what you said alone. Everything requires evidence."

"I..." She was careless. Life had been too smooth over the years, and she lost her vigilance because she had someone protecting her.

Xie Jiuniang was filled with regret and could only watch her master being punished. This was more painful than being beaten on her body. "Sect Master, I have implicated my master."

"Well, you have to remember that the sect is not a place of ease." Chao Ruo suspected that the person behind the scenes wanted to plot against Chao Yan. "The person behind the scenes today was one step ahead. You need to take this as a warning."

It is difficult to judge who the target of the person behind the scenes is. It seems to be Xie Jiuniang, Chao Yan, or maybe both.

But who dares to calculate like this?

There must be a life-and-death feud.

Xie Jiuniang clenched her fists and tried to speak in a calm voice, "I will keep this in mind. Can you help Master?"

"I can't help you. Even if your master comes forward, he will still be punished. It's just a matter of how much. Just like when you spoke up just now, the hall master found out the reason and made him receive ten fewer lashes." There is a limit to the number of times the God of Transformation can appear as a guarantor.

Chao Ruo did not mention this last point to Xie Jiuniang.

If it was just this kind of punishment in the past, Chao Ruo would still be worried about him.

Now that the hidden danger in Chaoyan has been eliminated, Chao Ruo does not have to worry about what the punishment will cause. Instead, he hopes that Chaoyan will learn his lesson from this incident and be more careful in the future so as not to give others a handle on him again.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Chao Yan was whipped twenty times.

It was definitely painful, but he didn't even make a sound, and the hair on his forehead was soaked with cold sweat.

Until the last whip falls.

The executioner said, "Within ten days, you will be sent to serve at the border."

"Got it." Chao Yan responded.

Xie Jiuniang strode forward to support him, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Master!"

"It's okay." Chao Yan stood firm with her strength, then turned to look at Chao Ruo who was standing outside the punishment hall, "Senior Brother, you're late."

"As long as you don't die."

Chao Ruo waved his hand and took the master and disciple away together.

Xie Jiuniang only felt the wind whistling past her ears, and within a few breaths she appeared at the top of Zhengyang Peak.

Chao Ruo said with disdain: "Go and take care of the wound on your back. Yuan Xi stays outside and don't let anyone disturb you."

"yes."

Xie Jiuniang obeyed the instructions and stayed outside the cave.

The formation of the cave was activated. At this moment, she still smelled a faint smell of blood, which belonged to her master's blood.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and calmed her mind.

This matter is not so easy! She will definitely take revenge, she will.

Master Wang, Gongsun Yun and others are just minions.

The person behind this incident pointed directly at the Gongsun family and the Wu family. However, were these really the only two families involved? The person behind this incident did not hide the fact at all...

About half an hour passed.

Chao Ruo came out and asked Xie Jiuniang to take good care of the master in the next few days, and then left.

Xie Jiuniang hurried in, "Master!"

"Why are you so impatient? It's just a minor injury. It will be healed in two days. I can use this opportunity to kill Wang Zhen openly and honestly. It will be a good deal." Chao Yan was wearing a white middle-length coat and sitting on a finely carved spiritual fragrant wood couch.

When you get close to the bed, you can smell a light woody scent.

There was also a whiff of blood mixed with the smell of wound medicine.

Xie Jiuniang walked a few steps closer, lowered her head and stood obediently, feeling extremely uneasy, "Master, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble this time."

"Don't take the blame on yourself. You did nothing wrong in what happened today, and neither did I. The one who was wrong was the one behind the scenes." Chao Yan suspected that this matter was not that simple, and reminded him, "Disciple, be more careful when you go out next time."

"I will."

Xie Jiuniang recalled her actions over the years. She probably had aroused suspicion from several major families, but they just hadn't found any evidence.

If you think about it carefully, if there are several big families behind this, they would probably give a warning today.

The aristocratic families do not want to be enemies with the big sects, but they are not afraid of them either.

Just a frame-up full of loopholes could trap the master and his apprentice...
