After recounting the entire process, Zi Yue smiled and said, "Elder Lingxing, with witnesses and physical evidence, we can proceed with the trial."
Elder Lingxing nodded slowly.
Then, Elder Lingxing glanced at Elder Lanyue.
Elder Lanyue quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Elder Lingxing's gaze.
Seeing Elder Lanyue back down, Elder Lingxing said, "The Tide Water Spirit, this treasure of heaven and earth, belongs to the sect and must not be kept privately."
"Luo Mengxuan's act of harming her fellow disciples has violated the rules of our Xuanji Sect! Therefore, I hereby declare that Luo Mengxuan, the true disciple, is expelled from the sect. From this day forward, she is no longer a disciple of our Xuanji Sect!"
"I've finished speaking. Does anyone have any objections?"
After Elder Lingxing finished speaking, he looked at Elder Lanyue.
Since Elder Lan Yue is Luo Mengxuan's master, if anyone present raises an objection, it is most likely that Elder Lan Yue will do so.
But Elder Blue Moon sighed and shook his head, saying, "No objection."
Luo Mengxuan trembled, but did not say anything.
She knew that the verdict was already quite good.
Elder Lingxing did not execute her, nor did he seal her martial arts abilities; he merely expelled her from the sect.
This decision is undoubtedly quite lenient!
Given this, what right does she have to ask for more?
Elder Lingxing then looked at Elder Zijing, Elder Bowen, and Elder Danxiao.
Elder Zijing, Elder Bowen, and Elder Danxiao all shook their heads.
"Since everyone agrees, then now..."
Elder Lingxing had just finished speaking when a loud shout suddenly resounded throughout the entire venue.
"I object!"
In an instant, everyone in the room was stunned.
Who is so bold as to oppose Elder Lingxing's decision?
Elder Lingxing is the Grand Elder of the Xuanji Sect, second only to the Sect Leader!
Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came, and then they were surprised again.
Because the one who raised the objection was none other than Ye Feng!
Elder Lingxing frowned slightly and asked, "Inner disciple Ye Feng, do you have any objections?"
"Elder, I have an objection." Ye Feng bowed respectfully.
"I have already expelled Luo Mengxuan from the sect, don't you think that's enough? Ye Feng, I admit that you are a victim of this incident, and you almost died at Luo Mengxuan's hands, but Luo Mengxuan is not unforgivable, because you are still alive, and you were not even seriously injured." Elder Lingxing said earnestly.
"That's exactly what I wanted to say. My injuries aren't serious, and these superficial wounds will heal quickly. As for Senior Sister Luo, she was just confused for a moment, so it's better not to expel her from the sect."
"Senior Sister Luo is Elder Lan Yue's disciple and also a steward of the Good Deeds Hall. Even if she hasn't made any merits over the years, she has certainly worked hard."
"In that case, why not give her a chance?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, everyone present was stunned into silence.
"Is this guy out of his mind?"
"He actually pleaded for Luo Mengxuan!"
"He was almost killed by Luo Mengxuan! Didn't he know that himself?!"
"I simply cannot understand this person's thinking."
"Is this night wind crazy?!"
"Could it be that Luo Mengxuan seduced him and got close to him, and he really has feelings for Luo Mengxuan?"
"No way! If it were me, I would never have any feelings for someone who wants to kill me!"
The inner and outer disciples present were in an uproar, discussing it non-stop.
Luo Mengxuan, who was kneeling in the square, turned her head and looked at Ye Feng with disbelief. Even Elder Lan Yue looked at Ye Feng with surprise.
"Junior Brother Ye, have you taken the wrong medicine?" Zi Yue shouted.
Chang Qingyue frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Ye, Luo Mengxuan is a vicious person, we can't let her live!"
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "If Senior Sister Luo were truly vicious, she wouldn't have held back when she attacked me in the underground cavern of Shuangyue Lake."
"Hold back? Did she hold back back then?" Ziyue asked, puzzled.
Ye Feng said seriously, "She talked a lot of nonsense before she killed me. Wasn't that giving me a chance to escape? Moreover, she didn't use her killing move immediately after she made her move. Instead of killing me right away, she urged me to fight back. This shows that Senior Sister Luo was still very hesitant and conflicted at the time."
"So I think that Senior Sister Luo is not as bad as you think. Although she is a little petty and likes to hold grudges, she is not a completely vicious person."
At this point, Ye Feng looked up at Elder Lingxing in the sky.
"Elder, I still stand by my opinion, and since I am the victim in this incident, you should consider my opinion."
"Senior Sister Luo violated the sect rules, but she didn't go too far. In that case, it would be better to give her a chance."
Elder Bowen pondered for a moment, then cast an appreciative glance at Yefeng.
Elder Zijing, however, was so angry that his beard trembled. He shouted, "Shut up! What right does a mere inner disciple have to spout nonsense here? Elder Lingxing will make his own decision, and you have no right to interfere!"
Elder Lingxing waved his hand and said with a smile, "Ye Feng's words make sense. As a victim, his opinion does deserve our attention. Moreover, since Ye Feng himself doesn't intend to pursue Luo Mengxuan's responsibility, we shouldn't be too harsh on Luo Mengxuan."
After a pause, Elder Lingxing looked at Luo Mengxuan and said, "Since that's the case, then we won't expel you from the sect. Instead, you will be punished by spending ten years in seclusion in Yinfeng Cave to reflect on your mistakes."
Luo Mengxuan was overjoyed.
Although spending ten years in solitary contemplation in the Yin Wind Cave is very painful and will severely affect one's strength, at least one will not be expelled from the sect.
Moreover, she has an elder master as her backer. Elder Blue Moon will definitely give her the corresponding spiritual artifacts and elixirs to resist the bone-scraping yin wind in the Yin Wind Cave!
"Does anyone have any objections?" Elder Lingxing asked.
Elder Blue Moon shook his head repeatedly: "I have no objection."
Elder Zijing, Elder Bowen, and Elder Danxiao also shook their heads.
But at that moment, Night Wind shouted again, "I have an objection!"
"Are you ever going to stop?!" Elder Lingxing roared.
Ye Feng laughed and said, "This punishment is still too harsh. Ten years of solitary confinement will hinder cultivation. Elder, why don't you reconsider?"
Just as Elder Lingxing was about to speak, a melodious female voice suddenly came from the summit of Taishang Peak, ethereal and beautiful.
"Luo Mengxuan can simply come to the summit to apologize to the past patriarchs of the Xuanji Sect."
"One step, one kneel; one step, one kowtow!"
The once noisy central square suddenly became completely silent!
Because that's the voice of the Xuanji Sect Leader!
After a brief moment of astonishment, the elders turned around in unison and bowed towards the summit of Taishang Peak: "We respectfully obey the sect leader's decree!"
