A blatant humiliation!
Although he was telling the truth, Wang Chongming simply refused to admit it.
At this point, the more he argued, the worse it got. Helpless, Wang Chongming could only snort coldly and shut his mouth.
Shen Zhengqing continued speaking.
“Yuwei has been in this sect for many years, and her achievements are obvious to all. Moreover, she has always been kind-hearted, so how could she possibly commit murder?”
"As for that junior disciple, he's even less capable. Can someone with mixed spiritual roots really control the mountain-protecting formation?"
What?
What did you say?
Xiao Feng was enraged and embarrassed.
I carved all of these formations myself!
Don't you consider yourself a human being?
Although the person speaking was on his side, Xiao Feng still muttered a few words to himself.
This is disrespectful!
Li Luo snorted coldly, interrupting Shen Zhengqing's words.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Elder Shen, your address was at the bottom of the Seven Sects Competition, so you don't care, do you?"
"Perhaps she's a heartless snake!"
Immediately, the entire hall was filled with the sounds of debate. It seemed that no one cared about the truth of the matter; they only cared about one thing.
The question is whether or not we can deal with these two!
Xiao Feng looked at the elders with amusement.
ridiculous!
That's ridiculous!
As an elder, he had none of the demeanor of an elder; instead, he resembled a commoner from the marketplace. If Xiao Feng closed his eyes, he would have wondered if he had wandered into a marketplace.
Seeing the argument going on and on, Si Tianyi finally lost his temper, slammed his fist on the table, and roared angrily.
"Enough!"
"You won't be able to reach a conclusion either!"
disappointment!
A deep sense of disappointment filled Si Tianyi's heart, and he couldn't help but think of his master.
When Master handed the sect over to me, did he have any hesitation?
Master!
Is the sect forever unable to return to its former state?
Although the elders stopped speaking, they all glared with their bull-like eyes, as if they wanted to tear apart anyone who disagreed with them.
The Spirit Sword Sect can never go back!
A deep sense of frustration filled Si Tianyi's heart. He had lived for a long time and had naturally witnessed the sect's most glorious moments.
At that time, the entire sect was united and had no selfish desires. All the sect's resources were shared, and the disciples competed to cultivate, but they also shared everything with one another without reservation.
That utopia is gone forever!
After recalling for a long time, Si Tianyi finally realized that he was still solving a case. He pondered for a long time before speaking.
"None of you have seen the truth of this matter. The disciples of Qingfeng and Shenjianfeng each have their own version of events, so let's settle this matter!"
To compromise?
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes, seemingly unable to comprehend why Si Tianyi would do such a thing given his level of cultivation.
This will only exacerbate the conflicts between the sects!
However, Xiao Feng did not speak.
He's a party involved in this matter, so nothing he says will make a difference.
"Considering that the disciples of Divine Sword Peak are already facing death, Divine Sword Peak will not impose any punishment!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuwei immediately stepped forward, cupped her hands in a respectful bow.
"Thank you for your decision, Sect Leader. I am willing to bear Qingfeng's sins alone!"
Xiao Feng's pupils contracted, and he took three steps in two to block Zhao Yuwei's path.
"This is all my fault. I requested the mountain-protecting formation be drawn. Sect Leader, if you must punish someone, punish me!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Yuan also showed the same expression as Shi Lei back then.
What are you acting for?
"Neither of you can escape your guilt. There were only two of you on Qingfeng Peak, and you were both present when my disciple died. You should both be punished as you deserve!"
After saying this, Lin Yuan cupped his fists and addressed Si Tianyi.
"Please make the decision, Sect Leader!"
With a bitter sigh, Si Tianyi slowly looked at Xiao Feng and the other person.
"Send the Thundercloud Whip from the Enforcement Hall, and have Elder Fang and Elder Dong jointly administer five lashes to each person!"
Upon hearing of this punishment, Xiao Feng felt a surge of relief.
That makes sense. After all, disciples from other sects died within their own sects, so they should be punished, even if it means being whipped.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly. Zhao Yuwei might be able to withstand it, but with Xiao Feng's small frame, he would probably be dead after five lashes.
His senior brother, the sect leader, was willing to trade his life for his own!
A sense of worry flashed through Lin Yuan's mind. If that were the case, Yan Yun might turn the sect upside down when she returned.
However, the other elders wore gloating expressions, as if they were eager to see the two of them get whipped.
Thundercloud Whip!
As the name suggests, when activated, dark clouds roll in and heavenly lightning descends. Those struck by this whip will suffer minor injuries, such as torn skin and flesh, and be hindered from cultivating for several years by the lightning. In severe cases, they will die directly or even be reduced to ashes, never to be reincarnated.
When Zhao Yuwei heard about the punishment, her face turned deathly pale. When she first entered the sect, Yan Yun had introduced her to the Thunder Cloud Whip.
Yan Yun's original words were: "With your small frame, one lash and you'd be blown to pieces!"
Seeing the reactions of everyone present, Xiao Feng realized something was wrong. Could this Thundercloud Whip be anything but simple?
Just then, Zhao Yuwei stepped forward again, gritting her teeth and forcing herself to speak.
"Sect Leader, I have a request!"
Everyone present turned their gaze to Zhao Yuwei, clearly puzzled as to why she would do something so strange when things were already settled.
"Speak!"
Si Tianyi has always been fair, so he naturally wouldn't shut people up.
"Sect Leader, this disciple is willing to bear all nine lashes alone, and I hope the Sect Leader will grant my request!"
Lin Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
Zhao Yuwei!
Nine lashes!
If they keep fighting, they'll all be dead!
Thinking of Yan Yun, who had been so protective of her young on Qingfeng Peak, he felt a pang of regret.
If he were to actually kill Yan Yun's most beloved disciple, then Yan Yun would probably slaughter his own Divine Sword Edge.
"Absolutely not!"
Just as everyone was wondering how to explain themselves, a simple, honest voice came from outside the main hall, and a moment later, a fat, chubby guy barged in.
Ouyang Lie took a closer look.
Wow!
Isn't this his foolish apprentice?
What is he here for?
Before he could even ask a question, Yueyang knelt down on the ground with a thud, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Sect Leader, I have objections to this matter!"
Si Tianyi frowned slightly, while Ouyang Lie's face was full of anger.
"Get out! What business is it of yours to have the elders of the various halls hold a meeting? Go back to Chonghuo Peak!"
However, this time Yueyang did not heed his master's words. Instead, he went to Zhao Yuwei's side and knelt down.
"Master, Sect Leader, Ning Ziming's death is related to me!"
What? !
The entire audience was completely dumbfounded.
I've never seen anyone willingly throw their life away!
Wan Feiyu was laughing heartily in the corner.
Go ahead and make a scene! Go ahead and make a scene!
It would be best if they all died, then I could go for first place in the sect competition!
