"Xue'er, just tell me the truth. Where did Li Siyuan go?" the law enforcement chief tempted.
"I don't know." Xue'er shook her head.
The Second Elder seemed to be getting very impatient with the interrogation and frowned, saying, "If you don't tell the truth, don't force me to torture you!"
"I really don't know. Senior Brother Li Siyuan has left Lingyao Peak for many days." Xue'er still shook her head firmly.
In fact, she really didn't know where Li Siyuan had gone during this period.
In the blink of an eye, she was actually targeted by the elders, which even surprised her.
"It seems that you won't tell the truth unless you are punished. Chief Law Enforcement Officer, start the punishment!" The second elder said in a commanding tone.
The chief law enforcement officer nodded timidly and waved to several law enforcement disciples. Then five or six law enforcement disciples came carrying a large iron box.
It can be clearly seen from the gaps in the iron mesh on the outside of the iron box.
Inside the iron box, countless snakes, scorpions, rats and insects crawled around. Just a glance at them made one's scalp tingle.
"It's the Five Poisons!"
"The Five Poisons Torture is the most severe punishment in the Qingyun Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. Oh my God! This is too cruel!"
"This Second Elder is so cruel to a little girl!"
The disciples who were blocking the way outside the hall shrank their necks after seeing the iron box, with boundless fear flashing in their eyes. At the same time, they also cast regretful glances at Xue'er.
The Five Poisons Torture are usually only used on disciples who betrayed the Qingyun Sect or committed serious sins.
Now, the Second Elder actually wanted to do it to Xue'er, which immediately caused a huge commotion.
Huang Zhenyi couldn't stand it any longer, but since his target was the Second Elder, he could only stare blankly from outside. He said, "Second Elder, even if my disciple Xue'er was harboring Li Siyuan, you wouldn't have to use such cruel torture, right? Besides, Xue'er doesn't even know where Li Siyuan went. Aren't you taking advantage of your power and bullying me?"
The Second Elder rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Do I really need you to point fingers at me when I'm doing things? If you say another word, I'll throw you in too!"
"You!" Huang Zhenyi was so angry that he dared not speak.
Even the chief disciple Huang Zhenyi was helpless, and the other disciples of Lingyao Peak had no say at all.
"What are you standing there for? I'll punish you!"
The second elder shouted.
The chief law enforcement officer nodded quickly and waved his hand, signaling the law enforcement disciples to throw Xue'er into the iron box.
Those law enforcement disciples were obviously frozen in time.
Because they also knew that Xue'er's fault did not warrant such torture. Once thrown into the iron box, she would be eaten by all kinds of poisonous creatures such as snakes, scorpions, rats and insects. It could be said that the future of this disciple would be ruined.
Even your life is not safe.
"don't want!"
"I really don't know where Senior Brother Li Siyuan went!"
"You will be punished!"
Looking at the densely packed snakes, scorpions, rats and insects in the iron box, Xue'er was almost scared to tears for a moment.
"Throw it in!" the second elder waved his hand impatiently.
The law enforcement disciple followed orders, grabbed Xue'er and threw her into the iron box. Xue'er struggled in vain, and at this moment, a look of despair appeared on her face.
Bang bang bang bang!
Suddenly, four stones shot out from the crowd and hit the four law enforcement disciples. The huge force directly knocked the four people back dozens of steps.
"The Second Elder is so majestic."
The crowd was dispersed by several elder disciples, and Li Siyuan walked into the hall smoothly, but was stopped by dozens of elder disciples from the second elder faction.
"Old Eight?" The second elder was stunned.
He didn't expect the Eighth Elder to come here, and frowned.
Li Siyuan said with a smile: "Why? Even I can't go in?"
The second elder waved his hand and asked someone to let Li Siyuan pass.
Li Siyuan walked over to Xue'er and helped her up from the ground, where she was sitting with a pale face. He patted her shoulders gently and said softly, "You'll be fine as long as I'm here."
Xue'er was stunned. Why did the voice of the Eighth Elder sound so familiar?
The Second Elder laughed and said, "Old Eight, do you have any way to get her to tell you where Li Siyuan is hiding?"
Li Siyuan turned around, his eyes fell on the Second Elder, he shook his head, and said in a domineering tone: "No, I came here today to tell you that I want to compete for your position as Second Elder."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Law Enforcement Hall, inside and outside, fell silent.
After a while, the Second Elder thought he had misheard and asked in surprise, "Old Eight, what did you just say? I can give you another chance to repeat your words."
"I'm going to kill you and take your place, understand?" Li Siyuan said loudly.
Everyone was shocked. The Eighth Elder wanted to compete for the position of the Second Elder and even threatened to kill him!
Such provocative words were spoken in public, forcing the Second Elder to accept the challenge!
But the Second Elder, who has been in a high position for many years, naturally would not challenge anyone for no reason. If he wins, that's natural, but what if he loses?
This is not just a matter of embarrassment, he might even lose his place on the elders' council.
If Li Siyuan challenged the Second Elder privately, the Second Elder would definitely refuse.
Hundreds of people were watching. The Second Elder, looking somewhat angry, said, "Eighth Elder, you're so bold! You want to challenge me? Let me ask you, are you qualified to challenge me?"
"Cao Gao!" Li Siyuan shouted and clapped his hands outside.
Outside the Law Enforcement Hall, there was a sudden loud shout and a large group of people rushed in.
The disciples of the Second Elder's faction who were guarding the hall could not be stopped and were directly rushed into the hall by hundreds of elder disciples led by Cao Gao.
