After Bai Qingqing and Yun Zhan left, Yun Yue convened a clan meeting almost immediately.
All members of the Yun family in Tianyuan City must be present.
Otherwise, they will be automatically kicked out of the Yun family.
At the clan assembly, Yun Yue directly announced the punishment for Yun Wei and Yun Qi, the siblings.
The two siblings were expelled from the main branch of the Yun family and became members of a collateral branch.
Yunqi was even exiled to the barren mountains for thirty years.
The so-called barren mountain is a desolate mountain with such a harsh environment that not a single hair can grow there. It is a dark place belonging to the Yun family.
It is similar in nature to the Red Sand Cliff where the Tang family imprisoned prisoners.
Upon hearing this verdict, Yun Qi was stunned and looked at Yun Yue in disbelief: "Grandpa Clan Chief, are you... are you serious?"
"Otherwise what?" Yun Yue glanced at Yun Qi: "Do you think I'm joking?"
"Grandpa Clan Chief, isn't exiling her to the Barren Mountain too harsh?" Yun Wei pursed his lips: "Qiqi has a blue spiritual root; doing this will ruin her."
Not only is the barren mountain devoid of any vegetation, but its spiritual energy is also exceptionally thin.
There is basically no way to cultivate.
"Grandpa Clan Chief, I know I was wrong." Yun Qi cried with tears streaming down her face. "I shouldn't have spoken ill of the young clan chief in secret. Please forgive me this time."
"Even now, are you still going to resort to underhanded tactics?" Yun Yue shook his head, increasingly disappointed.
Yunqi's sobs faltered.
"Today, Yun Wei and Yun Qi are being punished because they offended Miss Bai," Yun Yue said, his voice authoritative as he looked at the crowd.
All the disciples of the Yun family had heard of Bai Qingqing.
Especially those who participated in the selection process.
The treatment Yun Hong and the others received at the Star Moon Sect was also a topic of conversation and envy among them.
Therefore, they all admired Bai Qingqing.
Hearing this now, Bai Qingqing's status in his heart has been greatly elevated.
He has even surpassed the clan chief and clan elders.
"Grandpa Clan Chief, is this what Miss Bai requested?" Yun Wei asked, fidgeting with his fingers.
“Miss Bai doesn’t have the time for that,” Yun Yue said. “But it’s a fact that you offended Miss Bai, and as the clan leader, I naturally cannot tolerate it.”
"Since Miss Bai doesn't mind, why is Grandpa Clan Chief so insistent?" Yun Qi asked, frowning.
"If such a trivial matter requires Miss Bai to speak personally, then I, as the hall master of the Star Moon Sect, would have no need to be here," Yun Yue said indifferently, glancing at Yun Qi.
Yunqi felt unconvinced and said aggrievedly, "Grandpa Clan Chief, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Yun Yue ignored her, but simply looked up at the group of Yun family members below.
His gaze was cold and stern, his presence as imposing as a mountain.
"You don't need to know exactly who Miss Bai is. Just remember this one thing."
Yun Yue paused for a moment, then continued, "Miss Bai is above the immortals, so you all must show her the utmost respect, even more so than you would show your own ancestors."
"Yes," all the disciples of the Yun family replied in unison.
"I will only say these words once today, and you all need to remember them well. If anyone violates them again, it won't be as simple as being exiled to a desolate mountain," Yun Yue said coldly.
"We will remember the patriarch's teachings," the Yun family disciples shouted in unison once again.
"Alright, everyone disperse." Yun Yue then waved his hand.
After the family assembly, the Yun family's enforcement team immediately put the spirit-locking shackles on Yun Qi and prepared to send her to the desolate mountains of the Dark Realm.
"Grandpa Clan Chief, may I have a few words with Qiqi?" Yun Wei asked, bowing.
“Go ahead.” Yun Yue nodded.
“Brother…” Yunqi cried, feeling wronged.
She still doesn't think she did anything wrong; she just wanted to get closer to Miss Bai.
"We are cultivators, thirty years will pass quickly," Yun Wei said, gently stroking Yun Qi's hair.
“But what about my cultivation level by then…” Yun Qi sobbed incessantly.
"Don't worry about that. I'll save all the good stuff for you and make sure you don't fall behind in your cultivation level," Yun Wei assured him.
"Thank you, brother," Yunqi said, wiping away her tears.
"We're siblings, why are you talking nonsense?" Yun Wei raised his hand to brush a strand of hair from Yun Qi's forehead, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "I have my own way."
Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and softly hummed in agreement.
"Alright, let's talk about the rest thirty years from now. It's getting late, we should go." A member of the enforcement team stepped forward, interrupting the two men's farewell.
"Brother, please take good care of yourself while I'm gone," Yunqi said, her eyes blurry with tears.
Yun Qi was quickly taken away by the law enforcement team.
Yun Wei took a deep breath, walked up to Yun Yue, and then knelt down with a thud.
"What are you doing?" Yun Yue asked.
“I know I’m no longer part of the main lineage, and if I’m sensible, I should leave on my own initiative. But I still have some things to say,” Yun Wei said.
"Speak," Yun Yue said calmly, appearing indifferent.
He did value Yunwei quite a bit at first.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of finding an opportunity to introduce him to Bai Qingqing.
After all, with his talent and level of expertise, he can be considered one of the best of his generation.
However, after this incident, Yun Yue discovered that Yun Wei was too scheming and too arrogant, making it difficult for him to achieve great things.
He misjudged the situation.
“Grandpa Clan Chief, I have been very dissatisfied with Yun Zhan becoming the Junior Clan Chief from the very beginning,” Yun Wei said.
"Continue." Yun Yue didn't even lift his eyelids.
"After all, he has no spiritual root and is a useless person. If you were asked to serve a mortal who cannot cultivate, I'm sure you wouldn't be willing, would you?" Yun Wei asked.
"Is this all you wanted to tell me?" Yun Yue asked back.
"What happened today was indeed our recklessness, and we offended Miss Bai, but the cause of the matter lies with Yun Zhan," Yun Wei continued.
"So?" Yun Yue finally raised his eyes, glanced at Yun Wei, and asked.
“I am not satisfied with your verdict.” Although Yun Wei was kneeling, his back was straight. “Therefore, I want to challenge the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion.”
The Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion was built by the ancestors of the Yun family.
As its name suggests, entering this pavilion means facing a near-death experience.
From the day the pavilion was built until now, only two people have survived.
One of them is a deceased ancestor.
The other is Yun Tong, the current third elder of the Yun family.
When Yun Tong broke out back then, he was already covered in wounds and was on the verge of death.
The Yun family ancestors built the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion for those who refused to accept the family's decision.
No matter what mistakes you made, as long as you can survive the Nine Deaths Pavilion, all your sins will be wiped clean.
Yun Wei was not willing to become a collateral disciple.
After all, the cultivation resources that disciples of the main lineage receive on a daily basis are incomparable to those of a hundred or so disciples of the collateral lineage.
