“That’s enough!”

The sect leader's face turned pale. He shook his sleeves and glared at Chu Heng and Zhao Yanran.

"You said Sheng He killed the person, and when I asked you to produce evidence, you couldn't produce anything. Now that the twin pendants have been found on Chu Heng, the evidence is irrefutable, and you keep saying it's an injustice?"

"Xuan Xiao, this is the good disciple you taught! He actually killed his fellow disciples and framed his junior sister for a twin pendant!"

The sect leader was so angry that he was shaking all over. He glanced at the twenty or so disciples standing in the hall. His chest heaved violently and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Alright, that's all for today. Don't tell anyone about what happened in the Discipline Department today, or you will be treated as a traitor!"

"As for these two scums! Xuan Xiao, you are the apprentice you taught yourself, take him back and teach him a lesson! Don't dirty the floor of the Discipline Department!"

The sect leader glared at Xuan Xiao fiercely and left angrily.

The other elders looked at each other, and then looked at Chu Heng, who was still lying on the ground wailing with his head in his hands. They thought that Chu Heng was very talented and had a good character, and would be the next sect leader.

Who knew... The elders shook their heads and left one after another.

Xuan Xiao's face was gloomy. He took a deep look at Sheng He, then looked at his two disappointing disciples. The aura around him was as cold as ice.

For a piece of waste with dual spiritual roots who only formed his elixir after a hundred years, he actually pulled down both of his disciples in one fell swoop!

Xu Qingqing would definitely not have been killed by Chu Heng. Xuan Xiao had always understood his eldest disciple. Although Chu Heng's actions had become increasingly absurd in the past two years, he was not so stupid as to keep the stolen goods on his body after killing someone.

I'm afraid that this matter is most likely a case of them being framed instead of trying to frame someone, and now that the matter has become so big, it's impossible for him to protect them.

Xuan Xiao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was calmness in his eyes.

"Chu Heng, as my eldest disciple, you usually neglect your cultivation and do not make progress. Now you have harmed your fellow disciples and framed your junior sister. You have committed a serious mistake. Today, I will personally abolish your cultivation. From now on, you will be imprisoned in the Cliff of Repentance. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave for the rest of your life."

“Master!”

"Master, I don't have it!"

"Master, save me!"

Chu Heng howled in pain, feeling the pain of broken bones and piercing heart with every breath. He endured the pain and crawled to the feet of Master Xuan Xiao step by step. He grabbed the corner of Master's clothes like the last straw and begged, "Master, save me, I didn't kill him, Master, save me!"

"I have taught you for decades, and now I am very disappointed in you."

Xuan Xiao looked down at the senior disciple whom he had personally picked up decades ago, his expression without any fluctuation.

But Chu Heng seemed to understand something. His body was still in pain, but he loosened his grip on his master's hand and asked with trembling lips, "Master is going to abandon me, right?"

"Master abandoned me..."

The fragrance in the air seemed to be stronger. Chu Heng closed his eyes in despair, letting his thoughts gradually become blurred.

Xuan Xiao pursed his lips, stretched out his hand, dug out Chu Heng's golden elixir with his own hands, and cut his tendons in his hands and feet. Warm blood spilled all over the ground. Many disciples couldn't help but close their eyes when they saw this cruel scene.

Xuan Xiao raised his hand and crushed Chu Heng's golden elixir into pieces, but his hands were still clean, without a trace of blood.

"Zhao Yanran."

When she heard her own name, Zhao Yanran buried her head in her arms and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

"Did you participate in Chu Heng's murder of Xu Qingqing?"

When Sheng He heard Xuan Xiao's words, his eyebrows suddenly jumped. Is Immortal Xuan Xiao... going to put all the blame on Chu Heng in order to save Zhao Yanran?

But Chu Heng has been with Immortal Master Xuanxiao since he was a child and has always regarded him as his father. Zhao Yanran has only been a disciple for a few years. How could Xuanxiao have the heart to exchange the life of his eldest disciple for the future of his younger disciple?

unless……

She remembered that when Zhao Yanran first became Xuanxiao Immortal Master's disciple, Xuanxiao Master had not even seen this little disciple in person. He only heard that there was a little girl with a single fire spiritual root among the new disciples, so he directly accepted her as his disciple.

Sheng He stared at Zhao Yanran's back, thoughtfully.

Zhao Yanran suddenly raised her head, and when she saw Master Xuanxiao, she seemed to realize something and quickly denied it, "No, Master, this was all done by Senior Brother Chu alone, I know nothing!"

Xuan Xiao nodded gently: "Zhao Yanran, falsely accusing a fellow disciple is an unforgivable crime, but considering that you are still young, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and instigated by the traitor, you will be punished with thirty lashes."

After Xuan Xiao finished speaking, he didn't even look at Chu Heng lying on the ground. He just waved his sleeves and left.

The hall fell silent instantly. The three Discipline Department elders looked at each other. The oldest elder, Qiu, stepped forward and said loudly, "The matter has been clarified. All disciples may leave first. Please keep your mouth shut about what happened today and do not spread it to anyone else."

"yes!"

The moment he stepped out of the Discipline Department's gate, Elder Qiu's voice came from behind him: "Execute!"

Although the result was different from what Sheng He expected, it could be considered that Zhao Yanran and Chu Heng reaped the consequences of their own actions.

Sheng He left the Discipline Department in a good mood. Just after he took a few steps, he saw the deputy sect leader waiting under a tree with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Song Jinzhi turned around and wanted to run, but was grabbed by the collar by the deputy sect leader.

The deputy sect leader glared at Song Jinzhi, and while cursing at him, he dragged Song Jinzhi in front of him, while looking at Sheng He with a smile.

"You must be Sheng He, right? You are already in the middle stage of foundation building at such a young age. You are really young and promising. But this brat of mine is not good enough. He only knows how to cause trouble for me all day long!"

After the deputy sect leader finished speaking, he patted Song Jinzhi's head hard and took out a wooden box from his sleeve.

"I just heard from Jin Zhi that it was thanks to you that he came to his rescue in the secret realm this time, otherwise this little bastard would be in trouble now. I know that you must have been wronged in the matter of Xu Qingqing, but because of my identity, I can't speak out to protect you."

"This seven-color lotus platform is my thank you gift. Thank you Miss Sheng for saving Jin's life. If you are bullied in the sect in the future, or if you encounter any trouble, feel free to come to me and I will do my best to help you!"

The deputy sect leader took a step back and bowed deeply to Sheng He.

Sheng He saw this and quickly stepped forward to help the deputy sect leader up: "Sect leader, what are you doing? It's just a small favor. How can I accept such a great gift from you!"

The deputy clan leader patted Sheng He's shoulder appreciatively and praised him, "Not arrogant or impatient, what a good child! Unlike the one in my family!"

The deputy leader glared at Song Jin and handed the wooden box to Sheng He. "Good boy, take this colorful lotus platform. I have something else to do so I will take this little bastard back first. If you have been wronged in the sect, just tell me and I will definitely help you."
