After dealing with Lu Shiqing, Shen Sanruo seemed to remember something and looked at Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen, feigning surprise, "Oh dear, I forgot to ask Lingxiao Zhenren and Sect Master Shen for their opinions before punishing him directly."
"I believe you two have no objection to this punishment."
But her tone and expression showed no remorse whatsoever, and her last sentence was not even a question, but a statement.
Even so, Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen didn't say anything.
It's not worth getting angry with Shen Sangruo for someone like Lu Shiqing, whom they already dislike.
Anyway, once she regains her feelings for them, she will eventually return to the Flying Cloud Sect. Consider this her exercising the rights of the young sect leader ahead of time.
"That shameful thing deserves to be dealt with properly. Even if you don't, Ling Xiao and I will still severely punish him." Shen Daochen angrily flung his sleeve.
Shen Daochen changed his expression again, put on a smile, and wanted to say something to her.
But Wuwei Daoist, with a stern face, stopped him. “Your sect’s people deliberately plotted to harm the people of our Ninghua Sect and Taichu Sect. Sect Master Shen, you must give me an explanation for this matter today.”
“Just now, Sang girl avenged her own people, but your Feiyun Sect has not yet given any punishment for those two.”
"If you think you can just let this matter go so easily, then our Ninghua Sect is not just for show."
Wuwei Daoren snorted coldly. The usually jovial old man now displayed a great deal of authority.
Luo Chu, who was trying his best to make himself less noticeable, shrank back. He thought that after punishing Lu Shiqing, he would no longer hold him accountable, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape it.
“I admit that I participated in manipulating the illusion, but I really just watched from the sidelines. Lu Shiqing was the one who operated the illusion. I accept the punishment, but, but the crime does not warrant death!”
"Besides, I searched for the array's core so desperately afterward, which means I made amends for my mistake. I know I was wrong, so could you punish me a little less?" Luo Chu was practically kneeling down.
"Chen Sangruo, do you really intend to set me on fire just like you did to Lu Shiqing?"
She's already won back her feelings for him, how can she be so cruel to him?
Su Xiyu and the others rolled their eyes in exasperation.
Ye Huai coldly said, "If it weren't for that, do you think our junior sister would have given you a chance to speak?"
Based on her understanding of them, Shen Sangruo naturally knew who was in control in this matter. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Luo Chu stay until now; she would have dealt with him along with Lu Shiqing long ago.
It was just something I did casually.
Finding the core of the formation was indeed Luo Chu's achievement, so she didn't personally deal with him.
Luo Chu paused for a moment, then suddenly raised a self-deprecating smile.
Yes, that's how she is. She has a clear sense of right and wrong, is absolutely rational, and is not swayed by emotions. She never acts willfully or spitefully.
Therefore, she could never forgive them for what they had done in the past.
She had already made up her mind and could not be swayed by anyone; no matter how much they pestered her, it would be to no avail.
At this moment, Luo Chu's obsession seemed to suddenly fall, as if all his strength had been drained away, leaving him with no power to lift up this obsession.
She found better people around her: the sect leader, her master, her senior brothers and sisters, and even anyone else who was better than them.
He was better than them, understood her better, treated her more sincerely, and never hurt her from beginning to end.
So why are they still so insistent on bringing her back to them?
If they truly care about her, shouldn't they want her to have a better life?
Luo Chu seemed to suddenly realize something, something he had never thought of so clearly before.
Even after thinking it through, I still couldn't help feeling sad.
Luo Chu lowered her eyes, her emotions had sunk to the lowest point, her tightly clenched fists hung at her sides, her knuckles white from the force.
Even when Shen Daochen spoke up to deal with him and Lu Shiqing, there was no response.
"Lu Shiqing, your status as a direct disciple of Master Lingxiao is hereby revoked, and you are expelled from the sect. From this day forward, you are no longer a disciple of my Feiyun Sect. You are to be imprisoned in the Discipline Tower, where you will be tortured daily and never be allowed to leave."
"Luo Chu, you will be punished according to the sect rules and imprisoned in the Discipline Tower for one year. You may leave only after you have completed your punishment."
"So, is Sect Master Wuwei satisfied now?" Shen Daochen asked with a sullen face.
“Naturally… I’m not satisfied.” The Taoist Wuwei’s expression seemed to ease, but then he immediately became serious again.
"With such wicked intentions among your clan members, how dare we allow them to break the formation alongside our own children?"
"Dealing with the evil cultivators' formations is already troublesome enough, and we also have to guard against backstabbing from certain people in the team. I will never agree to let them join the team to break the formations."
Moreover, those people from the Flying Cloud Sect were injured so severely this time that they won't recover for at least a year and a half, and joining the team would only be a hindrance.
"I will inform the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits about this matter. If Sect Master Shen and True Person Lingxiao have any objections, we can go to the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits and have a good talk with them to see which side the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits will take."
This condition caused Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren to frown, clearly on the verge of anger.
It wasn't just because Wuwei Daoren publicly criticized their sect's members for their wicked intentions in front of so many people, thus embarrassing them.
Furthermore, if that were the case, they would have no reason to contact Chen Sangruo again, and how could they win back her affections?
This is undoubtedly disadvantageous for them.
But Daoist Wuwei has already moved out of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits. Even if he hadn't moved out, with Immortal Lord Changli around, they would have had no choice but to accept it.
There was no way around it; ever since Bai Mumu stole Lingxiao Zhenren's cultivation, Feiyun Sect had been suppressed by Ninghua Sect in every way.
Just as Lingxiao Zhenren was about to lash out, Changli Xianjun swept a glance at him, his spiritual energy surging in his hand, the warning clear.
Even though the two were unwilling, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.
There will always be other ways. It's just that Feng Heyun and the others are not allowed to participate in breaking the formation, not that they are not allowed to get close.
After dealing with the matter of Lu Shiqing and Luo Chu deliberately harming others, everyone decided to return to the Jiang family immediately, where Camel was already waiting not far away.
Those who broke the formation this time were all seriously injured, much more so than last time, and need to return home for treatment as soon as possible.
It's estimated that I'll need to rest for several months before I can continue trying to break the formation.
Just as everyone was preparing to mount their camels and return in triumph, the barrier behind them suddenly stirred.
Everyone turned around and discovered that a huge human figure had appeared above the barrier.
The figure was dressed in black and had his face covered with a veil. People from Ninghua Sect and Taichu Sect recognized him as the classic attire of evil cultivators from ten thousand years ago.
To their astonishment, the figure spoke.
