Daxia Dynasty, Yu Shenzhou, Shangqing Dao Sect.
The originally noisy big sects now seem extremely depressed, with a chilling aura, but no one dares to speak in the law enforcement hall.
The young man in brocade clothes sits on a high seat, his eyes are indifferent, and the two rows below him are full of law enforcers. The arrogant appearance in the past, under the cold glance of the young man, bowed his head and kept silent.
The handsome face of the young man in brocade clothes showed murderous intent, and his thin green fingers gently tapped on the seat, as if tapping everyone present.
"Master, the true disciple Zhao Yuan killed his fellow disciples, kidnapped mortals, raped and killed women, and was even more cruel and poisoned the Gathering Spirit Monkeys kept in captivity by the sect. This was Zhao Yuan adding Meteoric Frost Powder to the Gathering Spirit Monkeys' food trough. The disciple saw it with his own eyes. I beg the master to investigate!"
"The disciple sued the true disciple Zhao Yuan for plotting to kill the Holy Son and colluding with the Lingquan Sect. He had the intention to subvert our sect."
"Report to the master, a large number of letters between Zhao Yuan, the true disciple of the Lingquan Sect, and Ji Baxiao were found in Zhao Yuan's residence!"
The Shangqing Dao Sect and the Lingquan Sect have a blood feud for thousands of years. Those who colluded with the Lingquan Sect will be dug out of their hearts and bones, and will die in the Thunder Abyss!
The young man in brocade clothes looked at the disciples kneeling on the ground. Each of them wanted to sue Zhao Yuan, including true disciples. The seriousness of the matter was shocking.
As a true disciple, Zhao Yuan could not be abolished with just a few words.
Who will dare to sacrifice their lives and blood for Shangqing Dao Sect and plunder resources in the future?
The brocade-clothed youth frowned slightly and said calmly: "Where is Zhao Yuan?"
Squeak.
The door of the Law Enforcement Hall was opened, and the youth walked in calmly with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
Standing like a green pine, with a gloomy look, staring at the high position, the strange thing is that his skin was torn and his thin clothes had already turned dark red, and a faint smell of blood emanated from the youth's body.
"Zhao Yuan, you pointed it out, do you have any excuse?"
The brocade-clothed youth looked at the scarred Zhao Yuan with indifference. He was the leader of Shangqing Dao Sect, Shangqing Liuyun, and he was in a high position. How could he feel the suffering of his disciples?
Whether Zhao Yuan was wronged, whether he was resentful, whether he had any resentment, what did it have to do with him?
Life or death, he is just an ant.
What he needed was to stabilize the peace of Shangqing Dao Sect, and this farce should end.
Zhao Yuan's lips were thin, and he didn't speak for a long time. He didn't know what to say, or he knew that it was useless to say it.
Three years ago, Zhao Yuan and his fiancée Jiang Nanxi worshipped Shangqing Dao Sect together, and soon awakened a special physique - the Hundred Battle Spirit Body.
Ranked 73rd on the Spirit Body List, the Hundred Battle Spirit Body is at the end of the 81st Spirit Body, but this spirit body has a special ability that other spirit bodies have never had.
Rumor has it that those who hold the Hundred Battle Spirit Body will go through all kinds of difficulties, fight against the geniuses, cultivate the undefeated Dao heart, and become a saint after a hundred battles!
Just a few words can make people crazy, become a saint, from ancient times to the present, how many peerless geniuses have fallen at this step.
After awakening the Hundred Battle Spirit Body, Zhao Yuan's status jumped to become the sixth true disciple in the sect.
It was also because of this that Zhao Yuan offended the inner sect disciple Zhou Huai. If it weren't for Zhao Yuan, Zhou Huai would definitely have become a true disciple.
The two of them had a grudge, but Zhou Huai didn't dare to attack Zhao Yuan because of his true identity. Who would have thought that Zhou Huai had awakened a king body higher than the spirit body three months ago.
Xuanxu King Body!
Zhou Huai transformed from an inner disciple to the third holy son of Shangqing Dao Sect.
Every holy son means a glimpse of the saint. Zhou Huai began to retaliate against Zhao Yuan crazily. Fortunately, Master Zhao Yuan took action, so Zhou Huai didn't dare to continue to be rampant.
People are unpredictable. One month ago, a Taiyi strongman left a secret realm at the junction of Shangqing Dao Sect and Lingquan Sect. The two sects broke out a terrible war for the opportunity in the secret realm.
And Zhao Yuan's master also died in this war!
Seeing that Zhao Yuan had no backing behind him, Zhou Huai joined forces with the disciples in the sect to fabricate false charges.
During the trip to the secret realm, Zhao Yuan carelessly let go of Ji Baxiao from Lingquan Sect, which gave Zhou Huai an opportunity. The disciples in the sect and the Law Enforcement Hall were willing to sell the face of a saint, resulting in Zhao Yuan being thrown into the Thunder Abyss without complete evidence!
In the Thunder Abyss, from prisoners to elders, everyone beat Zhao Yuan with fists and feet. His cultivation was sealed in the Thunder Abyss, and Zhao Yuan didn't even have a chance to relax physically.
The severe physical pain and the boundless mental torture made Zhao Yuan look a little dazed.
Fortunately, his fiancée Jiang Nanxi sounded the drum of redress in the sect as soon as she learned about his situation.
The leader of Shangqing Sect showed up to make the decision, but the leader's decision disappointed Zhao Yuan. The leader of a sect stood beside Wang Ti without distinguishing right from wrong. Today was Zhao Yuan's second trial. After this, Zhao Yuan would never be able to turn things around.
A cold wind blew into the hall, and Zhao Yuan couldn't help shrinking his sleeves. The biting cold was far less than the indifference and stupidity in the hall.
After his master died, no one cared about him except his fiancée. Thinking of his fiancée, Zhao Yuan had a thought of living.
If Zhao Yuan kowtowed to Zhou Huai to apologize for today's incident, there might be a turnaround.
Shangqing Liuyun said with a cold face: "Zhou Huai, come in!"
"Disciple Zhou Huai, meet the sect master, meet the elders"
The man in green clothes, with a jade-like face, gentle and humble, slowly saluted Shangqing Liuyun who was standing on the high platform. There seemed to be an invisible Taoist charm around him, from the inside out, naturally.
Shangqing Liuyun's indifferent expression faded, and a satisfied look emerged. He whispered: "Huai'er, have you entered the Juyuan realm?"
Zhou Huai was extraordinary, his eyes were bright, and he said proudly: "I just entered the Juyuan realm yesterday!"
"Good, good, good"
Shangqing Liuyun said three good things in a row, unable to hide his joy. He was 18 years old and had reached the Juyuan realm. Looking at the history of Shangqing Dao Sect, there were many people who had reached the Juyuan realm.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
"Zhao Yuan, do you have any complaints about the disciple's identification and my punishment?"
"The disciple... has..."
Zhao Yuan was neither humble nor arrogant, and faced Qing Liuyun directly: "Disciple Zhao Yuan, I have never done anything to harm disciples, kidnap mortals, or rape women!"
"Zhao Yuan, do you mean we are slandering you?" Bai Shan, a true disciple kneeling on the ground, shouted sternly.
Li Ze, another true disciple standing by, also said: "Will a mentally ill person say that he is crazy?"
"Some people really have paranoid delusions. If they didn't do it, would so many fellow disciples point it out?"
"I don't know what it is either."
Li Ze changed the subject, as if he thought of something interesting. He looked at Zhou Huai and turned to Zhao Yuan, jokingly saying: "Someone is still thinking about it in his heart, forgetting that he is just someone else's dog!"
"Yes, Jiang Nanxi would never have thought that his dog would be so loyal. It is really unique in thousands of years!"
The ridicule in the hall reached Zhao Yuan's ears, and his body trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything. He knew that Li Ze was mocking him for being Jiang Nanxi's licking dog.
So what.
So what.
He and Jiang Nanxi are in true love, and Jiang Nanxi also loves him. They love each other!
He is not a so-called licking dog, not... definitely not. Jiang Nanxi risked beating the drum of redress for herself, and she must also love herself sincerely.
Although he might be a bit of a bootlicker, for three years, he has taken meticulous care of her, loved her, bought her gifts, and sent her breakfast in the morning. Jiang Nanxi is neither cold nor warm to him, which must be a test for him.
Once he is in danger, he will immediately appear to help him.
Facing Li Ze's sarcasm, Zhao Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his scarlet eyes stared at Li Ze, roaring: "Shut up, Nanxi and I are truly in love, how can you understand it?"
Li Ze laughed so hard that he fell down, disdainful.
"True love? Zhao Yuan, do you know what kind of person Jiang Nanxi is?"
"Please ask the sect master to ask Jiang Nanxi to show up and confront, and see if Zhao Yuan has done it." Zhou Huai smiled slightly and said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he was sure that Jiang Nanxi would stand on his side to clear his grievances, and immediately said: "Please ask the sect master to ask Nanxi to decide whether the matter is true or false"
"Yes"
Shangqing Liuyun's voice came out slowly.
Zhao Yuan waited for Jiang Nanxi to come with a happy look on his face, but he didn't notice that the eyes of the people around him were mixed with teasing, as if they were watching a performance...monkey!
Zhou Huai licked his lips, feeling a great sense of accomplishment in his heart. For him, killing a person and destroying a person could not give him pleasure at all.
Only torture, endless torture, especially the emotional sensation brought by watching this person completely fall into collapse, can make Zhou Huai feel good.
Bang.
With a muffled sound, the eyes in the hall were focused, and the girl walked in under countless gazes.
The breeze blew, lifting her long hair, and a touch of fragrance floated in the hall, making people happy.
The white skin was crystal clear like jade, the lavender dress reflected the seductive curves, and a pair of sexy and slender legs looked particularly seductive.
Jiang Nanxi smiled lightly, revealing a charming dimple on her little face, and her slender fingers intertwined, bowing.
"Disciple Jiang Nanxi greets the Sect Master"
Shangqing Liuyun said, "I called you here, so I should know something!"
Jiang Nanxi smiled and said, "Disciple knows"
Zhao Yuan looked at Jiang Nanxi eagerly. This was his girl, as stunning as a flower in the sun.
But Jiang Nanxi's words made Zhao Yuan feel like he was in an ice cave, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Disciple Jiang Nanxi, I have witnessed with my own eyes that Zhao Yuan killed disciples of the sect, and he told me more than once that he would betray Shangqing Dao Sect"
"Is what you said true?"
"Every word of my disciple is true, please let the Sect Master know!"
Zhao Yuan's body couldn't stop shaking. He couldn't believe that Jiang Nanxi would say such a thing. Why did he cover up the truth? He had given everything for Jiang Nanxi.
The two have known each other since childhood, and have been childhood sweethearts. They have made an engagement early on and have been together for life. For Jiang Nanxi, Zhao Yuan has used his family's strength many times to help the Jiang family out of trouble!
Three years ago, Zhao Yuan was favored by the great elder of Shangqing Dao Sect. When he left, it was only because of Jiang Nanxi's words: "I wish I will never be separated from Yuan in this life!"
Zhao Yuan begged his master, and finally had no choice but to return to the sect with Jiang Nanxi, who had no talent for cultivation!
For three years, as long as Jiang Nanxi asked, Zhao Yuan would do everything.
"Why..." Zhao Yuan made a low sound like a beast. The person he trusted most stabbed him!
"Jiang Nanxi, I regard you as my beloved, why do you treat me like this?" Zhao Yuan growled, unwilling to believe it in his heart.
"Jiang Nanxi, tell me this is not true!"
Disgust flashed across Jiang Nanxi's pretty face, and she said respectfully: "Please let the Sect Master decide!"
Shangqing Liuyun looked at the hopeful eyes and the stubborn Zhao Yuan below, and had a plan in his mind. The cold voice sounded, which also meant that Zhao Yuan's ending was completely annihilated and there was no chance of survival!
"Zhao Yuan, a true disciple, killed his fellow disciples, colluded with outsiders, abducted mortals, raped and killed women, and his crimes were too numerous to be remembered"
"However, considering that his master died in battle for the sect, and Zhao Yuan also shed blood for the sect, I have decided that Zhao Yuan will be deprived of his true identity, abolish his cultivation, strip off his spirit body, and be imprisoned in Qiongfeng for three hundred years!"
"Let Zhou Shengzi decide the punishment for the rebellious disciple"
Shangqing Liuyun's voice resounded throughout the hall, and it lingered for a long time. For Zhao Yuan, it was like the bell of the god of death!
Zhou Huai bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Sect Master!"
Shang Qing Liuyun nodded, and after he finished speaking, an old voice sounded, and Shang Qing Liuyun frowned slightly.
"Please, Sect Master, for Han Shuo's sacrifice for the sect, don't abolish Zhao Zhenchuan, even if it means demoting him to a menial job!"
Zhao Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and was deeply moved. He didn't expect that he would fall into this situation and there would still be someone willing to speak for him.
"Nie Rong, you are really old and confused. How can the Sect Master's words be fickle?"
A white-haired old man jumped out from behind Zhou Huai and cursed Nie Rong.
His name is Miao Xi, an elder of Zhou Huai's faction. If Zhou Huai prospers, he prospers, and if Zhou Huai declines, he dies. He naturally knows the grievances between Zhou Huai and Zhao Yuan.
Once Zhao Yuan gets a breath, these elders who are exhausted will be liquidated. How can they survive then?
Nie Rong is just an elder guarding the library. The sect gave him the title of elder because of his old age. He has no power and influence, but he dares to plead for his son?
"Sect Master, even if you don't look at Elder Han Shuo, you have to consider the Zhao family." Nie Rong knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "I have a useless nephew who runs errands in the Great Xia Great Wall. A few days ago, he sent me a message and told me that a great man from the Zhao family in Yu Shenzhou killed three great demons in the Soul Refining Realm!"
"Nie Rong, don't spread rumors to confuse the public. I think you are old and confused. Besides, does the surname Zhao mean that you are a member of the Zhao family?" Miao Xi cursed. He was really afraid that the sect master would change his mind and let the tiger go back to the mountain.
As Miao Xi's voice fell, the hall began to riot, and many elders pointed at Nie Rong.
Nie Rong shrank back, not daring to say anything more. He pleaded for Zhao Yuan, firstly, Zhao Yuan was a kind person, and secondly, the sect had set off. Shangqing Dao Sect was no longer as glorious as it seemed on the surface, like a shaky ship that could no longer be tossed.
"Silence!" Shangqing Liuyun's voice sounded, his words arrogant and confident: "Even if it is the Zhao family, so what?"
"Our sect is not afraid of the world!"
"This matter ends here, all of you retreat!"
Shangqing Liuyun's contemptuous eyes swept over, and his figure gradually dispersed. After seeing the sect master leave, many elders in the hall also showed goodwill to Zhou Huai one by one.
The elders who were originally on good terms with Zhao Yuan just sighed repeatedly and dared not speak.
Everyone can see that the sect master is going to vigorously cultivate Zhou Huai. In the future, the position of a sect may fall into Zhou Huai's hands. Wouldn't these old guys who are half buried in the ground enjoy their old age?
If not showing goodwill now, when?
Zhou Huai waved his hand, and the elders immediately left the hall quietly, as they knew the grudge between Zhou Huai and Zhao Yuan.
Zhou Huai looked at Zhao Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, with a smile on his face, and felt relieved: "Zhao Yuan, you didn't expect this day to come!"
Zhao Yuan didn't comment, but stared at Jiang Nanxi, with endless anger in his eyes, and a strong murderous intent lingered in the cold hall!
"Nanxi, you will abolish our true disciple!" Zhou Huai turned around, his face full of warmth, like a touch of spring breeze, making people happy.
Jiang Nanxi hesitated for a moment and said, "I... me?"
Although she had no feelings for Zhao Yuan, she was still engaged, and she would be cursed if she abolished her fiancé!
Zhou Huai saw what Jiang Nanxi was thinking and said calmly: "Kill him, and let the Japanese young master take you to cancel the engagement!"
Jiang Nanxi's eyes lit up. A good bird chooses a tree to live in. She, Jiang Nanxi, naturally has to choose a better person. Zhao Yuan's spirit body is indeed not bad, but how dare he compare with the king's body?
Jiang Nanxi walked towards Zhao Yuan step by step. In order to pursue a higher level, she had to do this!
"Zhao Yuan, close your eyes, I do this for us, don't you want me to go to a higher level?"
"Love someone, don't you want her to live a good life?"
"Now I have found my own happiness, you should help me!"
Zhao Yuan couldn't believe that Jiang Nanxi would say such a thing, and laughed crazily: "Okay, okay, okay"
"What a good one, you keep saying it's for our good, Jiang Nanxi you are so cruel!"
"Noisy!" Jiang Nanxi looked cold, without any emotion, stepped forward quickly, turned his finger into a blade, and directly cut Zhao Yuan's eight meridians!
Then Jiang Nanxi's surging spiritual energy from the middle stage of Qi Condensation poured into Zhao Yuan's body crazily, causing him to feel a swollen pain that made him feel like dying. The severance of his meridians prevented the spiritual energy in Zhao Yuan's body from circulating around the body, and it began to squeeze his body.
Zhao Yuan's face flushed, and he roared in anger. Only a man, a woman, and a young boy were left in the lonely hall, screaming miserably.
