C53 Punishment
Especially when he saw Yi Tian being beaten up so badly that he looked like a pig's head, he was completely enraged.
"Is that true!?" He turned around with a bang, looked at Ling Yu, and berated him coldly: "Do you know the consequences of fighting in private and breaking the rules of a sect!"
"Elder Ming Zha, this matter …" Ling Yu immediately went forward, and just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted.
"Elder Clear Vision!" Yi Tian struggled to get up from the ground, and loudly cried: "I can't bear to see him bully his fellow sect members, but to be so rudely beaten into a serious injury, I beg of the elders to severely punish this person."
Could one be even more shameless holding the grass! Ling Yu flew into a rage and laughed coldly: "You have been wronged by being a man!"
"You are overbearing, bullying your fellow sect members, and you even have the face to slander us for framing you!" Yi Tian crawled in front of the clan elder and kept on pointing at Ling Yu: "Clan Elder, if we don't punish this person severely, where would the dignity of the Martial Sect be!"
"Enough!" The clan elder looked at Ling Yu, his face turning purple, his entire body trembling in anger: "Let me ask you, do you know what kind of crime it is to intentionally break the rules and beat your own sect?"
"Elder, this disciple knows, but …" Ling Yu swept a few people with his eyes, just as he was about to explain the entire sequence of events, he was interrupted by a young man who walked out from the crowd.
"Elder, I saw with my own eyes that this person has been acting arrogantly all day, forcibly stealing the spirit medicine and deliberately breaking the rules of the Martial Sect. Not only is he unrepentant, he even wants to turn the tables on the right and wrong, and such an arrogant and tyrannical person is unbefitting of his authority. If he does not punish him severely, how can he strengthen the prestige of my Martial Sect? Elder, please clearly observe and expel this kind of scum from the Martial Sect." The moment the young man opened his mouth, Ling Yu was immediately splashed with sewage.
Ling Yu was fuming with anger, he finally understood that these people were originally like a bunch of ferrets, joining hands to deal with him.
Furthermore, they were simply interrupting Ling Yu's explanation on purpose, not giving him the chance to speak. Under their joint criticism, it was difficult for Ling Yu to say anything.
"What else do you have to say?" The Elder laughed out in anger, "You stole my sect's Soul Treasure, yet you hurt me. You even want to frame me, yet you don't know what's good for you. Do you still want to argue in front of this old man?"
"Elder, they clearly wanted to take away my spiritual medicine. I was forced to attack and hurt them, and now, they are even working together to invert right from wrong and wrong. They are in the wrong, so I'm in the wrong. Elder, please observe clearly." Ling Yu argued and explained.
"Don't spout nonsense. We didn't know each other to begin with, so why would we work together to reverse right and wrong? You're spouting slander!" The youth that walked out of the crowd coldly said.
"Hmph, even if you say that you have a lotus flower in your mouth, don't think that you can invert right and wrong. If you still want to lie to an elder now, the crime will increase and you should abolish the Profound art, amputate both your limbs and expel your Martial Sect, to make an example for others." Yi Tian turned his head and sneered.
The three youths all turned their heads, looking at Ling Yu with ridiculing expressions on their faces. Under such a situation, Ling Yu was already powerless to turn the situation around.
"Good!" "You're very good!" The elder laughed out of anger: "You deceived me, turned right and wrong, and even arrogant to the point of seriously injuring hundreds of fellow sect members in front of their faces, you really create a situation that hasn't happened in the past few thousand years. From now on, I will expel you from the Martial Sect, and I will never approach even half a Martial Sect in my life."
Following after the elder's voice, the faces of Yi Tian and the few other youths quickly revealed expressions of complacency. It seemed that the matter of Ling Yu getting expelled from the Martial Sect was already a foregone conclusion.
However, contrary to their expectations, Han Zhu who was standing not far from them suddenly opened her mouth, and interrupted the elder's words.
"Reporting to Clan Elder, Ling Yu has been framed by a scoundrel, deceiving the truth, if Clan Elder listened to the words of the lowly one and wrongly expelled the good person from the Martial Sect, I am afraid it will damage your prestige, Clan Elder, I hope that you will consider it."
"What do you mean!" The elder's voice suddenly paused, her expression somewhat startled. Han Zhu was a disciple that Zi Yuefeng had specially nurtured, so she would definitely not speak without thinking.
"Senior Sister Han Zhu, I saw with my own eyes how this person bullied our sect. Don't spout nonsense." The youth that had walked out of the crowd, Wen Yu, was extremely anxious and hurriedly tried to defend herself.
"You said it just now, you saw Ling Yu bullying her fellow sect members and stealing their Soul Treasure. Why did you only come out to testify now? Don't you find it laughable? "
You just saw it, even Senior Brother Yi Tian was severely injured by him, I can't beat him, how would you dare to stop him from committing murder?
"But Ling Yu just came out of nothingness with us. How come he's been bullying his fellow sect members and stealing spirit medicine for so long?" Han Zhu's expression was cold, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, but the logic behind it was extremely tight.
"This …" He had fallen into the trap that Han Zhu had set for him, but since this matter had developed to this point, there was no turning back. He could only endure it, "You're speaking nonsense, I saw with my own eyes that Ling Yu has been staying in the Martial Arts Practice Field for the entire day, seizing the opportunity when her fellow sect members are injured to exit the teleportation formation to immediately go up and snatch the spirit medicine to oppress her fellow sect members.
"You!" Being robbed like that, Han Zhu was instantly angered to the point that her beautiful face flushed red, a trace of anger surging out from her eyes.
"That's right, we all saw it with our own eyes. For the past half day, Ling Yu had always been oppressing her fellow sect members to snatch away their spirit medicine. I can't bear to see him arguing with me, which was why he was able to heavily injure him."
"We can all bear witness to Ling Yu bullying his fellow sect members. We humbly request that the elders lower the Dharmic decree and expel this person from the Martial Sect, as an example for others."
Seeing that, the three youths agreed, berating Ling Yu loudly, in an attempt to overturn right and wrong.
In the end, his gaze landed on Han Zhu as he said in a deep voice: "Do you have any evidence that he followed you out of the nothingness?"
When Yi Tian heard this, he immediately shouted out, "Elder, what Senior Sister Han Zhu said is not true. They are friends after all, so naturally, they will speak up for him.
The elder could not help but frown, as he did not expect that Ling Yu and Han Zhu were actually friends, and could not help but say in a low voice: "Is this true!"
Han Zhu's beautiful face turned cold. He glared at Yi Tian and said in a tender voice, "In the nothingness, the Scarlet Elder was the one who personally escorted us to the teleportation formation. Are you going to invite the Scarlet Elder out to testify? At that time, are you talking nonsense again, slandering Ling Yu as the Scarlet Elder?! "
Crimson Elder!
Wen Yu, Yi Tian and the rest immediately broke out in cold sweat, and felt chills throughout their entire bodies. They were so scared that they almost fainted on the spot.
Although the Scarlet Elder was from the old woman, her power was still extremely terrifying. She was as famous as Zi Yuefeng's Elder Jiang, which was also known as the Zi Yue Duo Witch. Let alone them, even the other elders of the Martial Sect had to be wary of her.
If the Scarlet Elder had personally escorted them out of nothingness, there would be no point in arguing over this matter anymore …
Then, his gaze blasted towards Yi Tian and the others, as he could not help but let out a cold, angry laugh. He said with a cold voice: "Good, you guys are really very good, actually joining hands to deceive this elder, turning right and wrong, and falling into the hands of our fellow clan members. You have such big guts!"
Even if Ling Yu stood at the side, he could still hear the sound of the elders grinding their teeth.
With the situation developing to this extent, how could Yi Tian and the others dare to speak? They only looked at Ling Yu with hatred and killing intent.
From now on, all of you will be demoted to outer sect disciples. You will serve as servants and will not be promoted to the inner sect for three years. No objections are allowed! "
"What, we're going to do the menial chores?" The youths kneeling on the ground were completely dumbstruck.
"I can't advance within three years …" On the plaza, the onlookers standing not too far away started to discuss this. There were also many who were gloating. With such a result, they were bringing this upon themselves.
"As for you!" The elder's gaze fell on Ling Yu, and said solemnly: "Although you are only slandered, after all, you still hurt people, beat fellow sect members, and also violated the rules of the Martial Sect. Seeing that you did not intend to do so, this elder has intentionally opened up a little, and I'll punish you to go to Ten Thousand Beast Garden to serve as a slave for half a month, to make an example for others.
"Disciple doesn't dare." Ling Yu immediately cupped his fists and bowed, then said in a low voice: "I will follow the elders and Dharmic decree s."
"From today onwards, pack your luggage and report it to Ten Thousand Beast Garden. No mistakes can be made today.
"Yes sir!" Ling Yu heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he had been punished, this was already the result of his crime.
As for the three youths, their faces were ashen as they powerlessly sat on the ground. Three years of time was enough to change many things. Many people rushed forward to catch up, even leaving them far behind.
Yi Tian's eyes were ice-cold, looking at Ling Yu as if he was looking at a dead person, and his eyes were filled with hatred and poison: "Hehe, you're very good, very good, I've underestimated you!"
Although Ling Yu was too lazy to bother with him, he still remained vigilant.
Following that, he turned around and thanked Han Zhu: "Ling Yu thanks Senior Sister Han Zhu for helping us out, if not, I would have been harmed by the traitor today."
Han Zhu smiled faintly: "It's nothing, there's no need to be so polite. Since this matter is over, then we must return to Zi Yuefeng and report to Hall Master about the Mo Wang Plain. Goodbye."
Following the departure of the elders and Zi Yuefeng, the people in the plaza all dispersed and quickly returned to their previous state.
After returning to his temporary residence, Ling Yu immediately took out all the spiritual medicines he had obtained from the nothingness and began to process them. Although there were many different types, they were not difficult for the current Ling Yu.
However, the amount of spiritual medicines he received this time was truly a bit too much.
The majority of the spirit medicines were looted from Senior Brother Feng and the others, the rest were also from the people who were killed in the land of the demons.
There were at least a few hundred spiritual medicines. Although most of them were low grade medicine s, there were still a lot of middle-ranked and high-ranked spiritual medicines, which were more than enough for Ling Yu to cultivate in for a long time.
"I still lost a lot of crucial elixirs …"
After he finished counting all the spirit medicines, Ling Yu couldn't help but frown.
Although he had obtained quite a few spirit medicines this time, if they were to be used to concoct or refine Pill s, he still lacked a few crucial medicinal ingredients.
After all, he was not proficient in refining Pill, so refining these Pill with his current strength was not realistic.
