"Agree!"
The water Elder, fire Elder, and earth Elder of the Enforcent Hall all expressed their stance.
"If it’s about clearly defined rewards and punishnts, I have no objections."
Her Highness Moon Lady Chang Yueying hesitated for a mont, then nodded and said.
"I do have a suggestion, if Ling Xiao is willing to hand over all his gains, then he can be dealt with more leniently."
Supre Head Teacher Chang Yueli was even more shaless.
"Now is not the ti to talk about rewards and punishnts, is it? The issues haven’t even been clarified!"
"You can’t convict Ling Xiao based solely on the one-sided statents of those people!" said Golden Light Heavenly Lord coldly.
"Exactly!"
Guanghan Celestial Venerate nodded in agreent.
Subsequently, Venerable Pure Sky, Yang Dan Lin, the Master of Desperate Tower, and Inner Sect Yuehua Tower Master also expressed their positions one after another.
It was evident that there was a significant division within the sect.
Her Highness the Moon Lady slowly said, "Head of Enforcent Hall, since everyone is present today, it’s ti for a face-to-face confrontation to clarify who is right and who is wrong. If he truly has committed the act of harming his fellow sect mbers, I certainly will not obstruct your punishnt!"
"Good, in that case, let’s have the confrontation right here and now!"
Elder Jin did not dare defy Her Highness Moon Lady and also believed that, with more people on his side, Ling Xiao would be at a disadvantage in the argunt, even if he was in the right.
"This shaless scum Ling Xiao should have his cultivation level abolished and be expelled from the sect!"
"That’s right, he thought he could do whatever he wanted under Her Highness Moon Lady’s protection, but he didn’t expect Her Highness to handle matters so impartially."
"So what if he got first place in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony? So what if he broke a ten-thousand-year record? He violated a major taboo of the sect, and for that, he deserves to die a thousand tis over!"
Aside from a few Inner Sect Disciples who were on good terms with Ling Xiao and the majority of Outer Disciples, most of the others supported the idea of punishing Ling Xiao severely.
"Ling Xiao, what do you have to say?"
Elder Jin turned to Ling Xiao and asked.
"Since Her Highness Moon Lady agrees, I naturally have no objections. However, I’m soone who holds grudges, if the facts prove my innocence, then rember, all of you who slandered and sared my na, you will all die!"
Ling Xiao’s chilling voice seed to co from the Nine Nether Hell.
He was not afraid of the direct confrontation, but so people—he had to kill!
"Even at this point, you still dare to make such arrogant claims! If it’s proven that you’re innocent, the sect will naturally punish those who spoke nonsense; it’s not your place to take action!"
Elder Jin snorted coldly.
"Heh, is that so? Well then, let’s begin. I’m in a hurry to get back to my cultivation," said Ling Xiao with a faint smile.
"Arrogant! I ask you, were Ming Tian, Bai Feifei, Tantai Lingzi, and Shen Tian Lin eliminated by your hand?"
Elder Jin demanded, not caring about minor details but solely interested in why these four were eliminated.
"That’s right!"
Ling Xiao nodded and said.
"You admit it?"
Elder Jin was taken aback for a mont, as he had assud Ling Xiao would argue that he wasn’t responsible, but to his surprise, Ling Xiao admitted it outright.
"That’s right, I admit it, go ahead and ask," said Ling Xiao, looking unconcerned.
His expression infuriated Elder Jin.
He had seen arrogant people before, but never soone as brazen as this, showing such disrespect to the Head of Enforcent Hall.
"Fine, I’ll ask you again, why did you kill them?" Elder Jin demanded.
"Killing is killing, is there a need to ask why? A bunch of trash, what use is there in keeping them?" said Ling Xiao disdainfully.
This matter wasn’t sothing that could be explained, and Ling Xiao wasn’t going to genuinely defend himself. He believed those people had already colluded behind the scenes, and it would be impossible for him alone to argue against all of them.
Trash?
Upon hearing Ling Xiao’s words, everyone was shocked.
Never before had a disciple dared to boldly call the Sect’s genius, the Supre Head Teacher’s favored student, the Sect Leader’s own disciple, trash.
"Arrogant! You are just a re Transcendent Realm Martial Artist, how dare you call them trash?"
Elder Jin’s beard practically flew up in anger.
"Am I not right? If they aren’t trash, then why were they eliminated? When they entered the Moon Blossom Pagoda, their cultivation levels were all higher than mine, yet in the end, they were eliminated one by one. Isn’t that being trash? I really don’t know how you define trash!"
Ling Xiao disdainfully looked at Elder Jin as he spoke.
"Ling Xiao, I want to fight you for three hundred rounds, you enraged to death!"
Upon hearing himself called trash by Ling Xiao, Shen Tian Lin was the first to lose his patience; he roared and charged at Ling Xiao.
Logically speaking, there were plenty of people here who could have stopped him.
However, at this mont, no one blocked his way, as if tacitly choosing to watch.
"Seeking death!"
Ling Xiao scoffed coldly. This Shen Tian Lin was simply like a jumping clown; had he kept his head down, he might have lived a few more days.
But instead of staying low-key after coming out, he dared to provoke and tarnish him.
How could he forgive?
To kill such a dog, there was no need for a Moonlight Command!
Spurt!
Ling Xiao extended a finger, a sword of Qi broke through the air, and easily pierced Shen Tian Lin’s throat.
Bang!
Like a dead dog, Shen Tian Lin twitched on the ground a couple of tis before he completely stopped breathing.
"You! You! You actually dare to harm a fellow sect mber in front of so many people!"
Elder Jin simply couldn’t believe his eyes; Ling Xiao had just killed Shen Tian Lin!
He killed him!
Without a hint of rcy!
"Nonsense, he wanted to kill ; should I have simply stood there and let him?"
Ling Xiao coldly responded.
"Everyone saw it, right? You all saw it; this Ling Xiao is utterly despicable. If he can kill a fellow disciple outside, then inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, he certainly could do the sa. In my opinion, there’s no need for interrogation; we should directly convict him!"
Demonfla Celestial was practically beside himself with anger; Shen Tian Lin had only recently beco his disciple, and now he was dead—this was a direct slap to his face.
"Correct! Ling Xiao has rits and should be rewarded with 100,000 Sect points! However, for harming a fellow disciple, he must be killed without rcy!"
As the Head of the Enforcent Hall, Elder Jin’s words were tantamount to pronouncing judgnt on Ling Xiao.
100,000 Sect points might sound like a lot, but what good would it do if Ling Xiao were dead?
Elder Jin truly was cunning enough.
"Your Highness Moon Lady, what should we do?"
Head Teacher Chang Yueying turned to the Moon Lady and asked.
"This palace will ask one last ti: those who keep shouting that Ling Xiao hard them, dare you swear an oath to heaven?"
The Moon Lady’s eyes shone with a cold light as she looked towards the crowd below.
"If there is half a lie in what this disciple says, may I be struck by lightning and et a terrible death!"
Ming Tian, Bai Feifei, Tantai Lingzi, Shen Tian Lin, and others all swore their oaths.
"You’ve missed your last chance!"
The Moon Lady sighed and then waved her sleeve.
The Moon Blossom Pagoda burst into radiant light, followed by a vast screen appearing.
The scenes within the screen surprisingly showed the inside of the Moon Blossom Pagoda.
From the mont Ling Xiao and the others entered the first stage till the fourth, the scenes involving Ming Tian, Bai Feifei, Tantai Lingzi, and Shen Tian Lin, including even their conversations, were all displayed.
