Chapter 90: Twists and turns
If I tell you to live, you live; if I tell you to die, you die!
Only Zhao Qian dared to overturn the result of the joint trial of the five elders and say such arrogant words.
Tie Wuhong, who was always impartial, said: "This result was jointly judged by the five golden robe elders. Only the black robe elders are qualified to overturn it."
"Even if you are a direct disciple, you cannot violate the sect rules."
Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows when he heard this and sneered, "Are you trying to use the sect rules to pressure me? No one can stop me from changing the outcome!"
As he spoke, Zhao Qian flipped his hand and took out a jade talisman with many runes drawn on it. It was extremely mysterious, emitting a hazy light and exuding an astonishing aura.
"Sealing Jade Talisman!"
Tie Wuhong had a dull look on his face, and the other three silver-robed elders were all speechless.
When Xiao Ye saw the jade talisman, his heart skipped a beat.
He had seen the introduction of this item in the Black Dragon Country Records. The Sealing Jade Talisman was very special. It could seal the warrior's power inside and release it after crushing it. It was like a talisman.
However, only warriors who have comprehended the true meaning of martial arts and whose cultivation has reached the innate limit can seal their power in the jade talisman. Of course, this will also cause considerable loss to themselves.
Generally speaking, the Sealing Jade Talisman would only be given to close relatives or younger generations who are greatly valued.
"Zhao Qian can take out the sealing jade talisman, could it be..." Xiao Ye had a bad feeling in his heart.
Click!
At this moment, Zhao Qian had already crushed the sealing jade talisman in his hand. After a crisp sound, a blazing light burst out, and an unparalleled powerful martial arts truth rushed out from it, emitting a terrifying pressure.
Boom!
The entire Judgment Hall trembled under this terrifying pressure.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
The true meaning of martial arts that permeated the Judgment Hall suddenly condensed and transformed into the shadow of an old man wearing a black robe, with white hair and a body like a dead tree. His eyes, full of vicissitudes, swept towards everyone.
boom!
When Xiao Ye was swept by the old man's gaze, his whole body trembled, as if he was imprisoned, and he couldn't even use the innate true energy in his dantian.
Only when the old man looked away did Xiao Ye regain his freedom, but his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.
"It's so terrifying, much more powerful than Zhao Qian!" Xiao Ye was extremely shocked.
Although what appeared before his eyes was just a phantom transformed from the true meaning of martial arts, it possessed a terrifying aura.
“Grand Elder!”
“Grand Elder!”
“Grand Elder!”
…
Seeing the old man's shadow, the golden-robed elders in the Judgment Hall bowed at the same time, showing great respect.
"Grand Elder? Could it be that this old man is the Grand Elder among the four black-robed elders?" Xiao Ye looked at him carefully.
The four black-robed elders of Chongyang Sect were all powerful men at the limit of innate strength, only one step away from the Xuanwu realm. As the leader of the black-robed elders, the great elder was even more powerful.
Facing the golden-robed elder's salute, the shadow of the great elder did not react at all.
Xiao Ye understood that this was just an illusion created by the true meaning of martial arts, not a real person, so of course there would be no reaction.
Zhao Qian waved his hand, and the shadow of the great elder disappeared immediately, and the terrifying power was sealed into the jade talisman again.
"This is my master's sealing jade talisman. If you think it is not enough, I still have the second elder and the third elder's sealing jade talismans here." Two more jade talismans emitting a hazy light appeared in Zhao Qian's left hand.
hiss!
Everyone in the Judgment Hall gasped, their faces filled with horror.
Except for the Fourth Elder, the other three black-robed elders all gave Zhao Qian a sealing jade talisman!
"I also have... the deputy sect leader's sealing jade talisman here!" A golden jade talisman appeared in the palm of Zhao Qian's right hand.
boom!
As soon as the golden jade talisman appeared, the entire void was shaking, as if it could not bear the power contained in the jade talisman.
The deputy sect leader’s sealing jade talisman!
Looking at the golden jade talisman, everyone's heart was pounding and they felt dizzy.
The deputy leader of Chongyang Sect is a powerful person in Xuanwu Realm. Zhao Qian even has the deputy leader's sealing jade talisman, which means that Zhao Qian has been trained as the future leader of Chongyang Sect.
Zhao Qian is the apple of everyone's eye in Chongyang Gate, a true child of destiny!
"Now I can overturn the verdict!" Zhao Qian waved his hand and collected all the sealing jade talismans.
"Okay." Tie Wuhong smiled bitterly.
Zhao Qian had the sealing jade talismans of the three black-robed elders in his hand. He believed that it would not be too difficult to get them to come forward, and it would be easy to overturn the trial results. He would not be able to change anything if he insisted.
"I hope you won't make a choice that you will regret." Zhao Qian sat on the chair and glanced at all the golden-robed elders.
These threatening words made Tie Wuhong's face change slightly, and his expression became uncertain.
"This is trouble." Elder Ling Yang became anxious.
Zhao Qian interfered with the trial results and made it clear that he wanted to deal with Xiao Ye.
Soon, the golden-robed elder who was knocked away by Zhao Qian came back and started the trial again.
"I declare Xiao Ye guilty!"
"I declare Xiao Ye guilty!"
"I... declare Xiao Ye guilty!" said the elder who had previously agreed with Ling Yang without hesitation.
Although Ling Yang and Tie Wuhong had not spoken yet, three of the five people had determined that Xiao Ye was guilty, and the trial result had been decided.
"You see, country bumpkin? When you were trying to catch up with me, I had already reached a height that you could never reach."
"I, Zhao Qian, don't need to take any action. I can change the outcome of the trial and decide your life or death with just one sentence!" Zhao Qian's face was full of arrogance.
Xiao Ye was filled with rage, and his knuckles were cracking.
"Haha, what a great joint trial by the elders. It turns out that it's just Zhao Qian's one-man show!" Xiao Ye raised his head and laughed, his laughter was full of sadness and unwillingness.
At this moment, he deeply realized that the so-called sect rules were only used to restrict ordinary people.
As long as you have enough strength, you can ignore the rules of the sect, or even change them!
If his strength was superior to Zhao Qian's, why would these golden-robed elders follow Zhao Qian to bully him?
"Alas." Tie Wuhong sighed and stopped talking, feeling helpless about the reality.
There is no way. Zhao Qian’s strength and background are too terrifying, far beyond the reach of ordinary disciples .
"Tie Wuhong, the trial result is already very clear. As the law enforcement elder, you should start enforcing the law now." Zhao Qian said coldly while sitting in his chair.
Tie Wuhong nodded and looked at Xiao Ye. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by indifference.
"Xiao Ye, you have violated the sect's rules. Now the five golden-robed elders have jointly tried you and found you guilty. Now I will abolish your cultivation and expel you from the sect!" Tie Wuhong said.
Listening to Tie Wuhong 's verdict, a smug smile appeared on Zhao Qian's lips. To abolish a warrior's cultivation is more painful than death, especially for an inner sect disciple.
Xiao Ye's heart trembled violently when he heard this, and a trace of despair rose in his heart.
His current level of cultivation was gained through hard work, so how could he be willing to let others abolish it?
"The sect is unfair, so today I, Xiao Ye, will fight a bloody battle with the sect!" Xiao Ye raised his head slightly, and his cold eyes swept .
For some reason, the three elders felt a chill in their hearts.
clang!
Xiao Ye drew out the Tianjue Sword, a powerful aura burst out from his body, and his face was full of fearlessness and madness.
Although I am small, I will not allow myself to be bullied!
Since the sect wanted to abolish him, he would rebel against the sect! Even if he shed his last drop of blood, he would defend his dignity!
"Humph, you dare to resist the sect!"
Zhao Qian stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Xiao Ye with contempt. The pressure created by the surging power in his body pressed down on him like a mountain.
Boom!
The ground under Xiao Ye's feet turned into powder, and his figure staggered back several steps.
Zhao Qian is now even more terrifying than he was two years ago.
"Are you going to use your breath to force me to kneel down again?" Xiao Ye roared, and activated the Four Ding Heavenly Skill to resist the pressure and stand straight.
Suddenly, a dark and old figure appeared in the Judgment Hall.
The black-robed elder!
The sudden appearance of the black figure startled everyone in the Judgment Hall.
The black-robed elder comes to the Judgment Hall in person!
"Fourth Elder!" Zhao Qian restrained his aura and saluted indifferently.
Zhao Qian had extraordinary talent and was a favored child of Chongyang Sect. When he went out for training two years ago, three black-robed elders and even the deputy sect leader gave him a protective sealing jade talisman, but the fourth elder did not.
This made Zhao Qian feel resentful towards the Fourth Elder.
"Fourth Elder, are you coming to the Judgment Hall to overturn the trial results?" Zhao Qian asked indifferently, feeling a little annoyed.
The fourth elder was a maverick among the black-robed elders, with a strange temper and unwilling to give face to anyone, which even gave the first elder a headache. If the fourth elder wanted to protect Xiao Ye, this matter would be troublesome.
The fourth elder had gray hair, was vigorous, and had deep eyes. He looked much younger than the first elder. He glanced at Zhao Qian and then looked away.
"I have heard about Xiao Ye's deeds. Killing his fellow disciples is indeed a serious crime." The fourth elder said coldly, "I suggest that Xiao Ye be exiled to the Death Swamp. If he can survive after a year, he can return to the sect."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Judgment Hall was filled with gasps of shock.
"The Death Swamp is an extremely dangerous place, with a mortality rate of 99%. Over the years, only disciples who committed heinous crimes were exiled there. Although Xiao Ye violated the sect rules, his crime does not warrant the death penalty." Ling Yang said loudly.
The Death Swamp was a place that was forbidden to the disciples of Chongyang Sect, not to mention Xiao Ye. Even he would feel his scalp tingling when he heard about it.
"Okay, I agree with the Fourth Elder's suggestion." Zhao Qian laughed.
He was just worried that the Fourth Elder would protect Xiao Ye. Exiling him to the Death Swamp was no different from a punishment of execution.
Because let alone a year, Xiao Ye couldn't even last a month.
"Death Swamp?" Hearing this, Xiao Ye felt relieved.
If he had not been forced into a desperate situation, he would naturally not have fought a bloody battle at Chongyang Gate.
Although he could tell from everyone's tone how terrifying the Death Swamp was, the mortality rate there was not 100%, which meant there was hope of survival!
"Zhao Qian, I will pay you back a hundredfold for what happened today!" Xiao Ye clenched his fists.
