Chapter 120 The Trial of the Evildoers in Wuji Palace
When Shangqing Zhenren arrived, Lingxiang was already standing on the Hunyuan Platform, which surprised him greatly.
Normally Lingxiang never cares about the sect's affairs. Even if there is something, she has to ask someone to come and ask for help. If it is an urgent matter, Elder Zhaoming has to transform herself. Why is she so active today?
"Brother, are you looking at me like this because you think I have neglected the sect on a daily basis?" Lingxiang said while holding the Fire Spirit Pearl. It was really cold in the middle of the night.
Upon hearing this, Shangqing Zhenren smiled and was about to say something, but he saw a group of elders filing in from outside the hall.
As soon as Master Zhaoming entered the hall, he started shouting.
"Master, I heard that the criminal was caught? Who is this traitor?"
As an elder of a sect, it was really inappropriate to speak like this. Zhenren Chengxin hurriedly pulled him and advised him to pay attention to his identity. Zhenren Zhaoming snorted and followed the elders to the Hunyuan stage.
When Shangqing Zhenren saw that everyone had stopped, he ordered the prisoner to be brought up.
When Hui Wu was brought to the palace, the elders were really shocked - his face, which was once handsome, was now hideous. His face was covered with scratches and blood, and his eyes were filled with hostility.
Lingxiang threw a medicine bottle down the stage and told Guanxu to apply it. Guanxu took it and was about to apply the medicine when he heard Huiwu say angrily, "Don't pretend to be kind. I won't accept your tricks."
All the elders took a breath when they heard this. How did he, a man who used to be quiet, become like this?
Master Zhao Ming had a bad temper. Upon hearing his words, he immediately started yelling and cursing:
"You filthy fool, you didn't appreciate Elder Fu Cang's kindness, but you actually said such rude words. You are really outrageous!"
Master Zhaoming originally wanted to teach Huiwu a lesson, but Lingxiang spoke up to stop him.
"Fifth Senior Brother, please don't get angry with him. It's not worth it for him." Then he instructed Guanxu, "This medicine is pill powder. It is very effective for external injuries. Just blow it on his face. There is no need to apply it."
Guanxu followed his instructions and poured a handful of the powder into his hands, then blew it on Huiwu's face. Huiwu wanted to dodge, but he was trapped in the Cambrian Soul Binding Technique and couldn't move at all, so the powder was not wasted much.
But he really didn't want to accept the favor of Lingxiang, and he actually fell to the ground and rolled. Seeing this, Hanwu quickly pinched his hand seals, and Huiwu immediately knelt in the hall and couldn't move.
"Hmph! You look so kind and tolerant, but in fact you are full of evil intentions. You even set a trap for me! You are so shameless!" Hui Wu cursed when he saw that he was trapped tightly by the magic and had no way to escape.
Lingxiang didn't care at all, she walked down the Hunyuan platform and stared at Huiwu motionlessly. Huiwu's heart suddenly felt empty, but he continued to curse.
"Go ahead and curse me, even if you curse until dawn I can wait. If you still have the strength at dawn, I will wait until dark to see how long you can curse." Lingxiang looked down at Huiwu and said.
After hearing this, Hui Wu stopped talking and just looked back at Ling Xiang viciously.
"What? You don't want to scold me anymore? I was just about to grab a handful of pine seeds to eat!" Lingxiang glanced at Huiwu and said, "You dared to collude with the demons. I thought you were a powerful person, but you are just a small figure."
Hui Wu snorted and cursed him as despicable when he heard this.
"I'm despicable? You are Gao Chong's? Gao Chong must be playing dirty tricks behind my back?" As he said that, he slapped Hui Wu in the face.
The elders were startled when they saw this, but Lingxiang asked, "Yuan Hui was only ten years old, and you brutally killed him. And Ah Wei, you two were fellow disciples for several months, and you even practiced together. How could you be so cruel?!"
As he said this, he slapped Huiwu again with his backhand.
Seeing this, Master Fuyin quickly got off the Hunyuan Platform and grabbed Lingxiang. He knew that Lingxiang must be angry, but he still had to interrogate her. At this time, Huiwu laughed, and his voice was like a ghost, very strange.
"Why can't I do it? I just told them that there is no hope of promotion in this life, but I didn't expect that they would be so content with the status quo. And that Yuan Hui even said that he would obey the arrangements of the master! Hahahaha! What a great arrangement of the master, that he arranged a title of a gatekeeper for many years? A bunch of cowards!"
Zhao Ming Zhenren was so angry that he wanted to walk down from the Hun Yuan Platform. Fortunately, Zhenren Cheng Xin stopped him from walking down. However, he still couldn't help cursing:
"You ignorant scum!"
Hui Wu laughed again upon hearing this; his laughter was hoarse and as eerie as a millstone.
"I am ignorant? Even if I am ignorant, I am still better than those fools you chose! How can they compare to me? You actually accepted them as your subordinates. Isn't it because of their prominent family backgrounds that you are like this? They are all hypocritical, saying that they want to cultivate their character, but they have developed a fawning and sycophantic character!"
It turned out that he had developed a mental demon because he had not been promoted to the inner sect.
Lingxiang looked back at Master Fuyin, then at Master Shangqing, who nodded at her.
"You mean someone of distinguished origin? You must be talking about Zhao Wuyang, right? His father is the Lord of Guyang City, so he is indeed of distinguished status. And Bo Luohui is the son of a tribal leader, so he is also noble. Even Yinqiao, who comes from a demon-killing family, has a sister who is a noble concubine in the palace."
"You are not content with mediocrity. I saw it the first time I saw you. You have a stubborn face and strive to be at the forefront of your practice. But have you ever thought about what you are missing? Are all those who are promoted to the inner sect from high-ranking families? Take Banxia for example. She was born in a remote and poor place. How could she be accepted by the elder in charge of the scripture?"
"Bah!" Hui Wu suddenly spat, "Don't try to be so eloquent in front of me. I saw it clearly. Banxia entered the sect easily from the beginning. It was the backdoor opened by old man Donghui. How dare you mention her in front of me? If you want to kill her, don't be so long-winded!"
"In that case, I will just ask one question. When you were performing martial arts earlier, I saw you use the Stepping Clouds Step and Covering Water Sword Technique. These two Yuanqing Sect techniques require Qi training before they can be practiced. How could a new disciple like you be able to use them?"
Hui Wu lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "You want to know? Come closer and I will tell you."
Lingxiang was about to approach, but Master Fuyin stopped her.
"If you want to tell me, tell me. If you don't want to tell me, it doesn't matter. Your cultivation will be wasted anyway. I don't care how you learned it!"
Lingxiang turned back to indicate that it was okay, and Master Fuyin hesitated for a long time before finally letting her go.
"You speak!" Lingxiang walked up to Huiwu and said.
"Squat down and I'll tell you quietly."
Lingxiang squatted down as she was told, and Huiwu pounced over immediately. He thought he could knock Lingxiang down and bite her, but he was unexpectedly pushed away by Lingxiang with a flick of her finger.
"You want to use the clichéd routine from mortal worldly stories to plot against me?" Lingxiang sneered, and turned back to Hunyuantai with Master Fuyin.
"My fellow brothers, I have finished my questions. I have indeed overstepped the boundaries this time. I will reflect on my mistakes in seclusion in the future. However, the darkness in this person's heart is hard to get rid of, and he has done such a heartless thing. It is truly unforgivable!"
When Master Qianyuan heard this, he was surprised. Even though Lingxiang had been interrogating the villain for half a night, these old guys just kept company. He didn't expect Lingxiang to care about them. Master Shangqing only made eye contact with Lingxiang for a moment, and then closed his eyes and didn't ask any questions. Not to mention Master Donghui, he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"Ahem..." Master Qianyuan cleared his throat to hide the embarrassment in the hall, "Since we have caught him red-handed and he is so unrepentant, let's abolish his cultivation and lock him up in the cliff of regret!"
