Chapter 438 Disciple Wei Ranzhu meets the Sect Master and implores him to show leniency as this is h
"Please invite Taoist Xuanqing to the stage!"
Chen Xuan shouted loudly.
His gaze fell on the formation of disciples of the Nine Yang Divine Sect below.
Taoist Xuanqing stepped out from the crowd.
He was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, carrying a peach wood sword on his back and holding a whisk in his hand.
He leaped forward and landed steadily on the platform. His movements were graceful and easy, causing countless monks below the stage to murmur in admiration.
After Xuanqing stood on the high platform, he held the whisk upside down in his palm and bowed to Chenxuan and others one by one.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, his tone solemn:
"I will give you six hundred taels of mid-grade purple gold spirit stones and ten high-grade Gu Yuan Dan!"
Before he finished speaking, he took out a storage ring from his wide sleeves. Taoist runes were engraved on the surface of the ring.
Xuan Qing took it with both hands and whispered:
"Disciple Xuanqing, thank you, Sect Master, for your generous reward!"
Chen Xuan asked with concern:
"How is the Taoist's recovery?"
Xuan Qing looked calm and replied with a folded hand:
"Thanks to the Sect Master's concern, my Qi and blood have stabilized, and my meridians are gradually unblocking."
Although the words were brief, they revealed a bit of forbearance and tenacity.
However, at this moment, True Man Jiuyang's gaze was directed at Xuanqing's body.
His eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he called out in a deep voice:
"Xuan Qing!"
The sound was like thunder, causing the atmosphere in the whole venue to suddenly freeze.
Xuan Qing's heart tightened, but he didn't show any panic on his face. He turned and walked towards Master Jiuyang, bowing respectfully:
"Master, what instructions do you have?"
True Man Jiuyang narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the aura around Xuanqing.
After a moment, he asked doubtfully:
"There's actually demonic energy lingering within you... and even dragon breath lingering around! Where does this strange phenomenon come from?"
As soon as this statement came out!
All the monks below the stage were shocked and started whispering to each other, but they did not dare to speak loudly for fear of angering the superiors.
Xuanqing thought to himself that this was not good!
His expression was unusually calm.
"Reporting to Master, that demonic energy was obtained by this disciple when he went deep into the secret realm the other day."
"On the way, we encountered a vicious dragon transformed from a dragon. We fought fiercely for two days before finally killing it."
"However, his essence and blood splashed on his body, so he was contaminated with dragon breath and residual demonic energy, but he did not actively absorb it."
Everyone was moved when they heard this!
The fact that he was able to fight the evil dragon for two days without dying, and even killed it, shows that Xuanqing is extremely powerful.
Upon hearing this, True Man Jiuyang nodded slightly:
"Oh I got it!"
Then he took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Xuanqing:
"This is the 'Spirit Calming Pill', which can protect the heart meridians and suppress evil spirits. Take one pill daily for seven days, and it should be able to dispel all evil spirits."
Xuan Qing took it with both hands and bowed deeply:
"Thank you, Master, for the medicine. I will follow your instructions and study hard."
Xuan Qing then left the stage.
Below, the eyes of the monks were still focused on him.
Some were in awe, some were wary, and some secretly wondered whether what Xuanqing said was true.
……
Xuan Qingjing stood in the queue, looking straight ahead.
At this time, Chen Xuan lowered his head and read the bamboo slips in his hand, frowning.
Two names were written on the bamboo slips:
Liu Xiaohan and Wei Ranzhu.
It records in detail the actions of the two people in the trial ground.
He should have been rewarded for his meritorious service, but was punished because his private affair was exposed and he violated the sect's rules.
Chen Xuan was silent for a moment, then said loudly:
"Next, Wei Ranzhu, please come on stage!"
A young man walked out slowly from the Wuji Sect team.
He looked at the platform and his heart began to beat faster!
He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, soared into the air, and landed steadily on the platform.
Pfft!
Wei Ranzhu knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the ground, and said in a trembling voice:
"Disciple Wei Ranzhu pays homage to the Sect Master. I beg you to show leniency to this first offense!"
The whole audience was silent!
Chen Xuan looked stern!
"Wei Ranzhu, your performance in the trial ground is acceptable. You should be rewarded with three hundred taels of mid-grade purple gold spirit stones."
"However, he secretly married his fellow disciple Liu Xiaohan, violating the sect's rules. The offense was serious, so his reward was revoked, his spiritual roots were crippled, and he was demoted to a menial disciple!"
This order came like a bolt from the blue!
Wei Ranzhu was shocked and raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of despair and unwillingness, and he kowtowed repeatedly:
"Master, please understand! I admit my mistake!"
"However, I cannot control my emotions. I beg you to show me mercy and leave me on the path of cultivation!"
"Without spiritual roots, I will never be able to ascend to the immortal path in my lifetime!"
The voice is sad and moving!
Jun Yan, sitting on the throne, was leisurely sipping tea with a smile on his face. He turned to Shuang Yue beside him as if he was watching a play and said frivolously:
"Your people are engaging in romantic relationships in the Trial Grounds, and you won't personally discipline them?"
Shuang Yue's eyes flickered slightly, with a complicated expression. She slowly stood up and said hurriedly:
"Chen Xuan...is the punishment of destroying their spiritual roots too harsh? They are young and emotionally moved, and they may not be intentionally rebellious."
There was an uproar in the audience!
"Did you see that? The Wuji Sect's leader personally pleaded for mercy!"
"Tsk tsk, this is a big show!"
"I bet fifty taels of mid-grade purple gold spirit stones that Wei Ranzhu's spirit roots will never be wasted!"
"Why are you so sure?"
"Have you forgotten what happened between the cat demon and the Emperor? She wasn't even destroyed!"
"That's true... matters of the heart are the hardest to break!"
On the high platform, Chen Xuan scanned the entire audience with cold eyes and shouted:
"Everyone, silence!"
Chen Xuan's voice shocked everyone and the noise stopped instantly.
He continued:
"Is Liu Xiaohan here?"
No one in the audience responded.
Shuangyue looked around the group of female practitioners from the Wuji Sect and finally found Liu Xiaohan at the end of the group.
She ordered coldly:
"Liu Xiaohan, get on stage quickly!"
Liu Xiaohan gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't escape, so he had to fly onto the stage.
Plop!
He knelt on the ground, looked up at Shuangyue, and said in a firm voice:
"Master, this disciple and Ranzhu are truly in love. I beg you to grant our blessing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!
Wei Ranzhu was deeply moved when he heard this, and reached out to hold Liu Xiaohan's hand tightly.
With affectionate eyes and soft words:
"Xiao Han...thank you!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. We'll face it together!"
Liu Xiaohan glanced at him sideways and smiled with relief:
"Ranzhu, your words are enough!"
"Let go of my hand first!"
Wei Ranzhu let go as he was told. Liu Xiaohan turned to face Shuangyue, stretched out his left hand, and said resolutely:
"Master, I am willing to cut off one of my fingers to atone for my sin. I only ask that you show some mercy and allow us to become Taoist companions!"
The audience was shocked!
"She actually wanted to cut off her own fingers?!"
"This... this is so decisive!"
"What a love affair!"
"She wanted to cut off her own fingers to save her life. How fun!"
……
Shuangyue's face turned ashen, feeling both heartbroken and helpless.
I saw a cold light condensed at Liu Xiaohan's fingertips, and he slashed at the little finger of his left hand without hesitation.
Blood splattered on the bluestone of the platform, and she held the severed finger in her palm.
She looked at Shuangyue with a pitiful look.
Said softly:
"Master, please accept it!"
Frost Moon remained silent, her pupils dilated!
The whole audience was silent!
Chen Xuan looked solemn.
Snapped!
He closed the bamboo slips in his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Liu Xiaohan! Do you know that dismembering one's own limbs is also a violation of the precepts?"
Liu Xiaohan raised his head and said sincerely:
"I know my crime, but the word 'emotion' has nothing to do with my technique or sect rules."
"If your heart can still beat, you have the right to love."
Her words shocked everyone's heart.
Frost Moon closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, tears were already glistening in them.
She suddenly raised her hand, and a ray of light lifted up Liu Xiaohan's broken arm, and the technique of stopping bleeding and regenerating flesh was quietly performed.
"It's not a serious crime!"
"However, the sect's laws cannot be abolished."
"You two have violated the sect's rules and should be severely punished!"
"But from today on, you will be banished to the 'Hanyuan Cave' and face the wall for three years to reflect on your mistakes."
"If you don't change your mind after three years, we can discuss whether you stay or leave!"
Wei Ranzhu suddenly looked up, his eyes lit up, and he was secretly delighted.
Thinking secretly:
The sect leader finally softened his heart!
He was about to say thank you when Jun Yan suddenly chuckled and put down the teacup.
"Haha, interesting, really interesting!"
"Hanyuan Cave is where ancient demon spirits are imprisoned. Nine out of ten people who enter go crazy, and one dies."
He glanced sideways at the frosty moon.
"Are you helping me, or are you killing me in disguise?"
Frost Moon said nothing, only looking at the sea of clouds in the distance.
