Xiao Chen ordered coldly. Upon hearing Xiao Chen's order, Grand Elder Chen Mo was taken aback. After staring blankly for a few moments, Chen Mo cautiously said. "Holy Son, Xiao Tianyang is …"
He didn't expect Xiao Chen to actually want to kill Xiao Tianyang. Chen Mo originally wanted to remind Xiao Chen that Xiao Tianyang was a member of the Xiao Family, but before he could finish, Xiao Chen coldly interrupted him.
"Nothing can be accomplished without rules. The Sacred Palace has its own rules. Don't tell me that just because you're a member of the Xiao Family, you can violate them without restraint? Inciting the disciples to riot is already a capital offense. No matter who you are, you must be punished according to the law. Grand Elder, if you can't do it, I'll just replace you with someone else. "
Xiao Chen was already somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Mo's attitude. In Xiao Chen's opinion, Chen Mo had too many concerns and wasn't as decisive as a grand elder.
Sensing Xiao Chen's unwillingness, Chen Mo hurriedly nodded in response and repeatedly promised that he would handle the matter well.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen dismissed Chen Mo.
After Chen Mo left, Xiao Chen sat alone in the main hall with an ugly expression on his face. Xiao Tianyang had indeed gone too far this time. Xiao Chen had originally planned to spare Xiao Tianyang's life and expel him from the Sacred Palace, but since Xiao Tianyang was courting death, there was no one to blame but himself.
Xiao Tianyang clearly didn't expect Xiao Chen's anger to be so fierce and come so quickly. It had only been half a day since the Xiao Family's young masters took action, but the entire Dustless Temple's Punishment Hall was mobilized under the leadership of Gudu Wuya and Huangfu Ao. They immediately began arresting people in the Dustless Temple.
All the young masters and young ladies who participated in this incident were arrested and locked up in the Dustless Temple's dungeon to await their execution.
Xiao Chen's actions were swift and merciless. Following the actions of the Law Enforcement Hall, the disciples who had been in an uproar in the Unsullied Sacred Temple instantly fell silent and no longer objected to Xiao Chen's decision.
As they watched the Punishment Hall wantonly arrest people, the people of the Unsullied Sacred Hall finally realized that resisting the chosen one Xiao Chen here was absolutely courting death. It was laughable that they had thought that they could resist Xiao Chen by joining forces. Little did they know that this would only enrage Xiao Chen even more.
The arrest didn't last long and ended in less than two hours. As for Xiao Tianyang, after he was personally arrested by Gudu Wuya, he was still shouting mischievously along the way.
"Let me go! What are you doing? Do you people from the Disciplinary Hall want to die? Do you know who I am? I'm the chosen one Xiao Chen's cousin. How dare you arrest me? "
Xiao Tianyang was still using Xiao Chen's authority to act tyrannically even though he was at death's door. Little did he know that as soon as he finished speaking, Gudu Wuya didn't give him any face and directly slapped him.
"I know you're from the Xiao Family, but the chosen one personally ordered your arrest. So, save it."
The arrest of Xiao Tianyang was personally ordered by Xiao Chen, so Gudu Wuya and the others didn't feel the slightest pressure. Xiao Tianyang was stunned when he heard that. The development of the situation seemed to be completely different from what he had imagined.
After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Tianyang opened his mouth and shouted again. "I don't believe it! I want the chosen one, I want my cousin Xiao Chen, let me go …"
Xiao Tianyang shouted that he wanted to see Xiao Chen, but Gudu Wuya and the others obviously ignored him and directly locked him up in the dungeon.
Following the Disciplinary Hall's thunderous actions, the situation in the Wuchen Sacred Hall quickly quieted down. However, the other nine sacred halls of the Sacred Palace naturally noticed the commotion in the Wuchen Sacred Hall over the past few days.
The Chosen were all curious about what was going on with Xiao Chen. Why did he make such a big move? Some people didn't know what had happened in the Wuchen Sacred Hall, but people like Chen Ling, Long Qing and the others who were more familiar with Xiao Chen naturally knew why Xiao Chen was doing this.
However, whether they knew the reason or not, the Chosen had no intention of interfering. Moreover, they couldn't interfere at all. The matters of the Wuchen Sacred Hall weren't something they could meddle in.
Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the Wuchen Sacred Hall. At the same time, in Xiao Chen's residence, Qin Shuirou and the others hurried back after hearing that Xiao Chen had captured the young masters, young ladies and Xiao Tianyang.
Seeing that Xiao Chen's expression was a little ugly, the three women didn't dare to ask too much. They stayed by Xiao Chen's side and asked about what happened. In the end, when they learned that Xiao Chen planned to execute Xiao Tianyang, the three women were a little shocked.
"Husband, Xiao Tianyang is still a member of the Xiao Clan. Isn't it a little too much to kill him like this?" Qin Shuirou looked at Xiao Chen and said.
Xiao Chen's killing of Xiao Tianyang would definitely attract the opposition of some members of the Xiao Clan. When that happened, they would all be a family, and their relationship wouldn't be easy to handle.
Qin Shuirou's worries weren't without reason. However, Xiao Chen had already decided on this matter. Since Xiao Tianyang liked to cause trouble, then he would execute him as an example to others.
Since he had already made his decision, Xiao Chen said calmly after hearing Qin Shuirou's words. "Xiao Tianyang must die. However, who is he? He has violated the rules of the palace and must be punished."
Xiao Chen had already made up his mind. Qin Shuirou and the others didn't say anything else. They understood Xiao Chen's character very well. They knew that Xiao Chen was very stubborn. Once he had decided on something, it was basically impossible to change his mind.
On the second day after Xiao Tianyang and the others were captured, the re-examination of all the disciples of the Wuchen Sacred Hall officially began.
From the Prospective Saints to the ordinary disciples, everyone had to go through the re-examination. At the same time, if they failed the examination, they would be directly demoted to the rank of general until they were demoted to a nominal disciple.
No one dared to disobey Xiao Chen. Therefore, every disciple of the Wuchen Sacred Hall attached great importance to this examination. They didn't want to be directly kicked out of the Wuchen Sacred Hall and be demoted to a nominal disciple with no status to speak of.
The examination was completely handed over to Chen Mo and the other elders. Under the control of the elders, the examination was carried out in an orderly manner.
However, it was naturally impossible to complete the examination with so many people in a day. According to the plan, the re-examination would last for seven days. During these seven days, all the disciples had to complete the examination.
While Xiao Chen was re-examining the disciples of the Wuchen Sacred Hall, in a courtyard in the Lingshan Commandery City's Xiao Clan. This courtyard was the residence of Xiao Tianyang's parents. Xiao Tianyang's parents, who were used to living a life of luxury, were currently sitting in the front hall with a worried expression.
Xiao Tianyang's father was sighing constantly without his usual dignity. The woman beside him was sobbing softly. At the same time, over a dozen Xiao Clan members were sitting in a circle in the front hall.
