Xiao Chen, Chen Yu, and Du Yi sat in the main hall. Of course, as the head of the Disciplinary Hall, Xiao Chen naturally sat at the main seat while Chen Yu sat beside Xiao Chen. As for Du Yi, he could only sit at the lower end.
Once everyone was present, Xiao Chen ordered people to bring Zhou Bowen and the others up. Of course, they were not brought up together, but one by one.
The first was an ordinary disciple. After the Gravitational Stone Punishment the night before, this disciple was already mentally and physically exhausted. His mental defenses had completely collapsed.
Therefore, when he arrived in the main hall, this disciple directly knelt on the ground before Xiao Chen said anything. Seeing this, Du Yi almost shouted angrily. However, when he thought of Chen Yu beside him, Du Yi held himself back in the end.
This disciple couldn't be blamed. It was completely because the Gravitational Stone Punishment was too torturous. One night was as long as a century to this disciple. At this moment, he only wanted to end this nightmare as soon as possible. Therefore, even if Xiao Chen didn't ask, he was actually already planning to admit his guilt.
It was precisely because he had completely shattered these disciples' mental defenses that Xiao Chen decided to put Zhou Bowen and the others on trial in public.
A trace of confidence flashed across his eyes. Xiao Chen sat on the main seat and said in a deep voice, "Do you admit your guilt?"
"I admit my guilt."
The interrogation process was smoother than expected. This disciple immediately admitted his guilt and admitted that he had broken the palace rules. However, this disciple flatly denied that someone was behind this.
Clearly, even though they admitted their guilt, these people didn't dare to drag Du Yi into this, let alone say that Du Yi was behind this.
After interrogating more than ten people in a row, these disciples admitted that they had indeed broken the palace rules and accepted their punishment. However, they refused to admit that someone was behind this.
In this regard, Xiao Chen did not dwell on it too much. He already knew that this would be the result. These disciples did not dare to drag Du Yi down with them, so they only admitted that they had violated the rules of the palace, but did not admit that Du Yi had anything to do with it.
After all, Xiao Chen had never thought that he would be able to topple Du Yi in one go. After all, Du Yi had been in the First Sacred Palace for so many years. It would be strange if he could topple Du Yi so easily.
After a series of interrogations, all 68 people, including Zhou Bowen, admitted that they had violated the rules of the First Sacred Palace. In the end, Xiao Chen announced his newly revised punishment in front of everyone.
In the new punishment, Du Yi's crime of using money to buy his way out was mentioned. According to the requirements of the new punishment, Zhou Bowen and the others were sent out one after another.
For example, they would be imprisoned in the dungeon, given the heavy stone punishment, deducted the corresponding cultivation resources, and so on. In the face of these punishments, Zhou Bowen and the others did not have any objections. They seemed to be willing to accept the punishment.
After the sentencing, Xiao Chen asked the disciples of the Punishment Hall to take Zhou Bowen and the others away. This time, Du Yi was indeed not implicated, but it was undeniable that after this, the dignity of the Punishment Hall had recovered a lot. This was not difficult to see from the expressions of the disciples present.
Moreover, although it was not able to directly implicate Du Yi, it still made him suffer a big loss. In this regard, Xiao Chen was still very happy.
After the sentencing, Xiao Chen looked at Du Yi and smiled. "Senior Brother Du Yi, now do you still think that the Punishment Hall is randomly arresting people and committing crimes in public? Senior Brother Chen Yu is also present. If you have any questions, you can ask. I will definitely answer them for you. "
Zhou Bowen and the others had admitted their guilt. In this way, even if Du Yi was unwilling, what could he do? Du Yi almost crushed his teeth in the face of Xiao Chen's words, but he still suppressed his anger and said.
"Junior Xiao Chen is indeed fair and impartial. I misunderstood earlier. Since the matter is over, I will take my leave."
After speaking, Du Yi immediately stood up and left without waiting for Xiao Chen's reply. However, his face was extremely gloomy. It was obvious that at this moment, Du Yi was in a very bad mood.
After Du Yi left, Xiao Chen looked at the disciples of the First Sacred Palace and said, "Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, from today onwards, the First Sacred Palace will implement a new punishment. I hope that everyone will strictly abide by it. Once you violate the palace rules, regardless of your status, you will be dealt with according to the palace rules."
After speaking, Xiao Chen asked the disciples of the Punishment Hall to disperse the crowd that was still gathered here. As for himself, he and Cheng Yu went to the back hall.
Sitting opposite each other, Chen Yu looked at Xiao Chen and gave him a thumbs up with a smile on his face. "Not bad, Junior Brother. You made Du Yi suffer a great loss today."
Chen Yu had obviously come today because he was bored and had come to watch the show. In response, Xiao Chen replied unhappily, "Senior Brother, isn't all of this caused by you? If you were willing to accept it, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
He and Du Yi were fighting to the death here, but Chen Yu was watching from the side. This made Xiao Chen very unhappy. If it weren't for Chen Yu's laziness, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
In response to Xiao Chen's unhappy complaints, Chen Yu smiled indifferently. "Junior Brother, don't say that. It's not like you don't know Senior Brother's character. If you let me manage such a big mess, Senior Brother will be busy to death. Forget it, this kind of difficult task will naturally be done by the capable."
He was determined to be a hands-off shopkeeper. After his voice fell, Chen Yu paused for a moment, then said casually.
"By the way, Junior Brother, this time you made Du Yi suffer such a great loss. He definitely won't let it go. You have to be more careful in the future. Also, during this period of time, you should stabilize the Punishment Hall. As for other things, you can temporarily put them aside. Du Yi is still in control of the Mission Hall and the Chore Hall. Don't touch him for the time being.
It's not good to pressure him. "Chen Yu intended to temporarily stop delegating power to Du Yi and stabilize it first. In this regard, Xiao Chen naturally raised both hands in agreement. In this way, he could cultivate in peace for a period of time.
However, Xiao Chen obviously misunderstood Chen Yu's intention. The reason why he intended to temporarily stop delegating power to Du Yi was that Chen Yu had something to give to Xiao Chen. For the time being, Xiao Chen had to leave the Ancient Sacred Sect for a period of time.
Before Xiao Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Yu said with a smirk on his face. "Junior Brother, Senior Brother has a task for you to deal with. Go to the Jade Lake Sacred Sect."
Task? Go to the Jade Lake Sacred Sect? Hearing Chen Yu's words, Xiao Chen was stunned at first, but soon recovered and shook his head to refuse without thinking.
"Senior Brother, please find someone else. I don't have time. I have been in the Ancient Sacred Sect for almost a month. Let Junior Brother have a good rest for a period of time."
