Ye Xuan already understood the reason for the matter as he looked at the Law Enforcement Disciple walking over with the chains in his hand and heard their words. He looked at the sneering Zhang Yuansong, Elder Wu, and Zhang Hen.
Obviously, these three fellows must have gone to the Law Enforcement Hall and the Penal Hall to complain about him and invited the Law Enforcement Elder and the Penal Elder.
Ye Xuan didn't resist when facing the law enforcement disciple who was walking over with the chains. Instead, his gaze descended onto the righteous and impartial Law Enforcement Elder and Law Enforcement Elder as he spoke in a low voice.
"May I ask if the two elders are the Law Enforcement Elder and the Penal Elder?"
"That's right, I am the Law Enforcement Elder, Tie Chen. This is the Law Enforcement Elder, Tie Xin!"
The Law Enforcement Elder, Tie Chen, said.
His voice was emotionless, devoid of any emotion.
"May I ask, Law Enforcement Elder, what crime have I committed?"
Ye Xuan looked straight at the Law Enforcement Elder, Tie Chen, and asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"You already know the answer!" You did not respect the sect's laws, violated the sect's rules, disrespected your elders, and injured your fellow sect members. You injured Elder Wu, Deacon Zhang, and Zhang Hen to such a state. This is a serious crime that cannot be easily forgiven!
"The Law Enforcement Elder's voice was still devoid of any emotion.
"I don't know this Zhang Hen, and I have no enmity with him. Why would I attack him?"
"In addition, I have never met Deacon Zhang and Elder Wu before. There is no grudge between us. May I ask, Elder, why did I injure them like this?"
Ye Xuan's voice was still neither servile nor overbearing.
"Oh? From what you're saying, there's something else going on? "
The Law Enforcement Elder's eyes flashed, but his voice still didn't fluctuate.
Ye Xuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the Law Enforcement Elder ask this question. If he didn't have no other choice, he really didn't want to fight the Law Enforcement Elder and the Law Enforcement Elder head-on.
Moreover, from the looks of it, these two elders should be impartial and impartial.
"That day, when I passed by the Spirit Stream, I saw this Zhang Hen tying a herb picking girl to a tree and beating her up. That was why I stopped him and clashed with him! Zhang Hen was no match for me and was knocked to the ground by me … He was unwilling to accept this, so he called for Deacon Zhang to help him! As a deacon of the sect, Deacon Zhang attacked me indiscriminately and was defeated by me in the end! "
"This Elder Wu is the same. As an elder of the sect, he attacked me without any reason. I fought back and defeated him!"
Ye Xuan said with a cold expression.
Pausing for a moment, he pointed at Zhang Hen and said, "According to what I know, this fellow called Zhang Hen is Attendant Zhang's grandson. Relying on the fact that he has Attendant Zhang's support in the sect, he usually commits all sorts of crimes, bullies the weak, and does all sorts of bad things. He can be said to be completely devoid of conscience … As an Enforcement Elder, why don't you care?"
"Humph! What a load of nonsense!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zhang Yuansong's expression turned ice-cold as he coldly said, "Who doesn't know that I, Zhang Yuansong, am a fair and strict person? I will never bend the law for personal gain."
"That's right, this is blatant framing! I, Zhang Hen, treat people with friendliness and integrity. I'm deeply liked by my fellow disciples. How could I possibly do those things that you said? "
"You're saying that I beat up a little herb-gathering girl? This was utter nonsense! I have my fellow disciples from the sect to testify, so I ask the two elders to uphold justice for me! "
At this moment, Zhang Hen also said in a deep voice.
How could Zhang Hen and the others not have thought that Ye Xuan would turn around and accuse him? They'd already arranged everything in advance.
"You have a witness?"
The Enforcement Elder's eyes flashed.
"Junior Brother Zhang Chen, Junior Sister Bi Xue, and the others can testify for me!"
Zhang Hen said.
"Men, call Zhang Chen, Bi Xue …"
Law Enforcement Elder Tie Chen shouted.
As his words fell, Zhang Chen, Bi Xue, and the others were quickly summoned over.
"Tell me what you saw."
"Reporting to the two elders … That day, Junior Sister Bi Xue and I were passing by the stream and saw Junior Brother Zhang Hen applying medicine to the injuries of the little girl who was gathering herbs. In the end, this person charged over and beat Junior Brother Zhang Hen up without saying anything. Junior Brother Zhang Hen then called Deacon Zhang over to uphold justice for him, but he didn't think that he would actually use his strength to act rudely towards Deacon Zhang and start fighting with him. Later on, when Elder Wu rushed over to help, they also started fighting …"
The disciple named Zhang Chen hurriedly said.
"Hmm, that's right..." Elders, that's what Senior Brother Zhang Chen said. "
"Yes, this brat is a ruthless madman who has no respect for his elders. He strongly recommends that we expel him from the sect!"
Bi Xue and the other female disciples all chimed in at this moment.
After listening to their story, the Law Enforcement Elder's face was as gloomy as water. The face of the Law Enforcement Elder, who hadn't said a word, also turned completely cold.
"Ye Xuan, do you still have anything to say now?"
The Law Enforcement Elder asked coldly.
"They are simply …"
These people were hired by them to give false testimony. We will know the truth of the matter once we find the person in question, Xia Xiao Xiao. "
Ye Xuan's expression was ice-cold and gloomy.
"Alright, I'll convince you today …" "Men, bring the herb gathering girl, Xia Xiao Xiao, over!"
Seeing that Ye Xuan still dared to quibble in front of the irrefutable evidence, the Law Enforcement Elder said in a stern voice.
"Reporting to Elder, I just received news that the medicine boy, Xia Xiao Xiao, was severely injured. During the process of picking herbs, he fell from the cliff and died!"
Very quickly, a law enforcement officer ran back to report.
"What?" Xia Xiao Xiao is dead? "
Hearing this, Ye Xuan's expression changed drastically. His face was filled with disbelief.
A terrifying killing intent spread out from his body.
These fellows were simply too ruthless. In order to cover up the truth, they actually killed a seven or eight year old girl like Xia Xiao Xiao.
Ye Xuan's heart ached when he thought of Xia Xiao Xiao's cute and pitiful appearance.
As a herb gatherer girl, her life was extremely bitter. She was the child of a poor family and was unable to support them, so she was sold to the sect to train and gather herbs. Normally, she would work hard without complaint and be beaten and scolded. She didn't expect that these fellows would be so heartless that they wouldn't even let off a child as young as Xia Xiao Xiao.
"Ye Xuan, you're truly ruthless. Back then, you severely injured Xia Xiao Xiao!" If it wasn't for her severe injuries, she wouldn't have fallen to her death while picking herbs. It was you who indirectly caused her death! "
Zhang Hen and Zhang Yuansong, the two villains, shouted at Ye Xuan.
How could they possibly leave behind the truth?
"Ye Xuan, what else do you have to say now?"
"Since you have nothing to say, then obediently make a trip to the Penal Hall to accept the sect's trial and punishment! Men, take him away! "
The Disciplinary Elder Tie Xin's face was ice-cold. He could no longer sit back and do nothing as he shouted!
"Stop!"
As soon as he finished speaking, just as the law enforcers were about to take Ye Xuan away, an aged and dignified voice sounded out.
As the voice rang out, under the gazes of the crowd, an old man with the demeanor of an immortal and a young man rushed over with a large number of female disciples.
This old man with the demeanor of an immortal was the Great Elder of the sect, Tian Chen Zi.
This young man was Lan Chen.
These female disciples were the ones that Ye Xuan had witnessed from the stream.
"Grand Elder!"
"Greetings, Grand Elder!"
Seeing the arrival of the Great Elder, everyone respectfully cupped their fists.
Even the Law Enforcement Elder and the Law Enforcement Elder were no exception. Only the guardian elder of the library remained unmoved and continued to doze off on his chair.
When Elder Wu, Deacon Zhang, Zhang Hen, and the others saw the Great Elder's arrival, they were stunned. But when they saw the rows of female disciples behind the Great Elder, their expressions changed drastically, and their hearts were in turmoil.
They never expected that the Great Elder would come and bring all these female disciples with him.
One had to know that in order to seal their mouths, they had bribed these female disciples and given them enough money to keep their mouths shut.
He had thought that nothing would go wrong, but he hadn't expected that he would alarm the Great Elder.
The Great Elder usually went into closed-door cultivation, so why would he come here today?
"Are you hurt?"
The Great Elder ignored everyone's gazes and walked over to Ye Xuan's side as he asked in concern.
"They can't hurt me yet."
Ye Xuan lightly shook his head as he lightly spoke.
"Great Elder, you guys …"
Everyone present couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the Great Elder's attitude towards Ye Xuan.
Elder Wu, Zhang Yuansong, and Zhang Hen's faces darkened as their hearts sank to the bottom.
Judging from the Great Elder's attitude towards that brat, his relationship with the Great Elder was definitely not ordinary.
If that was the case, then things would be troublesome.
"Still not undone?"
Looking at the chains that bound Ye Xuan, the Great Elder's eyes flashed as he sternly said.
"Yes sir!"
Hearing his words, the law enforcement disciple could only undo the chains on Ye Xuan's body.
"Great Elder, this person has committed a serious crime in the sect. As the Great Elder of the sect, you want to openly protect him?"
The Law Enforcement Elder Tie Chen's expression was ugly as he said in a deep voice.
"He committed a heinous crime in the sect? Tie Chen, I'm afraid you've become muddle-headed all these years! "
The Great Elder's eyes flickered with anger as he reprimanded the Law Enforcement Elder.
"Why do you say that, Great Elder?"
The Law Enforcement Elder asked coldly.
"Zhang Hen, Deacon Zhang, Elder Wu, and the others have committed a great crime in the sect.
Blessings, evil deeds, all sorts of evil deeds … "Yet you turn a blind eye to it and turn a deaf ear to it. You just have to target the righteous Ye Xuan.
The Great Elder coldly reprimanded.
"He injured Deacon Zhang, Elder Wu … Yet you say that he acted bravely? Great Elder, I don't think I'm the one who's confused, but you, right? As the Law Enforcement Elder, I will enforce the law impartially. I will not allow you to bend the law and take him away!
"The Law Enforcement Elder, Tie Chen, expressed his attitude with a determined expression.
"He is truly muddle-headed and hopeless!"
The Great Elder let out a cold snort as his gaze fell on the female disciples he brought with him. He said in a deep voice, "Tell them what happened and the truth!"
"Yes, Great Elder!"
The female disciples bowed in agreement, then slowly recounted what they had seen. "That day, when we were wandering in the mountains, we just happened to see Junior Brother Ye Xuan being attracted by his temperament and following him to the stream. At that time, Senior Brother Zhang Hen was whipping a little girl who was picking herbs. In order to conceal the truth of the matter, they even threatened and enticed us afterwards. If it wasn't for Senior Brother Li Chen coming to find us and the Great Elder supporting us, we definitely wouldn't have dared to say anything about this matter!"
"Not only that, Zhang Hen usually relies on the support of Deacon Zhang to do whatever he wants in the sect, bullying men and women, and forcing many female disciples to death …" I hope that the Great Elder can uphold justice for Junior Brother Ye Xuan, eliminate the scourge of the sect, and avenge those disciples who died in vain … "
In the end, the female disciples begged the Great Elder to pay their respects to him.
"It's not like that, you guys are slandering me."
Hearing the words of these people, the expressions of Zhang Hen, Zhang Yuansong, and the others couldn't help but change drastically as they shouted.
"Great Elder, what we said is definitely true. Look, we still have the pills and spirit stones that they gave us when they were bribed to seal our mouths …"
Immediately, these female disciples all took out the pills and spirit stones that they had bribed them to obtain.
These pills were all refined by Zhang Yuansong, and they even had his mark on them …
"And if my guess is correct, the herb gathering girl, Xia Xiaoxiao, was also secretly murdered by them."
Ye Xuan added.
Zhang Hen, Zhang Yuansong, and the others' faces were deathly pale, without a trace of blood to speak of.
"How could this be? "It's not like that..."
Elder Wu's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief. He found it hard to believe the scene before his eyes.
"Zhang Yuansong, is that really how it is?"
He lost his composure and stared angrily at Zhang Yuansong, grabbing his collar and roaring.
He had no idea that Zhang Yuansong and the others had done so many things.
At that time, he was only passing by and saw that Deacon Zhang was being beaten up …
"Zhang Hen, Deacon Zhang …" Now that things have come to this, what else do you want to quibble about?
"The Great Elder's ice-cold gaze fell on Deacon Zhang and the others as he asked coldly.
"Great Elder, it's not like that. They're just spouting nonsense. We have witnesses, you can ask Zhang Chen and the others …"
Zhang Yuansong pointed at Zhang Chen and the others who had testified for them not far away.
"Is that really the case?"
The Great Elder's gaze fell on Zhang Chen and the others.
"Great Elder... I... We were forced. It was Deacon Zhang and the others who gave us benefits and forced us to give false testimony …"
Zhang Chen and the others were so scared that they peed their pants. They knelt on the ground and continuously kowtowed, begging for mercy.
"Bastards! Men, take them down!"
Hearing this, how could the Enforcement Elder, Tie Chen, not know the truth of the matter? He immediately shouted.
"As a deacon of the sect, Zhang Yuansong actually bent the law for personal gain and did things that harmed the sect's deacon. He even allowed Zhang Hen to cause trouble …" Drag him and Zhang Hen together and throw them into the Devouring Bone Cave to suffer the punishment of ants devouring their hearts! "
The Disciplinary Elder, Tie Xin, also judged Zhang Yuansong and Zhang Hen.
"Great Elder, Elder Iron, spare me, I …" We were wrong, we know our wrongs, please spare me, elders! "
Zhang Yuansong and Zhang Hen were scared out of their wits. They hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, but unfortunately, there was nothing.
"Great Elder, I didn't know about these things …" I was wrongly accused, please investigate clearly, Great Elder! "
Elder Wu's face was deathly pale as he pleaded.
"Suppress him and lock him up in the Whip Soul Prison. Interrogate him properly!"
The Great Elder said coldly.
"Come, come back with me!"
Afterwards, his gaze fell onto Ye Xuan as he spoke in a low voice.
"Alright!"
Ye Xuan nodded and left under the Great Elder's lead.
As they watched Ye Xuan leave, as well as Elder Wu, Deacon Zhang, and the others kneeling on the ground, trembling as they kowtowed and begged for mercy, the shock in the hearts of everyone present was indescribable.
They had never thought that the situation would take such a sudden turn.
