Ji Tianxing had a bad premonition when he saw Lu Mingyang appear with the Black Deacon.
He immediately understood that this was all part of Ji Ling's scheme!
He and Ji Ke were both tricked by Ji Ling and Jian Yu and Lu Mingyang were her accomplices!
At this moment, the Black Deacon walked to the middle of the field and shouted angrily, "Stop!"
"The Disciplinary Deacon is here. Don't you dare be so arrogant!"
If the Disciplinary Deacon had come a moment later, Ji Tianxing would have killed Ji Ling.
However, since the Disciplinary Deacon was here, he no longer had the chance to kill Ji Ling and could only reluctantly stop.
Ji Ling sneered in her heart but pretended to be on the verge of death. She reported to the Disciplinary Deacon, "Deacon, you came at the right time!"
"Ji Tianxing, that bastard, wanted to kill me! Deacon, you must seek justice for me! "
The Disciplinary Deacon looked at Ji Ling and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why are you here and why are you killing each other? "
Without waiting for Ji Tianxing to explain, Ji Ling spoke first, "Deacon, this is what happened!"
"Ji Tianxing and I both came from Qingyun Kingdom and we had a grudge in the secular world. After we entered the sect, we both entered the Storm Courtyard. He always wanted to take revenge on me but never had the chance.
"Coincidentally, I have a niece called Ji Ke who was cultivating in the White Dew Courtyard. Ji Tianxing tricked her to come here and used her as a hostage to force me to submit to him!
"After I heard the news, I brought Senior Jian Yu to save Ji Ke. I didn't expect that … Ji Tianxing, that evil bastard, would injure Ji Ke and push her down the cliff!
"After the matter was exposed, he even wanted to kill me and Jian Yu! Fortunately, Deacon, you came in time. Otherwise, we would be dead! "
Ji Tianxing was so angry that he was about to go crazy. His body emitted a thick murderous intent as he stared at Ji Ling.
"Ji Ling! You despicable bastard! You're worse than a pig or a dog! "
"You clearly tricked me and Ji Ke into coming here. You were the one who personally pushed Ji Ke off the cliff. How dare you slander me and slander me!"
"How can there be such a vicious and shameless bastard in this world?"
Ji Ling sneered and explained, "Ji Tianxing, you're really funny!"
"Ji Ke is my niece. I've always doted on her. How could I push her off the cliff?"
"Even if you want to quibble and slander me, please use your brain!"
Hearing Ji Tianxing's words, the disciplinary deacon frowned and gloomily looked at Ji Tianxing.
Just then, Jian Yu crawled out of the woods.
He was covered in blood and mud, looking as miserable as Ji Ling.
When he saw the Disciplinary Deacon, it was as if he had seen his savior. He quickly endured his injuries and bowed: "Disciple Jian Yu greets Deacon!"
"I can testify for Ji Ling! After Ji Ling received the news, he invited me to come to Jade Sword Peak to save his niece. "
"Unfortunately, when we arrived, we saw Ji Tianxing pushing Ji Ke off the cliff! We were so angry that we wanted to capture Ji Tianxing and hand him over to the sect for punishment. "
"I didn't expect Ji Tianxing to be so strong. He actually wanted to kill us to silence us and cover up the evidence!"
"Deacon, you saw it with your own eyes when you came just now. Everything this disciple said is true!"
At this moment, Lu Mingyang hurriedly added: "Deacon, I can also testify for Ji Ling. Ji Tianxing has a personal grudge with him and has always been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on him!"
"Moreover, Ji Tianxing stole a spirit fruit from the Spiritual Herbal Garden on the second day after entering the Fengyun Courtyard. He was punished by Deacon Han of the Fengyun Courtyard."
"A despicable and sinister person like Ji Tianxing is simply a disgrace to our sect! Now that he has committed such a heinous crime, I hope Deacon will punish him severely! "
Ji Ling, Jian Yu, and Lu Mingyang were in cahoots. They all insisted that Ji Tianxing killed Ji Ke and wanted to silence him.
Ji Tianxing was so angry that he wanted to go berserk, but he couldn't defend himself.
He had no evidence and no one to testify for him. Of course, the Disciplinary Deacon wouldn't believe him.
After a while, the Disciplinary Deacon asked about the situation and ordered in a deep voice: "Ji Tianxing, Ji Ling, and Jian Yu, this matter is very serious. I will definitely investigate it thoroughly!"
"Before the investigation is completed, the three of you have to follow me back to the Disciplinary Hall to await your punishment!"
"In addition, I will immediately send orders to send people to search for Ji Ke at the bottom of the cliff …"
After that, the Disciplinary Deacon led everyone away from Jade Sword Peak and returned to the Disciplinary Hall at the peak of Towering Sky Peak.
Ji Tianxing, Ji Ling, and Jian Yu were locked up in three quiet rooms in the Discipline Hall, awaiting the Discipline Hall's investigation and judgment.
Not only that, but the Disciplinary Hall also sent people to search for Ji Ke's whereabouts at the foot of Jade Sword Peak.
… …
Half a day quickly passed.
In the Disciplinary Hall's third quiet room, Ji Tianxing was sitting in a corner, expressionlessly looking up at the small window on the wall.
This quiet room was only three meters in radius. There was nothing in the room, not even a chair.
The floor and walls were all made of dark brown boulders, and there was an iron window the size of a human head on the wall.
Through the iron window, one could only see a palm-sized piece of sky outside.
Night had already fallen, and the sky outside the window was gloomy.
Ji Tianxing had been sitting in the cold corner for an entire afternoon. His mood had long since changed from anger and irritation to indifference and helplessness.
He knew the truth of the matter and had repeatedly told the Disciplinary Deacon.
However, the Sky Pillar Sect's rules were strict, and the Disciplinary Deacon wouldn't believe his one-sided story.
Before the matter was thoroughly investigated, the only thing he could do was obediently stay in the quiet room and wait for the Disciplinary Hall's judgment.
He had long since made up his mind that after this matter was over, he would find an opportunity to kill Ji Ling and take revenge!
At this moment, he was most worried about Ji Ke, but there was nothing he could do. He could only silently pray for Ji Ke.
"Ke Ke, nothing must happen to you. You must not die!"
"I will definitely clear your name and avenge you by killing Ji Ling! I swear! "
The quiet room was deathly silent, and time seemed to pass very slowly.
After an unknown period of time, someone opened the door to the quiet room.
A black-robed Deacon walked into the room and looked at Ji Tianxing with an indifferent expression. He said in a deep voice, "Ji Tianxing, come out!"
Ji Tianxing immediately stood up and anxiously asked, "Sir Deacon, have you found Ji Ke? How is she? "
The Deacon glanced at him and coldly said, "Ji Ke isn't dead, but she's on the verge of death and unconscious."
Ji Tianxing finally let out a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's good that she's not dead! I knew Ke Ke was lucky and wouldn't die like this! "
"Come with me!" The Deacon ordered in a deep voice.
"Where to?" Ji Tianxing subconsciously asked, "Has the Disciplinary Hall finished their investigation and wants to let me out?"
The Deacon looked at him expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "The matter hasn't been completely investigated, but it's basically confirmed that you murdered your fellow disciples!"
"However, we still need to wait for Ji Ke to wake up before we can make a final conclusion."
"Before Ji Ke wakes up, the Disciplinary Hall has decided to imprison you in the Dark Wind Cave in the back mountain. You should properly reflect on your actions!"
"What? That's impossible! " Ji Tianxing immediately said anxiously, "It was clearly Ji Ling who plotted against me and Ji Ke. Ji Ke and I are good friends. How could I harm her!"
"Cut the crap!" The Deacon coldly said, "You don't have any evidence to prove your innocence, so you must abide by the Disciplinary Hall's investigation!"
"Come with me to the Dark Wind Cave now!"
