The two white-haired old men were both furious, scolding Shi Zhongjian with harsh voices and faces.
Even if the Second Elder tried to defend Shi Zhongjian, it would be useless.
The other elders were also worried and couldn't help but reprimand Shi Zhongjian.
Shi Zhongjian's situation became more and more awkward. He lowered his head even more and looked like he was going to admit his mistake and accept his punishment.
Seeing this, the elders didn't say anything else.
One of the white-haired elders stared at Shi Zhongjian with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice, "Shi Zhongjian, the disaster has already happened. Do you admit your crime?"
Shi Zhongjian just lowered his head and didn't say anything.
The white-haired elder frowned and said again, "As a disciple of the sect, you have to admit your mistake. As long as you admit your mistake and reflect on it, the sect can give you a lighter punishment …"
The elders at the side all hurriedly signaled Shi Zhongjian with their eyes, indicating for him to quickly admit his guilt.
Even Elder Lian Er sent a sound transmission to Shi Zhongjian, "Zhongjian, since things have already come to this, you don't have to insist anymore.
Hurry up and admit your mistake to the elders. Everyone is just going through the motions. Master will plead on your behalf and you won't be severely punished. "
Hearing this, Shi Zhongjian finally raised his head.
He looked at the Second Elder with firm eyes and said calmly in front of everyone, "Elders, you are right. This disciple is still young and lacks experience. My temperament is also too simple. This disciple will work hard to improve in the future.
However, this disciple will not admit his mistake. This disciple also doesn't believe that Big Brother Tianxing is that kind of person!
He is the number one prodigy of the continent. His status is noble and his talent is unparalleled. Why would he scheme against our Hidden God Sect? Why would he come all the way here to harm our sect?
In short, this disciple will not believe it before the truth comes to light … "
Shi Zhongjian's eyes and tone were very firm. Even in the face of the elders' reprimanding, he didn't back down.
But before he could finish speaking, the expressions of all the elders changed, and they all revealed looks of disappointment.
The two white-haired elders were so angry that their faces turned ashen. They looked like they were about to blow their beards and stare.
"Ridiculous! You traitorous disciple is so stubborn! "
"It's hopeless! Second Elder, look at the good disciple you've taught. He's already possessed to such an extent! "
"Since Shi Zhongjian refuses to plead guilty, I ask the elders to sentence him according to the laws of our sect and let him reflect on his mistakes!"
Everyone looked pained and hateful, and they immediately wanted to convict Shi Zhongjian.
The Second Elder was suddenly full of anxiety. She quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Shi Zhongjian. She said to the other elders, "Elders, it's not that I'm partial to my disciple, but there are still some secrets in this matter. Please don't be impatient. The Great Elder had already sent a message to the Sect Leader to ask about the specific situation.
After the Great Elder received the Headmaster's reply, the truth of this matter would come to light. At that time, it wouldn't be too late to convict Shi Zhongjian!
If Shi Zhongjian is really guilty, as his master, I can't absolve myself from the blame. When the time comes, I will also receive punishment! "
The Second Elder's tone was resolute and decisive. It was very firm and contained an unquestionable tone.
When the elders saw her reaction, they couldn't continue to be overbearing. They could only cease their banners and cease their drums as they whispered softly.
"Indeed, she's worthy of being the most protective elder in our sect!"
"Ai …. Second Elder spared no effort to protect this kid!"
"Shi Zhongjian ah Shi Zhongjian, how can you be worthy of your master's nurturing and protection?"
"Alright, let's do as the Second Elder said. Everyone wait for a moment."
Everyone was silent and the main hall quickly quietened down.
Not long after, a tall and sturdy white-haired old man stepped into the main hall with vigorous steps.
His complexion was rosy and his eyes were bright. He was holding a jade slip in his hands and his expression was filled with joy.
When the people in the main hall saw that this person had arrived, they instantly revealed an expectant expression and hurriedly went up to welcome him.
"Great Elder, you're finally back!"
"Great Elder, has the Sect Leader replied to the news?"
"What's the result? Has that kid been sentenced to death by the Sect Leader? "
The elders turned their heads to look at the Great Elder, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Shi Zhongjian also stared at the Great Elder. His fists were secretly clenched in his sleeves. He was obviously nervous and worried.
The Great Elder walked to the middle of the main hall and stood still. He looked around and then raised his hand to signal for everyone to quiet down.
"Everyone, please calm down. There's no need to be anxious or worried. I've just received the Sect Leader's personal order!"
As he spoke, he raised the jade slip in his hand.
Everyone's mood became even more anxious. They looked at the jade slip expectantly and couldn't wait to know the answer.
The Great Elder revealed a trace of a smile and continued, "We've all misunderstood that Young Master Ji. Not only is he the continent's number one prodigy, he also has no ill intentions towards our sect.
Moreover, Young Master Ji has a very deep relationship with our Sect Leader. He's our sect's distinguished guest!
Young Master Ji has indeed come to our sect for a very important matter to discuss with our Sect Leader.
The reason why he trespassed into the forbidden area was because he had no other choice. Everyone, don't worry! "
Hearing the First Elder's words, all the Elders revealed looks of astonishment and began to whisper to each other.
Shi Zhongjian also revealed a look of relief. His face was filled with a proud smile. His fists in his sleeves also slowly relaxed.
"I knew it! Young Master Ji is definitely not that kind of person. He's a peerless prodigy and also my savior. I've never misjudged him! "
He muttered to himself. His tone was filled with excitement and pride.
The Second Elder also clearly breathed a sigh of relief. His face revealed a trace of a smile. He nodded to Shi Zhongjian, indicating that everything was fine.
The two white-haired Elders who were angry before were now the most embarrassed. Their faces didn't look too good.
The two of them didn't dare to look at Shi Zhongjian's expression. Their eyes were somewhat evasive.
At this time, the Great Elder continued, "In addition, I have a piece of good news to announce.
Because of Young Master Ji's arrival, our Sect Leader has ended his seclusion and will come out soon.
When the time comes, our Sect Leader will gather all the Elders and Deacons to publicly announce something!
Although I don't know what it is for now, it's definitely related to our sect's thousand years of foundation! "
Hearing his words, even a fool would know that this matter was definitely related to Ji Tianxing!
Moreover, the elusive Sect Leader Shui had actually appeared because of Ji Tianxing's arrival and wanted to announce something important.
This was enough to show how revered Ji Tianxing's status was! How deep was his relationship with Sect Leader Shui?!
Everyone recalled the scene of them cursing Ji Tianxing and criticizing Shi Zhongjian a moment ago. They instantly felt incomparably ashamed.
The Elders in the hall all revealed looks of shame. They were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to hide in!
