However, if they continued to make mistakes, once they were exposed, they would never be able to see the light of day in the future.
Seeing that they did not speak, Fang Tianhan immediately became anxious, and his expression became extremely unsightly. It was these people who had invited him to help them, and they had even said that they owed him a favor. Now that he was completely on their side, they were not cooperating. What were they trying to do?
This made Fang Tianhan have a bad feeling. They wouldn't do anything rash, right?
The Poison Sect Master glanced at them and could faintly see that something was wrong from their expressions.
He stood up and released a majestic aura as he said in a dignified voice, "It's best if you tell the truth about this matter. Consider this a chance for you, so cherish it."
The First Elder also slowly said, "It's fine if you don't say anything. We can use the Time Reversal Technique to see what happened, but it will cost us a lot. However, if we have to pay a great price to investigate this matter, your punishment will only be heavy. "
The ten Pavilion Masters and many Pavilion Elders agreed.
This was originally a trivial matter, and it would be fine as long as they talked it out. However, if their stubbornness caused them to pay a great price, then it was reasonable for them to be punished more severely.
As the First Elder and Second Elder spoke, not to mention Zhou Shancai, Zhou Shanlin, Changsun Shan, and the others, even Fang Tianhan's body trembled, his eyes filled with fear. They were going to be serious and ruthless.
On the other hand, Xiao Yang, Chen Zhifu, and the others were not nervous at all. Instead, they relaxed and revealed faint smiles. In the end, evil could not defeat justice, and they were happy about this.
Zhou Shancai, Zhou Shanlin, and Changsun Shan secretly glanced at Fang Tianhan from the corners of their eyes, wanting to hear his opinion.
However, Fang Tianhan's face was pale, and he was covered in cold sweat. It was not a good sign, so the three of them were even more certain of their thoughts.
Zhangsun Shan hurriedly said, "Elders, Pavilion Masters, Xiao Yang did not steal my storage ring. I gave it to him. I was wrong in this matter. I attacked them as soon as I came to the resting area. I am sorry for this. I admit my mistake."
"Hmph!"
Poison Sect Master Wu Zun's cultivation erupted. He let out a heavy snort with a stern expression.
With the eruption of this aura, Changsun Shan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. His body was trembling and his face was pale. He was terrified to the extreme.
When Fang Tianhan heard Zhangsun Shan's words, his eyes widened and he staggered. His legs went soft and he fell to the ground. His mind went blank. He knew that he was done for. He had been betrayed. Damn Zhangsun Shan.
If they all agreed that Xiao Yang was the perpetrator, they might still have a chance to turn things around. However, even the victims had changed their confessions. There was no chance for them to turn things around.
These useless cowards, these damned idiots, they had sold him out just like that. To think that they had even asked for his help at the foot of the mountain. He really wanted to shout "F * ck you!"
After Zhangsun Shan admitted his mistake, Zhou Shanlin, Zhou Shancai and the others could no longer hold on. They all knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes, admitting that they had given away their storage rings.
Their confessions immediately cleared Xiao Yang's name.
"Fang Tianhan, what do you have to say for yourself?"
The Poison Sect Master was furious. His face was filled with rage and his fierce gaze looked like he wanted to eat someone alive.
A disciple of the Poison Sect dared to publicly slander a new disciple. How abominable. If news of this got out, the Poison Sect would lose face.
"Sect Master, please calm down."
Fang Tianhan immediately dropped to his knees, begging for mercy and admitting his wrongs.
He confessed, "I don't know what happened either. When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw them fighting and heard Zhou Shancai, Zhangsun Shan, and the others pleading for justice. They personally said that Xiao Yang had stolen their storage rings. It's all true. I'm innocent. "
He felt very wronged and tried to shirk responsibility.
"Hmph."
"You're innocent? You believe everything they say? Don't you know how to investigate and gather evidence? If you don't have proof, then don't judge. You publicly slandered Xiao Yang's group, which is completely unfair. If you're innocent, then who isn't? "
With a cold snort, the Poison Sect's sect master flew into a rage and roared at Fang Tianhan.
"Fang Tianhan is no longer a disciple of our sect. Our Poison Sect doesn't need a shameless person like him."
He immediately issued an expulsion order, stripping Fang Tianhan of his position in the Poison Sect.
"Ah, no! Sect Master, give me another chance! I beg you, give me another chance!"
He cried out, his face ashen.
Once he left the Poison Sect, he would become an old man with nothing. He was nothing.
In the past, he'd relied on his status as a Poison Sect disciple to receive courteous hospitality no matter which city he went to. Even if he flaunted his strength, no one could do anything to him. But without that status, he was treated coldly, worse than a beggar.
"Noisy!"
The Poison Sect Master roared. With a stomp of his foot, he unleashed his cultivation and sent Fang Tianhan flying out of the hall.
"Hurry up and scram, or I'll take back all the cultivation you've learned in the Poison Sect."
The Poison Sect Master didn't give him any face, his face expressionless.
Hearing this, Fang Tianhan had no choice but to hatefully leave, his heart filled with unwillingness.
"Damned Xiao Yang! Damned Changsun Shan and Zhou Shancai! I won't let you have it easy!"
Fang Tianhan cursed as he left, his expression indignant.
Inside the hall:
Changsun Shan, Zhou Shancai, Zhou Shanlin, and the others panicked when they saw Fang Tianhan being punished so severely. They broke out in cold sweat and felt uneasy.
They'd committed many crimes. First, they'd slandered Xiao Yang at the foot of the mountain and even deceived Fang Tianhan into making the wrong judgment. Second, they'd originally been on Fang Tianhan's side, but in order to protect themselves, they'd betrayed him. How heartless.
How could people like them have a good ending?
"Do you know your wrongs?"
The Poison Sect Master's gaze landed on them once more.
"We know our wrongs, we know our wrongs, we know our wrongs. Sect Master, please show mercy and give us another chance."
Changsun Shan, Zhou Shancai, and the others hurriedly begged for mercy, their expressions sincere.
The second elder stepped forward. "Sect Master, since it's their first offense, why don't you give them a chance? The sect really does need new blood right now."
The third elder agreed. "That's right, Sect Master. Who doesn't make mistakes in life? As long as they change, there's nothing better."
