"Greetings, Vice Leader, Elders."
Zhao Xiaojin bowed to them one by one.
"You are Zhao Xiaojin?"
One of the elders asked.
"Yes, I am."
Zhao Xiaojin nodded respectfully.
That elder said, "I heard that you have comprehended the third profound of the Law of Light?"
"Yes."
Zhao Xiaojin waved her hand, and the Holy Light Sword appeared.
"It really is the third profound. Not bad, not bad."
Other than the Tenth Elder, the other elders were full of praise.
Zhao Xiaojin dispersed the Holy Light Sword and silently retreated to the side.
The white-robed old man glanced at the Tenth Elder, then looked at the Vice Leader and said, "Old Man Ye, you called all of us here, is there something important?"
"Yes."
The Vice Leader nodded and said, "But don't worry, it won't take up much of your time."
"That's good."
"This old man is very busy managing such a large Hall of the Exalted."
The white-robed old man chuckled.
"Busy?"
"How do you have the face to say that?"
"Who doesn't know that you hide in the mountains all day long?"
The Vice Leader rolled his eyes.
"Ahem!"
The white-robed old man coughed dryly, looking rather embarrassed.
The Vice Leader glanced at the ten elders and said, "Alright, back to the topic. This time, I called everyone here because I have something to investigate, Zhao Xiaojin."
Zhao Xiaojin was stunned. Why did he call her name the moment she arrived? She quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "This disciple is here."
The Vice Leader said, "Let me ask you, when you went back to bury your parents' bodies, did something happen?"
"This …"
Zhao Xiaojin couldn't help but glance at the Tenth Elder.
At the same time, the Tenth Elder also looked at her with a hint of threat in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid."
"With me and your Hall of the Exalted's Hall Master here, no one dares to do anything to you."
The Vice Leader said.
Zhao Xiaojin took a deep breath, looked at the Vice Leader, and nodded, "This time, I did encounter a lot of things when I went back. I even almost lost my life with Mo Yuanyu."
"Tell me the details."
The Vice Leader said.
At that moment.
Zhao Xiaojin told him everything that had happened.
"Don't slander me!"
"I don't know about this!"
The Tenth Elder immediately shouted.
"Elder, this disciple respects you very much because you are a big shot in our Rogue Cultivator Alliance. But, I didn't expect that you would not even dare to accept it."
Zhao Xiaojin's eyes were filled with disdain.
"Preposterous! Is this how you speak to an elder?"
The Tenth Elder was furious.
"Shut up!"
The Vice Alliance Master glared at him fiercely. The Tenth Elder's neck shrank back, and there was a clear trace of fear on his face.
The Vice Alliance Master glanced at Zhao Xiaojin, and then he gazed at the white robed old man and the other 9 elders, "I believe all of you have heard of this as well!"
"This old man really doesn't know. It's quite novel."
The white-robed old man said with a smile.
"It's not surprising that you don't know."
The Vice Alliance Leader said faintly before looking at the other nine elders.
The white-robed old man smiled awkwardly and did not say anything else.
The nine elders looked at each other and nodded. "We have indeed heard of it, but it is only a rumor. We still need to verify it."
"That's right. We do need to verify it."
"I'd like to see who's behind all this and tarnish the reputation of our rogue cultivator alliance!"
The Vice Alliance Master bellowed.
The Tenth Elder's pupils shrank, and he became more and more flustered.
…
Da da!
Accompanied by a series of footsteps.
Xing San walked in from outside, looked at the Vice Alliance Master above, and said respectfully, "Sir, I've brought them here."
"Let them in."
The Vice Alliance Master said.
"Who is it?"
Everyone could not help but turn to look outside suspiciously.
"Come in!"
Xing San shouted loudly.
Immediately.
Three middle-aged men ran in.
Looking at the three of them, the Tenth Elder's expression changed drastically.
Zhao Xiaojin's eyes were filled with hatred.
Because these three people were Wu Sanyuan, Zhao Yunhai, and Zhao Yuntian!
"Greetings, Vice Alliance Master. Greetings, elders."
As soon as the three of them entered the main hall, they immediately knelt on the ground in fear.
"Do you know why I've called you here?"
The Vice Alliance Master said in a deep voice.
"Yes …"
"No, no, no, we don't know."
The three of them shook their heads.
"Do you know or not?"
The Vice Alliance Master shouted.
"Yes, yes …"
The three of them nodded repeatedly.
"Then tell me, who ordered you to do all this?"
The Vice Alliance Master said.
"If you dare to say a word, I'll kill you!"
The Tenth Elder transmitted his voice.
The three of them trembled and their faces turned pale.
On one side was the Vice Alliance Master, and on the other side was the Tenth Elder. No matter what, it was a dead end.
The Vice Alliance Master glanced at the Tenth Elder and said, "Don't worry and speak boldly. As long as you speak the truth, I can consider giving you a lighter sentence. But if you dare to lie to me, then you can wait for your clan to be exterminated!"
"Exterminated!"
The three of them quivered and said, "We'll say, we'll say, this was all ordered by the Tenth Elder."
"You're courting death!"
The Tenth Elder's killing intent rose as he slapped at the three of them.
"Annoying!"
The Vice Alliance Master slammed the crutch in his hand on the ground, and a terrifying aura immediately rushed toward the Tenth Elder.
The Tenth Elder let out a miserable groan and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He retreated continuously, and his face turned pale.
The Vice Alliance Master looked at him gloomily and said, "Let me tell you, if you dare to make a move again, I'll directly cripple you!"
The Tenth Elder stared at the Vice Alliance Master with a terrified expression.
The Vice Alliance Master snorted coldly, looked at Wu Sanyuan and the other two, and said, "Continue, I want to know everything."
"Yes!"
The three of them nodded and hurriedly told him the truth.
"Old Ten, are you stupid? How could you do such a thing?"
"The cause of this matter was your grandson's fault. You should take the initiative to apologize to Zhao Xiaojin, but you actually wanted to harm her. How can you be an elder of our Rogue Cultivator Alliance like this?"
"Do you know how the world will talk about our Rogue Cultivator Alliance behind our backs if this matter were to spread?"
The nine great elders immediately looked at the Tenth Elder angrily.
"This matter has already been spread out!"
"Now, our Rogue Cultivator Alliance has become a malignant tumor of the Eastern Continent. Everyone has the right to kill us!"
"Even those who were originally loyal to our Rogue Cultivator Alliance have already sided with the Demon Palace!"
"Our Rogue Cultivator Alliance will be destroyed in the hands of someone like him sooner or later!"
The Vice Alliance Master roared.
"I'm at fault."
"But aren't you wrong?"
"Who was the first to attack Qin Feiyang and the others back then?"
"Let's just say that Ye Yuan bullied men and women in Wind Sea City and committed all sorts of crimes. Isn't this ruining the reputation of our Rogue Cultivator Alliance?"
The Tenth Elder looked at the Vice Alliance Master unconvinced.
"Yes."
"It was indeed me who attacked Qin Feiyang first."
"Ye Yuan was indeed in the wrong."
"But did I pursue the matter?"
"You all saw it too. Not only did I not pursue the matter, but I've been looking for opportunities to reconcile with Qin Feiyang and the others."
"Originally, they were about to reconcile with us, but because of your selfishness and misdeeds, all of our efforts were in vain!"
"Do you know that Qin Feiyang and Madman Mo are of use to our Rogue Cultivator Alliance?"
"As long as they are willing to join our Rogue Cultivator Alliance, then our Rogue Cultivator Alliance will truly have the capital to contend against the Demon Palace!"
"You're simply incapable of accomplishing anything but good at ruining things!"
The Vice Alliance Master was furious.
"That's right!"
"Qin Feiyang and the others have a Sovereign Divine Weapon. To our Rogue Cultivator Alliance, they are the saviors sent by the heavens!"
The other great elders nodded one after another.
The Tenth Elder lowered his head, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
The Vice Alliance Master gazed at the white robed old man and said, "Old friend, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
"Just that!"
The white robed old man glanced at Zhao Xiaojin, and then he glanced at the Tenth Elder before he spoke indifferently, "I think that little girl, Xiaojin, is very pitiful. On the other hand, Zhao Eryong was extremely loyal and conscientious to our Rogue Cultivator Alliance. He truly died an unjust death."
"I understand what you're saying."
The Vice Alliance Master nodded, and then he gazed at the 9 great elders and said, "I believe all of you understand as well. Our Rogue Cultivator Alliance's reputation absolutely can't fall like this. Otherwise, our Rogue Cultivator Alliance will be destroyed sooner or later."
The 9 great elders nodded in succession.
"So, we have to give the world a satisfactory explanation for this matter."
"I officially announce that the Tenth Elder is relieved of his position as an elder, and Wu Sanyuan is relieved of his position as the City Governor of Ocean of Clouds City. Moreover, head to the city immediately and kneel on the square at the center of the city to apologize and repent!"
Said the Vice Alliance Master.
"What?"
The Tenth Elder's expression changed, and he roared at the Vice Alliance Master, "You don't have the authority! Only the Lord Alliance Master has the right to relieve me of my position as an elder!"
"Alright then, we'll ask the Alliance Master to make a decision."
"But you have to think this through. Based on the Alliance Master's character, if he finds out about this, it won't be as simple as relieving you of your position as an elder."
"Because the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was established by the Alliance Master single-handedly. It's his life's work!"
"He will absolutely not tolerate anyone tarnishing the reputation of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance like this!"
The Vice Alliance Master sneered.
The Tenth Elder's face instantly turned ghastly pale.
The Vice Alliance Master looked at the other 9 great elders and said, "If any of you have any objections, you can voice them out."
"No."
The 9 great elders shook their heads.
"Alright."
"Carry it out immediately!"
"Xing San!"
The Vice Alliance Master shouted.
"Yes, Sir."
Xing San stepped forward.
"Take them to Ocean of Clouds City. If any of them dares to cause trouble, kill them without mercy!"
With that, the Vice Alliance Master tossed the snake-shaped walking stick in his hand to Xing San.
Xing San grabbed the walking stick and was instantly filled with confidence. He nodded and said, "Yes, Sir!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the Tenth Elder, Wu Sanyuan, and the other two and said, "Please!"
How would Wu Sanyuan and Zhao Yunhai dare to say anything? They hurriedly got up and walked outside.
But the Tenth Elder's face was filled with rage. He glared at the Vice Alliance Master and roared, "You can't treat me like this!"
"How troublesome."
The white-robed old man shook his head. With a wave of his hand, the power of Law surged. The time in the main hall instantly stopped. Then, he took a step forward and instantly landed in front of the Tenth Elder, directly shattering the Tenth Elder's Sea of Qi.
— — This was the profound meaning of the Law of Time, Time Stop!
After the Sea of Qi was shattered, the white-robed old man waved his hand again. The time in the main hall returned to normal. The Tenth Elder immediately let out a scream.
"Take him away!"
The white-robed old man waved his hand indifferently.
"Yes."
Xing San responded respectfully. He grabbed the Tenth Elder and left with Wu Sanyuan and the other 2.
