In the hall of Green Peak, Li Dalong, Li Muling, and the others were recounting what happened today to Li Yiming.
"This Hua Haoran is too much!" Li Yiming slammed the table and stood up angrily when he heard Hua Haoran teasing his daughter in front of everyone.
"Father, will Junior Brother be expelled from the sect and have his cultivation crippled because of this?" Li Muling, who was at the side, asked anxiously.
She had already thrown everything that had happened before to the back of her mind. The only thing she was thinking about was whether Linlong would be able to get through this storm unscathed.
"Don't worry. I, Li Yiming, will fight for your Junior Brother," Li Yiming said solemnly.
Linlong offended Hua Haoran for his daughter. How could he not be on Linlong's side? Moreover, they were on the side of justice. The only difficulty was that Linlong was too heavy-handed.
Hua Haotian was also behind Hua Haoran. The Sect Leader would definitely side with Hua Haoran. If it was just the Enforcement Elder, Li Yiming would not be worried at all.
In other words, Linlong would not be able to escape the sect's punishment. They just had to wait and see how Xing Bai would punish Linlong.
Of course, he did not say this out loud. He knew that it would be useless to make Li Muling and the others worry.
Hearing that Li Yiming would fight for Linlong, they heaved a sigh of relief.
As soon as they finished speaking, someone came to Green Peak to deliver a message from the Sect Leader. He requested Li Yiming to bring Linlong to the Enforcement Hall for a trial as soon as he returned.
Seeing this situation, Li Muling and the others who had just heaved a sigh of relief became worried again. This was because the Sect Leader had given such an order in such a short time. It meant that the Sect Leader was very concerned about this matter. This was not good for Linlong.
They immediately waited anxiously for Linlong in the hall. Linlong only returned to Green Peak when the sky was about to turn dark.
Of course, if it was not for today's incident, Linlong would not have returned to Green Peak today.
As soon as Linlong entered the hall, Li Yiming's face immediately turned serious. "Linlong, do you know your mistake?"
"I know my mistake," Linlong replied.
"Since you know your mistake, why did you do this?" Li Yiming rebuked.
From his point of view, it was a good thing that Lin Long had beaten Hua Haoran up, but he had gone overboard. If Lin Long had only beaten him up and not broken his arms and legs like now, it would not have been a big deal at all.
"I know. With Hua Haoran's personality, he will definitely do something bad to Junior Sister Mu Ling. That's why I decided to make the first move. If I didn't do that, I'm afraid it would be useless no matter how angry you are," Linlong said calmly.
Hearing Linlong's words, Li Yiming was speechless for a moment because he knew what Linlong said was the truth. If he didn't let Hua Haoran remember the pain this time, he might really taint Li Muling's innocence in the future. This was something he absolutely didn't want to see.
"I won't blame you for your sincerity in helping Mu Ling … Alright, get ready. We'll head to the Law Enforcement Hall together," Li Yiming said.
No matter what, going to the Law Enforcement Hall wouldn't save Linlong. At most, his punishment would be slightly reduced. Therefore, Li Yiming couldn't help but sigh after he finished speaking.
The group quickly set off for the Purple Sun Peak. Not long after, they arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall of the Purple Sun Peak.
When they arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, only the Law Enforcement Elder was there. However, the other elders, the Sect Leader, and other people from each faction rushed to the Law Enforcement Hall as soon as they heard the news.
The news of Linlong beating up Hua Haoran and breaking his arms and legs had already spread throughout the entire Purple Sun Sect. This incident could be said to have caused an uproar in the Purple Sun Sect. After all, the victim was Hua Haotian's brother.
Therefore, in a short period of time, more than a thousand people came to the Law Enforcement Hall to watch the investigation.
After arriving at the Law Enforcement Hall, the Sect Leader, Xing Bai, glared fiercely at Linlong before walking up to the main hall.
Hua Haoran was Hua Haotian's brother, and Hua Haotian was the disciple he was proud of. Hua Haoran's crippling was equivalent to being slapped in the face. Therefore, he naturally hated Linlong.
Seeing that most people had arrived, but his proud disciple, Hua Haotian, was nowhere to be seen, Xing Bai frowned slightly. He looked at the disciple who often hung out with Hua Haotian and asked, "Wen Fu, where's Haotian?"
The disciple called Wen Fu hurriedly replied, "Sect Leader Martial Uncle, Haotian just left the sect this afternoon. He will probably only be back tomorrow."
"That's fine," Xing Bai said.
It would be better if Hua Haotian was here, but since Hua Haotian was not here, it was fine. After all, as the Sect Leader, he could make decisions on behalf of his disciple.
Then, he looked around and saw that almost everyone had arrived. He said to Linlong, who was in front of him, "Linlong, come up to the stage."
After responding, Linlong strode up to the stage and walked in front of a few elders, the leaders of each faction, and the Sect Leader.
"Linlong, you broke Hua Haoran's arms and legs today. Did such a thing happen?" Xing Bai asked sternly.
Logically speaking, this kind of questioning should have been done by the Enforcement Elder. However, because Xing Bai was the Sect Leader, the Enforcement Elder could only keep his opinions to himself since he had overstepped his authority.
"In reply to Sect Leader, such a thing did happen," Linlong said indifferently.
"Very good." After saying these two words, Xing Bai's tone became even harsher and more sonorous. "For those of us who practice martial arts, our arms and legs are the most important parts of our bodies. Once we lose our arms and legs, no matter how strong we are, we are still trash. Yet, you, Linlong, are so vicious. You crippled someone else's arms and legs just like that. Do you still have any respect for the House of Zi Yang in your eyes? Do you still see yourself as a disciple of the House of Zi Yang? "
"Sect Leader Martial Uncle's words make sense. However, this disciple would like to ask Sect Leader Martial Uncle and the Law Enforcement Elder something," Linlong said with a faint smile.
"What is it?" Xing Bai was a bit surprised. He didn't think that Linlong would speak like this at a time like this.
"As a disciple of the House of Zi Yang, what should I do if I encounter someone who bullies the weak?" Linlong asked.
"Naturally, I should uphold justice and severely punish those who bully the weak," the Law Enforcement Elder said.
Xing Bai was a bit confused. He didn't know why Linlong was asking this.
He didn't know the cause and effect of today's development. It could be said that the person who reported to him intentionally concealed the truth and only exaggerated the part about Hua Haoran's injury. After hearing such a thing, he only thought about how to punish the evil person. He didn't have the time to carefully ask how the matter developed.
"Regrettably, Hua Haoran acted like that today. Not only did he bully the weak, but he also wanted to humiliate the female disciple of the Azure Peak, Li Muling. If I didn't act, the consequences would be unimaginable," Linlong said loudly.
Hearing this, everyone in the palace began to discuss. They knew that Hua Haoran was extremely arrogant and despotic to those who were weaker than him, but they didn't think he would be this arrogant. He even wanted to defile the daughter of the Azure Peak's head, Li Yiming.
"Sect Leader, this Hua Haoran wanted to molest Muling. This is a heinous crime. Breaking a person's arms and legs is not an exaggeration," Li Yiming quickly said.
Xing Bai didn't think that there would be such a hidden story. He couldn't help but be a little startled.
However, no matter what, he had already decided to punish Linlong.
"Sect Leader Martial Uncle, I'm innocent … I never wanted to bully Junior Sister Muling … It was Linlong who framed me …"
At this moment, such a voice came from the front of the stage.
Everyone looked over and saw Hua Haoran, whose arms and legs were twisted off, lying at the place where the voice came from.
"Linlong, you maliciously framed and harmed others. What else do you have to say?" Xing Bai's face darkened as he shouted.
"Sect Leader Martial Uncle, is it really okay for you to listen to someone else's side of the story?" Linlong said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Xing Bai's face turned a little ugly. He originally wanted to use his status to directly crush Linlong to death and confirm his crime. He didn't expect Linlong to be so bold as to refute him on the spot.
Everyone in the palace was speechless when they saw this scene. Ever since the incident with Yuanwu, they already knew that Linlong was bold. However, they didn't expect him to be so bold as to question the sect leader in front of everyone. It should be known that ordinary disciples didn't even dare to look at the sect leader, let alone question him in front of so many people.
"Linlong, everyone who was with Haoran today saw your evil deeds with their own eyes. Why are you still quibbling?" The person who spoke was Fang Hongyuan.
Today, most of the people who were with Hua Haoran were from Yong Chang Peak. He naturally knew what happened. However, Hua Haoran was from Yong Chang Peak, so he naturally sided with Hua Haoran.
"Then I'll have to trouble Sect Leader Fang to ask them to come up on stage as witnesses," Linlong said indifferently.
Soon, the eight people who were with Hua Haoran earlier walked up to the stage one after another.
"Alright, tell everyone what happened," the Law Enforcement Elder said to them.
Unexpectedly, after these people looked at each other for a while, none of them said anything.
Seeing this situation, Fang Hongyuan couldn't help but say angrily, "Wang Yongyuan, the few of you, hurry up and say something."
Before coming here, he had already asked them to speak in unison. He didn't expect that no one would say anything at this time. Naturally, he was furious.
After these people looked at each other again, Wang Yongyuan, who was called out by name, finally spoke, "What happened is like this. We … we were hunting evil spirits on the sixth floor of the pagoda and occupied a favorable terrain. However, not long after we stayed there, this … this Linlong brought a few people from Qingfeng over and insisted that we give up the place to them. We refused … Senior Brother Haoran resisted with all his might. We didn't expect that … that Linlong would break his arms and legs."
Previously, these people said this in unison. However, when they thought of Linlong's ruthlessness, none of them dared to say anything after going up on stage. It was only when Wang Yongyuan was called out by name that he had no choice but to stand up.
At this moment, Linlong smiled and said, "Excuse me, Senior Brother Wang Yongyuan. If that's really the case, then please raise your head and look at me."
"This …" Hearing Linlong's words, cold sweat appeared on Wang Yongyuan's forehead. However, he didn't dare to raise his head and look at Linlong.
