"Deacon Elder, this Linlong is truly despicable. He dares to threaten our disciples in public." Fang Hongyuan could tell that Wang Yongyuan was afraid of Linlong, so he immediately spoke up.
"Uncle-master Fang, Deacon Elder, I was merely asking. How is this threatening?" Linlong replied.
The Deacon Elder glanced at him but didn't say anything. After all, he really wasn't threatening them. Then, the Deacon Elder shifted his gaze to Wang Yongyuan and the others. "Don't be afraid. The sect is on your side. No one will dare to do anything to you in private."
Wang Yongyuan and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the Deacon Elder's words. Then, they looked at each other a few more times before saying, "This is indeed the case. It was indeed Linlong who came to seize our territory and maliciously hurt us."
"Linlong, so many people are accusing you of a crime. What else do you have to say?" Xing Bai, the sect master, shouted at Linlong when he heard them speak in unison.
"Uncle-master, they are maliciously framing Linlong. They were the ones who came to seize our territory. Junior Brother Linlong couldn't stand it and taught them a lesson."
At this moment, an unusually loud voice came from below the stage.
Everyone looked over and saw that the six people from Green Peak had spoken at the same time. They seemed to have agreed beforehand to stand up and speak together, which was why their voices were so loud.
Their actions were a clear indication of their support for Linlong.
"Uncle-master, Deacon Elder, look, so many people are supporting Linlong. This means that he didn't do anything wrong," Li Yiming said.
Sect Master Xing Bai was momentarily speechless. If that was the case, they couldn't completely push the blame onto Linlong.
The Deacon Elder nodded slightly.
However, at this moment, Xing Bai's expression suddenly darkened. Then, he said coldly, "Since that's the case, since both sides insist on their own words, this matter will be canceled out. No one is at fault. However, it is true that Linlong injured a fellow disciple, so Linlong cannot escape punishment. In order to strictly enforce the sect's rules, Linlong's cultivation will be crippled and he will be expelled from the sect!"
Hearing the Sect Leader's words, the audience was stunned. Although Xing Bai had used his authority to suppress Linlong, there was nothing wrong with his words. Linlong had indeed broken Hua Haoran's arms and legs.
Li Yiming hastily stood up and shouted, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, how can this be? It was clearly Hua Haoran who committed evil deeds. How can you punish Linlong so heavily?"
Even if Lin Long's limbs were broken, he wouldn't agree to it. Moreover, Xing Bai wanted to cripple Lin Long's cultivation. Apart from the fact that Lin Long was standing up for his daughter, he didn't want to see such a talent from his Green Peak be killed by Xing Bai.
"There's no need to say anything more. Both sides have their own version of events. Without sufficient evidence, the matter can only be concluded as such," Xing Bai said with a serious expression and an unquestionable tone.
"Law Enforcement Elder, you can't just punish him like this." Li Yiming quickly turned to look at the Law Enforcement Elder.
The Law Enforcement Elder's mouth moved. After a long while, he finally said, "Things are as the Sect Master said. There is no possibility of changing it."
Naturally, the Law Enforcement Elder wasn't completely biased towards the Sect Master, but the problem was that there was no other way to punish Lin Long.
Seeing that there was no way to change the matter, Li Yiming's expression changed and he coldly said to Xing Bai, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, I didn't expect you to be such a person. For the sake of your own selfishness, you actually disregarded justice and righteousness."
"Junior Brother Sect Leader, you have to have evidence to back up your words. Don't make slanderous accusations. Otherwise, you will also be punished according to the sect's rules," Xing Bai coldly said to Li Yiming.
At this moment, Linlong suddenly smiled and said, "Master, Senior Uncle Sect Leader, actually, I have a piece of evidence that can prevent the two of you from quarreling and bring the matter to light. I wonder if the two of you are willing to see it?"
"Linlong, you have evidence? Quickly take it out. "Hearing this, Li Yiming's face immediately lit up.
"What evidence do you have? You can take it out now," the Law Enforcement Elder said.
"Take it out," Xing Bai shouted.
In fact, there was another reason why Xing Bai was so against Linlong other than because of Hua Haoran. He didn't know why, but after using the Blood Flame Bead to examine Linlong, he discovered that the effects of the Blood Flame Bead seemed to have weakened a lot.
Naturally, he blamed Linlong for the weakening of his strength.
Linlong smiled indifferently. Then, he actually began to silently recite a rune term. After that, a rune suddenly appeared on his body.
This guy can actually control runes like this!
Seeing this scene, everyone in the main hall was shocked on the spot. Even Xing Bai, the Law Enforcement Elder, and the others were dumbfounded. It should be known that even they could only control the tracking runes. It was extremely difficult for Linlong to control a rune like this.
Could it be that this guy is a genius in runes? They couldn't help but think of such a possibility.
While they were still in shock, the rune suddenly exploded in mid-air. After that, an image actually appeared in mid-air.
Everyone couldn't help but focus on the image.
In the image, they first saw Li Dalong, Li Muling, and the others occupy a favorable cave first. After that, Hua Haoran and the others rushed to the cave.
Seeing this, how could they not know that Wang Yongyuan and the others were simply lying?
Wang Yongyuan and the others' expressions were incomparably ugly at this moment. In fact, their bodies were even trembling slightly because they knew that such an image would undoubtedly convict them.
At this moment, even Fang Hongyuan, who was the one who made them agree, had an ugly expression on his face.
After looking down, everyone saw the arrogant and despotic Hua Haoran and the others. Being arrogant and despotic was one thing, but in the end, Hua Haoran actually openly teased Li Muling.
Seeing this, Li Yiming couldn't help but clench his fists and stare at Hua Haoran below. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, Hua Haoran also struggled to sit up. However, when he saw the image on the screen, his face instantly turned deathly pale.
Looking at the back of the screen, they saw that Hua Haoran actually wanted Li Muling to stay in public with a lustful look in his eyes. Everyone's anger was completely ignited. Someone couldn't help but shout. "This damn guy deserves to be beaten up."
It could be said that it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Immediately, voices of condemning Hua Haoran rang out one after another.
"How dare he tease Junior Sister Mu Ling in broad daylight. He has no respect for the sect's laws at all."
"Junior Sister Mu Ling is Uncle-Master Li's daughter, yet Hua Haoran still dares to do this. If it was someone else, such as the weak female disciples of our Lingxiang Peak, who would be able to support us?"
"Sect Leader, please support us weak disciples and punish a scoundrel like Hua Haoran."
"Sect Leader, Enforcement Elder, please support us."
…
Seeing this scene, Xing Bai's face twitched, but he couldn't say a word.
Very soon, the emotions of the crowd below the stage became even more intense. This was because they realized that the scoundrel that they hated to death, Hua Haoran, was now being beaten up by Lin Long.
"Beat him to death, beat him to death!"
Even though they knew that Hua Haoran was not beaten to death, they couldn't help but feel excited when they saw Lin Long beating Hua Haoran up.
They were so excited that they wanted to rush into the video and beat Hua Haoran up.
Meanwhile, some of the people who were close to Hua Haoran glared at him so fiercely that he broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Just as the crowd's blood was boiling, the video disappeared from mid-air.
Li Yiming stood up and said loudly to Xing Bai, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, Enforcement Elder, it's not difficult for us to see from this video that Hua Haoran deserved what he got. If Senior Brother Sect Leader and Enforcement Elder still want to punish Lin Long, I, Li Yiming, will be the first to disagree."
"I hope Senior Uncle Sect Leader and Enforcement Elder can punish Hua Haoran and exempt Lin Long from punishment."
The Green Peak disciples below the stage also shouted in unison.
Then, they weren't the only ones. Some of the other disciples also began to support Lin Long.
Although they had never interacted with Lin Long before, they knew that if they didn't support Lin Long, they would most likely be punished for what happened to Lin Long one day.
At any time, a sinful person would be condemned by the public. Hua Haoran was a good example.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, this matter is indeed inappropriate to punish Lin Long," the Enforcement Elder said.
Hearing the Enforcement Elder's words, many people breathed a sigh of relief. However, they knew that the decision lay in the hands of the sect leader, Xing Bai, so they didn't completely let go of the rock hanging in their hearts.
"Since that's the case, then Lin Long's punishment will be exempted. However, a small punishment is unavoidable. If we don't punish him, it will definitely cause adverse effects. How about this, Lin Long will be imprisoned in the dungeon for half a month," Xing Bai said.
No matter what, he wanted Lin Long to be punished. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to justify himself in front of Hua Haotian.
Seeing that Lin Long would only be imprisoned for fifteen days, the crowd completely breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this kind of punishment didn't make them happy, it was already the best result compared to before. After all, they weren't the sect leader and didn't have the power to decide someone's life or death.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from below, "What about Hua Haoran? Does Hua Haoran also have to be punished?"
"Yeah, Hua Haoran deserves to be punished more than Lin Long."
"In my opinion, someone like Hua Haoran doesn't deserve to stay in the House of Zi Yang."
"Yes, someone like him should be kicked out of the House of Zi Yang."
"If we don't kick him out of the House of Zi Yang, the female disciples of the Ling Xiang Peak won't dare to enter the Tower of Suppressing Demons anymore."
At this moment, everyone below the stage began to shout again. Before, they were all worried that Lin Long would receive some kind of punishment and almost forgot about Hua Haoran. Now that someone brought him up, they naturally began to shout again.
Seeing the crowd's excitement, Xing Bai's expression changed. He originally wanted to make things difficult for Lin Long, but he forgot about Hua Haoran.
His decision to punish Lin Long was clearly a trap for Hua Haoran.
"Senior Brother, Hua Haoran really doesn't deserve to stay in our House of Zi Yang," the Enforcement Elder said.
The Enforcement Elder was someone who enforced the law impartially. If it wasn't for the House Leader's interference, things wouldn't have developed the way they did.
At this point, Xing Bai could only sigh and say, "If that's the case, then let's kick Hua Haoran out of the House of Zi Yang. However, since Hua Haoran's body has already been injured, there will be no physical punishment."
Everyone's biggest wish was for Hua Haoran's cultivation to be destroyed. However, they also knew that this was the House Leader's bottom line. Therefore, they didn't ask for anything more and began to clap.
