When Xiu Ning bid farewell to Ye Xiwen, she quickly walked downstairs. She had been waiting for a long time, and was anxiously pacing back and forth.
Each of these people was in a high position and lived like a prince. They wore the best clothes, but at this time, their faces were full of worry, and even their clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
There were even a few people looking at Senior Brother Feng who was kneeling on the ground with extreme hatred in their eyes.
They couldn't help but feel like this. The feeling of their fate being controlled by someone else was undoubtedly a great torture for people like them who had always controlled the fate of others.
It would be fine if it was an ordinary person, and perhaps they could think of a way to plead for leniency. However, they were facing an Imperial Monarch, and all the methods they'd prepared beforehand paled in comparison when facing an Imperial Monarch, and they were completely useless.
Originally, they had been so aggressive that they wanted to denounce him for his crimes. Now that they thought about it, they realized how ridiculous it was. A Quasi-emperor dared to denounce a Sovereign Emperor for his crimes. Just based on this point alone, he would have died in vain.
When an Emperor was angry, millions of corpses would be laid to the ground!
Even if everyone in their sect was slaughtered, would there really be anyone who would embarrass an Emperor for the sake of them?
Even if the Fortune God Dynasty had established order, in reality, they would not offend an Emperor for the sake of an ordinary sect.
That was simply impossible.
Therefore, the lives of their sect were in the hands of Ye Xiwen. As for escaping, it was even more impossible. If an Emperor really wanted to kill them, where could they escape to? Could they really escape to the ends of the earth?
At most, one or two seed disciples could escape. They could only hope to rise again one day.
"What do you think? What do you think?"
The higher-ups of the Moon Beheading Sect asked one after another.
Originally, they wouldn't even spare a glance at a disciple like Xiu Ning, and a single word from her would be a gift to her. However, at this moment, their life and death depended on a single word from Xiu Ning, and a single word could decide their life and death. Perhaps they'd never imagined that such a day would come in their entire lifetimes.
However, at this time, they didn't care about their dignity. They just wanted to know the final result.
"That lord said that making him kneel for ten days is just a small punishment. He won't vent his anger on our Moon Severing Sect. He asked the sect leaders and elders to be at ease!" Xiu Ning replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
She suddenly realized that these high and mighty figures that she originally respected seemed to be nothing at all. Just because of a single sentence from that lord, they were frightened to the point of almost being scared to death.
The strength of these people was only on the surface. In reality, they were nothing compared to the true experts.
At this moment, a thought rose uncontrollably in his mind. Only with great strength could he truly control his own fate.
Power and influence were utterly unable to withstand a single blow before true strength, and they were like paper tigers that could be broken with a single poke.
Once this thought arose, it was as if it had truly taken root and sprouted. It was impossible to forget even if he wanted to.
"That's good, that's good!"
These big shots in the Moon Severing Sect couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. It's good that nothing happened. It's good that nothing happened. It was only a short period of time from the interrogation to Xiu Ning's reply. However, it felt like ten thousand years to them. Every second was a kind of torture.
Every second was like living in hell. It was a kind of torture both physically and mentally.
They had never realized that they were so close to death one day. It could be said that one second of heaven and one second of hell were in the hands of others. They couldn't control it themselves.
They couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when they heard that Ye Xiwen had let them go. In the end, the worst outcome didn't come.
As for making this guy kneel for ten days and ten nights, it was just a small punishment compared to the annihilation of the entire sect.
At this moment, they deeply understood the meaning of Ye Xiwen's words. It was indeed just a small punishment. If an Emperor was really angry, it wouldn't be so simple to let it go.
What was shameful and so on compared to the worst result of annihilation of the entire sect? What was face? At this time, it could be sold by weight. Moral integrity could also be eaten according to taste.
These people were the big shots who had founded the Moon Severing Sect for countless years. Naturally, they understood this principle. Dignity and whatnot could also be trampled on.
"Father, what should I do? I don't want to kneel here for ten days and ten nights!" Senior Brother Feng suddenly shouted.
The thought of kneeling here for ten days and ten nights and being watched by others for ten days and ten nights made him feel depressed to death.
Initially, he thought that with the arrival of the people from his own sect, he would be able to back him up. Who knew that even if his own father came, he would still have to crawl over and apologize to that person.
However, he couldn't care so much at this time. He only knew that his reputation would be completely lost here from now on. What kind of sin had he committed? He didn't check the almanac when he went out.
"Scram! You unfilial son, just kneel here. It's not too late yet. For the next ten thousand years, you'll be confined, and you're not allowed to come out!" The Moon Splitting Sect's Sect Leader kicked his son's butt, causing him to wail and scream.
He didn't dare to vent his anger on Ye Xiwen. He could only ruthlessly teach his own son a lesson. After all, his son was his.
Hearing his son's crying appearance, he became even more furious. He was very clear that this matter had caused his son to provoke the anger of everyone in the sect.
This unfilial son could have provoked anyone, but he had provoked an Emperor. He really had eyes but failed to recognize gold and jade. He had almost caused the Moon Severing Sect to be annihilated. Thinking of this, how could the anger of those big shots be dispersed so easily?
Confining him for ten thousand years was certainly a punishment. At the same time, it was also to protect him. Otherwise, it would be over if something really happened.
Listening to his son's crying voice, he had a thought for the first time. Had he spoiled this unfilial son too much? So much so that he had caused such a terrible disaster.
Then, the Moon Severing Sect Lord's gaze turned to Xiu Ning. He suddenly became much more amiable. Although this matter was somewhat related to Xiu Ning, he didn't dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction in his heart. If Xiu Ning said one more word to that person, the Moon Severing Sect could go home and hang themselves.
Compared to that person, Xiu Ning was in a more dangerous situation. Even if she was only a guide, she was a person close to the Emperor. So, she carried enough weight in itself.
"Xiuning, you've always been one of the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation in our sect. You've made a great contribution to our sect this time. I intend to accept you as my last disciple. What do you think about it? Also, you can rest assured. No matter what, this unfilial son will not dare to cause trouble for you in the future. What do you think? "
At this moment, the Moon Severing Sect Lord felt as if his heart was bleeding. Since when did his status as the Sect Lord's last disciple become so cheap? It had always been others begging to become his inner disciple.
Compared to the ordinary inner disciple, the position of a last disciple was many times more important. Yet, he still had to use a negotiating tone to ask Xiu Ning why. Wasn't it all to curry favor with that person? He was afraid that he would be dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Xiu Ning agreed almost immediately. She didn't make things difficult for him and didn't embarrass him in the end.
"Disciple Xiu Ning greets Master!" Xiu Ning hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects to her master. She naturally knew that the Moon Severing Sect Lord definitely didn't take a fancy to her talent. Making a great contribution was even more ridiculous. It was already good that she didn't bring disaster to the sect today.
The person who really made all of this happen was that person. Even if that person might never ask about this matter again in this lifetime, they still didn't dare to take such a risk.
Could this be considered another kind of fortuitous encounter?
All of this made her desire for power rise in her heart. In the face of true power, everything else was fleeting.
"Haha, good disciple!" The Moon Severing Sect Lord laughed heartily.
"Congratulations, Sect Lord, for accepting a good disciple!"
"Congratulations, Sect Lord!"
Immediately, the elders surrounded him to congratulate him. Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, all of them had bright smiles on their faces.
For a moment, the whole scene was incomparably harmonious. The only one who was depressed was Senior Brother Feng. From the beginning to the end, he didn't understand how things had turned out like this. He was punished to kneel here for ten days and ten nights, and was displayed as an exhibit. Meanwhile, Xiu Ning, who he had always looked down on and treated as a plaything, had actually become his father's last disciple. He would also be imprisoned for ten thousand years.
Just thinking about it made him feel like there was no daylight. After all, he was the son of the Sect Lord, but he had only been an ordinary inner disciple all these years. The last disciple was the last disciple that the Sect Lord had accepted. The true disciple who had inherited all the inheritance had an extremely important status.
His father hadn't accepted a last disciple for so many years, but now he had decisively accepted an inner disciple. Didn't that mean that Xiu Ning's status would be higher than his in the future?
How could this be!!!
He felt that this world was becoming more and more incomprehensible. And, the cause of this matter was merely an insignificant conflict in his opinion.
Ye Xiwen naturally didn't know about the internal affairs of the Moon Severing Sect. He also didn't have the mood to pay attention to such trivial matters. No matter what changes were happening in the Moon Severing Sect, it was just a trivial matter for him. So, it wasn't worth getting distracted.
He was once again welcomed into the secret room by Elder Chen at this time. It was obvious that Elder Chen had received instructions from the higher-ups of the Heaven Commerce Alliance. His face was full of smiles.
