Everyone who had returned from the back mountain of Shu Mountain entered the main hall of Shu Mountain. Almost all the elders of Shu Mountain were already waiting in the main hall.
After everyone had taken their seats, Qin Haotian opened his mouth to speak.
"Let's talk about the big event first. The Blood Soul that has never been seen before appeared in the opening of the Shu Ruins. We can't sit still in Shu Mountain anymore!"
"It's a good thing that the Blood Soul was killed this time. This is a blessing for Shushan, and even for all living beings in the world! And in this matter, Emei Sect's Sect Leader Gu Zheng and Purple Cloud Palace's Elder Xiao Chen played a crucial role. They are the role models of the world's righteous path, fully deserving of the title of Demon Vanquishing Heroes! "
Following Qin Haotian's praise, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Zheng and Chu Xiaochen. In such a big environment, Chu Xiaochen smiled back at them, which was rare. Although Gu Zheng did the same, he sneered in his heart.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Gu Zheng felt like he was being spied on. This was because an immortal cultivator was watching him with his Divine Sense. Gu Zheng was not surprised by this. When he knew that the three Supreme Elders of Shu Mountain had left this morning, he was aware that he was being spied on.
"If I were an ordinary cultivator, I wouldn't have noticed you secretly watching me like this," Gu Zheng thought to himself.
"Now, I would like to invite Sect Master Gu to give a detailed account of what happened in the cave."
Gu Zheng was not surprised by Qin Haotian's request. Not only that, but he also knew that Qin Haotian would ask a lot of questions in the main hall that were not suitable to be asked here.
After Gu Zheng told them the "truth", the main hall fell into silence. Everyone had different expressions on their faces.
"Ha, this is really unprecedented in the Shu Ruins! They abandoned their allies and fled. Moreover, it was such an important matter as killing the Blood Soul! Sect Master Cai, how did you teach your disciples? The few of them are dead, but if they weren't, even if the Bloodsoul was able to successfully kill them this time, it would be difficult for them to absolve themselves from the blame and escape punishment! "
Under normal circumstances, Qin Haotian would not show his emotions on his face. But today, he slammed the table and stood up. His furious appearance frightened the entire hall so much so that a pin drop could be heard.
"Sect Leader Qin is right. After this incident, I will definitely discipline my disciples well!"
Facing Qin Haotian's anger, the Spirit Sword Sect's Sect Master Cai Jin quickly stood up to express his stance.
"Humph, if this kind of thing happens again, the Spirit Sword Sect will never set foot in the Shu Ruins again!" Qin Haotian fiercely glared at Cai Jin, and then his cold eyes swept over the crowd. "The warning just now is not only aimed at the Spirit Sword Sect. In the future, if you dare to imitate the Spirit Sword Sect, you will lose the qualification to enter the Shu Ruins!"
"Yes!"
The representatives of all the sects responded in unison.
"The unprecedented appearance of the Bloodsoul. Except for the Qingcheng Sect and the Situ Family, the Emei Sect, the Purple Cloud Palace, and the Spirit Sword Sect all participated in the hunt. This kind of attitude towards the overall situation is worthy of praise! Shu Mountain has always been a sect that rewards and punishments clearly. This time, the branch sects that chased after the Bloodsoul should be rewarded! "
"Reward all the branch sects that chased after the Bloodsoul. They are exempted from paying tribute to the Shu Ruins this time!"
When Qin Haotian's voice fell, the people of the five major sects had a happy and pained expression on their faces.
Every time the Shu Ruins closed, the branch sects that entered it had to pay tribute to Shu Mountain. This tribute was the resources in the Shu Ruins. The fewer people that entered the sect, the less resources they needed to pay tribute, and vice versa.
For such a reward, the happiest sects were naturally Emei Sect and the Spirit Sword Sect.
Emei Sect was happy because this time they had four people who entered the Shu Ruins. Four people needed to pay tribute to a lot of resources, especially Gu Zheng who had been to the Cloud Valley! As long as a sect had been to the Cloud Valley, they needed to pay tribute to a certain number of immortal fruits, and immortal fruits were the only irreplaceable tribute resource!
The Spirit Sword Sect was happy because some of the resources they had harvested in the Shu Ruins this time had been squeezed out by Gu Zheng and ruined by the death of Han Yi and the others. The remaining resources were really pitiful! However, if the tribute was paid according to the number of people, they had a total of five people who had entered the Shu Ruins. After paying tribute, there would not be much left.
As for the Purple Cloud Palace, although they were happy, they were certainly not as happy as Emei Sect and the Spirit Sword Sect. Their happiness was relatively normal. However, the faces of the people of Situ's family and the Qingcheng Sect were filled with pain! Their people had evaporated in the Shu Ruins. They did not participate in the pursuit of the Bloodsoul, so naturally, there was no reward to speak of. However, they did not need to pay tribute. After all, they did not obtain any resources from the Shu Ruins this time.
"Everyone's rewards have been announced. Naturally, there will be individual rewards next. The sects of the two exorcist heroes will each be rewarded with a quota to enter the Spirit Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak! This reward quota can be used now, or it can be used during the next ten years of the event! "
As soon as Qin Haotian's voice fell, the people of the other three branch sects immediately looked at Emei Sect and the Purple Cloud Palace with envy and jealousy.
Being able to enter the Spirit Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak did not necessarily mean that one could obtain a flying sword. However, this qualification to enter the Spirit Sword Area had always been particularly precious.
For the branch sects, there were only two ways to obtain the qualification to enter the Spirit Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak.
The first way was that in the ranking event, the sect ranked first in the branch sects had the qualification to select one person to enter the Spirit Sword Area of the Hidden Sword Peak. And this person must be one of the three people who participated in the ranking competition. This meant that through the sect ranking, every ten years, only one of the branch sects would be able to set foot in the Spirit Sword Area.
The second way was that every time the Shu Ruins opened, after all the branch sects left the Shu Ruins, the sect that paid the most tribute to Shu Mountain would also be able to set foot in the Spirit Sword Area! This meant that if one wanted to obtain this quota, they would have to pay a lot of resources. Especially when many sects wanted this quota, it was simply like an auction.
Gu Zheng was determined to get the quota of the Spirit Sword Area. He had already been prepared to compete with resources. However, plans could not keep up with changes. Such a reward was really good for him. It could save him a lot of resources!
"Shu Mountain has always been clear about rewards and punishments. I haven't finished talking about the rewards, but this reward will be linked to the punishment."
Qin Haotian glanced at Cai Jin, which immediately made Cai Jin have an extremely bad feeling. Sure enough, when Qin Haotian spoke again, the reward and punishment mentioned by Qin Haotian made Cai Jin suddenly fall into the chair.
"In view of the 'outstanding' performance of the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect in the Shu Ruins, I have decided to deduct two quotas for the next Spirit Sword Sect to enter the Shu Ruins. If in the next ranking event, the Spirit Sword Sect ranks fourth, then they will lose the qualification to enter the Shu Ruins! If the Spirit Sword Sect ranks last, they will lose the qualification to enter the Shu Ruins. At the same time, the remaining quota will be accumulated until the next opening of the Shu Ruins! "
"The two quotas deducted from the Spirit Sword Sect will be rewarded to the Emei Sect and the Purple Cloud Palace! If the Spirit Sword Sect ranks fifth in the next ranking event, then their quota will be used by the Emei Sect first. "
A trip to the Shu Ruins could allow a sect to have cultivation resources for the next few years. For a big sect like the Spirit Sword Sect, not bringing many resources this time was an extremely heavy blow. Now that two places had been deducted, in the next ranking ceremony, the strength of the Spirit Sword Sect was bound to decline very much.
Regardless of how depressed the people of the Spirit Sword Sect were, Qin Haotian finally asked a question that was not suitable for such an occasion.
"Sect Leader Gu, this time in the Shu Ruins, in addition to killing the Blood Soul, many of your performances were surprising!"
"The decoction made from Night Bright Flower, Spring Withered Grass, Sweet Grass, Purple Flame Flower, Silver Frost Leaf, Blue Star Fruit, Fierce Sun Flower Vine, and Gold and Silver Root can really cure the loss of Pure Yin Qi! How did you do it? "
"Also, in the underground cave, you used a lot of medicinal herbs and ingredients to make the Amber Ointment, which can actually help a cultivator at the late stage of the fifth level withstand the high temperature! How did you do it? "
Qin Haotian's eyes were full of curiosity, and his spirit sense, which was secretly probing Gu Zheng, was also particularly 'attentive' at this time.
"To cure the loss of Pure Yin Qi, in fact, I didn't just use those medicinal herbs, I also put some ingredients in the decoction. Since ancient times, medicine and food have been inseparable. If you use the right food, it can also cure the disease! I can use something that Sect Leader Qin thinks is inconceivable and achieve an inconceivable effect. This can only be said that the method I used is correct. As the saying goes, every skill has its own specialization. How did I do it? What do you want me to say? "Gu Zheng frowned and asked.
Although the branch sects were all from Shu Mountain, after all, they had been separated. Although they also listened to Shu Mountain's dispatch, they also had great freedom in many things.
Qin Haotian's question, if it was someone from any of the branch sects, they would have the right to answer or not. After all, this question itself was probing into other people's secrets.
On the surface, Gu Zheng gave them an explanation, which could be considered as giving them a lot of face! If it wasn't the Shu Mountain Sect Leader who asked the same question personally, and if it was someone else who asked the same question, Gu Zheng didn't have to give an explanation at all! After all, it was very easy to anger someone by asking about their secrets in public.
However, on the surface, Gu Zheng also didn't give them any face! He did give an explanation, but the explanation he gave was no different from not giving an explanation at all. The person who asked the question was the Shu Mountain Sect Leader, the representative of a sect, and also the big boss of the Emei Sect! And the big boss's intention was obviously not to give such a specious answer.
Under normal circumstances, even if the big boss was curious, he wouldn't ask such a question in front of so many people. But since the big boss had already asked, then the person who was asked should usually answer honestly.
Therefore, when Qin Haotian asked the question, regardless of whether the others had heard the different meaning or not, in any case, in the eyes of the Spirit Sword Sect's Sect Master Cai Jin, the Purple Cloud Palace's Princess Chu Li, the Situ Family's Head Situ Zhengliang, and the Qingcheng Sect's Head Pang Xin, there was a flash of disbelief.
After Gu Zheng's answer, there was obvious surprise or shock in the eyes of the leaders of the four major branches.
For a time, the scene once again returned to the kind of silence where a pin drop could be heard.
Qin Haotian looked at Gu Zheng with a very calm expression on his face. After answering the question, Gu Zheng sat down directly, as if he didn't know that his answer was inappropriate.
For Gu Zheng, when Qin Haotian asked those questions, the contest between him and the Shu Mountain Sect had already begun!
Qin Haotian's words were inappropriate, but inappropriate was also a kind of attitude, and he also wanted to see Gu Zheng's attitude.
For such a test, Gu Zheng didn't choose to refuse, and naturally, he wouldn't choose to confess. His most suitable choice should be to give a relatively tactful explanation. However, Gu Zheng also didn't choose to be relatively tactful! Not to mention that his explanation was perfunctory, he even chose to frown and ask a rhetorical question! How could the other branches not be shocked by such an attitude?
Similarly, Gu Zheng's attitude also frightened Elder Wu You. After he sat down, Elder Wu You, whose forehead was covered in sweat, lightly prodded Gu Zheng's arm.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He turned his head and looked at Elder Wu You with a puzzled look, and Elder Wu You signaled him to look at Qin Haotian's face.
Gu Zheng turned his head and looked at Qin Haotian's calm gaze. He scratched his head and asked, "Sect Leader Qin, was what I said a little inappropriate?"
Gu Zheng's gaze was very innocent, but his words were enough to scare people to death. The heads of the four major branches frowned tightly! Elder Wu You even closed his eyes while frowning.
"There's nothing inappropriate. You have already given me an explanation. I was just a little curious, so I couldn't help but imagine the combination of ingredients and medicinal herbs. However, Sect Leader Gu's innocence really surprised me! "
Qin Haotian laughed very happily, as if he had been amused by a naughty child.
The leaders of the four branches still had their brows furrowed. Regardless of what they were thinking, they definitely didn't believe Qin Haotian's words about Gu Zheng's innocence! After all, Gu Zheng had already used his "innocence" to let everyone have some understanding of him during the Ranking Ceremony.
The scene was a little quiet for a while, and Gu Zheng also let out a long sigh in his heart.
Gu Zheng didn't choose to answer Qin Haotian's question tactfully. He was actually gambling!
Not to mention the Ranking Ceremony, Gu Zheng had too many suspicious aspects in the Shu Ruins! It was fine if Shu Mountain didn't ask about his various abnormalities, but if they did, it wouldn't be as simple as just asking casually.
After coming out of the Shu Ruins, Gu Zheng, who had a guilty conscience, felt that Shu Mountain might want to "interrogate" him when he learned that they were going to the main hall for a detailed discussion.
After that, Gu Zheng learned from Elder Wu You that three of the four Grand Elders of the Shu Mountain Sect had actually left Shu Mountain this morning!
Unless something major had happened, the Grand Elders of Shu Mountain wouldn't leave Shu Mountain. Three of them wouldn't leave Shu Mountain at once, leaving only the most hot-tempered Grand Elder Han Songzi to guard the mountain! Moreover, with the presence of the Grand Elders, the person in charge of the detailed discussion shouldn't be the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain.
These suspicious points made Gu Zheng feel that the abnormalities of Shu Mountain Sect were all directed at him!
Then, Gu Zheng asked about the affairs of the sect, and Elder Wu You's answer was that Shu Mountain had been sealed off for a few days after they entered the Shu Ruins.
After receiving this news, Gu Zheng concluded that all the suspicious points were directed at him. There was no reason for so many coincidences to happen at the same time! He also had some guesses about the whole incident in his heart.
"During the Ranking Ceremony, the 'Wind Speed Food Cultivator' and my performance and so on attracted the attention of Shu Mountain Sect. On the surface, Shu Mountain Sect reported these things with an open-minded attitude, but in fact, Shu Mountain Sect carried out an investigation on me and even Emei.
"Shu Mountain's investigation must have alerted Mao Zedong! It was also because of Mao Zedong's existence that played a very big role in deterrence. Shu Mountain Sect had the 'excuse' of sealing off the mountain to cut off the people of Emei from the outside world.
"I don't know what happened outside, so naturally, I don't know that the people of Shu Mountain Sect went to find Mao Zedong, so I won't be so vigilant! Then, in the face of their 'interrogation', I'm very likely to reveal flaws and let them know what they want to know!
"Mao Zedong is an expert of the Divine Transformation and Void Return realm. There are only two people of this level in the entire Shu Mountain Sect! It's also because of Mao Zedong that they sent Qin Haotian to 'interrogate' me this time. If Qin Haotian can't get anything out of me, the next person to appear should be Han Songzi.
"Han Songzi is an immortal cultivator. He can use methods that cultivators don't have, so he can find out what he wants to know!
"Shu Mountain Sect doesn't know that I've already killed the people of Qingcheng Sect and Situ's family in Shu Ruins. This is a capital crime! It's also because they don't know that I've committed a capital crime that they didn't want to go too far. That's why they left Han Songzi to 'interrogate' me a second time.
"Once Han Songzi interrogates me, the methods that he uses as an immortal cultivator are already considered to be too much. It can be said that he's bullying the weak on Mao Zedong's side! But because of Han Songzi's hot temper, Shu Mountain Sect can shirk responsibility and use it as a reason to go too far with me. "
With a guess in his heart, Gu Zheng naturally hoped that his guess was correct. By choosing to answer Qin Haotian's question without following common sense, Gu Zheng was actually gambling on whether his guess was correct or not!
If his guess was correct, given the scruples of Mao Zedong and the fact that he was a demon exterminator hero, Shu Mountain Sect wouldn't particularly care about his soft knife this time as long as the matter didn't develop in a bad way. After all, Mao Zedong had already allowed Emei to sit firmly in a position higher than any other branch sect. Shu Mountain Sect didn't want to easily offend him.
But if his guess wasn't correct, Shu Mountain Sect didn't know about the existence of Mao Zedong at all. All the suspicious points were really coincidences. The inspection of the immortal cultivators in the hall, including Qin Haotian's attitude, was just the suspicion of the big boss and his way of controlling people! Then things would be awkward. He used a soft knife to confront the big boss in public. It would be really strange if the big boss didn't embarrass him!
Fortunately, Gu Zheng's guess was correct. Otherwise, Qin Haotian would definitely not laugh it off.
However, Gu Zheng understood that the confrontation had just begun. Han Songzi hadn't appeared yet, and the whole thing hadn't ended yet.
The silence in the hall didn't last long. It was broken by the Spirit Sword Sect's Sect Leader, Cai Jin.
"Sect Leader Qin, I have something to ask Sect Leader Gu."
After observing the situation, Cai Jin made such a request.
"Ask away!" Qin Haotian nodded.
Cai Jin looked at Gu Zheng. "Sect Leader Gu, Han Yi and the other two deserved to die for fleeing. I wonder if Sect Leader Gu saw their bodies on the way later?"
"Sect Leader is indeed the Sect Leader. Even the level of questioning is higher than the disciples!" Gu Zheng sneered and looked at Wei Xinlin, who asked the same question in the Shu Ruins. Then, he looked at Cai Jin again. "I didn't find the bodies of Han Yi and the other two."
When Gu Zheng told what happened in the cave later, he didn't mention Han Yi and the other two. He also deliberately gave the people of the Spirit Sword Sect an opportunity to ask.
Anyway, no matter what Gu Zheng said in the story, the Spirit Sword Sect, which had suffered heavy losses, would definitely ask for more details. Gu Zheng needed to give another explanation!
Since this was common sense, Gu Zheng simply didn't mention the traces of Han Yi and the other two in the story. When the people of the Spirit Sword Sect asked about it, he would answer at once.
After listening to Gu Zheng's answer, Cai Jin looked at the people of the Purple Cloud Palace with a complicated expression. "Elder Xiaochen, you didn't see the bodies of Han Yi and the other two?"
"No." Chu Xiaochen said coldly.
"Alas."
Cai Jin sighed and sat down. Their trip to the Shu Ruins this time was really a big loss.
They didn't bring back many resources, three people died at once, four immortal tools were lost, and they were severely punished by Shu Mountain! Cai Jin felt that he had no face to face the ancestors of the Spirit Sword Sect.
"Sect Leader Qin, the head of the Situ Family and I also have questions to ask." Qingcheng Sect's Sect Leader Pang Xin said.
During the month that Gu Zheng and the others entered the Shu Ruins, because the Qingcheng Sect and the Situ Family both had a quota in the Shu Ruins, they inevitably sympathized with each other. Now that their people had all died in the Shu Ruins, this made them sympathize with each other to the extent that they were of the same breath and branch!
"Ask." Qin Haotian nodded as usual.
"We want to ask Sect Leader Emei if you have seen Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin in the Shu Ruins?" Pang Xin asked.
"No, I haven't." Gu Zheng said lightly. When he looked at Pang Xin, he frowned. "I'm also very puzzled. Why did Sect Leader Pang ask me such a question first?"
"Because Emei's orchard is relatively close to the Qingcheng Sect and the Situ Family's orchard, so I asked Sect Leader Gu first."
Pang Xin and Situ Zhengliang had suspected that Zhao Xin and Situ Mingguo had been killed! After all, they had entered the Shu Ruins to bring back resources for their sect. Therefore, they would not take the risk. Moreover, there was nothing too dangerous in the periphery of the Shu Ruins. As long as they were not stupid, they would definitely not die in the Shu Ruins.
Killing in the Shu Ruins was a capital crime. Framing someone else for killing in the Shu Ruins was not a small matter! Because of this, even though Pang Xin had some guesses, he did not dare to lead them in that direction without any evidence.
"Sect Leader Pang, you must have remembered wrongly. Situ Family's orchard is the closest to the Emei Sect's orchard, but the Qingcheng Sect's orchard is not close to the Emei Sect's orchard! "Gu Zheng smiled faintly.
"Well, I actually remembered wrongly. The Qingcheng Sect's orchard is the closest to the Purple Cloud Palace's orchard!" Pang Xin took advantage of the situation and immediately looked at the Purple Cloud Palace's group. "Elder Xiaochen, did your people see Zhao Xin and Situ Mingguo?"
Chu Xiaochen did not answer immediately. Instead, she stared at Pang Xin for a while before saying, "Do you really want to know?"
"Yes!"
Pang Xin immediately answered. He saw pity in Chu Xiaochen's eyes. Perhaps Zhao Xin had died a terrible death!
"I have not seen Zhao Xin or Situ Mingguo. However, Ling Xue and the others have seen Situ Mingguo. According to them, Situ Mingguo broke the rules and came to the Purple Cloud Palace's orchard to seek cooperation. He said that he had formed an alliance with Zhao Xin and promised Ling Xue and the others great rewards. In the end, Ling Xue forced him to leave the Purple Cloud Palace's orchard in embarrassment. Since then, he has not been seen. " Chu Xiaochen paused and then said to Ling Xue, who was behind her, "Tell Sect Leader Pang what happened."
"Yes."
Ling Xue responded and then told the truth.
In the process of Ling Xue's narration, Chu Li, the Palace Master of the Purple Cloud Palace, looked at Chu Xiaochen with complaint. As for the meaning of that look, it was naturally very clear. The two sects were already like this, so why should she say this kind of thing? Wasn't this adding insult to injury and causing resentment?
Chu Xiaochen naturally knew that Chu Li was looking at her, but she didn't look away. For Chu Xiaochen, she didn't need to say these things. However, who told Pang Xin and Situ Mingguo to have a grudge with Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng had done her a favor?
After listening to Ling Xue's words, there was a whisper in the hall for the first time. Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin actually broke the rules, and they even wanted to incite the Purple Cloud Palace to break the rules together! Fortunately, they were dead. Otherwise, this time, they would have gotten into trouble.
"Impossible, how could this be? Zhao Xin is not that kind of person! "
Pang Xin's forehead was sweating. Although Zhao Xin was dead, with the punishment of the Spirit Sword Sect in front of him, he was really afraid that the Qingcheng Sect would receive similar treatment.
"Fellow Daoist of the Spirit Sword Sect, did Zhao Xin go to your side to lobby?"
Situ Zhengliang also couldn't sit still and looked at the people of the Spirit Sword Sect with pleading eyes.
With Situ Zhengliang's understanding of Situ Mingguo, he felt that with Situ Mingguo's unyielding character, it was completely possible for him to do such a thing under provocation. Now that the people of the Purple Cloud Palace had accused them, it was unlikely that this matter would be let go, unless the people of the Spirit Sword Sect could speak for them.
Situ Zhengliang's question had an ulterior motive. Zhao Xin was a steady person, so he asked the people of the Spirit Sword Sect whether they had seen Zhao Xin or not, not whether they had seen Situ Mingguo! With his understanding of Situ Mingguo, if Situ Mingguo couldn't get help from the Purple Cloud Palace, it was very likely that he would go to the Spirit Sword Sect to try his luck.
Looking at the pleading eyes of Situ Zhengliang and Pang Xin, Cai Jin really wanted to go easy on them. After all, it was difficult to repay a debt of gratitude. However, after the incident of Han Yi and the others fleeing from the battle, the current Spirit Sword Sect was no longer the Spirit Sword Sect of the past. Shu Mountain was unhappy with them, so he absolutely did not dare to do anything out of line at this time.
"Wei Xinlin, did you see Zhao Xin? Answer truthfully." Cai Jin said.
"Patriarch Situ, I didn't see Zhao Xin, but I saw Situ Mingguo. Just as fellow Daoist Ling Xue said, Situ Mingguo did come to our Spirit Sword Sect's orchard to lobby! However, before Situ Mingguo could finish, he was scolded away by Leader Han! "Wei Xinlin said.
"This, this can't be true, this can't be true!"
Situ Zhengliang argued in a low voice. He and Cai Jin looked at Qin Haotian with pleading eyes, silently begging him to be lenient.
"This must be true!" Yan Rui, the talkative disciple of Shu Mountain that Gu Zheng had seen, also said at this time, "Situ Family's orchard is quite far from the Spirit Sword Sect's orchard! However, when we cleaned up the spirit beasts in the Shu Mountain's orchard and collectively looked for medicinal herbs, near the Spirit Sword Sect's orchard, we saw Situ Mingguo with an unhappy face. At that time, I wondered why he would appear in that place. Now that I think about it, he should have just been scolded by the people of the Spirit Sword Sect! "
"Let me add, Yan Rui only saw the unhappy Situ Mingguo after he came out of the forest. But at that time, I, who was climbing on the top of the tree to pick fruits in the forest, saw Situ Mingguo leave the Spirit Sword Sect's orchard with my own eyes. "Luo Xiao also spoke.
Yan Rui and Luo Xiao had very special identities in Shu Mountain. Among the Shu Mountain disciples who had entered the Shu Ruins, only he and Luo Xiao dared to speak at this time without asking for permission.
Yan Rui would testify against Situ Mingguo because he was telling the truth. And Luo Xiao would testify against Situ Mingguo because when they had just entered the Shu Ruins, she had heard Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin's sarcasm! Because of this, when she passed by Situ Mingguo, she had scolded him for being a villain.
"Sigh!"
Qin Haotian sighed and wiped his forehead with his hand. "This is really an eventful period! Why did all these scum appear in the opening of the Shu Ruins this time? "
Glancing fiercely at Situ Zhengliang and Pang Xin, Qin Haotian spoke again, "I have already punished Sect Master Cai for his negligence in disciplining his disciples. Naturally, I can't be partial to you now! However, in terms of the plot, Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin's mistakes are lighter than those of Han Yi and the others. The punishment for your two sects will naturally be different. " Qin Haotian's voice paused, and then he said very sternly, "Qingcheng Sect and Situ Family, you two don't need to pay tribute this time, but now I want to punish you! According to the ratio of three people per family, you have to hand over the resources to Shu Mountain within a month! "
"Yes."
Situ Zhengliang and Pang Xin answered at the same time. The two of them seemed to have completely lost their spirit, as if they had been defeated in a battle. In this trip to the Shu Ruins, their two families had lost people and immortal weapons. They had no harvest at all and had to be punished. It was indeed a bit miserable.
His eyes swept over all the branch sects again, and Qin Haotian stood up again.
"The trip to the Shu Ruins is over. After you go back to the guest rooms, you can have a good rest."
"As for the quota to enter the Spirit Sword Area, according to the usual practice, you have to go to Elder Lin's place to pay tribute and register within two days."
"According to the usual practice, the banquet should be held at noon, but this time it's different! Among us cultivators, there is Sect Leader Gu, a master of cooking. Elder Feng and Elder Qin, who have tasted his dishes, can't stop praising his cooking skills! "
"Therefore, I've decided to let Sect Leader Gu cook the dishes at this banquet. The luncheon will be changed to a banquet. I wonder if Sect Leader Gu has any objections?"
Looking at Qin Haotian's smiling eyes, Gu Zheng also smiled. "I have no objections at all. It's my honor to be able to cook such a banquet!"
The people in the hall left one after another. The divine thoughts that had been spying on Gu Zheng were also cut off after he left the hall.
"Phew …"
Gu Zheng let out a long breath. Although everything was within his expectations, the trip to the hall was really not easy at all.
However, Gu Zheng also understood that the "interrogation" was not over yet. The "interrogation" from Han Songzi would be at the latest in the afternoon. Some things that happened in the Shu Ruins that Qin Haotian did not ask about would definitely be asked by Han Songzi at that time.
