The result
The Law Enforcement Hall was located at the extreme north of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
That place was filled with lone peaks. Every single peak was like a sword that pierced the heavens. They were all emitting an icy cold aura. The Law Enforcement Hall was located at the center of the lone peak. It was surrounded by a dark abyss.
At that moment, the curtain of night gradually descended.
The crowd stood in the air and stared at the Law Enforcement Hall in front of them. They all maintained their silence. Even the sound of their breathing was especially slow. This caused the entire place to become even quieter. It was so quiet that it was somewhat frightening.
What had happened today was too strange. While the news had spread throughout the Wanjian Pavilion, it had also attracted the curiosity of countless people. At that moment, they had all gathered here because they wanted to know how this matter would end.
The night gradually deepened.
The bright moon hung high in the night sky. Its gentle moonlight shone on the crowd's bodies. However, the crowd was not in the mood to admire the moon. All of their gazes were still focused in front of them. They did not dare to look away as they were afraid that they would miss something.
Creak!
At that moment, a melodious sound was emitted from the huge bronze door of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Then, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the huge bronze door opened. Figures slowly walked out. They all had their heads lowered and their expressions were dispirited. They did not even utter a single word. There was only silence.
"Strange. Why are there so few people? It seems like there are only five hundred or so people."
Looking at the elders and deacons slowly walking out, the crowd's gazes suddenly froze.
One must know that there were over three thousand elders and deacons who had been detained in the Law Enforcement Hall. However, at that very moment, only five hundred or so people had walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall.
This was indeed somewhat strange!
There was no lack of curious people in the crowd. After pondering for a moment, they slowly walked towards the elders and deacons and softly inquired.
However, none of the elders and deacons replied. They all silently left the place.
Such a strange scene caused the crowd to be even more confused. They looked at each other and were about to start discussing when the tightly shut huge bronze door in front of them slowly opened again.
This time, the number of elders and deacons who walked out of the huge bronze door was quite large. There were at least a thousand of them.
However, what was different was that each of them was accompanied by a member of the Law Enforcement Team. The two thousand plus people immediately soared into the sky and flew toward the direction of the Outer Gate right after they left the Law Enforcement Hall.
In the blink of an eye, the two thousand plus people left, leaving behind only their pitch-black silhouettes. Other than that, there was nothing else.
"The expressions of these elders and deacons seemed to be very heavy. Each of them let out a long sigh when they left the Law Enforcement Hall."
"Apart from that, why are there people from the Law Enforcement Squad following them?"
"First, there were five hundred people. Then, there were over a thousand people. In that case, why haven't the remaining elders and attendants left yet? Could it be that the Law Enforcement Hall's trial has yet to end?"
All sorts of suspicions rose up in the hearts of the crowd, causing them to become even more puzzled. As they looked at the Tribunal Court, they held their breaths and slowly approached it.
Yiya!
The sound of the door opening that affected the hearts of countless people rang out once again.
The crowd immediately looked towards the source of the sound, only to see that there was only one figure behind the giant bronze door. His back was as straight as a sword, and his footsteps were light and slow. Every step he took seemed relaxed and at ease, without a trace of heaviness.
This person was naturally Chu Xingyun.
The moment he walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall, Xia Qingcheng flew out from the crowd and landed in front of him.
She sized up Chu Xingyun, and only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was fine. The huge rock that had been hanging in her heart was finally put down slowly.
"What? Did you think that I wouldn't be able to come out? "Seeing Xia Qingcheng's reaction, Chu Xingyun joked.
"According to the sect rules, those who kill fellow sect members for no reason should be beheaded. Although you are the Sword Master, this punishment is still unavoidable. If I didn't see you walk out in one piece, I would have really thought that …"
Xia Qingcheng stared at Chu Xingyun, and there were actually some tears in her eyes.
But not long after, she adjusted herself and changed the topic, "Since you're safe and sound, there's no need to say the rest. Oh right, before you walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall, two groups of elders and deacons left first. What's going on?"
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd's eyes narrowed slightly, and they all listened attentively.
Obviously, they also wanted to know the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Chu Xingyun could feel the crowd's curiosity, and did not hide much. He explained, "The first group of elders and deacons that left totaled more than five hundred people. Their crimes were not serious, and they were also meritorious in managing the outer sect. Therefore, after the Law Enforcement Hall gave them a warning, they were allowed to leave."
"As for the second group of elders and deacons, their crimes were more serious. After discussion, they were willing to contribute all the resources of their families to make up for their mistakes. The Law Enforcement Team members who accompanied them were in charge of supervision, and they were not allowed to hold anything back."
After these two words, the crowd already had a hard time thinking.
In their opinion, Chu Xingyun was the main culprit of today's incident, and he should be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall.
However, in the end, Chu Xingyun left the Law Enforcement Hall unscathed, while the first two groups of elders and deacons were warned, and the other had to contribute all the resources of their families to make up for their mistakes.
What was this!
Why did the Law Enforcement Hall make such a foolish decision!
Xia Qingcheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. She paused and asked again, "What about the remaining elders and deacons? What are their punishments? Why haven't they left the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"You don't have to wait for the remaining people. They are all sentenced to death." Chu Xingyun shrugged and said casually.
"Death penalty?" Xia Qingcheng's mind exploded, and she was immediately stunned.
Not only her, but the surrounding crowd's hearts also trembled, and they thought that they were hallucinating.
There were more than three thousand elders and deacons in the outer sect.
More than five hundred people were severely warned by the Law Enforcement Hall, and they left the place in disgrace.
More than one thousand people were willing to contribute all the resources of their families to make up for their mistakes.
In the end, more than one thousand five hundred people were sentenced to death.
Before this, the crowd had thought of countless possible outcomes. However, the final decision was completely out of their expectations!
"The circumstances of those 1500 people were too vile. Quite a few of them colluded with each other. Therefore, in order to clean up the atmosphere of the Outer Sect, Sword Master Wu Chen personally decided to kill all of them. Not only that, after those people died, their families were also ordered to have their properties confiscated."
In the midst of his speech, Chu Xingyun shook his head and exclaimed, "Although the outcome is cruel, everything is done according to the law. I can only say that the actions of those people were too stupid, and they ended up sacrificing themselves and their families."
After saying this, Chu Xingyun withdrew his gaze and left the place under the crowd's gaze.
At the moment when he took a step forward …
In the Law Enforcement Hall, a shrill cry could be heard all of a sudden. It was extremely clear in the silent night sky, which awakened thousands of birds and shocked the crowd.
