Hearing his master's words, Guan Qingya was really a little scared.
There were some things that he didn't know. It wasn't that his master and the sect didn't want to be honest with their disciples, but that some things could only be known by the higher-ups of the sect. For example, everyone in the Secret Land of Heaven Capital had guessed that Purple Golden Cave and Niu Youdao had joined hands, but they wouldn't let everyone know what exactly they had done with Niu Youdao.
And what Niu Youdao had done with Purple Golden Cave before he left, what benefits he had exchanged with Purple Golden Cave, and what compromises the higher-ups of Purple Golden Cave had made, they wouldn't tell their disciples.
But things had already happened, so Guan Qingya wouldn't back down. Instead, he stubbornly said, "I was ignorant, but I don't regret it. As long as I can avenge you, I don't care if I die."
"Stupid!" Yan Li scolded angrily, but his disciple's words still made him feel good. Then he looked around and said in a low voice, "Now that things have come to this, your two witnesses better watch their mouths. If anything happens, don't blame me for not protecting you. Do you understand?"
How could Guan Qingya not understand what he meant when he said it so clearly? He was going to insist that Guan Fangyi was at fault first, so that the two witnesses wouldn't change their minds.
Seeing his master's attitude, he was happy, but he said seriously, "I understand. Master, don't worry. I will make sure they don't dare to say anything."
Yan Li reminded him again, "Don't stand up for this matter anymore. The sect will take care of the rest."
Guan Qingya cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Yes, I understand."
Yan Li glanced at the side of Thatched Cottage and didn't want to go forward to meet Guan Fangyi and the others again. When he was about to turn around and leave, someone sent by Gong Lince found him. "Elder Yan, the sect master has ordered you and the other elders to go to the Conference Hall to discuss matters. And Junior Brother Guan and the others who caused this. "
After notifying them, the disciple went to Mo Lingxue, who was in charge of the scene to control the situation, and ordered her to go to the Conference Hall.
After a while, several elders who were still in the sect gathered in the Conference Hall. At this time, they gathered to discuss how to solve the conflict with Thatched Cottage.
In order to solve the problem, they naturally had to find out what had happened. The troublemakers, Guan Qingya and the other two, were also summoned to the conference hall to explain what had happened.
Needless to say, Guan Qingya still insisted that it was Guan Fangyi who had acted presumptuously first. As a disciple of the Purple Golden Cave, he could not just sit back and watch, so he taught her a lesson. Initially, it was fine, but who would have thought that Yuan Gang would suddenly run out, and as soon as he showed up, he wanted to kill people. He was so arrogant that he even injured several disciples of the Purple Golden Cave.
The two disciples of the Purple Golden Cave who had come with Guan Qingya insisted on testifying.
After listening to the parties' statements, Gong Lince's attitude was ambiguous, and he did not say anything. He waved his sleeves to signal Guan Qingya and the others to leave, then stroked his beard and said, "This Yuan Gang, with his Thwart Kung Fu, was actually able to injure several disciples of my Purple Golden Cave?"
Mo Lingxue said, "I asked the disciples who fought with him at the scene. This person's Thwart Kung Fu is indeed very powerful, almost invulnerable to swords and spears. The deadly Sword Qi could only injure him on the surface, but not kill him. Otherwise, he would have been dead. "Not only does he have a strong physical defense, but he is also very strong, and his attacks are fast and fierce. He can actually fight head-on with our Golden Core cultivators with brute force alone. A group of people couldn't take him down, and they didn't dare to get close to him, so they could only attack him from a distance. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have injured more than a few of my disciples. "This person seems to have inexhaustible strength, and his stamina even when he is covered in wounds is amazing!"
Gong Lince hesitated and said, "Have you ever heard of such a brutal Thwart Kung Fu in this world?"
Everyone thought silently, then gradually shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.
Fu Junrang said, "Sect Leader, the problem now is that this matter has caused quite a stir, and the disciples are all watching. How should we deal with it?"
Gong Lince was not in a hurry to say that, in case there was no room for negotiation, so he asked, "What do you think?"
Yuan An said, "Guan Qingya said that Guan Fangyi was rude first, but Guan Fangyi said that she didn't. I'm afraid we still have to verify who is right and who is wrong, so we can't just listen to Guan Qingya's side of the story."
Yan Li didn't want to say anything, but he was unhappy when he heard this.
The elders all had their own interests, and it would be difficult for them to be harmonious when there was a conflict of interest. Yan Li didn't have much influence in the sect to begin with, so he couldn't let his disciple take responsibility. Once the responsibility was taken, Guan Qingya's power would definitely be in danger, and Yan Li's voice in the sect would be even weaker.
He immediately said, "Elder Yuan, are you saying that you would rather believe an outsider than a disciple of our sect?"
Yuan An said indifferently, "Elder Yan, that's not what I mean. Our Purple Golden Cave is a righteous sect, so we can't wrongly accuse a good person, but we can't let a bad person get away with it, right?"
Yan Li argued back, "Who's the bad person? There are two disciples of our sect as witnesses, isn't that enough to prove Guan Qingya's words? "
Fu Junrang interrupted slowly, "As far as I know, those two disciples are obedient to Guan Qingya, so they might have misjudged some things." There was a hidden meaning in his words.
"Alright, stop arguing." Seeing that someone wanted to push the matter in another direction, Gong Lince decisively interrupted the argument, "Guan Qingya and Guan Fangyi have their own reasons, and I won't take sides. Both of them have the possibility of lying, but neither of them will admit to it. Before the result is determined, as disciples of Purple Golden Cave, we should first believe in our own people. "
Since he said that, and it was reasonable, the others couldn't say anything else. The key was that Gong Lince was powerful in the sect, so they couldn't have a direct conflict with him before they had the confidence. Otherwise, Gong Lince wouldn't be someone to be trifled with.
Yan Li raised his head and looked at the roof, feeling a little happy.
Fu Junrang said, "Sect Leader, do you mean to punish the people of Thatched Cottage?"
Gong Lince said, "There are no outsiders here, so there's no need for us to beat around the bush. Niu Youdao is still in the Saint Land, representing Purple Golden Cave to train. We don't know what's going on with this training, so there will be consequences if we deal with it rashly. Also, Niu Youdao's people, if they act rashly and cause trouble, I don't think you'd want to see it. Both sides were only slightly injured, so it's not to the point where we have to do anything. What do you think? "He wanted to turn a big problem into a small one.
Yuan An said, "Sect Leader, in the eyes of our disciples, the people of Thatched Cottage are outsiders. Since we have to believe the disciples of Purple Golden Cave first, then we have to prove that Guan Qingya and the others didn't do anything wrong. Our disciples didn't do anything wrong, but a few of them were injured by outsiders. If the sect doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid it won't be justifiable. "
Gong Lince glanced at him. The disciples were easy to deal with as long as the people present were appeased, but the problem was that these people might not fully cooperate. It wasn't impossible for them to take the opportunity to fan the flames and incite the disciples to make a ruckus. The other party's words seemed reasonable, but in fact, they had ill intentions and were deliberately making things difficult for him.
As the sect leader, he had an important responsibility, which was to balance the interests of the sect. After a moment of silence, Gong Lince said Slowly, "Overall, Thatched Cottage's attitude can be considered restrained. This is a different matter. Whoever injured our disciples will be responsible, so there's no need to implicate the innocent. After all, Elder Niu is working hard for the sect in the Saint Land, so we can't do anything to disappoint him. It was that Yuan Gang who did it, right? Detain that Yuan Gang and lock him up in the prison at the back of the mountain. Warn the others from Thatched Cottage not to cause trouble again! "
Fu Junrang frowned and said, "He injured so many of our disciples. How can the disciples be convinced if he only locks us up?"
Gong Lince's expression turned cold. He stared at Fu Junrang and said coldly, "Elder Fu, I've said it before. Elder Niu is working hard for the sect in the Saint Land, even risking his life. It's best not to act rashly before we see the results. Yuan Gang will be locked up first. As for when he will be released, it depends on Elder Niu's situation in the Saint Land. Do I still need to explain myself clearly? "His tone was already very unfriendly. It was obvious that he was angry because the other party was being overbearing.
There was no need to explain himself. Everyone understood what he meant. Locking Yuan Gang up now was only temporary. Whether or not he could be released depended on Niu Youdao's situation. If Niu Youdao couldn't return alive, Yuan Gang would naturally be severely punished. At that time, it would be up to them to decide whether Yuan Gang should be killed or dismembered.
Once he lost his temper and said such things, the way he handled things was considered to be the best of both worlds. Everyone didn't say anything else.
Yan Li flattered, "Sect Leader is wise!"
Fu Junrang's cold eyes swept across. "Right now, the Thatched Cottage is in a standoff with our sect's disciples. If an ordinary disciple were to go and capture someone, I'm afraid it would cause another conflict. We need a capable person to personally oversee the execution. This matter was caused by Elder Yan's disciple. I think the matter of detaining Yuan Gang should be carried out by Elder Yan himself! "
Those who knew the ins and outs of these words could tell that there was a hidden evil intention. Yan Li's disciple had beaten up Niu Youdao's people. Now, Yan Li himself was to personally capture Niu Youdao's people. This was to push the relationship between Yan Li and Niu Youdao into a fire, causing the two of them to be completely incompatible. Once Niu Youdao returned, how could he let Yan Li off so easily?
To a certain extent, this was done with the intention of using Niu Youdao's power to suppress the Sect Leader's faction in case Niu Youdao returned.
Yan Li said angrily, "What do you mean by this matter was caused by my disciple? Elder Fu, you have to understand that it was the Thatched Cottage's people who were rude. If it was any other Purple Golden Cave disciple, they wouldn't allow outsiders to act presumptuously in our Purple Golden Cave! "
"All of you, shut up!" Gong Lince interrupted again. "It's precisely because this matter involves Elder Yan's disciple that Elder Yan must avoid arousing suspicion. Otherwise, people will say that our Purple Golden Cave handled this matter unfairly and used our power to avenge our personal grudges."
His words were reasonable and no one could refute him.
Gong Lince looked at Mo Lingxue and said, "Elder Mo, women are easy to talk to. You can handle this matter!"
"I …" Mo Lingxue choked and was speechless.
With Gong Lince's support and Gong Lince's familiarity with this kind of situation, everyone's attacks against Yan Li were resolved by Gong Lince.
