"This... I..." Elder Li was speechless for a moment.
"You haven't even knelt down like your little apprentice," He Youtian opened his mouth again, his tone carrying a hint of anger.
A muffled "thud" sound, the second elder fell heavily to the ground, his face exceptionally pale.
At this moment, the other elders finally turned around, and the gazes of the other disciples finally fell on the second elder.
The expressions of the elders could not be described, complex, sorrowful, regretful, and a hint of resentment towards the second elder. The disciples were initially reluctant to anger, but soon appeared emotions were disappointed and grievances.
"You did not heed what Old Gong said and insisted on staying in the Lingguan Hall, leading to trouble in the Sin-energy Hall and the lama's flight."
"You only want to find an opportunity to evade responsibility, but have no intention of taking responsibility."
"Facing these disciples' corpses, you, what else can you say?!" He Youtian spoke decisively.
"I..." The second elder was even paler.
"You go to the Thunder God Cliff on your own, if female ancestor Erda forgives you, then the four rules of Mount Sheng will forgive you, this generation of the True Man position, you, resign." He Youtian shook his head, and then lifted his hand again as if to repel.
"No... Senior brother, you can't... I... I have brought back Si Yan, two female disciples, and the two lamas as well... I am guilty, but I have indeed done some good. Even if merit and demerit cannot be balanced, I cannot go to the Thunder God Cliff now!"
The second elder shook his head violently, looking particularly unwilling and stubborn.
"Tomorrow, at most after tomorrow, people from the various Daoist temples will arrive. At this moment, there cannot be a ruler in the four regulations mountain. Moreover, I will have to go to Jin Yang in the future to solve the great matter of plague and ghosts. I cannot be absent. The merit of today is not enough. Can't I redeem my sins? Four rules mountain cannot be made fun of and cannot be without a leader!"
"And what about Luo Xian Shen? Does he not have any fault at all?"
The second elder suddenly looked at me, his eyes filled with blood!
In addition, his forehead was bulging with tendons, and his entire face was filled with ferocity!
He turned on me again!
He Youtian did not speak, but simply watched the second elder silently.
The second elder's body shook uncontrollably, his skin and muscles twitched and distorted, his eyes bulged wider, and he muttered, "Yes, Hei Chengsi came for what? For Luo Xian Shen! I'm just neglecting my duty. He is the spark plug!"
"Why don't you speak anymore!? Ah, senior brother, don't you know you're in the wrong too!?"
"When I go to the Thunder God Cliff, will you kill Luo Xian Shen like what my third brother did to Sun Chu! Ah!"
The second elder sprang up abruptly, more hysterical than when he was outside the Si Guzhen.
He Youtian still didn't speak, but the disappointment in his eyes grew heavier and deeper.
"Ha ha ha! Senior brother, you say we favored Wu Ling, but in fact, your favoritism towards Luo Xian Shen is less than that?!"
"The rare medicine and even the Jade Scroll of Erda that have been preserved in the Four Regulations Mountain are all on Luo Xian Shen's body!"
"Today, you want to depose me as the True Man and send me to the Thunder God Cliff to accept punishment, but you don't say how to deal with Luo Xian Shen. Are you worthy of our teacher? Are you worthy of the various teachers and seniors?"
The second elder lifted his hand and pointed directly at He Youtian, roaring so loudly that it echoed back!
"You dare not speak, knowing you are in the wrong! But I have something to say..."
"Second brother! Shut up!" It was Elder Fourth who spoke at this moment!
In fact, before, the relationship between the second elder and the fourth elder was the best. At that time, both of them were at He Youtian's side, but Zheng Ren finally used enlightenment to draw them to his side.
"Do you really think it's your little brother who has caused harm to the Four Regulations Mountain?" Elder Fourth's tone was very stern, with a trace of pain.
"Isn't it!? Elder Fourth, what are you going to say now? Just like Senior Brother, have you been corrupted by Luo Xian Shen!?" The second elder opened his mouth again, his tone very heavy.
"Corrupted?!" Elder Fourth's eyes were filled with more and more disappointment and gravity.
"Second brother, have you not carefully thought it over? When you say this, don't you feel something is off?" Another elder spoke up, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with disappointment and complexity.
"What could be wrong? Is it because the people of Hei Chengsi did not come because of Luo Xian Shen, but because of Wu Ling? Then it would truly be a laughingstock!" The second elder waved his sleeve, appearing even more indifferent.
At this moment, another elder spoke up, his voice trembling as he said:
"Yes, it's not possible that Hei Chengsi came because of Wu Ling. If any disciple today should be punished for their sins, it should be them. But your little apprentice is different. Why did the lamas come? It's because your father, Luo Muye, is a high monk disciple. Based on what the lamas said at the beginning, perhaps the high monk is Xinbo, who is one of the strongest people in Hei Chengsi and might not be weaker than any true man in any Daoist door!"
"Xian Shen went with them? Xian Shen is on my side at the Four Regulations Mountain, he is a disciple of the Four Regulations Mountain!"
"Senior brother acted, and although Xian Shen couldn't do much help, he was there reciting spells. Moreover, he even killed a lama on his own! By rights, Xian Shen should go to Hei Chengsi, the place of bloodline. But why didn't he? Isn't it because Hei Chengsi is cruel and ruthless, willing to kill without blinking? And isn't it because he is a Taoist of the Four Regulations Mountain who would rather execute justice at the expense of kinship than be contaminated by external evil?"
"If Xian Shen should have committed suicide, then Wu Ling should not have been favored by us either, he should have committed suicide to atone for his sins. Because Mao has three hunted Dao, hunted the entire Daoism, and he doesn't know how many Daoist sects, Wu Ling has also studied in his door!"
"Now, isn't Wu Ling the same, who has destroyed his family for righteousness and returned to our Four Regulations Mountain?"
"My Four Regulations Mountain is a reputable Daoist sect and must adhere to righteousness, absolutely not bowing to evil!"
"Second brother, your words seem to be so lacking in logic, and even seem like you are stubbornly arguing without reason!"
"When the twelfth apprentice drew his sword, I should have drawn mine too! Your refusal to accept punishment is the work of your inner demons. One day, it might become a great trouble. We many apprentices will have to suppress you first!"
This array of words resound like thunder.
I was stunned.
I realized that the elders saw me in this way.
Do they think I committed the crime of violating my family for righteousness?
But for me, Hei Chengsi has nothing to do with the family at all.
Imprisoning my father for many years and taking us back will certainly not be good news.
But from a logical point of view, the elders are correct.
I just feel that I am the root of the mistake because I have completely regarded Hei Chengsi as an enemy……
"You... you..." The second elder raised his hand, and at this moment, he couldn't find words to say. His face was filled with despair and collapse.
At this moment, a figure slowly walked towards the entrance of the steps on the side of the Lingguan Hall. It was Wu Ling.
