C24 Hall interrogation

Zhang Daoqing's figure appeared in everyone's line of sight. With a wave of his sleeve, a surge of spirit energy wrapped around the Darkya sword and flew in front of Han Fei. At the same time, he shouted, "The Sect Leader Senior Brother bestowed this sword to you. But you? Yet, you kill all these people here for a small matter. Don't you feel ashamed of the Sect Leader's and your Master's nurturing? "

The anger on Han Fei's face immediately dissipated without a trace. He kept the Darkya Sword and said in a low voice, "What Elder Zhou said is true, this disciple knows his wrongs."

Seeing that Han Fei had taken the initiative to admit his fault, Zhang Daoqing's expression softened a little. He turned around and said to Xie Hu: "You are already a disciple of the Tianming Sect, not a country bumpkin.

Xie Hu also lost his temper and took the initiative to admit his mistakes, "This disciple knows his wrongs."

Zhang Daoqing snorted coldly, he looked at Han Yan, and just as he was about to say something, he swallowed his words back and said in a clear voice: "Do what you need to do. Don't stay here any longer. With that last sentence, his voice grew stern.

After everyone left, Zhang Daoqing brought the three of them and flew towards the mountain top. When they were near the mountain peak, an imposing palace appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Clouds shrouded the surroundings of the hall as it was filled with spirit energy. When the sunlight shone on it, purple qi appeared out of nowhere like a holy land of immortals, causing people to feel respect and admiration towards it. On the giant signboard in front of the great hall, there were three large golden words written in the name of the "Hall of Daylight". The words were carved with a golden hook and a silver slash, giving off a domineering aura that could sweep the world.

There was a huge square in front of the hall, much larger than the square he had seen before when he came to the sect's assessment. Not only that, the square floor was all made of white jade, glittering with light. At a glance, it gave birth to a tiny heart. There was a circular lake in front of the plaza, and lotus flowers were planted on the lake. The lotus flowers were fluttering in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance. In the middle of the lake stood an arched bridge, without a seat or a pier. It rose into the air, one end resting on the square, the other leading to the front of the great hall.

Everyone walked across the bridge and up the ninety-nine steps to the great hall.

The interior of the palace was filled with light. On the wall at the very center was a huge word 'Dao'. The characters were formed from nature and seemed to contain a supreme heavenly law. In front of the words, there was a sandalwood large chair and an old man dressed in a yellow robe sat on the chair. The sect rules stated that all disciples who wore yellow robes had to have a cultivation of golden core stage. There was an exception to this rule, and that was the Sect Leader.

Although the Sect Leader was dressed in yellow, the color of his robe was slightly lighter than the one worn by the Supreme Elder, who was in the golden core stage Realm.

Amongst the various empires, anyone who became the Sect Master of the Orthodoxy would all have their own titles.

Taoist Master Hong had already received Zhang Daoqing's sound transmission long ago, when he saw the crowd walk over, he asked in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Zhang, what did the three of them do?"

Zhang Daoqing walked to the center of the hall and stopped. He cupped his hands and said: "Sect Leader Senior Brother, the three of them fought in front of the pill room because of some small matters, and they even emitted killing intent …" When they had explained the situation before, they continued, "Disciple thinks that this matter must be dealt with strictly, otherwise, how is it different from killing people at every turn compared to those in the demonic world?"

Dao Master Hong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You can go back for now! Naturally, I will take care of this matter. "

Zhang Daoqing's face sank, and said: "Sect Leader Senior Brother …"

Spiritual Master Hong Dao's gaze was like lightning. He landed in front of Zhang Daoqing and asked seriously, "Junior Brother Zhang, did you not hear what this sovereign has said?"

Zhang Daoqing only felt that half of his body could be seen through when his gaze fell on him, and immediately said: "Disciple understands."

After he left, Daoist Master Hong Daoyi did not say anything. Instead, he slowly picked up a book from the side and began to read. The three of them stood inside the hall as if they were sitting on pins and needles. They didn't know how the Sect Leader would punish them. As time passed, Daoist Master Hong said nothing, as if he had forgotten about them. When the sun was about to set, Adept Hong Daoyi put down the book in his hand and stood up.

The three of them stared at Daoist Master Hong, feeling extremely nervous. Just when they thought Daoist Master Hong was about to speak, they saw him walk towards the side door, as if he was about to leave. The three felt their hearts tighten. If the Sect Leader really left, wouldn't they have to stay here for the night?

Xie Hu could not hold it in and asked: "Sect Leader, how are you going to punish us?"

Daoist Master Hong Dao stopped in his tracks, looked at Xie Hu and asked, "What crime did you all commit? Tell me everything. "

Xie Hu hurriedly kneeled on the ground and said: "This disciple should not have said those dirty words, I am insulting the sacred grounds of the Immortal family."

Dao Master Hong nodded, then looked at Han Yan and Han Fei, and asked: "What about you two?"

Han Fei also knelt down, and said truthfully: "Disciples should not carry killing intent, and even more so should not attack fellow disciples from the same sect."

The two of them knelt down, yet Han Yan stood there without moving. His face was solemn as he fearlessly looked at Spiritual Master Hong Daozi, and said neither humble nor arrogant, "Disciple is innocent."

Spiritual Master Hong Dao was somewhat surprised as he quickly walked in front of Han Yan and said, "You are filled with killing intent, your eyes are filled with hatred, and you still claim that you are innocent?" His body released an enormous pressure, and enveloped Han Yan's body. Under this pressure, Han Yan felt that he was unable to breathe, and could suffocate to death at any time.

Xie Hu, who was at the side, could not watch it any longer. Pulling on Han Yan's clothes, he gave him a meaningful glance.

Han Yan acted as if he did not see it, and insisted: "Disciple is innocent." The enormous pressure caused his internal organs to be dislocated, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Han Yan's face was pale white, he straightened his back. He knew in his heart that if the pressure continued for even a moment longer, he would die without a doubt. But even so, he would not plead guilty, because he was not guilty at all.

Astonishment flashed past Daoist Master Hong Dao's eyes as he withdrew his aura. He then asked Han Yan, "If you say you are not guilty, why?"

Han Yan inhaled a few large gulps of fresh air, then said: "Han Fei insulted my parents, if there is no hatred, and no killing intent at all, is he still human?" He could tolerate insulting his parents, but he could not tolerate insulting his parents.

Daoist Master Hong said, "You should know that Taoist has to forget about destiny. If destiny and fate do not end in this world, it would be very difficult to raise one's cultivation as long as one reaches the end."

With Han Yan's current cultivation, it was still not the time to cut off all ties with the mortal world. If one's Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage could not sever ties of existence, one's cultivation would either become stagnant, or it would be difficult for one to take even a single step. But even so, Han Yan would still persevere on with his own thoughts, and said seriously: "Sect Leader, the disciple you are talking about, understands, but this mortal disciple will never be able to cut him down. If he is also guilty of this, then disciple will have nothing to say."

He looked at Han Yan for a moment, and said slowly, "Since you are not guilty, then this sovereign will not punish you. However, I must remind you, the Great Way of the Merciless, what path did you choose, and never regret it."

Han Yan was startled, then cupped his hands and said: "Disciple understands."

I will give you two three years of time. If you two are able to cultivate to the realm above Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage, then forget about this matter, if you are unable to do it, everyone will face the wall for ten years. Do you understand? "

Both of them were confused, but they still said, "Disciple understands."

Adept Hong waved his hand, saying, "You can go back!"

The three of them left the hall. Han Fei glared at Han Yan as he rode his flying sword towards them.

Xie Hu snorted coldly, and rushed towards the direction that Han Fei had left in, and said angrily: "What arrogance! Didn't you lose to us today?"

Han Yan smiled bitterly and did not say a word, but in his heart he was reflecting on the Sect Leader's words.

Never regret what path you chose.

"What does that mean?" Han Yan thought for a long time, but still could not think of the meaning in his words, according to what he said, the Sect Leader should be punishing him, so why not? Also, wasn't Han Fei's punishment a little too light? Wasn't Xie Hu's punishment a little too heavy? In three years, it should not be difficult for Han Fei to reach Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage, but it was basically impossible for Xie Hu.

Along the way, Xie Hu couldn't help but ask: "Han Yan, what do you think the Sect Master wants to do? He wants me to cultivate to the Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage in three years, it's basically an impossible task."

Han Yan spread out his hands and said: "I don't know either, I might want to give you some pressure."

Xie Hu did not agree with him and said depressingly: "Even if you give me pressure, it's still too much! Even if we do not sleep, it would be impossible for us to cultivate to the Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage in three years. "

After Han Yan and the others left the Heaven's Expanse Palace, an old man dressed in red walked out from a side door.

As soon as the old man entered the hall, he said, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, what was the meaning of your actions just now?"

If Han Yan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person. He was precisely the elder who had agreed to bring Han Yan to the Tianming Sect for the examination, and had failed the examination and sent him to the Outer Academy.

"Junior brother, you can't tell either?" Daoist Master Hong Dao turned around and sighed, "Ah, Wang Meng! You don't have to call me Sect Leader, just call me by my name! "

Wang Meng walked up to Daoist Master Hong Dao1 and said: "In private, we are brothers, but in Tianming Sect, we must call him Sect Leader Senior Brother."

Daoist Master Hong Shi saw that he was insisting, and did not speak further. He changed the topic, "Just now that brat is called Han Yan, I have already investigated his situation."

Wang Meng was startled, and asked: "Did you check it?"

Daoist Master Hong saw his nervous appearance and faintly smiled. "A beggar entering the Orthodoxy to cultivate, how could I not investigate? I also found out that you were the one who led him into the sect. However, just like you, he had a stubborn temper and his heart is set on one thing. He suddenly changed the topic and continued: "I have been thinking for a long time about the information you brought back. I only thought about how to deal with them when I saw them."

Wang Meng did not understand his intentions, and said: "Sect Leader Senior Brother, what does punishing them have to do with the news I brought back?"

Dao Master Hong said, "The Qi Nation, State of Zhao, and Chu Country are currently training their disciples. They have also achieved great results in the past few years. If my guess is correct, there will definitely be a war within three to five years. The war between empires is actually just a battle between cultivation sects. Even if we don't participate, we will still be involved. You should know about Han Yan's situation, after he became an official disciple, he had never left his cave, and had cultivated day and night. I never thought that he would actually reach the second level of the Refinement Stage, with his talent, it can be said to be a miracle. "

Wang Meng nodded his head, and said as if he agreed: "His talent is indeed very bad, I never thought that he would have this kind of perseverance, able to cultivate day and night."

Adept Hong said, "That's why I feel that as long as you train hard, you will definitely be able to produce results."

Hearing that, Wang Meng suddenly realized and said: "Sect Leader Senior Brother, you want them to train hard?"

Daoist Master Hong looked at the sky outside the great hall and seemed to have made a very important decision. He said in a deep voice, "Not only will they have to train hard, the sect will also have to support them. They must be able to cultivate within three years. I do not believe that the disciples of the Tianming Sect can compare up to the disciples of the sect in terms of what they need and what the sect can provide. "
