Chapter 5823: Unclear Motives

There is only one castle on the plain in the center of Zhengxuan Sect, surrounded by open grassland.

At this moment, many people have gathered on the grassland around the castle, including elders, deacons, and Xuancang disciples.

In front of the castle, a man was kneeling, Zhou Zhenhui.

He knelt facing the castle, lowered his head, and his eyes were calm. It was hard to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

The people gathered around him were also silent, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"What happened? Why is Elder Zhou kneeling here?"

"Strange, Elder Zhou is a saint after all. Although he is cold and ruthless on weekdays, he shouldn't be punished to kneel."

"Today is not as simple as kneeling. It is said that Elder Zhou's cultivation will be abolished."

"What big thing happened!?"

Some elders and deacons were secretly communicating with each other, and they had no idea what was going on.

At this time, a man walked out of the castle, who was the leader of Zhengxuan Sect.

"Greetings to the leader!"

Everyone bowed in unison, and their eyes and tone were extremely respectful.

After all, the leader is a star master, a super strong man who is above everyone else. With just one thought, he can make everyone present disappear into ashes.

How can everyone not be in awe of such a strong man?

The leader's attitude was very peaceful. He looked around at the people around him and said, "I guess you are all very curious about why I summoned you today.

In fact, the punishment I am about to execute does not require you to watch the ceremony.

I asked you to come just to let you know that you should never take the future of Zhengxuan Sect as a joke.

Only if we cultivate stronger cultivators and discover more extraordinary talents can Zhengxuan Sect stand tall in the Western Continent."

After a pause, the leader said to Liu Heng who was standing by the castle gate: "Elder Liu, tell everyone the details."

"Yes, leader."

Elder Liu took the order, stepped out of the crowd, and told everything that happened in the selection of Xuancang disciples.

Some Xuancang disciples already knew these things.

But the deacons, elders, and more Xuancang disciples present did not pay attention to the previous selection, so they did not know about Chen Yang's leapfrog battle and Elder Zhou's killing.

At this moment, when they heard that Zhengxuan Sect had produced a demon with extraordinary talent, everyone was surprised and happy.

When they heard that Elder Zhou actually concealed the truth and killed people, everyone did not rush to spit on Elder Zhou, but felt extremely suspicious.

Because everyone couldn't figure out why Elder Zhou wanted to kill Chen Yang, which was completely of no benefit to him.

It seemed that he had no motive at all.

Although everyone was curious about this question, more attention was still placed on Chen Yang.

Such a genius can be said to have raised the height of the genius of the entire Xiji Continent. Compared with him, those so-called geniuses in history are not qualified to be compared with him.

"Zhou Zhenhui concealed the truth and killed his disciples, violating Article 91 of the Zhengxuan Sect's rules!"

The voice of the leader sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

He continued, "According to the rules of the church, if you violate the ninety-first rule, as Elder Zhou Zhenhui, you will be fined one year's salary and endure ten days of thunderstorms.

But at the same time, Elder Zhou also violated another rule.

Article 153, endangering the safety of the Zhengxuan Church.

With Chen Yang's talent, there is no doubt that he will inevitably influence the situation of the entire Western Continent in the future, and even become the strongest force against the Night Demon Clan.

Therefore, Elder Zhou's killing of Chen Yang is a threat to our church.

According to the one hundred and fifty-three rules, Elder Zhou should be executed."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"It seems that the sound transmission is false, which is even more serious than abolishing the cultivation. Elder Zhou should be killed directly."

Hou Hui pondered, with a flash of worry in his eyes. If Zhou Zhenhui died, he would lose the clue to the matter he wanted to investigate.

Chen Yang glanced at Zhou Zhenhui and shook his head. He did not think that the leader had made a conclusion on the incident.

Executing a saint master is no joke.

The leader changed the subject and continued, "However, Zhou Zhenhui attempted murder, but he only had corresponding behavior, so the punishment should be reduced.

Moreover, he had made many contributions to the Zhengxuan Sect, which can offset his mistakes.

So I decided to reduce his realm to that of a Heavenly Master."

Some elders who were on good terms with Zhou Zhenhui were slightly relieved when they heard this. Although his realm had fallen, it was better than being killed or completely abolishing his cultivation.

As long as Zhou Zhenhui was still alive, it was not impossible for him to recover his realm in the future.

"Zhou Zhenhui, are you satisfied with my punishment for you?"

The leader looked at Zhou Zhenhui and asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Zhenhui lowered his head and said, "The leader dealt with it impartially, how dare Zhou Zhenhui disobey."

The leader said, "Then, let me ask you again, what was your motive for killing Chen Yang? If you tell the truth, perhaps the punishment can be reduced."

Zhou Zhenhui said, "Leader, I have already said that because Chen Yang contradicted me, I was so angry that I killed him."

No one believed this answer was true.

How could it be possible that he killed a peerless genius just by contradicting me.

"It seems that you are not going to tell the truth."

The leader looked annoyed and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then I will do it."

As soon as the voice fell, the leader flicked his finger and a starlight drilled into Zhou Zhenhui's body.

Zhou Zhenhui showed a painful expression on his face, his body twitched, and then he fainted.

"Elder Liu, take him away and lock him up first."

The leader ordered Liu Heng.

Liu Heng looked at Zhou Zhenhui with sympathy, then took him into the castle and locked him up in the dungeon of the castle.

The leader looked at everyone present and said, "Elder Zhou is a lesson for us. Remember, Zhengxuan Sect is our common home. We must work hard to build our home, not destroy it."

"Follow the instructions of the leader." Everyone said in unison.

The leader waved his hand, motioning everyone to retreat, and turned to enter the castle.

Although the leader did not release energy just now, the invisible momentum made people feel suffocated.

Now that the leader left, everyone standing outside the castle felt relieved.

"Chen Yang, I'm Elder Zhu. If you have any questions in the future, you can find me."

"Chen Yang, I'm Deacon Lian."

"Young people are formidable!"

This time, Chen Yang became the focus. Except for a few high-level saint masters with extraordinary status, almost everyone else greeted him and became familiar with him.

After all, Chen Yang is gifted and is now a person valued by the leader. No one wants to oppose him.

It would be better to be friends.

After everyone dispersed, Chen Yang relaxed and immediately returned to Xuancang Mountain with Hou Hui.

Unexpectedly, just as he landed, Yao Yunting chased him and shouted, "Senior Brother Chen, stay!"
