Free Web NovelChapter 650: 733 Sect Welfare
All eyes in the audience instantly turned to Chen Mo.
The Shenxiao Sect has only sixty-four direct disciples, fewer in number than the elders.
Their status is even higher than the inner and outer elders, because every direct disciple has the potential to become the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect in the future, which symbolizes an extraordinary significance.
Now that Chen Mo has killed a direct disciple’s brother, he is destined for death.
Many people looked on with schadenfreude.
Su Huang frowned and said, "As far as I understand, everything Chen Mo has done falls within the rules. Moreover, deaths and injuries within the Profound Spirit Mirror are not under the jurisdiction of the Punishment Hall."
"These are orders from above, and I hope Elder Su won’t make things difficult for us." The leading disciple looked at Chen Mo, and the eyes of the crowd earlier also made it clear to him who Chen Mo was.
"Don’t anyone think about taking the master away." Xiao Jiu stood in front of Chen Mo, shouting at the few above.
Jiang Ruoqing drew her weapon, ready to fight to the death, even if she couldn’t win.
Injured Zhao Qianyi was the same.
"Sister." Nangong Yue glanced at Nangong Xue.
Nangong Xue’s eyes narrowed slightly, biting her thin lips, hesitating for a long while before saying, "Xiaoyue, when the fight starts, protect yourself."
With that said, the twin swords appeared in her hands.
"What, are you shielding a criminal?" The leading disciple’s face suddenly turned cold, anger appearing in his eyes, and the next moment, a powerful aura was overwhelming towards Chen Mo and the others.
Su Huang raised his hand, and this aura completely dissipated.
"Elder Su, what do you mean by this?" The leading disciple frowned.
"Peng Hai, since it’s orders from above, do you have an arrest warrant talisman? Show the arrest warrant talisman, and I will let you take the person immediately." Su Huang said.
"Of course I have..." Peng Hai took out a piece of talisman paper from his chest, jumped off the Immortal Crane, and handed the talisman paper to Su Huang.
While Su Huang was examining it, Peng Hai suddenly made a move, his figure like a ghost, grabbing towards Chen Mo.
What Peng Hai did not expect was that he grabbed empty air.
Chen Mo’s figure appeared several yards away in an instant.
"Shadowless Illusion?!" Peng Hai froze slightly, then angrily said: "Dare to resist arrest!"
As he was about to grab again, he was stopped by Su Huang: "Peng Hai, you actually forged an arrest warrant talisman."
"Elder Su, don’t slander me, I never said it was an arrest warrant talisman." Peng Hai stepped back two steps, said.
"Since there is no arrest warrant talisman, you have no right to arrest anyone." Su Huang’s tone also turned a bit hostile.
"Elder Su, are you really going to offend the Punishment Hall for a newly joined outer sect disciple?" Peng Hai looked at Su Huang, with a hint of threat in his words.
"You don’t represent the Punishment Hall, please leave." Su Huang said.
"Elder Su." Peng Hai’s tone became heavier, saying: "He killed Senior Brother Long’s brother."
"Since when did the Punishment Hall become Long Xiaoyao’s lackey?"
Before Su Huang could respond, a voice sounded from the void, and everyone looked up to see the void slightly wriggle, and a figure walked out, it was Qing Ye.
"Elder Qing Ye."
"Elder Qing Ye."
"..."
At the moment Qing Ye appeared, all the inner sect disciples riding on the Immortal Cranes descended, got off the cranes, and respectfully cupped their hands towards Qing Ye.
"The rules of the assessment this time did not forbid killing; furthermore, this matter was caused by Long Jie, and his death is entirely his own fault, blaming no one else. As the main examiner for this assessment, I am responsible, Chen Mo is innocent, and this matter is not under the jurisdiction of the Punishment Hall." Qing Ye said.
"But Elder Qing Ye, the one who died is Senior Brother Long’s brother. Now Senior Brother Long is in seclusion, when he knows..."
"When he emerges, I will personally find him. Now, wherever you came from, go back there." Qing Ye interrupted Peng Hai directly.
"But Elder Qing Ye..."
"What, don’t you understand my words?"
Qing Ye’s gaze swept over, and a vast and powerful True Qi, like a thunderstorm, violently swept out from his body, as if the heavens and earth were trembling slightly under its pressure.
Everyone present couldn’t help but change color, even those Immortal Cranes lowered their proud heads, burying them under their wings.
The true qi pressure made Peng Hai’s whole body’s bones creak, and cold sweat dripped from his back.
"N-No, I dare not." Peng Hai said.
"Then hurry up and leave."
"Leave, leaving right away." Peng Hai mounted the Immortal Crane, and with a few people, left looking ashamed.
"Thank you, Elder Qing Ye." Chen Mo respectfully clasped his fists at Qing Ye.
Qing Ye glanced at him, "No need, I didn’t do this because of you."
After saying that, Qing Ye left.
Leaving the stunned crowd looking around foolishly.
Then whispers started.
"This kid is really lucky to have two elders stand up for him."
"Protected for a while, but can’t be protected forever. Offended a direct disciple, he’ll have a tough time in the future."
"When Senior Brother Long comes out of seclusion, Chen Mo is surely dead."
"That’s right."
"..."
"Sigh." Even Su Huang sighed, these inner sect disciples dared to arrest people ignoring him, showing the arrogance of direct disciples, Chen Mo is just a Blue Body, in the future it might be...
"If there’s nothing, stay within the sect, don’t go out." Su Huang said to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo frowned slightly.
Long Xiaoyao hasn’t even come out of seclusion, and someone has already made a move for him.
When he comes out, it’ll be even worse.
The power of these direct disciples is greater than he imagined.
...
Su Huang took them to collect a set of outer sect disciple clothes, along with an identity token, a Qiankun Ring, two jade scrolls, a delicate longsword, and a book.
According to Su Huang, these clothes are made of Celestial Silkworm Silk, impervious to swords and spears, resistant to water and fire, and dust-free.
The identity token is proof that they are disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.
The Qiankun Ring contains some basic elixirs.
Like Solid Essence Pills, Hemostatic Pills, and Scar-removal Pills.
The two jade scrolls record two divine techniques, though only of Yellow Tier advanced level, considered basic divine techniques of the Shenxiao Sect that every outer sect disciple receives.
Though the longsword isn’t a magical artifact, it can cut iron like mud and be infused with true qi for sword flight.
The book provides an introduction to the Shenxiao Sect, some annotations of medicinal materials, and basic explanations of cultivation.
After collecting their items, Su Huang took everyone to the outside of the Scripture Pavilion: "The points you earned within the Profound Spirit Mirror can be exchanged in the Scripture Pavilion for divine techniques you want. Of course, divine techniques obtained can only be read inside the Scripture Pavilion and cannot be taken out.
Additionally, points can be earned by accepting missions from the Divine Light Hall; completing each mission earns you corresponding points."
