Qi Ning knew that this was the canon of the Black Lotus Sect, and he shouldn't have been involved in it, but seeing that the sect leader's methods were so vicious, he couldn't help but step forward and said, "Sect Master, if you think he has a big crime, you can kill him with one palm, why do you have to be so cruel?" ”

The sect leader glanced at Qi Ning and said coldly, "Cruel? ”

"Not bad." Qi Ning Zhengse said: "You are also a great grandmaster, and your martial arts cultivation is beyond the world, so why do you torture your subordinates like this?" ”

The sect leader sneered and said, "Since this seat founded the Black Lotus Sect back then, it has not been far from the world, so don't compare this seat with those people in the North Palace. They have a coincidence, each has its own success, only thinking about their own future, this seat is from a poor background, has suffered, but will not leave the Miao family behind. With his hands behind his back, he said lightly: "The Holy Sect is the protector of the Miao family, if even the Holy Sect itself has no rules and indulges the apostates, how can it protect the Miao family?" ”

Qi Ning opened his mouth slightly, he didn't know what happened to the Black Lotus Sect back then, and it was difficult to argue for a while.

At this time, several sect members had already carried the stake to the edge of the cliff, erected the cross stake on the edge of the cliff, and one step forward was the abyss, Luo Wuying was facing the cliff, and the blood flowed up and down his body, Qi Ning saw it in his eyes, knowing that such torture must make Luo Wuying miserable, the so-called punishment of the eight dogs did not hurt Luo Wuying's vital point, and he could not make Luo Wuying die immediately, so he could only watch his blood flow slowly.

"Sect Master, the punishment of eight dogs will last for eight days." Tianluo arched his hand and said: "Within eight days, the traitor Luo Wuying will never die, and after eight days, he will be executed." ”

Qi Ning immediately understood that Luo Wuying still had to suffer for eight days, and before the hour came, these people would not let Luo Wuying die.

"Eight days!" The sect leader looked into the distance and said lightly: "Yin Wuji, this seat is waiting for you." ”

Qi Ning was beside the sect leader, and when he heard him say the word "Yin Wuji", he was slightly surprised, knowing that this "Yin Wuji" must be a personal name, but he didn't know where it was sacred.

The Black Lotus Sect Leader punished Luo Wuying in public, and the news naturally spread throughout the entire Chaowu Ridge, and hundreds of people up and down the Black Lotus Sect suddenly fell into chaos.

Of course, this is a big deal for the Black Lotus Sect, the sect members only know that the sect leader has been in retreat for many years in recent years, and no one sees it at all, and Luo Wuying has always won the trust of the sect leader, and has been taking care of the Holy Sect on behalf of the sect leader all these years, but this time the sect leader suddenly sent an extremely harsh punishment to Luo Wuying, which made the sect members shocked and even more puzzled.

However, a small number of people in the church are vaguely aware that this incident is likely to be related to the catastrophe many years ago.

There are many people in the sect who have personally experienced the apostasy of Elder Xuanyang back then, and it has been seven or eight years, but many people still remember many of the things that happened at that time.

After Elder Xuanyang apostasy fled, the Holy Sect carried out a bloody purge, nearly 100 people under Elder Xuanyang were executed, and many people who had close contacts with Elder Xuanyang in the past also suffered a catastrophe, that bloody purge was completed in silence, extremely cruel, but it was a great secret of the Holy Sect, after the incident, several Holy Envoys quickly covered everything up, and did not let the news spread to the outside world.

This time Luo Wuying was punished, and the descendants who belonged to Luo Wuying felt that something was wrong, and the scene of the bloody purge of the year instantly appeared in front of them, no one

There is no guarantee that this will not be followed by a new purge.

On the night that Luo Wuying was punished with eight volts, Luo Wuying's descendants began to secretly abscond from Chaowuling, and the sect leader didn't seem interested in stopping these people from leaving, and in just one night, dozens of people fled from Chaowuling.

The escape of this group of people naturally caused even greater panic in Chaowuling.

Tian Luo was frightened and reported the absconding of the sect leader to the sect leader early the next morning, but the sect leader didn't care at all, and didn't even say a superfluous word.

The next night, more than a dozen people fled from Chaowuling, Tianluo knew that panic was like a plague, as long as it spread, it would soon plunge Chaowuling into greater turmoil, so he sent his own disciples to guard the critical place of Chaowuling, originally to prevent the sect members from continuing to escape, but Tianluo himself was Luo Wuying's descendants, and the people under Tianluo were all Luo Wuying's people, and there were still people fleeing on the third night, even those who were assigned to guard the road also followed and fled.

The sect leader's killing ring towards the fog ridge had already terrified the sect members, and Luo Wuying, as the Holy Sect Envoy, had ended up so miserably, the sect members were shocked, but there were many people in their hearts who were angry with the sect leader.

There are canons, and the canons of the Black Lotus Sect have always been strict, but anyone who violates the canons will naturally be punished.

In the past, even the lowest level of the sect, if they violated the canon, when they were punished, the person who executed the punishment would declare the mistakes they had committed clearly and clearly, and then punish them according to the punishment of the Holy Church, but this time the sect leader punished such an important person as Luo Wuying, and he only threw away a charge of apostasy, and even how to apostatize, but he didn't make it clear at all, although the sect members were in awe of the sect leader, but such a murder for no reason still made the sect members horrified.

Among the Holy Sect, except for a few holy envoys and some powerful characters in the sect who were personally recruited by the sect leader back then, most of the sect members were actually recruited by several holy envoys, and some of them took the initiative to defect, these sect members have been in awe of the sect leader since they entered the Holy Sect, but the sect leader is rarely with them, and the sect leader rarely directly gives orders to them, so the relationship between this group of people and several holy envoys is much closer.

The sect leader was so ruthless that the sect members were cold, and they were worried about being purged again, and after a few days, hundreds of people fled from Chaowuling.

Tian Luo knew that if he continued like this, the Black Lotus Sect would soon collapse, so he grabbed a few people and killed them in public, originally wanting to deter the sect members and make them dare not flee privately.

Tianluo was most worried that those who had fled would spread the news of Chaowuling.

Eight gangs and sixteen factions originally encircled and suppressed Chaowuling, with many casualties, although in the end, under the mediation of Qi Ning, in the name of the imperial court, the two sides of the army to stop fighting, but the Liangzi of both sides has been deeply knotted, this time there was great turmoil within the Black Lotus Sect, it can also be said that it is the weakest time since the creation of the sect, Tianluo is really worried that once the news spreads, it will make the enemy think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and launch an offensive against Chaowuling again.

It's just that the sect leader turned a blind eye to this, and Tianluo twice reported to the sect leader about the sect members' escape, but the sect leader didn't say a word, and seemed to have no interest in them.

There is a protruding rock in the northwest corner of Chaowu Ridge, which is shaped like an arrow protruding from the cliff, and it is called Arrow Cliff here.

Standing on the arrow cliff and overlooking it, the rolling Chaowuling Mountains are in full view.

The sect leader stood in front of the arrow cliff, with his hands behind his back, looking at the Chaowu Ridge covered by snow, thinking about the sky, the sect leader often came here these days, and one stop was a few hours.

A large number of sect members smuggled away, and Qi Ning, who was following the sect leader, was naturally clear about this, but of course it was inconvenient for him to say a word.

But he knew in his heart that the Sect Master's order to inflict a punishment on Luo Wuying would not only make the Black Lotus Sect members frightened, but also make them feel that the Sect Master had already acted perversely, and in such a situation, the sect members would only go more and more.

"Who the hell is the Sect Master waiting for?" Qi Ning stood behind the sect leader and finally asked with a sigh.

Although the sect leader did not restrain Qi Ning's actions on Chaowu Ridge, Qi Ning knew that if the sect leader did not speak, he would not be able to get out of Chaowu Ridge at all.

The sect leader almost hijacked himself from the ancient elephant to Xichuan, and witnessed his ferocity from the sidelines, Qi Ning didn't know what the sect leader's intentions were, let alone how long this murderous great master was going to trap himself.

Luo Wuying is still suffering the punishment of eight dogs, being tied to the cross wooden pillar to face the invasion of the cold wind, it has been five days, Luo Wuying is already dying, but he still has a breath of breath.

It was really easy for the sect leader to kill Luo Wuying, but he tortured Luo Wuying like this, Tianluo and the others may think that this was a punishment according to the canon, but Qi Ning followed closely by the sect leader's side, but he had already seen through the sect leader's intentions.

The sect leader turned his back to Qi Ning and did not speak.

"The Black Lotus Sect members were terrified of the sect leader, and the sect leader ordered Luo Wuying to be punished, but he didn't explain to everyone what crimes Bai Luo Wuying had committed, just one crime of apostasy is not convincing." Qi Ning said: "Even if the government punishes the prisoner, it will try his guilt clearly, and it will not be so vague." After a slight pause, he said, "The sect leader did this deliberately, he originally expected that someone would escape from Chaowuling. ”

The sect leader said lightly: "You are very smart. ”

"It's not that I'm smart, it's that the sect leader's wrist is very powerful." Qi Ning said: "Those sect members have fled from Chaowuling, and the matter of Chaowuling will naturally spread. The sect leader is strong in martial arts, so naturally he is not worried that the enemy will take advantage of the situation, and your purpose is to let those people take the word out. ”

"Oh?" The sect leader turned around and stared at Qi Ning's eyes: "Who do you want to bring the message to?" ”

Qi Ning and the sect leader looked at each other and pondered for a moment before saying, "When the sect leader said that Luo Wuying betrayed the Black Lotus Sect, it was not just you, but you, so in the sect leader's heart, the person who betrayed you was certainly not just Luo Wuying. He sighed: "The sect leader is the Black Lotus sect leader and the great grandmaster, with the strength of Luo Wuying alone, of course it is impossible to let the sect leader!" ”

The sect leader didn't say a word, Qi Ning saw that his face didn't change, and then said: "Luo Wuying, they betrayed the sect leader, if I didn't guess wrong, the matter should have happened when the Xuanyang elders apostatized, in fact, the incident in the Black Lotus Sect was not the so-called Xuanyang Elder apostasy, but someone joined forces to betray the sect leader, but those few people knew that the sect leader was the root of the Black Lotus Sect, once the sect members knew that the sect leader was killed, not only would the sect immediately fall apart, but the Shenhou Mansion and other Jianghu forces might also attack the Black Lotus Sect, so they covered up the truth of the matter, It was originally an accident against the sect leader, and in the end, it was announced that it was Elder Xuanyang who had apostasy. He sighed and said, "This matter is tightly sealed and has been covered up, I don't know if I'm right?" ”
