Chapter 286: The Temple of Punishment
The Punishment Palace, the highest hall in the Southern Wilderness Outer Sect, is magnificent, and it is a place where there are major events in the sect that need to hold a plenary meeting and adjudicate major events.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, but the sect master asked everyone to come early in the morning, there must be something big!"
"Even the lowest-level miscellaneous disciples have to come, this is something that has never happened before. β
"Look, the elders are here!"
The main hall of the torture hall is extremely wide, and even if tens of thousands of people enter, it will not seem crowded.
Early this morning, the people in the sect all went to the torture hall one after another.
"Elder Rong, did you say that the sect master called us to the torture hall to make a move on us?"
Rong Wei also came, with dozens of people behind him, and Long Tengfei and Zhao Donglai followed closely behind him, Zhao Donglai asked.
"Don't say anything, don't guess, you'll know then. Rong Wei's expression was a little cold, and he replied. In his heart, he knew that Zhu Huo was going to make a move, because he met with Yang Ningfeng last night, and he had already learned about it, just to avoid leaking the news, he didn't even say Long Tengfei and Zhao Donglai, the two people he absolutely trusted, which was also what Yang Ningfeng meant.
With Yang Ningfeng here, Rong Wei is of course calm.
Seeing Rong Wei enter the hall, many people saluted and greeted each other, showing that Rong Wei did have a lot of prestige and popularity in this foreign sect. Of course, there are also some people who just look at him coldly and bring people in, with a sneer on their faces, these people are very likely to know what is going to happen today, and they are Zhu Huo's people.
Rong Wei is now the Great Elder of the Southern Wilderness Outer Sect, so he directly sits in the position of the Great Elder, second only to the Sect Master, and people loyal to Rong Wei such as Long Tengfei and Zhao Donglai choose to stand behind Rong Wei.
The elders arrived one after another, and in this hall, in addition to the sect master, only the elders were qualified to sit.
When each elder sat down, there were people standing behind him, indicating that these people were the disciples of the sitting elders.
There were more and more people, and soon there were nearly a thousand people in the temple.
However, there were nearly a thousand people, but the hall was extremely quiet, and no one made a sound, not even the elders.
The Temple of Punishment represents supremacy, and holding such a big meeting as this time, as long as you are not an idiot, you know that something big must happen, and in this hall, every word you say may cause fire.
Quiet, even more solemn, the atmosphere, heavy to the extreme, even the sound of breathing, at this time in this hall, seems to be extremely conspicuous, abrupt, discordant.
"Brush!"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on the door of the palace, only to see Zhu Huo walking in with a majestic face, behind him, followed by Zuo Huanping and Yang Ningfeng.
"Who is this man?"
Zhu Huo and Zuo Huanping are no strangers to everyone, but Yang Ningfeng, who is incarnated as "Mu Zhiyi", is not known by few people in the hall, so as soon as he appeared, he suddenly became the focus of the whole hall, although no one made a sound, but most of the people were secretly asking in their hearts.
Yang Ningfeng's face was calm, and he followed behind Zhu Huo without squinting, walking side by side with Zuo Huanping. The three of them slowly entered the hall and went straight to the position of the sect master, and when Zhu Huo sat down, Zuo Huanping and Yang Ningfeng were waiting by his side.
"It's all here, right?"
As soon as Zhu Huo sat down, he swept his eyes and saw that everyone was looking at him, but no one spoke, and many people looked at him, and the reverence and worship in his eyes made him very satisfied. Every time he sits on the throne of this sect master, he has the feeling that the world is in my hands.
Zhu Huo's voice was steady, but powerful, and everyone could hear it.
If no one answers, it is all there by default.
"It's good that it's all here, close the temple door!" Zhu Huo continued.
Immediately, two young disciples closed the door of the hall.
Looking at the slowly closing temple door, many people's hearts have been sinking, and they have a bad premonition, as if the door of this temple is closed, it is also closed to their own life.
When the door of the palace was closed, Zhu Huo's gaze swept towards Rong Wei vaguely, and when he saw Rong Wei's calm face, he sneered in his heart: "Old immortal, always against me, today, it is your death date!"
Bang!
The door of the hall was finally completely closed, and the soft sound of the door closing made many people's hearts tremble.
The door of the hall was closed, but there was silence in the hall, which made the atmosphere even more heavy and solemn, and there were even a few more killings invisibly, as if there was a bright sword hanging on everyone's head all of a sudden.
"Elder Rong, do you know the purpose of asking everyone to come today?" Zhu Huo didn't say some regular faΓ§ade words like he had said in the previous meeting, but suddenly looked at Rong Wei and asked. It seems that I don't want Lang to waste time and do things like thunder, so I go straight to the point!
"Please make it clear to the sect master!" Rong Wei bowed, arched his hand at Zhu Yan, and said calmly.
"Humph!"
As soon as Rong Wei's words fell, Zhu Yan suddenly snorted coldly.
This cold snort was actually not big, but it exploded in everyone's hearts, and in an instant, everyone knew that today's conference was coming for Rong Wei.
"It seems that today is the time for the Sect Master and the Great Elder to officially break up!"
Knowing the purpose of today's meeting, many people's hearts are even more uncalm, because at this time, it is time for them to decide to stand.
For Zhu Huo's cold snort, Rong Wei just looked at Zhu Huo with a smile on his face.
Zhu Huo also looked at Rong Wei, and the two of them collided with each other, which made people feel a sword and sword shadow.
"Elder Rong, by now, shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?" Zhu Huo said suddenly.
"I don't know what the sect wants me to explain? Rong Wei is dull, please make it clear to the sect master!" Rong Wei's voice was as calm as ever, as if no matter what happened, even if the sky thundered, it would be difficult for him to regret his mind and make him lose his bearings.
"Stupid?"
Zhu Huo sneered: "Are you pretending to be confused, right?" Rong Wei, Elder Rong, Great Elder, don't pretend, I have already found out everything about you now." During this time, Tonghuamen repeatedly provoked and killed several disciples, all of this is just for you to deal with me, so that the inner sect thinks that my sect master is not capable enough and secretly colludes with Tonghuamen, putting pressure on me, and it is incomparably waiting for the inner sect to withdraw my position as the sect master, so that you can become the sect master yourself. β
"What?"
"How could such a thing happen?"
"I didn't expect that the Great Elder, who is usually a good person, would be such a person?"
"Unlikely, isn't it? Elder Rong is not such a person, is the sect master mistaken?"
"Elder Rong turned out to be such a person, then he is not worthy of being a great elder!"
"Colluding with Tonghuamen and harming the lives of my sect's disciples is a capital crime, and he will be to blame even if he dies!"
"Elder Rong is not such a person at all, this is the sin of wanting to add, why is there no word?"
"You fart, will Elder Rong be such a person? If you dare to say that Elder Rong is not, I will kill you. β
"Hey, I'm afraid you won't succeed? It seems that you and Rong Wei are in the same group, and the senior brother who died before in the sect may have been killed by you. β
"You're spewing blood, believe it or not I really killed you?"
"Come on, you've killed so many brothers before, and you're afraid that you won't be able to kill me more?"
"Sure enough, it's difficult! It's hard to tell which is right and which is wrong, but the sect master has made such accusations against Elder Rong, and the two of them can't coexist today!"
Zhu Huo's words exploded in the hall like a bombshell, and suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall, whispering, some were really shocked, some were fueled by Zhu Huo's people, and some were immediately questioned by Elder Rong's people.
In the hall, the silence just now suddenly seemed to turn into a noisy bazaar, and even some people were about to start in the quarrel because of their different positions and different sides!
"Shut up!"
In the hall, it was extremely noisy, and Zhu Huo suddenly shouted angrily.
"Hmph, you'll look good later. β
"Who's afraid of whom?"
Zhu Huo's angry shout, the voice, gradually faded, and finally, the silence was restored again.
"Do you have anything to say? if not, I, as the sect master, will have to judge you according to the rules of the sect!"
When the hall was quiet, Zhu Huo looked at Elder Rong, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and then asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know how the sect master will judge me?" Rong Wei didn't have the slightest intention of explaining, but asked with a smile.
It's just that his indifference made some people who originally didn't believe Zhu Huo's words confused, and they had questions, could it be that the Great Elder really colluded with Tonghuamen, and now he knows that the sect master must have conclusive evidence, so he doesn't even want to defend himself?
"You are the Great Elder, and you have been an elder in the sect for many years, how can you not know that colluding with foreign enemies and mutilating the disciples in the sect is a capital crime!" Zhu Huo said in a deep voice. It's just that for no reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, because Rong Wei was so calm, so calm that he actually felt a little scary.
"Well, colluding with foreign enemies and mutilating the clansmen is a capital crime...... It's really worthy of being the sect master, I remember it so clearly. Rong Wei chuckled.
"Rong Wei, since you admit your guilt, why don't you hurry up and kneel down and accept the ruling of the sect?" an elder sitting opposite Rong Wei suddenly shouted.
He is the second elder Song Ruoke, Zhu Huo's absolute loyalist, and in the sect, he is also one of the people who want Rong Wei to die the most, because as soon as Rong Wei dies or makes a mistake and is pulled down from the position of the Great Elder, he is the most likely to take over the position of the Great Elder.
Therefore, he was the most impatient, and usually, he actively cooperated with Zhu Huo to attack Rong Wei.
"Second Elder, what are you anxious about, I'm dead, of course the position of this Great Elder is yours, but if you want me to die, then you have to convince me. Rong Wei smiled.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Song Ruoke said with a sneer. They had already discussed it in advance, and today, Rong Wei was in a catastrophe, so when he spoke, his tone was full of cynicism and ridicule, looking at Rong Wei, as if he had seen Rong Wei being executed.
"I'm still the Great Elder, if I have anything to say, it's not your turn to ask questions, right? Rong Wei sneered. "You ......" Song Ruoke was so angry that he couldn't speak. But there is no way, Rong Wei is telling the truth, now, he is still a great elder.
Rong Tong glanced at Song Ruoke sneeringly, and then looked at Zhu Huo, but it was Yang Ningfeng, who was suddenly standing aside, and his voice sank suddenly: "Sect Master, this person is not from my sect, you say that I collude with outsiders, so what do you mean by bringing an outsider into the torture hall?"
