"Hmph, Great Elder, Elders, I have something to say as well. ”

Taichong Zhenren couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with Duan Chen's strength, he doesn't need to kill Shi Jun and Zuo Shanming at all to get out safely, but Elder Yiben thinks that Duan Chen must have the intention of harming his fellow sects, so he will kill Shi Jun and Zuo Shanming." ”

Tai Chong's words also received the support and response of many Jindan elders.

For a while, in the entire hall, there were voices opposing the punishment of Duan Chen, as well as voices in favor of severe punishment, and even directly killing Duan Chen to set an example, and the two sides quarreled.

"Silence!"

At this moment, the master of the Punishment Hall, who was sitting at the top of the main hall, suddenly spoke in a deep voice, and the entire hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at the head of the main hall.

Including Duan Chen and Tai Chong and Tai Miao Zhenren.

I only heard the hall master of the Punishment Hall say lightly: "If according to the rules of our Beiyuan Immortal Palace's outer palace, Duan Chen must fight with his life to kill the disciples of Jindan, but after all, there is a reason for this matter, so the hall master thinks that Duan Chen's death crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and he must be severely punished to set an example, I don't know what you think?"

Although he said this, his eyes were directly looking at the Great Elder on the side, obviously asking the Great Elder's opinion more importantly.

"Hall Master Zhao, it's a bit too much for you to execute Duan Chen like this. ”

Without waiting for the Great Elder to speak, a sharp and majestic voice suddenly appeared in the main hall, and then the figure of Chen Xuanguang, the hall master of the Xuanguang Palace, appeared in the main hall out of thin air.

"Hall Master Chen!"

The pupils in the eyes of the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall who were sitting at the top of the main hall shrank, and the Jindan elders sitting in the Hall of Elders were also taken aback.

No one thought that Chen Xuanguang, the hall master of the Xuanguang Palace, would appear here, and it seemed that he still wanted to protect Duan Chen, even Duan Chen was surprised, and he didn't know which one he was singing.

"I don't know what Hall Master Chen has?" At this moment, the Great Elder sitting at the head of the main hall suddenly asked.

Chen Xuanguang first glanced at Duan Chen with deep meaning, and then spoke: "The master of this hall thinks that Duan Chen is not only innocent this time, but also meritorious. ”

"That Shi Jun and Zuo Shanming are in front of Duan Chen, that is to violate the palace rules, since they have violated the palace rules, all my Beiyuan Immortal Palace monks, naturally everyone will be punished, as for the so-called judgment by the Hall of Elders and the Hall of Punishment, it is just a process and form, and it is not important. ”

"If we punish Duan Chen for this matter, then if something like this happens in the future, will all the victims be punished for this? If this precedent is set, I am afraid that it will make tens of thousands of disciples in our outer palace feel cold. ”

Hearing Chen Xuanguang's words, the Lord of the Punishment Hall couldn't help frowning, while the Great Elder fell into deep thought.

As for the other Jindan elders present, they looked at the three Yuanying Cultivators in the audience without saying a word.

Obviously, after Chen Xuanguang intervened in this matter, they could no longer express their stance easily, so as not to accidentally offend any of them.

After a while, I only heard the Great Elder speak: "Hall Master Chen's words are reasonable, but what Hall Master Zhao said is also good, I don't think it's better to detain Duan Chen in the Punishment Hall first, take strict care, and wait for the old man to come up with a way to have the best of both worlds, and then decide how about it?"

"It's for the best. When Chen Xuanguang heard this, he immediately nodded with a smile without thinking.

As for the Hall Master of the Punishment Palace, he glanced at Chen Xuanguang and the Great Elder with some suspicion, wondering if they had secretly colluded a long time ago.

But after he pondered for a moment, he still nodded and said, "Since the Great Elder wants to think carefully, then this matter will be postponed." ”

After a slight pause, he then said in a low voice: "Come on, escort Duan Chen directly to the Punishment Hall and strictly guard it, and no one is allowed to visit." ”

"Yes. In the main hall, two elders of the Punishment Hall immediately stood up, escorted Duan Chen out of the Hall of Elders, and flew directly in the direction of the Punishment Hall.

......

The Punishment Hall is located not far from the Elders' Palace, and generally only the elders and disciples who have committed crimes will be escorted into the Punishment Hall to be punished, so in the Punishment Palace, there is not only a dungeon dedicated to holding the elders and disciples, but also many heinous torture instruments.

Fortunately, Duan Chen has not been convicted now, so he was only imprisoned in the dungeon in the Punishment Palace, and he was not tortured, and even the mana in his body was not imprisoned.

"Senior, how do you say the above will deal with this matter in the end?" Duan Chen sat cross-legged in the dungeon and asked secretly.

"Don't worry, nothing big will happen, the hall master of the punishment hall obviously wants to sentence you heavily, but even he said that you can be exempted from the death penalty, if you add the hall master of the Xuanguang Palace, Chen Xuanguang, to speak for you, the final sentence will only be lighter. ”

"As for the Great Elder, he didn't say anything in public, in fact, he already explained his attitude, you don't have to worry, this matter should have a result soon. "Seven Demons

Jun said conclusively.

"I hope so. ”

Duan Chen sat cross-legged, still a little uneasy in his heart, and at the same time a little puzzled, why did Chen Xuanguang, the hall master of the Xuanguang Palace, suddenly rush to speak for him, after all, there was no intersection between the two of them in the past, let alone any friendship.

"Hmm, it's Master!" Suddenly, Duan Chen looked down at the storage bracelet he was carrying on his wrist, flipped his palm, took out his outer palace disciple token and glanced at it, and then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

Following his thoughts, he immediately talked to the Desolate Heavenly King who was far away in the Great Wilderness King City through the outer palace disciple token in his hand: "Master, aren't you in retreat to impact the Yuanying realm......?

"Haha, yes, your master and I have now broken through to the Yuanying realm. The voice of the Desolate Heavenly King sounded extremely happy: "How many years, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and now I have finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish. ”

Duan Chen said: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master." ”

"Haha, Master, I also want to congratulate you on breaking through to the Jindan Realm. The Desolate Heavenly King's voice was full of relief: "I have heard about you, don't worry, I have some personal relations with Chen Xuanguang, the hall master of the Xuanguang Palace, and with him coming forward, then there will be no problem in this matter, at most it will be a small punishment for you." ”

"It turned out that Master, you asked Hall Master Chen to come and speak for me. Duan Chen suddenly realized, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With the assurance of the Desolate Heavenly King, he is much more at ease in his heart.

At this time, I only heard the Desolate Heavenly King sigh lightly: "Speaking of which, this time the matter is still Shizun and I have affected you, otherwise that Taichong would never have designed to frame you like this, but you don't have to worry, when the news of my breakthrough through the Yuanying realm spreads, someone will naturally take care of him." ”

"What did Master Zun say about the Red Fire Scattered People?" Duan Chen asked with a stir in his heart.

"That's right, that Taichong Zhenren's backer is nothing more than his father's Chihuo Sanren, as long as Chihuo Sanren speaks, he won't dare to make a mistake. The King of the Desolate Heaven said.

Duan Chen nodded, although he also knew about this incident, there was a ** Taichong real person who was doing a ghost behind his back, but there was no evidence, plus Taichong real person had the support of the father of the Yuanying realm, Chihuo Sanren, and most of the time he could only end up thinking about it.

Next, the Desolate Heaven King asked some more about Duan Chen's cultivation, and after a little pointer, he ended this interrogation.

After all, he had just broken through to the Yuanying realm, and he still needed to continue to retreat and consolidate his cultivation.
