It is still a dark place where the sun never shines all year round.
Early in the morning, all the disciples of Xiantian Yiqi Sect who received the notice from the sect rushed here.
This includes all inner and outer disciples.
Xiantian Yiqi Sect has never issued such a solemn summons.
You know, with this edict, Xiantian Yiqi Sect has withdrawn all the sect's hands.
The two outer cities and ten counties and towns almost broke away from the sect's control at the same time.
Such an order would never be issued unless there was a particularly serious matter.
No disciple dares to take the meaning lightly.
Therefore, before nine o'clock in the morning, almost all the inner and outer disciples had arrived.
Nearly 50,000 people gathered at Jiuyou Peak. This was something that had never happened in the Xiantian Yiqi Sect for thousands of years.
The reason for gathering here this time has long been spread, and everyone is secretly looking forward to it.
Three thousand six hundred Dharma protectors with helmets and armors travel between the mountains to maintain order.
"Boom——!"
"Boom——!"
"Boom——!"
After the three bells rang, no more sound came from Jiuyou Peak.
Soon, hundreds of people were taken from the cells in the mountain to the execution platform on the mountain.
All of them had pale faces, their faces were fighting, and their expressions were extremely panicked.
The hands and feet of these offending disciples were sealed with forbidden shackles, so they could only move slowly.
Next to these people, followed a disciple from the Catching Tower who was dressed in black and had a cold face.
There are six green-gold stone platforms scattered on top of the execution platform, more than six feet above the ground.
Each stone platform has three concave notches.
There are gilt columns on both sides inserted high into the stone platform, with various runes engraved on the columns.
The columns are two feet long and about nine feet apart from each other.
Looking upward, there are beams connecting the tops of the two columns.
The beam is strip-shaped, pure gold, covered with runes, and a scale stands out in the middle of the beam.
The balance is small and has a simple structure. There are two trays, one black and one white, arranged on the left and right, with a golden round eye in the middle.
There is a sword under the beam, nine feet long, with the blade pointing downwards, and a white light appears at the edge.
The two ends were pierced with iron chains, and the knife hung like that.
On the front of the stone platform, three blood-red seal characters are engraved.
'guillotine'
Behind the six guillotines, there is a long black and white table.
The case is five feet high and nine feet long, with an incense burner in the middle.
There are three arrow slots on each side of the incense burner, and six Zhupi Ling arrows are tightly inserted into the slots.
In addition, at the four corners of the execution platform, there is a big leather drum about one foot in size erected, with strong men standing in front and behind each big drum holding a hammer.
Although Jiuyou Peak is very large, it is impossible for all the tens of thousands of disciples to have good positions.
Therefore, the location ranges from far to near, high and low, so naturally many people cannot see the full view of the execution platform.
The sect has also taken this into consideration.
When those hundreds of people were escorted to the execution platform, a curtain of light suddenly appeared in the sky.
Countless mirrors reflect each other, showing the scene on the stage in the air.
Through the control of the magic circle, the characters in the mirror image appear larger and more delicate.
Even the twisted muscles beating on those people's faces can be seen clearly.
At this moment, eight dark golden streams of light flew up to Jiuyou Peak from all over the Xiantian Yiqi Sect.
The eight true monarchs of Tianya, Chongxiao, Xinghe, Lieyan, Jiuren, Furong, Feilei and Yuegui all appeared together.
"Ss—!"
A huge sound of inhalation came from Jiuyou Peak.
Most of the disciples in the sect may never have seen the True Lord Yuanshen in their entire lives.
At this moment, the true kings of the sect all appeared on Jiuyou Peak, which further illustrates the importance of today's matter.
Master Mingxiao, wearing a purple Bagua Taoist robe, solemnly came to the execution platform.
First, he looked at the disciples who were densely gathered around Jiuyou Peak.
Then he took a deep breath, activated his magic power, and exhaled loudly.
"Today! It is a day of great significance for our sect.
it's here......"
Headmaster Mingxiao pointed at his feet, and his deep voice echoed between heaven and earth.
“The sect will publicly execute the 137 disciples who violated the sect’s precepts!
This is the first time in the past thousand years, and I hope it will be the last time."
Headmaster Mingxiao's mood was a little complicated. He did not expect that the disciples of the sect would do so many heartbreaking things.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Zhang Ke insisted on severely punishing those who had done something wrong.
If I could have known about the behavior of these disciples earlier, maybe I would have agreed.
But now that the verdict has been made, it cannot be changed. We can only strictly control the disciples in the future.
"Next, the Catching Tower, the Council of Elders, and the Council of Discipline will jointly announce the crimes of the disciples who have violated the commandments.
I hope that when you have evil thoughts in your hearts in the future, you can think of this moment."
After Master Mingxiao finished speaking, he turned around and stood in front of the eight true monarchs.
"Boom——!"
The big drums standing at the four corners were struck suddenly, making a muffled sound of thunder.
In an instant, Jiuyou Peak became silent, and everyone looked at the mirror in the sky.
Master Biluo from Catching Wind Tower, Master Wanlin from the Presbyterian Academy, and Master Songbai from the Discipline Academy each held a long scroll in their hands.
"By the order of the sect leader:
Today, one hundred and thirty-seven people including Zang Guangchen, a disciple of the sect, have violated the sect's precepts by killing fellow disciples, causing many deaths, colluding internally and externally, humiliating women, and betraying the sect's information.
In order to clear up the source, after a public trial by the three courts, it was decided to execute Zang Guangchen and other 137 people."
Then the three people threw the long scroll in their hands, and the long scroll hung vertically in the air like a waterfall.
The black characters on a red background shimmered with light, making all the crimes of those one hundred and thirty-seven disciples public.
At the same time, they each used their magic power to narrate the crimes of the offending disciple one by one.
The mighty sound echoed near Jiuyou Peak.
‘Zang Guangchen, a disciple of Wanshou Mountain, lived from the ninth day of the third month of the Dingsi year to the third day of the eleventh month of the Xinyou year.
In the past five years, seven inner disciples including Yue Anqi and Xie Chenshan were massacred, and eleven outer disciples including Lou Kezheng were massacred.
He also leaked the sect’s information to outsiders and obtained a total of 37,600 gold talismans.’
"Zha Shirong, a disciple of Wanshou Mountain, lived from the 11th day of the sixth lunar month of the Yiwei year to the 30th day of the ninth lunar month of the Xinchou year.
In seven years, they robbed 67 women and tortured and killed 39 innocent people.’
'You Yifan, a disciple of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Yu...'
"Fu Yuewen, a disciple of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Yu..."
"..."
Countless sect disciples' hearts were trembling as they looked at the series of shocking numbers on the long scroll.
"Damn it! Damn it! These damn beasts have committed so many evil deeds."
"Look! I didn't expect so many people to commit such heinous crimes. They really deserve to die."
"Ying Mingshi, a normally sanctimonious guy, actually feeds people to war beasts. He really should be cut into pieces."
"Yes! It's too scary. If these people hadn't been caught out by the sect, we don't know how many people would have been harmed."
"..."
Zhang Ke stood at the front of the Bijia Peak line, with his senior brother Guanyu next to him.
Looking at the many evil deeds on the long scroll, Zhang Ke felt a fire in his heart burning straight to the top of his head.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"It's fair to say that True Lord Furong understands the truth and doesn't protect these scum."
Guanyu shook his head and sighed:
"Junior brother has been in seclusion for the past few days. In fact, he has been screened by Zhenjun Furong.
There are more people protected by Zhenjun Furong, including Zhenren Qingju."
Zhang Ke was slightly startled: "After screening, there are still so many people?"
Guanyu sneered:
"If the crimes committed by these people were not so shocking and angered many True Lords, she might even want to protect them."
At this moment, for the first time, Zhang Ke felt the intention to kill Zhenjun Furong.
On top of the execution platform, six 'guillotines' were lined up.
A group of disciples from the Wind Catching Platform held bamboo forks and held the heads of all the offending disciples before kneeling down in front of the guillotine.
Here, they can most clearly see the scene of the tortured person being beheaded.
The number of these offending disciples was far more than 137, and they were accompanied by more than 200 people.
Most of these people are disciples of Wanshou Mountain, but some are from other factions.
With the chanting of real people from the three courtyards.
Six disciples whose crimes were reported were arrested and picked out by Fengtai disciples from in front of the guillotine.
He was lifted up with a bamboo fork and pressed on his back to the gap in the guillotine.
"Crash-"
"Crack!"
The chains and locks on the guillotine entangled themselves, trapping the necks and bodies of the six criminal disciples, making them unable to move left and right.
Fu Yuewen was the first to be executed. At this moment, he had no fear.
But he was a little strange as to why he was the first.
When reciting, Zang Guangchen's name was at the top of the list. He could not figure out this doubt until his death.
His body was tied up by the hooves of four horses, but he was lying on his back in the gap of the knife with his body hunched over.
With both eyes, you can see the shining knife hanging from the beam above.
"Click! Click!"
The same sound of locks came from the left and right. Fu Yuewen looked out of the corner of his eyes and saw that it was two fellow students.
but......
These two people were not guilty enough to die, so how could they be tied up next to them?
At this time, I suddenly heard different words in my ears.
"Shi Changzhong, a disciple of Wanshou Mountain, has sold a total of twenty-one disciples in the Taoist academy since the ninth day of the fifth month of the Ding Si year.
The profit was nine hundred and seventy-two gold talismans.
After the decision of the three courts, the crime was not punishable by death, and he was sentenced to confiscation of property, ten years of hard labor, and beheading once."
Zhan Jingyuan, a disciple of Wanshou Mountain, in..."
Here, both the onlookers and the offending disciples heard an unprecedented word.
'Behead with me——!'
A trace of doubt arose in the hearts of many disciples, what does 'accompanying the cut' mean?
Perhaps they guessed what everyone was thinking, Bi Luo and others opened their mouths to explain.
"When there was a dispute among the Catching Tower, the Presbyterian Court, and the Discipline Court over the death penalty crimes committed by some disciples.
You can apply for ‘accompanying beheading’ and let fate decide life or death.”
Guanyu was a little confused when he heard this, and turned to Zhang Ke and asked:
