Linjiang Sect has one hundred thousand disciples, and something bad happens every year.
The existence of the Law Enforcement Hall is to intimidate Xiao Xiao and maintain the sect's laws to prevent the Immortal Sect from becoming an evil sect.
Arrange the cruel punishments suffered by those who commit the most heinous crimes on the road they must pass...
It’s hard to tell, but it’s not to warn disciples who have made small mistakes!
Entering the inner hall, Elder Shentu summoned an inner deacon who was responsible for recording the cause, process, and results of the incident.
Then he snorted coldly: "Tell me, why are you fighting privately?"
……
Shen Mo and four other people made statements one after another.
Tian Kang did not hide anything, but after stating the matter, he tried his best to conceal their motives.
He only said that he gave Shen Mo a task out of kindness, but was ridiculed by Shen Mo.
He couldn't help but take the lead in taking action.
Then he focused on how Shen Mo bullied them, throwing him and Shi Xiaoqian into the Lancang River, and forcing them to touch the river clams.
Guo Zhao still had the same attitude as before, objectively stating the facts.
Not deliberately favoring any party.
Something that surprised Shen Mo was Shi Xiaoqian.
She actually admitted that she and Tian Kang came to Shen Mo with provocation.
However, the initial motive of the two of them was that Shen Mo was in the limelight recently and wanted to test his abilities.
Elder Shentu, he has been in the Law Enforcement Hall for so many years.
Having handled similar matters thousands of times, I have long developed a pair of vicious eyes and a clear mind.
After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately figured out the twists and turns.
His expression was as cold as ice as he made the decision.
"Inner disciple Tian Kang has evil intentions and provokes us again. I will punish the sect with twenty merit points and five hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
"Inner disciple Shi Xiaoqian has evil intentions and helps the tyrants to do evil. As a punishment, the merit point is worth ten points and two hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
"Inner disciple Guo Zhao saw his fellow disciples fighting each other, but he had no intention of stopping it, nor did he notify the Law Enforcement Hall. The penalty merit point is worth five points, and a hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
"Inner disciple Shen Mo, when faced with provocation, did not notify the Law Enforcement Hall, but used force on his own and injured his fellow disciples. He punished the sect with twenty merit points and five hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
"If the spiritual stones are not enough, we can use corresponding magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc. as deductions!"
"Do you have any objections?"
It has to be said that Elder Shentu’s punishment was quite harsh!
Even Guo Zhao, who was standing aside watching the show, was fined a lot of merit points and spiritual stones by him.
However, he also explained the reason. Guo Zhao wanted to complain, but he couldn't.
Shen Mo naturally had no objection.
Anyway, he was not the one who suffered in the previous fight.
Tian Kang was obviously a little unconvinced, but after being swept away by Elder Shentu's stern gaze, he lowered his head angrily.
"Now that a large-scale invasion by demons is imminent, you don't want to kill demons and make meritorious deeds, but instead use your skills to provoke private fights!"
"Can it be worthy of the sect's cultivation? Can it be worthy of the hundreds of millions of people in Chiyan Country?"
"If there is a next time, I will punish you severely!"
Elder Shentu had a cold face and scolded him.
Shen Mo and others naturally did not dare to refute, so they were reprimanded.
There were thousands of inner sect deacons, and their identity tokens were taken away, and the corresponding merit points were deducted.
Afterwards, everyone handed over the spirit stones and left the Law Enforcement Hall.
Elder Shentu let out a long sigh, and his tone was a little helpless, but also a little cruel: "Under such a situation, some people are still living in a coward!"
"But don't get caught by me, otherwise..."
Outside the Law Enforcement Hall.
Both the Tian Clan and the Shi Clan sent people to wait outside the door.
It seemed that he wanted to send a message to the clan at any time. If Tian Kang and Shi Xiaoqian were severely punished, they would immediately use their connections within the clan to rescue them.
When Tian Kang saw his clansmen, he glared at Shen Mo proudly and walked towards his clansmen.
Shi Xiaoqian did not continue to provoke Shen Mo. When she passed by him, she softly said "Sorry".
As for Guo Zhao, he actually alerted his brother and came to pick him up personally.
From the Tian and Shi families, no one from the Linghai Realm came forward.
In front of Guo Xun, they all seemed a little flattering.
Even Tian Kang and Shi Xiaoqian, who had just come out of the Law Enforcement Hall, went over to meet him.
But judging from Guo Xun's attitude, he doesn't seem to have a good impression of them.
As one of the nine core disciples of Linjiang Sect, Guo Xun is always busy with work, so this is the first time for Shen Mo to meet him.
Although they are brothers, they look very different.
In addition to his somewhat imaginary appearance, Guo Xun has a thin body, sharp eyebrows, and a demeanor that far exceeds that of his brother Guo Zhao.
Guo Zhao seemed a little embarrassed in front of him, with a bit of a smile on his face.
Seeing that he was okay, Guo Xun showed a warm smile on his face. He did not rely on his own strength and level to reprimand his brother.
On the contrary, it has a bit of a sense of brotherly love!
After saying a few words to Guo Zhao, Guo Xun walked towards Shen Mo and took the lead in bowing and saying: "Junior Brother Shen, my brother has a straightforward nature and will inevitably be taken advantage of. Don't blame him."
His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and his words are like a spring breeze!
"Don't dare!"
Shen Mo returned the gift and replied calmly.
Speaking of "using", he also "used" Guo Zhao's temperament to make suggestions for him, and received a lot of benefits.
However, in his opinion, this "use" was completely different from the "use" of Tian and Shi.
He is selling his brainpower and planning, and his relationship with Guo Zhao is a transaction, or a "mutual use" relationship.
There was no deliberate deception or concealment.
Tian Kang and Shi Xiaoqian, on the other hand, concealed their true intentions.
Taking advantage of Guo Zhao's acquaintance with Shen Mo to get close to Shen Mo and deliberately provoking and testing him are much worse than him.
However, there is no close relationship between him and Guo Zhao.
Over the past year, Chen Mengze became more and more indifferent to Guo Zhao, and the number of times Guo Zhao came to him for advice became less and less.
We no longer invite him to go out for training, attend banquets, etc.
Now after this incident, the relationship that was not close at first will obviously become more and more distant.
After all, the two of them are not the same person!
Regardless of their background, vision, or life experience, they are not quite matched.
Unlike Zhao Lingyin, she was actually born as an orphan and came from the secular world. In addition to having a master who loves her very much.
We have many common topics with Shen Mo.
It is Lu Ming. Although he is also from the Lu Clan, he has already declined in recent years.
He was promoted to the inner sect at the same time as him, and he was far more comparable to Guo Zhao.
Guo Xun smiled and continued: "Junior Brother Shen, with his talent and strength, is unlikely to be able to compete for the position of core disciple in the future."
"At that time, you and I are both disciples of Xingchen Peak, so we can get closer!"
"One more helping hand..."
"On the road of cultivating immortality, you can also walk more steadily!"
Shen Mo's heart moved.
From what Guo Xun said, it seems that as a core disciple, he is under a lot of pressure!
He came over to chat with me.
He actually had the intention of making friends in advance so that we can work together in the future.
Then I thought about it, even people like Zhou Shili have to compete with the other two peaks for outstanding disciples, resources for cultivating immortals, etc.
The competition among the nine core members including Guo Xun must be extremely fierce.
