The Taoist Master looked at Taoist Niu Gui and left the futon, and said at the same time.
"Although the death of Venerable Gai Ling was due to this son, if the other party did not listen to the instigation of the person behind it, how could he be killed?"
"The other one, our sect has explicitly forbidden to take action against this son. Venerable Gai Ling openly disobeys him, which is a capital crime."
"What?" Taoist Niu Gui looked at the Taoist Master in disbelief. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest not only refused to avenge the death of Venerable Gai Ling, but also bluntly said that Venerable Gai Ling brought it upon himself.
Venerable Gai Ling was his disciple, and now he died tragically, but the Taoist master slandered him. As a master, he naturally couldn't bear it.
Many Zhou Tian elders sitting cross-legged on both sides were also surprised. They did not expect the Taoist master to be so disrespectful to Taoist Niu Gui.
"Taoist, are you trying to favor that kid?" Taoist Niugui looked at the Taoist fiercely, without even the word 'sir'.
"This is not partiality, but there is no evidence. If you, Taoist Niu Gui, present evidence that this son killed Venerable Gai Ling, our sect will immediately come forward for you and avenge the death of Venerable Gai Ling." The Taoist Master said with a blank face.
Expression said.
"If you can't produce evidence, then it's better not to raise the matter again."
Taoist Niu Gui was extremely angry. Of course he couldn't produce any evidence, and he knew why the Taoist master was so tough. It was not to favor Luo Chen, but because of Luo Chen's book of demons and his understanding of the demonic path.
"It seems that you all have the same intention!" Taoist Niu Gui looked at the many Zhou Tian elders on both sides.
Many Zhou Tian elders, like the Taoist Master, also had expressionless faces, and their meaning was very clear. The death of Venerable Gai Ling was his death, and it would not affect their access to the treasures and secrets on Luo Chen's body.
"Okay, okay!" Taoist Niu Gui laughed angrily, knowing that he could no longer take action because the Taoist master and many Zhou Tian elders would not allow him to do so.
Besides, let alone killing Luo Chen, even leaving the Central Palace is a luxury for him.
"Taoist Niu Gui, why are you in a hurry? When we get the treasures and secrets from this child, you will have no problem doing whatever you want." Seeing Taoist Niu Gui give up, the Taoist Master softened his tone a lot.
A sad smile flashed across Taoist Niu Gui's face, he bowed his hands to the Taoist master, then returned to the futon and said no more.
The Taoist Master couldn't see that although Taoist Niu Gui had temporarily given up taking action, the anger in his heart had not been eliminated at all.
If given the chance, he would definitely kill Luo Chen without hesitation.
"Now I'll trouble you all to break the seal!" The Taoist Master bowed his hands to the many Zhou Tian elders on both sides, and then disappeared from his position. There were still a group of venerable elders outside, and the disciples were waiting to see him.
…
Outside the central hall, a group of venerable elders and disciples were blocked by two venerable elders guarding the entrance to the hall.
"Everyone, the Taoist Master and many Zhou Tian elders are discussing matters, and there is no way to see you now." said the venerable elder who had left and returned.
"What?" All the elders and disciples didn't believe it, they only thought it was the excuse of the elder.
"Venerable Gai Ling was killed, the law enforcement disciples died tragically, countless chief disciples, and the core disciples' cultivation levels were sealed. With such a big thing happening, do the Taoist masters and Zhou Tian elders still have thoughts to discuss matters?" A senior elder was dissatisfied.
road.
"Yes, I have to see the Taoist Master and many Zhou Tian elders today." Other elders and disciples also started shouting.
The two venerable elders who were guarding the palace gate looked embarrassed. The Taoist master did not want to see the elders and disciples who had arrived. What could they do?
But if a group of elders and disciples force their way in, they will definitely be unable to stop them. When the Taoist master takes the blame, they will still be the unlucky ones.
Just when the two of them were so worried, a figure suddenly rushed out from the central palace, it was the Taoist Master.
"Master Taoist!" When the two saw the Taoist Master appearing, they immediately bowed and saluted.
"Meet the Taoist Lord!"
A group of elders and disciples thought that the Taoist master did not want to see them, but they did not expect that the Taoist master suddenly appeared.
"Yes!" The Taoist Master nodded slightly, motioned for the elders and disciples to stand up, and then said, "I understand the meaning of everyone coming here, but there is no solution to this matter."
A group of elders and disciples looked at the Taoist Master, including the two venerable elders guarding the temple gate, and did not understand the meaning of the Taoist Master's words.
The matter is very clear. Luo Chen is the murderer and the culprit who single-handedly caused the core disciple and the chief disciple's cultivation to be sealed. He directly goes out to capture and question the perpetrators. Why is there no solution?
"The deaths of Venerable Gai Ling and the law enforcement disciples, firstly, no one saw with their own eyes that they were killed by each other, and secondly, there is no evidence to prove that it is impossible to just rely on imagination and speculation."
"As for what Wang Tianxia and others did, our sect has issued a decree before, prohibiting provocation. They openly violated it. As a result, they only had their cultivation level sealed and were not directly killed. They are lucky."
"This sect has just given an order. After the seal is broken, both the core disciples and the chief disciples must go to the Law Enforcement Hall to accept their crimes. Wang Tianxia, Wang Yuyu, and Wang Xingkong will go to Gufeng to face the wall and think about it for ten years."
After what the Taoist master said, the elders and disciples had nothing but surprise and fear in their eyes.
Not only did Luo Chen have nothing to do, the core disciple and the chief disciple whose cultivation was sealed were also punished. Wang Tianxia, Wang Yuzhou, and Wang Xingkong were the strongest crowned kings, but they had to go to the extremely dangerous Gufeng to face the wall and reflect on their mistakes.
And it lasted for ten years.
"Everyone, please disperse!" The Taoist master glanced at the elders and disciples, and before anyone could speak, he disappeared from the spot.
After staring blankly at the disappearing Taoist master, a group of elders and disciples realized that they thought too well and thought that they could force the Taoist master to deal with Luo Chen. This was simply a delusion.
"What on earth are the Taoist Master and many Zhou Tian elders thinking? This man is obviously the murderer who killed Venerable Gai Ling and the law enforcement disciples. Why didn't they take action?" This doubt appeared in the minds of many Venerable elders.
Because they can all figure it out for such a simple reason. Taoist Master and many Zhoutian elders are much smarter than them, so how could they not figure it out?
Based on this calculation, it was not that the Taoist master and many Zhou Tian elders did not believe that Luo Chen was the murderer, or that there was no evidence, but that they did not want to take action against Luo Chen at all, and did not want to quarrel with each other. They seemed to have something to ask for.
"Everyone, it seems that we have to be careful in the future!" said a venerable elder.
The elders and disciples around him all nodded. No one took Luo Chen seriously at first, but now they no longer dare to do so.
The death of Venerable Gai Ling serves as a warning to others, and Luo Chen has not been punished in any way. If they take action against him, they will definitely end up with a similar fate.
Soon, a group of elders and disciples disappeared from the central hall and entered their respective training palaces, never to come out again.
