Outside the majestic and domineering Phoenix Palace, special envoy Du Xuan kept pouring out his "grievances."
After a full cup of tea, the final words from the Headmaster Supreme came from the direction of Fengdian: "Well, that boy's behavior is indeed unreasonable. It is indeed possible that you were harmed by a villain and suffered injustice."
"but……"
Special Envoy Du Xuan's heart just fell to the ground, but when the other party blurted out the word "but", it started to rise again——
"However, you secretly snatched the teleportation talisman without permission and crossed the line to exercise the teleportation power of Special Envoy Yu Chonghong. This must be a fact, right?"
Du Xuan knew that he would not be able to rely on this matter. After all, in addition to the chief elders of each sect, there were also two other special envoys from the sacred mountain.
So I could only nod my head honestly: "Yes, yes."
"My subordinate is impulsive..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the stern voice of the Headmaster: "It was an impulse, right? Okay!"
"I will give you one more opportunity to be 'impulsive': in the next battle to defend the territory, you and your troops will be the vanguard."
"Wha, what?"
Du Xuan's old eyes widened, full of surprise.
Of course he understands what the Supreme Headmaster means by the "battle to defend the territory"——
Every once in a while, there will be an invasion by foreign enemies.
At this time, they, the elders and pavilion elders of the Xuansheng Realm, will lead their original team and be sent to participate in the battle in the form of a "battle team" to guard the ancient realm of Whisper.
Generally speaking, those who are sent as the vanguard have the highest mortality rate, and may even be wiped out in the "battle to defend the territory"!
No wonder Special Envoy Du Xuan was so nervous.
"Supreme Master, my subordinate made the mistake in the heat of the moment. Please show your respect..."
"Hmph, isn't it just to your taste to use your impulsive energy as the vanguard of the battle to defend the territory?"
"If you can come back alive after the war, I think your tendency to be 'impulsive' will be completely eliminated."
"But, but I..."
"That's enough. I've made up my mind. Even if you have a thousand clever words, it's useless."
Hearing this, Du Xuan's face turned pale. He couldn't figure out why he was punished so harshly for such a small mistake.
It stands to reason that the Phoenix Clan has never cared much about the first and middle stages of the Whispering Ancient Battlefield. They only care about the second half of the event and the results of the competition to reach the "Nineth Rank".
Therefore, the punishment for occasional envoys who violate taboos will be carried out by the supreme leader.
He usually tries his best to help the perpetrators reduce their charges. Anyway, the Phoenix Clan rarely interferes with this. As the Supreme Leader, by doing this, he can make the special envoy owe him a favor, and secondly...
Maybe you can get some benefits from it secretly, why not?
But why did the punishment given by the Supreme Headmaster become so harsh when it was his turn?
"I have always acted respectfully, and I have never offended the Supreme Leader."
"How can this old guy catch me once and then want to kill me?"
When Du Xuan was filled with anxiety and doubts, the crystal stone ground in front of his feet suddenly emitted a spiritual light——
"Shua~~"
Du Xuan subconsciously went to pick it up, but when his aura dimmed, he realized that what jumped into his palm was a jade slip.
On the front of the jade slip, there is a blood-red word "sin" engraved on it!
Du Xuan's expression changed sharply, and he shouted subconsciously: "A serious crime? This... the mistake made by this subordinate, why is this? Why is it so?"
"Huh? Are you questioning my unfairness in handling things?"
The headmaster's words filled with chilling energy poured into his ears, and Du Xuan regained some of his clarity, and declared unconvinced, "I don't dare."
"Hmph, if you don't dare, get out of here and go back and worship the Jade Slip, which is a serious crime, day and night, and repent of your past. Stop standing here and get in my way!"
"Damn it..."
Du Xuan gritted his teeth tightly, but he was always unhappy in his heart, and he absolutely did not dare to make trouble outside the supreme Phoenix Palace, so he had no choice but to retreat.
After he retreated to the top of the Holy Mountain, he dared to show his anger and angrily walked towards the "Seventh Gate" of the Holy Mountain.
As the master of the seventh court, it is not only the place where he performs his duties, but it is also a small world where he and his many disciples govern themselves.
Not long after, in the main hall of the seventh gate, Du Xuan angrily dismissed all the disciples in the main hall, and then impatiently took out the "Jade Slip of Serious Crimes" and said angrily: "What the fuck.
, I was actually issued a 'serious crime jade slip' for those small mistakes I made?"
"As long as the Supreme Leader does not take back the jade slip, I will always be guilty... Damn it, damn it!"
"You want me to repent, right? Okay, okay, a man can bend and stretch, so I just need to repent!"
Speaking of which, as long as the person who made a mistake sincerely repented of the "Jade Slip of Serious Crime", the soul of the Supreme Master would naturally be able to feel it. Maybe if he was in a good mood, the prisoner's guilt would be reduced.
Just as Du Xuan kowtowed to the "serious crime jade slip" with a dull expression, a subtle sigh suddenly came from the jade slip -
"Oh~~ I know you are dissatisfied!"
This voice comes from the Supreme Headmaster!
It turns out that the jade slips of serious crimes can not only imprint every bit of the criminal's "confession" into the soul of the supreme leader, but can also transmit it in reverse, saying all the words that the supreme leader wants the other party to hear.
.
Du Xuan was shocked and buried his head lower: "I don't dare!"
"Haha, okay, stop talking about what you mean."
"I know that you are not convinced. If it were me, I wouldn't be convinced either!"
As the jade slip illuminated slowly and softly, the words of the Supreme Headmaster continued to reach Du Xuan's ears——
"Do you know why I punish you so harshly this time?"
Du Xuan rolled his eyes and thought of a possibility: "Is it because this matter was so big that even the people in Fengdian heard about it, so you had to punish your subordinates more severely?"
"Yes, but that's just one of them."
"What's more important...is the pressure exerted by a powerful person in the Phoenix Palace."
Having said this, the Supreme Headmaster paused for a moment, as if after a few words, he continued to ask: "Du Xuan, tell me honestly, have you ever offended Her Royal Highness the Princess?
"
"Your Highness the Princess?"
Du Xuan was confused for a moment: "Which princess?"
"Nonsense! Who else can be called such by me, besides the unique princess of the Phoenix Clan?"
