The two white-haired old men were furious and scolded Shi Zhongjian sternly.
Even if the second elder defends and excuses Shi Zhongjian, it is useless.
Several other elders were also worried and worried, and they could not help but blame Shi Zhongjian.
Shi Zhongjian's situation became increasingly embarrassing and difficult. He lowered his head, as if he was pleading guilty and accepting punishment.
When several elders saw this scene, they didn't say anything more.
One of the white-haired old men looked at Shi Zhongjian with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "Shi Zhongjian, now that things have happened, a catastrophe has been caused. Do you know your guilt?"
Shi Zhongjian just lowered his head and remained silent.
The white-haired old man frowned and said again: "As a disciple of our sect, you must admit your mistakes. As long as you actively plead guilty and reflect on your mistakes, our sect can treat you lightly..."
Several elders nearby quickly winked at Shi Zhongjian, signaling him to confess his crime quickly.
Even the second elder sent a message to Shi Zhongjian and warned him: "Zhong Jian, the matter has come to this, so you should stop insisting.
Hurry up and confess your sins to the elders. We are just going through the motions. Master will intercede on your behalf and we will not punish you severely."
Hearing these words, Shi Zhongjian finally raised his head.
He glanced at the second elder firmly, and then said calmly in front of everyone: "The elders are right, the disciple is indeed young, lacks experience and experience, and his character is simple and simple. In the future, the disciple will work hard to improve.
However, the disciple will not plead guilty, and the disciple does not believe that Brother Tianxing is that kind of person!
He is the number one genius in the mainland, with noble status and unparalleled talent. How could he plot against our Shenyin Sect? He came all the way to murder our sect?
In short, until the truth comes to light, the disciple will never believe it..."
Shi Zhongjian's eyes and tone were very firm, and he did not flinch even in the face of accusations from the elders.
But before he finished speaking, the faces of all the elders changed, and they all showed expressions of hatred for steel.
The two white-haired old men were even more angry, their faces were livid, and they looked like they were blowing their beards and staring.
"Ridiculous! You are such a stubborn traitor!"
"It's hopeless! Second Elder, look at the good disciple you taught, how obsessed he is!"
"Since Shi Zhongjian refuses to plead guilty, please, elders, sentence him and convict him in accordance with the laws of this sect, so that he can reflect on his mistakes!"
Everyone looked distressed and wanted to convict Shi Zhongjian immediately.
The second elder was suddenly filled with anxiety, and he quickly stepped forward, stopped in front of Shi Zhongjian, and said to the elders: "Elders, I am not partial to my disciples. In fact, there is something hidden in this matter. Please be patient.
.The great elder has already sent a subpoena to the headmaster to inquire about the specific situation.
This matter will come to light only after the great elder receives the reply from the master. By then, it will not be too late for everyone to convict Shi Zhongjian!
If Shi Zhongjian is really guilty, I, as his master, cannot escape the blame and will also receive the punishment when the time comes!"
The second elder's tone was decisive, very firm, and contained an unquestionable flavor.
Seeing her reaction like this, the elders could no longer be aggressive, so they could only stop and murmur in a low voice.
"As expected, he is the most protective elder in our sect!"
"Hey... the second elder spared no effort to protect this kid!"
"Shi Zhongjian, Shi Zhongjian, how can you be worthy of your master's cultivation and maintenance?"
"Well, just as the second elder said, everyone will wait a little longer."
Everyone was silent, and the hall quickly became quiet.
After a while, a tall, tough, white-haired old man stepped into the hall with great strides.
His face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, he was holding a jade slip in his hands, and his expression looked a little joyful.
When everyone in the hall saw this person coming, they immediately showed expressions of anticipation and hurriedly greeted him.
"Great Elder, you are finally back!"
"Great Elder, has the Master Headmaster responded to the message?"
"What happened? Has that kid been executed by the headmaster?"
Several elders turned to look at the great elder with expectant eyes.
Shi Zhongjian also stared at the great elder, clenching his fists secretly in his robe sleeves, obviously feeling a little nervous and worried.
The great elder walked to the middle of the hall and stood there, looking around, and then raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
"Everyone, please be patient and don't be anxious or worried. I have just received a personal order from the headmaster!"
As he spoke, he also raised the jade slip in his hand.
Everyone's mood became more urgent, and they all looked at the jade slip expectantly, eager to know the answer immediately.
The Great Elder smiled slightly and continued: "We have all misunderstood Mr. Ji. Not only is he the number one genius in the mainland, he also has no ill intentions towards our sect.
Mr. Ji even has a deep connection with the headmaster of our sect and is a distinguished guest of our sect!
Mr. Ji came to our sect this time because he really had something very important to discuss with the headmaster.
The reason why he trespassed into the forbidden area was because he had no choice but to do so, so there is no need for everyone to worry!"
After hearing the great elder's words, all the elders looked surprised and started talking among themselves.
Shi Zhongjian also showed a look of relief, a proud smile on his face, and his fists in his sleeves slowly loosened.
"I know it! Mr. Ji is definitely not that kind of person. He is a genius and my savior. I will never misjudge him!"
He murmured to himself, his tone very excited and proud.
The second elder also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face and nodded to Shi Zhongjian, indicating that nothing was wrong with him.
The two white-haired old men who were angry before were the most embarrassed at this moment, and their faces looked a little unsightly.
Neither of them dared to look at Shi Zhongjian's expression, and their eyes were a little dodgey.
At this time, the great elder continued: "In addition, I have good news to announce.
Because of Mr. Ji's arrival, the headmaster has finished his retreat and will be leaving the retreat later.
At that time, the leader will summon all the elders and deacons to announce something in public!
Although I don’t know what it is yet, it is definitely a major event related to our thousand-year foundation!”
After hearing his words, even a fool would understand that this matter is definitely related to Ji Tianxing!
Moreover, Master Shui, who had never seen the dragon before him, actually showed up because of Ji Tianxing's arrival and wanted to announce important news.
This is enough to show how respected Ji Tianxing's status is! How deep his relationship with Master Shui is!
Everyone recalled the scene a moment ago when they cursed Ji Tianxing and questioned Shi Zhongjian, and they immediately felt extremely ashamed.
The elders in the main hall all looked ashamed, and they were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in!
Only Shi Zhongjian, as if he had been wronged, held his head high in high spirits, feeling particularly proud and relieved!
