Ji Ke became a little excited when she mentioned what happened that day.
There was deep anger in her eyes, and she immediately told the story from beginning to end.
"At noon that day, I was practicing at my residence in Bailuyuan, and suddenly a female disciple sent me a letter..."
The elders of the Spiritual Medicine Hall and Chu Tiansheng looked at her with calm expressions and listened carefully.
As time passed by, Ji Ke became more and more excited as she talked.
When she talked about being stabbed by Ji Ling's sword and pushed off the cliff, her mood was both sad and angry, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"I never expected! Ji Ling could be so cruel and vicious!"
"He is my imperial uncle, my father's younger brother! He actually doesn't even let me, my niece, go! He is simply a beast worse than a pig or a dog!"
When I heard this, the truth became clear.
Chu Tiansheng's face was a little gloomy and his brows were furrowed.
He recalled that Xiang Wuji had told him last night that Ji Ling appeared to be loyal and honest on the surface, but in fact he was secretly observing the situation in the underground devil's cave...
Now, the truth told by Ji Ke further proves that Ji Ling is a cold-blooded, ruthless, despicable and sinister villain.
Chu Tiansheng had to admit that his uncle Xiang Wuji did have a good eye for recognizing people, and he could clearly see a person's character in a matter of seconds.
He also had to consider what would happen next if Ji Ling found out the secret of the Underground Demon Cave?
At this time, the elder of the Spiritual Medicine Hall sighed and comforted Ji Ke in a kind tone.
He is an old man with a stooped body and a white beard with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He has always had a gentle and generous temper and is the most popular among the Qingtian Sect.
Ji Ke wiped the tears from her eyes and sincerely thanked the elder of the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
After Chu Tiansheng frowned and pondered for a moment, he had an idea in his mind.
He said to Ji Ke in a solemn tone: "Ji Ke, you can heal your wounds peacefully in the Spiritual Medicine Hall. I will make my own decision on this matter."
After saying that, Chu Tiansheng turned around and left.
Ji Ke was obviously unwilling to give up, and quickly said in an anxious tone: "Master Head, Ji Ling is a heinous person, you must not forgive him lightly!"
"And Brother Tianxing, I heard that he was wronged and imprisoned in the Batu Caves. Now more than ten days have passed, and I don't know how he was tortured... Please let him go!"
However, Chu Tiantian walked out of the room without looking back and had no reaction to her words.
Ji Ke showed an expression full of disappointment and worry, and couldn't help crying.
The elder of the Spiritual Medicine Hall quickly comforted her: "Ji Ke, don't worry, our sect has its own rules. The head of the sect will definitely make judgments in accordance with the sect rules and will never protect anyone."
Although Ji Ke was worried, she had no choice but to nod.
Until now, she could only pray silently that nothing would happen to Ji Tianxing.
…
Chu Tiansheng returned to Qingtian Hall with a solemn expression and summoned Yun Yao and the elders of the Discipline Hall to come.
When Yunyao and the elder of the Discipline Hall entered the main hall, he gave the order straightforwardly.
"Elder Huang, bring Ji Ling and his two accomplices to the main hall immediately. I will deal with them!"
"Yun Yao, go to Batu Cave quickly and bring Ji Tianxing. I will judge this matter in person and restore his innocence."
The elder of the Discipline Hall didn't say much. He immediately clasped his fists and saluted, then turned around and walked out of the hall to carry out the order.
Yun Yao stayed and asked doubtfully: "Master, has Ji Ke woke up and you have learned the truth?"
Chu Tiansheng nodded and said, "Well, the female disciple woke up last night. I just came back from the Spiritual Medicine Hall and I have already questioned her face to face."
Yun Yao nodded and asked again: "Master, did you fail to activate the formation when you took Ji Ling into the underground devil's cave last night?"
Chu Tiansheng nodded expressionlessly and said, "Yes, he is not a rebellious person. The person we are looking for is still in our sect."
A strange color flashed in Yun Yao's eyes, and she already understood something in her heart.
But she is thoughtful and always acts in a flawless and steady manner.
Although she has the answer in her mind, she is not completely sure yet, so she will not say it rashly at this moment.
"Disciple, please resign!"
She bowed to Chu Tiansheng, then exited the Qingtian Palace and rushed towards the Batu Cave.
About a quarter of an hour later, she entered the Batu Caves and came to the door of the stone chamber.
When she saw that the cold iron door was dented and twisted, and the stone chamber walls were covered with cracks and large handprints, she immediately frowned.
Ji Tianxing was sitting in the corner practicing his martial arts. His face was pale and his body was stained with blood. He was obviously injured.
She woke up Ji Tianxing, frowned and asked, "Junior Brother Tianxing, what's going on?"
Ji Tianxing understood why she asked, so he answered truthfully: "Yesterday, a foreign woman in black robe crawled out from under the cliff and wanted to kill me without any explanation..."
After listening to what he said, Yunyao understood that it was the powerful demon clan who secretly invaded.
Judging from the degree of damage to the Cold Iron Gate and the walls of the stone chamber, the demon woman was extremely powerful.
Ji Tianxing was only seriously injured and was lucky to survive.
She didn't ask much about this matter.
"Junior Brother Tianxing, Ji Ke has woken up. The master ordered me to take you to Qingtian Palace."
After saying that, she took out a key and unlocked the cold iron door.
Ji Tianxing immediately showed a deep joy and said in high spirits: "That's great! I knew that Ke Ke was lucky and would definitely wake up!"
"Damn Ji Ling, it's time to plead guilty and be punished!"
Then, he walked out of the stone room and followed Yun Yao out of Batu Cave and rushed to Qingtian Palace.
When they entered Qingtian Hall, four people were already standing in the hall.
Those four people were the elders of the Discipline Hall, Ji Ling, Jian Yu and Lu Mingyang.
Chu Tiansheng sat in the first place, his face gloomy and silent.
The atmosphere in the main hall was very depressing. Ji Ling, Jian Yu and Lu Mingyang all realized that something was wrong, looked very embarrassed and felt uneasy.
When they saw Yun Yao leading Ji Tianxing into the hall, they were filled with grief and anger, and deep uneasiness surged in their hearts.
Ji Tianxing also stared at Ji Ling with cold eyes, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
When Chu Tiansheng saw that everyone had arrived, he said in a low voice: "Just last night, Ji Ke woke up after being treated by the elders of the Spiritual Medicine Hall."
"Just now, I went to the Spiritual Medicine Hall to question Ji Ke face to face. I have already learned the entire story of what happened that day."
Having said this, he looked at Ji Ling, Jian Yu and Lu Mingyang with a majestic expression, and shouted sternly: "Do you three know your guilt?!"
As his words sounded, invisible coercion emitted from his body, covering Ji Ling and the others.
The three people's faces suddenly turned pale, knowing that the matter was completely exposed and the truth would be revealed today.
Jian Yu and Lu Mingyang could not withstand Chu Tiansheng's powerful pressure, and immediately fell to their knees with a thud, begging for mercy again and again.
"Master, this disciple is guilty! I was confused for a moment, please have mercy, Master!"
"Master Head, this disciple will never dare to do this again in the future, and I hope the Master will give you mercy!"
Chu Tiansheng ignored them, stared at Ji Ling, and shouted in a deep voice: "Ji Ling, what else do you have to say?"
Ji Ling's heart was filled with grief, anger and unwillingness, and she looked completely lost.
A few days ago, he was very high-spirited and was about to become a popular figure highly regarded by the leader. In the future, he would become a direct disciple and even be qualified to compete for the top position of the leader.
But at this moment, he failed to successfully activate the Nine Dragons Demon Trap Array, and the incident came to light, and he was about to be punished by the sect.
The gap between the two situations was so huge, it was like falling from the clouds to hell, which made him almost crazy!
At this point, no matter how unwilling and sinister he was, he still couldn't use any of his insidious methods in front of Chu Tiansheng.
He could only kneel down on the ground, kowtow to Chu Tiansheng and beg for mercy: "Disciple knows his crime, please punish me!"
