The invisible divine power suppressed Nie Tianchen.
He lay prostrate on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
The invisible pressure made him feel terrified, as if he felt death approaching, and his whole body became cold and stiff.
The four elders standing behind him all turned pale with fear, and they all knelt down on the ground, bowing respectfully.
"Unfilial disciple, please welcome your master back!"
The five elders knelt down, and Zhibai and Shouhei also knelt down and saluted.
The overbearing and unparalleled divine power filled the hall, making them both feel anxious and afraid to express their anger.
Only Taoist Huanglong was still standing, his waist straight, his face red, and his eyes full of pride.
He stared at Ji Tianxing with his eyes, as if he saw his master Sword God back then, and his thoughts went back to more than 1,500 years ago...
Ji Tianxing sat on the bronze throne, looking down at Nie Tianchen and others.
Although, the five elders believed in him and accepted his identity.
But this is not the end, but another beginning.
He stretched out his left hand, and the evergreen vine flew up from the lampstand next to the throne and fell into his palm.
He held the longevity vine in his hand, pointed at Nie Tianchen who was lying on the ground, and said in a majestic tone: "Nie Tianchen, although I just returned today, I still don't understand the situation and situation in Tianzhu Mountain.
But what you did today has repeatedly crossed the line and touched the taboos of this sect.
Since this is your first offense, I will give you a lighter sentence, and I hope you will keep it in mind."
After that, he waved his left hand, and the longevity vine turned into a ray of green light and flew into Taoist Huanglong's hands.
"Huang Long, execute twenty floggings!"
Taoist Huanglong held the longevity vine in both hands and was stunned for a moment.
"Master, do you really want your disciples to carry out the punishment? Don't you want to carry out the punishment yourself as a warning to others?"
Taoist Huanglong understood in his heart that the master was reincarnated as Ji Tianxing, a young man in his twenties, who was really too young.
Master has just returned to Tianzhu Mountain, and several elders are not convinced. Master can take this opportunity to show his power and intimidate several elders.
But he didn't expect that the master would not take action and asked him to execute the execution on his behalf.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: "Is the master's current strength too weak, and he is afraid that he will show his cowardice by executing him personally?"
Ji Tianxing glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Nie Tianchen is your disciple. Of course it is your responsibility to discipline him. He is not qualified for me to execute him myself!"
Taoist Huang Long nodded quickly to express his understanding, and said in a solemn tone: "Disciple understands!"
After saying that, he held the longevity vine in both hands and walked to stand next to Nie Tianchen.
Nie Tianchen was suppressed by the invisible divine power, and he lay on the ground prostrate, unable to move.
Seeing that Taoist Huanglong was holding the Immortality Vine and was really about to execute him, his old face turned red immediately and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Great Immortal! Master! Please be merciful and spare this disciple this time!"
Although he is of a lower generation, he is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years and is also the great elder of Tianzhu Mountain. His status is second only to Taoist Huanglong.
Now that several elders and Zhibai Shouhei are present, he has to lie on the ground and be whipped. How shameful is this?
The thought of being whipped in public made him so ashamed and angry that his whole old face turned red as fire.
Taoist Huang Long did not dare to be merciful, and shouted with a majestic look: "Nie Tianchen, it's not my fault that I don't forgive you, it's really that you are too confused!
You have ignored your master's advice and repeatedly clashed with the patriarch, and you will definitely be punished like this.
If you show favoritism to your teacher, even the teacher will be whipped!
The ancestral precepts must not be violated and the family rules must not be forgotten. I hope you will learn a lesson!"
After saying that, Taoist Huanglong held the longevity vine and whipped it down with a "swish" sound, hitting Nie Tianchen's buttocks hard.
"Crack!"
A crisp explosion spread in the hall.
Nie Tianchen's purple robe immediately shattered, blood splashed from his buttocks, and he raised his head and let out a scream of pain.
Before his screams ended, the second whip came down again.
"Crack!"
There was another crisp sound, and Nie Tianchen was beaten until his skin was torn apart, his whole body twitched, and his back was immediately soaked with cold sweat.
The majestic elder of Tianzhu Mountain, the famous martial lord of the eighth level of tribulation, and the gray-haired old man were actually spanked in public... What a humiliation this was!
Nie Tianchen was not only hurt to the point of bone marrow, but also extremely humiliated. He wished he could just hit him to death.
But it happened that this was in the main hall, where Taoist Huanglong personally carried out the execution.
No matter how much pain and humiliation he suffered, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, not daring to scream anymore, and painful groans kept coming from his mouth and nose.
The four elders were the closest and watched Nie Tianchen being tortured with their own eyes. Drops of blood spattered out, and they all turned pale with fear and remained silent.
After a while, the twenty lashes were all finished.
The invisible divine power that suppressed Nie Tianchen had dissipated.
But he was in so much pain that he lost consciousness and lay on the ground like a clay figure, unable to get up.
His back and buttocks were already bloody and miserable.
The pain that penetrated deep into his bones made him remember it hard, and he never wanted to experience it a second time in his life.
But the miraculous thing is that the messy and blurry wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Taoist Huanglong held the longevity vine in both hands, walked respectfully to the foot of the high platform, and reported: "Master, the disciple's execution has been completed."
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly, waved his sleeves, and the longevity vine flew back to the lampstand and landed steadily.
"Okay, let's all get up."
As his words rang out, the chilling atmosphere that filled the hall was swept away.
Everyone felt relaxed, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stood up straight.
Only Nie Tianchen was in the most pain, struggling to stand up, grinning in pain and not daring to make a sound.
Ji Tianxing looked at Taoist Huanglong and asked: "I just returned to the mountain and saw that the spiritual energy at the bottom of the mountain was missing, the river had dried up, and the top of the mountain was also in a state of decline.
Even the disciples are no longer as grand as before, with only one or two hundred people left.
Huang Long, please tell me, what has happened in the past thousand years?"
When mentioning these things, Taoist Huanglong showed a look of self-blame on his face, and he quickly saluted and said: "It is the disciple's incompetence and failure to maintain the master's orthodoxy that allowed Tianzhu Mountain to wither like this.
Since Master ascended to the throne, many changes and disasters have occurred over the past thousand years, and our sect has been on the verge of destruction nine times.
The twists and turns and tribulations involved would be endless for three days and three nights..."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "Then you can keep your story short and just report the results."
Taoist Huanglong cupped his hands and said: "Since the master left, our sect has been known as the largest sect in the world. It has attracted great attention and attracted persecution and suppression from countless forces and countries.
And because Master successfully ascended and became the first person to ascend in 30,000 years, countless powerful people thought that our sect held a shocking mystery that could make the God of War ascend..."
