However, to Lee Jiao who was being beaten up, he was completely confused.
He looked at Lee Fengxue in shock, his triangular eyes could not help but beat as his heart twitched uncontrollably.
After entering the Council of Elders, he carefully managed the guild. Over the past few decades, he finally gained quite a bit of prestige. It could be said that in the entire Council of Elders, he held an important position.
Now, anyone who saw him would have to address him as Senior Brother Li. Moreover, he had once secretly thought that with his current power, it was enough to affect nearly half of his Netherworld Sect!
However, this slap completely threw him down!
”It's not a big deal?”
Lee Fengxue's expression became even more sinister, and an imposing manner appeared from between his brows, causing everyone to look at him with a sense of submission.
”If this is not a big matter, then what is!? Could it be that the death of all disciples is a major event only when the entire sect has been annihilated?! ”
”What is the purpose of establishing the Elders Guild to provide for you elders!?”
”Within the Netherworld Sect, there are tens of thousands of disciples. They are not empty-handed, and these disciples, each of them has their own family supporting them from behind, they provided a large amount of resources, and in the end, who did they hand them over to!?”
”Disciple's death is not a big deal?” What big words you have there! From what I see, an elder like you can also go and die now! ”
Lee Fengxue waved his sleeves heavily. He turned his head around in anger and no longer looked at Lee Jiao.
”Master, calm down. Elder Li made a slip of the tongue, that's not what he meant. As elders, who doesn't value their disciples?”
”It's just that when Qiu Tong came to report back then, his words were vague, and he only said that there was an anomaly in the Rare Devil Cave. He said that there might be a demonic horde appearing, and when everyone asked if he was sure, he did not dare to nod.
”That's right, and Master is in closed door cultivation, Ghost Protector is in charge of your safety, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. This will have a huge impact on the entire sect.”
After everyone exchanged words, they started to defend themselves.
At this time, a grand bell chime rang out from within the Heart Confirmation Hall. The bell chime was ethereal, crisp, and did not have a hint of turbid color. It spread far and wide and reached all the corners of the Netherworld Sect.
Within the sect, all the elders and disciples had strange expressions on their faces when they heard the bell chimes, because this clear bell chime represented that the person who had passed through the mental magic array formation was speaking the truth!
Since Lin Yue was telling the truth, then, the only one who was lying would be the Clan Elder!
The Elder lied and framed Qiu Tong!
This was big news!
This matter quickly caused a great uproar amongst the disciples as they all whispered and discussed amongst themselves.
”When the bell rings, everyone in the sect knows that there is a problem with the elders. They will definitely not be convinced. What will you do in the future?” ”You guys can settle this matter yourselves.”
Lee Fengxue said coldly, he did not spare them another glance, and headed straight towards the deeper parts of the sect.
All of the elders in front of the Audience Hall frowned. They understood what Lee Fengxue meant, that is, to push out a hefty scapegoat to deal with this matter!
”Someone must sacrifice himself for this …” One of the elders spoke in a solemn voice.
”The person who jumped out to denounce Qiu Tong that day in the Nether Hall didn't seem to be me.”
”It wasn't me.”
Everyone's eyes flickered, and after a while, their gazes all landed on Lee Jiao. Back then, in the Netherworld Great Hall, every word that Qiu Tong said, Lee Jiao would completely deny it. It could be said that with just his strength alone, he had extinguished everyone's hopes of making a move.
”Cough cough, about this, let me say something fair.”
A blue-robed elder whose face was covered with green spots purposefully coughed, then solemnly said: ”Elder Li, it was you who repeatedly obstructed us at that time, causing everyone to not be able to come forward in time. You have the primary responsibility for this matter, so you should take it out.”
Lee Jiao's face instantly turned pale white. Then, with a loud clang, a dense blood light surged again!
Anger!
His heart was filled with rage!
”Zhao Xinglong, I respect you as an Elder of the Elders Guild. Why are you being so shameless? Weren't you all fine with what I said back then!?”
”Hehe, it's true that there's no objection, but we don't agree either.”
”Everyone, listen to the orders of the Lord Protector. These are the sect rules. Could it be that you want us to violate them?”
The rest of the elders all laughed coldly, and their expressions changed in an instant as they stared at Lee Jiao with cold expressions.
