Chapter 332: The Verdict (1/2)

It was also at this time when Shi Ling finally opened her eyes once more. She then stood up and bravely walked towards the party who had come specifically for her.

”Inner Disciple Shi Ling. Do you know the punishment for the crime of killing your own brother in the sect?” The lead person asked in a grave tone.

There was anger barely hidden in his voice and he was commendable indeed for not striking out at once.

For this big man, there was no worse a transgression to be made than violating the edicts of the sect and murdering one of your own brothers and sisters. This was simply unforgivable!

”I know, Elder Zi Wu.” Shi Ling replied and was confident enough to return the stern gazes that she was given.

She was well aware of her deeds and knew the consequences in the aftermath also. As such, Shi Ling was mature enough to face them head on.

”Tell me the reason why you chose to take this path?” Elder Zi Wu asked.

As an Elder in the Sect Disciplinary Committee, it was only just for him to weigh judgment between the two parties concerned.

”When we were outside on a sect mission, that bastard Yao Ru tried to poison me.

I was only lucky that I have successfully escaped in time before he could do the vile plans that he has in stored for me.” Shi Ling paused before she looked at the bloody mess on the side.

Yao Ru's death face was filled with surprise. The bad boy never expected that he would die in this fine uneventful morning.

”I don't ever regret killing that pig, Elder Zi Wu.” Shi Ling added after a beat.

”Do you have any proof of your claim?” Zi Wu asked and his demeanor drastically softened after hearing the woman out.

He could see that this inner disciple Shi Ling was a good enchanting woman that any man would wish to conquer.

If this charge was true then Yao Ru certainly deserved to be cut into pieces for this wrong doing.

”I have none.” Shi Ling said in reply. Although she realized that she may have been hasty in getting her revenge but she could no longer persevere for even a day more.

She had waited for more than 5 years already and to wait would only add to her pain.

Yao Ru had asked for help from her 5 years ago and said that he had a map that would send them to the trail of a fallen Senior's cave mansion.

Shi Ling believed partly because of her greed and the promise of treasures that they could find. Alas, the end had only given her a lifetime lesson that she would never ever forget.

There was always danger in believing something that was too good to be true.

”A pity.” Elder Zi Wu sighed when he heard Shi Ling's answer.

He had wanted to help the woman but even he was not allowed to tamper with the reality that Yao Ru was indeed murdered today.

”From today on, Inner Disciple Shi Ling... is no longer part of the Wandering Wind Sect!”

”Give me your sect token, Shi Ling.” Elder Zi Wu declared his judgment on the spot. This was the usual punishment for murder inside the sect.

Although some of the other sects in the continent had more harsher penalty but the Wandering Wind Sect was a lot more casual in contrast.
