Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2921

Chapter 2921: Righteousness Aura

Translator: Legge

“You tied Junior Brother Yang to this Enforcement Platform and forced him to accept punishment and humiliation in front of everyone!”

Given Mo Qing’s personality, she could not help but flare up when she heard Zhang Hua’s words and questioned in a deep voice, “You’re saying this is the chance you’re giving Junior Brother Yang?

“Of course.”

Zhang Hua said, “As long as he’s willing to kneel down and confess in front of his fellow sect mates, the academy will naturally spare his dog life on account of our past ties and only expel him from the academy, leaving him to fend for himself!”

On the Enforcement Platform, another Perfected Immortal shouted, “The Sect Master imparted the Dharmic Dao to him and taught him how to cultivate.

How dare he suspect the Sect Master? Such a sinner is not worthy of inheriting the Dharmic Dao of the academy!”

“Even if he confesses, we have to cripple his cultivation!”

“That’s right, we’ll shatter his Dao Fruit first!

The crowd was in a frenzy.

It was not only the Enforcement Platform. Even in the crowd below, many cultivators waved their arms and shouted emotionally.

Of course, most cultivators were silent.

Some of them did not know the situation because it was none of their business.

Although some people sympathized with Yang Ruoxu, they were afraid and worried that they would implicate themselves.

A legacy disciple could not stand it anymore and frowned. “Senior Brother Zhang, just punish him according to the sect rules. There’s no need to torture and insult Junior Brother Yang like this, right? After all, he’s from the same

sect as us…”

“Xu Ye, what did you say?!”

Before the legacy disciple could finish, he was interrupted by Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua shifted his gaze and looked at the legacy disciple called Xu Ye. He said sinisterly, “I’ve long guessed that Yang Ruoxu must definitely have accomplices to betray his master and sect. To think that you would confess on your own volition!”

“Senior Brother Zhang, what are you saying? I…”

Xu Ye’s heart sank.

“Arrest him!”

Zhang Hua waved his hand and pointed at Xu Ye. “Anyone who dares to resist shall be killed without mercy!”

Immediately, a few legacy disciples swarmed forward on the Enforcement Platform and held down Xu Ye.

“What are you guys doing?!”

Xu Ye was furious as he struggled and hollered, “Zhang Hua, you can really resort to any excuse to pin a crime on someone. All I did was speak up for Junior Brother Yang and you want to convict me because of it? What right do you have?!”

“Shut up!”

The group of Perfected Immortals pinned Xu Ye to the other side of the bronze pillar and beat him up. In the blink of an eye, Xu Ye’s face was covered in blood and he could not speak.

“Senior Brother Zhang, he’s now powerless to refute. Guess that’s as good as a

confession.”

A Perfected Immortal looked at Zhang Hua ingratiatingly and smiled obsequiously.

Zhang Hua nodded in satisfaction.

When they saw that, the cultivators who were initially indignant lowered their heads and became even more silent.

“Elders, are you guys just going to watch?”

Mo Qing looked at the seven elders not far away.

The seven elders were silent.

Even Elder Two, who was famous for being upright and in charge of punishment, was silent at that moment and merely watched this scene numbly.

Zhang Hua was another legacy disciple of the Sect Master of the Academy. Everything that Zhang Hua did was actually the will of the Sect Master of the Academy.

He did not dare to object.

The Grand Elder once relied on his seniority to berate Zhang Hua. Later on, he even went to Heaven and Earth Palace to argue with the Sect Master of the Academy. What happened after that?

It was said that his lifespan was exhausted and he passed away in meditation, but who knew if that was the truth?

Mo Qing surveyed her surroundings.

Those cultivators were all fellow disciples of the academy and familiar faces.

However, the excitement, ferocity and cruelty in the eyes of her fellow sect mates made Mo Qing feel unfamiliar and shudder.

How did it become like this?

Heaven and Earth Academy should not have been like this…

Similarly to Mo Qing, there was another old man hiding in the secret ground of the academy.

“what the ....?!”

When Lin Xuanji saw the scene on the Enforcement Platform, his lungs were about to explode and he could not help but curse, “Is Heaven and Earth Academy filled with dogs like these?! What bullsh*t inheritance? I don’t care for it anymore! Old Man Xuan, go look for someone else to replace me!” As Lin Xuanji cursed, he turned to look at the old man beside him.

Old Xuan looked at what happened on the Enforcement Platform from afar and seemed to have aged even more. His heart was filled with sorrow and his eyes were filled with tears with a dejected expression.

“The academy is not like this. It shouldn’t be like this…

Old Xuan muttered to himself sadly.

Initially, Lin Xuanji wanted to turn around and leave. However, when he saw Old Xuan like this, he could not bear to see him in this state and sighed.

Initially, Heaven and Earth Academy was not like this. However, for more than 100,000 years, under the subtle guidance of the Sect Master of the Academy, the fellow disciples of the academy were filled with enmity against one another. In fact, some of them hated one another and there were malicious internal strifes.

The moment Su Zimo entered the academy, he sensed it and suffered such targeting as well.

It was a good thing for there to be competition between fellow disciples. For example, sword cultivators of the Sword World had spars and exchanges between fellow disciples. However, they valued the friendship between fellow disciples more.

However, ever since the Sect Master of the Academy took charge of the academy, he pushed this competition to its limits as though he was nurturing

Gu.

If they had conflicts with one another, they would think of ways to kill the other party!

The two of them hid in the secret ground and were helpless against everything. Old Xuan’s injuries had yet to recover and Lin Xunzhen had only just entered the Perfected One realm.

Once the two of them were exposed, their outcome would not be much better than Yang Ruoxu’s, let alone save him.

No one had noticed yet.

Above Heaven and Earth Academy, there was another figure hidden in the clouds.

The figure wore an iron crown and looked down at the academy, watching everything that happened on the Enforcement Platform coldly.

No one knew how long he had been here.

However, as time passed, the coldness in his eyes intensified with a chilling killing intent!

“Yang Ruoxu, why aren’t you confessing?!”

Zhang Hua raised his Enforcement Whip and whipped Yang Ruoxu once more. The whip was so ruthless that his flesh was lacerated and even his white bones were revealed!

“What crime have I committed?!”

Yang Ruoxu stood with his head held high but did not submit.

Zhang Hua said coldly, “It’s disrespectful and disobedient for you to question the Sect Master. The fact that you betrayed your master and sect is a huge crime!”

■■Does it mean that the Sect Master can’t be questioned even if he did something wrong?!”

Yang Ruoxu asked instead.

“How dare you!”

“Bullsh*t! How can the Sect Master be wrong?!

“It’s traitorous to even suspect the Sect Master!

Before Zhang Hua could speak, a group of legacy disciples shouted loudly. Yang Ruoxu smiled. “All these years, I’ve been searching for the truth of the past I’ve traveled through the Nine Firmament and come into contact with some cultivators who were involved back then. The entire sequence of events can be considered clear now.”

For more than 2,000 years, Yang Ruoxu had almost given up on cultivating entirely and had been trying to find an answer.

He had been to the Green Firmament Immortal Domain and met Lin Zhan and his wife of the Battle Kingdom, learning the truth back then.

However, he did not give up and wanted to find more evidence.

He then headed to the White Firmament Immortal Domain and spent hundreds of years befriending a Perfected Immortal under King Yun You, obtaining some secret details from this person.

Actually, the moment Lin Zhan and his wife released the news of the original Green Lotus, King Yun You and the other Kings who participated in this matter back then had already realized that they had been schemed against by the Sect Master of the Academy.

Since the original Green Lotus had already been buried in the Emperor’s Tomb, these Kings naturally would not hide this secret for the Sect Master of the Academy.

Yang Ruoxu spent more than 2,000 years roaming the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain to investigate what happened back then. He was only certain after he compared everything against what Lin Zhan and his wife said.

In the eyes of others, this action was indeed a little stubborn and even silly. However, he wanted to clear Junior Brother Su’s name!

This was his sense of morality!

He believed that under the bright skies, there was naturally righteousness.. Even the Sect Master of the Academy who could do whatever he wanted could not suppress it!
