You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

Three Nascent Soul stage cultivators joined forces to protect one person, but they still couldn't save him. Gu Changyuan was even killed right under their noses.

If this gets out, where will these old men put their faces? How will they ever be able to face the sect again?

"Surround it!"

One of the elders, carrying a sword, let out an angry shout.

The three figures blurred and landed directly around Gu Changyuan.

"Gu Changyuan!"

"This is utterly outrageous! Do you even know what you're doing? That's Elder Zhu! He's the enforcement elder of our sect!"

"How dare you kill him? Do you have any respect for the sect? Do you have any respect for us elders?"

Gu Changyuan had already planned to leave. Killing someone was no big deal. In his view, he was eliminating a parasite for the sect. Once the matter was settled, he should go back. But this person was still taking advantage of his kindness, which Gu Changyuan found unbearable.

At this moment, Gu Changyuan frowned slightly, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes that he was genuinely annoyed.

These old guys don't do anything productive, and they're not very capable, but they put on a bigger show and act more arrogantly than anyone else.

Gu Changyuan slowly turned around, then his gaze swept over his surroundings.

Just one glance.

Those disciples who had been peering around, eager to see what would happen next, suddenly fell silent.

Even the elders in charge of law enforcement were wiped out with a single slap. With their small bodies, how could they possibly be a match for them?

"What? Is there a problem with me killing him?"

The elder carrying the sword choked for a moment, but still spoke:

"No problem? You killed the elder in charge of law enforcement, and you're asking if there's a problem?"

"Oh!"

"What's the use of keeping that kind of useless old codger who can't distinguish right from wrong? Are we going to keep him around for the New Year? Wouldn't it be better to save the sect some food?"

"you......"

The three elders were so angry at these words that they almost couldn't breathe.

What kind of talk is that? That's an elder at the Nascent Soul stage! How did he become a piece of trash who wastes food in your mouth?

Gu Changyuan ignored the expressions of the three elders and took a step forward.

"Don't glare at me like that."

"That old dog surnamed Zhu, as an elder in charge of law enforcement, is neglecting his duties."

"Without asking questions or investigating the truth, people are convicted based solely on that woman's one-sided account."

"They even tried to harm me, their holy son, by resorting to torture and persecuting a pillar of the sect, turning black into white. Such a scoundrel deserves more than just being killed."

"Given my temper, the fact that I didn't execute his entire family is already a sign that I'm in a good mood today!"

The three elders were speechless with anger at Gu Changyuan's words.

Because Gu Changyuan's words were reasonable.

They had just come out of the customs and rushed over when they heard the commotion.

Although I didn't witness the events firsthand, I did hear some of the disciples' discussions on the way here by scanning with my divine sense.

They were all aware of Qin Shuang's situation.

Who is Qin Shuang?

He was known throughout the sect for his aloof and cold nature, and was single-minded in pursuing the Dao. Although he didn't like to talk to people, he was definitely not the kind of person who would steal or cheat.

Moreover, she is at the Nascent Soul stage.

A Nascent Soul stage expert steals a Foundation Establishment Pill from an outer disciple?

If this got out, not even a dog would believe it.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense can figure out the trickery involved.

It must be that outer disciple named Chen Yueyao who's up to something, or someone is trying to mess with Qin Shuang.

And what about Elder Zhu?

He took sides without distinguishing right from wrong, which is indeed dereliction of duty, or even malfeasance.

The three elders exchanged glances, their eyes flickering slightly.

Their momentum inevitably weakened somewhat.

They instinctively turned their heads to look at the group of disciples around them.

If, at this moment, even just one disciple stood up and said that Chen Yueyao was innocent, or that Elder Zhu was fair, they would have a way to save face.

but.

No.

not a single one.

Clearly, everyone knew exactly what was going on.

It's clear who is right and who is wrong.

Elder Zhu did indeed wrong Qin Shuang, and he did make a mistake.

Gu Changyuan looked at the three speechless old men, sneered, and his face was full of mockery.

"What? Speechless? It seems you all know in your hearts that this old dog deserves to die. Since you know, then get out of the way and stop blocking our view."

As he spoke, Gu Changyuan was about to walk through them.

He really didn't want to waste any more time talking to these people.

however.

Just as he was about to walk away.

The elder in the blue Taoist robe suddenly stepped forward and blocked Gu Changyuan's path once again.

He looked at the headless corpse on the ground; it was his junior brother, with whom he had worked for hundreds of years.

Even if Zhu Changming was wrong, even if he truly deserved to die.

But that doesn't justify Gu Changyuan killing people arbitrarily!

If this precedent is set, what will become of the sect's rules? What will become of the authority of the elders?

"Halt! Gu Changyuan, you make that sound so easy. Even if Elder Zhu is wrong, even if he was at fault first, it's not your place to resort to torture!"

"Each sect has its own rules and regulations, which are decided by the sect leader and the supreme elders!"

"You directly and ruthlessly killed Elder Zhu, which is an act of cruelty against a fellow disciple. If we let you go today, how can we explain this to the sect leader? How can we explain this to all the disciples of the sect?"

Gu Changyuan stopped in his tracks.

"Confess? You want to confess, right?"

Then, Gu Changyuan took a step closer to the elder in the green robe.

The elder in the green robe felt his breath catch in his throat and instinctively wanted to back away.

But he held back, bracing himself and standing still, staring intently at Gu Changyuan.

"What do you want to do?"

The elder in the green robe shouted, his voice sharp but his heart filled with fear.

Gu Changyuan did not answer. He took another step forward, and the distance between the two was less than three feet.

"After all that I just said, are you deaf? Or are you also planning to go down and keep that Zhu company, so you can give him an explanation?"

The elder in the green robe turned deathly pale instantly. The three of them hadn't even withstood Gu Changyuan's attacks, let alone him alone now...

The elder in the green robe knew in his heart that this kid was truly willing to kill him.

After all, Elder Zhu's body was still nearby, but if he weakened his resolve now...

But that fear instantly dissipated most of his so-called sense of justice.

Looking at his cowardly appearance, Gu Changyuan's disdain deepened.

At this moment, Gu Changyuan continued walking forward until the elder in the green robe had nowhere to retreat, until Gu Changyuan's face was almost touching his.

"So what do you mean? Do you think I did something wrong? Or is it that...?"

"Could it be that you want to settle scores with me?"

"Or do you really want to go down and keep Elder Zhu company?"

After he finished speaking, the spiritual energy around Gu Changyuan fluctuated again.
