After listening to the words of the seventh elder Yang Jiang, Lingxuan smiled.

"The third elder said it's impossible, so you think it's impossible for me?"

Lingxuan dragged his slightly embarrassed figure to Yang Jiang, stared at Yang Jiang, and asked coldly.

The seventh elder, Yang Jiang, looked a little troubled and was speechless for a moment when faced with Lingxuan's question.

"Seventh Elder, do you understand my question?" Lingxuan asked.

Yang Jiang did not dare to hesitate and immediately replied, "I understand."

Lingxuan said again, "If you understand, answer me immediately!"

"I...I just think what the third elder said makes sense." Yang Jiang replied awkwardly.

"Haha..." Lingxuan smiled, with a cold tone, "You think what he said makes sense, but you think what I said makes sense, so you think there is something wrong with me refining alchemy in seclusion, and it is going to be detrimental to the sect?"

"No." Yang Jiang immediately shook his head and said, "Sect Master, I don't have such thoughts, I..."

"What are you?" Lingxuan said coldly, "What did you say outside just now? So many people heard it clearly. Do you want to say that everyone is deaf?"

"..."

Yang Jiang began to sweat and break out in cold sweat on his forehead.

What did he say just now?

At this time, he could no longer remember clearly.

However, he knows what he is thinking!

His idea at the time was very simple, which was to make the sect leader look embarrassed, discredit the sect leader, and pave the way for the third elder to come back and seize the position of the sect leader.

Therefore, what I said at that time must have been very unpleasant to hear.

Moreover, he also knew that his performance at that time was very strong.

Now, not only was he not sure that he had been caught, he also caused an explosion.

The sect leader is clinging to this point again, what can he say?

What was his rebuttal?

For a moment, he only knew that he was afraid, but he didn't know what to do.

"Using conspiracy theories to speculate on this sect leader, and forcibly destroying the sect leader's retreat process, inverting the elixir that was already being refined, and blowing up the furnace at the most critical moment."

Lingxuan was unreasonable and stepped forward, asking again, "In addition, you are inciting the disciples of the sect to defy my sect leader. What do you mean..."

After a pause, Lingxuan said coldly, "Yang Jiang, according to the sect's rules, how should I treat you?"

As soon as Lingxuan finished speaking, the second elder standing next to him stood up and said, "The seventh elder is responsible for the crimes committed by the seven elders. The following are guilty of maliciously defaming the sect leader, making false accusations against the sect leader, and trying to incite the disciples with conspiracy theories.

To punish the sect leader, he also destroyed the sect’s rule process and turned the furnace upside down, causing very bad consequences.”

After a pause, he continued, "According to the sect's rules, several crimes are punished simultaneously. Even if you are an elder, you can directly cancel your cultivation and be expelled from the sect!"

"..."

Hearing these words, the seventh elder Yang Jiang's expression changed greatly.

There was even more fear in his eyes.

He was so frightened that his body trembled slightly.

However, Lingxuan didn't care about this. He stared at Yang Jiang and asked coldly, "Did you hear clearly what the second elder said?"

"I……"

Seventh Elder Yang Jiang opened his mouth and swallowed, but he didn't know what to say.

"Sect Master, isn't the simultaneous punishment for several crimes mentioned by the second elder a bit serious?"

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came.

Then, a figure left the disciple at the entrance of Dan Pavilion and walked over.

The man who came was a middle-aged man, with a strong aura and a strong look of majesty between his brows.

"Fourth Elder!"

"Fourth Elder!"

"..."

When the disciples arrived, they quickly bowed their hands and saluted.

The middle-aged man known as the Fourth Elder nodded, and then walked all the way to Yang Jiang's side.

When Yang Jiang reached middle age, he felt as if he had reached a savior. There was a light of hope in his eyes, and he immediately said, "Fourth brother, I..."

However, the fourth elder patted Yang Jiang on the shoulder and said, "I understand, no need to say more."

After saying that, the fourth elder turned to Lingxuan, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Fourth elder Yang Hai has met the sect leader."

"Not so polite."

Lingxuan smiled faintly and said, "Your fourth elder is a famous person next to the third one. He knows many people in the Tianyang Dao Sect in the first domain. Now his hands and eyes can be said to be as good as the sky. This great gift from you, as my sect leader, is

I can’t bear it.”

Hearing this, Fourth Elder Yang Hai didn't care.

He said without changing his expression, "The sect leader is serious. I, Yang Hai, am a member of the Huoling Sect for one day and will be a member of the Huoling Sect for the rest of my life. No matter how much I enjoy my life outside, you are also the sect leader, so I have to bow to you. This

It’s a rule, it can’t be broken.”

Hearing this, Lingxuan smiled and said, "Since you still know the rules, what do you say about the seventh elder?"

Then he said, "You just said that you already know the situation. So, if you dare to ask the fourth elder, you said that the punishment mentioned by the second elder is serious. How do you think I should sentence him?"

"Back to the sect master, the punishment should be based on the sect's rules. This is correct."

Fourth Elder Yang Hai replied, "It's just that this conviction is a bit serious."

"Before, when Lao Qi contacted the third elder, I happened to be there and knew what they were talking about."

"Later, the third elder was also worried that Lao Qi might act recklessly, so he asked me to come back and let me control Lao Qi and not let him act recklessly."

"But, as a result, I still came back a little late."

"but……"

After a pause, he added, "I know that Lao Qi has absolutely no malicious intentions."

"He was also worried about your safety, sect leader, so he chose to break into the Dan Pavilion rashly."

"As for what he said, it is possible that it is indeed suspected of random speculation, but it is not possible to say that he is maliciously trying to slander the sect leader."

"And instigating the disciples will be detrimental to the sect leader, which is even more out of the question."

"Lao Qi is just a low-ranking elder. In terms of his status, even if he has this idea, he doesn't have the ability."

"so……"

After another pause, he added, "I think Lao Qi may have doubts about your seclusion and alchemy refining after listening to the third elder's judgment about you, so I want to find out what's going on."

"However, it was difficult for him to act recklessly by himself, so he pulled his disciples over and used them to embolden them, so that he had the courage to break into the Dan Pavilion."

"He did make a mistake by doing this, but I think at most it was a mistake of ignorance and a mistake of inciting the disciples' emotions."

"As for the matter of turning the sect master upside down and blowing up the furnace, it was purely an honest mistake."

"Although there are mistakes, I hope the sect leader can understand."

"Please also ask the sect master to take a lenient sentence for Lao Qi, considering that we elders have made a lot of contributions to the sect."

Hearing this, the great elders and others around him all frowned.

Not only them, the disciples behind also frowned.

What the hell is going on, everyone can figure it out as long as they are not blind.

It was obvious that the seventh elder, Yang Jiang, was taking this opportunity to cause trouble and ruin Lingxuan's reputation.

Even Yang Jiang himself acquiesced to this when the second elder announced the penalty.

However, as soon as Yang Hai, the fourth elder, came over, he overthrew them all.

In the end, it turned out to be just an honest mistake and a small problem that incited the disciples.

The former is not a problem at all, and the latter is completely a minor problem.

Because it didn't cause any serious consequences in itself.

As long as this is determined, Yang Jiang will basically have no problem.

Even the fact that Yang Jiang, the seventh elder, turned the furnace upside down can be ignored.

The so-called lenient punishment basically means letting it go.

Not only that, the most important issue is the last sentence - for the sake of us elders, who have made great contributions to the sect.

This is asking for credit!
