Chapter 29
: Conviction Unsuccessful, Sect Leader Makes the Final Decision
The situation has completely reversed, and the overall picture is now clear.
Right and wrong, black and white, were clearly seen by everyone present.
Xie Yanchen is not arrogant and heretical, but rather he is restoring order and bringing benefits to the sect!
Wang Demao did not cultivate his Daoist heart, but instead stubbornly adhered to the old ways, deliberately framed and suppressed geniuses!
The difference between superior and inferior is immediately apparent, and the distinction between good and evil is clear!
But Wang Demao was completely overwhelmed by anger and humiliation.
He has lost face and his authority has collapsed. If he lets this go, he will have no prestige left in the outer sect!
Even if he knew he was in the wrong, he would forcefully convict him and forcefully subdue everyone present!
"presumptuous!"
Wang Demao gritted his teeth and roared angrily, forcefully maintaining the aura of an elder.
"Even if your deductions of cultivation techniques have made some progress, you still cannot escape the guilt of recklessly altering ancestral laws and privately changing the orthodox tradition!"
"The ancestral laws of our sect can be discussed, revised, and submitted to the council of elders! But they must not be altered privately!"
"You, a mere outer disciple, have privately altered a thousand-year-old tradition, violated sect rules, and disrupted the foundation of the lineage! The evidence for this crime is irrefutable and undeniable!"
"Today, I will execute you according to the law! I hereby strip you of all your cultivation and expel you from the Qingyun Sect to set an example!"
The ruthless and resolute words echoed throughout the entire square!
He was going to take a risk, forcibly convict Xie Yanchen, and forcibly depose him!
Even if the people's hearts are turned away, even if he is in the wrong, he will still rely on his elder's authority to cover up the truth!
The disciples were instantly in uproar, everyone was furious, but no one dared to stop them!
The other elders on the platform remained silent, unwilling to get involved in this conflict between master and disciple.
With the severe punishment imminent, the young man is about to have his cultivation crippled and be expelled from the sect!
At this critical moment—
A distant, vast, and ethereal voice, as clear as a mountain, slowly descended from the sky, resounding throughout the heavens and earth!
"stop."
Two simple words, yet they exuded an imposing aura, carrying the supreme pressure of a sect leader, instantly silencing all the noise in the room!
The clouds slowly parted, and a figure in a plain-colored Taoist robe descended gracefully through the air.
With a figure as deep as the sea and an extraordinary temperament, he was none other than Ling Canghai, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect!
Everyone present immediately bowed respectfully, their expressions showing utmost reverence: "Greetings, Sect Master!"
Wang Demao froze, his heart sank, and an ominous premonition instantly swept over him!
The sect leader himself has come!
He thought it was just a routine monthly lecture, a trivial matter that the sect leader would never bother with.
Unexpectedly, the entire incident was witnessed by the sect leader!
Ling Canghai's gaze swept lightly over the pale and distraught Wang Demao, then turned to Xie Yanchen, who stood calmly in the center of the room. His eyes were clear and discerning, and he had already seen through the whole story.
He remained hidden and observed the entire process, and was fully aware of everything from Wang Demao's deliberate framing and distortion of the truth to Xie Yanchen's point-by-point evidence and perfect deduction.
He had already made up his mind about right and wrong.
"Wang Demao".
Ling Canghai's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"The ancient methods have flaws, which have been vaguely recorded in ancient books throughout history. Either you are unaware of them, or you are simply ignorant."
"It is a great fortune for the sect to have the younger generation discover the flaws, perfect the tradition, and benefit the disciples of the sect. This is a meritorious deed."
"You are unaware of your own shortcomings, you do not strive for progress, but instead become complacent, distort the truth, deliberately frame geniuses, and arbitrarily impose punishments."
"You are unworthy to preach, much less to condemn!"
Every word was powerful and resounding, every sentence a resounding conclusion!
To publicly and completely deny all of Wang Demao's words and actions!
The verdict was announced in public: Xie Yanchen was innocent and had rendered meritorious service!
Wang Demao trembled all over, his face turned pale, and he instantly collapsed half a step. All his scheming, revenge, and domineering thoughts were crushed by the sect leader's words!
All his arrogance and deliberate framing were nothing but a farce that made him look ridiculous in the eyes of the sect leader!
Ling Canghai's gaze returned to Xie Yanchen, his expression softening slightly, filled with deep appreciation and caution:
"To alter ancestral laws without cause is to be considered rebellious."
"But by tracing back to the source, correcting omissions, perfecting the tradition, and rectifying the flaws of a thousand years, you are advancing the Great Way and bringing prosperity to your sect."
"They have done nothing wrong and need not be held accountable."
"Let's call it a day."
With a single word from the sect leader, all of Wang Demao's conspiracies were completely shattered!
The crisis of Xie Yanchen's martial arts being ruined and his sect being expelled vanished in an instant!
All the disciples present were greatly shaken and felt utterly delighted!
Justice resides in the hearts of the people, and the sect leader has a clear judgment of right and wrong!
Right and wrong, black and white, were clearly seen by everyone present.
