"Today, I convened a meeting of elders to make a ruling. I sent Qi Yuanhua and Lu Lishan to summon you, but you attacked and injured them, disregarding the rules of my Changsheng Sect. This is disrespectful!"
"The most important thing is that as a disciple of the Changsheng Sect, you brazenly killed your senior brother Lin Haoyu, betraying your teacher and ancestors. This is unkind and unjust!"
"How dare you, a disloyal, disrespectful, unkind and unjust beast like you, not admit your guilt? Kneel down!"
Lin Shan's aura became stronger and stronger, and by the time he uttered his last sentence, his aura had reached its peak. The mighty pressure of the Grandmaster Realm pressed down on Ling Xiao, trying to force Ling Xiao to his knees.
The energy dispersed in all directions, and many disciples around him turned pale and dazed, as if they had lost their minds to Lin Shan's words.
But Ling Xiao seemed not to be affected at all.
"Hahaha… "
Looking at Lin Shan's cold eyes, Ling Xiao suddenly burst into laughter.
"What a good way to accuse someone of a crime. It's easy to find a pretext. Could it be that the Grand Elder intends to force me to confess before the elders' ruling meeting even begins?"
Nangong Xuan, who was sitting at the head of the group, also looked gloomy and said, "Uncle Lin, this is the elders' ruling meeting. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this. I don't want to see a similar scene happen!"
The Great Elder also stood up and said slowly: "Grand Elder, are you trying to force a confession out of me? You should know that Ling Xiao is the Holy Son of our Changsheng Sect. His status is no worse than yours. He has the right to speak. Aren't you being too overbearing?"
However, an elder on the left stood up and said, "Great Elder, what you said is wrong. Ling Xiao has committed serious crimes and betrayed his master and ancestors. How can such a person become the Holy Son of our Changsheng Sect? Ling Xiao, I advise you to confess your crime as soon as possible. Maybe you can get a lighter sentence. Otherwise, you will definitely die!"
"That's right, Ling Xiao has committed a serious crime and must be severely punished. He is so bold and reckless that he killed his fellow disciples. He is not worthy of being the Holy Son of the Changsheng Sect!"
"Kill Ling Xiao!"
Immediately, several elders stood up, each with a gloomy look, and their eyes were full of coldness and mockery.
Obviously, they all stood on the side of Grand Elder Lin Shan.
Moreover, due to Lin Shan’s accumulated prestige, except for the great elder and a few elders who supported Nangong Xuan, most people actually stood on Lin Shan’s side.
The elders' meeting to judge Ling Xiao turned into a confrontation between Nangong Xuan and Lin Shan.
"Master, you have to make the decision for me! Junior Sister Lu and I followed the orders of the elders to go to Jinse Pavilion to invite Ling Xiao to attend the elders' decision meeting, but I didn't expect him to beat me up and break my arm over a disagreement. He insulted me in every way and was extremely arrogant..."
Qi Yuanhua actually took the opportunity to run out, kneeling in the hall and crying.
Combined with his bloody arms, he looked quite miserable.
Even Ling Xiao couldn't help but admire, what great acting skills!
"Too arrogant! Ling Xiao has no respect for his elders, he is rebellious, he oppresses his fellow disciples, and he harms his senior brother. He deserves to be put to death!"
"That's right! Although this boy is very talented, he has evil intentions. He will definitely be a threat to our Changsheng Sect in the future. It is better to kill him in the cradle!"
"I think he is a spy from another sect. His cultivation level has improved so quickly. He must have practiced some evil and unorthodox skills!"
The elders of Linshan's sect all stood up and spoke indignantly.
Seeing that most of the elders were on his side, Lin Shan looked at Nangong Xuan with contempt and revealed a hint of a sneer.
"Ling Xiao, do you have anything else to say?"
Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged when he heard the words of the elders, but the coldness in his eyes became increasingly intense.
"Very good! I finally saw the true colors of you elders. No wonder Changsheng Sect has been declining from bad to worse. You guys only know how to bully others, form cliques for personal gain, suppress dissidents, and don't care about Changsheng Sect's external enemies at all! If this continues, I think Changsheng Sect will be destroyed soon!"
Ling Xiao sneered and said.
“Bold!”
"You little bastard, you're looking for death!"
Immediately, several elders stood up and spoke coldly to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao stared at Lin Shan and said coldly, "You say I am disloyal, unfilial, disrespectful, unkind and unjust? I think you are the old beast who betrays your teacher and ancestors, does not distinguish right from wrong, and takes revenge on personal gain!"
Ling Xiao took a step forward, and an air of arrogance emanated from him, which made the elders who were scolding him slightly stunned.
"First, I am the Holy Son of the Changsheng Sect, and my position is equal to that of the Sect Master. This is the rule set by the Supreme Patriarch Tuntian ten thousand years ago. How dare you ask me to pay my respects to you? Are you trying to disrespect the Patriarch? I think you are the one who truly disobeys the sect rules and betrays your master and ancestors!
Second, Qi Yuanhua and Lu Lishan are only true disciples, but when they saw me, they spoke rudely. Not only did they not greet me politely, but they also used foul language. Do they still have me, the Holy Son, in their eyes? Do they still have the sect's precepts? You actually said that I don't follow the sect's rules? Do you have eyes? I think you are the one who can't tell right from wrong, black from white!
Third, Lin Haoyu relied on being a true disciple to kidnap my maid and burn down my Jinse Pavilion. After being defeated by me, he even tried to kill me with the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. It is only natural for me to kill him. Who dares to question it? It is only because Lin Haoyu is your grandson that you intend to accuse me. You are clearly seeking revenge for personal gain!"
Ling Xiao took a step forward every time he spoke. His eyes were wide open, his voice was passionate, and he exuded an awe-inspiring and inviolable righteousness.
It makes people feel as if an ancient saint is cursing the evil spirits, and every sentence is the truth and every word is justice.
This kind of heart-piercing interrogation actually frightened many elders and even made Lin Shan change color with anger.
“How can an old beast like you who betrays his master and ancestors, cannot distinguish right from wrong, and seeks revenge for personal gain have the dignity to stand in this Changsheng Palace? You are not worthy of being the Grand Elder of Changsheng Sect, let alone interrogating me, Ling Xiao. Having you in Changsheng Sect is simply a disgrace to Changsheng Sect and a disgrace to all the ancestors!”
Every word of Ling Xiao's was like an arrow, piercing Lin Shan's heart. Moreover, with the influence of the great power of heaven and earth, Ling Xiao's figure became extremely tall, and his aura even surpassed Lin Shan's.
"You... you little beast... you make me so angry!"
Lin Shan was trembling all over, his face was blue and white, his eyes were filled with rage, he pointed at Ling Xiao with one hand, and finally he let out a loud roar and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ling Xiao's words actually made him so angry that he vomited blood.
Many elders in the Hall of Eternal Life looked at Ling Xiao as if they had seen a ghost. They did not expect that Ling Xiao not only had an extraordinary talent in martial arts, but was also so good at talking. Not only did he fiercely refute Lin Shan, he also slapped Lin Shan hard in the face.
This is a real slap in the face!
