Outside the Hall of Appreciation of Merits.
Rumors are flying and people are buzzing!
Many disciples in the sect knew that something big had happened here, so many of them stopped practicing or were busy with their own affairs and rushed here, planning to watch a good show.
"Tsk, tsk, isn't that person Ling Xiudao? I heard that he is a leader among the many outer disciples. Why is he kneeling outside the merit reward hall today? Could it be that he offended some important person and was punished?"
"Hush! Shut up! Do you know who Ling Xiudao has offended? Be careful, walls have ears. A disaster is coming..."
"Hey, what are you afraid of? It was Ling Xiudao who offended Senior Brother Luo Zhanyuan, not us. Whoever asked him to offend whomever was wrong, he offended Senior Brother Luo..."
"Isn't that right? Senior Brother Luo is not only an inner disciple, but also Senior Brother Jian's right-hand man. He has suffered a big loss and of course he has to settle the score with Ling Xiudao."
"Senior Brother Jian? Could it be that he is one of the top three beings among the inner sect? This Ling Xiudao is in a terrible state. Even if he doesn't die today, he will still be peeled off."
"Yes, it was Senior Brother Jian Jiuyuan who provoked this person. Even the stewards in the sect did not dare to come and ask questions... eh..."
Amid the discussion in the audience, a figure with a bruised nose and swollen face and blood stains also came into view. It was Ling Xiudao.
It's just that at this time, Ling Xiudao was not standing, but was in an extremely embarrassed state, kneeling outside the merit reward hall, being scorched by the scorching sun and exposed to crazy heat. If he continued at this rate, it wouldn't take long before he would lose his strength and fall into a coma. .
In any case, Ling Xiudao was somewhat famous among the outer sects. To be treated like this this time was definitely a great shame and humiliation for Ling Xiudao!
But even if it's humiliating, so what?
The person who took action was an inner disciple and the right-hand man of Senior Brother Jian Jiuyuan. Faced with such an existence, Ling Xiudao had no strength to resist, nor did he have the strength.
In the situation just now, if Ling Xiudao dared to resist and didn't kneel here, he might be deprived of his cultivation and thrown out of the mountain gate.
The reason is also very simple. He actually reported on Ling Xiudao and assassinated Luo Zhanyuan in the Blood Demon Cave. He also used ghostly tricks to trick Dongfang Ao to death. In addition, there were many witnesses, so Luo Zhanyuan was found guilty of this matter. He was determined to take advantage of this excuse to take revenge, avenge his past humiliation, and let Ling Xiudao have a taste of what it felt like to be completely humiliated.
"Luo, you can insult me, but why did you deliberately let Ji Hao and Xiaoxuan go? Is it possible... do you still want to attack Qin Dong?"
Kneeling with a face of humiliation, Ling Xiudao still did not forget Qin Dong. He knew that Luo Zhanyuan deliberately let Ji Hao go, just to lure Qin Dong to come.
If Qin Dong got the wrong idea and came to the merit reward hall, I'm afraid that he would not be the only one kneeling here, but Qin Dong would be implicated and would suffer as well.
"Hey, you traitor, you may be a little weaker, but your brain is not stupid at all. You actually guessed my plan?"
Luo Zhanyuan stood in the field, like a superior immortal, looking down at the ants in the world, and sneered disdainfully: "But even if you guessed it, so what? Don't you always think that Qin Dong values love and righteousness? This time you will be detained Come on, do you think Qin Dong is coming or not? Hahaha..."
As he said this, he even burst out laughing, as if he could see Qin Dong hurriedly coming over to die in the next second.
"Beast! You beast!"
Ling Xiudao was so angry that he was shaking all over. How could he not know Qin Dong's temper? In order to save his own life, that guy will never sit idly by and will definitely come.
Once he comes, he will fall into Luo Zhanyuan's trap, and he will never be able to leave the merit reward hall safely again.
Next, it is estimated that Qin Dong will be insulted ten times, or even a hundred times, than himself!
"You're angry, right? You're angry, right? Hehe... Ling Xiudao, if nothing else happens, what you will see later will be even more exciting..."
Luo Zhanyuan laughed proudly, not hiding his arrogance at all, and said with a ferocious smile: "That bitch insulted me too much. If I don't trample him under my feet today and humiliate him severely, how can I calm down my anger? Don't worry, you won't If you are going to die, I will definitely let you live a good life. Life is worse than death. You will live in humiliation in the outer sect for the rest of your life and become a joke..."
"you!"
Seeing Luo Zhanyuan being so vicious, Ling Xiudao was so angry that he didn't know how to refute.
He understood that the angrier and unwilling he was, the happier Luo Zhanyuan would be, as if torturing them was Luo Zhanyuan's pleasure and would not arouse any sympathy at all.
Rather than continue to be humiliated, it is better to remain silent!
At the moment, Ling Xiudao has no hope of leaving this place safely. He only prays secretly in his heart that Qin Dong must not fall into Luo Zhanyuan's trap for his own sake...
"You're not talking, are you? Humph, come here, beat me! As long as I beat this ungrateful guy to a cripple, I won't believe it. That little beast Qin Dong has been hiding and refusing to show up. ..." Luo Zhanyuan said a few words of humiliation, then became impatient. He shouted and issued an order.
"Yes, Senior Brother Luo!"
As soon as the order was issued, a disciple in Tsing Yi jumped out from the crowd with a staff in hand, rubbed his palms, and then swung the weapon, hitting Ling Xiudao's spine with all his strength.
This stick specializes in targeting the vital points of the human body. If it hits, it may damage the muscles and bones at least, or it may very well beat Ling Xiudao into a cripple.
This kind of punishment has always been imposed only on those disciples of the Qianyang Sword Sect who committed heinous crimes. Unexpectedly, Luo Zhanyuan actually took it out and used it on Ling Xiudao.
It can be seen that Luo Zhanyuan has made up his mind to force Qin Dong out and will never show mercy.
Wow!
With a wave of the staff, the wind roared loudly. With just one wave of the staff, it was like a huge disaster was about to befall Ling Xiudao's body.
"stop!"
At the last moment, suddenly, a cold voice shouted from the crowd again!
As soon as this sound came out, before anyone arrived, a burst of energy came through the air, rising in the wind, and turned into a wall of energy, blocking Ling Xiudao's body, firmly protecting his body. in.
"Ouch!"
The law enforcement disciple didn't even hit Ling Xiudao, so he screamed and was shaken back. His staff came out of his hand and flew more than ten meters away.
As for him, he fell back. His body was unstable, he staggered, and he sat on the ground on the spot. His butt almost broke in two!
"what's the situation?"
Seeing this situation, everyone was shocked. They secretly thought that at this time, who would dare to bring trouble to Luo Zhanyuan? Could it be that guy Qin Dong?
It’s already been like this, but this kid still dares to come...
Is it possible that he is really not afraid of death?
