Everyone in the world knows that seizing a body is the last chance that heaven gives to practitioners to survive. It can only be performed once in a lifetime. If it is performed forcefully for the second time, it will completely disappear from the world.
Therefore, Huo Hui remained on hold until today, when Jia Rui was summoned by the sect, and the apprenticeship ceremony was about to begin, allowing him to go to the Yunxiao Hall to discuss matters. He could clearly feel Jia Rui's excitement.
Jia Rui's soul was split into two, but his consciousness could not be divided into two places. Although the heavenly soul escaped, it still needed the help of the earth soul and the human soul to act. Every contact was a huge drain, and it was also a source of energy for Jia Rui. It was the time when Rui was most focused and least able to take care of Huo Hui's body.
At the moment when Jia Rui's consciousness returned to his own body, Huo Hui quietly occupied the body and used the Flying Dragon Cloud Detector to steal the two Haoyang Tokens. When Jia Rui's secret technique was completed, he was filled with thoughts of what was about to happen. I was so excited to become a disciple of Master Nascent Soul, how could I be aware of such an episode.
After Jia Rui left, Huo Hui dragged his weak body to the second peak of Yunxiao Peak.
This is the location that Zhao Ning told him before. When he arrived here, he saw Zhao Ning feeding the little demon spirit in the mountain. The little demon spirit jumped around Zhao Ning. He was in a trance for a moment.
Zhao Ning noticed him and turned her head. The little demon spirits were so frightened that they hid behind the stone tablet.
Huo Hui knelt down and presented two Haoyang Tokens with both hands, "Senior Sister, I..."
"Junior Brother Huo." Zhao Ning took the Haoyang Order, "The next thing above the main hall is your home court."
Huo Hui kowtowed, his head seemed to be lowered into the soil, his voice was muffled, but firmer than ever.
"Huo did not hesitate to do anything."
In the Yunxiao Hall of the Qingxiao Sect, after a long silence, everyone looked at Huo Hui who was kowtowing with complicated eyes, listening to his last words.
"Today, I implore the Supreme Elder, the sect master, the elders, the real person, and the true disciple to give an explanation to the young senior sister, to me, to the dead disciples of the same sect, and to severely punish Jia Rui."
Jia Rui knew that he had no room for maneuver anymore. His legs and feet became weak and he seemed to be about to kneel to the ground, but the restraints of the true disciples prevented him from moving at all.
When he opened his mouth to curse or quibble, everything was kept in his mouth. Until now, he could only cast his eyes on the meeting table. Everyone at the table was indignant and disdainful. They noticed his eyes and wanted to spit on him, but some people were thinking. The previous friendship was just turning your head away from him.
He looked at Master Ling Xiaofeng, who was very disappointed with him. After receiving his gaze, he hesitated slightly, opened his mouth without speaking, and only looked at Master Shang.
At this moment, the three Haoyang Tokens have fallen into the hands of Master Ling Xiao. The Master is playing with the Haoyang Tokens with an unknown smile on his lips.
Master Ling Xiaofeng sighed and turned around, shaking his head at Jia Rui. Haoyang ordered this thing to be so important to Master Ling Xiao, how could he give Jia Rui a chance?
But Master Lingxiaofeng still had some confidence in his heart. He coughed slightly and said to Sect Master Pingyu, "Since Huo Hui has made the whole story clear, Jia Rui's silence should go away. Listen to him." What else can be said.”
Sect Master Pingyu also sighed, smoothed his beard, waved his robe sleeves, and silenced Jia Rui.
"None of this has anything to do with me. It's all Haoyang Ling's fault. Yes, it's Haoyang Ling who tempted me. Master, Sect Master, you must believe my words."
He roared, the veins in his neck popped out, and he used a lot of force to defend himself, but it seemed that he was trapped in the restraints of the immortal rope.
Zhao Ning glanced at Jia Rui and said, "Now that things have happened, why should Senior Brother Jia excuse himself?"
Hearing Zhao Ning's voice, Jia Rui's eyes became bloodshot. He suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Ning, "Shen Zhao Ning, actually you already knew this, right? You knew there was something wrong with that thing, so you tricked me!"
Zhao Ning stared at him and said, "Senior Brother Jia must be confused."
Jia Rui said harshly, "That immortal showed the way. You threw it back to me and asked me to find Haoyang's suicide note from the tomb. But I didn't know that Haoyang was such a person!"
Zhao Ning was slightly startled, and then she realized that the connection between Jia Rui and Haoyang started from that time.
Jia Rui said to the sect master on the stage, "Sect Master, it was the Haoyang Underground Palace that seduced me. It exchanged for me the secret method and the treasure of Immortal Haoyang, and at the same time, it borrowed my hand to return to the world. All of this really has nothing to do with me. The search for three heavenly materials and earthly treasures to form the Haoyang Order was all induced by the Underground Palace. It was all a trick of the Haoyang Underground Palace and had nothing to do with me."
"Jia Rui...hey..." Hearing what he said, Master Pingqian hesitated to say something and finally just sighed.
"Okay, Jia Rui, there is no need to push these things to the Haoyang Underground Palace."
Grandmaster Huo Rong watched a good show, and now he felt physically and mentally comfortable. He half-leaned on the armrest and said with a smile, "Haoyang Underground Palace is a dead thing after all. You said it yourself, I borrowed your hand." There is no way to wash away the sins stained on you.”
"Huo Rong!" Jia Rui was so angry that his teeth chattered when he heard Grandmaster Huo Rong's insulting words. He said angrily, "You said that about me, then why don't you put yourself in my shoes and think about it. If you were in my shoes, what would happen to Hao?" Master Yang, Master Yuanying's Lingbao underground palace is oppressing you, in order to survive, will you do such a thing!"
"Why do you want to live!" At this moment, Zhao Ning took over his words.
Jia Rui hesitated for a moment. He craned his neck and looked at Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning still looked cold and cold. He was obviously the center of attention in the hall, but he acted like a bystander.
She said, "If it were me, I would rather commit suicide to end the future troubles."
Zhao Ning looked at Jia Rui, "The world is not something that saints can hold up, but as we practice together we must at least have a clear conscience. What about you, Jia Rui, what do you think about your conscience?"
Jia Rui was speechless by Zhao Ning's words, but Zhao Ning had already answered her own words.
"You have nothing to be ashamed of, because your character is like this. You have no regard for the common people and the future, and you are wantonly selfish and value self-interest."
"You said that none of this is your fault. Putting aside everything related to the Haoyang Order, what about the people in the little secret realm who died because of your reckless selfishness? They died tragically in the bat because of your fisherman behavior. Where is Senior Sister Han Ying in the caves."
Jia Rui's eyes widened, and when Zhao Ning said the words "Han Ying", something bad came over him.
Zhao Ning waved her sleeves, wrapped in white cloth, and a corpse appeared in the main hall.
"Jia Rui! Looking at Senior Sister Han Ying's body, do you dare to look at the scene again?!"
Jia Rui fell silent.
He didn't dare to look.
He knew that everything was over, but he didn't expect that Han Ying's body would still be found by Zhao Ning after being burned by the flames and eaten by the bat demon.
Zhao Ning glanced at it, knowing that Jia Rui didn't dare to look at it. In Chen Tian's round light retrospection technique, the ten-breath blurred light and shadow, in addition to the evil-doing faces of the casual cultivators, there was also a figure hidden in the darkness.
He appeared at the moment when the last breath was about to disappear.
Zhao Ning caught it at the time, but she didn't tell everyone that since she left Lin Ke and others, Zhao Ning had a faint feeling in her heart that Jia Rui would definitely appear in the secret realm.
She didn't know if Jia Rui was hiding in secret, so she kept it secret.
Jia Rui is desperate.
This almost confirms his guilt of killing for profit. This crime is not the most serious, but it represents Jia Rui's character. This will overturn all his previous sophistry. It was not out of necessity, but out of complicity.
Zhao Ning bowed upward and said loudly, "Please let the elders on the stage and the sect leader judge the punishment. With this man's life, I can comfort the spirits of hundreds of disciples from the three sects in heaven!"
Chapter 120
Master Pingyu had been idle for a long time. When Zhao Ning asked Jia Rui to be punished, he subconsciously looked at the superior Ling Xiao.
Master Ling Xiao has been silent since the beginning. Maybe it's because he has seen all the vicissitudes of life in this realm and doesn't care about the things in the palace. Maybe all his attention is on the Haoyang Order at the moment.
From the moment the Haoyang Order was presented by Zhao Ning, Master Ling Xiao had been playing with it with his eyes lowered.
For Zhao Ning, the Haoyang Order is like a hot iron that burns hands. The dangers hidden in this thing are not something that a small Qi practitioner like her can withstand, and the opportunities in it cannot be obtained by taking a risk and seeking wealth and danger. Yes, Jia Rui's current fate is a lesson learned from the past.
Moreover, a person who selfishly covets three Haoyang Orders is different from Jia Rui? Sometimes, the best policy is not to be greedy but to let the sect handle matters with full authority.
In other words, this is not a retreat in order to advance. After all, in front of the entire Qingxiao Sect's senior leadership, no one will easily ignore Zhao Ning's contribution, and this will gain a lot of favor from the sect.
The leader of the Pingguan Sect was silent when he saw the Master, feeling a little embarrassed. Jia Rui had to find a suitable way to deal with such behavior, but he was troubled in his heart. This Jia Rui was not easy to deal with, even if Master Ling Xiao's His attitude was "Have I ever wanted to take someone as a disciple before?" He still had some scruples.
He thought for a while and then said in a very old fox voice, "What do you think about today's matter?"
Zhao Ning raised his head in surprise. It was far from what he expected. There was a mountain of irrefutable evidence in front of him. However, the leader of the Pinggu clan could not directly issue a punishment. Instead, he left it to the elders at the meeting table to discuss. This meant that Jia Rui's punishment was determined. There is room for negotiation.
Nearly a hundred disciples of the three sects died tragically, but the culprit still had a glimmer of hope.
Why?
Even Huo Hui, who was lying on the ground blaming himself, raised his head in disbelief. Why?
At the meeting table, Ji Xiu and other true disciples exchanged looks with confusion. Could it be that they were being too protective?
Jia Rui saw hope out of despair and didn't care about the looks around him. He looked pleadingly at Lingxiao Peak Biwu and Qingxiao Peak.
Master Bi Wu had a smile hidden at the corner of his mouth and a hidden look in his eyes. Sure enough, he was about to excuse Jia Rui, but he heard a bang and Grandmaster Huo Rong slapped him to help him.
"What else is there to discuss? After these three major sins, it is a joke that Jia Rui can still stand here. I pushed him directly to the front of the hall, pulled out his spiritual roots, and abolished his cultivation. The three disciples of the sect Thousands of witnesses, I cut off his head with the punishment knife as a warning to others!"
But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished his words, he elicited a sneer.
Master Biwu of Lingxiao Peak refuted him, "Master Huorong, for being so cruel, I'm afraid I'm not repaying your selfishness. Jia Rui is at fault, but the root of his fault is that bastard Haoyang a thousand years ago. Jia Rui's problem is nothing more than that. It's just that his mind is too greedy, so he was pushed into a state of inquiry. After hundreds of years of experience and experience of the various changes and vicissitudes of the world, his mind will become peaceful."
Master Qingxiaofeng also said, "Jia Rui also made great contributions to our sect during his time in the inner sect. The top-grade elixir he refined, Master Huorong, you haven't researched until now! In time, Jia Rui will be promoted to the Architectural Ji, I’m afraid Grandmaster Huorong will have to study the Edan first, which will be a great help to our Qingxiao Sect. A hundred years later, the Jiuzhou Dharma Conference will not be able to come out on top because of this!"
Grandmaster Huo Rong never wanted to pay attention to Ling Xiaofeng. Even if Master Bi Wu spoke, he would hear it in one ear and out the other, but today there is another peak with him.
"Don't you, Qingxiao Peak, also want to be as famous as dogs with Lingxiao Peak?!"
Grandmaster Huo Rong stood up in anger, and the two true disciples from Chixiao Peak also stood up. The three true disciples from Qingxiao Peak and Lingxiao Peak also stood up to confront each other fiercely. For a moment, there was a tit-for-tat confrontation in the main hall!
"Okay!" Sect Master Pingyu stopped sternly, "What are you talking about! The Supreme Elder has returned, and it's not enough to cause a wanton Jia Rui and ruin the apprenticeship ceremony. You also want the Supreme Elder to see the sect's behavior. Is there a big drama about the incompatibility between different peaks?!"
Sanfang sat back down.
Zhao Ning knew that in this matter, the leader of the Pingyu sect only wanted to play a mediocre role. She didn't understand what the leader of a sect, the leader of the four major sects in Kunxu Cultivation World, was worried about, but today Jia Rui's punishment must come to an end.
Zhao Ning stepped forward, saluted, and shouted loudly, "Supreme Elder!"
Master Pingyu was shocked, what was this girl going to do? Master Lingxiao's eyelids moved, and his gaze reluctantly fell on the hall. Zhao Ning felt a pressure floating in the air.
Zhao Ning was not afraid and did not back down, "There are many differences within the sect, please ask the Supreme Elder to make a decision!"
"Oh?" Master Ling Xiao moved, grabbed three Haoyang Tokens, and leaned on the throne, "Then... little girl, what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Ning's original thought was still, "A life for a life!"
Master Ling Xiao curled his lips and smiled, "Ping Guan, did you hear it?"
The leader of the Pingyu clan glared at Zhao Ning. Why didn't this little girl realize how he behaved just now? Seeing that Master Ling Xiao was acting according to Zhao Ning's ideas, he quickly stopped him and said, "It's necessary, it's rare to be gifted."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ning once again saw the leader of Pingyu leaning forward and whispering to Master Lingxiao, "He has a single fire spirit root and a fire spirit body. He can form high-grade golden elixirs, master."
Then I heard Master Ling Xiao say, "Then let him guard the Earth Demon Abyss and never come out until he becomes the Purple Infant of Heaven."
What does the high-grade golden elixir mean? It can make the already powerful Master Ling Xiao compromise.
Zhao Ning frowned invisibly. The Demonic Abyss was out of sight and the monsters were in turmoil. Ordinary cultivators must have been confused and filled with inner demons. It was a place of slow death. However, from the corner of his eye, Zhao Ning saw Jia Rui's performance. In his eyes, his face showed undisguised collapse, but his fingertips kept turning the simple ring.
For Jia Rui, is Dimoyuan really a place of death?
Zhao Ning lowered his eyes, hiding the thoughts in his eyes.
Jia Rui's eyes fell on the sect master. The sect master hesitated several times. He suddenly knelt down and said, "Jia Rui thanks the Supreme Elder for not killing. Jia Rui will obey the Supreme Elder's decree and suppress the Earth Demon Abyss forever. The earth demon is the first inner demon to make up for Jia Rui’s fault.”
When Jia Rui mentioned the word "inner demon", Sect Master Ping Guan seemed to be inspired, and advised Master Ling Xiao, "Master, not to mention the thin spiritual power in the Earth Demon Abyss, the Earth Demon also has the power to summon the inner demon. Yes, for the sake of cultivation, I will kill the inner demon, and for the sake of killing the inner demon, I will fall into the cultivation level. This cycle goes on and on, there is no possibility of promotion, not to mention the Purple Infant of Heavenly Dao, even the top-grade golden elixir will not be enough!"
"Pingyu!" Master Lingxiao suddenly shouted harshly. For just a moment, it seemed that the entire hall was frozen. The leader of the Pingyu clan no longer cared about his image, and knelt on the ground on the spot and said, "Master, calm down. , I am doing this all for the sect, for Jiu..."
"Okay." Master Ling Xiao waved his hand and removed the pressure.
Zhao Ning glanced at Sect Leader Pingyu, what were the words that Master Ling Xiao interrupted just now? Nine? Kyushu? High-quality golden elixir for Kyushu?
Master Ling Xiao said, "Those statements are all nonsense. I don't care about the sect's preference for these geniuses, but if this matter is to protect the geniuses too much, it will shake the disciples of the sect. Pingqian, you have not done anything for decades, and you are now In the end, from the perspective of the sect, it is still for your selfish reasons!"
