None of the disciples dared to speak, but they all looked at Ling Xiao with admiration.
Ling Xiao actually made Grand Elder Lin Shan so angry that he vomited blood with just a few words. Ling Xiao's eloquence and courage were really something that they could not match.
Furthermore, for a moment just now, everyone seemed to really think that Lin Shan was that bastard who betrayed his master and ancestors, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and used his power to avenge private wrongs. It could be seen how sharp Ling Xiao's words were!
Ling Xiao already had the knowledge and experience of a Supreme Being, so he naturally had a domineering aura about him. In addition, he had used a little spiritual mystic technique to achieve this effect.
"What?
The Grand Elder was rendered speechless by my words. Are you trying to silence me? "
Ling Xiao laughed coldly. He looked at Lin Shan's murderous eyes without a trace of fear.
"Hmph!
Little bastard, you insulted the elders of the sect. So what if you're the Son of God?
Can a Son of God look down on the sect rules and insult his elders?
No matter what you say, the three crimes you committed are all based on evidence. If you want to refute, is there anyone who can testify for you? "
Lin Shan was practically roaring, the murderous intent in his eyes undisguised. If it weren't for the fact that they were in public, he almost couldn't hold himself back from killing Ling Xiao with his palm.
This little bastard is too despicable!
Ling Xiao fell silent, but the mockery in his eyes became even more intense, causing Lin Shan to almost go crazy again.
"There's no evidence, right?
Since there's no evidence, there's no point in your exaggeration. Elders, I think that Ling Xiao should be executed immediately. What do you think? "
Lin Shan's threatening gaze swept across the elders.
"The Grand Elder is right. Ling Xiao has committed a heinous crime and should be executed immediately!"
"I agree to execute this little bastard!"
"Ling Xiao is not fit to be the Son of God!"
The elders who were loyal to Lin Shan jumped out immediately.
At this moment, Deng Yalin, who was standing behind Deng Tiande, gritted his teeth and stood out.
"I … I'm willing to testify for the Son of God!"
Deng Yalin's words immediately silenced the noisy Longevity Hall. Everyone's eyes fell upon him.
Some of the disciples even had strange looks in their eyes.
Wasn't Deng Yalin taught Ling Xiao a lesson? Logically speaking, he should hate Ling Xiao. Why would he testify for him?
Lin Shan's expression instantly darkened.
His cold gaze landed on Deng Yalin and Deng Tiande as he said coldly, "Junior Brother Deng, keep your grandson in check. This is not a place where anyone can interrupt!"
Deng Tiande was also anxious. He shouted at Deng Yalin, "Yalin, get back here!"
At this moment, Deng Tiande's feelings were complicated. He hated Ling Xiao for using the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud to embarrass him, but he was also grateful for Ling Xiao's guidance to Deng Yalin. Combined, he did not say a word at the Elders' Adjudication Meeting today.
He just wanted to remain neutral.
After all, Grand Elder Lin was not someone he could offend.
But who would have thought that Deng Yalin, this brat, would actually run out at this time, even clamoring to testify for Ling Xiao.
Deng Yalin's face turned red under everyone's gaze. However, he said firmly, "No, I want to testify for the Son of God!"
He walked to the center of the hall and ignored the shocked gazes of the others. He said to Lin Shan, "Reporting to Grand Elder, Senior Brother Ling Xiao passed the ninth level of the Longevity Tower in front of all the disciples and was conferred the title of Holy Son by the Sect Master. All of us are sincerely convinced. Moreover, my father and the Grand Elder are witnesses!
Since Senior Brother Ling Xiao has become the Son of God, his position and status are high. Naturally, he does not need to bow in front of the Elders' meeting. The first crime is not valid! "
"That's right!
I can testify for that! "Nangong Xuan smiled.
"I can testify for that too!"
The Grand Elder smiled like an old fox. He was delighted to see someone stroking Lin Shan's beard.
Everyone's gaze fell on Deng Tiande. Deng Tiande sighed in his heart. He knew that he could no longer remain silent. He nodded and said, "That's right. Ling Xiao is indeed the Son of Longevity Sect!"
The words of these three influential people naturally had a different effect. It was equivalent to confirming Ling Xiao's identity as the Son of God. Instantly, everyone was in an uproar.
Especially Deng Tiande. As the Enforcement Elder, he could be said to be the fourth most powerful person after Nangong Xuan, Lin Shan, and the Grand Elder. He had a high position and authority. Seeing that even he supported Ling Xiao, the other elders felt a chill in their hearts. They hesitated to make the decision they wanted to make.
"Good, good, good!"
Lin Shan laughed in anger. His cold gaze swept across Deng Yalin and Deng Tiande. A trace of killing intent spread out.
In the past, Deng Tiande was on his side. Now that he had sided with Nangong Xuan, he was naturally furious.
He suddenly looked at Ling Xiao and said coldly, "Even if you can avoid the first crime, the fact that you injured Qi Yuan Hua and killed Lin Haoyu is irrefutable evidence. No matter what, you must die!"
"Grand Elder, we are willing to testify for the Son of God!"
At this moment, three people walked in from outside the Longevity Hall. They directly knelt in front of Nangong Xuan and the other elders.
They were Liu Chuanxiong, Gu Zhong, and Wang Han.
"Grand Elder, although Qi Yuan Hua is a true disciple, after he came to the Jinse Pavilion, he cursed the Son of God. He said that the Son of God was a little bastard. I tried to stop him, but he even injured me. I still have the mark of the Wind Cloud Palm on my body. The Son of God injured me completely in self-defense!
According to the sect's rules, if he insulted the Son of God, not to mention injuring him, it wouldn't be too much to even cripple his cultivation! "
Liu Chuanxiong said boldly. He even tore open the clothes in front of his chest, revealing a huge palm print on his chest.
"The wind and clouds turned into mist, and the spirit turned into reality. This is indeed the Wind Cloud Palm!"
Immediately, an elder on Nangong Xuan's side walked over, checked it, and nodded.
The Grand Elder also smiled and said, "The 37th rule of the Longevity Sect states that those who disrespect and insult the Son of God will be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall. In the worst case, their cultivation will be crippled and they will be expelled from the sect!
Qi Yuan Hua deserved it! "
With the righteousness of the Son of God, all the accusations against Ling Xiao were no longer valid.
Lin Shan's eyes were gloomy. Looking at Ling Xiao's incomparably calm expression, he felt even more displeased. Moreover, he felt that this Elders Adjudication Meeting was vaguely out of his control.
"Then it's still a fact that you injured Lin Haoyu, right?
There are witnesses and evidence. The evidence is irrefutable. Why aren't you kneeling down and pleading guilty? "
