Patriarch Gu should not have come back so soon. According to the original plan, it would take at least two hours. There must be a reason for him to come back earlier.
Last time at the Brown Blood Mountain, Patriarch Gu gave Lu Li and Qian Huanhan a golden jade talisman each. Lu Li had used his and Qian Huanhan's was not used yet.
When they came to the Hall of Law, Lu Li asked Qian Huanhan to crush the jade talisman.
Patriarch Gu must have sensed it. He must know that something was wrong and came back at once.
Back at the Valley of Relics, Patriarch Gu asked around and learned the gist of the matter. As soon as he stepped into the Hall of Law, he heard that Jiang Lianxue wanted to kill Lu Li and that she was hacking at Qian Huanhan with her sword. How could he not be angry?
The Hall of Law was a spacious hall with many powerful warriors. Naturally, Patriarch Gu would not allow Jiang Lianxue to kill someone here.
Just now, Chief and Jiang Lianxue's father were about to stop Jiang Lianxue. Unexpectedly, Patriarch Gu came back.
Coincidentally, he happened to run into this.
"Whoosh!"
Chief moved his hand. After a white glare, Jiang Lianxue's sword was knocked away. Chief scolded, "Jiang Lianxue, have you had enough?"
Jiang Lianxue was already startled to see Patriarch Gu come in. She was terrified.
Now, her sword was knocked away and she was scolded by Chief with a hostile tone. Jiang Lianxue did not dare to act recklessly. She stood there, feeling wronged. Her eyes reddened and tears welled up.
Patriarch Gu did not look at Jiang Lianxue. He cupped his fists to Long Xuesha and walked to Lu Li and Qian Huanhan. "Tell me the details."
Lu Li said nothing. Qian Huanhan told Patriarch Gu in a low voice.
He did not exaggerate. He just told the whole story. He believed that Patriarch Gu could tell the difference easily.
Patriarch Gu pulled a long face. When he heard that Li Feng wanted to kill Lu Li, his eyes were spitting fire.
When Qian Huanhan finished, Patriarch Gu cupped his fists and said, "Chief, how should we deal with this?
Shanhe did not teach his disciples well. How about we banish him and me? "
"What!"
The Criminal Law Hall was in an uproar. Elder Gu didn't have a good relationship with many elders, and he even became enemies with a few elders.
But when Elder Gu said this, the expressions of the group still changed.
It wouldn't matter if Elder Gu was just an ordinary elder, but Elder Gu was the only Great Divine Craftsman who could refine the Thunder Bringer.
Once Elder Gu left the Artifact Pavilion, it would be a huge loss for the Artifact Pavilion.
If Elder Gu joined a rival crafting sect, it would be a heavy blow to the Artifact Pavilion.
The owner's expression changed slightly. Then, he said with a straight face, "Shanhe, what are you doing?
You don't even trust me? "
The Pavilion Master's last sentence made Jiang Lianxue's father and others' hearts skip a beat. Was the Pavilion Master going to set the tone?
That being said, Patriarch Gu was so determined to protect Qian Huanhan and Lu Li that he was willing to leave the Chamber of Relics.
Even if Lu Li and Qian Huanhan killed some average disciples, the Chief would have to give in, not to mention this.
The Pavilion Master thought for a moment and walked towards the side hall. At the door, he said to Elder Gu, "Shanhe, come in for a moment!"
Patriarch Gu walked in with a gloomy face. Lu Li and Qian Huanhan looked at each other. Both were relieved.
They both knew that they had passed today's test. Even if there were going to be punishments, it would be minor.
Qian Huanhan gave Lu Li a thumbs-up. He was completely convinced by Lu Li's performance today.
If it were not for Lu Li's reminder, Qian Huanhan would not have thought of breaking the jade talisman to warn Patriarch Gu.
If it were Qian Huanhan, he would not have been able to speak so calmly and leave the patriarchs speechless.
Lu Li, on the other hand, wasn't too surprised because he had already seen this coming.
Patriarch Gu valued Lu Li. Once Patriarch Gu made up his mind to protect Lu Li, nobody in the Chamber of Relics would dare to lay a finger on Lu Li.
It was because of this that Lu Li dared to use Lightning Trigger.
He wanted to settle this once and for all. He believed that after this, nobody in the Chamber of Relics would have the guts to trouble him.
Also, if he did not use Lightning Trigger, he could have been seriously injured or even killed by Li Feng.
It was quiet in the hall. The patriarchs were not happy. They looked at Lu Li and Qian Huanhan in a hostile manner.
Lu Li did not mind. He did not rely on the patriarchs to help him. He was not capable enough, so no one could help him.
As long as he was capable, nobody could stop him from ascending to the top.
A moment later, the Pavilion Master and Elder Gu walked out together. Elder Gu's expression became calm as he expressionlessly sat down on a seat.
Chief looked at the patriarchs and said, "Jiang Lianxue and Li Feng were the ones who stirred up trouble. The impact is very negative.
I announce that Jiang Lianxue's status as a core disciple is revoked and she will be grounded for five years.
Li Feng will be grounded for 10 years and Long Yunhai, Long Yunshan, and Long Wentian will be grounded for half a year.
Qian Huanhan will be grounded for three months. Lu Li is at fault as well. He will be grounded for half a year. Inform the entire Chamber of Relics as a warning to others! "
"Um …"
Even though the patriarchs had seen this coming, many found it hard to accept the Chief's announcement.
Jiang Lianxue's status as a core disciple was revoked and she was grounded for five years?
She was at the most impulsive age. She must have lost her mind after being grounded for five years.
More importantly, Long Yunhai and the others did nothing and yet they were grounded for half a year?
Lu Li was grounded for half a year after making such a big mess?
That … was the difference in treatment?
Who was Lu Li?
Long Yunhai was Long Xuesha's grandson. How could he be treated the same as Lu Li?
Many people were confused. Even Long Xuesha was displeased. Jiang Lianxue's father was taken aback. He stood up, bowed and said, "Chief …"
"Say no more!"
Chief waved his hand in a domineering manner and said, "I have made up my mind. Say no more!"
Chief did not mind Jiang Lianxue's father's attitude. He just threw Long Xuesha a glance and winked at him.
Long Xuesha said nothing in the end. He waved his hand and said, "Chief, now that you have made your decision, let's carry it out. Dismissed!"
"Someone ~"
Patriarch Sun of the Hall of Law waved his hand and said, "Bring Jiang Lianxue, Long Yunhai, Lu Li, and Qian Huanhan to the backyard and ground them."
A group of disciples from the Hall of Law came and escorted Jiang Lianxue, Lu Li, and the others away.
Patriarch Gu left without saying anything. The other patriarchs excused themselves. Jiang Lianxue's father felt wronged but he did not dare to disobey the Chief's order. He left in a huff.
The hall, which was originally filled with people, suddenly became empty.
Patriarch Sun went to make arrangements. Only Chief and Long Xuesha were left in the hall.
Chief looked at Long Xuesha and said, "You have spoiled Yun Hai and Yun Shan too much. Let them go through more hardships. It will be better for their growth in the future."
"I know. I am not against it!"
Long Xuesha touched his beard and asked with a frown, "I just don't understand why Lu Li is being punished like this.
Many disciples in the department will not accept this.
Did … Shan He speak up for him? "
"Buzzing ~"
Chief suddenly activated a soundproof Inhibition Formation. His eyes glowed as he said, "Xuesha, this cannot be told to others. Pretend you know nothing after you hear it.
That Lu Li is the real apprentice of Shan He. Qian Huanhan is just a cover. What's more, Lu Li has learned … the Slayer's move! "
"What?"
