The Heavenly Emperor Sect's rules had always been very strict. This was also the reason why the Heavenly Emperor Sect was able to prosper.
Before the death of the past Sect Patriarchs, they would pass down their position to the next Sect Patriarch. The rules of the sect couldn't be messed up. Otherwise, the foundation of the Celestial Emperor Sect would be unstable.
Decline after prosperity!
This was a vicious circle that many clans and sects couldn't jump out of. The Celestial Emperor Sect and the Saintess Sect were exceptions.
The Celestial Emperor Sect had strict sect rules while the Female Sage Sect had never been able to surpass the Celestial Emperor Sect. Therefore, groups of crazy old ladies had been fighting for this obsession.
When a sect reaches its peak, it will naturally have a feeling of being the world's number one and invincible.
Their mentality would also become inflated and complacent, and they would also feel that they were the rulers of this world.
Since they were Sovereigns, it was impossible for anyone to go against their will. If they did, they would be enraged, and would do something wrong.
They would never find the reason for anything that happened to them. They would always vent their anger on others.
You're number one in the world. Ordinary sects can't afford to offend you. They can only swallow their anger.
In the long run, this sect would offend more and more powers. Once an opportunity appeared, this sect would discover that they had become the enemy of the entire world, and countless powers would band together to attack them.
The Celestial Emperor Sect was very strong and any sect could sweep through them.
However, if all the major forces in the Endless God Ruins joined forces to attack them, they would definitely not be able to withstand it. When that time came, the Celestial Thearch Sect would be completely annihilated, and their name would be erased from the Endless God Ruins.
Therefore, the rules of the sect became very important!
Without rules, nothing could be accomplished. There were simply too many experts in the Heavenly Emperor Sect. If you went out and killed as you please, I would go out and create some trouble. The Heavenly Emperor Sect would have enemies everywhere.
Therefore, the rules of the Heavenly Emperor Sect had always been very strict. Anyone who made a mistake would be severely punished.
There were even instances of emperor-ranked experts of the Heavenly Emperor Sect being executed.
Only strict sect rules could restrain the experts and disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect and prevent them from acting recklessly.
This was the only way to protect the Celestial Emperor Sect's foundation and ensure that the sect would continue to prosper.
Lu Li's matter was actually not a big deal. If Lu Li had just sneaked out and did not cause any trouble, the Sect would at most punish him lightly.
The problem was that Lu Li had stirred up so much trouble that the entire Endless Ruins of Gods knew about it.
Moreover, he had said at the Hua Yang Discourse of Dao that he had snuck out on his own.
The Heavenly Emperor Sect's upper echelons had already sent word that they wouldn't be participating in the Hua Yang Dao Discussion.
What was the meaning of Lu Li's participation?
He was looking down on the higher-ups of the sect. If Lu Li was humiliated at the Conference of Dao in Hua Yang, then not only would he be humiliated, but the entire Heaven Emperor Sect would be humiliated.
What was more, Lu Li dared to take her away?
Use the Empress Peak to force the Saintly Sect to submit?
This could easily trigger a war between the Female Sage Sect and the Heavenly Emperor Sect.
Lu Li had done a good job. He won first place in the Hua Yang Forum and made the Heaven Emperor Sect proud.
He had even suppressed the Female Saintly Sect, forcing them to yield. This made many old fellows feel very comfortable.
But rules were rules. No matter what the outcome was, what Lu Li did was wrong!
Lu Li had done a good job. If he had not done a good job and Lu Li had not cultivated source energy, how could Lord Li go?
The Celestial Emperor Sect would send out a notice to expel Lu Li from the Celestial Emperor Sect. They might even send someone from the Hall of Law Enforcement to kill Lu Li.
Reality was cruel. Everything had to be based on interests!
However, theoretically speaking, Lu Li's merits should be balanced out. What was more, Lu Li had cultivated source energy at the Fifth Tribulation Realm. He was a genius. Shouldn't they cultivate him and rope him in?
Why was he given such a heavy punishment?
None of the disciples could figure it out. But this was undoubtedly a wake-up call for the disciples.
Lu Li had earned a lot of reputation for the sect and yet he was being punished so harshly. If they dared to mess around, wouldn't they be expelled from the sect directly?
Lu Li did not know where the Inferno Region was. But judging from the gasps outside, it was not a good place. It did not matter where he was going. What mattered was 10,000 years.
It was too long. He could not stand it.
Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong were at the Wang Family. Were they supposed to cultivate in the Wang Family for 10,000 years?
"What?
You don't agree? "Master of the Hall of Law Enforcement said coldly, seeing that Lu Li wanted to say something.
Lu Li was about to say something when he saw Emperor Rui giving him a stern look. It was as if he was telling Lu Li to accept.
Lu Li bowed and said, "I do. I accept the punishment from the sect!"
"Good. Off you go. Go to the Inferno Region by yourself in three days!"
Master of the Hall of Law waved his hand. Lu Li left at once. Many disciples looked at him with sympathy.
In 10,000 years, Lu Li would be an old man when he came out. He was in the prime of his life now. How could he have to endure endless torment and torture?
Many people were worried that Lu Li would lose his mind in there.
The Inferno Region was one of the most horrifying places owned by the Celestial Emperor Sect. It was no different from hell.
Many disciples would be locked up in the Inferno Region after they committed serious crimes. There was once an Emperor Realm warrior who died 30,000 years later …
Therefore, the disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect were afraid of the Inferno Region from the bottom of their hearts.
Lu Li was one of the most famous disciples. He could cultivate source energy at the Fifth Tribulation Realm. It would be easy for him to reach the Emperor Realm. It was possible that he could reach the Saint King Realm in the future.
Shouldn't someone like him be the treasure of the sect?
The Master was so cruel. What if Lu Li died in there?
Wouldn't that be a great loss for the sect?
Lu Li went back to the Rui Fort on his own. He knew that Emperor Rui would come back soon and give him an explanation.
Lu Li believed that the sect would not be so cruel. The Master must have something else in mind.
Not long afterward, Emperor Rui came in. He activated the Divine Glyphs and sat on the main seat.
Lu Li poured tea for Emperor Rui at once and looked at him nervously.
"Are you afraid now?
Afraid of dying in the Inferno Region? "Emperor Rui threw Lu Li a glance.
"Of course I am!"
Lu Li smiled embarrassedly and explained, "It's just that it has been a long time, 10,000 years … My sister and my wife are still at the Wang Family."
"Don't worry about them."
Emperor Rui waved his hand and said, "I will send a message to the Wang Family and tell them to cultivate at the Wang Family.
Do you know why the Master is giving you such a severe punishment? "
Lu Li had some guesses. He asked tentatively, "Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys?"
"That is part of the reason!"
Emperor Rui sighed and said, "Recently, people are getting impatient. Many disciples are not happy with the Holy Lady Sect. Last time, some disciples with black badges begged the Master to let them fight. The Master is trying to use you to suppress them.
Of course … more than anything, the Master wants to protect you. "
"Protect me?" Lu Li touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "To protect me, I don't have to be locked up for 10,000 years, right?"
"10,000 years is just a declaration!"
Emperor Rui clearly knew some inside information. Or … the Master told him to appease Lu Li?
