Chapter 934: Making meritorious deeds

What caught Zhou Yiqiao's eyes was his master, Taoist White Bones, three senior brothers and sisters, as well as many senior officials of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

They all gathered around Zhou Yiqiao's bed, but each one's expression was different.

The face of the White Bone Taoist Master was solemn, and there seemed to be a deep worry hidden between his brows.

His eyes fell on Zhou Yiqiao from time to time, as if looking for some clues.

The three brothers and sisters looked concerned. They stood or sat, but their eyes never left Zhou Yiqiao, as if they were waiting for the moment he woke up.

The other senior leaders of Netherworld Demon Sect have their own thoughts.

Their faces may show doubts, some may show a bit of anger, or may hide deep worries.

The atmosphere in the whole room seemed a bit heavy, as if there was an invisible pressure weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

"Junior brother, you finally woke up."

When Fourth Senior Brother Shen Kuo saw Zhou Yiqiao open his eyes, he immediately stepped forward with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao looked at everything around him in confusion. He remembered that he was obviously unconscious near the ghost market, so how could he return to the Nether Demon Sect in the blink of an eye?

He tried to get up, but found that his body was extremely weak. His whole body was riddled with holes and there was not a single piece of good flesh.

"Master, I...what's wrong with me?"

Zhou Yiqiao's voice was a little hoarse. He instinctively looked at Taoist White Bones, hoping to get an answer from him.

Upon hearing Zhou Yiqiao's question, White Bone Taoist Master's expression immediately darkened.

He snorted coldly, turned his head away from Zhou Yiqiao, and just said coldly.

"You kid is really good at causing trouble, and you caused a huge trouble for our Netherworld Demon Sect!"

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, his heart trembled, and he probed cautiously.

"I wonder what my disciple did wrong to make Master unhappy?"

It didn't matter if Zhou Yiqiao didn't ask. When asked, Taoist White Bones became even more furious.

He slammed the bed and shouted sharply.

"Do you know, kid, that a few years ago, you went crazy while practicing Kung Fu? The inner demon took advantage of you and slaughtered countless monks near the Ghost Mist Forest!?"

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he froze on the spot.

"This...how is this possible?"

Zhou Yiqiao murmured to himself, his face full of disbelief.

"The disciple only remembers that he killed a casual cultivator who peeped at the disciple's martial arts fight, and fell into a coma. He did not remember that he had killed the cultivator."

Zhou Yiqiao tried his best to recall everything before he fell into coma, but except for the scene of killing the casual cultivator, his mind was blank.

Seeing that Zhou Yiqiao didn't seem to be faking it, Taoist White Bones frowned slightly and felt a little doubtful in his heart.

Although he hated iron, Zhou Yiqiao was his direct disciple after all, so he naturally didn't want to wrong him.

"Hmph, see for yourself, these are all the damage you have caused near the Ghostly Mist Forest over the years!"

The Bone Taoist waved his hand, a flash of spiritual light flashed, and a jade slip was dropped on Zhou Yiqiao's chest.

Zhou Yiqiao raised his hand with difficulty, took the jade slip in his hand, and with a thought, he searched for its contents.

What is recorded in the jade slips is a section of records after Zhou Yiqiao caused damage around the Ghost Mist Forest. It is also mixed with descriptions of Zhou Yiqiao's clothing by extreme eyewitnesses.

After reading all the contents in the jade slip, Zhou Yiqiao's face became extremely pale. His hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh, but he felt no pain.

The descriptions in those records were exactly the same as his usual attire, and the traces of destruction were indeed caused by his skills.

It's not that Zhou Yiqiao suddenly became kind-hearted because of what he did, but he clearly knew that what he did had caused a lot of losses to the Demon Sect and he would definitely be severely punished by the Demon Sect.

He just wasn't willing to accept that his many years of management in the Netherworld Demon Sect and even the Netherworld Demon Territory would be ruined because of something he didn't even know about.

"What else do you have to say?"

Taoist White Bones looked at Zhou Yiqiao's pale face and felt a little unbearable.

But things have happened, and he must give an explanation to the entire Nether Demon Sect.

Zhou Yiqiao was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head, looked at Taoist White Bones, and said in a deep voice.

"This disciple has nothing to say and is willing to accept any punishment."

When White Bone Taoist Master heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He naturally knew Zhou Yiqiao's status and influence in the Nether Demon Sect, but this matter had attracted the attention of other forces, and he had to set an example and give everyone an explanation.

"I am just an elder, so I am not qualified to punish you."

The White-bone Taoist Master sighed, turned his head towards Tuoba Qingshan, who had been sitting aside and showed no sign of joy or anger, and cupped his hands.

"Please give me some instructions, Sect Master."

Hearing the words of Taoist White Bones, Tuoba Qingshan did not hesitate at all and only gave instructions lightly.

"According to the rules of the Demon Sect, if you harm the interests of the sect, you should abolish your cultivation and be expelled from the sect."

As soon as Tuoba Qingshan said these words, the whole room fell into a dead silence.

According to the previous rules of the Demon Sect, as a core disciple of the sect, even if Zhou Yiqiao made a mistake, he would only be severely punished at most, and would not be expelled from the sect without losing his cultivation.

But this time, Tuoba Qingshan directly followed the strictest sect rules and obviously did not show any mercy to Zhou Yiqiao.

If the disciple who caused the big trouble was someone else, everyone would definitely think that Tuoba Qingshan had stirred up a real fire, but now it was Zhou Yiqiao who caused the trouble, but everyone had their own ideas in their minds.

No one dared to speak easily before they were sure whether Tuoba Qingshan really wanted to expel Zhou Yiqiao from his school or had ulterior motives.

Of course, others could remain silent, but Zhou Yiqiao needed to respond immediately.

With Shen Kuo's support, Zhou Yiqiao slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Tuoba Qingshan.

"Disciple, accept your punishment."

Although his voice was a little weak, it was extremely firm.

Tuoba Qingshan looked at Zhou Yiqiao's determined look and felt extremely satisfied.

He stretched out his hand to help Zhou Yiqiao up, and finally a smile appeared in his eyes.

"This time you not only caused huge losses to the Demon Sect, but also damaged the Demon Sect's face. Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with my punishment."

"But in the past, you made great contributions to the sect, so I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"Dedicate your crime to meritorious service?"

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned when he heard this.

He raised his head and looked at Tuoba Qingshan, his eyes full of doubts.

"Please give me a clear explanation, Sect Master."

Tuoba Qingshan nodded slightly and said calmly.

"I want you to represent the Netherworld Demon Sect and go to the Holy Land of Central Continent and serve as a proton at Qinjian Villa!"
