#711 - Chapter 711 Undercurrent

Following Zhu Neng's loud shout, countless celestial cranes soared into the night sky, flocking towards the Star River Hall.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Neng brought Qin Shou, his hands bound, to the Star River Hall.

At the same time, the Star River Hall was filled with people.

Cloud Ancestor, various elders, the Head of the Hall of Law Enforcement, and the various Peak Masters.

Even the prominent disciples from each peak had come.

Seeing his most prized disciple being brought into the hall, Qin Wuyi's face instantly darkened.

"You wicked disciple, instead of resting at this late hour, you run off to tryst with someone? Huh? I've lost all my face because of you!"

The Peak Master of the Beast Taming Peak, Qin Wuyi, immediately slapped Qin Shou hard across the face, completely stunning him.

Seeing Qin Wuyi's ferocity, and noticing that half of Qin Shou's face was swollen, the other Peak Masters, forgetting Qin Wuyi's usual sarcasm and mockery, stepped forward to pull Qin Wuyi away.

"What are you doing? You're hitting him without saying a word!"

Qin Shou, however, was awakened by Qin Wuyi's slap.

Previously, he hadn't known what to do or how to exonerate himself.

But Qin Wuyi's slap gave him an idea of how to respond.

Immediately, he struggled to kneel on the ground.

"Thump, thump, thump," he kowtowed, his head and face covered in blood, first kowtowing several times to Qin Wuyi.

He said painfully, "Master, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."

"It's all my fault for being blinded by greed, taking a fancy to a few secret lovers, that's why I snuck out. Please punish me, Master!"

As soon as Qin Shou said this, all the Peak Masters gasped.

"Secret lovers, and several of them?"

Qin Wuyi rolled his eyes, infuriated by Qin Shou's words.

He had seen people who were坑人(pitiful), but never one who was so坑人(pitiful). He was simply the ace of teammates.

Seeing that his master didn't speak, Qin Shou crawled crying towards Zhu Neng.

"Thump, thump, thump," again, several loud kowtows.

"Hall Master, please forgive me, I won't dare to do it again."

Zhu Neng looked at Qin Shou, whose head and face were swollen like a pig's head, and felt no sympathy whatsoever.

Leaving aside the fact that Qin Shou knowingly violated the law by leaving the sect without permission.

Just sneaking out of the sect at night would be secretly investigated, which was also severely punished according to the sect's laws.

Moreover, this secret rendezvous was something Zhu Neng loathed the most.

Therefore, Zhu Neng's eyes showed no emotion when he looked at Qin Shou at this moment, but rather a hint of indifference and coldness.

He calmly withdrew his foot and said, "You should say these words to Cloud Ancestor."

Cloud Ancestor looked at Qin Shou like this, narrowed his eyes, and looked towards Ye Kong, who was standing in the furthest corner.

Ye Kong, with a serious face, nodded slightly towards Cloud Ancestor.

Ye Kong meant that Cloud Ancestor should handle it according to the law, without regard for personal feelings.

Cloud Ancestor understood Ye Kong's meaning, and then looked at the Head of the Hall of Law Enforcement and the Head of the Hall of Discipline beside him.

"According to the Star River Sect's laws, how should he be punished?"

The Head of the Hall of Law Enforcement took a step forward, first bowing slightly to Cloud Ancestor and all the Peak Masters present, and then said.

"According to the sect's laws, knowingly violating the law should be punished with fifty lashes to serve as a warning to others!"

"Secretly meeting with prostitutes should result in the abolition of all cultivation and expulsion from the sect!"

He quickly realized that something was wrong with the whole thing.

No matter what, Qin Shou was Qin Wuyi's direct disciple, so how could he not know the sect's laws?

There was only one possibility, and that was that Qin Shou was doing it on purpose.

Thinking of this, Ye Kong spoke directly.

"Everyone, listen to me, the Immortal Realm is not peaceful right now."

"Expelling Qin Shou from the sect so rashly and heartlessly does not conform to the morality of our Star River Sect."

"Why don't we each take a step back, and Qin Shou will be whipped fifty times and imprisoned in our Star River Sect's Hall of Law Enforcement. What do you think?"

As soon as Ye Kong finished speaking, the most surprised and grateful person was Qin Wuyi.

He really didn't expect Ye Kong to speak up so generously at this time.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Ye Kong."

Ye Kong heard this and said, "Hearing the word 'thank you' from Senior Brother's mouth is really surprising to me."

"But we are brothers, and it is only right to help each other."

The other Peak Masters also felt that what Ye Kong said was very right.

Now that the Sect Master was still missing, they would feel uneasy if something happened to Qin Shou after he left.

Qin Shou originally wanted to take this opportunity to leave the sect directly.

But he didn't expect Ye Kong to suddenly appear.

He immediately shouted, "I don't want to be imprisoned, just expel me from the sect."

"I have made too many mistakes, I have no face to stay here anymore!"

Hearing Qin Shou's words, many people immediately thought that Qin Shou's brain was burnt out.

No one took his words seriously.

Seeing that Ye Kong had said so, Cloud Ancestor immediately spoke.

"Zhu Neng, what are you still standing there for? Execute the punishment!"

Soon, Qin Shou, who was screaming incessantly, was whipped fifty times and dragged to the prison to be locked up.

The chaos caused by Qin Shou came to an end.

But Ye Kong subconsciously felt that this matter was not over.

… …

In another world, there was a restless atmosphere.

The scouts sent by Emperor Luo to the Immortal Realm to gather information had returned one after another.

They had all gathered the same piece of information.

Most of the people in the Immortal Realm had now become like puppet soldiers, with withered appearances and offline consciousness.

"Is the information you have gathered true?"

Emperor Luo looked at the scouts who had returned one after another, and said with a serious face.

Those scouts were almost scared out of their souls by Emperor Luo's roar, and hurriedly said.

"We visited many places. It's all like this."

"It shouldn't be fake!"

"Alright, step down."

Emperor Luo rubbed his eyebrows, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he waved his hand to the crowd.

Seeing Emperor Luo like this, the crowd felt even more fear in their hearts, and immediately did not dare to stay any longer, and quickly retreated from the hall.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Emperor Luo waved his hand and closed the hall door.

He also set up a layer of crystals and formations around the hall, shielding the entire hall within it.

After Mo Di's incident, Emperor Luo no longer trusted anyone.

He began to be careful in everything.

If the previous defeat was so miserable, there must have been a problem with some link under his command.

Otherwise, his strength was not weak, so how could he have been reduced to being beaten by Ye Kong single-handedly?

And be driven by Ye Kong into the Corridor of Time?

Emperor Luo did not consider that the essence of the matter was actually a problem with his own strength, but habitually attributed all the errors to his subordinates.

After thinking about this, Emperor Luo recalled many things.

The first thing Emperor Luo thought of was what happened after Ye Kong returned in the Corridor of Time.

At that time, Emperor Luo still prided himself on being unparalleled in strength, but he was beaten violently by Ye Kong.

After being driven into the Corridor of Time by Ye Kong, what Emperor Luo had been facing was the Time Spirit Dragon.

The Time Spirit Dragon was not as easy to talk to as Ye Kong, and would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

To think that he, the dignified master of heaven and earth, was chased by the Time Spirit Dragon with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.
