Grand Elder? Kill him too!

"But that's fine too, now I have no reservations."

Chu Lu twisted his neck fiercely and walked towards the stunned Xiao Yichen.

The latter's face stiffened for a moment, then a hint of disdain appeared, as if he didn't believe Chu Lu would actually dare to kill him.

However, just as Chu Lu swung his sword, intending to show him his resolve, a roar suddenly came from the horizon.

"Stop!"

The moment the sound echoed, several figures arrived at the Disciplinary Hall.

Upon seeing the faces of the figures, the disciples' spirits were instantly lifted.

"It's the Supreme Elders, it's the Supreme Elders!"

"That's great, we're saved now!"

"Six of them! Six Tribulation Stage Supreme Elders. Even the Sect Leader wouldn't dare to act rashly, right?"

"Supreme Elders, arrest the Sect Leader! She's gone mad!"

Amidst the rising cries, the six ancient cultivators with immortal-like appearances looked at the bloodstains in the Disciplinary Hall, their faces ashen.

Seeing this, Chu Lu remained composed, cast aside the weak Xiao Yichen, and asked them, "Why have the six Supreme Elders come? Are you here to sentence me as well?"

The leading Supreme Elder shook his head and said, "We only sensed that the Immortal Locking Array had been broken and rushed over. We don't even know what happened, so how can we pass judgment?"

"I see. Then it's perfect, everyone present is a witness," Chu Lu said. "You'll know once you ask."

The Supreme Elder heard this and looked at Xiao Yichen below, saying, "Elder Xiao, please tell me the reason for all this."

Xiao Yichen nodded and recounted the entire story from beginning to end.

The six Supreme Elders had subtle expressions.

"Well?" Chu Lu asked. "What crime are you going to sentence me with?"

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

"Pay with your life for the Elder of the Disciplinary Hall!"

The disciples were filled with righteous indignation, and Liu Yan'er secretly smiled.

However, the Supreme Elder shook his head and said, "The Sect Leader's actions are understandable. Regardless, Fan Bailu betrayed his master and sect first. The judgment of the three Elders was also unreasonable, clearly influenced by personal feelings. Although the Sect Leader's direct killing is against sect rules, she should still be given a lighter sentence. Guarding the Endless Sea for five years should suffice."

"What?!"

"Tsk, she got off easy."

The disciples looked displeased, and Liu Yan'er's smile also faded.

In contrast, Luo Qingdie, inside Chu Lu, was exceptionally happy.

She said, "Five years? Only five years? Isn't that the same as no punishment! Chu Lu, you're amazing, your plan actually worked."

But Chu Lu's expression remained unchanged. He wasn't a fool like Luo Qingdie and wouldn't be satisfied so easily.

He looked at the six Elders and asked, "A five-year penalty? No problem, I can accept that. But before that, I have a question."

He pointed at Liu Yan'er beside him and asked, "She twisted right and wrong, slandered me with malicious words, what crime should she be punished for?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place erupted in an uproar.

"You're pushing your luck! They've already exempted you from punishment, and you're still being difficult."

"What did little Yan'er do wrong? What crime do you want to punish her for?"

"As expected, you're narrow-minded and jealous of little Yan'er's beauty!"

"Supreme Elders, you must not believe the words of this despicable and shameless scoundrel!"

The disciples were furious.

Liu Yan'er also put on a pitiful act at the right moment, saying, "Sect Leader, you still won't let me go, will you?"

This fanned the flames, and everyone became even angrier.

The Supreme Elder also frowned. He looked at Liu Yan'er, about to issue a heavy punishment to resolve everything.

But at this moment, Liu Yan'er also looked at him. Liu Yan'er's eyes were slightly red, filled with tears, and her gaze conveyed a deep helplessness and confusion, like a wounded deer lost in a dark forest.

The Supreme Elder's heart immediately softened. "Twisting right and wrong is indeed not something a disciple of our sect should do. She shall be punished by facing the wall for a month in the back mountain."

Liu Yan'er said "yes" with a tearful and pitiful expression.

The disciples felt great sympathy, but they also understood that the Supreme Elder had shown leniency, so they merely snorted and said nothing.

But just then, they heard a sentence, a somewhat familiar sentence, spoken by Chu Lu.

"Have the six Elders already decided? Are you not changing your minds?" Chu Lu said leisurely.

The expressions of the disciples immediately became subtle.

They were not only shocked that Chu Lu had not accepted this whitewashed judgment, but also because Chu Lu had said similar words before he violently killed the Elder of the Disciplinary Hall.

"This is already the best possible judgment," the Supreme Elder said with a hint of displeasure. He felt he had already shown Chu Lu enough favoritism and thus thought Chu Lu's question was somewhat ungrateful. "Please, Sect Leader, do not misjudge the situation."

"I understand," Chu Lu nodded. Then, just as the Supreme Elder mistakenly believed Chu Lu had accepted and showed a satisfied expression, he raised his sword and pointed it at the six Supreme Elders, saying, "You avoid the important and skim over the trivial, only thinking of appeasing the situation. You deserve to die!"

Whoosh!

Although the disciples had some vague guesses, they were all shocked to hear Chu Lu say this.

The six Supreme Elders also turned ashen.

"Ignorant fool, utterly ignorant!" the leading Supreme Elder trembled with anger. "It seems you think the punishment you received was too light. Very well! Very well! We shall escort you to the Sword Execution Platform to suffer the torture of skinning and bone scraping!"

"Esteemed Supreme Elders, let's go!"

The six Supreme Elders immediately joined forces. The magic power of six Tribulation Stage cultivators echoed in the Disciplinary Hall. The terrifying pressure was almost suffocating.

The disciples present watched this scene with fervent expressions, cheering him on.

Facing their attack, Chu Lu slowly raised his sword.

Phoenix Arrives!

Swish.

Six heads fell simultaneously, and a spray of blood shot into the sky.

The disciples, who had been cheering wildly moments before, were instantly stunned.

—The Supreme Elders are dead? The Supreme Elders are dead!? Those were six Tribulation Stage cultivators! Just like that? So the Sect Leader... is this powerful? Is the Mahayana Stage... this terrifying?

Then they saw Chu Lu shake the blood off his sword and turn to look at them.

"Next, it's your turn," Chu Lu said expressionlessly. "You've been squawking and cursing over there non-stop. I've found you all displeasing for a long time!"

The disciples' legs went weak from fear. Forget running away; some of them even darkened the color of their pants.

"Enough!" Just then, Xiao Yichen stepped forward, blocking in front of everyone. "Are you done causing trouble?"

His tone was like an adult scolding a crying child.

This made Chu Lu chuckle.

—Seriously, you're only at the Nascent Soul Stage, how can you have such high self-regard? Aren't you afraid I'll chop you down with one sword?

"What if it's enough? What if it's not enough?" Chu Lu asked.

"You don't need to pretend anymore," Xiao Yichen said with disgust. "You acted out of character today, first killing Fan Bailu, then the Third Elder of the Disciplinary Hall, and now six Supreme Elders. I know exactly why you're doing this."

"Oh?" Chu Lu was surprised.
