Within Golden Ao Island, Biyou Palace.
Eight people, Duobao, Jin Ling, Wudang, Gui Ling, Three Xiaos, and Zhao Gongming, stood at the foot of the steps, all with solemn expressions and not daring to raise their heads.
In front of them, there were piles of jade slips.
Sect Master Tongtian stood in front of the case, with his back to everyone, and had been silent for a long time.
Finally, he turned around slowly, his face expressionless at the moment, and his eyes swept over the long case. "How much?"
Daoist Duobao looked complicated and spoke with difficulty, "Reporting to Master... After preliminary investigation, a total of 4,372 people were recorded..."
"Four thousand three hundred and seventy-two..." Tongtian repeated the number, "I, Jie Sect Disciple, including my registered disciples and grandchildren, have a total of nineteen thousand six hundred and forty-three."
"Four thousand three hundred and seventy-two... this means that one out of every five people..."
Nothing more to say later.
Duobao They didn't dare to speak either.
Jin Ling couldn't help but take a step forward. "Master, these are just the results of the preliminary investigation. There may be some misunderstandings and some insufficient evidence..."
"Misunderstanding?" Tongtian looked at her, "Jin Ling, don't excuse them!"
Tongtian laughed bleakly, "The dignified Jie Sect Disciple kills people to seize treasures outside, bullies fellow disciples, has fornications with foreign teachers, and is greedy for resources... But I, your master, Jie Sect Leader, know nothing about it."
"Master," Duobao took a step forward, "Although there are many people, it is not a bad thing for me, Interception Sect. At least, we know who is ruining Interception Sect's reputation. Taking this opportunity to clean up the family will avoid future troubles!"
Wudang also echoed, "Master, it's not too late to remedy the situation. It's better to find out now than later."
"Yes, Master!" Gui Ling burst into tears, "Interception Sect still has many good disciples! After we clean up these scum, Interception Sect will definitely be able to rise from the ashes!"
Three Xiao Sisters and Zhao Gongming both knelt down. "Master, please cheer up!"
Tongtian looked at the disciple who was kneeling on the ground. He slowly walked to the long desk and reached out to pick up the top jade slip.
There is a record of the crime of Leopard Demon.
In three hundred years, he killed seventeen casual cultivators, seized twenty-three treasures, bullied his fellow disciples nine times, and had an affair with Western Teachings!
Picked up another silk book.
A Fish Spirit, relying on the name Interception Sect, extorts monks from the East China Sea. Anyone who refuses to comply will be falsely accused of being evil and surrounded and killed...
A Tree Demon embezzled the sect's elixir resources, resold them, and enriched his own pockets.
One part, two parts, ten parts, one hundred parts...
Tongtian The faster I look, the paler my face becomes.
Murder, treasure grabbing, oppression, betrayal... one after another, each one is shocking.
"Crack!"
Tongtian The jade slip in his hand shattered and turned into powder.
He closed his eyes and raised his head. After a long while, he slowly said, "You are right... it's time to clean up."
Early morning three days later.
Golden Ao Island The largest square was crowded with people.
All Jie Sect Disciple, all present.
Sect Master Tongtian came through the air and landed on the high platform.
He didn't speak, but quietly looked at the thousands of disciples below.
After a long time, he spoke, and his voice spread throughout the island:
"Since Interception Sect was founded, it has taken countless years to reach its current situation."
His voice was calm.
"I, Tongtian, recruit disciples and teach without distinction. No matter you are born with a natural talent or acquired, no matter you are born noble or humble, as long as your heart is Great Dao, I will teach you the method and teach you the true inheritance."
Tongtian's voice trembled slightly. "I thought that if I treat you with sincerity, you will treat me with sincerity."
He paused, and his voice suddenly turned cold. "But some people worship Interception Sect not to seek enlightenment, but to do convenient things in the name of the Interception Sect."
"Some people are respectful on the surface, but secretly they are doing things like killing people, seizing treasures, and bullying their fellow students."
"Some people, relying on the Interception Sect's momentum, are domineering outside and ruining the reputation of our religion!"
Tongtian's eyes became colder and colder.
"Today, I'm going to show you what these people have done!"
He raised his hand and waved, and a huge Water Mirror appeared above the high platform.
The light and shadow in the mirror flowed, and scenes began to emerge.
On the coast of the East China Sea, several Jie Sect Disciple besieged and killed a casual cultivator, seized his magic weapon and then destroyed his corpse.
On a certain mountain peak, a disciple bullied a new little demon and forced him to hand over all his training resources.
On the edge of the island, two disciples secretly communicated with the outside world, and the content involved Interception Sect internal information.
One after another, each piece is the evidence collected by Duobao and others during the investigation. At this moment, under the guidance of the saint Supernatural Power, it has been restored to its original form!
In the square, exclamations, curses, and cries mingled together.
"How shameless! Bullying a fellow student!"
"This person is not called Jie Sect Disciple!"
Some of the victims in the pictures were at the scene. Seeing the truth reappear at this moment, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
"This... isn't this Junior Brother Lu Quan?"
Some of the perpetrators were pale, some were trembling, and some had hatred flashing in their eyes.
"Quiet!" Tongtian shouted coldly, Saintly Might pressed down, and the whole place fell silent.
He took out a roll of roster and slowly unfolded it.
"Now, anyone whose name I have read, come forward."
"Bao Li."
In the crowd, a leopard-headed monk trembled all over and fell to his knees. "Master, please forgive me! I know my mistake! I know my mistake!"
Tongtian didn't even look at him and continued to read, "Yu Sanniang."
The woman screamed, "It's unfair, Master! This is a false accusation! Someone wants to harm me!"
In the square, there were cries, begging for mercy, and curses.
Tongtian put down the roster, looked down, and sounded like eternal ice:
"Those who harm fellow disciples will die."
"Kill innocent people indiscriminately and die."
"Anyone who has an affair with a foreign teacher or betrays his master will die."
"Those who use their power to bully others and ruin their reputation will have their cultivation ruined and be expelled from the school."
He paused and added, "Today, the crime will be increased to one level. All those whose crimes are proven to be guilty will be executed on the spot. Those who deserve to have their cultivation level revoked will be expelled from the Interception Sect and will never be allowed to set foot again!"
"Master, have mercy!"
"Spare your life, Master!"
"We made a mistake! Give us another chance!"
For a while, those disciples kept begging for mercy.
Tongtian had no expression on his face and raised his hand.
A flash of blue light flashed, and the dozens of disciples in the front row who had committed the most heinous crimes did not even have time to scream, before they turned into flying ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Both body and soul are destroyed!
Then, the second wave, the third wave...
The power of the saint is so terrifying.
Tongtian With just one thought, those disciples were wiped out like ants.
Not long after, nearly a thousand people disappeared from the square.
Most of the remaining criminals did not commit crimes that led to death, but they still had to bear punishment.
Tongtian personally took action to abolish their cultivation, and then swept them all out of Golden Ao Island with a wave of his hand and threw them outside the East China Sea.
From now on, they will no longer be Jie Sect Disciple, they will live and die in Primordial Wilderness.
After doing all this, Tongtian stood on the high platform and looked at the remaining disciples below.
The disciples all looked pale, and some of them were still trembling.
"What happened today should be taken as a warning." Tongtian said slowly, "When you join me, Interception Sect, you are cultivating Great Dao, and you are practicing the right path. If anyone dares to do evil again based on the Interception Sect's reputation..."
A cold light flashed in his eyes. "Those people just now are role models."
"Effective today, the new rules for the Interception Sect are as follows:"
"First, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Violators will die."
"Second, you are not allowed to bully your fellow disciples. Anyone who violates this rule will have his or her cultivation ruined."
"Third, you are not allowed to have any affair with foreign teachers. Violators will be punished with death."
"Fourth, you are not allowed to covet the resources within the Mo Sect. Anyone who violates this will be repaid tenfold and their cultivation will be ruined."
"Fifth..."
Line by line, paragraph by paragraph, detailed and strict.
This is a new rule formulated by Tongtian in seclusion for three days and based on the current situation of the Interception Sect. The purpose is to prevent the recurrence of what happened today.
When he finished speaking, Tongtian looked at the disciple below and said, "Interception Sect, this is our home. I hope that from now on, there will be only brothers and sisters in this home, and no scum and moths."
"You... can do it?"
After a brief silence, a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami sounded:
"Yes!"
"Follow Master's teachings!"
"Interception Sect lives forever!"
Tongtian looked at this scene, and finally there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
"Chang Er! Follow me to the palace."
Suddenly, Tongtian looked at Chang Er behind him and said to him.
"Ah? It's... Master!"
Chang Er had a bad premonition and wanted to escape, but at this moment, he had no chance.
