Li Tianyuan looked at Qin Zhong below, fell silent for a moment, then said, "Since you have voluntarily confessed, we will handle this according to the rules of the Heavenly Ruins."
"You will immediately be stripped of your Elder status and cast into the Abyss of Demonic Tribulation for one year. Once your term is complete, you will be expelled from the Heavenly Ruins."
"If you are unfortunate enough to die in the Abyss of Demonic Tribulation, then that is your fate."
Thud!
The moment Qin Zhong heard this, he dropped onto the ground on his backside and remained unable to recover his senses for a long while.
Whether he was stripped of his Elder status or expelled from the Heavenly Ruins, both had been entirely within his expectations.
But what he had not expected was that he would also be cast into the Abyss of Demonic Tribulation for a year.
What kind of place was the Abyss of Demonic Tribulation? It was a place that held death-row prisoners and Demonic Beasts.
It contained countless vicious and ferocious creatures, as well as quite a few mortal enemies whom the Elders usually punished.
If he were cast into that place, what kind of situation would he face?
Even a fool could imagine it.
And he would have to stay in there for an entire year.
But he also knew that this was already lenient punishment.
If he had not taken all the blame upon himself in the end, then merely for leaking the secret without authorization, he would have faced a capital crime.
At that thought, he once again felt the urge to kill that idiot Qin Shilong.
At this moment, he truly hated it.
Why had he ended up with a teammate as useless as a pig?
Not far away,
