"Someone, bury it."
The head of the Dongfang Family spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, clearly disappointed and saddened by Jin Renfeng's current state.
After all, he had watched his disciple grow up. Even if it were a dog, you would develop feelings for it after raising it for several years.
The disciples who were eavesdropping and watching outside were trembling with fear. Most of them did not know the whole story, while a few guessed some of it and began to think about escaping from the Divine Fire Manor.
Jin Renfeng's meridians were destroyed by the head of the Dongfang Family, his experience was shattered, and he ultimately died from a shattered heart meridian. Xiao Tian, who could see through the Byakugan, knew exactly how Jin Renfeng died.
"Does burying the body mean we can't do anything?" Xiao Tian thought of Black Fox and felt that cremation was necessary.
Jin Renfeng's body was carried away by several disciples and buried in a random field outside the manor.
The Shadow Clone, which had been waiting in the Kamui Dimension, learned the location of Jin Renfeng's burial site through the Kamui tracking system. Taking advantage of the departure of several disciples of the Divine Fire Family, it secretly destroyed Jin Renfeng's body to cover up the crime.
Inside the council hall, the head of the Dongfang Family looked much older. He summoned all the disciples of the Divine Fire Family. Important members gathered in the hall, while many other disciples stood ramrod straight outside in military formation, awaiting instructions.
"Today, something outrageous happened at our Divine Fire Manor! Although it is shameful and I am deeply saddened, everyone still has the right to know!"
"As some of my disciples have seen, your former Grandmaster Jin Renfeng, my first disciple, was killed by my own hands!"
The elders and disciples were all in an uproar, their faces filled with shock!
Of course, some guys don't need to act; they all know perfectly well what's going on.
The head of the Dongfang Family glanced at the elders and several disciples with decent talent in the hall, and said in a deep voice, "From this day forward, Jin Renfeng will no longer be a disciple of our Divine Fire Manor, and is expelled from the sect!"
"From this day forward, Divine Fire Manor shall be cleansed. Those who were once the leaders of Jin Renfeng's disciples should voluntarily leave the mountain! Don't force this old man to purge his own sect!"
For a moment, inside and outside the hall, many disciples looked at each other, none daring to move.
Life at the Divine Fire Manor was so wonderful, but after descending the mountain, it was truly a fall from the clouds to the Netherworld.
"Three minutes! Come out on your own, go to the storeroom and collect five taels of silver, then leave!" the head of the Dongfang Family shouted again.
The matter of Jin Renfeng made him uneasy, and he needed to strengthen control over the Divine Fire Family. Unfortunately, the Leech Spirit was not captured, which made him want to exterminate the Leech Spirit.
The head of the Dongfang Family was adamant, and some disciples with guilty consciences quietly turned and left, fearing they would be found out and executed.
"May I ask the patriarch, what crime has Jin Renfeng committed?" an elder asked, puzzled.
"Oh ho, you old codger, no need to pretend anymore." Xiao Tian curled his lip and glanced at the red-haired elder.
" Xiao Tian! What nonsense are you spouting!" The elder's eyes widened in fury.
" Elder Leng, take three hundred taels from the treasury and go down the mountain," the Dongfang Family head said coldly.
"Master! What have I done wrong? You mustn't slander an innocent person!"
" Elder Leng, although you were unaware of Jin Renfeng's actions, you kept telling Jin Renfeng my whereabouts, making you an accomplice. Considering your contributions to the Divine Fire Manor, don't force me to take action." The head of the Dongfang Family, his hair flying, unleashed the Demon-Slaying Divine Flame.
"Patriarch, you!" Elder Leng and turned away.
On this day, a small portion of the disciples of the Divine Fire Manor left, along with two elders. It was a case of giving a stick and then a sweet date.
To stabilize the morale of the disciples of the Divine Fire Manor, Xiao Tian handed over several Fire Release techniques to the head of the Dongfang Family. The head of the Dongfang Family then passed on some of these techniques to a large number of disciples, and those with higher cultivation levels could learn all of the Fire Release techniques.
