"So, Chu Tian, Zhong Guang, the two of you who led the insurrection, step outside and receive twenty lashes. Anyone else who offends again will be severely punished."
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian and Zhong Guang didn't even dare to plead for mercy. Why? Because standing before them was Elder Quan, known for his decisive cruelties. Offending him would mean their lives were as worthless as child's play.
They could only clasp their fists and say, "Yes, we accept the punishment!"
At this moment, Elder Quan looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "You are Chen Jiusi?"
Chen Jie said, "I am Chen Jiusi. Greetings to Elder Quan."
Elder Quan chuckled, "Hehehe, you're quite something. You managed to see through our arrangements in Huangzhou Prefecture—you're a real talent."
"But I heard what they said earlier. You've indeed caused our Holy Sect to lose quite a number of our people. This is a grave sin, a crime difficult to atone for, so I'm afraid I can't spare you."
"Ah, Elder Quan."
