Big Bodhi

Chapter 101: Face!

“How dare this person flout the sect rules so blatantly!”

“Which mountain peak does that disciple belong to? How dare he kill a disciple so wantonly in Wangxing peak in front of the public!”

Many of the disciples who had just rushed over raged. Looking at Xu Xiao who was standing with a sword, they were surprised and shocked.

Under the previous disciple’s explanation, these disciples came to know that the person who made the move was actually Ji Yuenian’s Deputy General.

Xu Xiao put away the spiritual weapon, looked around with no fear on his face, and said coldly, "This person had been demoted by me to be a handyman disciple, and his status was low. Even if I kill him for no reason, at most, I will only be punished with some primeval stones. It is far from violating the sect’s rules."

A disciple of Wangxing peak who was on good terms with the dead person, felt extremely upset at that moment, and boldly said, “But you have not yet passed the approval with the peak master’s hall. It doesn’t really count!”

Xu Xiao smiled coldly, glanced at the disciple with a stern look, took out the Deputy General token again, and said, “From now on, you have also been demoted to a handyman disciple by me. Hand over spiritual treasures, pills, primeval stones and other things without fail.”

All the disciples in Wangxing peak fell silent, completely shocked by Xu Xiao, and did not dare to say a word at will.

Among these disciples were two General Disciples, one of whom was on duty in the main hall of the peak. With his cold eyes, he took a step forward, clasped his hands towards Ji Yuenian, and said, “Fellow juniors, Senior Brother Ji, the fact that the Deputy General demoted the two of them as handyman disciples has passed the review of the main palace of Xingyuan Peak, and I, Yanming, can vouch for it.”

There was almost no reason why these General Disciples shouldn’t be on good terms, not to mention that Ji Yuenian rarely interacted with the General Disciples in the three courtyards, so this was a great opportunity to cling to him.

Although General Disciples had great power, they weren’t supposed to abused. It was fine to use it to frighten disciples in order to gain benefits. If they continued to punish disciples without reason, they would definitely be severely punished by Xingyuan Peak.

But now, Xu Xiao only relegated two disciples, and behind him was Ji Yuenian, who had a great momentum, so naturally no one dared to say anything more.

Most of the Deputy General disciples would not be like Xu Xiao, who would do things unreasonably, leaving no way out for anyone.

Ji Yuenian flicked his sleeves and said to Xu Xiao, “Zhan Ming’s position as Deputy General is hereby voided. From then on, I will hand over my authority to you and Junior Brother Lu, and you can handle everything as you like without consulting me.”

Lu Mingxi and Xu Xiao both bowed their heads and saluted, “Yes, Senior Brother Ji.”

Yan Ming saw that Ji Yuenian had turned around to return to the Star Tracing Courtyard, and said to the surrounding disciples, “Go back to your own courtyards, what are you all standing here for!?”

"Senior Brother Yan, help me!" The second person from Wangxing peak who was demoted by Xu Xiao was kneeling on the ground, looking hopefully at Yan Ming.

Yan Ming glanced at him, and said, "You have been a disciple at the Late Stage of Xuan Realm for many years, why don’t you understand the truths that misfortune comes from your mouth?"

After finishing saying his piece, he turned around and left the Star Tracing Courtyard without even greeting Xu Xiao and Lu Mingxi.

The rotating disciples in the main hall of the peak were of great importance, except for Ji Yuenian, these disciples had never been regarded by Yan Ming at all.josei

It was just that he didn’t know Lu Mingxi’s identity and background, otherwise he would’ve put on another face.

Xu Xiao looked down at the disciple who was kneeling on the ground, snorted coldly, and said, "Hand over all your stored spiritual weapons, and you can go to Shenxing peak."

The reason this disciple was not killed was because Lu Mingxi was secretly shaking his head towards him.

When only Lu Mingxi and Xu Xiao were left outside the Star Tracing Courtyard, Xu Xiao asked, "Brother Lu, why did you stop me from beheading him?"

Lu Mingxi sighed, and said: "When you first served as Deputy General, you didn’t understand the details of this at all. Although a Deputy General disciple has great powers, it also has many restrictions. If the matter of you demoting the disciples of the foreign peaks fails to pass the review of the main hall of the peak, the right to relegation will be voided."

Xu Xiao frowned for a while, and gradually figured out the mystery, and slowly said, "I see, the reason why Yan Ming broke the usual regulations just now and directly stated here that it passed the review was for Brother Ji’s sake. Although Senior Brother Ji delegated power to us, we cannot abuse our power like Zhan Ming, otherwise..."

Lu Mingxi glanced at him appreciatively, and said, "I got some news recently, take a look."

After saying this, he directly took out a jade slip and handed it to Xu Xiao.

Xu Xiao took the jade slip, and the more he looked at it, the uglier his face became. In the end, he directly crushed the fragile jade slip into pieces!

"Zhan Ming has been so greedy during the days when he was the Deputy General!"

Lu Mingxi smiled wryly and said, "That’s right, I haven’t dared to report this matter to Senior Brother Ji until now. Zhan Ming has relegated nine disciples from the Outer Sect during this period, and the main hall of the peak has passed the review in the name of Senior Brother Ji. Zhan Ming became more and more arrogant. He even relied on his position as a Deputy to bully and threaten many disciples in the Star Court, and up to now, his profit has approached two hundred primeval stones!"

Xu Xiao glanced at the Xingxing courtyard behind him, and said, "Senior Brother Ji has just gone to Zhan Ming, why hasn’t Senior Brother Lu reported this matter?"

Lu Mingxi was a little speechless, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, Zhan Ming has offended many people during this period, and without Brother Ji’s protection, his fate will not be so good, don’t worry about him."

Lu Mingxi was ashamed to reveal the real reason.

Zhan Ming was the one who brought him to the Star Tracing Courtyard, and even asked for a post as a Deputy for him, but Zhan Ming was so greedy that he prompted complaints from all the disciples in the Wanxing Court, making Lu Mingxi lose all face.

Xu Xiao looked at Lu Mingxi’s expression, and he felt a little strange, made some guesses, but he didn’t ask ignorantly.

"I’ll leave as well. Senior Brother Ji will go to the ancient city to observe the ceremony in a few days, but my cultivation can’t be left behind." Lu Mingxi called Qingluan, who was not far away, and looked at Xu Xiao. "Junior Brother Xu, I will send you back to Eclipse Moon Peak."

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

...

Star Tracing Court, Star Gazing Jade Seat.

Ji Yuenian gently waved his sleeves, and several objects of different sizes appeared in front of him one by one.

The core jade talisman of Daoist inheritance of Daoyan Temple.

Shengzong punished Shen Xuedi for the small jade talisman obtained by the earth god.

There was also a three-foot wooden sword that exuded an incomparably rich bloodline power.n"
