Before his death, Lu Ling only fought with Gu Xi, and Gu Xi did cut off one of Lu Ling's arms.

At present, it is unclear whether his death was caused by the invasion of demonic insects that devoured his internal organs, or because of Gu Xi. Everyone knows this.

Then Yan Youdao lowered his voice and said, "For this matter, there were only two of them present. It is difficult to find out the truth without evidence. It is indeed difficult for Gu Xi to clear his suspicion for Lu Ling's death."

"Of course, those who have made mistakes should be punished, but as for the punishment of heavenly thunder proposed by Elder Gu, nine strikes are indeed too heavy for a Jindan stage cultivator."

After that, he didn't care about everyone's reaction and made a prompt decision: "Gu Xi accidentally injured a fellow disciple, and he will be punished with five heavenly thunders and confined to the cliff for two years."

Although the punishment of the five heavenly thunders is not fatal to the Jindan stage, it will cause serious injuries. It will be difficult to continue practicing without resting for two or three months.

"Elder Gu, is this enough?"

After arguing for so long, this was the result, and Gu Huailiang was still dissatisfied.

As expected, the leader was still more partial to Yuanchu, which did not achieve the result he wanted.

But he knew in his heart that this was probably the biggest concession Yan Youdao had ever made.

I'm afraid that going forward will not lead to any results. After all, Yuanchu is determined to protect her evil disciple.

Finally, he lowered his thick and sharp eyebrows, hiding his thoughts, "Then, let's follow the master's words."

Before Yuanchu could say anything to stop him, he saw Gu Xi bowing and then said calmly, "Yes, disciple is willing to be punished."

Gu Xi didn't want to make Yuan Chu embarrassed anymore, but Gu Huailiang refused to let go.

If I am not severely punished, it will be difficult to stop the gossips and it will be even more difficult for my master.

She is no longer a child who can only be protected by her master. In the future, she will be her Taoist partner and should be able to stand on her own.

Yuanchu was stunned for a moment. What was this stupid disciple doing?

The punishment of heavenly thunder is no joke, isn't she just fooling around? !

In her previous life, Gu Xi was punished by heavenly thunder, which severely damaged her meridians. She could no longer continue to practice, and was then thrown into the Demon Valley, where she fell into the path of evil.

Yuanchu didn't care about anything else and said in a hurry: "Master, the truth of this matter is unclear and there is no conclusion yet. How can you make such a hasty decision?"

"I have already made up my mind, there is no need to say more. Since Elder Gu has also agreed, after the execution, the matter will be dropped, and no one can mention it again in the future." Yan Youdao's old voice was loud and clear, and seemed beyond doubt.

Can't escape the fate of the previous life? Will the original story repeat itself?

Yuanchu sighed in her heart, she knew that Yan Youdao, as the head of the sect, also had his own difficulties.

But she didn't want Gu Xi to suffer this humiliation, nor did she want to wrong her.

She didn't kill the man at all, but she is putting all the blame on him. It's really too much.

Yuan Chu suddenly felt that she was still too weak. In the face of absolute strength, she could not protect Gu Xi at all.

But no matter what, she couldn't let Gu Xi suffer such torture. She was terribly afraid that Gu Xi wouldn't be able to bear it and would end up like in the previous life.

What's more, Gu Xi is the person she holds in her heart, and she doesn't want anyone to hurt her.

My cultivation is currently higher than hers, which is always better.

Then she made up her mind and said with a stern expression: "If the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's fault. As Gu Xi's master, it is my fault that she made a mistake. I have taken these few punishments of heavenly thunder for her. Will this satisfy Elder Gu?"

Gu Huailiang's sinister and vicious gaze paused for a moment. He did not expect Yuan Chu to go to this extent for a Jindan disciple.

The punishment of heavenly thunder was not something that could be endured at will. Even if she was in the state of distraction, it would probably be an unbearable torture.

How can a flesh-and-blood body resist the power of thunder and fire of heaven and earth?

In the eyes of everyone, Gu Xi is at most a Jindan disciple with relatively high talent.

Everyone around sighed. As an elder, Yuanchu actually had to go to this extent for him. He was really asking for trouble.

Hearing that Yuanchu was going to take the punishment for her, Gu Xi's eyes suddenly felt hot. She stepped forward and grabbed Yuanchu's sleeve with one hand.

Then he knelt down with a plop, looked at her, and said with red eyes: "Master, no, you can't, this is all my fault, I should bear it myself."

Yuanchu gently stroked her hair with one hand, looking rather reluctant, and said softly: "Be obedient, if you can't bear these few thunderbolts, let me do it."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand to help her up, "Also, if you have anything to say, just say it nicely, and don't kneel before me."

Gu Xi was helped to stand up by Yuan Chu. There was already moisture in the corners of her eyes. She shook her head vigorously and pulled Yuan Chu's sleeve.

He said in a hurry: "Master, I can do it, but you can't...can't do it for me. I can bear it."

Once, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind, and at that time she thought it was just a nightmare.

In that nightmare, a thin woman with a blurry figure was kneeling in the hall, surrounded by a group of people who were watching with cold eyes.

There was another woman standing in front of the woman. One could only vaguely see her lips moving and then she walked away.

Then a disciple came to take her away, apparently to a place...

When she thought of this scene, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, as if a taut string suddenly broke. The pain made her forehead sweat and her brows unconsciously frowned.

Seeing that Gu Xi's face suddenly turned ugly and painful, Yuan Chu hurriedly supported him and asked anxiously: "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xi's vision became a little blurry. She shook her head vigorously, trying to maintain a little clarity.

Her forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, her face was a little pale, and she said intermittently: "Master, I'm fine, I...you can't...can't replace..."

Yuan Chu saw that Gu Xi's emotional state was very unstable. Moreover, there was evil energy sealed in her body, so she could not afford to make any mistakes.

If discovered at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

Yuan Chu's expression changed several times, and then she suddenly retreated. Her hands moved as fast as lightning and she immediately pressed several major acupoints on Gu Xi's body.

Gu Xi's consciousness became even more blurred. Her eyelids were too heavy to open. Her eyes were half closed. She grasped the last bit of clarity and murmured in a trance, "Master? What are you going to do?"

"Don't move for now." Yuan Chu comforted her softly.

Yuan Chu held her with his left hand, and put two fingers of his right hand together, with a few strands of white spiritual power emerging from his fingertips.

The cool spiritual energy flowed along her forehead into the meridians of her body, soothing the violent energy in her body.

Yuan Chu raised his hand and waved it, and Gu Xi's eyes, which were half closed before, closed completely and she fainted.

Gu Xi's body slid down uncontrollably, and Yuan Chu hooked his hand and held her waist tightly.

Then Yuan Chu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he handed her to Wei Lingyu who was standing aside in the hall.

"Take her back to Qingqi Peak for me so she can have a good rest. Thank you." Yuanchu said to Wei Lingyu.

Wei Lingyu didn’t know what to feel at this moment as her good friend’s master was going to be punished for her.

As a bystander, she could feel Yuanchu's incomparable love for her, which is what many people wish for.

In the end, Wei Lingyu just nodded heavily, "Okay, don't worry, Elder Yuan, I will escort Ah Xi back safely."

Yuanchu's action was beyond everyone's expectation. Looking at the thin figure walking out of the meeting hall, everyone was stunned for a long time.

Is this still the cold and aloof Master Yuanda who is ignorant of the ways of the world?
