After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

"... Sect Master, elders, this is what happened..." Pei Yun said as he bowed to everyone in the meeting hall.

At this time, in the entire hall, not only the Mu Sect Master Luo Rufeng, Huo Lianfeng and others, but also Elder Li from the Zhengfa Hall and Elder Xu from the Faqi Hall had arrived at the scene.

"Sect Master, the Foundation Building Competition has a rule that magical instruments above the Xuan level cannot be used. Senior Brother Wang used an illegal magical instrument to sneak attack a disciple on the stage. Fortunately, the disciple worked hard on his body movement and was not injured. This time, I came to see the Sect Master only to seek justice..."

"Master, I used the life-saving magic weapon my father gave me just to protect myself. Pei Yun and I had a grudge because of her sister Pei Ling. This time, she attacked me ruthlessly in the ring. I had no choice but to use this hidden arrow..." Wang He's face was full of grievances, and he pointed at Elder Xu beside him, "Elder Xu was judging the case at the scene, he can testify for me."

Elder Xu, who was cowering in the corner and not daring to move, saw that everyone present was looking at him, and couldn't help but secretly curse Wang He for dragging him into this. However, he had no choice but to go down this dark road. It was too late to change his words now: "Sect Master, things... are indeed as Wang He said. I don't know the grudge between the two sides, but when Pei Yun attacked... he really showed no mercy..."

"Master, He'er is really wronged. She was forced to protect herself, but she was framed..." Elder Wang stood up from his seat, slapped the armrest, and questioned Pei Yun below, "You, a disciple, are so vicious. Your sister seduced He'er and tried to sow discord between the main peak and Huolian Peak. You want to take this opportunity to take revenge, right!"

Pei Yun was so angry at their nonsense that he sneered. Just as he was about to refute them, he saw Sect Master Mu, who was sitting in the center above, speaking: "Where is that magic weapon? Bring it up."

Seeing Sect Leader Mu looking at him solemnly, Wang He couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He glanced at his father guiltily, took off the bracelet on his hand and handed it over.

Sect Master Mu examined it carefully for a moment and then handed it to Elder Xu from the Magical Instrument Hall.

“…It is a low-grade earth-level magic weapon. This bracelet is made of ebony wood. There is a sleeve arrow hidden in the hollow of the bracelet. Once the sleeve arrow is stimulated by spiritual power, it will fly out. Moreover, the sleeve arrow is short and exquisite. If it is an ordinary foundation-building disciple… it may be difficult to detect and avoid it…” Elder Xu’s eyes flashed with a gleam, and he glanced at Wang He sharply.

Everyone turned their eyes to Wang He, and he couldn't help but lower his head, his whole body trembling slightly.

"Pei Yun, Wang He said that you attacked him ruthlessly in order to avenge your sister. What do you say?" Sect Master Mu suddenly turned to Pei Yun and asked.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, firstly, Pei Ling and I don't have a good relationship. We have never interacted with each other. I don't know much about her and Wang He's affairs. Secondly, I don't know what misunderstandings Elder Wang and Wang He have about me. Am I such a stupid person? I seriously injured him in front of everyone in the foundation building competition. Are you afraid that the sect will not disqualify me from the competition?"

"Pfft!" Luo Qi, Lu Yu and others who were originally standing aside couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Even Sect Master Mu's serious expression relaxed a little. Just as he was about to speak, Wang He shouted angrily, "Who knows what you were thinking at the time? You might have been so eager to avenge your sister that you lost your mind and wanted to seriously injure me. It's not impossible. Elder Xu, who is present, has already testified against you, and you still want to quibble..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciple guarding the door came in and reported: "Master, there are several disciples outside who want to see you. They said they have something to report to you."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

Pei Ye, Zhao Yuexi and the other two walked in and saluted respectfully to the clan leader and elders at the head. Wang He's heart sank as he stood by. As expected -

"Disciple Pei Ye pays his respects to the sect master and the elders." Pei Ye's voice was trembling a little. This was his first time to come into close contact with the sect's top leaders. Facing these monks who could easily crush him, he couldn't help but feel awe and fear.

"Sect Master, Pei Yun and Pei Ling are both my sisters. They have always had a distant relationship and have never had any contact within the sect. Pei Yun is also not aware of the dispute between Pei Ling and Senior Brother Wang, so there is no question of Pei Yun avenging his sister..."

"Sect Master, Senior Brother Li, Junior Brother Qu and I watched the whole process from the bottom of the ring. Junior Sister Pei had no intention of seriously injuring Wang He. On the contrary, Wang He saw that the outcome was already decided, so he used this earth-level magic weapon to sneak attack Junior Sister Pei. If Junior Sister Pei hadn't dodged quickly, she would have been seriously injured..."

"Zhao Yuexi, you are talking nonsense. When did I attack Pei Yun? You actually want to slander me just because our engagement didn't go through!" Wang He was so angry that his face turned red, staring at Zhao Yuexi.

"Slander?! Humph!" Li Shuo snorted coldly, "You are a late foundation building cultivator, but your cultivation level is not as good as Junior Sister Pei's in the middle foundation building stage, yet you want to launch a sneak attack. After being caught, you want to slander her. Who can slander better than you?"

"That's right! Do you know what you are doing now? It's like a cornered dog jumping over the wall!" Qu Di also retorted without giving in.

"You three..." Wang He stared at the three people in front of him fiercely, his hands clenched into fists, and he wished he could go up and tear them apart immediately, his face distorted.

“Master, I, Huo Lianfeng, was indeed wrong about the engagement. He'er shouldn't have been deceived by a menial disciple. But Elder Zhao Han actually allowed a junior to humiliate me, Huo Lianfeng, like this. Isn't he too narrow-minded?” Elder Wang glanced at Zhao Yuexi and the other two with a gloomy look.

Seeing that Elder Wang wanted to take the opportunity to change the subject and put the blame on Second Junior Brother, Liang Feng could not help but step forward and said in a deep voice: "Elder Wang, what we are talking about now is that someone from your sect used illegal magic tools to hurt others. Yue Xi and the others just told the truth. What does this have to do with Junior Brother Zhao?"

"The truth? Are they the only ones who said the truth? What Elder Xu said is not the truth! You just want to target me, Huo Lianfeng, so you support this disciple..." Elder Wang waved his sleeves with a sneer, "You want to convict He'er based on the nonsense of these disciples. I, Huo Lianfeng, will not accept the punishment."

Wang He lowered his head with a hint of arrogant and complacent sneer on his lips, then turned around and glanced at Pei Yun sinisterly.

Pei Yun saw that the situation had come to a stalemate and sighed helplessly. He knew that the matter would probably end in nothing, but it was a good thing that Wang He's magic weapon was exposed. Otherwise, if this mad dog went crazy and used it on other disciples, it might really cause serious injuries.

“Since everyone has their own opinion, let Elder Li send someone to investigate…” As expected, Sect Leader Mu spoke.

But no one expected that at this moment, the guard disciple outside the door came in again: "Sect Master, a group of disciples gathered outside the door and want to see you. They said they are willing to testify for Pei Yun!"

Hearing this, except for Elder Wang and Wang He, everyone else became excited and looked at Pei Yun.

Luo Rufeng looked at her tacitly and nodded slightly to her.

Elder Wang and his son didn't expect that they were just one step away from calming the situation, but suddenly there was a turn for the better. Wang He couldn't hide his anxiety on his face at this moment.

"Disciple greets the sect master and the elders." A large group of ordinary foundation-building disciples walked in. There were about twenty of them, all of whom had been watching the competition between Pei Yun and Wang He under the arena before.

"Master, fellow elders, I watched the competition from beginning to end. I can testify for Junior Sister Pei that Junior Sister Pei Yun did not intend to seriously injure Wang He. Even after Wang He's sneak attack, Junior Sister Pei Yun just kicked him off the stage..."

"I can also testify that Senior Sister Pei Yun had no intention of harming Senior Brother Wang during the competition..."

"Disciple is willing to testify for Junior Sister Pei Yun."

All the disciples spoke up for Pei Yun. At this moment, Pei Yun was deeply moved. She did not regret having reported Wang He before, and now she was even more glad that she stood up.

Justice may be late, but it will not be absent.

"Master, I...want to report Wang He." A young female disciple came out with tears in her eyes. "I once ran into Wang He by chance. Not only was he stopped and teased me on the spot, but he also threatened me that if I didn't give myself to him, I would be kicked out of the sect...I have been avoiding him since then, but he sent people from Huo Lianfeng to harass me. Today I finally have the opportunity to make the matter public. I ask Master to administer justice..." Then she knelt down.

There was an uproar at the scene. Whether it was the sect master and elders above or the disciples around him, they all looked at Wang He with unfriendly eyes.

Following this disciple's complaint, another disciple came out and pointed at Wang He with an angry face: "Sect Master, Wang He usually relies on his father's status as the peak master in the sect to bully others. Wang He once took a fancy to a treasure of my friend, so he sent people to follow my friend, not only to rob the treasure, but also beat my friend all over his body. Now he is lying in bed unable to move. I beg you to make a decision for him and severely punish Wang He!"

"Nonsense! You are all talking nonsense!" Wang He was really desperate now, and even wanted to rush over and beat up the two people who made the complaint, with a ferocious look on his face.

"Wang He, what do you want to do?!"

"How can you be so presumptuous in front of the Sect Master?"

"He'er, no!"

Luo Rufeng raised his eyes and glanced at Wang He sharply, then raised his hand and waved his sleeve, pressing Wang He to the ground so that he couldn't move.

"Master, I think there is no need to investigate this matter any further. I think everyone has reached a conclusion in their minds." Luo Rufeng said.

This time even Elder Wang did not refute. He sat in his seat, holding the armrests on both sides tightly with his hands.

"Master, I plead guilty! I plead guilty! I was afraid of offending Huo Lianfeng, so I offered to help Wang He. I didn't know that this person had committed so many evil things. Please forgive me, Master." Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Elder Xu knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Wang He, what else do you have to say?" Sect Master Mu looked so majestic that Wang He felt afraid and he did not dare to look up to meet his gaze.

"Master, I admit my mistake. Please forgive me!" He knelt down and kowtowed desperately. He no longer had the arrogance he had before, and his body was shaking with fear.

"Elder Li, imprison Wang He in the Punishment Cliff first, and investigate how many other disciples he has killed. Huo Lianfeng will provide all compensation. After the investigation is completed, his cultivation will be abolished and he will be expelled from the sect."

"Yes." Elder Li nodded.

"Master, it's not just Wang He. Elder Wang also attacked the younger generation in the square before. If I hadn't arrived, Pei Yun would have been seriously injured by him. This account must be settled too." Luo Rufeng spoke again.

“…Master, I was in a hurry at the time, so…” Elder Wang immediately stood up to defend himself.

"You actually attributed your cruelty to your fellow low-level disciples to a moment of desperation. It can be seen that Wang He's usual arrogance and domineering behavior are all taught by you."

"Luo Rufeng, you..." Elder Wang looked at Luo Rufeng angrily.

“Elder Wang, as a Nascent Soul master, you actually disregarded your dignity and status, and even ignored the sect’s rules and attacked low-level disciples…” Sect Master Mu’s face completely darkened, “I will take back the spiritual vein occupied by your Huo Lianfeng, and reduce all resources issued by the sect by half for 50 years. If you dare to commit the same offense again during this period, I will cancel Huo Lianfeng and expel you from the sect.”

"metropolitan……"

"Do you understand, Elder Wang?"

"……Yes."

Sect Master Mu took the people from the main peak away. Pei Yun respectfully bowed to Zhao Yuexi, Liang Feng and others to express his gratitude.

Elder Li forced Wang He and Elder Xu back to the Zhengfa Hall. Elder Wang glanced coldly at Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun, then stood up and returned to Huo Lianfeng.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lu Yu, for your help."

"There's no need to be polite between you and me. Besides, you did nothing wrong. This matter is also within the scope of our Zhengfa Hall's responsibilities. I'll come to you after I've dealt with Wang He's matter." Lu Yu smiled and patted Pei Yun's shoulder, then followed his master.

Pei Yun bowed and thanked the disciples who had helped him, and even bowed to Pei Ye with a smile: "...Thank you very much."

No matter what Pei Ye was thinking before, when he mustered up the courage to defend himself at this moment, Pei Yun felt his sincerity and was grateful for him standing up.

"We are all members of the Pei family. Sister Yun, you are too polite. I will leave now without disturbing you." Pei Ye also smiled and nodded and left.

Pei Yun turned around and realized that except for himself and Luo Rufeng, everyone else in the hall had left.

"Where is Senior Brother Luo Qi?" She had just clearly seen Luo Qi standing behind Luo Rufeng, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Your Excellency." Pei Yun saw Luo Rufeng walking towards her and bowed. "I really want to thank you this time. If you hadn't rescued me in time, I would have been seriously injured..."

"You did nothing wrong. It was Elder Wang and his son who acted recklessly and caused this incident..." Luo Rufeng's eyes were calm and gentle, "As an elder of the sect, I should protect the disciples below..."

Pei Yun glanced at him with a smile on his face, and felt inexplicably happy in his heart: "No matter what, I still have to thank you, Your Excellency. Are you the one who arranged the group of disciples behind you?"

"I was the one who told Elder Li to send people to investigate the situation. These disciples are witnesses who dare to speak up for you..." Luo Rufeng raised his lips slightly and shook his head, "I didn't expect Wang He to behave so badly. Pei Yun, it's because you were the first to stand up against Wang He that you gave hope to those who were bullied by him but dared not speak out. They should thank you..."

"But after this incident, I will never have a peaceful day again." Pei Yun could foresee the ups and downs that were to come.

"As I said before, what monks ultimately rely on is strength. You can convince them with your strength."

"...Venerable, will you accept any disciples in this foundation-building competition?" Pei Yun looked up at him, feeling both expectant and conflicted.

"...No." Luo Rufeng unconsciously avoided her gaze and paused for a moment before speaking.
