Chapter 1147: Chapter 24: Where Is Justice? Justice Is Here!
The day at Piaomiao Sect was destined to be anything but ordinary.
This day marked the annual competition for new Inner Sect Disciples at Piaomiao Sect.
Disciples who secured a position in the top ten would receive rewards.
This had already become a tradition at Piaomiao Sect.
Every year, this kind of competition is held, primarily to encourage new Inner Sect Disciples and inspire Outer Disciples to continue their efforts.
The Sect Master of Piaomiao Sect, along with the Elders and Peak Masters from various peaks, sat in the highest stands, watching the energetic disciples below with satisfaction.
"Why hasn’t the Peak Master of Seven Harmonies Peak arrived yet?" The Sect Master glanced around and asked.
"Who knows, maybe he’s tinkering with his strange gadgets again. He mentioned recently that he’s trying to forge a Divine Artifact." The Great Elder frowned, seemingly having little regard for the Peak Master of Seven Harmonies Peak.
"A Divine Artifact? Can he really make one? Always dreaming and acting peculiar." The Second Elder interjected.
"He’s always rather gloomy, and his disciples are just like him." The Third Elder casually chimed in, then looked down to notice his granddaughter, smiling as he did so, "This year my Rongrong has signed a contract with a Xuanjia Turtle. Want to bet? My Rongrong will surely take first place this year."
"Look at you being smug." The Great Elder rolled his eyes, "With the Xuanjia Turtle’s defense so strong, who could break through it? Your granddaughter can attack, yet others can’t hit her. She would win by grinding down opponents. What’s there to bet on?"
"The Xuanjia Turtle hasn’t even grown fully yet. It will be more formidable when it matures." The Third Elder spoke gleefully.
The Second Elder, listening, also rolled his eyes. Where exactly had the Third Elder’s granddaughter found a Xuanjia Turtle, and even signed a contract with it? This kid had limitless potential. There was a hint of envy in his heart!
Just as a Steward was about to announce the start of the competition, suddenly a fierce wind blew through the air, causing almost everyone to shut their eyes against it, robes fluttering wildly. After the wind passed, a silhouette appeared, floating in mid-air above the square.
"Piaomiao Sect." The person floating mid-air emitted a voice that was both clear and astoundingly authoritative.
This voice was unforgettable to all who heard it.
It was the same voice as when Cao Yuanli from Wanhe Sect was punished, and during the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Heavenly Dao?!
Why had it appeared here?
"Heavenly Dao." The Sect Master of Piaomiao Sect’s face turned grave, and he swiftly stood up, bowing to Tianmiao. The Elders and Peak Masters at his side quickly followed suit.
The densely packed crowd on the square also hurriedly bowed.
"Chen Xiang, the Peak Master of Seven Harmonies Peak in Piaomiao Sect, has cruelly slaughtered countless Demon Beasts, imprisoning their souls. His crimes are monumental. His punishment, forty-nine days of burning flames, forty-nine days of heart-piercing arrows, skinning and bleeding the bones three hundred times, never to reincarnate." Tianmiao’s tone was calm yet filled with endless coldness and cruelty.
Upon hearing Tianmiao’s words, everyone in Piaomiao Sect looked at her in astonishment. Did they mishear?
Such a brutal punishment?
What on earth did the Peak Master of Seven Harmonies Peak do to commit such universally shocking acts?
"This, Heavenly Dao, is there something..." The Sect Master hesitated to speak but then abruptly shut his mouth. He forgot, before him stood the Heavenly Dao! The omniscient Heavenly Dao. If such words were spoken, then what exactly did Chen Xiang do?
Tianmiao ignored the Sect Master’s question, instead waving a hand, and a ball of flesh and blood rolled out, crashing heavily onto the square.
