A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1252

[Chapter 1242 Falling apart]

Qi Ning knew that this was the canon of the Black Lotus Sect, and he shouldn’t have been involved in it, but when he saw that the leader’s methods were so vicious, he couldn’t help but stepped forward and said: “Sect leader, if you think he has a serious crime, you can take it with one hand. Why must his life be so cruel?” The

leader glanced at Qi Ning and said coldly, “Cruel?”

“That’s right.” Qi Ning said sternly: “You are also a great master, and your martial arts cultivation is detached from the world, so why bother ?

Tormenting the subordinates of the past?” The

leader sneered: “Since the Black Lotus Sect was founded in the past, I have not been far away from the world. Don’t compare this seat with the people in the North Palace. They are coincidental and have their own achievements. I only think about my own future, I came from a poor family and suffered hardships, but I will not leave the Miao family behind.” With his hands on his back, he said indifferently, “The Holy Cult is the protector of the Miao family, if the Holy Cult itself has no rules. How can you protect the Miao family regardless of indulging the apostates?”

Qi Ning opened his mouth slightly, he didn’t know what happened to the Black Lotus Sect back then, and he couldn’t argue for a while.

At this time, several clergymen had already carried the wooden stake to the edge of the cliff, and erected the cross stake on the edge of the cliff. One step forward was the abyss. Luo Wuying was facing the cliff, blood dripping from his body, Qi Ning looked at it. In his eyes, he knew that this kind of torture would definitely make Luo Wuying miserable. The so-called eight-volt punishment did not hurt Luo Wuying’s vital points. It could not make Luo Wuying die immediately. flow.

“Sect Master, the punishment of eight volts will last for eight days.” Tian Luo cupped his hands and said: “Within eight days, the traitor Luo Wuying will never die. After eight days, he will be executed.”

Qi Ning immediately understood .

, Luo Wuying still has to suffer like this for eight days. Before the time comes, these people will not let Luo Wuying die.

“Eight days…!” The leader looked into the distance and said lightly: “Yin Wuji, this seat is waiting for you.”

Qi Ning was right next to the leader, and when he heard the word “Yin Wuji”, he was slightly surprised. Knowing that this “Yin Wuji” must be a personal name, but I don’t know where it is sacred.

The leader of the Black Lotus Sect punished Luo Wuying with eight volts in public. The news naturally spread throughout Chaowu Ridge, and the hundreds of people up and down the Black Lotus Sect immediately fell into chaos.

This is of course a big deal for the Black Lotus Sect. The congregants only know that the sect leader has been in seclusion all year round in recent years, and is not seen at all. Luo Wuying has always won the sect leader’s trust, and has been taking care of the holy religion on behalf of the leader these years. , but this time, the sect master suddenly gave Luo Wuying a very severe punishment, which shocked the congregation, and even more puzzled.

However, a small number of people in the church faintly realized that this incident was probably related to the catastrophe many years ago.

There are many people in the church who have experienced the apostasy incident of Elder Xuanyang in

those days.

After Elder Xuanyang betrayed and fled, the Holy Sect carried out a bloody purge. Nearly a hundred people under Elder Xuanyang were executed, and many people who had been close to Elder Xuanyang in the past also suffered annihilation. The cleansing was completed silently, which was extremely cruel, but it was the secret of the Holy Religion. After the incident, several holy envoys quickly covered up everything and did not let the news spread to the outside world.

This time Luo Wuying was punished, and the disciples who belonged to Luo Wuying felt that something was wrong. The scene of the bloody purge that year appeared in front of them, and no one could guarantee that it would not be a new purge.

On the night that Luo Wuying was punished with eight volts, Luo Wuying’s direct disciples began to sneak away from Chaowu Ridge. Ten people fled Chaowu Ridge.

The escape of these people naturally caused even greater panic in Chaowuling.

Early the next morning, Tian Luo was frightened and told the leader about the absconding of the church members, but the leader didn’t care at all, and didn’t even say a single extra sentence.

The next night, more than a dozen people fled Chaowu Ridge. Tianluo knew that panic was like a plague. As long as it spread, Chaowu Ridge would soon be plunged into greater turmoil, so he sent his subordinates. The congregation guarded the critical point of Chaowu Ridge. Originally, they wanted to prevent the congregation from continuing to flee, but Tian Luo himself was Luo Wuying’s direct subordinate, and all the people under Tian Luo’s hands were Luo Wuying’s. The third one was Luo Wuying. There were still people fleeing that night, even the congregants who were assigned to guard the road.

The leader’s massacre in Chaowu Ridge has already made the believers terrified, but Luo Wuying, as a holy sect’s envoy, ended up in such a miserable end, while the believers were horrified, there were many in their hearts who were angry with the leader.

Religion has rules, the rules of the Black Lotus Sect have always been strict, and anyone who violates the rules will naturally be punished.

In the past, even the lowest-level cultists, if they violated the canon, would be punished, and the person who executed the sentence would clearly and clearly declare the wrong they had committed, and then they would be punished in accordance with the punishment of the holy religion, but this time the sect leader Punishing such an important person as Luo Wuying was only to throw down a charge of apostasy, and how to betrayal was not explained at all. Although the congregation was in awe of the leader, there was no reason to kill for such a reason. The congregation was horrified.

Among the holy religions, except for a few holy messengers and some powerful characters in the religion who were personally recruited by the sect master, most of the congregation were actually recruited by several holy messengers, and some of them came here voluntarily. Since entering the Holy Church, although the leader is in awe of the leader, the leader is rarely with them, and the leader rarely issues orders directly to them, so the relationship between this group of people and several holy messengers is much closer. .

The sect leader was so cruel, it made the congregation feel chills and worried about cleaning again. After a few days, hundreds of people fled Chaowu Ridge.

Tianluo knew in his heart that if things continued like this, the Black Lotus Sect would soon collapse. He captured a few people and beheaded them in public. He originally wanted to deter the sects and make them dare not escape privately. People are frightened.

Tianluo was most worried that those who fled would spread the news about Chaowuling.

The Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions encircled Chaowuling, and there were many casualties. Although Qi Ning’s mediation finally allowed the two sides to stop fighting in the name of the imperial court, the Liangzi of the two sides had already formed a deep bond. This time, the black lotus There was great turmoil within the sect, and it could be said that it was the weakest time since the establishment of the sect. Tian Luo was really worried that once the news spread, it would make the enemy family think there was an opportunity to attack Chaowu Ridge again.

It’s just that the sect master didn’t pay attention to these things. Tian Luo reported to the sect master twice about the private escape of the sect master.

There is a protruding rock in the northwest corner of Chaowu Ridge, which looks like an arrow protruding out of the cliff, so it is called Arrow Cliff.

Standing on the Arrow Cliff overlooking, the rolling Chaowu Ridge Mountains have a panoramic view.

The sect leader stood in front of Arrow Cliff, with his hands on his back, looking at Chaowu Ridge, which was covered with white snow, thinking of the heavens.

Qi Ning, who was by the leader’s side, was aware of the large number of congregants fleeing privately, but of course he was inconvenient to say a word.

But he knew in his heart that the sect leader ordered Luo Wuying to be punished with eight volts, which not only made the Black Lotus Sect terrified, but also made them feel that the sect leader had already acted backwards. .

“Who is the leader waiting for?” Qi Ning stood behind the leader and finally asked with a sigh.

Although the leader did not restrain Qi Ning’s actions on Chaowu Ridge, Qi Ning knew that if the leader did not speak, he would not be able to get out of Chaowu Ridge.

The sect leader almost took himself to Xichuan from the ancient elephant, and witnessed his ferocity. Qi Ning didn’t know what the leader’s intention was, and he didn’t know how long the master who murdered without blinking would trap him.

Luo Wuying was still suffering the punishment of eight volts, being tied to a cross wooden pole against the cold wind.

It was really easy for the leader to kill Luo Wuying, but he tortured Luo Wuying like this. Tian Luo and the others might think it was punishment according to the canon, but Qi Ning followed closely by the leader, but he had already seen through the leader’s intentions. .

The leader turned his back to Xining and did not speak.

“The people of the Hei Lian sect are terrified of the leader. The leader ordered Luo Wuying to be punished, but he didn’t explain to everyone what crime Bai Luo Wuying committed. Just a single charge of apostasy is not convincing.” Qi Ning said. : “Even if the government punishes the prisoner, the guilt will be clearly judged, and it will not be so vague.” After a slight pause, he said: “The sect master did this deliberately, because he expected that there would be people from the court. Wuling escaped.” The

leader said lightly: “You are very smart.”

“It’s not that I am smart, but the leader’s skills are very powerful.” Qi Ning said: “Those cultists fled the court. Wuling, things about Chaowuling will naturally spread out. The sect leader is strong in martial arts, and naturally he doesn’t worry about enemies coming in. Your purpose is to let those people speak out.”

“Oh?” The sect leader turned around. , staring at Qi Ning’s eyes: “Who do you bring the message to?”

Qi Ning and the sect master looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and then said: “When the sect master said that Luo Wuying betrayed the Black Lotus Sect, it was not just you, but you guys. , so in the sect master’s heart, of course the person who betrayed you was not just Luo Wuying.” He sighed: “As the sect master of Hei Lian, he is also a great master. With Luo Wuying alone, of course it is impossible to let him go. The sect master…!” The

sect master didn’t say anything, and Qi Ning didn’t change his face when he saw him, and said: “Luo Wuying and the others betrayed the sect master, if I guessed correctly, it should have happened when the elder Xuanyang betrayed the religion. The incident at the Upper Black Lotus Sect was not the so-called Elder Xuanyang’s apostasy, but someone who joined forces to betray the leader, but those few people knew that the leader was the root of the Black Lotus Sect. Once the congregation found out that the leader was murdered, not only did the church immediately fall apart. , even the Shenhou Mansion and other Jianghu forces may also attack the Black Lotus Sect, so they covered up the truth of the matter, it was originally a change against the sect leader, and finally declared that it was Elder Xuanyang’s apostasy.” Sigh. With a tone of voice, he said: “This matter is tightly sealed and has been covered up all the time. I don’t know if I am right?”
