Chapter 486: Execute Wei Xin personally!
Grand Sky Sect... Grand Sky Hall.Today, the heads of all the palaces gathered in the Grand Sky Hall, with Sect Master Gu Mingchao personally presiding.
Outside the Grand Sky Hall, disciples from various palaces also came to listen in.
Wei Xin was brought to the Grand Sky Hall, kneeling in the center at this moment.
Today's sect meeting would also decide Wei Xin's fate, whether he would live or die would be revealed today.
The Great Elder watched Wei Xin kneeling there without saying a word. Over the past few days, the sect had not been idle. With an absurdly powerful intelligence network, everything about Wei Xin had been thoroughly investigated.
When did Wei Xin enter the meteorite iron mine... what he did there...
Everything was crystal clear.
Including how Wei Xin was chosen by Xinghe to enter the Grand Sky Sect, and how he stole the Wuxiang Heart Sutra, all was clear. Later, Wei Xin's change of heart and genuine intention to become a disciple of the Grand Sky Sect was also understood by the Great Elder through various means.
Now, how to deal with Wei Xin was indeed a dilemma for the Great Elder.
If you say to execute Wei Xin, the current Wei Xin genuinely wants to stay in the Grand Sky Sect and has become a Soul Master, a future formidable force for our sect.
Assisting Xinghe would certainly be without any issues.
But if you don't execute Wei Xin, his identity as a spy is difficult to handle...
The Great Elder gestured outside, and Ma Liang entered the Grand Sky Hall with the Feng City Order.
Many elders nodded simultaneously, beginning the first step of the day, using Ma Liang's Soul Devouring Technique from the Wan Ghosts Formation to verify if Wei Xin truly intended to join the Grand Sky Sect.
Although the Soul Devouring Technique would have some effect on Wei Xin, at this point, there was no other choice...
After all, no matter how clear the investigation was before, the truth must be thoroughly discerned.
Ma Liang looked at Wei Xin kneeling there, sighed, and without saying much, directly activated the Soul Devouring Technique.
In an instant, the Ghost Emperor descended, and the Soul Devouring Technique began to probe the deepest soul imprint of Wei Xin.
Soon, Wei Xin's past and various matters in the Grand Sky Sect were displayed before everyone.
Watching Wei Xin's transformation step by step, many elders nodded.
When the Soul Devouring Technique ended, the Great Sage was the first to step forward.
"Saint... Sect Master... Great Elder... Wei Xin, this child, stayed in my Dark Moon Palace as soon as he entered the sect. Although Wei Xin was indeed a spy before, he is now truly a disciple of my Dark Moon Palace, as everyone has seen. This child genuinely wants to stay in the Grand Sky Sect, and we should give him a chance."
Several elders nodded slightly.
"Great Sage, you are mistaken!"
Elder He stepped out from the crowd.
"Great Sage, it is true that Wei Xin genuinely wants to join the Grand Sky Sect, but that does not erase his previous identity as a spy. If today we give him a chance just because he genuinely wants to stay in the sect, what if we discover other spies in the future?"
"If other spies also genuinely want to join our Grand Sky Sect, should we also give them a chance?"
Elder He's words, although harsh, were factual.
A spy is, after all, a spy. Letting them go because they genuinely want to join? That seems a bit too outrageous.
The Great Sage looked at Elder He, wanting to say something but had to admit that Elder He was right.
"Elder He, don't be so angry... Wei Xin now genuinely wants to join our Grand Sky Sect and is the only Soul Master on the Blazing Sun Continent. If we kill him, wouldn't that be a loss for our sect?" Elder Yu spoke up.
"Hehe... Old Yu, according to you, as long as a spy is valuable, they can be spared? Then where is the dignity of our Grand Sky Sect!"
"Old He, you make it sound simple. If we kill Wei Xin, we lose our only Soul Master and let the Cloud Soar Sect's scheme succeed. Our sect would suffer a great loss!"
"Our Grand Sky Sect doesn't lack this one Soul Master!"
"No matter how strong a Soul Master is, can they be stronger than Xinghe?"
"Right, right... How can a Soul Master compare to Xinghe..."
"Xinghe's Quelling Evil is a natural counter to Soul Masters."
"No problem... Speaking of Xinghe's Quelling Evil... Wait, are we discussing Xinghe now?"
Chu Xinghe watched as the many elders, with a single disagreement, started discussing him and felt speechless.
From a benefit standpoint, today he should advocate for Wei Xin's execution because Wei Xin is also a disciple of the Grand Sky Sect and a future Soul Master, definitely a formidable force.
Executing Wei Xin would certainly make the Compass of Misfortune spin wildly.
But I, Chu Xinghe, am not someone without humanity. From the beginning, I never thought of eliminating any fellow disciples. Otherwise, I would just focus on building the sect, watching the Compass of Misfortune reverse, and the sect would have been destroyed long ago.
Listening to the elders' debate, the Great Elder spoke up.
"Silence!"
Gu Mingchao looked at the Grand Sky Hall, which had quieted down again, and also spoke: "Xinghe, what do you think?"
Hearing the Sect Master's words, everyone's eyes turned to Xinghe.
After all, Wei Xin was brought into the sect by Xinghe, so Xinghe's opinion was important at this moment.
The Great Sage looked at the Saint with a face full of expectation.
"Sect Master... Elders, my opinion is that just as a country has its laws and a family has its rules, our Grand Sky Sect also has its own regulations. As Elder He said, we absolutely cannot compromise just because of what the future might hold. If someone is a spy, they must die once discovered!"
Chu Xinghe's words left the Great Sage stunned...
Elder He immediately applauded Xinghe!
The Great Elder and Sect Master Gu Mingchao also nodded slightly.
As the future leader of the Grand Sky Sect, sometimes decisiveness is necessary.
A disciple, no matter how outstanding, must be dealt with according to the rules once they make a mistake. Otherwise, where is the authority of the sect's rules?
Elder Yu and others, who initially pleaded, fell silent upon hearing Xinghe's words, as Xinghe's reasoning was sound.
However, losing a Soul Master for nothing still left everyone feeling a bit uncomfortable.
But at this moment, Chu Xinghe spoke up: "Sect Master, Elders, I request to personally execute Wei Xin today!"
Hearing Chu Xinghe express his desire to personally execute Wei Xin, even the Great Elder was momentarily stunned, but he found no fault with Xinghe's decision.
After all, Wei Xin was brought into the Grand Sky Sect by Xinghe, so it was fitting for Xinghe to personally handle it.
Thus, the Great Elder looked at Gu Mingchao, who gestured for Xinghe to proceed.
Receiving the Sect Master's approval, Chu Xinghe slowly walked to the center of the hall where Wei Xin was.
At this moment, Wei Xin slowly raised his head to look at Senior Brother Xinghe. Although he didn't understand why Senior Brother Xinghe, who had promised to protect him, now wanted to personally send him off, Wei Xin held no resentment toward Senior Brother Xinghe.
Because everything he had today was given by Senior Brother Xinghe, and if Xinghe wanted to take his life, Wei Xin would not resent him in the slightest.
Seeing the lack of hatred in Wei Xin's eyes, even the Great Elder couldn't help but nod.
Although Wei Xin had taken the wrong path in the past, at this moment, he did not disappoint everyone.
If Wei Xin had shown any hatred now, he would have been an ungrateful wolf.
"Wei Xin, do you have anything you want to say?" Chu Xinghe asked Wei Xin slowly.
"Wei Xin thanks Senior Brother Xinghe for personally taking action. Wei Xin never regrets entering the Grand Sky Sect. Meeting Senior Brother Xinghe is the greatest fortune of my life. In this life, I have let down Senior Brother Xinghe's trust. If there is a next life, I would still join the Grand Sky Sect and become its disciple! God Bless Grand Sky Sect!"
Wei Xin's words moved many elders in the Grand Sky Hall.
This child, although he initially took the wrong path, has no faults now.
"Good... Remember your words, in the next life, you will still be a disciple of our Grand Sky Sect!"
After speaking, Chu Xinghe didn't waste words. His arm flashed with white light, and the sixth sword from the Grand Sky Sword Box, Gentle Twine, shot out.
Gentle Twine appeared like a thread, wrapping around Chu Xinghe's arm, then with a faint light, it directly reached Wei Xin's chest.
Though Gentle Twine seemed soft, its penetrating power was terrifyingly extreme. Wei Xin, close to the seventh grade, had his spiritual energy automatically activate a protective mode under the threat of death, but this protective energy couldn't stop Gentle Twine in the slightest and was directly pierced through.
With a flash of sword light, a nearly imperceptible small hole appeared in Wei Xin's chest, and his heart was pierced by Gentle Twine...
In the eyes of everyone, Wei Xin, with his heart pierced, lay lifeless on the ground...
The entire Grand Sky Hall, inside and out, was silent. At this moment, even the many elders were shocked, looking at Xinghe.
You must know, although Xinghe said he would personally send Wei Xin off today, don't the elders know Xinghe?
Xinghe is famous for protecting his fellow disciples!
Whenever a disciple was punished, Xinghe would ensure he was the first to arrive to plead for them, even confronting the sect elders head-on if necessary.
Regarding Wei Xin's matter today, the elders were waiting for Xinghe to speak. If Xinghe had said that Wei Xin's death sentence could be spared but not his punishment, they would have gone along with it, giving Wei Xin a chance.
Although it might violate the sect's rules, rules are dead, but people are alive.
Wei Xin had taken the wrong path before, but he knew his mistake now, and giving him a chance wasn't wrong.
But no one expected that when Xinghe said he would personally act, he really did personally act and killed Wei Xin on the spot?
Not only were the elders stunned, but all the disciples who came to watch were also dumbfounded.
Everyone thought Senior Brother Xinghe would save Wei Xin today, but not only did he not save him, he personally used Gentle Twine to pierce Wei Xin's heart and send him off?
This left everyone bewildered.
But just as everyone was confused, Chu Xinghe spoke.
"Wei Xin was brought into the sect by me. His identity as a spy is my responsibility. Today, I personally killed Wei Xin to give the sect an explanation and to tell the world that our Grand Sky Sect has zero tolerance for spies. From today, all sect industries will thoroughly investigate all spies, and once discovered, they will be executed on the spot!"
Ma Liang quickly noted down Senior Brother Xinghe's order, indicating he would promptly execute it without the elders' concern.
"Announce to the world, Wei Xin is dead! From now on, there is no such person as Wei Xin." Chu Xinghe spoke again, and the disciple responsible for recording everything with a crystal stored it away. This recording would be broadcasted to the world through the Grand Sky Mirror, letting everyone know what happened today in the Grand Sky Hall.
But just as everyone marveled at Senior Brother Xinghe's decisiveness, Chu Xinghe addressed Sect Master Gu Mingchao: "Sect Master, the Cloud Soar Sect openly planted a spy in our Grand Sky Sect. We will not let this matter rest easily, so I propose that from today, the Cloud Soar Sect is no longer on friendly terms with our Grand Sky Sect!"
Goodness, as soon as Chu Xinghe said this, many elders nodded in agreement.
You, Cloud Soar Sect, want to play this game with us... then from now on, the Grand Sky Sect and Cloud Soar Sect are no longer friendly, and the cost of this will be that the Cloud Soar Sect will no longer receive any assistance from the Grand Sky Sect. Want the Beast God's blessing from Xinghe? Dream on... It's impossible!
As for other matters, the Grand Sky Sect will slowly settle accounts with the Cloud Soar Sect.
And just as everyone was lamenting the Cloud Soar Sect's self-inflicted predicament, Chu Xinghe calculated the time...
Hmm... the time is about right... then looked at Wei Xin on the ground...
In the next moment, under everyone's gaze, Wei Xin moved...
The entire audience: "???"
