Chapter 2493 Divine Martial Sect Bounty
Chapter 2493 Divine Martial Sect Bounty
Without additional evidence, this Shenwu Sect disciple could indeed claim that what was written on the white cloth was a frame-up against him, or even an attempt to smear the entire Shenwu Sect.
But now, combined with the contents of this booklet, this elder of the Divine Martial Sect can conclude that there are despicable rats within their sect.
And this rat was kneeling in front of them.
"what happened?"
Seeing the frighteningly ugly expression on the face of this Shenwu Sect elder, the other two elders immediately had a bad feeling as well.
"Take a look for yourselves." The elder tossed the booklet in his hand to the other two people.
The booklet did not contain a detailed record of Qin Fei and Li Yan's interrogation of the Shenwu Sect disciple, but it was concise and pointed out that the Shenwu Sect disciple had betrayed the sect and sold his soul.
The description above is very detailed and not exaggerated at all.
"Bastard thing!"
After reading the contents of the booklet, the other two elders of the Divine Martial Sect were also undoubtedly furious.
One of the elders threw the booklet directly at the face of the person kneeling on the ground, and said with great anger: "Our Divine Martial Sect has always treated people like you well, but you actually colluded with forces like the Tianya Haijiao Organization for your own selfish interests. By doing this, you have not only harmed yourselves, but also tarnished our sect!"
"What crime have you committed?"
Upon hearing this, the man kneeling on the ground turned pale. At this moment, he should have understood what kind of content was recorded in the booklet.
He instantly hated Qin Fei and Li Yan; those two bastards actually wanted to kill him.
"Unjustly accused!"
"I was wronged!"
But this disciple of the Divine Martial Sect still hadn't given up. At this moment, he was trying his best to clear his name: "Someone is deliberately trying to harm me. You must not fall for it."
“Every country has its laws, and every family has its rules. Regardless of whether you are innocent or not, we will discuss this after you have personally experienced our sect’s rules!” said an elder of the Divine Martial Sect.
Clearly, he didn't trust the person in front of him and preferred to believe what was written in the pamphlet.
If this didn't happen, how could it be recorded so clearly?
So he's going to pursue this even further!
"Spare your life!"
"I have truly been wronged."
Upon hearing that he was to be tortured, the Shenwu Sect disciple's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
As a senior disciple of the Divine Martial Sect, he knew all too well the power of those tortures. Losing a layer of skin was the least of his worries; the worst cases resulted in mental breakdown from which he could never recover.
He's naturally a bit timid, so he's genuinely terrified now.
"Innocent?"
"Then I'll allow you to look at the contents of this first." One of the elders coldly tossed the booklet to the other person.
"Take a look at what's recorded here. Did you say those things yourself?"
"If you lie to us, I can take back all your cultivation right now!"
The so-called complete recovery of cultivation means that the other party's cultivation is directly destroyed. For a cultivator, this is even more painful than killing the other party directly.
Upon hearing this, the disciple immediately turned his attention to the booklet. When he saw the contents recorded on it, his breathing became rapid.
At this moment, he truly hated Qin Fei and Li Yan. He never expected that his previous words would be recorded by them in their entirety.
No wonder these elders tortured him; he was truly killed by Qin Fei and Li Yan this time.
What's even more infuriating is that he didn't even know who the other person was.
"I can give you a chance to rephrase your words now, but this is your only chance. Once you miss it, even a god couldn't save you," an elder of the Divine Martial Sect said expressionlessly.
The fact that their Shenwu Sect disciples had joined the Tianya Haijiao organization was a disgrace to them and could even damage the reputation of their entire sect.
If they don't thoroughly investigate such a big matter, they would be unworthy of their status as elders.
"boom!"
With the evidence irrefutable, the Shenwu Sect disciple finally couldn't hold back any longer. He kowtowed deeply to the three elders and then said with a sorrowful expression, "Elders, I was forced into this. They captured my parents and are using their deaths to blackmail me into working for them. I had no other choice."
"If I had any other options, why would I stoop to their level? You can investigate this matter yourselves."
Upon hearing this, the three elders of the Divine Martial Sect couldn't help but frown.
The Divine Martial Sect is not a family-based power; their disciples come from all walks of life. If what this guy said is true, then his mistakes can be forgiven.
After all, his joining the Tianya Haijiao organization did not directly harm the interests of their Shenwu Sect; it only tarnished their reputation.
Thinking of their reputation, one of the elders said in a low voice, "This time, they directly exposed this matter on the white cloth. I think they are deliberately trying to smear our Divine Martial Sect. Such wolfish ambitions deserve to be punished!"
Even if the people of their Divine Martial Sect were forced to join the Ends of the Earth organization, the other party could have simply told them about it in secret. There was no need to make it public knowledge.
Therefore, the reputational pressure that their Divine Martial Sect is currently under is actually deliberately imposed by the people who captured their disciples.
"Even if it's understandable that you joined the Tianya Haijiao organization, you should still pay the price for your actions. The reputation of our Shenwu Sect should not be tarnished by your actions alone."
At this point, the elder sitting in the middle immediately gave the order: "Guards, take him away to be tortured."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, the sense of relief that had just arisen in the heart of the Shenwu Sect disciple instantly turned into fear.
"Didn't you just say that my situation was understandable?"
"Why are you still torturing me?" he shouted.
"Just because there are extenuating circumstances doesn't mean we have to forgive you. We are all adults and need to be responsible for our actions. Since you wanted to secretly join the Tianya Haijiao organization, it means that you have already violated the rules of our Shenwu Sect. I have already shown leniency by not killing you on the spot, so you should be grateful for my mercy."
"I don't agree!"
"I……."
"Drag him away!"
The three elders were no longer willing to listen to this person's wailing and ordered their men to drag him away.
After the person was dragged away, the huge hall suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere was gradually becoming more and more oppressive.
The Divine Martial Sect is a top-tier power, but now they have a stain on their record. If they cannot erase this stain, it will be a sign of their incompetence.
"What do you two think about this matter?" the elder sitting in the middle asked.
"I think someone is deliberately targeting our Divine Martial Sect, trying to create trouble."
"I share that view."
"Then what do you think we should do?" the elder in the middle continued to ask.
"Our Divine Martial Sect is not one to be bullied. Since they want to harm us, we should retaliate. We can't suffer this loss in silence, or others will think we are easy to bully!"
"I think we can immediately send someone to investigate who left the person at our doorstep."
“We need to handle this matter, but now an even more critical issue is how to explain this to outsiders.”
It's estimated that many people outside already know that a group called "Tianya Haijiao" has appeared within their Shenwu Sect. If this matter isn't handled properly, outsiders might start to view the people of Shenwu Sect with prejudice.
This is something they absolutely cannot accept.
"Immediately issue a statement to the public, saying that someone is deliberately framing our Shenwu Sect, and at the same time release a high reward for clues about the mastermind behind it."
"I believe that with this combination of measures, not only will our suspicions be cleared, but it will also cause some trouble for those who want to harm us."
"Let's do it!"
The discussion of countermeasures took only half a minute, and the news spread in just one hour.
After all, as long as they are willing to pay the price, they can spread the news as quickly as they want.
Just moments before, rumors were circulating about the negative aspects of their Divine Martial Sect, but unexpectedly, a denial followed immediately. Public opinion is subtly shifting under the influence of those with ulterior motives.
"I knew it! How could someone from the Divine Martial Sect lower themselves to join some 'End of the Earth' organization? It turns out this was a premeditated frame-up."
"I have to say, this move was really clumsy. Anyone with eyes can see what it was all about."
"The bounty offered by the Divine Martial Sect this time is exceptionally generous. Even I am tempted by it. It's a pity I don't know the specific details behind the scenes, otherwise I would definitely make a fortune from it."
People outside the sect began to feel indignant on behalf of the Divine Martial Sect, feeling that this method of framing and slander was an insult to everyone's intelligence.
This news quickly reached the ears of Li Yan and Qin Fei.
"Brother Qin, why isn't this going the way we expected?"
Looking at Qin Fei, Li Yan's eyes revealed confusion.
The reason they publicly exposed that the Shenwu Sect disciple was a lackey of Tianya Haijiao was to get the Shenwu Sect to join the fight against Tianya Haijiao, and to put pressure on Tianya Haijiao so that its members would not dare to show their faces for a short period of time.
But now it seems things are developing in a direction they never expected.
Not only did the Divine Martial Sect not take action against the Tianya Haijiao organization, it even offered a reward for information about the two individuals.
Don't they care at all about their disciple joining the assassin organization?
"It can only be said that everyone cherishes their reputation and doesn't want to get tainted. Our previous approach was indeed a bit too rough," Qin Fei said after thinking for a moment.
