Primordial Cultivator

"Is there a problem, Elder Jing?" The sect leader of the sect, Kong Yusheng asked.

Elder Jing nodded her head.

"Un, Yang Wei is not here and he\'s not the type to be absent in an important event, especially when I said that he must show up in time." Elder Jing then said.

"Yang Wei? Is that the person you recommended to accompany you to the mystery realm?"

"Mhmm, I shall head out to look for him and if he happens to oversleep then I shall punish him." Elder Jing answered and left the Lecture Hall swiftly.

Kong Yusheng smiled as he watched Elder Jing\'s back from afar.

\'Little Jing seemed to become brighter after exploring the mystery realm.\' Kong Yusheng exclaimed inwardly as he stroked his beard and asked the other disciples to wait patiently.

Meanwhile, back in the Disciplinary Hall, Elder Shan held a heavenly appearance that seemed to be emitting a graceful aura smiled at Yang Wei.

"You can explain your side of the story now, Yang Wei." Elder Shan permitted Yang Wei.

Yang Wei nodded his head.

"I was returning back to my courtyard and hoped to rest when Xia Tingfeng and a bunch of other outer disciples were gathering at my doorstep." Yang Wei said and continued.

"Afterward, Xia Tingfeng decided to attack me without explaining anything and as a normal human being, I fought back and gave him a small lesson."

Sometime later, once Yang Wei finished explaining the entire story and how Elder Guo acted on an impulse without any logical reason, he asked Elder Shan to give him justice.

Elder Shan nodded her head as she glanced at Elder Guo. "Do you have anything else to say for yourself, Elder Guo?"

"E-Elder Shan, I am innocent. Yang Wei is spouting lies and tried to blame it on me instead," Elder Guo cupped his fist as he denied Yang Wei\'s story.

"Heh, Elder Guo, you must have forgotten that there were many outer disciples in the area at that time and heard your words." Yang Wei smirked as he reminded Elder Guo kindly.

Elder Guo shuddered slightly before regaining his composure.

He was a sect elder and no outer disciples would be dumb enough to accuse him of an outer disciple like Yang Wei.

Hence, he scoffed in anger and shouted, "Hmph, then shall we get those so-called witnesses and interrogate them one by one?"

Elder Guo was confident that no one would dare to cross him because he had a grand elder backing him. This was the main reason why he was able to act arrogantly in the sect and not have to worried about being punished.

However, he was still afraid of Elder Shan because her backing was directly from the sect leader.

"Since that\'s the case then we shall summon the witness." Elder Shan said and it didn\'t even take a few minutes before multiple outer disciples came inside.

"E-Elder Shan already have them waiting outside?" Elder Guo mumbled softly as he didn\'t expect the witness to show up this quickly.

Once all the outer disciples came in and bowed in respect to Elder Shan, they quickly stood still and waited for orders.

"Now that we have the witnesses here, let me ask them one question," Elder Shan said and took a deep breath before glaring at them fiercely.

"What happened in the outer courtyard and did Yang Wei really speak in a disrespectful tone when being confronted by Elder Guo." Elder Shan asked as she imposed a dreadful aura upon them.

She was warning them that if they dared to lie in front of her then the consequences would be obvious.

The outer disciples sweated nervously as they secretly glanced at Elder Guo in fear.

"You don\'t have to worry about being punished if you speak the truth." Elder Shan suddenly said, almost like she knew what the outer disciples were thinking.

"Yes, you don\'t have to be afraid at all when you\'re only speaking the truth," Elder Guo added with a bright smile on his face.

However, for the outer disciples, that smile from Elder Guo was akin to a death threat.

"I-It\'s Yang Wei\'s fault. Elder Guo was being polite and was trying to investigate the incident of Xia Tingfeng."

The outer disciples quickly shouted in unison and pointed their fingers at Yang Wei.

"Hahaha, the outer disciples were truly wise and had their eyes wide open to know who\'s in the right and who\'s in the wrong." Elder Guo laughed heartily when the outer disciples sided with him and pushed the blame onto Yang Wei.

Elder Shan nodded her head and turned toward Yang Wei. "Do you have anything else to say?"

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders. "What can I say when the outer disciples are a bunch of cowards that are afraid of a sect elder. They don\'t even care about right and wrong except for their pathetic life."

Yang Wei\'s tone was cold but he didn\'t become angry from such a scenario to occur.

Based on the outer disciples\' reaction toward Elder Guo, Yang Wei already knew they would lie and get into Elder Guo\'s side to curry favor.

After all, he was only an outer disciple without any powers and if they think further, he was a competitor to them as well.

"Look at his attitude, Elder Shan. Please punish Yang Wei thoroughly- no in fact, let\'s kick him out of the sect and cripple his cultivation," Elder Guo bowed down as he asked Elder Shan to extract punishment.

At the same time, Elder Guo secretly sent a mental transmission to the other frightened outer disciples, asking them to agree with his words.

The outer disciples had no backbone as they quickly bowed in unison and asked Elder Shan to cripple Yang Wei.

Suddenly, an angry female voice echoed from the outside, shocking everyone.

"I want to see who dares to punish Yang Wei on my watch."
