Chapter 191: Scolding Fang Qiu
The old man's words touched everyone's heart. When it came to dealing with the thirty-six thieves, the Sanyi Sect also had the right to make the decision. Wu Gensheng was their target to be killed, and even if the rest of the rebels were killed by them, the other sects present would not dare to turn against them.
Hearing the old man's question, Cheng Zhen did not dare to neglect this senior whom his master respected during his lifetime, and directly expressed his thoughts:
"You elders can deal with them however you want, kill them or keep them, it's up to you. I need to make one thing clear, those monsters can only survive if they are disabled and imprisoned in the sect forever and under strict supervision by you."
"Of course, if the seniors are too exhausted to watch over or kill us, then we in the Sanyi Sect wouldn't mind destroying them on the way to defeat Wu Gensheng."
"As for your other ideas, whether to hunt them down or punish them severely, as long as they do not conflict with my requirements, I will not interfere and let you handle your own private affairs."
The famous bigwigs in the field were actually divided into three factions when it came to dealing with the issue of the Thirty-Six Thieves.
The Tianshi Mansion, the Tang Sect, and the Huode Sect preferred severe punishment, so they readily accepted Cheng Zhen's request and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Shuzi Sect and Yanwu Hall hope to execute the evildoers who colluded with the devil to prevent future troubles;
The remaining Shangqing and Wudang sects remained neutral. To them, both severe punishment and execution were within their acceptable range, and they even preferred the latter option.
Thanks to Jiang Mo's notorious reputation, the Sanyi Sect had the highest say in this meeting. Even though Cheng Zhen was only a junior, his words and deeds represented the will of the entire sect and had the final say.
The implication is very clear. No matter which force it is, if they want to shelter a traitor, they will have to destroy his cultivation and imprison him for life. If they cannot do these two things, the Sanyi Sect will do it for them and get rid of him.
At the same time, Cheng Zhen neither affirmed nor rejected the idea of the old hall master Yan Wu and Hu Tu who insisted on hunting down and killing thirty-six people, leaving it to them to make their own decision.
As long as they want to continue the pursuit, from the perspective of justice, the sects present cannot openly intervene and oppose it. They can only pray that the disciples can be found as soon as possible and forcibly detained.
".Master Nephew, don't blame me for not reminding you. If these evil obstacles cause disasters in the future, I wonder if you will regret your decision today?"
There was a hint of displeasure in Hutu's voice. He even killed his own son. He was filled with grief and anger, and now he was determined to kill all the accomplices who had colluded with him.
"According to Sect Leader Hu, does that mean that our Sanyi Sect needs to clean up the mess for other sects?"
Cheng Zhen met the other party's questioning gaze and said calmly:
"The fault for not taking good care of the disabled and causing a disaster is the negligence of the sect they belong to;"
"As for the matter of hunting down the thirty-six thieves, I think you, Sect Leader Hu, don't need to care too much about the attitude of the Sanyi Sect."
"In this matter, we have definitely killed more people than your Shuzi Sect. If you want to vent your dissatisfaction, you must at least have the qualifications."
A cold voice echoed throughout the venue. Cheng Zhen changed his gentle demeanor and confronted the head of the Shuzi Sect head-on. Lu Jin and Zhuge Yu felt instantly happy as they watched their senior brother commanding all seven sects with great power.
The other leaders all knew what to do and remained silent. Even they could not handle the sharpness displayed by this young man.
Hu Tu's face turned ashen and he was so angry that his teeth were itching. He was even more annoyed when he saw Tianshi, Tang Bingwen and old man Huo Dezong who were planning something. Everyone had reached an agreement, but this young man came out to disrupt the situation.
The more Hu Tu thought about it, the angrier he became. He said coldly:
"Then I wonder how many people you have executed, nephew? I'm afraid you are just bluffing when making such a commotion here."
"bluff?"
In response to his doubts, Cheng Zhen suddenly smiled, his words were a little cold, and he teased mercilessly: "I think you, Master Hu, are confused. Do you think that anyone can offend the reputation of our Sanyi Sect?"
"Then why do you condone those evil beasts?!" Hu Tu couldn't hold back his anger and almost burst into curses.
"Connivance? What a joke!"
Cheng Zhen responded coldly: "I think it doesn't go your way. It's not your turn to tell the Trinity how to do things."
"I told you, you are not qualified."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the famous Hu Tu was criticized so badly that he could not save face. Seeing that the conflict between the two sides was becoming more and more intense, the old hall master Yan Wu hurriedly tried to mediate and was about to give advice, but it was too late.
"Please open your eyes and take a look."
Cheng Zhen took out a piece of letter paper that he had just received not long ago from his arms. Blue and white Qi flowed from his fingertips, covering the thin paper.
He threw the letter casually, and it cut through the air like a sharp cold light, shooting straight forward.
"snort-!"
Hu Tu raised his hand to catch it, and a bloody line was drawn on it. He spread out the letter paper, and what caught his eyes were names crossed out in red.
At the same time, Cheng Zhen's voice sounded again.
"All the demons who drew the red line are dead. May I ask, Master Hu, you just killed a demon. Why are you so arrogant and come to teach me how to do things? Are you trying to take advantage of your seniority?"
"Are you still taking advantage of the fact that my two uncles are not here?"
Hutu was speechless for a moment. Looking at the 14 people who died on the list, his whole body was trembling. He was originally burning with rage, but at that moment, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe, and he barely sobered up a lot.
He couldn't find any reason to refute even the harsh reprimand. The efficiency of Trinity Sect was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
The anger receded like a tide, and Hutu realized that he was so overwhelmed by anger that he brought the negative emotions of losing his son into the conversation at the meeting. He also understood the reason why Cheng Zhen was dissatisfied.
The Thirty-Six Thieves Oath of Brotherhood was originally a disaster caused by disciples from various major sects, which attracted the entire righteous path to attack. The Sanyi Sect did not want to take over this mess, but executed some of the traitors. It was nothing more than a warning to others that anyone who colluded with Wu Gensheng would suffer the same fate.
But Hutu committed a big taboo. He tried to use the reason that the remnants of the party would cause chaos in the future to force the Trinity Sect to execute all the traitors according to his ideas in order to appease his hatred.
Cheng Zhen has reached the end of the second level of Rebirth Against the Odds, and he is qualified to be on an equal footing with all the seniors present.
In the situation where Jiang Mo seemed unable to break out, there was no doubt that he was the apparent head of the Trinity Sect.
After seeing Hu Tu's plan, he could not tolerate it at all. How could the First Xuanmen be used as a tool by you? That's why Cheng Zhen accused him of being unqualified several times.
This is the rule of the martial arts world. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. Without absolute overwhelming strength, why do you ask other sects to act according to your wishes?
Only Cheng Zhen who came today was easier to talk to. If it were Jiang Mo, he would have slapped him to death long ago.
