Seeing the silence of the other elders, Cao Xiong wanted to strike while the iron was still hot; he continued:
“If this was only a misunderstanding, it won’t be a grave punishment. We should sentence him to the Ghost Pavilion to meditate, facing a wall for half a year for being reckless and handling affairs impulsively!”
Hearing Cao Xiong’s words, Elder Sun grimaced, and he said:
“Ghost Pavilion?”
Cao Xiong went on:
“Even though the Ghost Pavilion appears to be sinister, but it is without danger. First Brother had experienced it himself, so I don’t need to say more. If we make him wall meditate in a different location, I’m afraid the other disciples will laugh at us for being too easy on him! Personally, I feel that the Ghost Pavilion is the most appropriate.”
At this point, Cao Xiong looked at Li Qi Ye, and he said:
“Plus, Li Qi Ye is protected by the Patriarch. Him going to the Ghost Pavilion is extremely fitting. The Ghost Pavilion was the area where the Patriarch suppressed evil ghosts and foreign Dao; this is just in time to borrow the Patriarch’s heavenly aura again to suppress the Ghost Pavilion!”
Within the elders, Elder Sun was the most supportive of Li Qi Ye. He said while he frowned:
“This… This matter is not fine.”
During the moment when Gu Tie Shou was still hesitating, Li Qi Ye glanced at Cao Xiong, smiled, and he calmly said:
“Since I have the Patriarch’s blessing, then what is there to be afraid of? Ghost Pavilion? So be it; this disciple is willing to accept this punishment!”
Staring at Li Qi Ye for a moment, Gu Tie Shou nodded his head in the end, and he said:
“Fine, since you are willing, then it will be the Ghost Pavilion. We’ll sentence you to wall meditation in the Ghost Pavilion for half a year; Protector Mo will be the overseer!”
Gu Tie Shou’s arrangement was simply excellent. Instead of saying that Protector Mo would be supervising Li Qi Ye, it is more accurate to say that Protector Mo would be protecting him.
After the verdict, Gu Tie Shou said in a serious manner:
“Li Qi Ye’s actions are reckless and completely deserving of punishment. Sectional Leader Zhou instigating the whole event, also needs to be punished. Without the ignorance and foolishness of Zhou, the group of Protector Hu wouldn’t have died in vain! So, take away his position, and he will no longer be assigned to any duties in the sect.”
Hearing this decision, Cao Xiong’s heart was bleeding blood. He had lost two disciples and three loyal sectional leaders. Currently at his side, there were few loyal hounds that were willing to do his bidding. The removal of Zhou’s sectional leader seat was a big loss to him. However, at this moment, he had no choice but to acquiesce; if one couldn’t bear the small matters, then it would ruin the grand scheme.
“Sectional Leader Zhou is ignorant and foolish, I also agree with big brother’s decision.”
Cao Xiong gritted his teeth, and he accepted Gu Tie Shou’s decision.
Even Cao Xiong had already accepted, so the other elders didn’t need to say anything. The decision became unanimously agreed upon.
The decision of the elders was quickly announced to all. In a flash, each and all of the disciples of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect had heard news of this. Many couldn’t help but to be without words because this matter was incredible.
