Chapter 597: Chapter 583: The Decision of the Holy Palace Master

"What!"

At this moment, not only the disciples and elders of Taiyi Palace were astonished, but even the Palace Master of Taiyi Palace had a gloomy expression on his face.

Prince Donghuang and Nangong Xingyu were causing trouble at the Holy Banquet, it was one thing to repeatedly threaten Wu Pojun, but now a scandal like this had erupted. It must be understood, all the forces present were reputable entities within Central State.

Their actions were tantamount to a fierce slap in the face of Taiyi Palace. As the Palace Master of the Holy Palace, he naturally felt humiliated.

"Nangong Xingyu, you resorted to despicable means to slander Lin Feng by twisting facts, that’s just too contemptible! Don’t think that just because you are from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, you can act recklessly in my Holy Palace. Release the disciple at once!" At this moment, a white-robed elder appeared as if through instant teleportation, his voice thundering as his withered palm shot towards Nangong Xingyu.

Boom!

A power of confinement exploded from his withered palm, a vast Emperor Realm aura blasted towards Nangong Xingyu.

Although Nangong Xing was not the current Iron Blood Emperor’s son, he was highly regarded for his terrifying aptitude, second only to the Emperor’s son; of course, he dared not injure Nangong Xingyu.

"Humph!" Nangong Xingyu snorted coldly and didn’t let go of Wu Pojun, an infinite brilliance of starlight rising around him, prepared to withstand the confinement power. Since he was ready to stand up for Xiao Ye, naturally he would not give up halfway.

Unexpectedly, a massive handprint descended from the sky, fiercely striking upon the body of this Emperor Realm Elder.

Pfft!

This Elder, who seemed invincible just moments before, shuddered as he was hit hard, blood spewing from his mouth, his aura rapidly weakening as he was flung sideways and smashed heavily into the ground. Kneeling on the ground, he looked up with a face filled with disbelief.

Because the person who stopped him was none other than the Palace Master of Taiyi Palace.

"Step down, don’t embarrass yourself here anymore!" The Palace Master of Taiyi Palace rose up from his seat and walked over the void towards the area, causing many Martial Artists from various forces in the square to have peculiar expressions, inwardly exclaiming that the Four Great Emperor Domains were indeed domineering, actually daring to challenge the authority of the Holy Palace Master.

"Tell me everything that happened, exactly as it occurred." The Palace Master of Taiyi Palace descended from the sky, standing before Nangong Xingyu like a divine being, his slender body emitting a tremendous suppression as if the entire heaven and earth were pressing down.

In truth, he had long known that with regards to Xiao Ye’s incident, Lin Feng and his group were in the wrong, evidenced by the fact that Wu Pojun returned with a story full of loopholes. But Lin Feng’s status was not simple; he was the chief amongst the devilish disciples of the Main Hall.

After Jun Shitian left, there were signs of decline amongst the younger generation of the Holy Palace, and of course, he did not want to execute Lin Feng for the sake of a disciple from the Earth Hall who had already died. That’s why he reluctantly blamed Xiao Ye, issuing a command by hand, which was tantamount to tacit approval of Lin Feng’s methods.

But now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had to handle this matter properly.

Nangong Xingyu’s pupils shrank.

The Palace Master of Taiyi Palace, truly one of the Peak Strong People of the True Spirit Continent, simply standing there, brought him a terrifying pressure.

Wu Pojun, who was held by Nangong Xingyu, realized he could no longer hide the truth and, with a face full of fear, recounted everything that happened.

As his story unfolded, Lin Feng who sat amongst the devilish disciples of the Main Hall, though still expressionless, clenched his fists within his long robe, his pupils swirling with a cold gleam.

Anyone who knew Lin Feng knew he was truly angry.

At the same moment, numerous Martial Artists in the square turned their gaze toward Lin Feng, their eyes filled with intrigued expressions.

The unexpected turn of events happening right now was far more interesting and exciting than the birthday celebration itself.

Meanwhile, they were all curious as to what could possibly make the Devilish First Disciple of the Main Hall lower his status to deal with an ordinary Disciple from the Earth Hall.

Bang!

After Wu Pojun recounted the whole incident, Nangong Xingyu, holding Wu Pojun in his hand, tossed him away like trash. Then he turned to the Holy Palace Master and spoke indifferently, "Holy Palace Master, all the matters have been clarified now, haven’t they?"

"My brother here is clearly the victim, yet he ended up being wrongfully accused and treated unfairly. What do you think should be done about this?"

At this instant, the square fell into a silence as dead as the grave, all eyes landing on the Holy Palace Master.

They had also heard Wu Pojun’s words, understood the twists and turns, and could easily discern that the incident was indeed plausible. Even they could tell that Wu Pojun’s previous evasive statements were full of holes. Yet, the Taiyi Palace Master actually believed him.

There was no need for further discussion; they all knew the Holy Palace Master must be showing bias for Lin Feng.

Now they wanted to see how the Taiyi Palace Master would deal with Lin Feng!

"Our Taiyi Palace, since its founding, has always been strict with its rules, rewarding the meritorious and punishing the guilty. We would never wrong a Disciple, nor would we let off anyone who has violated the Palace rules!" The Holy Palace Master fell silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth to speak, exuding an aura of immortality and authority.

Under the current circumstances, he absolutely could not show bias any longer.

"I hereby declare, as a Disciple of the Earth Hall, Wu Pojun has bullied his fellow Disciples and violated the rules of the Palace. Starting today, he is demoted to the Yellow Hall of the Four Main Halls and deprived of all statuses and privileges. He is not allowed to participate in the joint assessment of the Four Main Halls for ten years!" The Holy Palace Master announced.

Boom!

These words caused Wu Pojun to tremble all over, his face turning extremely pale, a look of utter despair on his face.

Not being allowed to participate in the joint assessment of the Four Main Halls for ten years meant that he would have no chance of returning to the Earth Hall during this period, and for the full decade, he could only enjoy the benefits of a Yellow Hall Disciple, which, to him, was even more severe than being directly expelled from the Holy Palace.

"As a Disciple of the Main Hall, although Lin Feng did not directly take part in this matter, he is still inexcusable. Starting from today, he shall not enjoy the benefits of a Main Hall Disciple for half a year," the Taiyi Palace Master continued.

Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered with surprise upon hearing this, looking at the Holy Palace Master with astonishment.

He truly did not expect the other party would actually deal with Lin Feng so decisively, and the severity of the punishment was relatively strong too.

After all, the most attractive aspect of being a Main Hall Disciple was the benefits of the Main Hall.

"As for Xiao Ye, having been treated unfairly by me before, I specifically allow Xiao Ye to enter the Emperor Valley for two hours as compensation," the Holy Palace Master said in his next breath, causing Xiao Ye to be slightly stunned, followed by a quickening of his breath and a fervent look in his eyes.
