Chapter 1107: 1106: Holy Mountain Punishment Hall

Tang Feng returned to the sect with half of the outer disciples. It was supposed to be a flawless defensive campaign, but since the inner disciples returned first, the glory of the victory was given to them. Thus, when Tang Feng and his group returned, no one from the sect came to greet them.

The status of the outer disciples is indeed very low; in the eyes of the higher elders, they are dispensable.

It was believed that the contribution came from the inner disciples, especially those with strong backgrounds, who quickly soared to prominence, exceptionally becoming core disciples.

So, what could Tang Feng say about this?

Fairness is something that doesn’t exist in the outer domain; only if your abilities are strong enough can you draw others’ attention.

Tang Feng reported to the Outer Elder Hall, which promptly acknowledged his efforts and achievements over the past five years, and decided to promote him to Inner Sect Elder.

Tang Feng accepted the promotion, but his residence did not change.

To him, where he lived didn’t make much of a difference.

With his array path capabilities, he could easily create a grotto heaven not inferior to the Ninety-nine Layers of Heaven.

However, he did not do so because it wasn’t in his nature to stay long in one place.

The purpose of coming to Shenyang Sacred Mountain was to leverage its intelligence. Whenever a secret realm or ruins were discovered, it could be relayed back to the sect at the first moment. As a disciple of the Sacred Mountain, one would have the opportunity to enter.

This is precisely what Tang Feng valued. As for fame and fortune, to be honest, they weren’t of much use, especially in the outer domain dominated by domain beasts and star divine beasts.

The main reason why these two types of beasts have not appeared on this planet is the protective great formation, along with the cleansing by Holy Divine Realm experts on nearby planets, making domain beasts and star divine beasts dare not approach here.

Otherwise, being incessantly attacked by beasts would be utterly bothersome, leaving no peace for cultivation.

It is precisely because it is absolutely safe that it attracts an endless stream of talents, thereby strengthening the power of the Sacred Mountain.

Only three days after becoming an inner sect elder, several law enforcement officers from the Execution Hall arrived on the peak.

"Elder Tang, someone has accused you of brutally killing fellow disciples. Following the order of the hall master, you are specially summoned to the hall to verify the matter. Please come!" These individuals were somewhat restrained, for upon entering, they noticed formations on the peak, which could work against them. If they acted recklessly, they wouldn’t be able to leave, hence their relative politeness.

"Let’s go." Tang Feng put down his book and followed the law enforcement officers to the Punishment Hall.

At this time, both sides of the Punishment Hall were filled with officers, while a stern-faced middle-aged man sat on the high platform in the center, his eyes exuding authority. This was not an act, but a demeanor cultivated over time, imposing without anger.

Two people sat on the lower left side; they were the true inheritor elders Tang Feng had seen before. The lower right side was occupied by the execution recorder, responsible for documenting criminal cases. This person appeared quite plain, but such individuals were often not simple.

"Tang Feng, I am the hall master of the Punishment Hall, Zhaoyang. Based on the investigation by True Inheritor Elders Yu and Fang, you are accused of murdering two true disciples, Bai Zijin and Luo Yangtian. Do you have any defense?"

"To impose a charge, any pretext will do. I am not only innocent but have the merit of defending the city. Please investigate thoroughly, Hall Master." Tang Feng smiled.

"Elder Yu, Elder Fang, present your evidence."

"Tang Feng, my disciple met his end after arriving at the garrison. They were clearly seen meeting him, and many can testify to that, with evidence captured on the imaging stone.

The situation of the descending true disciples on that day was recorded, which indeed included Tang Feng and another elder.

Elders Fang and Yu looked enraged; they had been deceived, and this kid definitely had an issue, "Hall Master, please preside with justice."

"This case lacks sufficient evidence; the imaging stone did not indicate Elder Tang murdering fellow disciples, hence it cannot be adopted. Dismiss the case. Elder Fang, Elder Yu, this must not happen again." The hall master of the Punishment Hall stood up and left.

Tang Feng was a bit stunned, not expecting the matter to resolve so smoothly. The circumstances shouldn’t have been like this; weren’t the two elders aiming to kill him? How could it be resolved so easily?

Coming back to his senses, Tang Feng felt a lot of resentment towards the two old men. Since they were enemies, they shouldn’t blame him, "You two, be careful; not everyone can act so casually."

"Kid, don’t get cocky. We will find evidence, and then let’s see how you deny it." Elder Yu sneered.

"Then you two take your time." Tang Feng smiled faintly and left the Punishment Hall.

"Damn it! I dare say the death of our disciples is definitely related to that kid. How dare an inner sect elder ignore us? Hmph, let’s see how I’ll deal with him." Elder Fang gave an evil grin, having concocted a plan in his heart. Since the Punishment Hall couldn’t kill him, they would use their own methods.

Isn’t he promoted to an inner sect elder? Next, he has to pass a test. Only by meeting the strength requirement can he receive the stipend. They would deal with him during the test.

The two exchanged a look and couldn’t help but laugh because the person in charge of the test was their disciple.

Tang Feng had no knowledge of this; of course, he could opt not to take the test. Without passing, he wouldn’t receive the monthly stipend. Although he didn’t care much for it, refusing what was freely given didn’t seem sensible.

So he would still set aside some time to take the test, as it posed no difficulty for him.

In the following days, Tang Feng stayed atop the peak. Since it was his living environment, it needed to reflect his style. After about a month, the transformation was mostly complete, and the entire peak took on a whole new look.

Upon entry, one could immediately feel the dense divine element, with purity not at all inferior to the higher realms.

Once satisfied, Tang Feng went to the Inner Sect Elder Hall.

These inner sect elders, upon seeing him, showed no expression. They contemplated how many years of cultivation it took them to achieve the elder position, while Tang Feng surpassed the hurdle of outer elder in just a few short years. Frankly, most were quite envious and wondered why guarding a garrison allowed for promotion. They were not convinced.

Today this kid came, just in time to see him make a fool of himself. They did not believe that Tang Feng, who became outer elder exceptionally, could pass the test.

Not to mention that someone had tampered with it, increasing the potency tenfold, presumably to claim Tang Feng’s life.

"Tang Feng, you have an hour to pass three tests to certify." With that, they opened the side door to the test hall.

Tang Feng walked in without hesitation.

"That kid is done for."

Some people, after glimpsing the test contents, all looked sympathetically at the hall door. The strongest inner sect elder only passed threefold the basic test, yet Tang Feng faced tenfold. Observing this, some understood it was clear that Tang Feng was being framed.

Unfortunately, no one dared to question it. Offering help without familial or friendly relations might endanger one’s own life.

Everyone chose silence; the tenfold test intensity was essentially a death sentence.

For never had anyone heard of someone passing such a test, thus the crowd only grew, coming to watch the spectacle. Naturally, some were there to cheer for Tang Feng. Now, in the Sacred Mountain, those who were genuinely kind to outer disciples were exceedingly scarce.

Therefore, the disadvantaged side hoped Tang Feng would come out successfully.

Inside, Tang Feng was encountering some troubles.
