Chapter 2669: Harming Fellow Disciples, What Is the Punishment?

"Things are a bit troublesome."

"Indeed. Tell me… did this Xiao Fan actually kill Wen Shi or not?"

"Who knows…"

"Who could possibly know about this…"

"…"

After Xiao Fan and his group left, the many Disciples in the Task Hall discussed it heatedly. If they had previously doubted that Xiao Fan had the strength to kill Wen Shi, they certainly would not think so now!

Just a moment ago, Xiao Fan had repelled Wen Xing with a single strike!

He absolutely had the strength to suppress Wen Shi!

Wen Xing, who was still in the Task Hall, had a livid expression. Wen Shi was dead, and he himself had lost his position as a Task Hall deacon!

For the Wen Family, this matter could be described as losing both the girl and the soldiers—a total loss!

"Dammit… you little beast, you must die!" Wen Xing gritted his teeth viciously, cursing Xiao Fan continuously in his heart, hoping that the other party would be slain by Immortal Lord Wen Zhen!

Kongchen Palace, Main Hall.

The Palace Master of Kongchen Palace sat high above, gazing at Xiao Fan, as well as Immortal Lord Wen Zhen and Immortal Lord Yulong…

Furthermore, the Elders present here were not just Immortal Lord Yulong and Immortal Lord Wen Zhen; Immortal Lord De Ye and several other Elders were also present.

"What exactly is going on?" the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace asked in a deep voice.

"Palace Master, this Xiao Fan killed a Disciple of my Wen Family. I want an explanation for this matter," Immortal Lord Wen Zhen stated.

"Palace Master, this Disciple is innocent. I did not kill Wen Shi!" Xiao Fan bowed with cupped hands and said in a deep voice.

"In the presence of the Palace Master, you still dare to be stubborn?" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen sneered.

Inside the main hall, the many Elders remained silent. The fact that Immortal Lord Wen Zhen dared to bring Xiao Fan here meant he had absolute confidence that he could find a reason to eliminate Xiao Fan!

Immortal Lord Yulong stood to the side, remaining silent. The matters that followed no longer had anything to do with him.

That was the matter of Xiao Fan slaying Wen Shi.

Immortal Lord De Ye took a deep look at Xiao Fan and sighed… This lad really knows how to cause trouble.

Likewise, the group of Kongchen Palace Elders in the main hall were also astonished. The Wen Family Disciple who had died was Wen Shi, a Prodigy Disciple who was only half a step away from the Nirvana Realm.

Could he really have been slain by Xiao Fan?

If it were true… wouldn't that prove that Xiao Fan's Aptitude was far superior to Wen Shi's?

The gaze of the Kongchen Palace Elders toward Xiao Fan revealed even more appreciation.

"What is the story? Xiao Fan, you speak," the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace said in a deep voice.

As the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace, he naturally had some understanding of these matters.

Wen Shi was just a piece of trash; his death was of no consequence… The only trouble was that Wen Shi was a member of the Wen Family.

Otherwise, this matter would not have caused any trouble.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, the matter is like this…" Xiao Fan cupped his hands and recounted the sequence of events once more.

"Palace Master, this Disciple was wholeheartedly dedicated to Kongchen Palace, but I encountered Wen Shi on the way, and he wanted to kill this Disciple… Considering that he was a member of the Wen Family and a Disciple of Kongchen Palace, I did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, so I spared his life… But as for why he eventually died, this Disciple truly does not know!" Xiao Fan said, looking heartbroken.

Xiao Fan minimized the important details, shifting all the responsibility onto Wen Shi and Wen Xing, presenting himself entirely as an innocent party.

"Yulong, is this matter as Xiao Fan says?" the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace asked in a deep voice.

"That is correct… I have already punished Wen Xing," Immortal Lord Yulong nodded, admitting it openly.

"Hmm… abusing power for personal gain and harming fellow Disciples—they deserve to be killed," the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Wen Zhen's expression turned livid. Was the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace intending to protect Xiao Fan?

Since Wen Xing deserved to be killed, wouldn't the instigator of this matter, Wen Shi, deserve to die even more?

In the main hall, the group of Kongchen Palace Elders remained silent. They had all understood the Palace Master's meaning; he wanted to protect Xiao Fan.

"Palace Master, the person who died is from my Wen Family… and furthermore, he was my great-grandson," Immortal Lord Wen Zhen said in a deep voice. "Even if Wen Shi was in the wrong, he should have been left to the Palace to handle, not slain at will."

Hearing this, the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace's expression darkened slightly, and he asked, "Then what is your meaning?"

"If Wen Shi was not killed by Xiao Fan, then this matter can be dropped… If it was, then Xiao Fan has deceived us, and on top of that, privately harmed a fellow Disciple. What should his punishment be?" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen said coldly.
