Chapter 123
“Ding Bai!”
Su Xiuyi didn’t intend to stop after killing the elders. He called Ding Bai, the leader of the Hall of Penal Law, over.
“Leader.” Ding Bai hurried to stand in front of him. He was walking on eggshells, not daring to look at Su Xiuyi’s face.
“Why is the school so out of order? Why can’t they tell right from wrong anymore? Why hasn’t your Hall of Penal Law done anything about it?” Su Xiuyi asked.
“Leader.”
Ding Bai didn’t have the nerve to answer him. His forehead was covered in sweat.
“I’ll appoint a more capable person to take charge,” Su Xiuyi said coldly.
“Haotian,” Su Xiuyi called in a calm tone.
People couldn’t figure out what he was going to do. He said slowly, “According to your master, you’re mature and steady, able to handle great responsibility. That’s why I appointed you vice leader, but it turns out that you haven’t been impartial when dealing with the school’s affairs. From now on, you’re dismissed from the position of vice leader.”
The crowd was in uproar again.
Ning Haotian had been vice leader for a very short time. The school hadn’t even had the chance to announce it to the public, and at this moment Su Xiuyi dismissed him directly, not even looking him in the eye.
“Yes, leader.” Ning Haotian looked emotionless, but he wasn’t so calm inside at all! He was devouring himself with hatred!
If Jiang Chen hadn’t told everyone how his holy pulses were disappearing while his own were growing, this would have never happened.
However, no matter how angry he was, he didn’t have the nerve to leave the Natural Law School or challenge Su Xiuyi.
The school was too powerful. He wasn’t capable enough to become its enemy.
He could surely leave the school and go to another one.
But he wouldn’t, for the same reason Jiang Chen had.
The Black Dragon City and the Hundred Thousand Mountains were both located in the Province of Widepool. Comparing with the other places in the Fire Field, they were the closest to the Natural Law School.
If he went to another sect or school while Jiang Chen stayed and gained high status in the Natural Law School, Jiang Chen could lead numerous powerful men to attack the Black Dragon City to rescue his father.
“What’s more, the Peak of Heavenly King is really a mess. Both the death of Li Song and the mess Li Qin made involved your peak. You must rectify this. If you can’t, you’ll be dismissed,” Su Xiuyi said.
“Yes, leader.”
Not until then did Su Xiuyi speak to Jiang Chen, “You’re a disciple of the Natural Law School, which is to say, you’re ours. I know you’ve been wronged, but this is the sunshine behind the dark clouds. All these wrongs have been undone.”
Jiang Chen nodded. The leader had done a lot, so he had no more complaints.
But then, something occurred to Jiang Chen. He stared at Ning Haotian and said, “Leader, Ning Haotian destroyed three of my treasures.”
Before Su Xiuyi could answer, Ning Haotian said immediately, “Just give me a price.”
“Leader the Venerable, I had the stone statue and the Darkfire Lamp from the underground imperial mausoleum. I don’t know what their classes were. As for my pamphlet, it wasn’t a spiritual weapon, but a treasured one!” Jiang Chen said.
“A treasured weapon? You’re shameless!” Ning Haotian turned red and swore him.
There were nine classes for spiritual weapons, from class-one to class-nine.
Those above class-nine were treasured weapons.
Above treasured weapons, there were magic weapons, immortal weapons, and holy weapons.
A treasured weapon was priceless, far more expensive than a spiritual weapon.
Ning Haotian could compensate him for dozens of or even hundreds of class-nine spiritual weapons, but he couldn’t afford even one treasured weapon.
He didn’t believe Jiang Chen had truly had a treasured weapon. He thought the latter was only taking advantage of him.
Jiang Chen didn’t speak. He was waiting for Su Xiuyi’s reply.
Su Xiuyi took out the Abacus of Good Fortune again and moved the beads with his eyes narrowed, as if he were calculating the value of the Eight Groups of Spiritual Beings with the abacus.
Under Ning Haotian’s nervous gaze, Su Xiuyi said something that made him pale.
“It was a treasured weapon.”
However, what Su Xiuyi said next made Ning Haotian even more desperate.
“Not only the pamphlet, but also the stone statue and the Darkfire Lamp, were treasured weapons.”
Ning Haotian almost fell from the sky with fear.
