As the barrier disappeared, all the disciples eagerly watched, full of anticipation. Although they hadn’t heard the content of the discussion, they knew it must have been about how to deal with Remus.
The forthcoming words from the Grandmasters would essentially be a verdict.
It was Grandmaster Aurelius who spoke first. He stated solemnly, “After our discussion, we have concluded that this matter is of great importance! To uphold the rules and maintain a pure cultivation environment, severe punishment is necessary!”
A glimmer of satisfaction appeared in the eyes of the Monington disciples.
In fact, they had anticipated that outcome.
How could Remus live after killing a Monington disciple?
Yet, hearing the official statement still excited them, as it was akin to a formal sentencing. The sacred land disciples couldn’t help but feel regret.
Remus was someone who had caused an immortal to appear but was now potentially faced with a grim future over a single error.
It was truly a pity.
“But,” Grandmaster Aurelius’s voice took on a new tone, “Given his current unconscious state, taking action now won’t serve as a definitive stand on justice. Plus, rushing this matter goes against our principles of due process…”
“As such, we have decided to detain favonovel.com for the time being and address his case later. Seize him!”
The decision to detain favonovel.com was not solely punitive but also protective.
In the wake of such a scandal, the risk of Monington disciples seeking retribution through assassination was too high.
At his command, two guards bypassed Glinda, moving to escort Remus to confinement.
The sacred land disciples swiftly parted to allow their passage.
Glinda felt powerless to intervene, favonovel.com protests expected to fall on deaf ears.
Morris and the others wanted to speak up, reminding everyone that favonovel.com was a disciple favored by Master Hewitt and someone whose actions had caused an immortal to appear. Yet, they chose silence over drawing unwanted attention in the presence of so many high-ranking officials.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted. “Wait!”
A Monington disciple stepped up. He struggled to say, “Deputy Saint Masters, Masters, Pavilion Head, Hall Head… I implore you, for the sake of our laws, to execute favonovel.com immediately. His mere existence defies Monington’s order!”
His plea ignited a chorus of support from other Monington disciples, driven by a starkly different sentiment than that of the sanctified disciples as their rage was palpable.
They collectively pleaded, “Such an arrogant and shameless person shouldn’t be allowed to live in this world any longer. We boldly request his immediate execution!”
“Execute favonovel.com now!”
“Yes! Execute favonovel.com now!”
They bowed in unison, echoing the sentiment.
Seeing that, Grandmaster Aurelius, Grandmaster Sylvanus, and the other two Deputy Saint Masters, along with Masters like Eythor and Erjon, looked visibly disturbed.
They had already declared that the issue would be postponed.
Why continue to press the issue?
Was it an attempt to corner us into a hasty decision?
Yet, as they had previously discussed, it was crucial that the disciples’ training not suffer from this turmoil.
Grandmaster Aurelius stated firmly, “I understand your feelings, but let’s not rush. As I’ve said, we will impose a severe punishment after! Seize favonovel.com now!”
“Wait!” The Monington disciple spoke up again.
He looked up to ask, “Deputy Saint Masters, Masters, Hall Lord, Pavilion Head, aren’t you curious how Remus managed to kill Marc?”
His words caught everyone off guard.
They had assumed the killing was a mere act of ambush, but could there be more to the story?
The sacred land disciples were keenly interested. They knew the outcome but not the process leading up to it.
Before anyone could respond, the Monington disciple continued, “This Remus is not only a peak Golden Stage cultivator but also… A Martial Imperial martial artist! Can we really allow such a brute to exist within the Monington Sacred Land? My plea stands, execute favonovel.com now!”
