Ouyang Zi left, leaving behind the shocked elders. Legend has it that those with great missions will experience hardships that others cannot bear. Ouyang Zi's appearance meant that Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing were extraordinary. To make an object wait for thousands of years, it was akin to a deity descending from heaven to save the world. This was a superstition. However, regardless of whether there were any deities in this world or not, some people were destined to be extraordinary. The elders did not know whether they were happy or not. Regardless of what happened in the future, these two people must definitely be punished. Everyone was talking about punishing them, but there was no way to know how they would punish them.

The punishment was too lenient on the disciples, and the punishment was too heavy. Some old men were reluctant to part with it.

"These two people are my disciples. Let me decide the punishment, right?" The Sect Leader's name was He Fa, and upon seeing that everyone wasn't certain about a punishment for a long time, he immediately smiled.

"Although he is your disciple, Sect Leader, he concerns the discipline of the entire Ocean Viewing Sect. Sect Leader, please reconsider your decision." An old man said.

"Hu Feng, you even have questions for the Sect Leader?" Another old man answered.

"Yaogu, don't …"

"Alright, this old man is the Sect Leader." Seeing that Elder Hu Feng still wanted to argue with Yao Gu, He Angry said, and immediately turned around to leave, leaving behind the elders who had sunk into silence.

The truth was that after Ouyang Zi arrived, He Fa already knew how he would be punished. As for asking the opinions of these Elders, it was just a formality. As a Sect Leader, he had the authority to punish or not punish a disciple that hadn't committed any great sins.

When He Fa returned to his residence, Tian Jue and Hai Dong Qing were already kneeling outside his room. He did not even call out to them when he saw them, but instead, brewed a cup of tea for himself and kicked the chairs on the table.

Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue lowered their heads. They knew what kind of child they had made a mistake against, and what kind of child they were.

He Fa slowly walked to the chair and sat down. He carefully savored the tea. Finally, the tea was finished. He threw the tea cup to the side and returned to the table.

"Did you know your wrongs?" he asked with a smile.

"Disciple understands his wrongs!" Tian Juetian kowtowed as he spoke.

"What about you?" He Fa nodded at Tian Juetian, and looked at Hai Dongqing as he asked.

"Master, what's wrong with this disciple going out to do chivalry and righteousness and expanding his knowledge?" The gyrfalcon raised his head and asked as he stared at He Fa.

"I knew you were a thorn in the head. This time, the two of you left without informing anyone. When you left, you made me worry the most. You almost lost your life. Don't you know your wrongs?" He Fa was so angry that he immediately stood up and raised his hand, wanting to give Hai Dongqing a slap.

"Master does not know. If the two of us are not in danger this time, then all of these risks will take our lives. It has nothing to do with martial arts strength or strength." The gyrfalcon kowtowed.

It was not as if He Fa didn't know all of this, but if one's martial arts was better and one's stamina was better, then the greater one's age was, the lower the risk of going out. However, it didn't mean that there was no risk.

After the gyrfalcon's words, Pao Fa was immediately angered. He was the master, and Pao Fa was the disciple of the gyrfalcon. He was looking for trouble!

"Even if your intentions were correct and what you have done throughout the entire journey is almost the right thing to do, you were wrong if you did not say anything!" Furthermore, tomorrow when the punishment is announced, regardless of whether you, Hai Dongqing, realize it or not, you have to say that you are in the wrong.

"What is Master's punishment?" The gyrfalcon didn't care if He Fa was angry, he continued to ask.

At this moment, He Fa really wanted to send this fellow flying with a kick, but he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and told them his punishment. The two of them were extremely astonished. What kind of good thing was this?

Black lines appeared on He Fa's forehead when he saw the happy expressions of the two. 'This is a punishment after all. Can you be more serious?'

He Fa suppressed the anger in his heart and told them everything that had happened with Ouyang Zi. Only then did the two of them understand that they had other goals for this trip out, and they became even more excited.

Seeing their expressions, He Fa stood up unhappily. Then, he turned around and returned to his room, leaving behind the gyrfalcon and Tian Jue, who were kneeling in the wind. He knelt for no less than ten hours before he finally allowed them to get up.

The next day, the disciples of the Guan Hai Sect gathered at the drill ground, the Sect Leader sat on the inner and outer elders, the disciples stood in a neat row, this so-called scene of the biggest punishment made the disciples curious, there were also quite a few disciples who had a good relationship with the ones being punished, worried for the two of them, but the entire scene was very quiet.

The Sect Leader had informed the elders of the punishment beforehand, so as to avoid a retort that he found too light of the punishment to be difficult to deal with in front of the disciples.

"Have the He Clan's Hai Dongqing and He Clan's Tian Jue step forward to receive punishment!" An outer court elder stood up and shouted.

All of the disciples stepped aside to make way for Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue, who were amongst the disciples. Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue lowered their heads. That's right, this kind of lineup would definitely scare a rookie quite a bit. However, one person was happy that the two of them were together. This person was naturally their master, but their expressions were clearly panic-stricken! When the Sect Leader saw this, he smiled in relief. How could the other Elders not know that these two fellows stayed at the Sect Leader's residence the previous day? No matter what, he couldn't believe that these two didn't know the punishment.

Seeing that Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue had already kneeled down in front of them, that elder also sat down. The Sect Leader, He Fa Yi, changed from his amiable attitude to his serious one: "Hai Dongqing, Tian Jue, do you two admit your wrongs?"

"Disciple knows his wrongs!" The two of them kowtowed together and stuck their bodies to the ground.

"If you leave Kanghai before your age, how are you going to punish someone like that?" He Fa looked at Hu Feng, who stood up with an ugly expression.

"According to the rules of the Guan Hai Sect, these two are to be caned 100 times!" Hu Feng said.

"But the rules are set by the people. The two of them have done their chivalrous deeds and helped many people. Other than a lot of evil, Hai Dongqing was severely injured when she exterminated the evil, and she has yet to recover." Elder Ye obviously did not know about the situation and quickly said.

However, this Elder Ye's Godly Assistance Attack was really good. Even Yao Wu gave him a thumbs up.

"Yes, and the two of them caused great losses to our sect. How could we let them go so easily? The staff punishment of a hundred people is too light!" He slapped the armrest of his chair.

"His body is in pieces, and he is free to be punished by Master!" The duo said in unison.

"Humph, what a great 'Body Tearing Bone Shattering'. Hai Dongqing, Tian Jue, listen to my orders!" He Fa snorted coldly.

"Disciple is here!" The duo spoke in unison once more.

"The two of you did not abide by the rules, causing our sect to suffer heavy losses! Evicting the sect is too light, once Hai Dongqing recovers, the two of you will travel eastward to find a good weapon and not return to the sect! If you can't make it into the semi-finals of the Nine Prefectures' Grand Meeting two years from now, you must not return to the sect! As the two of you are members of the Guan Hai Sect, the Nine Prefectures Assembly represents the Guan Hai Sect. Therefore, the two of you can only use the Martial Arts of the Guan Hai Sect. "These two rules must not be missed!" As soon as He Fa finished speaking, all of the disciples widened their eyes. Wasn't this a bit too heavy …

But if they knew that Ouyang Zi had been here before, they wouldn't think that the punishment was too severe. The two of them were happy to be here, so how could they not be happy with the first punishment? But it had to be a sad, upset look, even though his heart was already bursting with joy.

He didn't know what the second person was, but having the first one was enough. If that was the case, then fighting in the Nine Prefectures wouldn't be enough to make the two of them worry.

However, Hu Feng didn't expect the Sect Leader to be the second one. Because the Sect Leader had only told them the first one, his complexion had become quite unsightly.

Not only Hu Feng, but even Yao Gu and the other elders looked at the Sect Leader in shock.

This punishment was really too heavy. After all, the best record in the history of the Ocean Viewing Sect was the one that almost made it to the semi-finals. The gap between a second-rate sect and a first-rate sect was very large. After the semi-finals, it would basically be a show between a first-rate sect and one of the five great sects. As for the first place, it would always be the Storm Sect.

Their second-rate sects had only gone through the motions of the Nine Prefectures' Grand Meeting, and they were only able to enter the semifinals with the help of immortals. If they couldn't enter the semifinals and couldn't return to the sect, they would be expelled from the sect. In the Central Plains, those who were expelled could not join another sect and would even be deprived of their martial arts skills.

However, what Ouyang Zi said about the item that would wait for a thousand years made He Fa very confident that the two of them would be able to enter the semi-finals, so he wasn't worried.

From the beginning to the end, even those who knew about the situation were fooled by the two. After the punishment was announced, He Fa let Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue follow him back to his residence. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell the disciples: "You've killed two chickens, you guys better take care of yourselves!"

When the crowd of disciples heard this, at first they felt that they could not commit the crime. After all, these hundred staffs were not allowed to be blocked using inner force, and it would not be easy for them to live the rest of their lives without being crippled after these hundred staffs.

Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing followed behind him. They didn't care what He Fa said. Who told them to call this Master? Who told him to punish the two of them so satisfactorily?
