Li Xueqing's words resonated with conviction.
However, after hearing this, everyone looked at each other, silent as cicadas in winter, and no one dared to be the first to respond, only remaining silent.
In this silence, the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall bit his teeth and stood out, steeling himself.
After all, according to the rules, if this matter were to be strictly investigated, it would indeed fall within the scope of the Enforcement Hall's responsibilities.
Moreover, Li Xueqing was once the old superior of the Enforcement Hall. Now that she had spoken, it was really difficult for the Enforcement Hall to pretend not to know and stay out of it.
The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall cleared his throat, coughed twice, and said:
"I have indeed heard some related rumors."
"However… whether these rumors are true or false still needs rigorous investigation. As of now, the Enforcement Hall has not received any accusations from disciples."
"Furthermore… if the relationship between Xiong Ba and other disciples is consensual and there is no coercion, according to the sect rules, there are no clear penalties for such matters."
"The Enforcement Hall has always acted in accordance with the sect rules, I'm afraid…"
The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall's words were slightly hesitant, but he still explained the difficulties clearly.
In short, to convict Liang Jin, there must be conclusive evidence!
Especially ironclad evidence that can prove Liang Jin forced junior brothers and sisters to have relationships!
Only in this way can the Enforcement Hall have the authority to intervene.
Otherwise, the Enforcement Hall really has no right to interfere.
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone adhered to the attitude of "punishing violations of sect rules according to the law; if it is only a moral flaw, it is inconvenient to intervene."
Li Xueqing snorted disdainfully after hearing this and said:
"Evidence will naturally be collected by someone with dedication."
"But this matter has an extremely bad influence and seriously damages the reputation of my Dragon Transformation Sect."
"In particular, it will make a group of disciples feel that as long as they have power, they can act recklessly. Over time, my Dragon Transformation Sect will surely lose the hearts of the people."
"When the evidence is conclusive, I hope that everyone can prioritize the overall situation of the Dragon Transformation Sect and expel this black sheep!"
After speaking, Li Xueqing flung her sleeves and left, leaving everyone in place with a helpless expression.
It seemed that a fierce struggle was about to break out between Elder Li and Liang Jin, like a dragon and tiger fighting, about to erupt.
… … … …
On the other side.
Liang Jin had already returned to his residence.
As soon as he entered, he couldn't wait to rush to the training room, open the medicine box, and take out the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill from it.
"Is this last remaining divine pill in the world really that magical?"
Liang Jin's heart was full of anticipation.
He knew that Elder Qingnang had extremely high standards. Even when he took out the invaluable Blue Soul Jade to gamble with him, he couldn't catch his eye.
At that moment, Liang Jin did not hesitate to send the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill into his mouth, and then quickly sat cross-legged, running his cultivation method to fully digest the pill's effects.
Previously, after many experiments, Liang Jin had already determined that no matter which clone absorbed the medicinal effect, the effect would apply to all clones and the main body.
That is to say, as long as this clone successfully digests and absorbs the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill, then his other clones and the main body can directly benefit and enjoy the effects after the pill is digested.
Because of this, Liang Jin directly consumed this precious divine pill without reservation.
As soon as the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill fell into his stomach, the strong medicinal effect quickly appeared in Liang Jin's body.
In an instant, he felt as if a raging fire was burning in his abdomen, and the fire became more and more intense, quickly spreading from the abdomen to the whole body.
At this time, Liang Jin was hot all over, unbearably dry, and his skin became flushed, like a freshly cooked shrimp.
As soon as the sweat oozed from the pores, it was instantly evaporated into water vapor by the high temperature, so that his whole person looked like he was steaming.
Liang Jin only felt that his internal organs, muscles, and bones were all burned in the raging fire.
At first, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
However, as time went on, the pain became more and more intense, as if the whole person was thrown into a steelmaking furnace to completely refine him.
"Ah! ! !"
Finally, Liang Jin could no longer bear this terrifying heat and screamed in pain.
He suddenly stood up, rushed out of the training room regardless of everything, and plunged into the large water tank in the yard.
The moment he entered the water, Liang Jin felt much more comfortable.
However, his entry into the water was like throwing a red-hot iron block into the water.
The water in the tank quickly heated up, steaming, and soon began to bubble and boil.
As the water temperature continued to rise, the evaporation rate of the water accelerated, and the water level in the tank dropped sharply.
At the same time, the high-temperature heat in Liang Jin's body became more and more intense and difficult to suppress.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the water tank could not withstand the impact of the high temperature and instantly shattered.
At this time, there was no water flowing out of the water tank. Instead, it was a cloud of misty steam that quickly spread to the surrounding area.
Liang Jin flashed, used the "Clumsy Speed of Soldiers" technique, and sprinted towards the seaside with all his strength.
Under the full display of this technique, his linear speed was extremely fast.
It took almost no time for Liang Jin to come to the edge of the cliff.
He did not hesitate, jumped up, and jumped from the cliff into the sea.
After falling into the cold sea water, Liang Jin's body slowly sank.
He endured the discomfort of his body and remained motionless, because as long as there was a slight movement, the pain caused by the high-temperature heat would make him unbearable.
In this way, Liang Jin slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Only in the vast sea of massive sea water can he barely withstand the pain of the medicinal effect tempering his body.
Strings of bubbles continuously emerged from Liang Jin's body, floating towards the surface, startling the surrounding fish into a frantic escape.
Eventually, Liang Jin landed among the coral reefs at the bottom of the sea.
He sat down cross-legged and continued to circulate his cultivation technique underwater, digesting the medicinal effects of the pill.
With his current cultivation level and physical strength, although he couldn't stay submerged for seven days and seven nights like the "White Streak in the Waves" from novels, staying underwater for two or three days wasn't difficult for him.
Time slowly passed.
Liang Jin could feel the light gradually dimming in the seabed, which was originally illuminated by sunlight.
Later, the seabed was completely plunged into darkness, where one couldn't see their own fingers.
He knew that night had fallen.
At this time, the heat and tempering sensation throughout Liang Jin's body were also slowly weakening.
He understood that this was a sign that the medicinal effects of the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill were about to be completely absorbed.
However, at this moment, Liang Jin was horrified to discover that a strange change had occurred in his body.
The latest novels are available first on 6_9_shu_ba!
The skin all over his body began to lose its luster, gradually turning black and becoming wrinkled, as if he were wearing a wrinkled black leather jacket.
Generally speaking, human skin wrinkles after being soaked in water for a long time, which is a normal phenomenon.
But Liang Jin's current situation was obviously completely different.
He only felt that the skin on his body seemed to be separating from his body.
"Am I... shedding my skin?"
Liang Jin suddenly had this terrifying thought in his mind.
Indeed, skin shedding also exists in normal humans.
For example, infant skin shedding is the natural shedding of the stratum corneum; peeling caused by friction on the palms, and the replacement of old skin on the soles of the feet, are the result of natural renewal of skin cells.
The outer layer of human skin is constantly regenerating. The skin shedding process starts from the bottom of the epidermis, with new cells moving upwards, pushing out the old skin cells. The old skin gradually accumulates into a layer of dead skin, and then naturally falls off.
It is estimated that tens of thousands of skin cells fall off the human body every minute, and the total amount of skin cells shed by a person in a year can reach several kilograms.
However, this kind of human skin shedding is essentially different from that of creatures such as snakes.
Snakes shed their skin when new skin grows under the old skin, and eventually the old skin is shed completely at once.
And Liang Jin's situation at this moment was extremely similar to the way snakes shed their skin, which was also a one-time shedding.
"Transformation, transformation, could this be the beginning of my transformation?"
"After the transformation, I won't turn into a butterfly, will I?"
"At least, I have to maintain a human appearance."
Liang Jin pondered secretly, feeling extremely surprised at this sudden change. He didn't expect that the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill would bring such a wonderful effect.
"Forget it, as long as I can become stronger, appearance doesn't matter."
"Anyway, this clone already looks like this, so I can't expect to make a living based on my face."
"If worst comes to worst, I won't be human anymore. It's not a big deal."
Liang Jin quickly accepted this reality.
At this time, the skin all over his body became more and more relaxed, indicating that the shedding was officially beginning.
Liang Jin felt as if he was tightly trapped in a leather bag. The skin on his body was no longer integrated with him, but became a sealed bag restricting his freedom.
Since it was his first time shedding his skin, Liang Jin had no experience to speak of.
He could only carefully tear a hole from his head, trying to allow himself to successfully crawl out of the shed skin.
Throughout the entire process, he was worried, fearing that shedding his skin too quickly would damage the newly grown skin, because he could clearly feel that the new skin was extremely sensitive and fragile.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Jin found that he was starting to lose hair. The thick chest hair, leg hair, hand hair, etc. all fell off along with the shed old skin.
Not only that, but the pimples on his skin were gradually disappearing, and even the hideous scar on his face, like a large centipede, running through half of his head, had faded a lot.
Afterwards, Liang Jin began to be squeezed out of his old skin bit by bit.
His newly grown skin was smooth and delicate, and he looked several years younger.
Finally, Liang Jin completely broke free from the shackles of his old skin, and the shedding was complete.
And in the same place, a long, snake-shed-like human-shaped shell was left behind.
The surrounding fish swarmed over in an instant, vying for Liang Jin's shed human-shaped shell.
This human-shaped shell still contained a small amount of medicinal effects, which was undoubtedly a rare tonic for these fish.
Liang Jin originally planned to drive the fish away and take back his shed old skin.
But looking at this human-shaped shell that looked almost exactly like him, he felt awkward in his heart, and finally gave up the idea, letting the fish feast on it.
But just then.
Suddenly, a behemoth was rapidly approaching in the sea!
Although this behemoth was still far away, a terrifying pressure had already surged, scaring many fish in the school to death on the spot, turning their bellies up and floating towards the surface.
If he hadn't felt this pressure, Liang Jin would have thought it was a whale approaching.
But when that familiar pressure hit him, he instantly knew the identity of the comer.
That's right, the giant snake was coming!
Even in the water, this giant snake was surprisingly fast.
In the blink of an eye, it rushed to the front and swallowed the human-shaped shell left by Liang Jin in one gulp.
Obviously, this human-shaped shell attracted the giant snake.
The next moment.
The giant snake turned its huge head, and its two huge eyes stared at Liang Jin!
