As the elder dropped off Madlenkosi he was surprised to see another elder bringing Shenkong Yang and the rest of their clique. Mufeng unsurprisingly wasn't here since he needed to go to the Alchemy Hall to be treated.
The Punishment Hall was a large black building, with grandiose architecture and two titans on either side holding either a Guillotine Blade or Chains.
The heavy atmosphere surrounding this building made him and the others audibly swallow.
Upon entering they were led past the lobby into a dark hallway with stones embedded into the wall on either side.
The stones gave off dim light as they continued down this eerie pathway.
As they reached their destination they saw a circular area with raised seating areas around it.
"Stand in the center"
An old woman who looked like she was 1 foot in the grave and 1 foot in the afterlife said.
Her wrinkled finger pointed at Shenkong Yang, "Explain..."
Shenkong Yang's eyes lit up as he recognized this woman, she was an elder from his clan named Elder YueWu. She had a heightened status within the clan and was even an elder to the current patriarch which was his and Mufeng's Paternal great uncle.
He sneered as he looked at Kosi and bowed politely.
" Hall Elder, I beg you to seek justice on this little one's behalf," Madlenkosi's eyes widened as he thought of the implications of this since he believes there should be 3 elders per ruling, but right now it was only 1.
"Excuse.." He tried to intervene.
*BLAM*
"DID I ASK YOU TO SPEAK?!" Elder YueWu glared as she slammed her withered hand on the podium in front of her.
"Continue Yang'er" She motioned to Shenkong Yang.
Upon seeing this Kosi's face turned ugly.
Shenkong Yang went on to talk about how he was sneak attacked as well as how he snatched a female disciple from him and had his way with her.
He also went on to besmirch Madlenkosi's name in any way possible.
As the Hall elder heard more her face slowly got more and more ugly. She turned and looked at Kosi.
" Junior Jīn, do you have anything to say?" Asked Elder YueWu.
"You already judged me guilty, so what's the point"
"Presumptuous!" She bellowed.
As of now hand in your Sect token and garment, you need not stay in Our Titan's Gate any longer, we do not need unruly and unscrupulous disciples!
Hearing this Madlenkosi was beyond shocked...
But he turned them in nonetheless.
It was approaching dusk and he was on his way down the mountain as he wore the Daun Da hemp garbs he came in.
As he got to the entrance he turned to look at the sect one last time.
"I guess it was fun while it lasted..."
He left the mountain using his Wind Tiger Cloud Dragon movement technique.
"According to the map I got off one the worker disciples there's a town near here...I should kill some beasts so I can have some funds to use."
As of this moment Kosi was poor as poor can be, all his cores were converted to contribution points and they were then confiscated.
The only things he had right now were the clothes on his back, a map, and the Qiankun pouch in his shirt.
As he traveled for these 3 days he was in constant battle by day and cultivation by night, soon due to Qi within each of his meals he broke through to the 6th layer Prana Gathering Realm.
__________________________
Back in the sect, two Elders were looking for the little Junior Jīn. One of the Elders was elder Yu Guangming an Outer Elder and the other was the Inner Head Elder Yu ZaiMing, both of the same family and branch.
Previously Elder Guangming told Elder ZaiMing about an unbelievably talented Jīn disciple that randomly showed up but they decided to keep the knowledge under wraps of how talented he actually was.
The Yu family was the main family within the Sect. The Sect Master, Head Elder, and Ancestor were all surnamed Yu. Due to this, they had inside information on the history of the sect that others didn't know of.
The sect was founded by an incredibly powerful Jīn Rèn Warrior!
Now that they had known that a prodigious talent landed in their lap, as well as him being of Jīn descent they wanted him to be Elder Zai's disciple post haste.
The reason they took so long was that being too hasty would have led to unwarranted questions being asked.
They didn't want the Shenkong or Wei family getting news of this...
As they made their way to Kosi's courtyard they saw that there were only worker disciples.
After asking one of the disciples there were told that Junior Jīn was evicted due to a fight with Shenkong Mufeng.
Both elders were so furious by the end of the explanation that their faces turned as ugly as possible.
Elder ZaiMing face alternated between green and white.
" Send someone to Bring! Him! BACK!" He hollered as he turned and left in the direction of the Punishment Hall.
Elder Guangming stared in that direction in schadenfreude.
Recently the Shenkong family became arrogant since they recently got a few more elders in notable positions.
As Elder ZaiMing got to the Punishment Hall his voice was heard by all within the building.
"Shenkong YueWu Get Your Ass Out Here!"
Hall Elder YueWu appeared like a specter.
"Head Inner Elder ZaiMing, How can I help you?" Even though she was quite appalled and angry at how she was addressed, he was still senior to her so she had to bear with it.
"Did you or did you not evict a Jīn Rèn disciple today." He said as his face was red and squeezed together like a dried plum. He breathed heavily as he stared down at her.
"Yes I did, he was an unscrupulous and lascivious disciple, " She continued.." I figured it would be better to get bad apples out early rather than taint our sect's image."
When Elder ZaiMing heard this he was so angry he began to laugh. How would he not know what type of disciple this little Jīn was?
From the time he entered the sect, Guangming came to him to give him insider information. From then on he was watching this junior from the shadows.
From the time he got his new skills at the Script Pagoda til the time he fought the Sinüè Mountain Apes.
He was astounded by the boy's diligence and performance but the one time he took his eyes off him, to get everything ready to accept a disciple, they kicked him out.
He had never felt so stifled in his 167 years.
As he stopped laughing and looked at this annoyance in front of him, he lashed out and slapped her into one of the pillars which fell on top of her.
"Punishment Hall, Listen Up! "
"Stop All Your Current Missions!"
"Go and retrieve your Junior Brother Jīn!!"
