Zhenyang Mountain.
Sword Tomb Peak.
Unlike the lush forests of the other five peaks, Sword Tomb Peak had no trees, only a stone stairway leading upward from the foot of the mountain straight to the summit.
This stairway had thousands of steps, and no one typically ventured upon them.
Because this stairway, leading directly to the peak, was called the "Punishment Tier."
If a disciple violated the sect rules, committing a grave offense, they must ascend these stone steps to the Sword Tomb Platform at the summit, to receive the sect's judgment.
It had been several decades since anyone had ventured up these steps.
But today, disciples of Zhenyang Sect lined both sides of the Punishment Tier.
Everyone was waiting for the third senior sister of Xiyue Peak to walk this stairway.
"Such a pity, Si Minglan, ranked as a top beauty on the Beauty Ranking, is she really going to meet her demise?"
"Nonsense, third senior sister must be innocent!"
