Chapter 125: Heading to the Mining Site
Seeing this, Ji Yang felt calm in his heart and turned his gaze toward Elder Lu in front of him.
At that moment, Elder Lu looked at Ji Yang with a meaningful expression in his eyes.
Their gazes met in the air, creating sparks.
Elder Lu’s brow twitched, showing that his thoughts were fluctuating.
The two remained in a stalemate for a long time. In the face of Ji Yang’s righteous gaze, Elder Lu ultimately looked away, his expression growing serious again:
"Ji Yang, obstructing the sect’s law enforcement and taking action against the sect rules carries inevitable consequences, even if you have pointed out mistakes. You are now sentenced to half a month in the mining site as a warning to others!"
After Elder Lu finished speaking, he called over other law enforcement hall disciples to prepare to take Ji Yang away!
Listening to the verdict, Ji Yang took a deep breath.
At last, his effort with that sword was not in vain, but getting punished was too difficult!
Moreover, the time was only a short half month, which was quite a challenge.
Fortunately, there were still two weeks left, so he wouldn’t leave empty-handed!
At this moment, the other disciples nodded upon hearing the punishment, and there was no longer any dissatisfaction on their faces!
However, after thinking it through carefully, they began to feel that something was slightly off.
But after contemplating, they still couldn’t find anything wrong.
Looking at the situation now, every disciple involved had received appropriate punishment, and no one objected.
Since no one opposed it, it must be fine!
"Make way, please, respected senior brothers!"
After many disciples had dispersed, two newly arrived disciples finally squeezed in.
Having heard that there was some excitement, Ruan Yong’an and He Feng, who had just received their identity tokens and stepped into the inner sect, rushed over to witness the scene within the inner sect.
Seeing the prowess of the inner disciples was excellent for them, as it would guide them regarding their own strength and future goals.
Once they squeezed into the center of the crowd and looked around, they instantly saw Ji Yang standing quietly to the side, his expression emotionless.
The two were overjoyed and immediately called out:
"Junior Brother Ji!"
"Junior Brother Ji, it really is you!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Ji Yang turned his head and soon spotted Ruan Yong’an and He Feng in the crowd!
Ji Yang smiled and approached, greeting them:
"It’s been a while, respected senior brothers. How have you been?"
After all, they were familiar from working together in the mines, and after exchanging pleasantries,
He Feng said in surprise:
"Junior Brother Ji, you have actually entered the Foundation Establishment stage before us. I am truly humbled by your title of senior brother!"
Ruan Yong’an was equally astonished by Ji Yang’s cultivation level, feeling quite emotional. They had practiced for many years to reach their current level, but the last time they saw Ji Yang, he was only at the Qi Refinement stage.
Such terrifying cultivation talent is truly the result of Heaven’s Jealousy.
Ji Yang waved his hand:
"Senior Brother He, what are you saying? You and Senior Brother Ling took great care of me in the Ziying Mine, and I gained so much from you both. How can I compare my cultivation level to yours?"
"Sigh."
He Feng and Ling Xiao sighed again after hearing this. Clearly, they had received more care in the Ziying Mine.
Their feelings were complicated, but seeing Ji Yang’s genuine enthusiasm, which was not just false politeness, brought them a hint of joy!
"By the way, Junior Brother Ji, what brings you here?"
"Could it be that some senior brother is causing trouble for you? Although my cultivation level is not high, your matters are my matters. Please tell me, Junior Brother Ji!"
Just as Ji Yang was about to respond, two figures shot down from the sky.
From the clothing, they were clearly members of the law enforcement hall.
And sensing their cultivation, they were at least Golden Core stage cultivators.
This stunned He Feng and Ling Xiao, who both sighed, realizing that the inner sect law enforcement hall was far more powerful than ordinary disciples, not to mention compared to them, who had just entered the inner sect.
But why had the law enforcement hall come here?
Before the two could ask, the two individuals headed straight for Ji Yang. He Feng and Ling Xiao focused intently to see what was happening.
"Ji Yang, according to the elder’s ruling, you obstructed the sect’s law enforcement and violated the sect rules. Come with us!"
This left He Feng and Ling Xiao looking at each other in confusion.
Arriving late, they had no idea what had happened here, but the law enforcement hall was present, and it was the elder’s judgment, so it was likely correct.
Looking back at Ji Yang, who had a righteous expression, this…
"I accept my punishment. Thank you, senior brothers."
After Ji Yang spoke, he directed his gaze toward one of the individuals, his eyes widening in surprise.
The person was actually a familiar face!
Ling Xiao, who previously served in the outer sect law enforcement team, had not expected that after a long absence, he would now be at the Golden Core stage and in the inner sect law enforcement!
What a coincidence!
Seeing Ji Yang, Ling Xiao was equally displeased. He had just received word from the elder to come and escort someone for punishment. This seemed like a minor matter, but upon hearing that the name was Ji Yang, it reminded him of some unpleasant experiences from their time in the outer sect law enforcement.
However, Ling Xiao didn’t think much of it; there were many people with the same name in the inner sect, and it was unlikely to be the same person.
But upon arriving and confirming Ji Yang’s face, Ling Xiao stopped talking!
Damn!
It was him!
"Senior brothers, I’m truly sorry, but I have to go and accept punishment now. Let’s catch up another time?"
"Cough, cough, cough, alright, Junior Brother Ji, take care!"
Watching Ji Yang being taken away, He Feng and Ruan Yong’an exchanged looks, both wearing expressions of confusion.
Soon, they found out the whole story and, after learning the details, they sighed heavily once again.
“Junior Brother Ji stands for justice! He is truly unique!”
“Sigh, I didn’t expect that pure-hearted Junior Brother Ji not only has outstanding talent but also such righteousness. I feel ashamed!”
“If Junior Brother Ji is like this, as senior brothers, shouldn’t we be stronger than a junior brother?”
“It should be so!”
The eyes of He Feng and Ling Xiao sparkled.
In the sky, Elder Lu floated above, and upon seeing Ji Yang being taken away, his expression became complicated.
Punishment for his son, pain in his heart!
However, this matter had escalated so greatly that if he didn’t handle it properly, it wouldn’t be long before it reached the Sect Master’s ears.
Moreover, given Ji Yang’s different status, he had to act fairly and justly, feeling sorry for his son, hoping he wouldn’t suffer too much!
“How has Senior Brother Ling been lately?”
Sitting on the law enforcement hall’s flying boat, Ji Yang smiled and asked.
Ling Xiao lightly nodded:
“It’s been alright!”
Another early Golden Core disciple beside them expressed surprise and asked:
“Do you know this Junior Brother, Senior Brother Ling?”
Ling Xiao’s expression was strange, but he still nodded.
Though Ling Xiao seemed aloof, Ji Yang didn’t mind because that was just Ling Xiao’s nature, and besides, with his objective achieved, Ji Yang couldn’t help but feel a bit excited and hoped to learn details about their destination through Ling Xiao.
Suppressing his excitement, Ji Yang asked with a slightly worried expression:
“Senior Brother Ling, is the place for punishment the sect’s Xuan Iron Mine?”
“Senior Brother Ling, where is the sect’s Xuan Iron Mine located?”
“Senior Brother Ling…”
Seemingly seeing through Ji Yang’s intentions, Ling Xiao said little, but another person beside them answered enthusiastically and began to explain.
Seeing his senior brother so enthusiastic, it clearly was not just for Ji Yang’s sake, but also likely in admiration of Ji Yang’s actions, as both had already heard about the recent events.
Thinking back to his own experiences, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but sigh internally, hoping this senior brother would continue to be so warm-hearted afterward.
