Chapter 180: The Opportunity Arrives
Recalling the specific orders issued by Elder Jian, the law enforcement hall disciples knew they didn’t need to pay attention to Ji Yang if they encountered him during their mission. Even if he took action, they were instructed not to capture him.
Without a second thought, the three law enforcement hall disciples prepared to leave with the unconscious disciple, but one of them lagged slightly behind, getting stopped by Ji Yang, who asked why they weren’t capturing him.
He initially wanted to resist, but seeing the flying sword in Ji Yang’s hand, the disciple had no choice but to relent and tell Ji Yang the reason.
Ji Yang released his grip on the disciple’s collar and smoothed out the wrinkles before slowly speaking:
"I see. You can go!"
Noticing Ji Yang didn’t ask any further questions, the law enforcement hall disciple wasted no time and quickly fled!
How terrifying!
Once this disciple had run far away, Ji Yang finally put away his flying sword.
At that moment, the onlookers also dispersed in a hurry.
Ji Yang sighed; he knew the issue originated from above.
The elder from the law enforcement hall probably didn’t have such power; it was likely that old Sixth, the Sect Master, was behind it!
Ji Yang speculated in his heart.
In recent days, Ji Yang had also stopped several fights, adhering to the principle of eliminating evil and upholding justice.
He should have received commendation from the just, but unfortunately, when those law enforcement hall disciples arrived, they looked at him as they had last time and then ignored him, turning instead to take away the person he had knocked unconscious.
At that moment, Ji Yang felt disheartened; how could such a large sect not have a place for him?
He just wanted to be punished—what wrong had he committed?
Ji Yang felt a sense of urgency; if he didn’t seize the opportunity soon, Ye Wuchen would return. If he saw that Ji Yang had filled Jingtan Peak with spiritual plants, he didn’t know what the outcome would be.
If all else failed, he could try heading to Tianxing Lake.
He was rather skilled at provoking elders.
The sect elders surely couldn’t just ignore him, right?
Besides, he remembered hearing something about spying on female cultivators bathing?
No, no, that was too despicable!
He would look openly!
At that time, he wouldn’t believe the sect would leave him be; there were plenty of ways, but he still needed to think carefully.
Just as Ji Yang pondered where to go, several figures raced toward him from the sky.
Ji Yang keenly sensed that their primordial spirits were all locking onto him, indicating they were coming for him.
When Ji Yang saw the clothing of the arriving group, his heart leaped with joy.
His opportunity had come!
The visitors were law enforcement hall disciples, and among them, he even spotted someone dressed in the robes of an elder.
Upon closer inspection, it was someone he recognized.
Elder Liu.
Ji Yang was quite familiar with Elder Liu; he was not an elder from the law enforcement hall, but he was present for most major events.
Once the group landed, a leading law enforcement hall cultivator immediately addressed Ji Yang:
"Is that Ji Yang?"
Though it was a question, there was no hint of arrogance, and the tone was quite calm.
Ji Yang nodded, saying,
"Yes, that’s me! What brings you here, brothers?"
"According to reports from sect disciples, you openly injured other disciples in the sect, disregarding sect rules. Do you have anything to say about this matter…?"
Before the cultivator could finish, Ji Yang interrupted:
"That’s right! I did it all by myself; there’s no need for you to say more, brothers."
With that, Ji Yang gave up any resistance.
Although he did not know what was happening, the arrival of the law enforcement hall disciples indicated that his opportunity would not be small!
The leading law enforcement hall cultivator was momentarily taken aback. Though he knew something was off about this situation, he was just beginning to feel how wrong it truly was.
This law enforcement cultivator did not rush to handle the situation but instead looked toward Elder Liu, who had come along.
Elder Liu nodded slightly, and only then did they take action.
One person took out a small flying boat, which quickly expanded into its full size as it caught the wind.
"Junior Brother Ji, please…!"
Just halfway through, Ji Yang already stepped onto the boat of his own accord; he had been waiting for this moment for quite some time.
"Let’s go, brothers!"
Once on the flying boat, Ji Yang spoke up.
At this time, the others were also very polite.
"Brother, are we going the wrong way? This doesn’t seem like the route to the mining site for your punishment."
Seeing that the flying boat was not heading toward the sect’s exit, Ji Yang showed a look of confusion.
The law enforcement hall cultivators nearby were at a loss for an answer; they were just following orders.
At that moment, Elder Liu waved his hand toward them and smiled as he said,
"This is going to another place."
"Greetings, Elder Liu."
Ji Yang nodded slightly and then asked in surprise,
"Aren’t we going to the Xuan Iron Mine?"
Elder Liu remained silent, simply watching Ji Yang.
This made Ji Yang a bit uneasy; the others did not know what was going on, but Elder Liu had been present at the scene when both mines collapsed.
After a while, Elder Liu sighed and slowly said,
"The sect has only two or three Xuan Iron Mines, and none of them can afford to collapse."
Ji Yang felt a sense of helplessness; the collapse of the mine was beyond his control. He just wanted to mine a bit deeper.
However, Ji Yang did not want to give up the opportunity to go to the mine for training.
"Elder Liu, perhaps there are ancient relics beneath the other two mines as well; I think it is necessary to check them thoroughly."
Elder Liu paused, his expression faltering:
"The sect has already checked, and there are none."
"What you have done in the sect recently has been noted; you are talented and uphold justice in your heart, which is commendable. But you must also follow the sect rules; otherwise, it will be hard to gain the trust of others."
"The sect originally intended to send you to Bipotan for punishment, but with my argument, you will be sent to the spiritual herb garden instead. I hope you can reflect on yourself there."
"The spiritual herb garden?"
Ji Yang’s heart leaped with joy; although it wasn’t the mine, the spiritual herb garden seemed promising.
He had wanted to visit the spiritual herb garden to see the various spiritual plants.
Although he felt cheerful, Ji Yang maintained a calm demeanor and cupped his fists, saying,
"Thank you, Elder."
Ji Yang didn’t know what had been discussed above, but the fact that Elder Liu personally came to explain indicated there was no malice.
"Mm."
Seeing Ji Yang’s respectful attitude, Elder Liu nodded slightly and then spoke in a serious tone:
"This time, I will ensure your punishment in the spiritual herb garden goes smoothly; you must be careful not to repeat the incident of the mine collapse. Otherwise, I will also have trouble explaining myself."
Ji Yang smiled, saying,
"Don’t worry, Elder Liu. I always act cautiously."
But looking at the smile on Ji Yang’s face, Elder Liu couldn’t return the smile; he felt a chill in that statement.
However, the matter was already settled, and there was no turning back.
It seemed he had come at the right time; he would later give the elder in charge of the spiritual herb garden a thorough warning not to let Ji Yang cause any trouble, or else he would truly be unable to explain himself.
The flying boat traveled quickly and soon arrived at an unfamiliar place.
