Chapter 65: Settled!
The arrival of Elder Li made the many disciples below dare not speak anymore. They might challenge ordinary members of the law enforcement hall, but under the absolute suppression of strength, they had no chance of victory.
After arriving, Elder Li frowned. Jing Feiwen had already explained the situation through the messaging talisman. Initially, he didn’t believe it, but now seeing the current situation, he had no choice but to believe.
Elder Li fixed his gaze on the main instigator, Ji Yang. Just a sixth-level Qi Refinement disciple, yet he could stir up such a large uproar in the sect—this called for severe punishment!
As Elder Li looked at him, Ji Yang smiled lightly, thinking to himself.
This time it’s settled!
However, when Elder Li noticed the elder behind Ji Yang, his expression changed again.
Why cause trouble here of all places? Why did it have to be in front of the Unity with the Dao secret realm hall?
But as Elder Li saw the elder nodding with a smile, he felt more at ease. He understood the meaning of the elder’s smile.
That meant to ignore Ji Yang!
Although he had probably heard about the situation through the messaging talisman, this place was unusual, and Elder Li still needed to understand the matter more clearly before making a decision.
He turned to Jing Feiwen next to him and asked,
“Explain in detail!”
Jing Feiwen did not dare to be careless and quickly reported the situation truthfully!
This made Elder Li glance at Ji Yang from time to time, and occasionally he looked at the fallen disciples present.
After Jing Feiwen finished speaking, Elder Li’s expression was contemplative, but his lips moved slightly.
“Does his sword really have an effect?”
Hearing the voice beside him and seeing Elder Li’s rather eager gaze, Jing Feiwen froze momentarily.
Just as he prepared to answer, Elder Li’s expression changed to one of solemnity and gravity! The seriousness also carried a hint of fairness!
As if the previous words had not been spoken by Elder Li himself.
Soon, Elder Li announced the punishment:
“Causing a disturbance in a sacred area of the sect and openly engaging in violence! All will be sent to the mining site for punishment! Those who disobey will face double the punishment!”
With just a light statement, he had resolved the matter.
At that moment, Ji Yang’s gaze toward Elder Li carried a hint of affirmation.
As expected of the law enforcement hall supervisor, his handling of affairs is fair, much better than that Elder Lu or Elder Tai.
Some disciples below, who hadn’t yet been dealt with, felt unwilling:
“Senior Brother Ji is innocent! He was only forced to fight back!”
“Hmph! Even if he’s innocent, causing a disturbance in the sect’s sacred area still deserves punishment!”
Elder Li snorted coldly, and the other disciples dared not speak again.
“Since he’s innocent, how about asking Elder Li for mercy and letting my disciple go this time?”
At that moment, a lightly spoken voice came from behind.
“I, the law enforcement hall, have always been fair and strict. It’s not for you to decide whether it’s right or wrong!”
Elder Li’s face showed anger, and before he turned his head, the words slipped out.
However, when Elder Li turned to see the visitor, the words he wanted to continue scolding were immediately swallowed back.
The newcomer wore a forever unchanging blue robe, at first glance looking no different from ordinary outer disciples, but the red wine flask at his waist and his distinctly different aura made him stand out in the crowd.
The outer disciples might not recognize him, but Li Zhenghao certainly did, and his attitude instantly became friendly. A hint of flattering smile appeared on his face as he said,
“Greetings, Peak Master Ye! I apologize for my poor eyesight earlier, I couldn’t recognize you!”
“I hadn’t expected this disciple to be Peak Master Ye’s esteemed student. I see this junior brother is graceful and refined, and with the other disciples assuring me, he must be innocent!”
At this point, others hearing these words also looked in awe at the figure above them. Most of them were outer disciples, and after entering the sect, many had never even met an elder, let alone a peak master.
Moreover, the person before them was the uniquely outstanding Peak Master of Jingtan Peak among the Twelve Peaks!
Many disciples did not feel much pressure from Ye Wuchen but dared not speak. The low murmurs in the crowd fell silent, and the surroundings became eerily quiet.
Ji Yang’s heart skipped when he recognized the visitor.
It’s over, this time it’s really settled.
Returning to the peak is certain now.
The old man in the hall had disappeared from everyone’s view at some point.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave!”
“Please, Peak Master Ye!”
As Elder Li lowered his head, Ye Wuchen’s figure had vanished from sight, along with Ji Yang, who was not far away.
“Cough, Master, how have you been lately?”
In the air, the captured Ji Yang asked with a smile.
Ye Wuchen nodded:
“Not bad, just woke up to find a few things missing!”
Hearing this, Ji Yang felt a chill in his heart.
Before, he had disguised it as a cultivation matter; now, it was no longer hidden—this is dangerous!
This time, Ye Wuchen moved quickly, and as he flew into the air, sword energy surrounded him. Just as Ji Yang was still confused, the next moment they arrived at the familiar Jingtan Peak.
So he was flying slowly on purpose before? To let me admire the scenery of the other peaks?
The scenery inside the peak was just as before, not a bit changed, not even the wild chicken they had eaten after years of hard training had disappeared.
After landing, Ji Yang immediately spoke:
“Master, I’ve reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement! Look!”
“Hmm, that’s quite good!”
Is that all? He remembered that when he broke through to the first level of Qi Refinement, Ye Wuchen had praised him lavishly for a whole year. Now that he had advanced to the sixth level in just two months, Ye Wuchen remained unfazed.
This left Ji Yang without the excuses he had prepared.
Ye Wuchen took a sip from the wine gourd and then sighed:
“Advancing too quickly in level is not necessarily a good thing for you!”
Seeing a hint of worry on Ye Wuchen’s face, Ji Yang felt puzzled:
“Master, isn’t it the case that the faster I advance, the stronger I become when facing calamity?”
“While that’s true, how can a person overcome fate?”
Seeing Ye Wuchen’s negative words, Ji Yang couldn’t help but retort:
“Master, I believe that as long as my cultivation speed is fast enough, even the calamity of heaven and earth can’t do anything to me!”
“Fine, let’s battle at the same level!”
Ye Wuchen put away his wine gourd, and the intent of his sword spread out.
In the next moment, Ye Wuchen revealed his cultivation level, suppressing it to match Ji Yang’s sixth level of Qi Refinement!
At that moment, Ji Yang’s fighting spirit was ignited!
He could cross levels as easily as eating, and breakthrough boundaries like drinking water. With excellent talent, understanding, and a boost from his special ability, even facing the same sixth level Ye Wuchen, he thought he might not lose!
Seeing Ji Yang’s fierce aura, unafraid in front of him, Ye Wuchen’s eyes held a trace of admiration.
He saw his younger self in Ji Yang, perhaps even more gifted.
Then both of them each conjured an entry-level flying sword.
Though Ji Yang was exceptionally gifted, he did not underestimate this powerful master, especially after gaining enough understanding of the sect and Jingtan Peak during these two months.
