"No!"
Fairy Linghua exclaid. Before she could resist, a figure flashed behind Fu Chao, moving as fast as lightning. That person spread his five fingers, and white light shot out from his fingertips, quickly binding Fairy Linghua tightly.
"Impressive!"
Li Yunjing’s heart skipped a beat. He instantly recognized that Fu Shiyi’s thods were extraordinary and far beyond those of a typical cultivator at the ninth layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm.
These were clearly experts from the Fu Family.
"Hmm! Li Yunjing, you’ve got so promise! You’ve already reached the fifth layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm!"
Steward Li didn’t care about the Fu Family’s business. Instead, his gaze imdiately focused on Li Yunjing. The more he looked, the more surprised he beca, and he couldn’t help but praise him.
Others, including Fu Chao and the Foundation Establishnt experts beside him, turned their attention to Li Yunjing upon hearing Steward Li’s words.
It seed this kid was sowhat different?
"Hehe! You’re too kind, Steward Li. I gained this cultivation by sheer luck..."
Li Yunjing’s heart tightened as he recounted how he had fooled Yue Zhouwang and the others from Yaxiang Garden for 2000 Contribution Points by using Fu Chao’s na.
"I used 2000 Contribution Points worth of resources to improve my cultivation, and that’s how I made progress!"
Li Yunjing added another explanation at the end.
Now being watched by Wei Henian was already causing him enough misery; he didn’t want to also attract attention from Fu Chao!
"Li Yunjing! You little rascal! How dare you use my na to fool others?"
Fu Chao imdiately shifted his focus upon hearing Li Yunjing’s words.
Fu Chao was furious with Li Yunjing’s actions.
How dare this kid?
"Hehe! Young Master Fu, it was all with your permission! A big shot like you shouldn’t go back on your word!"
Li Yunjing laughed, showing no fear of Fu Chao’s anger.
"When did I ever give you permission?"
Fu Chao was furious. Did this obnoxious kid really think he could fool him?
"Don’t you rember our second eting, at ’Yaxiang Garden’? At that ti, you called brother..."
The more Fu Chao listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. He had indeed said those words.
At that ti, he had said it casually, never expecting that Li Yunjing would take it seriously and use it to scam a lot of benefits.
It made him feel indignant.
"Young Master Fu, think about it. Just by using your na, I was able to thrive in Shenxiao Dao Sect. This shows how remarkable you are!"
Seeing Fu Chao’s discomfort, Li Yunjing added another sentence to console him.
Sure enough, these words made Fu Chao feel a bit better. After all, he hadn’t suffered any real loss.
He could only console himself this way.
After all, Fu Chao found Li Yunjing sowhat likable, and given his close relationship with the Yu Family, he had no intentions of offending them.
At this mont, Fu Shiyi had already produced a leather bag and slipped it over Fairy Linghua’s head, stuffing her into the bag and sealing it up.
"Tsk, tsk! The way you snatch won is really skilled! Fu Chao is indeed not a good guy!"
Li Yunjing marveled at the sight.
Before anyone could say anything, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the passage outside.
Soon, more than a dozen people from the Laws Association appeared.
Seeing so many people near Li Yunjing, they were all taken aback.
"Brats, you really ca! Tsk, tsk, four Inner Sect Disciples, ten Outer Disciples, interesting! When you’re all dead, let’s see how Wei Henian explains this to the Sect!"
Seeing the newcors, Fu Chao revealed a cruel smile.
"Fu Chao, you are also a True Disciple of Shenxiao Dao Sect. Why do you speak like this? Aren’t you afraid of breaking the rules?"
The leader was none other than Li Yunjing’s old acquaintance, Ye Long. Now, he had none of the arrogance of an Inner Sect Disciple, his face full of fear as he summoned his flying sword, ready to flee.
Everyone else did the sa, realizing that they had fallen into Fu Chao’s trap, likely due to being betrayed.
Where was Fairy Linghua?
Could it be that she had betrayed them?
"Hehe! As a True Disciple of Shenxiao Dao Sect, how could I personally kill you? I certainly won’t! I wonder what they think, though!"
As soon as Fu Chao’s voice fell, the five ninth-layer Qi Cultivation Realm experts behind him, like tigers among sheep, began slaughtering Ye Long and his group with ferocious laughter.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Explosions rang out as the Outer Disciples of the Laws Association were not able to resist, their bodies thrown back several ters. Blood and flesh were scattered, their deaths horrifying.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating their strength! How dare you oppose the Fu Family!"
With a cold snort, the five experts of the Fu Family continued pursuing the remaining Inner Sect Disciples.
Watching his companions die one by one, Ye Long’s face turned to pure terror. He had nearly lost all will to fight, desperately running for his life.
But the gap in strength was too big. Before he had even run a few steps, two experts of the Fu Family caught up with him, clawing at his back, causing his bones to crack loudly. Ye Long was already beyond recognition.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The Fu Family mbers moved quickly, disregarding the prestige of ninth-layer Qi Cultivators, as they searched Ye Long and his group’s corpses.
Aside from the items of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, they even stripped down Ye Long and his group’s boots and clothes.
"Sigh! So many good items, probably worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones!"
Li Yunjing sighed, eyeing the scene eagerly.
Unfortunately, he had no right to share the loot!
After everything was cleaned up, the group quickly set fire to everything, including items of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, burning them completely.
"All right!"
Fu Chao nodded at Li Yunjing and said, "The matter here is settled. We’ll leave first. As for you, just act like you know nothing."
"Rest assured! I understand and won’t leave any loose ends!"
Li Yunjing nodded seriously, assuring him.
"Not bad!"
Fu Chao nodded and led his group away. As they disappeared from the stone chamber, Li Yunjing heard Fu Chao’s voice again, "Be careful of Xu Xun!"
"Hm?"
Li Yunjing was startled and puzzled. "What does that an? I don’t seem to have any connection with soone like him."
Fu Chao’s words surely had a reason.
There had to be so entanglent with Xu Xun that he wasn’t aware of.
"Li Yunjing, cultivate well. I have high hopes for you!"
Even Steward Li greeted Li Yunjing before leaving.
He didn’t believe a word of Li Yunjing’s story! How could a little bit of resources raise cultivation by four levels in less than half a year?
Not even heavenly treasures could have such an effect!
But after thoroughly checking over Li Yunjing and finding nothing hidden, he gave up the idea of further investigation.
Steward Li even wondered if this kid might actually be a genius?
Could he be a future big shot of Shenxiao Dao Sect, just like Xu Xun?
This kind of talent made Steward Li kind and amiable toward Li Yunjing.
At that mont, seven thousand miles away, in Shenxiao Dao Sect.
"Sothing’s wrong! Four more Inner Sect Disciples have perished!"
Deep within the Celestial Craft Hall, an Inner Sect Disciple responsible for monitoring the disciples couldn’t help but cry out in shock.
In front of him, a huge light screen displayed countless blue light dots, with a few yellow dots among them, representing the Inner Sect and True Disciples of Shenxiao Dao Sect.
Each disappearing light dot represented the death of a disciple, and their Identity Tokens were destroyed.
"What’s going on?"
The disciple’s exclamation caught the attention of a Steward. He ca over to check.
In Shenxiao Dao Sect, Inner Sect Disciples, True Disciples, and those above the Foundation Establishnt Realm were very important.
Their Identity Tokens were different from those of the Outer Sect and servants, with more functions, including imdiately notifying the Sect of their death.
Every Inner Sect Disciple’s death had to be investigated!
They couldn’t die in vain.
This detection system, a masterpiece of the Celestial Craft Hall, allowed real-ti monitoring of Shenxiao Dao Sect’s status.
"Retrieve the information of the four who just died!"
The Steward imdiately instructed.
"Yes, Steward Li!"
An Inner Sect Disciple quickly operated the complex system, retrieving and organizing the information of Ye Long and the others, then handed it to Steward Li.
"Continue monitoring! I’ll head to the Law Enforcent Hall. This matter requires their investigation!"
Steward Li instructed and then left with the information.
In Shenxiao Dao Sect, each departnt had its own responsibilities, and investigating their deaths fell to the Law Enforcent Hall.
At this ti, Wei Henian was unaware of the trouble caused by his subordinates’ deaths...
And Li Yunjing didn’t hesitate, leaving the cave.
Since Fu Chao and his group had already cleaned out this Tribulation Cultivator stronghold, there was nothing left. He would only be wasting ti staying here. It was better to go outside and see if he could collect any Black-winged Centipede corpses or kill any remaining Tribulation Cultivators.
As Li Yunjing reappeared outside, he saw that the battle between Si Hezhong and Xu Xun was still ongoing in the sky.
Relying on the strength of his top-grade spiritual artifact, Si Hezhong was compensating for his lack of power, fighting equally with Xu Xun.
On the ground, now bright as day, countless Black-winged Centipedes were scattering.
Apparently, with Ye Long and the others dead, no one was controlling these poisonous insects to attack the disciples of Shenxiao Dao Sect.
Suddenly, three Tribulation Cultivators appeared in front of Li Yunjing, their escape route leading toward the cave!
"Kid! You entered our cave!"
These three Tribulation Cultivators, having escaped with their lives, were clearly formidable, each at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. One burly man was shocked to see Li Yunjing.
The other two looked equally grim.
"Hehe! Of course! But your place is too poor; I found nothing in the left cave chamber!"
Li Yunjing sneered. He wasn’t afraid of them. As his voice fell, a sword aura appeared out of thin air, and mighty sword qi slashed toward the three!
"Found nothing?"
The three burly n exchanged glances, a fleeting joy flashing in their eyes.
