Jingyun Peak received bad news once again. Chu Kuang was severely injured by his own Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin technique, and his cultivation realm had already dropped.
Before Perfected Jingyun could recover from the shock, he saw the compensation list and fine brought over by the disciples of the Disciplinary Hall.
Seeing the items listed clearly on it, Perfected Jingyun felt a stifling sensation in his chest and his blood boiled.
He hadn't worried about spirit stones for a long time. Jingyun Peak always had an endless supply of spirit stones and treasures, but now Fang Zhiyi actually dared to ask Jingyun Peak for money?
"How come I didn't know the Potian Sect had these rules?" he asked in a deep voice.
The Disciplinary Hall disciples looked at each other. "Perfected One, these are the new rules established by Senior Brother Fang Zhiyi after he temporarily took over the Disciplinary Hall. He said he wants to ensure that all disciples can receive appropriate protection..."
"Bastards..." Perfected Jingyun's face turned ugly. "And what if I don't pay?"
"Well, Senior Brother said the Disciplinary Hall can enforce it..."
"Enforce it?" Murderous intent permeated the air around Perfected Jingyun. "I'd like to see how he plans to enforce it! Get lost!"
The terrifying aura made the two Disciplinary Hall disciples stumble backward, and they ran away without looking back.
"Master..." At this moment, the door behind him opened, and a weak voice came through. Perfected Jingyun slowly turned his head and looked at his youngest disciple. But strangely, he didn't feel any heartache. Instead, a thought popped into his mind: everything was caused by this disciple.
As soon as this thought appeared, Perfected Jingyun immediately shook his head. How could he think like that? That was his youngest disciple. It was just that looking at her now, Perfected Jingyun felt a sense of irritability, so he simply returned to his residence without looking back.
"Master..." Miao Yunxi called out weakly, but her eyes were full of resentment. Since she woke up, her senior brothers didn't seem to care about her as much as before, and even her master didn't come to see her... Right, she still had Li Cheng!
"Since you can't help me get revenge, I'll find Li Cheng to help me!" she gritted her teeth hatefully.
She sought out Li Cheng in the afternoon, and they were caught that same afternoon. Fang Zhiyi had set up Disciplinary Hall patrol points everywhere, and the place where Miao Yunxi secretly met Li Cheng was specifically designated as a key patrol area.
Miao Yunxi and Li Cheng were caught red-handed. When the news reached Jingyun Peak, everyone there was stunned.
Their junior sister was actually fooling around with a demonic cultivator?
No matter what, they had to save her.
Perfected Jingyun took all his disciples to the Disciplinary Hall. Upon entering, he saw his recently recovered youngest disciple kneeling there crying. Seeing him come in, she hurriedly shouted, "Master, they are all bullying me!"
But looking at her face covered in snot and tears, Perfected Jingyun felt a bit disgusted.
"Fang Zhiyi, first you injured my disciple. He was in the wrong first, so I had nothing to say. Now you've arrested my youngest disciple. Are you determined to make an enemy of my Jingyun Peak?"
"What are you saying, Perfected Jingyun? No, Martial Uncle." Fang Zhiyi smiled. "We are all just following the rules. The sect has rules that must be obeyed, right? Moreover, colluding with a demonic cultivator is a major crime, which you know perfectly well. So many people saw it, and you're still playing favorites with her?"
"Fang Zhiyi, you haven't even cleared yourself of the suspicion of being a demonic cultivator, how dare you slander my junior sister?" Relying on his master's presence, Li Qi pointed at Fang Zhiyi and questioned him.
"I'll say it again: the burden of proof lies with the accuser. You want me to prove I'm not a demonic cultivator, then why don't you prove that I am one?"
Li Qi was left speechless. "Sophistry!"
"Give it a rest. Men, bring that demonic cultivator up here." Several disciples took the order and left, then dragged a dying guy back into the room.
"Senior Brother, this guy resisted too fiercely, so we had to be a bit heavy-handed..."
At this moment, Li Cheng had been beaten so badly he barely looked human.
Miao Yunxi felt her heart ache. Such a handsome face, how could they bear to strike it!
"Li Cheng..."
"Colluding with a demonic cultivator. Her cultivation will be crippled and she will be expelled from the sect!" Fang Zhiyi said lightly.
Miao Yunxi was stunned. She turned to look at her master. Perfected Jingyun was also looking at her, his eyes full of blame. There was no way to deny this.
"Jinx," Li Qi muttered.
Miao Yunxi seemed unable to believe her ears. She turned her head and looked at Li Qi.
Li Qi felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze and turned his head away.
But it was obvious that now her senior brothers and her master were no longer protecting her as much.
Could it be because the system disappeared? Miao Yunxi finally thought of this point, and she immediately panicked. She was just a transmigrator. If she didn't have the system, wouldn't she be dead meat? No, she couldn't be expelled from the sect!
"I don't know him!"
As soon as these words came out, the bruised and swollen Li Cheng looked at her in disbelief.
"I, I was just passing by. He stopped me and forced himself on me..."
"Yunxi, you, you clearly said you wanted to leave with me..." Li Cheng looked hurt, even though he was already physically injured.
"Is this kid still affected by that 'group favorite halo' thing?" Fang Zhiyi wondered.
Little Hei took a glance. "No, he's just purely addicted."
"That's not true! I am a member of the Potian Sect, how could I be with a demonic cultivator like you!" Between saving her life and love, Miao Yunxi chose to save her life.
Li Cheng stared blankly, looking in disbelief at the sweetheart he had cared about for so long.
"Fang Zhiyi, you heard her too. My disciple is innocent," Perfected Jingyun spoke up. "Since there's nothing else, I will take her back. I will discipline her myself for the rest, so there's no need for you to worry."
But the moment he turned around, his body froze in place.
Perfected Jingyun turned his head in disbelief. "You... you... Body Integration Realm!"
His disciples were also shocked. When did Fang Zhiyi break through two realms in a row? They had no idea!
"That doesn't matter. We caught someone, and you want to take her away with just one sentence. That's against the rules, isn't it?" Fang Zhiyi slowly stood up, exuding a sharp, oppressive aura. "Moreover, I still haven't seen the compensation money from Jingyun Peak."
"Are you planning to lay a hand on me..." Before he could finish his sentence, Perfected Jingyun's vision blurred. Fang Zhiyi's smiling face was incredibly bright, and Perfected Jingyun instantly retreated several meters.
"Doesn't your Jingyun Peak like to let cultivation levels do the talking? I wonder if I'm qualified enough."
Fang Zhiyi's voice rang in his ear, and Perfected Jingyun broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sword, come!" An immortal-grade flying sword instantly appeared in his hand. With just a light swing, it carried a terrifyingly powerful sword intent! However, this sword intent was abruptly halted right at Fang Zhiyi's fingertips.
"I've heard a saying: nothing is indestructible, only speed is unbreakable."
Everyone present gasped in unison. It was their first time seeing someone catch Perfected Jingyun's sword barehanded!
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ...

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
