CHAPTER 525: CHAPTER 279: THE THICKEST SKIN

"I remember now! It seems it was the Deputy City Lord of ’City of Glory’ who wrongly judged me?"

At this moment, Li Yunjing was unwilling to admit guilt.

This matter was definitely a wrongful accusation!

Unlike the previous time when he murdered a fellow disciple, Li Yunjing didn’t think he was wrong.

He would absolutely not take the blame for something that wasn’t his fault!

Even facing the Sect Leader Venerable or the Palace Master of ’Seven Star Palace,’ Li Yunjing was not willing to retreat!

That wasn’t his character!

He would never carry the black pot or wear a green hat!

"Hmph! You harmed the alliance between ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ and ’Primordial Yang Dao Sect.’ Is that still a trivial matter?"

Seeing Li Yunjing dare to argue, Palace Master Qin sneered coldly, his face darkened, and he began to reprimand Li Yunjing.

"Uh..."

His own boss was angry, leaving Li Yunjing speechless. Even though the person’s status was high, he dared not speak out and could only bow his head in silence.

Admit his mistake?

That was impossible!

"Hmm?"

Palace Master Qin saw Li Yunjing’s silence and knew this kid wasn’t convinced, which angered him further.

"Hehe!"

Seeing Li Yunjing’s stubborn expression, Ming Lingchuan laughed and said, "Since ’City of Glory’ has handed down a punishment, we should respect their decision."

"Hmm!"

Seeing Ming Lingchuan’s words, Palace Master Qin realized that the Sect Leader Venerable understood his intent to give Li Yunjing a slight lesson.

Palace Master Qin valued Li Yunjing greatly.

But Li Yunjing wasn’t an honest person. As soon as he entered the sect, he was bold enough to design assaults on fellow disciples, contact various forces, and suppress the ’Laws Association.’

Currently, Li Yunjing was very close to the little girls of the Yu Family and Lv Family, had formed a Dao partnership, and teamed up with the unreliable young man from the Fu Family. These people gathered to form a powerful force.

Among this group, there were more than a dozen True Disciples, along with those Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and Inner Sect disciples. This kid was almost turning the sky upside down, attempting to form a second ’Laws Association’?

This was the true reason why Palace Master Qin wanted to knock Li Yunjing down a peg!

Within ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ there were countless small circles, small teams, and even family powers interwoven. However, Li Yunjing’s team was an extremely powerful new force.

Palace Master Qin didn’t want Li Yunjing to prematurely fall into the whirlpool of power struggles. His cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Realm Second Heaven required immediate stability, focused cultivation, and striving for early Core Formation.

Those petty troubles should be left until Li Yunjing’s cultivation improved to resolve.

This well-meaning intent was temporarily unknown to Li Yunjing.

"Since that’s the case, I’ve decided to send you to the Divine Prison for three years!"

Palace Master Qin’s lips curled into a smile as he lightly said.

Three years was the decision Palace Master Qin made after weighing the pros and cons.

In three years, Li Yunjing could comprehend the knowledge passed down from his Foundation Establishment Realm advancements, and he would have time to cultivate Divine Techniques and research Array Dao, focusing his energy on cultivation.

Also, after three years, when Li Yunjing was released, his team might no longer be under his control, and at that time, this kid might have lost his ambition for dominance.

This multi-purpose plan was precisely Palace Master Qin’s intention.

"What?"

Li Yunjing was dumbfounded by Palace Master Qin’s words, his big eyes widened as he looked at Palace Master Qin, and then up at Ming Lingchuan, hardly able to believe his ears!

Wasn’t this framing?

Li Yunjing felt more wronged than Dou E!

Even June’s snow wasn’t enough to describe Li Yunjing’s feelings!

"Three years is not long. Spend time in Divine Prison for reflection and put all your energy into cultivation. This period will be a special training."

Ming Lingchuan explained.

Palace Master Qin was too domineering. Though he acted out of goodwill, his fierce demeanor wasn’t receptive to talking to Li Yunjing. Over time, if this kid bore a grudge, it wouldn’t be good.

Hence, as Sect Leader Venerable, Ming Lingchuan explained.

"Yes! Disciple will adhere to the Sect Leader Venerable and Palace Master’s decree and undergo proper reflection!"

Three years of punishment was essentially a retreat, and at this moment, Li Yunjing realized what was going on.

So smart was he, Li Yunjing understood immediately. He let go of his grievances against Palace Master Qin, clearly acknowledging that entering Divine Prison wouldn’t cause him harm.

At most, it would limit his actions, quiet him down, and allow for proper cultivation over three years, preventing him from stirring trouble externally, causing unnecessary issues, and affecting ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ internal peace.

Li Yunjing also understood that his current strength didn’t enable him to be arrogant within ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’

Advancing to True Disciple, Li Yunjing’s status had changed.

From now on, those he interacted with would be True Disciples, Sect Elders, and top Stewards.

Among True Disciples, aside from some without ambition, the rest were all vying for the Sect Leader Venerable position.

Within Li Yunjing’s team, the core members were Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, Fu Chao, and others including Yang Wenzheng and several True Disciples, plus some renowned Inner Sect disciples.

Li Yunjing’s team could absolutely be described as a force with immense potential.

Especially some prodigies like Fu Chao, who would defy everything and become inevitable clashes with established True Disciples if they stayed long in the sect.
