Chapter 293 Verbal Reprimand (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Boom!"

Just as Li Yunjing and his group were killing the Yinshan Bone Demon and preparing to collect their spoils, a sudden upheaval occurred in the sky, as a violent force surged forth.

Standing on the ground, Li Yunjing and his six companions immediately surrounded the corpse of the Yinshan Bone Demon and became alert.

That force was simply too great.

A powerful, oppressive aura swept over the already devastated ground, sending debris and dust flying everywhere...

If Li Yunjing and the other six hadn't stood together, forming a "Seven Star Formation" and using their own protective energy to shield them from the debris, they would all have been affected.

None of the seven looked well!
As they looked up at the sky, they saw a figure standing proudly atop a white cloud, the aura emanating from him belonging to their fellow disciples.

Who is this?

Such a high level of cultivation?

However, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you shouldn't use your power to oppress others!

We've already dealt with the Yinshan Bone Demon, and you've come in all aggressive and menacing. Are you targeting us?

"Li Chuanghai!"

Lu Ruoxi, who had been a disciple the longest, seemed to remember who this person was and murmured to herself.

"Li Chuanghai?"

Li Yunjing secretly asked via telepathy.

"A Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Level expert! Not one of the sect's top ten true disciples, but his cultivation is not low; he's among the top thirty Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in the sect!"

Li Yunjing has quite a temper, and fearing a conflict between him and Li Chuanghai, Lü Ruoxi quickly reminded him.

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Senior Brother Li, the Yinshan Bone Demon has been killed by the seven of us, and the wanted mission is complete."

"Very good! Hand over the corpse of the Yinshan Bone Demon to me. I will take it back to the sect to verify its identity. Your contributions will also be recorded!"

The cloud mass descended to a height of a hundred feet. Li Chuanghai's expression was solemn, exuding an imposing aura without anger, and he spoke coldly.

"Wow..."

As soon as Li Chuanghai finished speaking, Li Yunjing and his group of seven became agitated.

What does this mean?
Are you going to rob me outright?

Others might fear him, but Li Yunjing was not. He sneered, "Senior Brother Li, there's no need to trouble yourself with that! The seven of us will take the corpse of the Yinshan Bone Demon back to the sect to claim our reward! We don't need anyone unrelated to us to collect it on our behalf!"

"Not bad!"

Li Yunjing stepped forward, and the other four fellow disciples also expressed their support.

Li Chuanghai is amazing!

But no matter how powerful you are, you can't bully people like this, right?

Anyway, everyone is a member of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", and their status is not low.

Due to the rules of the sect, no matter how ruthless Li Chuanghai was, he could not kill them.

For the sake of "Danyang Fruit", everyone naturally stood with Li Yunjing and worked together.

"Huh? You dare to disobey my orders?"

Li Chuanghai was already short-tempered, and the "Danyang Fruit" held extraordinary significance for him.

That's why he relied on his strength to try and subdue Li Yunjing and the others.

I never expected that these people, whose cultivation levels are not high, would dare to talk back.

This infuriated Li Chuanghai!
Before Li Yunjing and the others could say anything, Li Chuanghai, in a fit of rage, leaped down from the clouds and arrived in front of Li Yunjing and his group of seven in a few bounds.

This person moved so fast that he created countless afterimages in the void.

As if traversing space, it appeared out of thin air in front of Li Yunjing.

"Boom!"

Seemingly in an attempt to increase his own prestige, the moment Li Chuanghai landed...

A curtain of light enveloped him, interspersed with several bolts of lightning that bombarded Li Yunjing and the others.

Everyone understood what Li Chuanghai meant; this was a blatant threat!
However, the group was not to be trifled with and did not believe that Li Chuanghai would actually fight them for the "Danyang Fruit"!

Therefore, Li Yunjing and his group, though their faces were grim, remained motionless, simply watching Li Chuanghai's performance with cold indifference.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At that moment, streams of light continued to fly in from all around, most of them Foundation Establishment cultivators from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"; there were also some people from other sects mixed in.

After the previous five Foundation Establishment cultivators perished, could their backers, relatives, and friends remain indifferent?
These people also came after them.

Whether these people were thinking of avenging their friend or for the "Danyang Fruit," only they themselves know.

"Fellow Daoists, slaying the Yinshan Bone Demon is truly gratifying and a blessing to our immortal path!"

At this moment, an old Taoist from another sect seemed to notice the difference in the atmosphere within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". He stepped forward and said with a smile.

However, there seemed to be an unfriendly glint in that smile, a hint of mockery.

With outsiders present, Li Chuanghai withdrew his supernatural powers, and Li Yunjing and the others stopped glaring at him. In front of others, as disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," they still had to consider their reputation.

"Old Daoist Qingfeng, we have already killed the Yinshan Bone Demon here. You are all safe and can leave now."

Li Chuanghai said coldly.

"Of course! This fellow disciple of the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' has profound cultivation and has slain demons. However, the Yinshan Bone Demon killed my fellow disciple. Daoist Xuqian, I request that your fellow Daoist return my fellow Daoist's belongings."

The old Taoist priest Qingfeng chuckled and continued speaking.

"Indeed! My senior sister also perished at the hands of the Yinshan Bone Demon. I implore all fellow Daoists of the Shenxiao Dao Sect to uphold justice and return her belongings!"

With Qingfeng Laodao taking the lead, others spoke up as well.

Then, one after another, these people started to speak.

This scene made the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" feel as disgusted as if they had swallowed a fly.

Especially Li Yunjing and his seven companions! According to custom, whoever kills the enemy and seizes the spoils of war belongs to that individual.

It's somewhat against the rules for these people to ask for the remains now.

However, they weren't being unreasonable; after all, the spoils were still on the ground, and Li Yunjing and his group hadn't gotten their hands on them yet.

Li Yunjing was furious and glared fiercely at Li Chuanghai!
If it weren't for this person causing trouble, they would have cleaned up the battlefield and retreated back to their sect long ago. How could they have been surrounded by such a group of people?

Moreover, these new fellow disciples were all staring at the corpse of the Yinshan Bone Demon with bloodshot eyes.

Countless Foundation Establishment cultivators yearn for those treasures that can help them form their Core!

The corpse of the Yinshan Bone Demon lay on the ground, with a total of nine "Danyang Fruits." Who wouldn't want one?

"Alright! We will return the relics you mentioned, but we need to wait for our sect's seniors to examine them and determine the heir before we return them to your respective factions!"

Faced with this pack of wolves, Li Yunjing had no choice but to speak. His words were loud and carried far.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators from other factions showed expressions of disappointment.

They said these things on purpose, hoping to provoke the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and see if they could take advantage of the chaos to obtain a "Danyang Fruit".

Now that they see that Li Yunjing's words are reasonable and well-founded, and that these people's conspiracy has failed, they are naturally very disappointed.

Li Yunjing secretly transmitted his voice to his four fellow disciples, assuring each of them that they would receive a "Danyang Fruit." After stabilizing the situation, he then used his palm to unleash a golden light, grabbing the corpse of the Yinshan Bone Demon and sending it flying toward his "storage ring."
"stop!"

Seeing this, several Foundation Establishment cultivators from other sects became anxious and couldn't help but shout. Some even used their magic power to try to stop Li Yunjing from taking away the corpse of the Yinshan Bone Demon!
At this critical moment, everyone panicked and no longer cared about the power of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

"court death!"

Seeing that these people still dared to attack him, Li Yunjing's face darkened, and he gave them a fierce look that made them shudder.

At the same time, a bolt of lightning shot out from between Li Yunjing's eyebrows, crackling and popping, countless bolts of electricity shooting out in all directions from the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal".

The magical powers that tried to stop Li Yunjing from collecting the corpse of the "Yinshan Bone Demon" were shattered and could no longer stop him. Everyone watched as the corpse of the Yinshan Bone Demon disappeared and entered his "storage ring".

Even Li Chuanghai felt a slight pang in his heart when he saw it; it was truly unbearable!
If he could obtain nine "Danyang Fruits," he could exchange them for enough resources to assist him in forming his core!
Even at this point, Li Chuanghai still spoke up: "Li Yunjing, please hand over the corpse of the Yinshan Bone Demon and those relics, especially the 'Danyang Fruit'. After all, these things are treasures that I and nine other fellow Daoists, including Fang Long, fought for together. It's a bit unfair for you to take all of these things by yourself, isn't it?"

Li Chuanghai was a master at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his words carried great weight. As soon as he spoke, many disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and other sects present echoed his words.

Seeing that some of his fellow disciples also seemed to want a piece of the pie, Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly.

When you encounter something valuable at a crucial moment, even your fellow disciples can't be relied upon!
“Brother Li is right. We fought to the death in ‘Black Mountain’ before, we can’t have gotten nothing out of it, can we?”

“Indeed! We searched an area of ​​thousands of miles before. Otherwise, how could the Yinshan Bone Demon have been forced to show itself?”

……

Fellow disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were discussing it amongst themselves.

"Li Chuanghai, you're talking nonsense!"

Seeing that everyone seemed to be targeting him, Li Yunjing suddenly became furious. His voice suddenly rang out, and everyone was shocked and turned pale. No one expected that Li Yunjing would directly curse a strong person like Li Chuanghai.
This still publicly reveals the internal discord within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators from other sects were secretly astonished: "This person is incredibly audacious!"

"What? You dare to insult me?"

Li Chuanghai was somewhat stunned. His expression was blank, as if he couldn't believe that someone would dare to curse him like that.

Looking at the grotesque Li Chuanghai, Li Yunjing was already determined to go all out. He continued to curse, "The rules of the immortal path and the rules of the sect are that whoever kills the enemy gets the spoils!"

"Li Chuanghai, you bunch of good-for-nothings, you're all incompetent! You can't even handle the Yinshan Bone Demon!"

"You still need me to come out of the mountain gate and clean up your mess!"

"My fellow Daoists and I dealt with the Yinshan Bone Demon, yet instead of being grateful, you coveted the 'Danyang Fruit.' Ask yourselves honestly, what does this thing have to do with you?"

"Hehe! Don't think I don't know what you're up to, Li Chuanghai! I can tell at a glance that you have no hope of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm. This life is just like that, a complete waste. Now that you've seen the 'Danyang Fruit,' your confidence has been rekindled, and you want to use this rare treasure to break through to the Golden Core Realm?"

"Let me tell you! With your current state, let alone a mere 'Danyang Fruit,' even if you were given a 'Ginseng Fruit' from heaven, you still wouldn't be able to break through to the Golden Core Realm. That's because you've already developed inner demons, you know you're no good, you have no chance, and your path in this life is set in stone! You're ruined!"

Li Yunjing spoke rapidly, in rapid succession, his words so scathing that Li Chuanghai trembled, pointing at Li Yunjing, speechless for a moment.

Some of the fellow disciples from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" who had rushed over lowered their heads in shame upon hearing Li Yunjing's words.

Li Yunjing is absolutely right!

They only put on a show of pressure because they saw Li Chuanghai taking the lead and wanted to take the opportunity to get a share of the profits.

Now, those who had been rebuked by Li Yunjing were all red-faced and speechless.

The six people behind Li Yunjing, including Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi, also stared in disbelief at Li Yunjing's back, none of them knowing what to say.

Li Yunjing's words were too harsh!

They've completely fallen out with Li Chuanghai!
"you wanna die!"

Li Chuanghai finally couldn't take it anymore. As a true disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and a cultivator at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he held a high position and great power, and was very imposing wherever he went.

If he went to other immortal sects, the elders and sect leaders would come out to greet him with great pomp and circumstance, not to mention that no one would dare to insult him.

Now, he was being cursed at without any restraint by his fellow disciple in front of everyone.

How could he tolerate Li Yunjing, a mere disciple of the true lineage, daring to challenge his authority so brazenly?
Li Chuanghai raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning shot out, heading straight for Li Yunjing!

At this point, Li Chuanghai was consumed by rage and had lost all reason.

With this attack, he no longer cared about killing his fellow disciples.
At this moment, Li Chuanghai's mind went blank, with only one thought in mind: he wanted to kill Li Yunjing immediately!

"How dare you! Li Chuanghai, are you going to betray the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' and turn to the demonic path? I think you should go to the Divine Prison and reflect on your actions!"

Seeing Li Chuanghai make his move, Li Yunjing took a step forward, his five fingers like hooks, and grabbed the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal". The seal blocked the lightning. With a "boom", the lightning struck the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal", and after a flash of lightning, the lightning dissipated.

Li Yunjing held the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" and commanded thunder magic throughout the land.

Even if Li Chuanghai were stronger, he couldn't do anything to Li Yunjing in the slightest.

"Li Chuanghai! Are you trying to betray the sect?!"

"Capture Li Chuanghai, take him to the 'Hall of Enforcement' and hand him over to the sect for trial!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi were enraged. They each drew their spirit swords and, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Yunjing, pointed them at Li Chuanghai, intending to capture him.
