Chapter 522 Going to Their Doorstep (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In Li Yunjing's heart, he had already decided to teach "Tian Shu Peak" a painful lesson!
We must defeat all the opponents in one fell swoop!
Make sure all the geniuses of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" understand one thing clearly!
That is, the next sect leader is Li Yunjing!
Everyone else must give up on this idea!
We can't let this infighting continue!

Just as Li Yunjing was about to speak, Ling'er's clear voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard: "The food is here!"

As the wooden door swung open, several servants carried food boxes in one after another. The spiritual dishes on the jade plates steamed with wisps of heat, and the mellow aroma of the spiritual wine filled the air.

"eat first."

Li Yunjing raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Now that we've eaten, let's make some more plans."

He personally filled everyone's glasses with wine, the amber-colored spirit wine swirling within. "You've all suffered these past two years. This glass is my toast to you all!"

More than 800 cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above raised their cups and drank them down in one gulp. The spicy taste of the wine eased the somber atmosphere somewhat.

At the dinner table, while enjoying the spiritual food, everyone chatted about the provocations from "Tian Shu Peak" in recent days.

Li Yunjing listened quietly, taking everyone's experiences to heart, his eyes growing increasingly cold.

This contest with Tian Shu Peak should come to an end.

"Now that I'm back, I certainly won't let them run rampant anymore."

Li Yunjing calmly said, "Tell me, what has happened in the past two years?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Xiao, with his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, slammed his hand heavily on the table: "That old bastard Tian Hongzi! He actually used dirty tricks in the sect competition, almost causing my junior sister to lose her life during the competition!"

The sword at his waist hummed, and his eyes burned with fury.

"And there's the Pill Gathering!"

Another coquettish voice rang out; it was Yang Wenyue, the alchemy genius. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she exclaimed, "The people from 'Tian Shu Peak' secretly switched our medicinal herbs, rendering my 'Resurrection Pill' useless!"

As he listened to the accusations from the crowd, the jade cup in Li Yunjing's hand suddenly cracked with a "crack".

"Tomorrow, I will go and demand an explanation from Tian Hongzi."

He raised his eyes and swept them over the crowd, his gaze sharp and intense: "Before that, everyone, please drink this cup with me."

Everyone raised their glasses, the strong liquor burning their chests as it went down their throats.

With this glass of wine, everyone's morale was boosted once again.

Their leader is back!

It's time to avenge our defeat against "Tian Shu Peak"!

As night fell over Chaoyang Peak, the banquet lasted for a full day.

During the day, she complains more than she does anything else.

By evening, everyone's mood had finally improved.

Li Yunjing stood up from his chair, looked at the dense crowd, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

The members of the "Purple Cloud Party" were all here, some standing and some sitting, their eyes filled with trust in their leader.

"Everyone!"

Li Yunjing's voice was as loud as a bell, causing the candlelight in the hall to flicker. "I have gathered everyone here today for two reasons: first, it has been a long time since we last met, and I would like to catch up with you all; second, there are some things I must say."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and hundreds of jade bottles floated up, emitting a shimmering, precious light.

"These are seventh-grade 'True Essence Pills' and fifth-grade 'Foundation Building Pills.' Although they are not rare treasures, they can still help you in your cultivation."

Li Yunjing has made up his mind to do his utmost to improve the cultivation level of his direct descendants.

After all, it was one of their own people, and Li Yunjing felt he had lost face by being bullied so badly by the people of "Tian Shu Peak"!
His "Purple Cloud Party" was established too late.

In addition, he has only been rising to prominence for a little over a decade, and simply doesn't have the time to recruit those veteran powerhouses.

The core of the "Zixiao Party" was developed by Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao.

Aside from Fang Long, who was at the Golden Core Realm, almost all of Li Yunjing's friends were below the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Li Yunjing can't possibly handle everything personally, can he?

He is a leader, not a protector!
It was with this thought in mind that Li Yunjing went all out and distributed the pills he had painstakingly refined.

These pills are enough to slightly enhance the strength of these people.

Li Yunjing's actions shocked everyone.

A chorus of exclamations and gratitude erupted from the crowd as people rushed forward to receive the pills.

"Senior Brother Li, your reward is truly a timely help!"

A young disciple exclaimed excitedly, "With these pills, my breakthrough to the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm is just around the corner!"

"'Tian Shu Peak' is becoming increasingly arrogant and domineering, and is even suppressing members of my 'Zi Xiao Party'!"

After everyone had divided up all the pills, Li Yunjing's expression suddenly turned serious: "We'll talk all night tonight, and tomorrow morning, I'll go to 'Tian Shu Peak' and challenge Tian Hongzi to a public duel! I want to see if this first deputy sect leader of 'Tian Shu Peak' has the guts to come out and teach me!"

"Senior Brother Li will surely win!"

"Senior Brother Li, beat this bastard to death on the 'Grievance Platform'!"

"Yes! We can't just let this go!"

"They dare to bully us, we'll make them pay!"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and their emotions were running high.

Li Yunjing's unparalleled record made everyone believe that taking down Tian Hongzi was no problem at all!

Their day of triumph has finally arrived!
"Wait until I've dealt with Tian Hongzi!"

Li Yunjing raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued, "Go to the 'Locking Dragon Abyss' for the trial, and be promoted to deputy sect leader. Then, no one will dare to bully the 'Purple Cloud Party' anymore!"

"We believe in Senior Brother Li!"

"Senior Brother Li, you can go on your trial with peace of mind. We will guard our territory within the sect and never let 'Tian Shu Peak' succeed!"

The crowd shouted in unison, the sound almost lifting the roof off the palace.

Li Yunjing's promotion to vice sect leader means that he has truly begun to exert his efforts in the struggle for the supreme position of sect leader!
When Li Yunjing truly becomes the supreme leader, how could they not benefit?

Looking at everyone's high spirits, Li Yunjing felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

The "Purple Cloud Party" owes its success to this unity and trust.

At dawn, the gathering finally came to an end.

Li Yunjing stepped on flowing light, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, slicing through the morning mist and heading straight for "Tian Shu Peak".

His "Great Sun Robe" fluttered in the gale, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" hanging at his waist emitted a clear and melodious whistle, gathering momentum for the upcoming confrontation.

Behind him were a large number of "Zixiao Party" members.

The sight of so many people flying through the air at the same time greatly shocked the people on various mountain peaks, who had no idea what they were trying to do!
When the various mountain peaks reported the news to the elders, it was like throwing a stone into the sea—nothing came of it.

The elders said nothing more than, "Understood."

This left the people below somewhat bewildered, unsure of what major event had occurred within the sect.

Some clever people followed the elders and flew towards "Tian Shu Peak"!
More and more people appeared around "Tian Shu Peak".

The disciples patrolling Tian Shu Peak were not blind. When they saw Li Yunjing leading a large group of fellow disciples to their territory, they immediately erupted in a frenzy, with shouts and messages echoing throughout the entire mountain.

"Tian Hongzi! Get out here!"

Li Yunjing stood in mid-air, his voice resounding throughout the surrounding area.

His voice, carrying a powerful momentum, echoed like thunder across Tian Shu Peak, startling the birds in the mountains and causing even the rubble on the cliff face to fall in a flurry.

Since they've come looking for trouble, we're not going to give them any face at all!
Inside the main hall of "Tian Shu Peak", Tian Hongzi, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a flash of anger in his eyes.

He stood up abruptly, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the hall, followed by dozens of elders and a group of true disciples.

"Li Yunjing, what do you mean by this?"

Tian Hongzi stared at Li Yunjing, who was suspended in mid-air, his face ashen: "Do you think you can run wild on my 'Tian Shu Peak'? Do you think there's no one on my 'Tian Shu Peak'?"

"Tian Hongzi, stop pretending to be confused!"

Li Yunjing's gaze flashed like lightning as he coldly swept over Tian Hongzi: "Your disciples have repeatedly bullied my 'Zixiao Party,' do you think I'm some kind of clay figure to be easily manipulated? Today, I will settle this score with you on this 'Grievance Platform.' Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his spiritual energy surged, and an invisible pressure pressed down on "Tian Shu Peak." Even the restrictions on "Tian Shu Peak" were forced to activate under this power, emitting a layer of precious light that enveloped the entire mountain.

Tian Hongzi's pupils contracted slightly, and he was secretly shocked to find that Li Yunjing's strength was even greater than the rumors suggested!
However, at this moment, there were at least three or four thousand people from all sides watching, if not five thousand.

How could Tian Hongzi possibly be intimidated in such a situation?
"Just you?"

Ignoring the elders' advice, Tian Hongzi stepped forward, his face cold and stern, and sneered, "You think you're worthy to fight me? You're just a junior who rose to power by luck. Do you really think you can turn the world upside down?"

"Hmph! Enough with the nonsense! Do you dare to fight? Just say the word!" Li Yunjing had absolutely no interest in wasting words with him!
After asking the question, with a clang, Li Yunjing suddenly drew the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword". The blade flashed with cold light, and the sword energy crisscrossed, tearing the surrounding clouds into pieces.

Seven-colored divine light enveloped "Tian Shu Peak" like a sharp sword hanging over its head, ready to fall at any moment!
This feeling enraged countless enemies of "Tian Shu Peak". Li Yunjing had gone too far, actually coming to their doorstep. He didn't take "Tian Shu Peak" seriously at all!

"Good grief! This time it's really going to be a fight!"

"Senior Brother Li Yunjing is back, definitely because of the 'Zixiao Party' being bullied by 'Tianshu Peak'!"

"There's a good show to watch!"

……

They were all disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," so naturally, the others who were just watching the show wouldn't help.

The disciples who were watching the spectacle quickly retreated, afraid of being affected by the seven-colored sword energy.

"Damn it! Li Yunjing, that bastard!"

Tian Hongzi was provoked by Li Yunjing's imposing manner, and with so many disciples present, he knew that if he didn't accept the challenge, his prestige would surely be ruined in the future.

Let alone competing for the position of the supreme leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", he probably won't even be able to keep his title as the chief disciple of "Tian Shu Peak".

After all, no mountain peak would choose a coward as its senior leader!
"Let's fight! I want to see what you're made of, you little brat!"

Tian Hongzi gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

After saying that, a golden magic sword appeared in his hand, and spiritual energy surged wildly around him, causing the entire "Tian Shu Peak" to tremble slightly due to his aura.

Of course, that's a shortcut.

It was Tian Hongzi who used the array formation of "Tian Shu Peak" to enhance it. If he relied solely on his own strength, he would not have been able to shake a sacred mountain!
"Alright! Come with me to the Platform of Grudges, see you there!"

Li Yunjing sheathed his sword, his body radiating brilliant light. "If you don't dare to come, then get out of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass yourself!"

After saying this, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon, heading directly to "Enforcement Peak".

The disciples from the other peaks also flew away, following Li Yunjing's direction, leaving behind only Tian Hongzi with an angry face and a group of shocked "Tian Shu Peak" disciples.

After Li Yunjing left, the main hall of Tian Shu Peak fell into a deathly silence.

"Crunch crunch..."

The veins on Tian Hongzi's hand, gripping the golden magic sword, bulged, and the blade scraped against the ground, making a piercing sound that stood out starkly in the silence.

"Tian Hongzi, Li Yunjing is coming with great force. Do you really want to accept the challenge?"

The dozens of elders looked at each other in bewilderment. Among them, the white-haired Xuan Kongzi was the first to break the silence: "It is rumored that his strength is already enough to contend with experts at the seventh or eighth level of the Golden Core Realm."

"enough!"

Tian Hongzi turned around abruptly, his eyes bloodshot. "Am I supposed to back down in front of thousands of people? To lose face for 'Tian Shu Peak'?"

On "Tian Shu Peak", the patrolling disciples gathered in twos and threes at the foot of the mountain, whispering among themselves as they watched the gradually dimming barrier light screen.

"I still remember the scene when Yan Song fell during the last showdown on the platform of grudges..."

A young disciple's voice trembled, "I heard that Li Yunjing is even more powerful than Long Feiyang, and our senior brother..."

"Shut up!"

The deacon leading the group shouted sternly, but couldn't help but tighten his grip on the sword at his waist.

Everyone else remained silent.

The "Enmity Platform" has publicly challenged each other, and once both sides agree, nothing can change that.

Life and death, survival or destruction, all depend on the choices made by the victors!

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing anyone can do.

Tian Hongzi's spiritual energy surged wildly, and his golden magic sword pointed straight at the sky, causing the glazed tiles on the main hall's dome to rattle.

He flicked his sleeve, knocking away Elder Xuan Kongzi who tried to stop him, and sneered, "If we don't fight today, the reputation of 'Tian Shu Peak' will be ruined!"

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a blinding golden light, tearing through the clouds and hurtling toward "Enforcement Peak." The gale he created along the way shredded all the spiritual herbs on several mountain peaks.

"Sigh... Let's go and cheer for Tianhongzi too!"

Xuan Kongzi sighed with a gloomy face and took the lead in flying up. The elders had no choice but to follow.

But a sense of worry was lingering in their hearts!

Li Yunjing is definitely not someone to be trifled with!

Currently, many factions within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" have sided with Li Yunjing, supporting him to become the next sect leader.

I heard that even the sect leader has taken a liking to Li Yunjing.

Within "Tian Shu Peak," many elders also resigned themselves to their fate.

However, Tian Hongzi was unconvinced and still wanted to fight with all his might, which led to the chaos that occurred earlier.

Now that Li Yunjing has come knocking on their door, these elders have no choice but to accept it.

They're in the wrong!
If it weren't for these elders supporting Tian Hongzi and working with the people from the "Enforcement Hall," many disciples of "Tian Shu Peak" would have been imprisoned in the Divine Prison long ago and punished by the sect.

Now that Li Yunjing has proposed a one-on-one duel, who can say anything?
Within "Tian Shu Peak," there are naturally some Supreme Elders living in seclusion. Li Yunjing's actions caused quite a stir, and everyone knows about them.

How could those important figures not know?
But the big shots have even bigger concerns!
Qin Jiuxiao was already very powerful in the Supreme Elder Council of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". He had a high level of cultivation, a high status, and wielded considerable power.

He openly tried to win over the Supreme Elder for his closed-door disciple; who would dare to disrespect him?

Even before Li Yunjing broke through to the Golden Core Realm, half of the people already assumed that Li Yunjing would be the next Sect Master.

The remaining half of the group were cautious; they wouldn't easily agree to Li Yunjing's proposal unless he broke through to the Golden Core realm.

Now, Li Yunjing has returned from the "Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm" and has truly advanced to the Golden Core Realm. He will soon participate in the trial assessment for the Vice Sect Leader. If he passes, he will become a candidate for the Sect Leader of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

Many of the remaining half of the Supreme Elders voted in favor.

The rest of the people will probably wait until Li Yunjing becomes the vice sect leader before making any moves!

After all, the trial mission was extremely dangerous.

If he succeeds, everything will be fine; if he fails, Li Yunjing may perish.

That's why it didn't pass unanimously.

The elders of Tian Shu Peak naturally wouldn't vote for Li Yunjing. Their disciples were still striving to be the first to vote, so how could they possibly vote for him directly?
The situation is just too bad.

Even the Supreme Elders tacitly agreed that Li Yunjing would win; it was just a pity for Tian Hongzi.

……

At this moment, in front of the "Enforcement Peak" and the "Grievance Platform".

Li Yunjing and the members of the Zixiao Party stood aside, waiting for the arrival of the "Tian Shu Peak" group.

The people of the "Enforcement Hall" had already received the news and sent Elder Yu Yuanhua to be in charge of the refereeing.

"You're really good at getting into trouble!"

Yu Yuanhua looked at Li Yunjing, shook his head and sighed.

"Hehe! Elder Yu, I had no choice! Kindness is often taken advantage of!"

Li Yunjing remained very polite to his former boss, joking with Yu Yuanhua.

"You're a kind person?"

Yu Yuanhua couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Yunjing and shake his head. He felt quite uneasy about the impending death of a genius today.

However, once things escalate to the "grudge table," the situation is definitely beyond repair.

He wouldn't need to waste his breath trying to persuade him.

Before long, a series of booming sounds came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw that Tian Hongzi was surrounded by nine golden chains, like a demon god descending to earth, swooping down with a world-destroying aura.

Behind him were a large number of disciples of "Tian Shu Peak".

At this moment, even those who didn't have a high opinion of Tian Hongzi still rushed over to cheer for their senior brother and boost his morale.

"Li Yunjing! Today I'll show you the power of 'Tian Shu Peak'!"

Tian Hongzi's roar made everyone's eardrums hurt. He immediately went up to the "Grievance Platform"!
"Hmph! Then I'll see what you've got!"

Without any hesitation, Li Yunjing followed suit and went up to the "Grievance Platform" almost immediately after him.

Once both parties were on the platform, Yu Yuanhua immediately activated the restriction on the "Grievance Platform," enveloping them both. As long as one party did not admit defeat, the restriction would not be opened!
