Chapter 723 Joining Forces to Intercept and Kill Aman (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
What brings these senior disciples here?

Those true disciples wore robes embroidered with thunder patterns, and the silver threads at the cuffs shimmered faintly in the sunlight.

"Junior Brother Lin, I have come here by order of the Sect Leader to welcome our new junior brothers and sisters."

The leading female disciple stepped forward and nodded slightly to Lin Xuan: "In addition, we would like to see Vice Sect Leader Li."

"The senior disciples personally came to greet us..."

The new disciples held their breath instantly, and even Ah Man couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Alright! I'll go and inform them."

Lin Xuan nodded, turned and left to inform Li Yunjing in the cabin.

"You're Aman?"

As Lin Xuan left the deck, the female disciple's gaze swept over the new disciples on the deck, finally landing on A'man. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Elder Lei mentioned you in the message, saying that you are a rare thunder physique that appears only once in a thousand years."

Aman subconsciously straightened his back, but instead of bowing his head like the others, he simply met the female disciple's gaze and nodded.

"She certainly has a fiery temper."

The female disciple chuckled softly, a tiny wisp of purple lightning suddenly appearing at her fingertips. "However, if one doesn't know how to control the 'Thunderclap Body,' it can harm oneself."

The electric sparks danced between her fingers, making a soft crackling sound that caused the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

The new disciples unconsciously took a half step back, but Aman stared at the bolt of lightning, a faint silver light flashing in her pupils.

"Is Senior Sister Liu scaring the newbies again?"

A gentle male voice came from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw a handsome senior disciple standing with his hands behind his back, the jade pendant at his waist swaying gently in the wind. "The Thunderclap Body becomes stronger when it encounters a strong opponent. The more you provoke it, the greater the backlash will be."

Clearly, people like Aman have already attracted the attention of the true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Some want to test him, some want to suppress him, and some want to offer him a favor...

"Junior Brother Zhao certainly knows how to do favors."

Senior Sister Liu gave a light snort and dispelled the electric light in her hand: "However..."

She suddenly turned towards the cabin, and all the true disciples simultaneously straightened their clothes.

The sound of heavy footsteps came closer and closer.

Li Yunjing appeared on the deck in a dark black robe, the nine-layered thunder pattern embroidered in gold thread on the cuffs shining brightly in the sunlight.

His gaze swept over the crowd, pausing slightly on Aman. The new disciples immediately felt an invisible pressure.

"Disciple greets Vice Sect Leader Li!"

All the true disciples and ordinary newcomers bowed and paid their respects, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

"Ok!"

Li Yun nodded at the scenic spot without saying anything.

He was naturally aware that these true disciples had boarded the "Sky Patrol Ship" earlier, but given his status, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to show up just because a few disciples had come.

The necessary communication should still be maintained.

"Where is the sect leader's decree?"

Li Yunjing spoke, his voice not loud, yet it calmed the wind on the deck.

Senior Sister Liu quickly took out a golden jade slip and presented it with both hands: "The sect leader has decreed that Vice Sect Leader Li will bring the new disciple back to the sect and temporarily take charge of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' and..."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Aman, "The sect leader heard that the 'Youyue Kingdom' has selected the 'Thunderous Physique' and has specially ordered this child to join the core class of the 'Thunder Hall', where he will be personally instructed by Elder Lei Ze."

The new disciples were in an uproar!

The core class is taught by Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and only true disciples are qualified to audit it. How could Aman, a newly initiated inner disciple, be able to enter directly?

The true disciple was qualified to listen in, but in reality, such sessions were held only once every few years. Some people waited for a hundred years without ever seeing a true master preach.

The implication now is that a Supreme Elder is specifically giving sermons to Aman.

What kind of treatment is this?
He was practically a disciple of the Supreme Elder!
In terms of status, this is far more noble than that of a true disciple.

After all, only a few true disciples can stand out from the crowd. Only by reaching the position of vice sect leader or supreme sect leader can one be considered to be in a high position.

There is a rule in the sect that true disciples who break through to the Golden Core realm can participate in the assessment for the position of deputy sect leader. However, the assessment is extremely difficult, and very few people can actually complete the task and become the deputy sect leader.

Therefore, even the true disciples expressed envy towards the treatment Aman received.

Aman herself was stunned, and suddenly looked up at Li Yunjing, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Li Yunjing took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and then put it into his sleeve. He did not immediately respond to the sect leader's arrangement, but instead looked at the true disciple Liu Xianzi: "You lot, instead of cultivating in the 'Thunder Swamp Academy,' you came to watch the fun?"

"The disciples want to..."

Senior Sister Liu's cheeks flushed slightly: "Let me see for myself the promising talents that the Vice Sect Leader brought back from 'Youyue Kingdom'."

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Aman, "After all, a once-in-a-millennium thunderbolt body is worth seeing."

"Oh?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow and suddenly said to Aman, "If Senior Sister Liu wants to see your skills, then show us what you've got."

Aman was taken aback, then clenched her fist, and the lightning power within her body quietly began to circulate.

He didn't use his full strength; he simply pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly slashed at a blue stone on the deck.

A pale purple streak of lightning flashed, and the bluestone silently split in two, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

"You've gotten the basics of lightning control."

A hint of surprise flashed in Senior Sister Liu's eyes, but she still stubbornly insisted, "I just don't know how it goes in actual combat?"

"No need."

Li Yunjing raised his hand to stop her, "Aman's cultivation is still shallow, she needs time."

"The advantage of the Thunderclap Body lies in its affinity with the thunder power of heaven and earth, rather than its sheer force."

He looked at Aman and said in a calm tone, "After you go back, copy the 'Gentle Thunder Chapter' of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method a hundred times and hand it in three days later."

Aman felt a chill run down her spine.

He was unaware that the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method" also had a "Gentle Thunder Chapter," which clearly meant that Elder Lei hadn't taught him the whole thing.

This was clearly Li Yunjing giving him pointers, telling him to calm down and hone his foundation.

He bowed and replied, "Yes, disciple obeys."

"The deputy sect leader is right."

Seeing this, Senior Brother Zhao spoke up at the opportune moment: "Although Junior Brother Aman has high talent, he needs to proceed step by step. How about... I guide him to familiarize himself with the rules of Thunder Hall?"

Li Yunjing nodded: "Alright. Lin Xuan, take the other new disciples to their rooms and settle in. I have some important matters to discuss with a few true disciples."

"is teacher."

Lin Xuan responded and led the new disciples away from the deck.

Before leaving, he gave Ah Man a wink, signaling him to calm down.

"Vice Sect Leader, there is another matter that the Sect Leader would like to discuss with me upon our return to the sect."

After the new disciples left, Senior Sister Liu said seriously, "The Tianluo Dao Sect has recently sent more cultivators to the edge of the Hengyue Mountains. It seems they are trying to find out about our new disciples. There may be some unusual activity going on."

"As expected."

Looking down at the endless "Hengyue Mountain Range," Li Yunjing said, "I will stay here for three days. If there is any information about the 'Tianluo Dao Sect,' please report it to me."

As a top expert of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", Li Yunjing naturally had to help his sect and solve the problem of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" since he was passing by.

"Yes!"

The disciples breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"As for Aman..."

Li Yunjing looked at Zhao Hao and said, "His Thunderous Body is a double-edged sword. It can be a sharp weapon, but it can also backfire. Zhao Hao, you are calm and steady, so please keep an eye on him for me and don't let him be used as a pawn."

The true disciple, Senior Brother Zhao, bowed and said, "This disciple understands."

After making the arrangements, Li Yunjing turned and walked towards the cabin.

On the deck, Senior Sister Liu watched his retreating figure and said to Senior Brother Zhao, "Do you think the Vice Sect Leader is being too attentive to this Ah Man?"

"If the 'Thunderbolt Body' can be developed into a useful talent, it will become the pillar of our sect in the future."

Zhao Hao looked towards the cabin and laughed, "The Vice Sect Leader is... paving the way for the future of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

Just as everyone was discussing this, the "sky patrol ship" stopped moving forward and hovered in the sky.

The space patrol ship hovered high in the sky for a day, and the atmosphere on board instantly became heavy.

The new disciples, puzzled, clung to the railings and looked down. They saw that the once clear outline of the mountains and forests below was now shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist, with dark shadows flickering within the mist.

"alert!"

Zhao Hao's expression hardened, and the jade pendant at his waist suddenly emitted a rapid buzzing sound.

This is a specially made "warning jade" from the sect, which will only activate when it senses hostility from someone with a cultivation level of Golden Core or higher.

"They're from the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'!"

Senior Sister Liu's fingertips once again gathered purple lightning, her gaze sharp as an eagle: "They actually dared to take the initiative to attack within the territory of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

Before the words were finished, the layer of gray mist suddenly exploded, and dozens of gray shadows soared into the sky, heading straight for the "Sky Patrol Ship"!
The leader was an old man with a sinister face, holding a black whisk in his hand. The whisk's filaments were actually composed of countless poison needles as fine as hair, drawing eerie arcs in the air. "A few mere Golden Core cultivators dare to act so wildly?"

Li Yunjing's calm voice came from the direction of the cabin, and then a bolt of lightning shot out from inside the cabin, blocking the attack from the outside.

"Li Yunjing!"

Seeing this, the elder from the Tianluo Dao Sect showed a hint of fear in his eyes, but still sneered, "Hand over that 'Thunderous Body,' and I'll spare the lives of you new disciples today!"

"Who gave you the courage?"

Li Yunjing slowly walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck, put his hands behind his back, and smiled, "How dare you covet the disciples of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'?"

"hey-hey!"

The old man, standing three hundred feet away from the "Sky Patrol Ship," sneered, "We are naturally no match for you, but there are others who are!"

"Oh?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Who? Let him come out!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Just then, a powerful gust of air erupted in the distant sky, with blue light shooting into the sky and sweeping in.

"Fei Zhenrong!"

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened, and lightning around his body suddenly surged, with nine layers of lightning patterns blooming with dazzling golden light on his sleeves.

The blue light arrived in an instant, transforming into an old man with a gaunt face and wearing a dark blue Taoist robe.

He stepped into the void, and with each step he landed, he stirred up layers of frost, causing the temperature of the entire world to plummet!
"Friend Li, how are you?"

Fei Zhenrong smiled sinisterly, his fingertips swirling with a chilling blue aura that seemed to freeze the air itself into fine ice crystals.

"Why aren't you in seclusion in the East China Sea? What are you doing here 'crossing the mountains'?"

Li Yunjing spoke calmly, but everyone on the deck felt an invisible pressure.

Fei Zhenrong is a Nascent Soul Ninth Heaven Grand Cultivator, an old fellow who has been famous for over a thousand years!
"I've heard that the Shenxiao Dao Sect has produced a Thunderclap Physique, so I've come to see for myself."

Fei Zhenrong's gaze passed over Li Yunjing and stared straight at Aman, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes: "It would be a pity to leave such talent in your hands."

Aman trembled all over, feeling a bone-chilling cold invade her meridians, and the lightning power in her body seemed to freeze!
"presumptuous!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, a golden lightning net instantly enveloped the entire "Sky Patrol Ship," keeping Fei Zhenrong's chill out.

"Li Yunjing, I know you have some skills, but do you think you can be my match?"

Fei Zhenrong sneered repeatedly, his gaze towards Li Yunjing revealing a hint of disdain.

He was one of the most powerful figures in the "Tianluo Dao Sect," second only to two or three others. This time, he stepped forward with the force of thunder to destroy the future of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

"My cultivation is inferior to yours, but I am not necessarily going to lose if I fight you. You should try!"

Li Yunjing's expression remained calm.

Having experienced many major battles, he can remain calm and composed even when facing a formidable opponent of this caliber.

"Try it?"

Upon hearing this, Fei Zhenrong's sneer deepened: "Very well, let me show you just how big the difference is between the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, and the dark blue cold air erupted like a tsunami, instantly condensing into thousands of ice spears. The tips of the spears gleamed with a chilling light and shot towards the "Sky Patrol Ship"!

Each ice spear was wrapped in fine ice patterns, which were "Mysterious Ice Fiends" capable of freezing the spiritual power of a Golden Core cultivator.

"rise!"

Li Yunjing took out a token and gave the order. Golden lightning surged towards the edge of the deck like a tide, condensing into a light shield on the outside of the ship.

"boom!"

The moment the light shield collided with the torrent of ice spears, a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, seemed to resound throughout the world.

The ice spear was shattered by the lightning, turning into countless ice crystals; the defensive light shield was also eroded by the cold air, dimming slightly.

"interesting."

Fei Zhenrong raised an eyebrow, and his fingertips once again condensed cold air. This time, the cold air did not disperse, but gathered into an ice sword that was a thousand feet long, with visible spatial ripples flowing on its surface.

He actually intended to use his ice sword to directly cleave through the "Sky Patrol Ship's" protective shield!

"Lin Xuan, lead your disciples into the secret chamber at the bottom!"

Li Yunjing's voice came through the lightning, carrying an undeniable authority, "Zhao Hao, Liu Yun, proceed to the bridge and protect the ship's array core!"

"Yes!"

Lin Xuan and the others did not dare to delay and immediately organized the new disciples to move to the lower deck of the ship.

Aman was pulled backward by Zhao Hao, but she kept her eyes fixed on the figure on the deck.

"Li Yunjing, can you protect me for a while, or for a lifetime?"

Fei Zhenrong's ice sword slowly descended, and with each inch it descended, the lightning net outside the "Sky Patrol Ship" dented a little more, and the array patterns on the ship's hull began to hum under the strain.

"This Thunderclap Body is destined to be destroyed by my 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect'!"

"He is a disciple of the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect,' so the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' will protect him to the end!"

Li Yunjing suddenly opened his mouth, "Lei Lai!"

With a clear shout, ten thousand bolts of thunder suddenly exploded in the heavens!

"Boom!"

The once clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and countless lightning bolts swam in the clouds, converging into a towering pillar of lightning that struck straight down!

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder?!"

Fei Zhenrong's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly withdrew his ice sword to defend himself.

The lightning bolt struck the ice sword, unleashing a blinding light, and the terrifying shockwave shattered the clouds within a hundred miles!
"Click..."

Cracks appeared on the surface of the ice sword. Fei Zhenrong groaned and took three steps back.

Taking this opportunity, Li Yunjing formed hand seals, and lightning surged around his body, weaving into a huge lightning array in the air!

"Nine Heavens Thunder Prison!"

The lightning array spun, and countless lightning chains shot out from within, coiling towards Fei Zhenrong like serpents.

"Hmph! A little trick!"

Fei Zhenrong roared, and twelve Ice Soul Pearls flew out from his sleeve, forming a large ice array in the air.

The extreme cold collided with the thunder, unleashing a deafening roar.

"Boom!"

Just then, a crimson flame suddenly attacked from the side, heading straight for the "Sky Patrol Ship," aiming to break through its defenses and kill Li Yunjing!
"Li Yunjing, you are too arrogant."

A clear voice rang out, and a young man in white robes stepped through the air, a large copper coin hanging from his waist. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and an extraordinary demeanor.

"Chu Xinghe!"

Seeing the defensive shield of the "Sky Patrol Ship" shatter, Li Yunjing's face turned ashen. "Your 'Star River Dao Sect' also wants to be enemies with my 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'?"

"Just passing by."

Chu Xinghe chuckled and turned to look at Fei Zhenrong, "Fellow Daoist Fei, do you need any help?"

Fei Zhenrong nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble."

"Haha, easy to say!"

In the midst of their exchange, Chu Xinghe let out a long laugh, pointed his sword, and the ancient bronze sword instantly split into countless forms, forming a sword array that completely surrounded the "Sky Patrol Ship".

"Haha! Interesting!"

Li Yunjing laughed. He hadn't expected that this time it would be the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and the "Xinghe Dao Sect" joining forces against him!
These two major sects really think highly of themselves!
While the battle was raging, all the new and old disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" entered the treasure ship's cabin.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" was enormous, measuring three thousand feet in length.

The nine-story ship-shaped building was bathed in layers of precious light.

To avoid the battles outside, the newly recruited disciples were exceptionally allowed to enter the eighth floor.

This layer has excellent defense!
As for Liu Yun, Zhao Hao, and their group of true disciples, they entered the cockpit on the ninth floor and quickly took over the "Sky Patrol Ship" according to their usual training.

Everyone was making final preparations to assist Li Yunjing in his attack.

"A pincer attack? That saves me the trouble of searching them one by one."

On the deck, Li Yunjing showed no concern. Instead, he laughed loudly, and the lightning around him suddenly changed. The originally violent purple lightning began to glow with a faint golden light, which complemented the Five Elements Token that flew out from his sleeve.

The token spun in the air, transforming into five rays of light representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which intertwined with lightning to form a giant net, with faint runes of law flowing through the mesh.

It was his "Five Elements Thunder Prison Formation" that he had been integrating for many years!
"Buzz!"

The moment the lightning net fell, Chu Xinghe's thousands of sword shadows suddenly froze. The spiritual light on the swords was absorbed by the earth element power in the lightning net, and they could not advance an inch.

Fei Zhenrong's ice array was also scorched by the fire and lightning, and the ice melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Cultivating the Five Elements and Thunder simultaneously?"

Chu Xinghe raised an eyebrow, and the bronze sword at his waist hummed. "Interesting, but unfortunately, your cultivation level is still a bit lacking."
