Chapter 240 Ending
The Great Luo Immortal Sect.
Li Xian's figure, transformed into a streak of light, sliced through the sea of clouds, leaving a trail over a hundred miles long, heading straight for the core of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.
The Great Luo Immortal Sect has its own set of rules for conduct.
Even if a true disciple is not directly executed, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.
Just like now, the first place Li Xian went after returning to the sect was the Xingtian Hall, which was responsible for internal investigations and punishments within the sect.
As one of the nine halls of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, the Hall Master of Xingtian Hall is personally held by Luo Baiyi, who has cultivated to the level of a Yuan Shen Loose Immortal and is known as the White-Clothed Divine Judge.
However, the adjudication, review, and handling of cases, large and small, are usually discussed by the nine deputy hall masters. Only when major matters involving sect elders or Dao children are they referred to this powerful being from the Immortal Realm for a personal decision.
But this time, before the deputy hall masters could even invite him, Hall Master Luo had already appeared in the Xingtian Hall.
"Hallmaster..."
The three deputy hall masters on duty stood up and bowed.
After waving his hand, the powerful being from the celestial realm immediately asked, "Who is investigating Shen Zangxing's case?"
"I am in charge, and the investigation has been handed over to Wei Ruhai."
The second deputy hall master, Qi Feng, who possessed the peak cultivation of the Refining God realm, immediately bowed.
"Bring the people and the case over here."
Luo Baiyi said.
Qi Feng dared not delay, and while giving the order, he quickly handed over the information about Shen Zangxing's case.
Luo Baiyi scanned the area with his divine sense, remaining expressionless: "Cancele his cultivation? Expel him from the sect? Is that Wei Ruhai's opinion?"
The hall masters exchanged glances, and it was Qi Feng, the person in charge, who finally responded, "Yes."
He then added, "That Shen Zangxing is indeed a person with the Sun Dao Body. Several families have their eyes on his bloodline and plan to keep him to produce offspring... Perhaps in a few years, he can provide some good seeds for our Great Luo Immortal Sect, which can be considered making use of waste..."
Another temple master also subtly indicated: "After all, this Shen Zangxing... although he made a mistake, he ultimately did not cause a major disaster, so his crime does not warrant death."
Luo Baiyi nodded in agreement after hearing this: "It is indeed a pity that someone with the most outstanding Sun Dao Body among the Star Dao Bodies died like this. His Excellency Xuanling personally inquired about this matter and intends to give him a chance to show himself. If he can seize the opportunity, it would be fine to let him go this time."
Upon hearing this, Qi Feng couldn't help but be somewhat surprised: "Your Majesty Xuanling actually... inquired about this as well?"
"Oh, right, call Wei Ruhai to come along too."
Luo Baiyi continued, "Give me more information on Wei Ruhai. What is Elder Wei like in his daily life?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately said, "Elder Wei is a diligent punishment elder in our Xingtian Hall. He never complains about hardship or fatigue, and he is willing to take on any matter, big or small. Moreover, he handles cases perfectly, with a 100% success rate in solving them. He has received outstanding commendation in our Xingtian Hall..."
"Oh, 100%?"
Luo Baiyi was somewhat surprised, and at the same time, she noticed the interpersonal relationships involved in Wei Ruhai's information.
Wei Ruhai was once supported by the patriarch of the Cheng family.
He was also giving back to the Cheng family by allowing Cheng Wanli, the most outstanding junior of the Cheng family in this generation, to become a disciple of a Golden Core cultivator, Yu Qi.
Cheng Wanli...
Using his authority as the Palace Master, he checked the records in the database of Xuanling Records...
They quickly came to a conclusion.
He smiled and said, "A 100% success rate in solving cases is truly remarkable. It would be a waste of talent to have someone as capable as Elder Wei just catching petty thieves within our Great Luo Immortal Sect."
Upon hearing this, Qi Feng smiled.
Just as he was about to say a few more good words about his capable assistant, he heard the Hall Master of Xingtian Palace change the subject.
"The Endless Sea Flame Furnace Fortress is also occasionally controlled by demons who lurk inside. We need someone like Elder Wei to investigate and find out! With his perfect case-solving rate, he should be able to find out all the seeds planted by the demons and clear the Flame Furnace Fortress of dirt."
Luo Baiyi said calmly.
"Flame...Flame Furnace Fortress!?"
Qi Feng suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Flame Furnace Fortress is on the front line of the Endless Sea!
Confront the demon army head-on!
Send Wei Ruhai there to search for spies!?
If they can't find the problem, it's because they lack the ability.
It's been found...
Wouldn't he be considered a prime target for elimination by the demon race? How could the demon race possibly spare him?
"This...Lord of the Palace..."
"It's settled then. Since he is a talented person of our clan, he should be entrusted with important responsibilities."
Luo Baiyi made the decision with a single word.
Qi Feng was interrupted by Luo Baiyi, and he keenly realized something. He immediately felt a chill and dared not speak rashly.
Soon, Shen Zangxing was brought over by the two elders.
Also arriving was Elder Wei Ruhai, a Golden Core cultivator who was unaware that he was about to go to the front lines.
Compared to his former high spirits as a true disciple, Shen Zangxing now looked extremely haggard.
Especially after learning that the best outcome for him would be to have his cultivation destroyed and be expelled from the sect, he felt even more hopeless about his future and had no will to live.
He had a lifeless aura about him.
"Meet the Palace Master!"
Wei Ruhai and the two elders immediately stepped forward and bowed in respect.
"Ah."
Luo Baiyi responded lightly, then turned to Shen Zangxing.
"Shen Zangxing, as a true disciple of the sect, you do not respect your fellow disciples. Instead, you secretly tipped off others and leaked the whereabouts of our sect's Daozi, causing him to be in danger. The evidence is conclusive. According to the sect rules, you should be severely punished. What else do you have to say?"
"Palace Master?"
Shen Zangxing was startled.
His matter actually alarmed the Lord of the Xingtian Palace?
As the temple master, theoretically, it's impossible for him to personally intervene just because he's a sixth-realm cultivator; it's because he feels...
Is he a potential Dao Child, or even a potential immortal who transcends tribulation? So, is it to see his attitude and give him a break?
Upon realizing this, Shen Zangxing quickly said, "This disciple has realized his mistake and is willing to repent. Please give this disciple a chance to atone for his sins."
"Our Great Luo Immortal Sect is a place that values rules and laws."
Luo Baiyi calmly said, "Letting this matter pass is not allowed, but... I designate you to have a life-or-death duel with a prodigy from my sect who has been cultivating for less than sixty years. If you win, it will prove that you are indeed talented, and I can treat you leniently. If you lose... you will die on the dueling stage. Do you agree?"
"I'm going to have a life-or-death duel with a prodigy from my sect who's been cultivating for less than sixty years!?"
Shen Zangxing was somewhat confused as to whether the sect wanted to use him as a whetstone for some prodigy, or whether they genuinely wanted to see if he had any hope of becoming an immortal.
However, he had to seize this opportunity regardless.
Although he might die in this battle, he preferred to risk his life and fight his way out of the sect rather than have his cultivation destroyed and be expelled from the sect.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Palace Master. I, Shen Zangxing, possess the Solar Dao Body and have cultivated unparalleled techniques. I will never be inferior to anyone in my life, and I will certainly not disappoint you, Palace Master."
He responded loudly.
The aura emanating from his body also reappeared, radiating vitality.
Ultimately, he was a prodigy who had only cultivated for less than sixty years. How strong could he possibly be?
"Alright, now your opponent has arrived."
Luo Baiyi glanced outside: "There's no need to go to the external dueling arena. We can settle our differences for life and death on the dueling arena inside my Xingtian Palace."
He glanced at Qi Feng and the others: "You and I are both witnesses."
"Yes."
Qi Feng, Wei Ruhai, and the other hall masters were puzzled and even speculated about which true disciple their hall master was trying to promote.
Despite their confusion, they still followed Luo Baiyi and quickly headed towards the dueling arena.
As they arrived at the dueling arena, they saw a sword light piercing through the sky from the horizon.
"What an air of importance! They even arrived later than the Palace Master."
"I want to see who it is that dares to keep the Palace Master waiting."
"That escape light... why does it look so familiar?"
The palace masters muttered to themselves.
Soon, the sword light seemed to have received permission to go directly into the Xingtian Hall, and it changed direction, quickly falling towards the dueling platform.
As his figure truly appeared on the dueling platform, the several hall masters, who had been displeased, simultaneously paused in their thoughts.
"Li...Li Daozi!?"
"Li Daozi, who killed Gu Qianfan, the number one rogue cultivator in the world, several years ago, and who has a 10-20% chance of becoming a Nascent Soul Immortal even if he were to undergo tribulation immediately!"
"The prodigy the Palace Master mentioned... could it be Li Daozi? A top expert with the power of eight marks, and a sixth-realm disciple with less than one mark? What... what... what is this?"
The temple masters felt a sense of bewilderment for a moment.
Seeing their reactions, Luo Baiyi nodded slightly.
When I received this news from Xuanling not long ago, my expression and thoughts were exactly the same as theirs.
"Lord Luo."
After landing, Li Xian nodded to Luo Baiyi.
Dao Zi's status is comparable to that of a celestial being, so there is no need for him to bow.
On the contrary, Luo Baiyi seemed more enthusiastic: "Li Daozi, I've brought the person to you."
After saying that, he turned to Shen Zangxing, whose eyes were almost frozen, and urged, "Alright, let's go up."
“Li…Mr. Li…”
Shen Zangxing stared in horror and even a dazed expression as Li Xian landed on the dueling platform.
Over the years, although he stayed within the sect, he repeatedly heard about Li Xian's remarkable achievements in his adventures outside.
In the Immortal Ascension City, he overpowered two Golden Core cultivators; at the Ascension Peak, he fought against a thousand men single-handedly and broke through to the Golden Core realm!
Several years ago, he even killed Gu Qianfan, the number one rogue cultivator in the world, which shocked the Holy Son of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, whom Gu Qianfan had tried to curry favor with, into fleeing in panic...
Every message gave him a suffocating feeling, as if the sky were falling.
He knew he would be subjected to rigorous scrutiny because of Li Xian.
They were also mentally prepared to be severely punished.
After living in fear for a year or two, he was recently interrogated personally by Palace Master Luo, who gave him a glimmer of hope, finally rekindling his fighting spirit...
result……
"Me, hit Li Xian?"
Shen Zangxing turned to Luo Baiyi blankly.
That look...
I can't even control my facial expressions anymore...
"A life-or-death duel with a prodigy who is less than sixty years old, to prove your ability! You accepted this yourself."
Luo Baiyi said, "But Li Daozi has been cultivating for less than sixty years, not even forty!"
A deep sense of powerlessness and suffocation welled up in Shen Zangxing's eyes.
even……
I also felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation!
His attitude...
This made Li Xian frown.
"Shen Zangxing, I once called you a piece of trash. Do you intend to take that title with you to the afterlife?"
He said in a deep voice, stretching out his hand: "Come, use your strongest power to unleash the final masterpiece of your life, just so that I may look at you with new respect."
"Mr. Li... I haven't caused you any real harm at all, why do you insist on killing me?"
Shen Zangxing trembled as he spoke.
"Ah……"
Li Xian shook his head, too lazy to even explain the principle that those who kill will be killed in return. He simply condensed a Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi: "If you can block this sword of mine, I won't be able to harm you in any way, will I?"
Shen Zangxing felt the sword energy's sharpness, as if it could tear his soul apart, even from a single glance. Despairingly, he turned away: "No, I won't fight anymore. Isn't my punishment to cripple my cultivation and expel me from the sect? I won't fight anymore..."
Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.
Now that we have agreed to go to the dueling arena to seek a chance of survival, how can we give up halfway?
Ok……
Although that glimmer of hope was just a tiny bit smaller.
Seeing everyone's gazes, Shen Zangxing finally realized that his life had come to an end. In a moment of despair, he turned to Li Xian and cried out, "I hate it, I hate it... If I had known this would happen, I should have killed you myself back then..."
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it."
Li Xian said calmly, and then he waved his hand.
"Go."
The next moment, the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi pierced through his head at a speed far exceeding his comprehension and imagination.
The expression on the face of the resentful cultivator with the Sun Dao Body abruptly stopped.
