A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

For a moment, everyone stared intently at the two of them.

Given their status, they were all well aware of what these techniques and mystical skills meant.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Hong Xian'er spoke slowly to everyone.

"These techniques and profound skills all originated from Qing Shi."

"She felt deeply guilty and hoped to make amends."

This statement is undoubtedly paving the way for the subsequent handling of Qing Shi.

Unsurprisingly, everyone was somewhat surprised when they heard her story.

"Such a thing actually happens?"

However, their level of trust in this technique and skill increased significantly.

After all, Qing Shi had had in-depth exchanges with the three holy lands in the past.

It's quite normal to know about the cultivation techniques, mystical skills, and supernatural abilities passed down in ancient holy lands during that era.

"Excellent, this is truly a huge success!"

"Indeed, with these cultivation techniques and profound skills, our Ancient Holy Land will surely be able to return to its peak!"

"That's right, we made a killing this time!"

"..."

Looking at the profound techniques and skills before them, everyone was greatly excited.

Most of them are extremely loyal to the ancient holy land.

Therefore, they have a special obsession with the possibility of restoring the holy land and returning to the peak.

Hong Xian'er looked at everyone and said with her eyes slightly narrowed.

"You should all be well aware of what these techniques and mystical skills mean."

"Qing Shi's offering of it shows his sincerity."

"Furthermore, considering her value in being alive, it is far greater than simply killing her."

"Therefore, I propose that we spare his life and imprison him forever in the Heavenly Prison."

Given what Qing Shi has done, it's highly unlikely that she will be released.

They didn't even dare to let her go, lest she cause trouble again.

Finally, Hong Xian'er looked at everyone and asked.

"Who agrees with this, and who disagrees?"

This decision left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the past, this might have immediately sparked an argument between the two sides.

But now, so many techniques and profound skills are laid out before me.

Humans are always driven by self-interest, and even high-level cultivators are no exception.

"this……"

Most of those present fell into deep thought.

First, those who originally wanted to let Qing Shi go quickly echoed this sentiment.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"Given her sensible nature and the debts I owe her from the past, I support suppressing her!"

"..."

Although there are still some people who harbor strong hatred towards Qing Shi, they are still somewhat reluctant to agree.

But given this prevailing trend, nothing more was said.

"Fine, as long as she doesn't go out and harm anyone else."

"That's true, let's lock him up."

"I agree as well..."

"..."

Seeing this result, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

To be honest, he didn't really ask for much.

Considering Qing Shi's past experiences, it would be enough to spare his life.

As for freedom, that's definitely not something she can be given easily...

At this moment, Hong Xian'er nodded slightly.

"Since everyone agrees, then it's settled."

With these words, the matter was considered closed.

Both Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er achieved the results they wanted.

After that, Ye Yun took the opportunity to mention Mo Ruyan's matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a follow-up to the story of Mo Ruyan. I have a few words to say..."

To be honest, this is how an inner disciple should be dealt with.

Even if we don't discuss it here, they can handle it themselves.

However, in order to make it public and avoid future troubles, they still brought it up proactively.

The result was pretty much what Ye Yun had expected.

Considering that Mo Ruyan was bewitched and even controlled, and repeatedly made contributions and even provided decisive assistance.

The final decision was that he would not be punished, but would need to remain in the holy site for observation...

……

After the meeting ended, Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er went to the prison.

Inside the prison, Qing Shi sat cross-legged on the ground in a spirit form.

Seeing the two of them come over again, she asked calmly.

"Have you come here to punish me?"

Although she didn't get to see it, she could basically guess that the Ancient Holy Land was discussing how to deal with her.

Ye Yun readily admitted this and nodded.

"You're quite clever, senior. That's right, the verdict regarding your trial is in."

Qing Shi snorted lightly, not caring at all.

"Tell me, when do you plan to execute me?"

In her view, everything she had done was utterly heinous against the three holy lands and even the entire continent.

Furthermore, given her understanding of the Ancient Holy Land's modus operandi, she would certainly take this opportunity to eliminate them completely.

Seeing this, Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er exchanged a glance.

Ye Yun smiled and said.

"Xian'er, you announce it."

Hong Xian'er nodded slightly and looked up at Qing Shi in front of her.

"Qing Shi, in the name of the Ancient Dao Saint Lord, I hereby take action against you for colluding with the Ascension Sect and wreaking havoc in the Eastern Continent and even the entire continent!"

"Given that your actions stemmed from a betrayal of the original holy land, we have decided to grant you leniency and spare you the death penalty."

"From this day forward, you will be imprisoned in this heavenly dungeon and will never be free."

For ordinary people, it's hard to say whether imprisonment until death or outright killing is a heavier punishment.

But for Qing Shi, this was undoubtedly an opportunity, a chance to be reborn.

This result left Qing Shi in disbelief.

A hint of surprise appeared on her previously indifferent face as she looked at the two people in front of her and asked.

"You...aren't you going to kill me?"

This decision was truly unexpected.

At this moment, Hong Xian'er gave her a soft hum.

"Given the crimes you've committed, killing you outright would be too lenient."

"You should stay here and reflect on everything you've done in the past."

Ye Yun, who was standing to the side, also laughed and joked.

"Senior Qing Shi, it seems you're going to be suppressed for a long time again this time."

"..."

Qing Shi remained silent for a long time before finally asking a question.

Why?

Hong Xian'er asked casually.

"You mean, I'll spare your life?"

Qing Shi nodded and said coldly.

"Can you be at ease if you don't kill me?"

This was actually somewhat different from her usual understanding of the ancient holy land.

"Well..."

Hong Xian'er looked at her, already displaying some of the demeanor of a Holy Lord, and said something in a calm and unhurried manner.

"Because our ancient sacred site is also changing; it is no longer the sanctimonious sacred site you perceive it to be."

"We will not forgive the sins you have committed."

"But we will certainly make amends for the sins you have committed."

Ye Yun, standing to the side, felt a sense of relief watching her speak like this.

Unbeknownst to him, Xian'er was increasingly displaying the aura of the Holy Lord, truly worthy of being his wife.

"..."

Hong Xian'er's words left Qing Shi speechless for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Hong Xian'er said calmly.

"Alright, continue reflecting on your actions."

She glanced at Ye Yun.

"let's go."

"Okay."

Having achieved his goal, Ye Yun couldn't help but grin.

He stepped forward, took Hong Xian'er's hand, put his arm around her slender waist, and turned to leave with her.

Just then, Qing Shi suddenly spoke up.

"Wait a moment."

Ye Yun turned his head, looked at her, and asked with a smile.

"Senior, is there anything else?"

Qing Shi, in the prison cell, hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering something.

Finally, she slowly spoke.

"Could I... perhaps speak with Sister Mo for a moment?"

Despite the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, she never changed her way of addressing Mo Ruyan.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er were taken aback.

"This one?"

Ye Yun nodded, then glanced ahead.

"You two can talk."

After saying that, Ye Yun and the other person left directly.

Shortly after, another beautiful figure entered; it was Mo Ruyan, whom Qing Shi wanted to see.

As she passed Ye Yun and his companion, she respectfully bowed.

"Elder Ye, Your Majesty."

Ye Yun nodded to him and smiled faintly.

"You two continue your conversation; Xian'er and I won't disturb you any longer."

As they spoke, he and Hong Xian'er left the prison together.

In any case, given the strength of this prison's defenses, even if Mo Ruyan wanted to do something, it would be completely impossible for her.

Furthermore, given the current outcome, I believe they won't do anything foolish.

After Ye Yun and the other person left, Mo Ruyan walked to the front of the prison cell.

These days, she has been reflecting on herself and what Qing Shi has done.

Looking at Qing Shi, her expression was complex.

"Little Poem..."

The same was true of Qing Shi in front of him; they exchanged a deep look.

Qing Shi remained silent for a long time before finally asking a question.

"Tell me, did I really do something wrong?"

……

Outside the prison, Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er walked and talked.

Hong Xian'er looked thoughtful, glanced at the prison behind her, then at Ye Yun beside her, and asked.

"Do you really think this will change Qing Shi?"

In fact, they chose to give Qing Shi a way out.

Part of the reason was that I felt she still had a chance to turn to good.

And given her status and abilities, she may be able to do many things that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

But all of this is predicated on Qing Shi wanting to make a change.

"Definitely."

Ye Yun nodded, revealing a warm, spring-like smile.

"Despite past grievances, we are destined never to return to our initial friendship with her."

"But at least it can make her less extreme, less prone to wanting to destroy the continent at the drop of a hat..."

Hong Xian'er looked thoughtful in response to Ye Yun's affirmation.

"I hope so..."

The verdicts regarding Qing Shi and Mo Ruyan have now been finalized.

Mo Ruyan quickly returned to normal life in the holy land.

The only change was that the Jade Maiden Peak, to which it originally belonged, became an inner disciple of the Creation Peak.

Wu Ling, who was transformed from Wu Xian, was also given a suitable job by Ye Yun.

That is to integrate and record the treasures, cultivation methods, profound techniques, and various ancient books that were divided from the Nine Netherworld Holy Land.

Compared to the people of the ancient holy land, she, the daughter of the former Holy Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, undoubtedly had a better understanding of these things.

……

In the days that followed.

Throughout the continent, all factions were celebrating wildly.

This also included the ancient sacred site, where several grand celebration banquets were held, along with awards ceremonies to reward those who had made contributions.

With the elimination of the Ascension Sect and the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, the entire continent returned to a period of relative peace.

At least within the Eastern Continent, the number of heretical cultivators has dropped several levels.

It is evident that before this, the Nine Netherworld Holy Land had caused quite a bit of trouble in the Eastern Continent.

The only unresolved issue is probably those rampaging, blood-red monsters.

However, thanks to the Night's Watch's high-intensity and continuous sweeping, the number of disturbances was extremely small.

Meanwhile, in the territory of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, the new headquarters of the Night Watchers organization is under construction in full swing.

It can be said that everything is moving in a better direction.

Ye Yun wasn't idle either. After resolving Qing Shi's matter, he officially entered a state of seclusion.

After this great battle in the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, he found that his mastery of the power of the Great Dao had significantly improved.

So I decided to take this opportunity to directly challenge the bottleneck...
