Chapter 43 – Are you satisfied?
"Help! Help! Someone help quickly!"
"Wait, this game didn't say anything about a plot kill for the female lead!"
Outside the 'game', Chen Huaian was dumbfounded as he watched Li Qingran turn into a bloodied figure in an instant.
For a moment, he wondered if he hadn't topped up enough!
He frantically tapped the screen, causing the already cracked phone screen to spread even further.
Sweat rolled down his cheeks, and at this moment, Chen Huaian desperately hoped for a top-up button to pop up from the system.
The entire Azure Cloud Sect was in shock, and among the crowd, a disciple turned pale with disbelief.
He never imagined Li Qingran would use a grand oath as a means to prove herself.
That was the agony of a thousand swords piercing the heart!
A slight mistake could become a lifelong shadow on the path of cultivation, making it difficult to advance further!
On Chen Huaian's side, the system's prompt finally appeared just before the screen was completely ruined.
[Would you like to top up ¥18.8 to purchase an Immortal Grade Jadeite Creation Pill to heal Li Qingran? (Limited time offer~♥)]
"Buy!"
Without a second thought, Chen Huaian closed his eyes and topped up, not even noticing how reasonable the amount was this time.
In the Azure Cloud Realm, on the plaza before the Azure Cloud Sect's hall.
Li Qingran, who was nearly fainting from pain, was suddenly supported by an invisible force.
Then, everyone saw a brocade box float out from the void behind Li Qingran.
The box opened, revealing a jadeite-colored pill inside. Instantly, the fragrance of the medicine filled the air. Disciples nearby felt their spiritual energy circulate faster, and even their unhealed wounds began to itch. Those further away felt invigorated and refreshed.
Before anyone could savor the intoxicating aroma,
The pill had already flown to Li Qingran's lips, transforming into a green light that entered her body with her breath, spreading throughout her body in the blink of an eye.
"Jadeite Creation Pill! It must be the Jadeite Creation Pill!"
Sect Master Wu Duantian was the first to react.
Recently, he had tried all sorts of precious pills to restore Zhao Lingtian's dantian, including the Jadeite Creation Pill, known for snatching people from the brink of death. However, the pill he gave Zhao Lingtian lacked such a potent fragrance. Moreover, the pill just now was crystal clear and flawless, like jadeite. The answer was obvious.
"It's an Immortal Grade Jadeite Creation Pill!" Wu Duantian was utterly shocked.
"Master, is this pill really that powerful?"
Wu Duantian glanced at Zhao Lingtian and said irritably, "The Jadeite Creation Pill is at least a fifth-grade pill. This one has reached Immortal Grade. What grade do you think it should be?"
Zhao Lingtian's eyes widened. A common Jadeite Creation Pill was a fifth-grade pill, so an Immortal Grade one should be at least fourth or third grade, right...
And such a precious pill was used just to relieve Li Qingran's pain?
She was just in pain, not dying!
At this moment, Zhao Lingtian felt his heart bleeding.
The elders from various peaks watched enviously as Li Qingran's body was enveloped in jadeite-like green light, feeling a mix of emotions.
This pill would only be used in life-and-death crises for them, not wasted like this.
Among the crowd, Outer Sect Elder Wang Chuanhe was drenched in sweat.
He sensed impending doom, knowing it was only a matter of time before he was exposed.
Who would have thought Li Qingran would be so reckless? Breaking a grand oath of a thousand swords piercing the heart so easily?
With Wu Duantian's temper, he would surely lose his elder position and face severe punishment. The most crucial question was whether the mysterious cultivator behind Li Qingran would spare him. Would Wu Duantian sacrifice him to appease that cultivator?
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
Wang Chuanhe's gaze towards Li Qingran grew increasingly sinister.
"Right now, everyone's attention is on that disciple, and the mysterious cultivator must be concerned about her safety. It's the perfect time to act. So..."
No turning back.
Wang Chuanhe pulled out a flying sword and tossed it forward.@@novelbin@@
Then he leaped, landing on the flying sword.
The mountains remain, the rivers flow.
Off you go!
However, before he could fly far,
A dozen golden talismans caught up with him at an even faster speed.
Boom——!
Under a clear sky, thunder rumbled.
Wang Chuanhe couldn't dodge in time and was struck directly, falling down with black smoke rising from him.
In front of his phone, Chen Huaian, with a grim expression, put the unused Thunderfire Talismans back into his backpack, blowing on his numb fingers, hiding his achievements and fame.
Wang Chuanhe, as an Outer Sect Elder, only had a cultivation level of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
The Thunderfire Talismans might not have been enough to kill him outright, but after a dozen strikes, he was charred inside and out, struggling to even stand.
Wu Duantian was also startled by this and quickly ordered Wang Chuanhe to be restrained.
He felt an additional layer of apprehension towards the mysterious cultivator.
Throwing Thunderfire Talismans in batches, with several Superior Grade ones among them, indicated that the person had abundant resources. Could it be an old monster from another sect? Such old monsters with sect backing were the hardest to deal with. Rogue cultivators, on the other hand, were easier to handle.
"Master, Sect Master, this disciple is guilty."
Yun Zimo, seeing Wang Chuanhe being subdued, knew he couldn't hide the truth any longer. He voluntarily knelt before Wu Duantian and Daoist Qingxuan, kowtowing and admitting his guilt: "But I acted out of anger because Li Qingran harmed Sixth Junior Sister, so I acted impulsively and resorted to this. Regardless, I violated the sect rules, and I'm willing to accept punishment!"
"You scoundrel!" Daoist Qingxuan was trembling with anger, his face flushed.
This was a huge disgrace, and his Crimson Sky Peak would become the laughingstock of the Azure Cloud Sect!
When the Ancestor emerged, he might even view him unfavorably because of these trivial matters.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but with a pair of eyes watching him closely, he dared not act rashly.
Daoist Qingxuan swore he had never felt so aggrieved in his life.
"Well, without Wang Chuanhe's involvement, you wouldn't have succeeded. He's the core of the problem." Wu Duantian stroked his beard, squinting.
Yun Zimo was overjoyed at these words.
Since the Sect Master said so, the main punishment would fall on Wang Chuanhe, and his punishment would be lighter!
Then Wu Duantian loudly ordered, "Outer Sect Elder Wang Chuanhe, for framing and slandering fellow disciples, the nature of the crime is extremely vile!
As an elder, he lacked virtue and morality, and as a manager, he was unruly. He is hereby stripped of his elder status, his eyes gouged, tongue cut, ears filled with molten iron, and sent to Reflection Cliff for half a year of repentance. Crimson Sky Peak's direct disciple Yun Zimo will also have his eyes gouged, tongue cut, ears filled with molten iron, and sent to Reflection Cliff for three months of repentance. Considering his willingness to admit his mistakes, he will receive two extra vegetable leaves with each meal.
As for the other disciples implicated in this matter, they will all be sent to Reflection Cliff for meditation!"
Yun Zimo's face changed drastically upon hearing this.
After all that, wasn't it still the same punishment?
And the time for repentance at Reflection Cliff was even extended!
"Sect Master, please, no, that would cripple me... Master? Master! Please plead for me?"
Yun Zimo crawled to Daoist Qingxuan's feet, only to be kicked away, rolling to the edge of the plaza, unconscious by the time he stopped.
"Master, Third Junior Brother has already realized his mistake..."
Lu Changtian hadn't expected that Li Qingran's expulsion from the Azure Cloud Sect was a setup, but seeing Yun Zimo's miserable state, he couldn't help but feel compassion.
Mu Baishuang also approached, softly pleading, "Yes, Master, Third Senior Brother just lost his head for a moment."
However, the usual tactic of acting cute, which worked on all the senior brothers, failed on Daoist Qingxuan.
"Shut up!"
Daoist Qingxuan's icy gaze cut into Lu Changtian and the others like a knife.
"Say one more word, and you'll join them at Reflection Cliff for meditation!"
Lu Changtian turned pale and could only close his mouth.
Xiao Yifeng, who was about to plead, froze and quickly swallowed his words.
A shadow flickered in Mu Baishuang's eyes.
Things and people were gradually slipping out of her control.
...
Wu Duantian glanced at the people from Crimson Sky Peak, a barely noticeable smile tugging at his lips.
His gaze then shifted to Li Qingran, who had regained consciousness, and he spoke gently:
"Qingran, are you satisfied with this Sect Master's decision?"
...
...
What do you think?
