Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1247 - 542: Severe Reprimand

At this moment, within the mine, Li Yunjing found himself less challenged than the outside world imagined. Those Golden Core Realm demon cultivators were bleeding from their seven orifices just after a few moves from Li Yunjing and fell to the ground, unable to rise.

The projection of the evil deity, subjected to Li Yunjing’s aggressive assault, began to crack, emitting roars full of unwillingness.

Taking advantage of the evil deity projection’s flaws, Li Yunjing launched another attack, sending dozens of sword qi shooting at the evil deity like a storm.

"Kid! I’ve remembered your aura!"

With a loud crash, the evil deity projection completely shattered into countless black fragments that dispersed in the air.

"Damn it! Our hard work!"

The leader of the black-robed men looked on in despair as his eyes filled with madness were gradually replaced by fear.

"Your conspiracy ends here!"

Li Yunjing approached the black-robed men step by step, exuding a murderous aura.

"Tell me! Who are you exactly!"

The black-robed man wanted to flee but realized his spiritual power was exhausted, leaving him incapable of moving. In desperation, he asked Li Yunjing his final question.

"Shenxiao Dao Sect, Li Yunjing!"

With a flick of his sword, Li Yunjing ended the black-robed man’s life in his despair.

The remaining wounded black-robed men were also dispatched by Li Yunjing one by one. Even those unable to move were dealt with by orders given to Liu Ruyan to act personally.

His woman must see blood!

Seeing Liu Ruyan kill a few black-clad men, Li Yunjing nodded, carefully inspected the altar to ensure no danger was left, and finally sighed with relief.

"Let’s go. Once we return, we must properly reorganize the ’City of Glory’."

Li Yunjing held Liu Ruyan’s hand, his eyes betraying a hint of frustration, "What nonsense, dozens of Golden Core demon cultivators entered near the ’City of Glory’ and were offering sacrifices to an evil deity, and they didn’t even know about it. What on earth is everyone doing!"

At this moment, Xuán Qīngzi and a group of about twenty appeared after clearing away all the skeletal remains. Upon hearing Li Yunjing’s criticisms, their faces turned crimson with embarrassment.

"Greetings, Vice Sect Leader Li!"

Xuán Qīngzi and his group, with no choice, braced themselves to greet Li Yunjing.

"Hmph! We will discuss this once we return!"

Without a glance at the others, Li Yunjing flicked his sleeve, holding Liu Ruyan’s delicate hand, and flew out of the mine first.

Returning to the City Lord’s Mansion in the "City of Glory," the atmosphere in the council hall was as heavy as lead.

Li Yunjing sat at the main seat, the aura of his Golden Core Realm unconsciously emanating and suppressing the flickering candlelight in the hall.

Xuán Qīngzi and more than twenty others stood with their heads bowed, cold sweat trickling down their foreheads and into their collars.

As for Deputy City Lord Wang Tianhua and the new City Lord Celestial Martial Master, they sat on the side with sullen expressions, saying nothing.

As soon as Li Yunjing arrived, he sent Liu Ruyan to rest in the side hall and immediately exploded in fury, not giving any face!

Even the Nascent Soul Realm master Celestial Martial Master was reprimanded a few times!

Although his words towards Celestial Martial Master weren’t heavy, it was still embarrassing for this Master when a Golden Core Realm faults a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

Only now, Li Yunjing is the Vice Sect Leader of Shenxiao Dao Sect.

Holding power, representing the Shenxiao Dao Sect, even though he’s an envoy, he dares not disobey orders.

After all, he is not the former City Lord of the "City of Glory," "Celestial Dome Master!"

"Celestial Dome Master" is a genuinely powerful figure of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, a top expert within the Nascent Soul Realm, and Commander-in-Chief of the First Gate in the North!

In terms of status, even Li Yunjing’s teacher Qin Jiuxiao would have to be respectful when meeting "Celestial Dome Master."

But Celestial Martial Master is different.

His qualifications are somewhat lacking, not considered a leading figure within the Nascent Soul Realm.

It was due to the diminished importance of the "City of Glory" that Celestial Martial Master was appointed City Lord, otherwise, with his qualifications and cultivation, he would not have qualified for the position.

In the past, when the "City of Glory" faced crises, Celestial Martial Master was, at most, a Deputy City Lord.

Li Yunjing naturally knew his name and background.

Li Yunjing had no concerns about this person.

However, respect for Nascent Soul Realm cultivators is still required. Li Yunjing only said a few words without delving deeper or harshly scolding!

Due to the strength disparity, Li Yunjing couldn’t genuinely treat the opponent as a subordinate to reprimand!

Regarding the Deputy City Lord Wang Tianhua?

He is an old hand!

He’s been serving as Deputy City Lord in the "City of Glory," overseeing the major affairs.

Back then, it was Wang Tianhua who arranged the charges when Li Yunjing was first captured and brought into the "Divine Prison"!

Li Yunjing had no malice towards this person and even held a fair amount of respect.

Besides, regarding cultivation and qualifications, this Deputy City Lord has excellent potential, so Li Yunjing naturally wouldn’t want to make a mortal enemy of Wang Tianhua over this matter.

Moreover, from Wang Tianhua’s words and hints, he has already yielded, admitting his fault.

Celesial Martial Master and Wang Tianhua were hard to punish, so others naturally had to take responsibility!

"Elder Xuán Qīng, do you plead guilty?"

Li Yunjing suddenly spoke, his voice cold as ice.

He lightly tapped his fingers on the table, dropping a dark purple wooden fragment on the ground, the remnant of the demon array in the mine, "Such a large-scale evil cultivator’s festival, as the city’s inspection Elder, you failed to give any warning. Neither did the city’s stationed forces detect anything. Do you treat this ’City of Glory’ as a joke?"

"Vice Sect Leader, forgive me!"
