Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1251 - 543: Comprehensive Rectification

The "Thunder Dragon Token" hovered above the warship, and each flick of its tail brought forth streaks of electric light, illuminating the nine eternal lanterns even more brilliantly.

Li Yunjing could not descend until these people were prepared to welcome him.

The dignity of the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s Vice Sect Leader had to be maintained.

Elder Wu Cheng was the first to land on the square, with beads of sweat still clinging to his forehead.

"Elder Wu Cheng, guardian of Shenxiao Island, respectfully welcomes Vice Sect Leader Li’s arrival!"

Gazing up at the Celestial Patrol Ship floating in the sky, his throat was dry as he called out tremulously.

No sooner had he spoken than hundreds of disciples behind him knelt in unison, the surge of their voices causing the emerald tiles of the square to tremble slightly.

"Wow..."

The actions of the Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples also alerted the merchants on Shenxiao Island, its temporary residents, and passing travelers, all of whom gazed dumbfoundedly at the enormous warship in the sky.

Many people did not know what kind of authority the Vice Sect Leader of Shenxiao Dao Sect held.

Yet this did not hinder their sense of awe.

In any power structure, the Vice Sect Leader was a senior figure, and along with the attention from Elder Wu Cheng and such a giant ship, all cultivators from different factions understood that a prominent personage had arrived.

"Everyone, rise!"

At the moment the ship’s doors opened, golden light poured out.

On a path paved with golden light, Li Yunjing walked steadily, with faint Dao Patterns appearing underfoot with each step as he descended into the square.

"Elder Wu, it’s been a long time."

Standing on the square, under the scrutiny of thousands of cultivators, Li Yunjing raised a hand in a gesture of support, using his abundant spiritual power to lift the others. His gaze swept over the various expressions of the cultivators in the crowd.

"Vice Sect Leader Li, it’s been years since we’ve last met, and it appears your cultivation has truly advanced."

Facing this familiar person, Wu Cheng felt a mix of emotions, reminiscing about the past when Li Yunjing was just one of his subordinates!

Once the Vice Manager of the market on Shenxiao Island!

No one could have imagined that upon meeting again, their respective statuses would have completely transformed.

"Ha ha! Elder Wu Cheng, no need for formality, we’re old acquaintances."

Collecting his aura and retrieving his Identity Token, Li Yunjing smiled and said, "I’m here not on official business but to pick up some friends to return to the Sect for my wedding."

"So you have come for a joyous occasion!"

Elder Wu Cheng’s tense expression eased slightly as he quickly led Li Yunjing to the Island Master’s mansion, "For Vice Sect Leader Li’s grand wedding, I must prepare a valuable gift. However..."

He glanced back at the Celestial Patrol Ship and lowered his voice, "Shenxiao Island has been unsettled recently, with undercurrents in the East Sea and demon beasts frequently appearing in nearby sea areas. Was your journey safe?"

"Encountered some sea pirates and demon beasts, but with the Celestial Patrol Ship, they were mere clowns."

Just as Li Yunjing finished speaking, a muffled boom resonated from the distant sea, startling a flock of seabirds, suggesting some magical combat among cultivators.

"It seems the situation in the East Sea is worse than I imagined."

Li Yunjing furrowed his brow, spreading his Divine Sense like a tidal wave, "Elder Wu, could there really be someone bold enough to stir trouble on our Shenxiao Dao Sect’s territory?"

Wu Cheng led the guests to the living room of the Island Master’s mansion, where Li Yunjing sat in the chief seat, and a maid served spirit tea.

"To be frank, three months ago, the Celestial Net Dao Sect invaded nearby sea regions with quite a strong stance, causing unrest among the people of the East Sea."

He rubbed his teacup, his expression grim, "More puzzling is that sea beasts, rarely seen, have recently been frequently attacking merchant ships."

He pulled a sea chart from his sleeve, "This was brought back by surviving cultivators; the marked sea areas have been particularly tumultuous lately!"

"As for here, although there have been some skirmishes, they are under control, and no one dares truly attack us!"

Finally, Wu Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Additionally, the Island Protection Array has been activated, consuming a large number of Spirit Stones, but it has successfully deterred the various factions from stirring trouble, which is beneficial overall."

"The Cloud Sea Golden Lamp Array arranged by Senior Fu Lingfeng was meant for the defense of Shenxiao Island. Your actions are without fault!"

Li Yunjing tapped his fingertips on the table, producing a "da-da-da" sound, and looked up at Wu Cheng, "Is the island’s defense array still stable?"

"To be honest, Vice Sect Leader, although the island has the array’s protection, resource consumption has been substantial in recent years, straining the island’s spiritual power supply, and the Golden Lamp Array’s power is not what it used to be."

Wu Cheng shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Elder Wu, I ask you to keep a close watch on the East Sea’s developments."

Li Yunjing smiled, his aura bursting forth, "Once I return my friends to the Sect and complete the wedding, I’ll arrange for skilled reinforcements!"

Li Yunjing had already had two encounters with the Celestial Net Dao Sect, and it could be said that there was a deep-seated hatred between them, with most of their prime forces being slaughtered by Li Yunjing.

The Celestial Net Dao Sect’s aggression might also largely be aimed at Shenxiao Dao Sect.

The secrets hidden over the years, the Celestial Net Dao Sect may not be ignorant of the truth.

"Back then on Shenxiao Island, I was just a minor Vice Manager of the market, and now I wish to see who dares to cause chaos on Shenxiao Dao Sect’s territory!"

Li Yunjing added with a laugh.

He naturally would not tell Elder Wu Cheng that everything stemmed from him.

"Vice Sect Leader Li’s arrival is a great event for the Sect; Shenxiao Island must host a grand banquet for three days and nights!"

Elder Wu Cheng rubbed his hands with a beaming smile, "Recently, the island caught a millennium-old Profound Ice Fish, and there’s a century-old spirit wine in our collection, both for Vice Sect Leader Li’s enjoyment."
