Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1320 566: Capture Alive
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
"This person has committed numerous evil deeds and must be brought back for interrogation by the Supreme Elders!"
Li Yunjing looked at Liu Yu and the others and said this.
"Indeed! This person harbors significant secrets and must undergo Soul Search!"
Liu Yu only then understood Li Yunjing's deeper meaning and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The other nine elders also chimed in agreement.
This time, having accompanied Li Yunjing on the mission, they truly witnessed Li Yunjing's formidable strength.
He was practically an invincible existence.
Even if they teamed up, the ten of them probably wouldn't be able to last long against Li Yunjing.
Now, Liu Yu and the others were nearly obedient to Li Yunjing's words.
They were thoroughly convinced.
Even if tomorrow, the Sect Leader Venerable proposed Li Yunjing as the new Sect Leader, they would wholeheartedly accept, with no discontent.
The "Celestial Patrol Ship" glided over the sea, leaving a radiant trail behind it.
Li Yunjing sat cross-legged at the center of the deck, surrounded by a faint golden halo, the "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror" hanging above his head, slowly repairing the battle damages with its flowing Life Power.
Liu Yu led the ten elders, responsible for controlling the "Celestial Patrol Ship," keeping watch over the Judge, and vigilantly gazing at the surrounding sea region to prevent the remaining forces of the "Ghost Fiend Hall" from returning.
The Judge, tied up like a dumpling, curled up in the corner, with the residual power of the Thunderbolt still rampaging inside him, causing him to occasionally twitch.
Nevertheless, his eyes remained vengeful, staring daggers at Li Yunjing as if to cut him into pieces with his gaze.
Li Yunjing appeared indifferent, occasionally raising his hand to strike a bolt of thunder light on the Judge to ensure his escape was impossible.
Along the journey, the sea surface was eerily calm, as if the sea breeze held its breath.
Li Yunjing dared not relax even slightly in his heart; "Ghost Fiend Hall," "Demon Control Sect" suffered enormous losses and would not give up easily.
He wouldn't give these two powers a chance to counterattack.
Three days later, the outline of "Shenxiao Island" finally appeared in view.
The worries throughout the journey could finally be set aside.
On the island, mist swirled, celestial music faintly audible, the Island Protection Array radiating a rainbow glow, like an ethereal realm.
Seeing their own people returning, the patrolling disciples on the island immediately stepped forward to guide the "Celestial Patrol Ship" to fly in a specific direction.
In such a special period, even their own people couldn't fly recklessly and had to adhere to wartime management.
Entering the "Shenxiao Temple" square, the "Celestial Patrol Ship" began to slowly descend under the guidance of fellow disciples, who were already informed and lined up to welcome it.
Li Yunjing brought the Judge off the Treasure Ship, and immediately several elders stepped forward to escort the Judge to the "Council Hall."
Inside the Council Hall, nine Supreme Elders sat on cloud-patterned thrones, surrounded by celestial air, overwhelming like a mountain.
Li Yunjing detailed the conflict with the "Ghost Fiend Hall," "Demon Control Sect," the appearance of the Netherworld fissure, and the process of capturing the Judge.
Upon hearing this, the elders' expressions were all solemn.
"Li Yunjing, you've accomplished great deeds this time!"
The Five Elements Master nodded continuously, displaying an appreciative expression.
"The 'Ghost Fiend Hall,' 'Demon Control Sect' dared to create such a disturbance in the East Sea, seemingly declaring war against our 'Shenxiao Dao Sect.'"
Supreme Elder Lei Ze's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, "Li Yunjing, you performed exceptionally well this time and deserve a significant reward. As for the accomplishments, we'll remember them."
It's not that Supreme Elder Lei Ze was unwilling to reward Li Yunjing; the truth was that this young man was already a high-ranking member of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," beyond the reach of typical rewards.
Advancing further would mean becoming Sect Leader Venerable!
Should they make Ming Lingchuan step down from his well-done position?
As for treasures, from the introduction, the Supreme Elders were well aware of Li Yunjing's collection of treasures; how could they reward him?
Certainly, they couldn't give him their most prized possessions!
"This is simply my duty!"
Li Yunjing cupped his fist, bowing, "I will spare no effort to protect the Sect!"
He didn't mind the matter of rewards.
Having them was better, not having them was no issue.
Nine Netherworld Supreme Elder pondered for a moment, then gestured to conjure a light shadow, whereupon a 3D sand table of the East Sea Region appeared, marked with red dots which represented "Ghost Fiend Hall," "Demon Control Sect" bases, scattered like poisonous sores.
"Initially, we were reluctant to provoke the Demon Dao with this East Sea battle, but they attacked us voluntarily, which is a declaration of war!"
Spoke the terrifying elder woman with a sinister tone, "We must formulate a strategy to counterattack before they consolidate their power."
"Supreme Elder, I've got a plan!"
Wu Cheng stepped forward, showing a fierce expression, "Why not strike first, while the Judge is captured, and 'Ghost Fiend Hall' is leaderless? Gather the Sect's elite forces and directly hit their heart!"
As he spoke, the chamber responded with voices of opposition.
"No way!"
Peak Master Alchemy Tripod tapped his jade cup, making the tea ripple, "Even though the 'Shenxiao Island' Island Protection Array is strong, if the elite forces are all dispatched, the 'Celestial Net Dao Sect' might seize the opportunity to attack. Furthermore, the Netherworld Sea's environment is treacherous; rushing in could lead to ambush."
This statement caused a stir in the Council Hall, with everyone holding their own opinions.
"I have a plan."
Seeing the atmosphere become increasingly tense, Li Yunjing stepped forward and saluted, "The 'Ghost Fiend Hall' and 'Demon Control Sect' are leveraging the Netherworld fissure and the Secret Treasure 'Soul-Harvesting Pearl'."
"We can split our forces!"
One part to safeguard 'Shenxiao Island,' another part feigning an attack on 'Ghost Fiend Hall,' 'Demon Control Sect' bases, luring them out!"
"I will secretly infiltrate the Netherworld Sea, search for the source of the fissure and destroy the 'Soul-Harvesting Pearl.'
"This way, we'll cut off the trump card of the two Demon Sects, and surely they won't dare provoke us again!"
When Li Yunjing articulated his plan, the Council Hall fell silent as everyone considered the feasibility of this approach.
