Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 184: 138 Disappointment (Extra 2)_2

Chapter 184: Chapter 138 Disappointment (Extra 2)_2

Peak Master Zhao’s sword strike was blocked by the Sect Formation, and Yun Ze, who had closed his eyes awaiting death, did not die.

Li Shiming inwardly sighed at the complexity within the Heavenly Sea Sect.@@@@

The Peak Master of Gen Peak, such a high-ranking sect official, was still siding with the Yun Family even with clear evidence, leaving him feeling utterly disillusioned.

Truthfully, ever since he had joined the sect, although the nurturing he received was limited, he had held great recognition for the sect, considering himself a proud member of the Heavenly Sea Sect.

However, today’s scene greatly diminished his recognition of the sect.

“Junior Master Xu, this is Yun Ze’s storage bag, and this is my own ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View,’ inside which there is evidence of the Yun Family colluding with the Holy Ice Sect to harm fellow disciples. I hope the Heavenly Sea Sect can handle this justly!” Li Shiming said as he handed over the storage bag he had previously taken off his waist along with the ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’ to Steward Xu.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators present could hear the disappointment in Li Shiming’s words, the reason for a cultivator’s disappointment naturally being disillusionment with the sect.

“Junior Master Zhuge, thank you for your protection. I will return to Eagle Beak Island immediately and await the sect’s investigation!” Li Shiming bowed deeply to Junior Master Zhuge.

After speaking, he did not linger or glance at any of the cultivators present, sprouting wings from his back and soaring into the sky.

“Peak Master Zhao, from now on, for all formations apart from the main one at Gen Peak, do not involve Dui Peak anymore!” Junior Master Zhuge said coldly as his figure lifted off and vanished from the cultivators’ sight.

Peak Master Zhao felt extremely surprised by Junior Master Zhuge’s attitude.

Before this, he had forcefully suppressed his anger toward Li Shiming’s attitude, wondering when a mid-stage Qi Refining disciple had the audacity to act superior in front of him.

But the subsequent attitude of Junior Master Zhuge indicated the importance Dui Peak placed on Li Shiming.

“Peak Master Zhao, would you like to strike again and kill us all to suppress this matter?” Steward Xu then coldly asked.

He was holding Yun Ze, fire also burning in his eyes.

This trip to Gen Peak to handle the case had started with Yun Gang attempting to kill Li Shiming right in front of him, followed by Peak Master Zhao attempting to kill Yun Ze, completely disregarding the Law Enforcement Hall.

Peak Master Zhao was silent, not expecting such a significant reaction from Dui Peak and the Law Enforcement Hall to his earlier actions.

“Peak Master Zhao, Gen Peak truly is not a good place; we dare not stay long, and I also dare not take Yun Gang without an elder’s presence. I will report everything truthfully to the Sect Leader!” After speaking, Steward Xu did not wait for Peak Master Zhao’s response, turned around with Yun Ze, and took his people and the evidence, leaving the place.

When Li Shiming returned to Eagle Beak Island, he received a message on his Identity Jade Disc.

Seeing who sent the message eased some of his anguish and dissatisfaction.

“Are you all right?” the message from Yin Shilan was one of concern.

By this time, a month had passed since the attack on Li Shiming, and he once again arrived at Yu Sect Leader’s vast room.

“Li Shiming, have a seat!” Yu Sect Leader, without any delay, gestured for him to sit down as soon as he entered.

Li Shiming bowed and performed the cultivator’s salute to Yu Sect Leader, then sat down next to him.

“I have called you here to discuss the Yun Family’s compensation to you,” Yu Sect Leader said, moving from behind the vast desk to sit opposite Li Shiming.

While he was aware of the relationship between Li Shiming and Yin Shilan, he was unclear about Elder Yin’s stance, and moreover, Elder Yin was currently in seclusion and absolutely unable to intervene in this matter.

Yu Sect Leader, in terms of power, might rank slightly higher than Gen Peak’s Peak Master Zhao, but Peak Master Zhao was cultivated by all the Elders. Although the Elders hadn’t intervened, it was extremely difficult for Yu Sect Leader to impose severe penalties on Gen Peak’s cultivators on this side.

He could at most obtain more compensation from the Yun Family for Li Shiming, hoping to thereby secure Li Shiming’s loyalty.

“No need for compensation. How the sect handles this is none of my concern, just please return the still-in-testing ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’ to me,” Li Shiming said very respectfully.

Yu Sect Leader was slightly taken aback, as he hadn’t expected Li Shiming to say this.

“Are you going to give up on the Yun Family’s compensation of one hundred fifty thousand spirit stones?” he hinted.

He also knew that Li Shiming had made a good amount of spirit stones from ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’, but the Yun Family’s compensation of one hundred fifty thousand spirit stones was no small figure.

Normally, it was equivalent to nearly the value of two Foundation Establishment Pills.

If Li Shiming were a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the compensation from the Yun Family would be much higher, but for a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, a compensation of one hundred fifty thousand spirit stones was an astronomical figure in the eyes of all cultivators.

But what Yu Sect Leader could not have imagined was that Li Shiming alone has amassed a fortune of two point four million spirit stones from selling the Spirit Sea Beast.

“How dare I take the Yun Family’s spirit stones? They have two Foundation Establishment Cultivators and over twenty late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. I dare not even leave the sect now,” Li Shiming said quietly.

Yu Sect Leader wanted to tell Li Shiming that the sect’s decision to station Yun Gang on the Heavenly Sea frontline for twenty years was already a severe punishment.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators are the sect’s bedrock, and unless there is evidence of defection, there’s always an escape route left for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But it was not proper to say that out aloud since, as Li Shiming said, any Foundation Establishment Cultivator who wanted to kill Li Shiming on the spot would just end up at the Heavenly Sea frontline.

Given Li Shiming’s current state, any cultivation of late-stage Qi Refining would suffice to have Li Shiming killed for the Yun Family.
