93: Chapter 93 You'll Remember This

"Elder Leng Ku, I will certainly report this matter to the Holy Land and demand an explanation from you." Long Sheng cast a cold glance at the old man who exuded an obnoxious aura. Before leaving, he actually struck out with a palm towards Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu, seemingly to avenge his own child, Long En.

"Boom—"

Elder Leng Ku's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly blocked in front of Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu, barely managing to withstand the palm strike: "You old bastard, how dare you do this?"

The formidable aura made Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu feel the breath of death in that moment. The shockwave from just now had caused her significant injury, and she flew backward while holding Yun Zhe, "Pfft—"

"Damn it, how will I be able to gain the appreciation of Leng Qianming after returning now?" Elder Leng Ku instantly took out a Grade 5 healing pill and fed it to Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu, fearing that the woman would die from that previous strike.

Meanwhile, Yun Zhe felt nothing but helplessness in his heart, unable to voice his grievances. If he hadn't provoked Long En, where would all this trouble have come from?

"Alright, now send both of them to the Endless Purgatory to be punished." Long Sheng felt as though he had finally vented some of his anger. He ordered an Inner Sect elder to quickly handle the matter before them, keeping a wary eye on Elder Leng Ku the whole time, fearing he might strike.

Under the escort of an Inner Sect elder, Yun Zhe and Long En were sent together into the Endless Purgatory for punishment. On the arena, only Ye Xuan remained standing, enjoying the worshipful gazes of the disciples below.

There was a time, when Ye Xuan was ten years old in the Outer Sect, that he had also enjoyed such treatment with high spirits. But now was not then; in his heart, there was nothing but calm.

"Elder Leng, how did my sister end up like this?" A figure arrived riding a flying spiritual treasure. He was dressed in a grey robe with a cold expression, gazing coldly at Elder Leng Ku: "What happened? Tell me everything clearly."

Realizing that her younger brother had arrived, Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu spoke first: "Qianming, it was Long En's Dao Protector, Long Sheng, who did this."

"What? My sister was actually injured by that old scoundrel?" Leng Qianming's expression turned icy. He hurriedly fed his sister a healing pill. Seeing Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu's complexion turn slightly rosier, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately looked at the nearby elders with sharp, cold eyes: "I think you Inner Sect elders have reached the end of your careers!"

"Bastards, such a heinous incident occurred, yet you didn't report it to the higher-ups of the Holy Land in time!"

Those few elders immediately hunched over, expressions of embarrassment on their faces, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"True Disciple Ye, this… our strength is low, and we couldn't stop Elder Long from striking at all, which is why Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu was injured."

It was a joke; they were fighting like immortals, and with their low strength, how would they dare to step in?

"Go to the Endless Purgatory yourselves and accept three years of punishment!"

"Yes, we obey!" The few elders bowed respectfully, and one by one, they could only leave with bitter expressions.

"True Disciple Ye, as a True Disciple, why did you not stop Long Sheng from striking?"

At this moment, Leng Qianming also looked at Ye Xuan with an unkind expression, his brows tightly furrowed. The two held the same status, so there was no superior-subordinate relationship, but these words carried a tone of interrogation.

"Leng Qianming, he helped your brother-in-law a great deal, do not be rude! With only Spirit Profound Realm strength, how could he possibly stop that old scoundrel Long Sheng?" Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu, having recovered, glanced at Ye Xuan with a complicated expression, but she still spoke up for him.

"This…" Hearing this, Leng Qianming's expression improved slightly. He could only bow and apologize: "True Disciple Ye, it is all because this Senior Brother was too anxious about my sister's safety. I hope you will not take it to heart."

As he said this, he thought for a moment, took out five jin of Source Stones from his spirit ring, and placed them into Ye Xuan's hands.

Source Stones were a level of cultivation resource higher than spirit stones. In terms of spiritual energy, Source Stones were purer and were great things for breaking through bottlenecks.

"True Disciple Leng, there is no need for such courtesy. Since it was a misunderstanding, clearing it up is enough." Ye Xuan accepted the five jin of Source Stones and responded with a smile.

However, the culprit this time was none other than the sister in your own arms.

If she hadn't been making trouble, I fear today's Inner Sect competition would have ended long ago; why go to such lengths as today?

It was hard on Yun Zhe, and one could say it was also hard on Long En and the other, both sides suffering losses.

Ye Xuan also looked at Leng Qianming's Life Fate.

[Name: Leng Qianming] [Realm: Earth Profound Realm, 8th Stage, Late Phase] [Constitution: Innate Dao Body (Gold) (Semi-awakened)] [Luck: Bearing of a Great Emperor (Gold), Soaring to the Skies (Purple), Beloved by Heaven and Earth (Gold), Invincible (Purple)] [Fate: 《Rise of the Great Emperor》(Protagonist), 《Evil God》(Supporting Role)] [Favorability: 60]

[Life Fate: Born into a Saint-level orthodoxy affiliated with the Cangqiong Holy Land. At birth, the Innate Dao Body manifested strange phenomena, shocking the family ancestor, who regarded him as the family's hope.]

[At twenty years old, he fell into a secret realm and obtained a supreme profound technique—《Innate Dao Scripture》. In the same year, he cultivated his physical body to the peak of the True Profound Realm.]

[At twenty-five years old, he broke through to the Earth Profound Realm.]

[At twenty-six years old, he initially mastered the profound technique within the 《Innate Dao Scripture》—Innate Sword Art.]

[In the same year, his cultivation reached the late phase of the 8th Stage of the Earth Profound Realm.]

[In his ten years of cultivation, he fought Third Saint Son Zhao Long over a hundred times, each time ending in a draw.]

[Three months later, while battling Third Saint Son Zhao Long, at the moment he was about to lose, he miraculously activated his Innate Dao Body and was teleported to the forbidden area of the Cangqiong Holy Land, the depths of the Mystic Ice Purgatory, where he obtained the supreme weapon left behind from the ancient war—the nine heavens god-slaying spear.]

[Later, during a conversation with his Dao Protector Elder Leng Ku, he discovered the trickery involved and intentionally lured him into bringing Third Saint Son Zhao Long over, wanting to wipe them all out. In the end, it failed, and another Dao Protector intervened to escort him away.]

"Hehe, another protagonist? A decent leek, but compared to a protagonist of Yun Zhe's level, he is still a bit lacking."

Ye Xuan stroked his chin, constantly weighing this opportunity in his heart; he was actually quite envious.

The Cangqiong Holy Land also has a Mystic Ice Purgatory? And inside there is a supreme weapon—the nine heavens god-slaying spear.

"It seems I cannot be idle in the future; I must go and obtain this opportunity. Also, I need to drag Long En and this kid along; when the time comes to deal with Third Saint Son Zhao Long together, I will be able to relax quite a bit."

After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan had already figured out a strategy. Third Saint Son Zhao Long was always a threat; as a Saint Son, his cultivation was likely already at the Heaven Profound Realm and could not be underestimated.

"Since Yun Zhe and Long En have already been punished by being sent into the Endless Purgatory, proceed with the execution. However, shorten the time; one month will suffice." Leng Qianming said to the elders who were escorting Yun Zhe and Long En.

"We obey the order of True Disciple Leng!" The remaining Inner Sect elders bowed one after another.

After speaking, Leng Qianming took his sister, Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu, and left the arena.

His sister had found a man who loved her; Leng Qianming actually did not oppose it in his heart, only that Yun Zhe was too weak right now.

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, status is the best passport; everyone must abide by this rule.

"Junior Brother Yun, you've suffered. After you come out, this Senior Brother will treat you to a meal." Ye Xuan looked at Yun Zhe helplessly.

Yun Zhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it's a small matter. Just don't go back on your word, Senior Brother."

"Brother Long, you must hate me quite a bit right now, right?" Yun Zhe turned his gaze to Long En.

"You kid have decent strength and not bad character. If you hadn't spoken these words to me openly and honestly, I fear I would indeed have had some opinions about you."

Hearing that this kid was taking the initiative to explain, Long En shook his head, then immediately looked at Ye Xuan with the expression of a martial arts fanatic: "Enough talk. The road ahead is still long. I have never lost to anyone among my peers. Today, I have been shown that there really is someone stronger than me. In the future, I will challenge you again; I hope you won't hold back anymore!"

"Oh? That depends on whether you have the ability to force me to use my full strength." Ye Xuan said jokingly.
