"You..."
Seeing Li Yunjing play so ruthlessly, He Baoâs face drastically changed, losing all his arrogance.
One must know that once on the "Enmity Platform", if Li Yunjing took the opportunity to kill him, He Bao would just die in vain.
Within the sect, the only way to resolve personal grudges without facing sect penalties is to step onto the "Enmity Platform" and fight to the death.
"Haha! Fine! Li Yunjing, you do have guts! If it were me, would you still dare to come onto the âEnmity Platformâ together?"
As He Bao was fretting, another person walked in from outside.
"Itâs you! Senior Brother Han..."
Li Yunjing saw the person and was somewhat surprised. Raising an eyebrow, he coldly said, "If you want to get on the âEnmity Platformâ, I can have some fun with you!"
This person was the senior brother Han who had pursued Lv Ruoxi!
Back then, Han had been driven away by Fang Yiyun, Lv Ruoxiâs number one admirer, who used his wealth. Who wouldâve thought heâd show up here today, causing trouble for Li Yunjing!
It seemed He Bao was acting under Hanâs orders!
Back then, Hanâs cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment Realm Sixth Heaven. Given his strength, it would be hard to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven in four years. Naturally, Li Yunjing didnât have a good impression of him.
Even if Han had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven, Li Yunjing wasnât afraid of him!
Now, Li Yunjing was no longer a rookie and had long been capable of competing with various prodigies.
This Senior Brother Han was no good. He had dared to pursue Lv Ruoxi back then.
Lv Ruoxi was now Li Yunjingâs woman. Since Senior Brother Han had this wicked thought, naturally, Li Yunjing wouldnât let him off. Just as well, he could use him to establish his prestige.
Let all the true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" see what happens when they oppose him!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Senior Brother Han laughed out of anger, clapping as he spoke.
He never thought that a mere nobody like Li Yunjing, who had been in the Foundation Establishment Realm for less than five years, would dare to challenge him!
This truly disregarded him completely!
"Oh? Itâs quite lively here!"
Just as Senior Brother Han was about to agree to the duel, a crisp voice sounded.
Following the voice, everyone saw a girl in a yellow robe entering the "Moonlight Hall".
Another true disciple had appeared!
Li Yunjing looked over, frowning as he recognized another old acquaintance.
He wondered whether this woman was here as friend or foe.
Not only did Li Yunjing frown, but so did Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao.
This woman was none other than Ying Qianqian, Li Yunjingâs competitor in the outer sectâs finals years ago.
No one expected to encounter this woman at such a moment.
Ying Qianqian was still graceful and beautiful, wearing the yellow robe of a true disciple.
The Daoist robe accentuated Ying Qianqianâs tall and graceful figure, making it extraordinarily charming.
Her jade-like cheeks were untouched by any makeup.
Her bare face appeared fresh and otherworldly, different yet equally stunning compared to Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi.
"Am I not welcomed?"
Ying Qianqian, with a smile on her face, glanced at everyone before asking Li Yunjing.
Ying Qianqian didnât pay much attention to anyone else, but her gaze lingered on Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi for a breath, seemingly surprised by their stunning beauty.
"So itâs Senior Sister Ying, youâre of course welcome! Did you come with this gentleman?"
Li Yunjing asked curiously.
As long as he confirmed that this woman was one of the masterminds against him, he wouldnât be polite!
"Not at all! Iâm here with my grandfather for a meal. Hearing the buzz about you just getting released, I came over to take a look and happened to stumble upon this trouble."
Ying Qianqian covered her mouth and chuckled, then said meaningfully, "You wouldnât start a fight here, would you?"
"Oh! Of course not! I strictly follow the sect rules. If thereâs a small issue to resolve, I choose to go to the âEnmity Platformâ to settle it thoroughly, no backing out!"
Li Yunjing said, casting a cold glance at Senior Brother Han.
"Interesting! Iâm curious about your courage to say such things. I can fight you. On the âEnmity Platformâ, I will crush you with my own hands!"
Senior Brother Han, his face turning even uglier, said in a low voice.
"Cough, cough..."
Just then, an elderly man cleared his throat and walked in.
Everyone turned to look upon hearing the cough, and saw an elder in a white Daoist robe, exuding an air of immortality.
He walked silently, without any spiritual energy fluctuations, seeming like a mortal.
In the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", there naturally were no mortals!
The fact that he gave such an illusion indicated that this elderâs cultivation far surpassed Foundation Establishment, possibly Golden Core or even Nascent Soul Realm. With no display of his power, it was hard to tell.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
Almost everyone stood up and bowed in respect.
"Who might this senior be...?"
Even Li Yunjing asked respectfully.
"This is my grandfather. We came for a meal,"
Ying Qianqian explained with a smile.
"Young man, not bad!"
Ying Qianqianâs grandfather appraised Li Yunjing, nodding slightly, as though he had long heard of Li Yunjingâs name.
"Senior overpraises me. I have much to learn!"
Li Yunjing said with uncharacteristic humility.
"Since the senior is here, Iâll not interrupt your meal."
On the other side, Senior Brother Han said some courteous words, then looked at Li Yunjing, sneering, "One month from today, at three quarters past noon, Iâll wait for you on the âEnmity Platformâ! If you donât dare show up, you must henceforth call He Bao âMaster Heâ upon seeing him!"
"This worthless piece of trash?"
Li Yunjing glanced disdainfully at He Bao, then looked at Senior Brother Han with defiance, "Iâll be there! Just make sure you donât find an excuse to run away! That would really disappoint me!"
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, Senior Brother Han wanted to lash out, but with a Golden Core level figure present, he dared not act rashly. He just shot He Bao a look before leading people out of the "Moonlight Hall".
With the nuisance gone, the atmosphere in the "Moonlight Hall" improved significantly.
Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao invited the elder and Ying Qianqian to sit for a while and offered a few cups of wine.
During the banquet, the elder seemed very curious about Li Yunjing, talking amiably with him.
Li Yunjing and the elder conversed happily, and Li Yunjing seized the chance to ask about cultivating the "Celestial Secret Technique".
"Haha!"
The elder, wise as he was, quickly saw through Li Yunjingâs thoughts. With a few simple questions, he deduced that Li Yunjing was practicing the "Shenxiao Divine Forging Celestial Secret Technique".
The elder was indeed a master from the "Celestial Secret Pavilion". With a few words, he cleared up Li Yunjingâs confusion, saving him three to five yearsâ time!
"Alright! Meeting you, young friend, was interesting! My granddaughter and I will take our leave now."
Having met Li Yunjing and confirmed the youthâs exceptional talent, the elderâs curiosity was satisfied, and he stood up to leave with Ying Qianqian.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior! Let me see you off!"
Li Yunjing stood quickly, expressing his gratitude.
"No need! You all continue with your gathering. I have to go upstairs to meet some friends."
The elder waved his hand, refusing Li Yunjingâs offer.
With Ying Qianqianâs support, he leisurely walked out of the "Moonlight Hall".
Li Yunjing and his group stood and watched them leave.
Once the elder and Ying Qianqian had left, everyone sat down again.
"Old Li, what do you think that seniorâs cultivation level is?"
Sitting down again, Fu Chao asked curiously.
"Hey! How would I know? That senior didnât reveal a hint of his power!"
Li Yunjing replied with a smile.
