Chapter 866 - Escalating Situation
"Someone you want to surpass? With your talents, there isn't anyone in this realm that can possibly match you…" Sect Master of the Heavenly Academy said.
Li Jinxi sighed after hearing such words, "That confirms nobody here can help me achieve my goal. If you really think I am currently the most talented to walk this land, then you have no idea what's truly out there."
"Forget it. I have already made my decision. I won't be joining any of the sects here. Let me leave this place now."
The Sect Masters exchanged frowned looks with each other.
If Li Jinxi refuses to join them, she could become a huge threat to them in the future, and that future wouldn't be very far away either— not with her ridiculous talents.
Suddenly, one of the Sect Masters there suddenly stood up and scoffed, "Enough of this bullshit."
"Sect Master Sun… You…"
"Shut up!"
The Sect Master of the Universal Music Academy, Sun Hao, shouted.
He then pointed at Li Jinxi and continued, "Who do you think you are, huh?"
"I don't care which family you came from or how talented you are, but how dare you come here and mock us— the Seven Spirit Academies?!"
"How dare you come here and participate in our examination and then tell us that you had no intentions of joining from the start?! I have never been mocked in such a manner before!"
The other Sect Masters remained silent after hearing Sun Hao's words, mostly because it made a lot of sense.
The only reason Li Jinxi can be so relaxed right now is because of her talents that these Sect Masters covet. If it were anybody else, they would've probably been punished with death by now.
However, now that it was clear to them that Li Jinxi does not plan on joining their sect, it would be for the best if they got rid of her so that nobody else could have her.
"Yuan… This doesn't look good…" Meixiu turned to look at him with a worried look on her face.
He nodded, "I know."
After a moment of silence, he said, "Meixiu, Lulu, the both of you stay here. Xiao Hua, we're going back."
"What are you going to do? As much as I hate to say this, Li Jinxi is half responsible for her situation. She could've worded herself better..." Chu Liuxiang said.
"I know she's in the wrong, but I can't just stand here and do nothing. I will, at the very least, make sure that she's safe. We can deal with the specifics afterward."
After putting down Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang, Yuan flew back to the square with Xiao Hua following beside him.
Since he was in a hurry, he flew at his highest possible speed, which was multiple times faster than before, and it would only be a matter of time before he returned to the square with the seven elders.
Meanwhile, the situation between Li Jinxi and the Sect Masters only got worse.
"Say something! Did you purposefully come here just to piss us off or what? I don't care how talented you are— if you are not our ally, then I will deal with you accordingly!"
The Sect Master of the Universal Music Academy released his cultivation, overwhelming Li Jinxi with the intense pressure of a Spirit King.
"!!!"
Li Jinxi's body suddenly lowered until she was nearly on her knees, but she managed to react in time and barely prevented her knees from touching the floor.
The Sect Masters were shocked to see a third level Spirit Master resist the aura of a Spirit King, regardless of their talents. However, this only further convinced them that Li Jinxi is a threat that must be removed if she refuses to be on their side.If you want to read more chapters, visit
"Sect Master Sun, calm down a bit. Regardless of her actions, she is still a junior, and we are being watched by millions of people right now." The Heavenly Academy's Sect Master said to Sun Hao using spiritual sense.
"Hmph, I wouldn't care even if we're being watched by the whole world. This junior needs to be taught a lesson for looking down on her seniors. Also, it would be dangerous to let an untamed monster like her wander this world. Heaven knows what she is capable of in the future." Sun Hao said.
"I know. Let's give her one more chance to join us before we decide on anything."
"Fine." Sun Hao stopped pressuring Li Jinxi the next moment.
"Haaa…. Haaa…" Li Jinxi breathed heavily with her body soaked in sweat.
Even though she had to resist Sun Hao's pressure for a few moments, it was enough to drain almost all of her energy.
'These people are strong! Much stronger than Yuan when I first fought him!' She cried inwardly.
However, despite her body and instincts trembling in fear, her heart was actually burning with excitement.
'These people… I want to fight them!'
"Do not be mistaken. This does not mean that I have forgiven you for your sins." Sun Hao said, snapping Li Jinxi out of her daze.
Li Jinxi coldly snorted, "If you're expecting me to apologize for my actions, it won't happen."
"Y-You disrespectful little bit—"
Before Sun Hao could release his anger, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Academy stepped forward and said, "What you did here today not only disrespected our Seven Spirit Academies, but it also mocked us, who came all the way out here to invite you to join our sect."
"So you're here to specifically recruit me?" Li Jinxi suddenly asked.
"Yes, that's right. We, the Sect Masters, do not normally intervene in disciple examinations."
Hearing such words, Li Jinxi could only snort coldly, "Really? But I don't recall asking for any of your presence. You came here on your own accord, and now you're blaming me for wasting your time?"
"T-This bitch has zero respect for us! She may be talented, but she's clearly brainless!" Sun Hao gritted his teeth in anger.
