"Impressive."
Li Wei's expression remained calm as he praised Su Cheng, who was fighting against Li Yunlin.
On the screen, The heavenly lightning, channeled through the twelve bronze figure formation, was already hurtling toward Li Yunlin. In theory, the power of heavenly lightning should be a level higher than that of flames, and the game's visuals reflected this. The flames erupting from Li Yunlin in all directions could not devour the lightning; arcs of lightning surged towards him from the ground formation.
It seemed to have paralyzed Li Yunlin.
The sharp sword was above his head, descending upon him with tremendous speed, leaving Li Yunlin no choice but to become a target.
But Su Cheng, who was clearly about to kill Li Yunlin, suddenly widened his eyes in shock, as if he had seen the King of Hell!
The Heavenly lightning passed through Li Yunlin's body, only leaving a scorch mark in the shape of a flame. The sharp sword slashed down, cleaving Li Yunlin in two, yet there was no gruesome scene of blood and flesh flying.
The sword then shattered into a hundred smaller swords, weaving through Li Yunlin's body with a continuous clanging sound.
The flames around Li Yunlin scattered even further, but they quickly reformed into his body.
At this moment, Li Yunlin was the flames themselves!
Until Li Yunlin rushed to Su Cheng's side, All the disciples at the sect's martial tournament watched in horror as Li Yunlin withdrew the nine fire lotuses, grasped a sword with his physical body, and swiftly ended Su Cheng's life!
At this moment, The Skyveil Sect fell into a deathly silence!
But Li Yunlin wasn't finished yet.
Under the gaze of everyone present,
He calmly picked up the spirit sword from the ground and the spiritual artifacts from Su Cheng's body, placing them back into his storage ring. Then, as if nothing had happened, he calmly dressed himself on the spot, his previous clothes having been destroyed, before strolling forward.
Upon reaching the front of the grand hall, he calmly bowed deeply to the Sect Master and the numerous elders on the platform.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, I, disciple Li Yunlin, was eager to eliminate a traitor for the sect and caused a disturbance to the esteemed elders. I beg the Sect Master's forgiveness!"
"Hmph."
The Skyveil Sect's Sect Master, appearing youthful in white robes adorned with cloud patterns, exuded an air of authority despite his casual demeanor. He let out a cold snort, but his voice remained gentle, betraying no true anger. "Explain your reasons for killing," he inquired.
Only then did Li Yunlin recount the events of the past.
It turned out that after the death of Li Yunlin's master, Elder Huolin, Su Cheng's master had seized Spirit Fire Peak, where Li Yunlin resided!
Afterward, Su Cheng feigned friendship with Li Yunlin, hoping to discover the location of Elder Huolin's spiritual treasure, the 'Nine Spirit Mystic Flame.' Ultimately, Li Yunlin remained tight-lipped. Moreover, due to restrictions placed on sect disciples, a mark would appear on anyone who killed a fellow disciple. Exploiting this, Su Cheng deliberately revealed the location of Elder Huolin's body.
Subsequently, he planned to collude with disciples from the Black Tortoise Sect to force Li Yunlin to reveal the location of the 'Nine Spirit Mystic Flame.'
However, unexpectedly, Li Yunlin's master had left him a strand of divine consciousness!
And that led to the events that followed.
"For five years, this disciple cultivated his heart on the Cliff of Self-Reflection!"
"For seven years, I remained hidden among the masses, but the Nine Spirit Mystic Flame had long since merged with my dantian, bonding with my heart and soul. The Heavenly Pond Spirit Spring left by my master tempered my physique. At not even thirty years old, I have achieved Foundation Establishment with dual spiritual roots!
"By slaying this traitor Su Cheng today, I have not dishonored my master's spirit in heaven and have eliminated a villain for the Skyveil Sect."
"As long as the Sect Master gives the order, this disciple is willing to die and report back to my master!"
Upon hearing these words and seeing Li Yunlin's resolute expression, many elders became deeply worried.
They pleaded with the Sect Master one after another.
"Sect Master, although Li Yunlin has acted audaciously, Elder Huolin has rendered great service to the sect. How can we kill his last disciple?"
"Well said. Besides, how can young people not be spirited? Yunlin was simply eager to eliminate a villain for the sect."
"If such a loyal and devoted disciple is killed, it will chill the hearts of others, Sect Master."
Watching those elders of indeterminate age pleading on the screen.
The corner of Li Wei's mouth twitched.
"Alright, alright, so everyone's decided to play a role in this little drama, huh?"
In truth, he had long seen through Li Yunlin's intentions, which was why he had been so at ease!
Li Yunlin had even deliberately chosen to kill today during the martial arts tournament.
You know, Cultivators have limited lifespans. Even with spirit pills, a Foundation Establishment cultivator's lifespan is only a little over two hundred years. Golden Core experts live for five hundred years. And at the Nascent Soul stage, it's two thousand years!
However, achieving breakthroughs in cultivation is not that simple; otherwise, we wouldn't have seen so many fake Golden Core cultivators during the great battles at Silver Iron Forest and Tailin Town.
Therefore, Whenever an individual with exceptional talent appears, whether it's within a family or a sect, they are treated like a precious treasure, and no mishap can be tolerated!
Now, Li Yunlin, at the young age of thirty, has not only broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage but also displayed remarkable skills and an exceptional temperament.
So, how could the elders of the Skyveil Sect, let alone the Sect Master, bear to kill Li Yunlin?
Especially, Li Wei searched through the event log for the notification about Li Yunlin's breakthrough.
[Your descendant bathed in the Heavenly Pond Spirit Spring, achieving Foundation Establishment through it, and now possesses only Gold and Fire spiritual roots!]
[Heavenly Pond Spirit Spring: As Elder Huolin approached the end of his natural lifespan, he dedicated a century to gathering spiritual liquid, utilizing rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures. When the time came for him to attempt a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage, he employed this potent liquid to purify his meridians and marrow, thoroughly cleansing his dantian and Qi sea of accumulated impurities.]
[Li Yunlin's Gold and Fire spiritual roots have broken through to 85 points!]
Achieving Foundation Establishment at 29 with highly refined dual spiritual roots, he is already a rare genius. Breaking through to the Golden Core stage before his lifespan ends is not a problem!
[Your descendant Li Yunlin has obtained the spiritual treasure, Nine Spirit Mystic Flame, and integrated it into his body, becoming like a flame himself. As long as the lotus flames remain unextinguished, his physical body will not perish!]
[Nine Spirit Mystic Flame: Nine lotus flames, which can be nurtured with true Qi and forged with the essence of a Golden Core.]
This spiritual treasure alone is comparable to a top-grade spiritual weapon, and it's directly symbiotic with Li Yunlin.
If the opportunity arises, Li Yunlin might even break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
This is Li Yunlin's trump card, allowing him to act so recklessly at the martial arts tournament!
Not only that, Li Yunlin deliberately put on this show for everyone in the Skyveil Sect to see, letting them know that he, Li Yunlin, is now the sect's greatest treasure!
He was doing this especially for Su Cheng's master to see.
Only by killing Su Cheng in this manner, in front of everyone, would those old codgers who practically wanted to pamper and dote on Li Yunlin become wary of Su Cheng's master!
Forget about whether Su Cheng's master would take action against him for his disciple; they'd probably suspect Su Cheng's master even if Li Yunlin tripped and fell on the street.
As expected, Amid the pleas of the many elders, Sect Master glanced at Su Cheng's master, "Elder Qiuye, what do you think? Shall we execute this boy?"
Elder Qiuye appeared middle-aged, giving the impression of being honest and simple-minded.
At this moment, he forced a laugh and said, "Sect Master, absolutely not! Alas, a scourge has emerged from my lineage. Nephew Yunlin's actions in purging the sect are actually a blessing for me."
"Hmph, regardless of his motives, killing in public is a heinous crime. How can this sect tolerate such behavior?"
Sect Master let out a cold snort and gazed at Li Yunlin with an icy stare.
"However, while a death sentence is unavoidable, a punishment must still be served. This sect sentences you to confinement on the Cliff of Self-Reflection."
"For five days!"
