Chapter 1192: Chapter 524: Thinking for the Greater Good
The audience below was in an uproar, looking at Li Yunjing with a mix of awe and concern.
To challenge the dignity of a Nascent Soul Realm expert is simply asking for trouble!
Just now, Xiao Wuji had thrown a "Storage Ring", if it had really hit Li Yunjing, this young new leader would probably not fare well!
"Brother Li, this... this Xiao Wuji is a big figure at the fifth or sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, why must you argue with him?"
The "Purple Cloud Faction" members were even paler, Yu Zongzhe was so anxious that his forehead was dripping with sweat: "Just don’t say anything..."
"No problem!"
Li Yunjing remained calm, raised his hand to take off the "Storage Ring", and a flash of thunder at his fingertips instantly dissipated the pressure on the ring’s surface.
"Peak Master Xiao is a great figure and naturally has the demeanor of one."
His voice was calm but carried an undeniable firmness, "Everyone, don’t overthink!"
After reassuring the "Purple Cloud Faction", Li Yunjing did not hurry back to his residence.
Xiao Wuji’s provocation was no small matter; preparations had to be made in advance.
After everyone dispersed, he first went to the "Scripture Pavilion".
The "Scripture Pavilion" was where Li Yunjing’s fortune began.
He naturally wanted to visit some "old friends", and with this show of might, thoroughly win over the "Scripture Pavilion", supporting him to become the Sect Leader Venerable of "Shenxiao Dao Sect".
Still at the back mountain of the "Scripture Pavilion", under Elder Yue’s guidance, Li Yunjing once again arrived in front of Li Cangqiong’s bamboo house. As soon as he appeared, a gentle Divine Sense swept over him.
"Come in, young one."
The bamboo door opened in response, and Li Cangqiong, dressed in a purple Daoist Robe, was sitting at a stone table brewing tea, the fragrance wafting all around.
"Greetings, senior."
Li Yunjing saluted respectfully.
Looking at Li Cangqiong again, there was no longer the sickly appearance of the past.
Li Cangqiong seemed like a sharp sword, even if he restrained himself extremely, there was still an overpowering aura of slaying and annihilating everything!
It seemed that in front of Li Cangqiong, everyone had to follow his will or be slain!
This aura greatly shocked Li Yunjing!
Unexpectedly, the once gentle ailing elder, after recovering from his injuries, now had such a fierce aura!
It seemed to have the essence of a Sword Cultivator’s unrivaled will!
"Won a bout, yet you’re more reserved?"
Li Cangqiong pointed to the stone stool opposite, smiling.
"I have heard about Xiao Wuji’s matter."
He waved his hand, and two cups of clear tea floated to Li Yunjing and Elder Yue, "That old guy is known for his partiality, you’ve indeed poked the hornet’s nest this time."
"Junior has no choice."
Li Yunjing sipped the tea and said, "Celestial Hongzi’s conspiracy has been exposed, if Xiao Wuji doesn’t restore the situation, what face will ’Dubhe Peak’ have?"
His gaze was firm, "As long as I conduct myself with integrity, I’m not afraid of Peak Master Xiao targeting me!"
"Smart!"
Li Cangqiong’s eyes revealed a hint of appreciation: "If you handle things well, Xiao Wuji won’t find anything to accuse you of."
Li Yunjing’s gaze involuntarily fell on the subtle Sword Intent surrounding Li Cangqiong, and he couldn’t help but speak: "Senior, this Sword Intent... I have heard about triggering the world’s Sword Intent into oneself, could it be that senior..."
"Good eyesight."
Li Cangqiong tapped his finger lightly on the teacup, the ripples forming a sword shadow in the air before dissipating: "Retreated and recovered from my injuries, luckily broke through that barrier."
His tone was calm, but it made Elder Yue beside him straighten up suddenly.
For an unsuspecting Nascent Soul expert to be born within the "Scripture Pavilion", this news could shake the structure of the Sect.
Especially since Li Cangqiong was once one of the strong contenders for Sect Leader Venerable!
Back then, even a peerless genius like Ming Lingchuan wasn’t guaranteed to win against Li Cangqiong confidently!
If not for Li Cangqiong’s severe injuries and difficult recovery, he wouldn’t have faded from everyone’s sight.
Now Li Cangqiong has returned!
The world will surely witness the edge of this strong sword once again!
"Congratulations, senior, on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Li Yunjing immediately stood up, respectfully saluting Li Cangqiong, his eyes full of admiration and joy: "Such a magnificent event is enough to shake the entire ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’! When I was younger, senior took care of me, and now seeing senior return to the peak, I couldn’t be more honored!"
"Brother Li, after lying low for years, breaking through in one morning, truly satisfying!"
Elder Yue also came to his senses, his face full of excitement: "Those who underestimated you back then will have to reconsider in the future!"
"It was just luck, if not for the ’Spring of Life’ left by Yunjing, my injuries wouldn’t have recovered, not to mention breaking through."
Li Cangqiong smiled and waved his hand: he looked at Li Yunjing, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "As for you, facing Xiao Wuji’s provocation without fear, this courage reminds me of myself when I was young."
"Senior overpraises."
Li Yunjing’s expression became serious: "Junior simply cannot bear to see the Sect fall into internal conflict due to the selfishness of some people."
"Good! Having this ambition is the right attitude!"
Li Cangqiong heard this, Sword Intent in his eyes swirling, his aura suddenly rising, causing the entire bamboo house’s air to seem compressed.
He flicked his finger, and a strand of purple-gold Sword Qi flew into Li Yunjing’s Sea of Consciousness, "This is my insight into Sword Intent upon breakthrough, take it, it might help you."
"Thank you, senior, for your kindness! Junior will not disappoint your expectations!"
Li Yunjing felt a tremendous shock in his Sea of Consciousness, countless insights into the Sword Dao surging like a tide, he suppressed his inner shock and saluted again.
After a discussion, now having the full support of a Nascent Soul Realm expert, Li Yunjing stepped out of the bamboo house and headed straight to "Alchemy Tripod Peak", "Rising Sun Peak", and even "Jade Maiden Peak".
