Li Yunjing has more courage than the heavens!
That’s a high-ranking Golden Core Elder!
Even if you suffer a loss, you should behave, the sect surely won’t ignore you!
You’re questioning an elder now, do you want to get thrown out?
At this moment, the stands with several tens of thousands of fellow disciples fell silent, all worried for Li Yunjing.
Especially Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, their hearts were in their throats.
The Golden Core heavyweights wield true power within the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
They control life and death, capable of anything.
Especially the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall, who oversees Li Yunjing; dealing with Li Yunjing is just a whim away.
If you offend this powerful figure, if they want you gone, you’re gone!
No matter how wronged, you must endure; how could you question such a person?
The entire crowd’s gaze gathered on the podium, fixed on the figure who could determine life and death.
The elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall was momentarily stunned, silently thinking, "This kid is interesting!"
With a cold expression, he asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
As he spoke, a wave of pressure aimed at Li Yunjing, bending his waist slightly.
The immense force, just a strand, almost made Li Yunjing collapse onto the ground.
The wounds on his body were pressed, blood gushed forth, leaving him drenched in blood; terrifying to behold.
"This elder is indeed powerful!"
Li Yunjing was shocked, his fiery temper instantly flared; he mustered all his mana, his bones crackled loudly.
He straightened his body, looking up at the high podium, at those lofty figures.
"The kid has a temper!"
The elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall smiled slightly, seeing Li Yunjing’s stubborn demeanor, vaguely recalling his own tenacious youth.
This is the inherent quality of the strong.
Unconsciously, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall developed a great liking for this young man.
Li Yunjing shouted loudly, "Hu Hua, used a forbidden artifact to assassinate me at the outer sect competition!"
"This matter clearly involves oversight from the sect!"
"Due to the sect’s mistake, I suffered heavy losses; a top-grade puppet, outer sect Daoist robe, Soul-Slaying Sword, Celestial Spirit Shield, several top-grade magical artifacts, all damaged!"
"I was also seriously injured, not sure how many spirit stones will be needed to buy immortal elixirs for healing. The sect cannot ignore this, right?"
Upon hearing these words, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
You can complain, just don’t go too far as to blame powerful figures!
This is still within the rules!
Li Yunjing seems alright, not confused.
The elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Instead of responding to Li Yunjing, he looked around at others seated nearby, saying, "Have you ever seen such a bold disciple? Daring to ask us for benefits directly."
"Hahaha! This kid is interesting! Plus, his talent is excellent! Able to cultivate the Five Thunders True Method at this age, he might be the next Xu Xun! Worth training!"
A nearby old Daoist, stroking his beard, said with a smile.
He seemed to admire Li Yunjing, actively speaking up.
"Reward him! In front of everyone, otherwise our disciples might think we are unfair!"
A woman in a rosy robe, her eyes gleaming, laughed lightly, finding Li Yunjing quite interesting.
Although the other powerful figures said nothing, they all nodded slightly, seemingly giving the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall the discretion to handle it.
With no objections, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall agreed, going along with the suggestion of the two prominent figures.
Looking back at Li Yunjing, he said deeply, "The Foreign Affairs Hall hosted the sect competition negligently, causing a major incident; you were affected and indeed deserve compensation!"
The elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall said this, suddenly spitting out a small sword about an inch long.
Though only an inch long, the sword was crystal clear like a jade hairpin, yet its aura was mighty; as it flew out, it radiated a cool green glow.
The green light illuminated the sky.
Everyone was captivated by this treasure, staring intensely, their hearts pounding.
Many minds echoed two words: "Spiritual Artifact!"
This is a grade above magical artifacts; a good item!
Spiritual artifacts are typically used by Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators!
Compared to the rigidity, singularity of magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts are more mysterious; some excellent ones can even act autonomously, killing enemies on their own!
Besides this mysterious quality, spiritual artifacts have high quality, crafted from Tier Two materials.
Their destructive power, toughness, defense, and accompanying divine techniques and special properties far surpass magical artifacts.
Having a spiritual artifact absolutely signifies preeminence among Qi Cultivators!
"This is an elite spiritual flying sword I crafted, which can be nurtured and enhanced, I’m gifting it to you!"
With deep affection, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall glanced at the flying sword, flicking his finger with a "ting" sound.
The small sword shrieked, emitting sharp energy, electrifying with lightning, making it difficult to look directly at!
The small sword emitted a piercing howl, spiraling around the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall several times, seemingly reluctant, bidding farewell to its master.
Then, with a "whoosh" sound, it unleashed a tidal wave of sword qi, rushing toward Li Yunjing!
