Chapter 183: Chapter 138 Disappointment (Added more 2)

For the major sects, privately hoarding Prohibition Spirit Gold is a serious crime.

The Heavenly Sea Sect’s rewards for turning in Prohibition Spirit Gold are very generous, and although they forcefully requisition it, the compensation they provide is likewise ample.

After Yun Gang finished his statement, Li Shiming gave him a faint look, then took something out from his waist.

“Your name is Yun Gang, isn’t it? How many benefits have you received from the Holy Ice Sect to attempt murder in front of Deacon Xu of the Law Enforcement Hall, killing on the nine peaks of our sect? If I weren’t an Intermediate Array Master and had not relied on the Sect Formation to protect myself, I would have been killed by you on the spot!” Li Shiming accused angrily.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators who came later were not aware of the previous events and only understood what had just happened when they heard his recounting of them.

Especially after hearing Li Shiming’s clear accusations, they all looked at Li Shiming and Yun Gang with scrutinizing eyes.

Now it all depended on who was lying. Once such a grave crime was confirmed, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would not be tolerated by the sect.

“I was just acting in a moment of anger, aren’t you still alive?” Yun Gang’s complexion changed at this moment, as he regretted his earlier impulsiveness, fearful of Li Shiming’s status as an Intermediate Array Master.

Li Shiming was still waiting; he was waiting for his own backup.

The Sect Formation emitted a surge of Spiritual Power Pattern, and Junior Master Zhuge appeared from the void.

His strength was not considered powerful amongst the group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but as a High-level Array Master, he did not rely on combat power. Within the Sect Formation, he could easily trap and kill any Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

“Yun Gang, have you no shame, attacking a Qi Refinement Realm disciple? If you don’t give an explanation for this matter, my Dui Peak and your Gen Peak have an unsettled score!” Junior Master Zhuge said as he looked behind Yun Gang.

Junior Master Zhuge had received the message a step late; he was dealing with sect affairs just before.

Although he hadn’t heard the entire story, Yun Gang’s attempt to kill Li Shiming had already enraged him.

Li Shiming, an Intermediate Array Master who possesses the Intermediate Array Formation Starlight Sea, is bound to become a High-level Array Master as long as he lives.

In addition, Yin Shilan and Li Shiming, both young, possess the Array Formation Starlight Sea and are all considered seeds for becoming Array Masters of the sect.

For many years, the sect had not seen the emergence of an Array Master, and now that there was a glimmer of hope, it had nearly been extinguished by an internal killing.

Junior Master Zhuge’s words were not only directed at Yun Gang. As the one controlling the Sect Formation, he had already detected the hidden Peak Master Zhao of Gen Peak.

Aside from Central Peak, each of the nine peaks has its own Peak Master. These are the nine high-ranking officials of the sect, managing the sect together with the Sect Leader.

The nine Peak Masters manage their respective peaks, with power and strength in the upper echelon of the sect.

“Junior Brother Zhuge, please calm your anger. If there is indeed evidence proving Yun Gang and the Yun Family colluded with an external sect to kill their fellow sect members, there’s no need for the Law Enforcement Hall to take action. Gen Peak will clean its own house!” A figure appeared next to Yun Gang, and Peak Master Zhao, who showed himself, spoke indifferently.

“Junior Master Zhuge, I really have evidence!” Li Shiming interjected before Junior Master Zhuge could argue with Peak Master Zhao.

In an instant, the cultivators present turned their attention to Li Shiming, waiting for his next move.

Li Shiming opened the object in his hand, and a video appeared on the screen.

It was the footage from when he entered the yard; everything Yun Ze had said, even the commanding attitude he held at the time, was clearly visible.

Yun Ze probably thought that Li Shiming’s death was certain, which is why he talked more than necessary.

The four maids drew their swords simultaneously, and their skills immediately revealed to the cultivators that the maids were exceptional.

“What is this item? ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’ doesn’t have this feature, does it?” Yun Gang exclaimed in shock.

Although ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’ had only circulated among Qi Refining Cultivators, after so much time had passed, some Foundation Establishment Cultivators had bought it to play around with it, so ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’ was not unfamiliar to the assembled Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Especially for Yun Gang, with Yun’s Trading House doing great business, providing him and another Foundation Establishment Cultivator with an abundance of Spirit Stone resources, he was well aware of ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View,’ which brought profits to Yun’s Trading House.

“‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’ is a little gadget I made. What I have here is a test version of ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View’!” Li Shiming replied with a smile.

Fortunately for him, this device he crafted was a bit different from the normal ‘Thousand-Mile Mutual View.’ Because it was for personal use, he barely used Spiritual Power Pattern and Array Runes in its features.

Thus, when Yun Ze activated the effects of Prohibition Spirit Gold, his device could still be used smoothly, only the contact functionality with the outside world had been cut off, as that part required interaction with Array Runes.

Peak Master Zhao felt helplessly conflicted inside. He initially intended to protect Yun Gang and the Yun Family; the Yun Family was a part of Gen Peak, and its interests were largely tied to Gen Peak’s.

But everything that was happening before him meant he could no longer protect the Yun Family.

“Damn it! To dare conspire with an external sect and murder fellow sect members within Gen Peak!” Peak Master Zhao’s eyes flashed with killing intent, and a sword light appeared in his hand, slashing towards Yun Ze.

If Yun Ze, as the person involved, was killed, then all the blame could be shifted to the dead man.

That way, Gen Peak’s loss would be significantly reduced.

With a sword strike by a late-stage Foundation Establishment, even Steward Xu of the Law Enforcement Hall wouldn’t be able to block it. Moreover, the attack was so sudden that Yun Ze was about to be killed on the spot.

“Killing in front of me, it seems the whole of Gen Peak is cut from the same cloth!” Junior Master Zhuge shouted loudly in anger.

The unstoppable sword strike, however, didn’t land. Even though Peak Master Zhao was the master of Gen Peak, the highest authority of the Sect Formation was in the hands of Junior Master Zhuge.
