#971 - You call this a slight punishment?

This display of strength shocked everyone.

In the distance, there were people from other cities who didn't step forward but watched from afar, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Let me go!" The young master of the Yao family, his neck locked, was lifted into the air, his face turning red as he kicked his legs wildly.

His eyes were vicious as he roared, all bluster and no substance, "Do you know who I am? My Yao family has experts at the Saint King realm.

How dare you treat me like this? Have you considered the price you'll pay when my Yao family finds out?"

He was now frantic, feeling a sense of humiliation that was hard to describe.

He originally wanted to show off in front of that celestial-like woman, but he was easily subdued, losing all face, which he couldn't accept.

The hatred in his heart for the youth before him reached an unbearable level.

"Boy, quickly release him! Our families all have Saint Kings, which are enormous beings to you, you can't afford to offend us!"

"Release him immediately and stay away from that lady beside you, don't meddle in things that don't concern you.

Otherwise, even if you enter a sect in the future, your days will be difficult!"

......

Several young masters from other cities also threatened him.

They knew very well which major families were in Qingyun City.

This person was not a direct descendant of any major family in Qingyun City, because there was no Moon family in Qingyun City.

This meant that this person was likely a rogue cultivator, or at most from a small family.

In their eyes, such a person could be easily manipulated by their families.

"I really hate your mouths and eyes."

Jun Wuxie's cold voice was their response.

Immediately afterward, the young master of the Yao family let out a miserable scream as two fingers pierced his eye sockets, and blood splattered.

With a soft sound.

The pair of eyeballs of the young master of the Yao family were gouged out.

The bloody scene scared the screaming young masters, their legs trembled, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and their faces turned pale.

"Ah! My eyes, my eyes! I want to tear you into pieces, my Yao family will not let you go!"

The young master of the Yao family let out a heart-wrenching roar, the resentment in his voice sending chills down one's spine.

Jun Wuxie's eyes were cold, his palms surrounded by bloody energy, and with one palm strike, he shattered his celestial passage, then tore out the young master of the Yao family's tongue.

This scene made everyone's eyes twitch violently, their bodies chilled, and they were all frightened by this ruthless method.

At this time, Jun Wuxie casually threw the young master of the Yao family out.

His body drew a parabola in the air and plunged into the pond with a thud, his head and body all submerged in the mud, leaving only two feet on the surface of the water.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't come over here!"

"We are the young masters of major families, our families have more than a dozen Saint King realm experts!"

The remaining young masters were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were about to burst.

Seeing the ruthless youth approaching, their legs went weak, their calves began to cramp, they couldn't stand steady, and they fell to the ground, retreating backward with both hands and feet.

Those who followed the lead of the several young masters were now too frightened to move.

Their teeth collided in fear, clattering, and cold sweat streamed down their foreheads and temples.

Zhou Ling, Zhou Meng, and Lin Sheng's faces were a little pale, shocked and frightened by this ruthlessness and coldness.

When they met this Yue Wuxie at the audition site a few days ago, their impression was that although he didn't talk much and seemed aloof, his attitude and words were relatively easygoing if you interacted with him.

But now, it was completely different from the impression in their minds.

"Some words cannot be said casually, some people are not for you to covet, otherwise, you are digging your own grave!"

Jun Wuxie's voice was cold and merciless, and at the same time, with a grab in the void, the young master of the Liu family was sucked over by him, blood energy gushing out, and the young master of the Liu family's body shook violently, screaming miserably.

"Ah! My celestial passage, my true energy, no... You demon, my family will not let you go!"

He couldn't accept this cruel fact. The true energy he had worked so hard to cultivate was gone, and the celestial passage was shattered.

Puff!

Along with the sound of blood spurting, the young master of the Liu family's screams were even more heart-wrenching.

Blood spurted from his eye sockets, a pair of eyeballs were gouged out, and the next moment, his entire tongue was pulled out, his mouth open but unable to make any sound, only a large amount of blood gushing out of his mouth.

After witnessing such a scene twice in a row, the remaining young masters were about to collapse, paralyzed on the ground like a sieve.

A patch of wetness quickly spread in the crotch area, and a fishy smell permeated the air.

They were so frightened that they lost control of their bladders.

"Don't, we were wrong, we won't dare anymore!"

"You can't do this, we didn't do anything, we just said a few words to the lady beside you, you can't... Ah..."

Before those few people could finish speaking, they screamed immediately.

They were sucked over by Jun Wuxie from a distance.

A scarlet and crystal-clear palm, surrounded by blood energy, stretched out, and a dragon's roar echoed.

A dragon claw appeared out of thin air in front of those few people, grabbing them all in front of Jun Wuxie.

Puff!

Jun Wuxie made a ruthless move, as fast as lightning, directly gouging out all the eyeballs of those few people, and then pulled out their tongues, pierced their celestial passages, and threw them into the pond, upside down, leaving only two feet exposed.

Suddenly, it was quiet here, the entire courtyard was silent, and a pin could be heard falling.

"Let's go."

Jun Wuxie pulled Jing Ya back to his residence.

Jing Ya was shocked by his ruthless methods.

She had long felt his anger, but she didn't expect his killing intent to be so violent and intense.

If it weren't for the fact that killing people would disqualify him from entering the sect, she had no doubt that all of these people would have been killed.

"Wuxie, doing this will definitely cause trouble, Aunt Jing seems to be... ."

Jing Ya sighed. This matter was all caused by her. If it weren't for her damn appearance, those people wouldn't have come to make trouble.

"Aunt Jing, what do you want to say?" Jun Wuxie turned to look at her and said, "Is beauty your fault?

No, beauty is not a sin. Being unable to control the desires in your heart and wishful thinking are the real sins.

They deserve it. The eyes of those people are full of greed and covetousness when they look at you.

If I don't deal with them, they will definitely come to trouble you in the future."

"Aunt Jing knows, but in this way, if Qingyun Cave Heaven blames you, have you thought about how to deal with it?

There are also the families of those people, the Saint King realm cultivators, with your current strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with them."

"Yes, Aunt Jing, what you said are all very realistic problems. Although realistic problems are very important, I can't let Aunt Jing suffer because of this.

They are just the young masters of some small families, so just cripple them. They came to seek death themselves, so I have to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and deter the villains, so as to avoid any cats and dogs coming to bother you in the future."

"As for Qingyun Cave Heaven, they only said that killing people is not allowed, but they didn't say that conflicts are not allowed.

I will think of a way to deal with it, Aunt Jing don't worry."

......

At this time, by the pond, Zhou Ling, Zhou Meng, and Lin Sheng came back to their senses, their faces still a little pale.

They glanced at Jun Wuxie's residence, and the three hurriedly returned to their residences.

The scene they had just experienced gave them too strong an impact.

That Yue Wuxie was such a terrible person, not as easygoing as they thought at all.

Once you provoke him, it's simply a nightmare.

The others also dispersed. Some people who followed the several crippled young masters did not speak before and did not step forward to attack Jun Wuxie, so they escaped a disaster.

Now, these people were paralyzed on the ground, already collapsed, their bodies trembling due to intense fear, unable to exert any strength, cold sweat like rain, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

Seeing everyone leaving, they rushed to their residences, rolling and crawling, extremely embarrassed.

"Who is that person?"

In a certain house, several young cultivators were discussing in low voices, with lingering surprise on their faces.

"He's from Qingyun City, but we have never heard of such a person in Qingyun City.

Obviously, he is not from a major family. There is no such family in Qingyun City. Could he just be a rogue cultivator?"

"I don't know if I saw it wrong, but the energy he used doesn't seem to be true energy, but flesh and blood energy!"

"That's right, that's not true energy. It can basically be confirmed that he is a body cultivator!"

"I don't know if Qingyun Cave Heaven will punish him for doing such a thing today. If he can still successfully participate in the entry assessment, he will definitely become our strongest competitor tomorrow."

......

In the house where Jun Wuxie was, at his request, Jing Ya was already lying on the bed resting.

Regarding his behavior of completely treating her as a patient, Jing Ya felt helpless in her heart, but she didn't want him to worry, so she had to obey him.

Jun Wuxie himself was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the adjacent suite, absorbing the dark energy of the dark spirit powerhouse to cultivate the ink-colored star sea.

Since breaking through to the Saint realm in the Netherworld, he has not had time to cultivate the ink-colored star sea to the same level as the golden star sea, resulting in the Tai Chi star sea not being able to produce the three-fold amplification effect of Tai Chi when it is running.

Also, after breaking through to the Saint realm, he has not had time to enter the Eternal God Palace to use the Weapon Tomb to forge his body, so that the strength of his body has not reached the limit that the current realm can reach.

"What realm is the dark spirit that my cheap father-in-law gave me?"

Jun Wuxie was thinking while absorbing dark energy.

He is now in the Saint realm, but the energy of that dark spirit is still incomparably vast to him.

Currently, he can still only absorb a trace to refine it, otherwise, the vast energy it produces will make him feel unable to accommodate it.

In this way, it continued until dawn the next day.

The ink-colored star sea has grown a lot, but there is still a considerable distance from yin and yang balance.

This wasn't something that could be achieved in a day or two; he could only wait until he entered the sect to find time to continue cultivating.

He opened his eyes and walked out of the room, only to find that Aunt Jing had already woken up and was busy preparing things, even the water was ready.

“Come and wash your face. The Qingyun Grotto Heaven's steward should be arriving soon. I hope they won't make things difficult for you.”

Jing Ya hadn't slept all night, constantly worrying about this matter.

After all, this incident was too big. Dozens of people were crippled, including several young masters from various families.

These people had passed the preliminary selection assessment, so they were at least considered outer sect disciples. Those young master-level individuals could even be considered inner sect disciples, just without having completed the formal entry registration.

Would Qingyun Grotto Heaven let this go easily?

“It's okay.”

Jun Wuxie stepped forward and, as he took the towel she handed him, squeezed her hand.

Jing Ya didn't say anything more. After he finished washing, she went to get ready.

Jun Wuxie then came outside and soon saw the two stewards he had met at the entrance yesterday.

“Everyone, gather quickly and follow us to the assessment grounds.”

The two stewards' voices echoed throughout the courtyard as they walked inside.

They stopped in unison in front of the pond in the courtyard.

Both of their pupils contracted.

The people who came out of the various rooms noticed the sudden silence in the air and all stopped talking, their gazes collectively turning towards Jun Wuxie in the distance.

“Who did this?”

The corners of the two stewards' mouths twitched slightly, and their bodies trembled.

In the past, there were always conflicts in each session, and there would always be people who were seriously injured, but usually only two or three people.

But this time, it was truly unbelievable and shocked them.

“Who did this!”

Their eyes swept over everyone, filled with anger.

What did they see?

They never expected that upon arriving here early in the morning, they would see dozens of people planted upside down in the pond, with only dozens of feet exposed, and those feet were still struggling intermittently.

“I did it.”

Jun Wuxie walked towards the two stewards, his expression calm.

The two stewards instantly focused their attention on him.

The atmosphere here became somewhat stagnant.

“Who told you to do this? How dare you! Didn't your stewards in the preliminary selection tell you to try not to fight with others in the courtyard?”

“They did, but they also said that everyone is not yet formally initiated as disciples, and cannot be restrained by sect rules, so I should not have violated any sect rules.”

“You…”

The two stewards were choked and didn't know how to retort.

“Steward, can you please get them out first?”

Several people stepped forward, trembling, and glanced at Jun Wuxie with fearful eyes, then immediately looked away.

“Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pull them out!”

The two stewards were so angry that they wanted to slap those few people. Did they need to ask them for instructions to pull out a few scallions?

“But…”

Those few people looked at Jun Wuxie with some fear.

The two stewards were immediately amused and kicked those few people to the edge of the pond, saying: “Look at your pathetic appearances. Is he that scary? With us here, what are you afraid of? Hurry up and pull people out!”

“Okay!”

Those few people hurriedly ran to the pond and pulled out the people planted upside down one by one.

Those people were covered in mud, with mud all over their faces and hair.

When they pulled them out, they held them upside down and shook them vigorously in the muddy water before sending them to the shore.

The two stewards stepped forward and began to check their bodies, finding that their grotto heavens had all been shattered, and there was still a trace of blood energy left in their bodies.

This trace of blood energy made them feel weak all over, so it was difficult for them to rely on themselves to escape the mire.

Their faces gradually turned black.

As the upside-down people in the pond were continuously pulled ashore, they checked them one by one, and without exception, all of them had been crippled.

The two stewards' bodies were already trembling with anger, and their faces were as black as if they had been smeared with soot.

When they checked those young masters, their pupils shrank sharply, and the corners of their eyes twitched fiercely.

These few people were at the Saint Realm level. After entering the sect, they would directly become inner sect disciples and would definitely be able to cultivate to the late Saint Realm in the future, possessing considerable strength to contribute to the sect.

But now, they were crippled just like that, and it was no longer possible for them to cultivate.

Although their lives were spared, without eyes and tongues, their future lives would be extremely miserable.

In the past, there would also be conflicts, but they were basically small-scale incidents, and each party would be injured, but there would not be such a tragic situation.

Now, this was a group incident, and a group of people were crippled.

How would they explain to the families of these people when they came to the door?

Qingyun Grotto Heaven had great power, but it could not be ignored and had to pay attention to its reputation. After all, these people were crippled in the courtyard outside the sect, so there had to be an explanation.

“The matter is already like this.” Jun Wuxie spread his hands and said: “The rule here is that killing is not allowed, so I have not violated the rules.”

“Hmph, you still don't know you're wrong?”

“You didn't kill anyone, but your behavior is even worse than killing! Although you took advantage of a loophole in the rules, this matter will definitely not let you get away with it. Have you heard of special cases being handled specially? Follow us to the assessment grounds and wait for us to report to the sect elders. They will decide how to punish you!”

“Come with us!”

The two just flicked their sleeves and turned to leave.

“Steward, what about them?”

“Don't worry about them, we will send people to heal them!”

Immediately, everyone followed the stewards and left the courtyard.

Jun Wuxie and Jing Ya also followed behind.

Jing Ya's face was full of worry. She knew that Qingyun Grotto Heaven would not let this go easily.

After all, Jun Wuxie's methods were too drastic in doing this to warn the monkeys by killing the chicken for her sake, causing losses to Qingyun Grotto Heaven and affecting their prestige and reputation.
