Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 601  Punishment

"You're really careless."

Leng Yueyan, who had just opened her eyes, was startled to hear Ye Xiaoling's voice. "Did something happen?"

"Li Jingyun wanted to use a Gu insect on you, but I noticed it and destroyed it." Ye Xiaoling intentionally uttered those words, understanding that Xiao Shijian wished to keep her presence hidden from others. "You don't need to think about the Gu clan person, because I have already killed him."

*Boom*

Instantaneously, Leng Yueyan's aura exploded, and her expression was filled with the urge to kill Li Jingyun, but Yu Xiaoling directly suppressed her. "I know you are angry with him, but I want you to restrain yourself for now."

"Why did you forbid me to kill him?"

"I can't tell you the truth, but someone wants Long Wang to take care of Li Jingyun, especially since he still needs a lot of experience."

"Long Wang?" That was really surprising to Leng Yueyan. "Is he back now?"

"Long Wang came back a few hours ago, but he's with Qin Li now." Ye Xiaoling immediately stood up from her seat. "Since you're safe now, I'll go back to Misty Peak."

"Wait a minute, Sister Xiaoling." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Do you still have questions for me?"

"Yes." Leng Yueyan got out of bed and walked to the side of the window, looking at Huxin Xiaozhu. "I believe that Li Jingyun wouldn't dare to have a relationship with people from that heretic clan openly, so I think there's someone else who connected him with them."

"Hua Gaoyun." Leng Yueyan abruptly turned her head toward Yu Xiaoling. "He is staying in the city right now, and he came here to take Xue Xueyan home by force, but he didn't dare enter the sect, so he contacted your partner to help him. In return, Li Jingyun asked for his help to control you, so he contacted the person from the Gu Clan. Unfortunately, he was too naive because they didn't plan to hand you over to him, and they wanted to use you as their cultivation furnace. Anyway, you don't need to do anything to him either, and Long Wang will take care of the two of them."

After that, Ye Xiaoling disappeared from the room, and Leng Yueyan observed Chen Li's residence again. "Why do I feel that Sister Xiaoling treats you differently, Long Wang? Every time she mentions your name, I feel like she has such deep respect for you, and the two of you must have known each other before."

Following that, Leng Yuelan sent a voice message to Yan Qingcheng, instructing her to monitor Li Jingyun as well.

Li Jingyun, still unaware that Xiao Shijian had thwarted his plan, appeared extremely excited in his room. However, he suddenly received a voice transmission from Hua Gaoyu, who told him that Gu Tingyun had suddenly disappeared. "Did that person get scared and run away? People from the Gu Clan, I've heard, are not afraid of death and would even commit suicide if caught by others, so it was impossible for him to run away just to face Yueyan."

Li Jingyun immediately left his room and went to see Hua Gaoyun, but Yan Qingcheng trailed him from a distance. 'This bastard! How dare he come up with the idea to do such a thing to my original body?! Even though I can't kill you, I can still teach you a lesson.'

Sometime later, they arrived at the inn, and Yan Qingcheng immediately disguised herself as one of the servants, especially since Hua Gaoyun ordered several jugs of wine. She then took some pink pills, crushed them into powder, and mixed them with the wine. 'Back then, my master gave these pills to me, but I never thought about using them, especially since their effects were too strong and strange. Regrettably, both of you possess malevolent intentions toward my original body; therefore, I shall employ them against you both, much to your delight.'

"Hmm?" Hua Gaoyun smiled lustfully as soon as Yan Qingcheng entered his room to send the wine, and he immediately pulled her onto his lap while hugging her waist. "Hey, how about you accompany the two of us? I'll reward you handsomely if you can satisfy the two of us, and it would definitely be very beneficial for a servant like you."

"I'm sorry, sir." Yan Qingcheng spoke as she tried to stand up, but Hua Gaoyun hugged her tighter. "Please let me go, sir. The owner of this inn doesn't allow us to do such things with guests, so he will fire me if he finds out."

"All right, you don't need to force her, Gaoyun." Li Jingyun immediately stopped him. "The owner of this inn is not just anyone, and he comes from one of the clans in Holy Moon City, so you better not cause trouble with the servants of this inn."

Hearing that, Hua Gaoyun immediately let go of Yan Qingcheng, as he was not that crazy to challenge the cultivators from the Holy Moon City, especially since all of them were powerful. "At least you can accompany us for a drink, right?"

"Yes." Yan Qingcheng answered with a nod and started pouring the wine into their cups, but she continued laughing in her heart because the two men were unaware of her actions. 'Hehe, you guys can have fun now, and I want to see the expressions of both of you when you wake up.'

In an underground chamber, a middle-aged man stood staggered with his hands chained to the ceiling, and their cultivation was also sealed. Behind him, another man continued to whip his back with a spiked whip, causing his agonizing groans to reverberate in the ears of several people who witnessed his punishment, and his blood continued to flow out from his back.

*Crack... Crack...*

"Hiss!"

The faces of the two old men kneeling at the side of the room turned deathly pale watching that, especially since they would be serving the same punishment soon. 'Damn it! If only we had not answered Jinyuan's summons, we would definitely not have suffered such a terrible fate! That woman gave us poison, and we still have to face punishment from the patriarch!'

They were none other than the three elders of the Huang Clan: Huang Jinyuan, Huang Gai, and Huang Fu.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiaohai, who was kneeling beside the two men, felt confused and horrified at the same time, especially since he remembered that they were still in the eastern region before. However, he was already in his clan when he woke up from his sleep, and they were also facing trial from his clan members. 'Crap! What actually happened to us? Why is the patriarch punishing us like this?'

Huang Mei, who was standing behind Huang Shuang'er and several others, felt relieved that Bai Lanhua helped her escape that punishment, or else she would have suffered the same fate as them. However, she kept wondering about the identities of Chen Li and Feng Xian'er, especially since she was unwilling to tell her about their identities. 'Who exactly are those two people? They were still too young and lived in another region, but the ruler seemed to know them very well, and she also seemed to have great respect for both of them.'

Suddenly, an old man, who was none other than the patriarch of the Huang Clan, asked Huang Shuang'er. "Anyways, who exactly are the two people from the eastern region targeted by Jinyuan? Do they have such a special status that you decided to punish him like this?"

"Yes, Father." Huang Shuang'er responded to her father's question with a nod. "The Huo Clan is indeed one of the big clans in this realm, but I don't think much of them. However, the two people targeted by Huang Jinyuan are different from them; even Big Sis Lanhua respects them a lot, so I was forced to punish him like this. "

"Hmm?" The old man was called Huang Shitian, and he turned to her in surprise. "What are their names? How does our ruler know them?"

"They are a husband and wife, Long Wang and Feng Xian'er." Huang Shitian frowned, not recognizing their two clans, and Huang Shuang'er told him again. "According to Big Sis Lanhua, the two of them came from another realm, so it's natural that you don't know their clans. However, I don't know for sure how she knows them, and she really respects them."

"Does that mean they have a good relationship with the Huo Clan?"

Huang Shuang'er responded with a nod. "According to Huang Mei, Huo Qingya is Long Wang's future wife, so their relationship must be very good. Besides, Big Sis Lanhua once told me that he has a good relationship with the Di, Yun, Qin, and Yang Clans, so we can't underestimate him and the people around him."

"Oh?" Huang Shitian was even more shocked after hearing his daughter's answer. "I didn't expect that there would be a cultivator who had good relations with almost all the clans in those two regions; no wonder our ruler respects him. I'm very curious about that man named Long Wang, and I hope he will come to our city one day, so I can get to know him."

"Yeah." Like her father, Huang Shuang'er herself was also curious about Chen Li and Feng Xian'er, but she couldn't leave Bai Lanhua's side.
