Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 857 - 412: Iceberg Palace

Li Yunjing let out a sigh of relief, closed the jade box, and carefully stored it in the "Storage Ring."

This box was also a reward from the Master of Fiery Fire, used to collect Spiritual Objects.

"The mission is half complete, now we just need to leave here safely."

Li Yunjing turned to Zhao Qi and said.

Zhao Qi nodded, but there was a hint of worry on her face: "Husband, the commotion earlier was quite loud, I’m afraid it has drawn others’ attention. If anyone finds out you killed so many from the Celestial Net Dao Sect, we’ll be in trouble! We need to leave here quickly."

Li Yunjing chuckled, his tone carrying a trace of confidence: "Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared for that. However, I might need your help in putting on a show next."

Zhao Qi was taken aback and asked in confusion: "A show? What do you mean?"

Li Yunjing didn’t answer directly but took out a Talisman from the "Storage Ring" and handed it to Zhao Qi: "This is an ’Illusion Talisman’, which can temporarily change your appearance and aura. If someone stops us later, just pretend to be my follower and don’t speak much."

Zhao Qi took the Talisman, still puzzled but nodded: "I understand."

The two quickly left the stone chamber, retracing their steps back.

Sure enough, after they had walked a little further, a cacophony of footsteps echoed ahead.

Li Yunjing’s eyes narrowed, and he whispered, "They’re here."

Soon, a group of cultivators in black robes appeared before them.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a sinister look. He coldly glanced at Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi, and asked with a hostile tone: "Were you two the ones causing all that noise earlier? Would you mind sharing your gains?"

Li Yunjing remained calm and said flatly: "You’re mistaken, fellow Daoist. We were just passing through and found nothing of value."

The middle-aged man sneered: "Passing through? This place isn’t somewhere just anyone can come. If you know what’s good for you, hand over what you have. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite!"

This person wasn’t sure, just trying to intimidate Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi. If they showed any weakness, he would kill them immediately and seize the treasure!

As for the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" people?

In this middle-aged man’s view, those old rivals were definitely still deep within the volcano!

He brought his group here because they caught wind of plans and aimed to disrupt the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" plan!

Anything the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" wanted to do, they at the "Profound Sect" aimed to sabotage!

This tension was even evident across the East Sea!

The Profound Sect and the Demon Sect were adversaries, often clashing in conflict!

Upon seeing this situation, Li Yunjing immediately understood what was going on.

He wasn’t particularly worried, as Zhao Qi, being famous in the East Sea, was now in disguise, unrecognizable to outsiders.

Li Yunjing himself was a stranger here.

In this unfamiliar place, Li Yunjing didn’t recognize others, and naturally, they didn’t recognize him.

Seeking revenge against him?

They’d better have the courage to confront him at the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Facing these demonic cultivators, there was no room for retreat!

The more fear one showed, the more arrogant these demons became!

Only by suppressing the arrogance of these demons, could proper discourse be had!

In Li Yunjing’s opinion, demonic cultivators were just waiting for a beating!

Beating them until they begged for mercy was the solution!

Thinking of this, a glimmer of coldness flashed in Li Yunjing’s eyes, but his tone remained calm: "Why be so aggressive, fellow Daoist? Truly, we have nothing to show for."

The middle-aged man clearly didn’t believe him, waving his hand as several black-robed cultivators immediately surrounded Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi.

Li Yunjing sighed, appearing somewhat helpless: "Since you don’t believe me, it seems we’ll have to settle this with strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, he abruptly activated his mana, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword" in his hand instantly unsheathed, its brilliance like a rainbow, aiming straight for the middle-aged man’s throat.

"You dare to strike first, boy?"

The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically, hurriedly summoning a black Shield in front of him.

"Crack!"

With just one strike, the man’s Top Grade Spiritual Artifact Shield was shattered into two pieces!

"How is this possible? Is that a Treasure Artifact in your hand?"

The middle-aged man was forced to retreat repeatedly, his face pale.

He hadn’t expected Li Yunjing to possess such formidable strength, and regret surged within him.

If he’d known this lad was so formidable, he wouldn’t have provoked him.

Picking the wrong target, hoping to escape, wasn’t so easy?

Li Yunjing gave him no chance, swinging the "Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword" again, slicing through the nearby black-robed cultivators.

"We’ve run into a tough one!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man was terrified, trying to turn and flee.

Li Yunjing sneered, swinging his sword sharply, a Sword Qi severing the middle-aged man’s escape route in an instant.

He coldly remarked: "Little demon! You intend to leave?"

"I’m a disciple of the ’Profound Sect’!"

The middle-aged man’s face was ashen, gritting his teeth: "Spare me, fellow Daoist! We’re just here to trouble the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’, not to be enemies with you!"

"Hm? An enemy of the Celestial Net Dao Sect?"

Li Yunjing’s eyes lit up, a plan forming.

Perfect! With so many from the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" dead below, these "Profound Sect" people arriving made excellent scapegoats!

As for why there would be a field of "Profound Sect" bodies and none of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect’s"? That was for the higher-ups in the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" to figure out.

"Anyone from the ’Profound Sect’ has to die! Who dares target someone from the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’? None of them can live!"

Li Yunjing delivered another fierce declaration, the "Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword" in his hand thrust forward, piercing the middle-aged man’s throat, blood gushing forth.
