Even Li Chuanghai would tremble at the sight of the Deputy Hall Master, Wan.

He was indeed one of the top-ranking officials.

While the Nascent Soul Realm ancestors did not concern themselves with daily affairs, the Deputy Hall Master, Wan, could decide many matters, even the Sect Leader Venerable was dependent on him.

Such an important figure, no matter how arrogant Li Chuanghai was, he would not dare to contradict him!

His heart was filled with rage; this time, he was truly screwed by Li Yunjing!

But this rage, even in the presence of the Deputy Hall Master, Wan, he had to forcibly suppress it.

"Hmph! You have cultivated to the Ninth Heaven of the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet you’re still so impulsive. Where is your composure? Where is your Dao practice?"

"Do you still resemble a cultivator of the Profound Sect?"

The Deputy Hall Master, Wan, seeing him still trying to argue, shook his head in disappointment and sternly reprimanded Li Chuanghai.

Yu Yuanhua somewhat feared Li Chuanghai, but the Deputy Hall Master, Wan, had no such worries.

Not just Li Chuanghai, even if one of the top ten True Disciples made a mistake, he would dare to severely scold them!

In terms of strength and status, the Deputy Hall Master, Wan, could command the scene.

"Disciple is at fault!"

Li Chuanghai blushed, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake.

"Good! Since you admitted your mistake! Then mistakes must be punished. I now announce that Li Chuanghai has been punished for his calculated actions and for fighting with his fellow disciples, breaking the sect rules. He is to serve in Youyue Country for ten years, and during this time, he must kill ten True Disciples of the Netherworld Ghost Sect. If he fails, the penalty will be increased!"

The Deputy Hall Master, Wan, coldly announced the punishment.

"Yes! Disciple accepts the punishment!"

Li Chuanghai’s face was full of bitterness.

The Deputy Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall had the power of life and death.

In a major Immortal Dao sect like the Shenxiao Dao Sect, the rules were extremely strict. At the level of True Disciples, the Law Enforcement Hall’s words were the law, the divine order, and no one could defy them!

With the order given by the Deputy Hall Master, the case would be relayed to the Sect Leader Venerable for procedural purposes, who would surely not undermine the Deputy Hall Master’s authority.

Li Chuanghai did not have enough clout with the Sect Leader Venerable to have the latter overturn the Deputy Hall Master’s decision for his sake.

That is to say, the matter was decided, and Li Chuanghai could go back and wait for the official punishment order from the sect.

Li Chuanghai felt unbearable anguish. Going to the frontlines was not the problem!

Ten years of time would pass in a flash, and it did not seem like a big issue!

However, having to kill ten True Disciples of the Netherworld Ghost Sect was the real killer!

Just like the Shenxiao Dao Sect, the True Disciples of the Netherworld Ghost Sect were also few and far between, and each was considered precious beyond measure.

Continuously killing ten True Disciples of the Netherworld Ghost Sect, Li Chuanghai would surely become a mortal enemy in their eyes!

How could such a task be so easily accomplished?

Li Chuanghai even doubted if he could return alive after ten years!

The level of danger was simply too high!

Seemingly seeing through Li Chuanghai’s despair, the Deputy Hall Master, Wan, became even more disappointed and said in a deep voice, "Rules are dead, but people are alive. If you have any wit at all, it’s not impossible to complete the task. Go now! Wait for the official punishment order!"

"Yes!"

Li Chuanghai sneered inwardly, "Easy for you to say! Are the True Disciples of the Netherworld Ghost Sect just wooden figures waiting to be killed! With a word from these bigwigs, those below have to risk their lives!"

To the Deputy Hall Master, Wan, and Yu Yuanhua, Li Chuanghai could only harbor anger but could not speak out. However, he would not forget this hatred, and the main culprit, Li Yunjing, was firmly imprinted in his mind.

After Li Chuanghai received his punishment and left the Law Enforcement Hall, the Deputy Hall Master, Wan, looked around at the others and asked if there were any further issues. If not, the meeting would be adjourned.

At this moment, a lean Daoist coldly spoke. His hoarse voice resounded, "Li Chuanghai’s matter is settled! But there’s still another person, yet to be dealt with!"

With these words, the elders in the hall were stirred, and some even glanced at Yu Yuanhua.

Yu Yuanhua’s heart skipped a beat; he already knew what the other party was thinking.

"Speak plainly, Elder Xu. If you have something to say, just say it!"

The Deputy Hall Master, Wan, frowned slightly and asked.

"Although Li Yunjing is not the main culprit, he did engage in an internal conflict with Li Chuanghai in front of everyone. This thing brought shame to the Shenxiao Dao Sect. If we do not punish him, later on, other disciples in the sect might follow their example, and won’t the sect become a mess?"

The lean Elder Xu said coldly.

He seemed completely unwilling to save face for Li Yunjing.

At these words, some elders nodded in agreement.

Even Yu Yuanhua could not find any argument. He too had a mind to teach Li Yunjing a lesson.

Of course, the punishment shouldn’t be too severe, as Yu Yuanhua knew that Li Yunjing’s background was significant, and offending him would cause no small amount of trouble.

"Hmm! Elder Yu, what do you suggest as the appropriate action?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The Deputy Hall Master, Wan, was also a wise man, having long known the role Yu Yuanhua played in this matter.

Since Li Yunjing was closely associated with him, it would be best if Yu Yuanhua bore the burden of being the bad guy.

"Although Li Yunjing is at fault, it was under duress. I think he should be exiled on a mission for at least three to five years, giving him a chance to reflect on his actions."

Yu Yuanhua sighed and had to speak.

This was the limit of what Yu Yuanhua could do in this situation.

"Hmm! Having previously clashed with the Laws Association and being detained in the Divine Prison, and now involved in an internal conflict shortly after release, I heard that he even plans to settle scores with a True Disciple at the Enmity Platform?"
