Chapter 91

"Master Song is amazing!"

"Master Song is mighty!"

"Master Song"

Seeing Li Chen roll over and spit out blood, the four mountain guards hurriedly gathered around Song Gongluo, their flattery never ceasing.

"Humph!"

Song Gongluo's face turned sour as he looked at Li Chen and said, "Do you yield?"

"Cough, cough, no!"

Li Chen struggled to prop himself up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Song Gongluo with clear, unclouded eyes, devoid of any hatred.

"Hmph, send him to the Repentance Cliff!"

Song Gongluo coldly snorted and swept away.

"Master Song, rest assured, we will take good care of Junior Brother Li!"

Zhou Zhanjiang called out insincerely.

The four, who were thinking about how to deal with Li Chen, did not notice that Song Gongluo's gait was slightly unnatural as he walked away, with a few threads of his originally white-gold trousers torn.

"Hehe, please, Junior Brother Li!"

Seeing Song Gongluo walk away, Zhou Zhanjiang sneered with ill intent.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you are injured, you don't have to go. I'll take care of it!"

Senior Brother Chen hesitated for a moment and stopped him.

"Senior Brother Chen, this minor injury is nothing. Besides, my elder brother is in charge of the Repentance Cliff. It's best to inform him to take good care of Junior Brother Li!"

Zhou Zhanjiang raised his bandaged arm and gave Senior Brother Chen a deep look.

"Yes, Senior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Li is a genius of the sect. If he goes to the Repentance Cliff and still doesn't understand the rules, and offends the elders, it won't be good!"

The other two chimed in.

"Alright!"

Senior Brother Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, and he nodded in agreement.

Li Chen watched closely. Having grown up among servants, if he couldn't see through this, all the hardships he had endured would be for nothing.

But with his high skills, he was bold. He was worried about not having a quiet place to practice martial arts. It seemed impossible to find Qiu Qianyi and Zhang Chulong now. Since that was the case, he might as well go to the Repentance Cliff for seclusion.

Under the escort of the four, they headed towards a solitary cliff on the backside of the main peak.

The Xuan Yun Sect had four outer peaks in the east, south, west, and north, and an inner main peak. However, in the northeast corner of the main peak, there was another towering peak, about a thousand feet high.

Legend had it that this peak was split from the main peak of Xuan Yun by the founder when he established the sect, in a battle with a powerful enemy.

For countless years, one side of this peak was as smooth as a mirror, hardened by the powerful sword qi of that time.

This solitary peak became the burial ground for the generations of strongmen of the Xuan Yun Sect, and opposite it was the Repentance Cliff.

In the Xuan Yun Sect, disciples from the other four peaks would only be sent to the Repentance Cliff if they committed a major offense, after being punished by the disciplinary hall of their respective peaks, unless summoned by the main peak.

"Brother, this is the disciple Li Chen, sent by Senior Brother Song!"

On the dark cliff behind the main peak, in a building, Zhou Zhanjiang gave a signal to a burly man inside.

"Sent by Senior Brother Song?"

The man's eyebrows raised, his eyes like copper bells scanning Li Chen, and he sneered coldly, "What did you do, kid?"

"He, relying on his status as a sect genius, forcibly entered the main peak and was caught and taught a lesson by Senior Brother Song!"

Zhou Zhanjiang said with a smug smile.

"So, he's just a brat who doesn't know his place. Send him to—"

The man's eyes flashed with disdain, and he waved his hand.

"Brother, send him to the third level. This kid offended Senior Brother Song!"

Zhou Zhanjiang quickly gave him a signal.

"Come, search him and send him to the third level, lock him up for a month!"

The man understood and shouted at a thin, middle-aged man beside him.

Senior Brother Chen, standing to the side, frowned but said nothing.

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhou!"

The thin, middle-aged man, with a gaunt face and a withered, yellowish complexion, approached Li Chen and reached into his chest.

Slap!

Li Chen slapped away the withered hand. He could be sent to the Repentance Cliff, but he couldn't hand over his belongings. All the good things he had collected were in his storage bag. Who knew if it would still be there when he came back?

"Bold, coming to my place and still acting tough. Do you want me to cut your tendons and make you a cripple for life?"

The man, with sharp eyes, jumped up in a rage and slapped at Li Chen with his large hand.

"Brother, Brother, calm down. Junior Brother Li is young and doesn't know better. You, a grown man, should not hold a grudge against a child. Let him off this time!"

Zhou Zhanjiang quickly intervened, giving him signals.

"Hmph, for the sake of my second brother, I'll let you off this time. Get out!"

The man coldly snorted and sat back down in a huff.

The thin, middle-aged man silently led Li Chen out of the room and headed straight for a bamboo basket nearby.

"Hehe, Brother, was it worth it? In a month, everything this kid has will be yours!"

Zhou Zhanjiang sneered.

"Spit, would I covet the belongings of an inner disciple? A mere inner disciple, what good things could he have?"

The man spat and said disdainfully.

"Of course, I know Brother doesn't care, but this kid is different. He's a genius from Nanyun Peak, a True Cultivation Realm martial artist at just fifteen years old. Tsk, tsk!"

Zhou Zhanjiang's mouth was full of saliva, his face full of pride, as if Li Chen, the genius, was already dead in his plan.

"What? Say that again!"

The man suddenly jumped up and grabbed Zhou Zhanjiang's shoulder, shouting.

"Brother, it hurts, it hurts! This kid is a genius, but will he survive after going to the third level of the Repentance Cliff?"

Zhou Zhanjiang, pale-faced, struggled free from the man's hand.

Hearing this, the man rushed out of the room and ran to the cliff edge.

But in the mist, he only heard a series of clear, tinkling sounds and the creaking of iron chains, with no sign of anyone.

"Damn it, Jiang Mushi, you dropped him down here!"

The man shouted into the mist.

But the only response was the eerie creaking of the iron chains, nothing else.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Seeing the man jumping around, Zhou Zhanjiang and the others, who had followed, asked in confusion.

"Damn it, if I had known, I would have let him go up and humiliated him. I've been here for three years and almost forgotten what a woman tastes like. Besides, he's a genius!"

The man jumped around, his face full of regret, which turned into lechery.

"Tsk, Brother, you're wrong. If you saw his face, you probably wouldn't even have an appetite!"

Zhou Zhanjiang, oblivious to the change in Senior Brother Chen and the others' expressions, who quickly retreated, a hint of disgust flashing in their eyes.

"What? I didn't see clearly in the rush. Isn't he smooth-skinned and tender?"

The man rolled his eyes, thinking that such a genius would naturally be protected by many elders.

But since he had offended Senior Brother Song and was sent here, there was no need to hold back.

"That kid has an ugly birthmark on his face. But, Brother, you need to control your temper. Why are you getting more and more irritable?"

Zhou Zhanjiang rolled his eyes, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Bullshit, who doesn't know that guarding the Repentance Cliff for a long time will be affected by the evil qi here? Do you think I want to stay here?"

The man raged.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhou Zhanjiang nodded repeatedly, quickly giving the other three a signal and hurriedly left.
