Chapter 61: Displaying Divine Might (Part 1)

After teaching He Yingjian a lesson, Li Qiyi thought he would have a period of peace. However, trouble came knocking before long.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, it's bad, it's bad." While Li Qiyi was meditating in the small courtyard, Luo Fenghua and several disciples rushed in, panic-stricken.

Luo Fenghua and the other disciples looked extremely disheveled, with bruises all over their bodies, clearly indicating they had been beaten up.

Seeing their appearance, Li Qiyi frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Director Zhou has returned to Xi Shi Valley. He, he is causing trouble, and he is scolding us," another disciple added, quickly explaining the situation.

It turned out that early in the morning, Director Zhou, who no longer taught at Xi Shi Peak, suddenly returned to Xi Shi Valley. He suddenly gathered the three hundred disciples of Xi Shi Valley and began to inspect their cultivation.

Director Zhou had always been the instructor for the three hundred disciples of Xi Shi Valley. The disciples had no particular good or bad feelings about him. Usually, Director Zhou would only come to teach according to the schedule and leave hurriedly after the class ended. Apart from teaching, the disciples rarely saw him.

Moreover, Director Zhou's teaching was nothing special, and he did not pay special attention to any particular disciple. For him, teaching was just a task within the sect.

Because of this, the three hundred disciples of Xi Shi Valley had no particular good or bad feelings about Director Zhou, viewing him as an elder and an instructor.

Today, when Director Zhou suddenly came to inspect the cultivation of the three hundred disciples, at first, all the disciples thought it was nothing unusual. After all, Director Zhou had always been their instructor, and it was normal for him to test the disciples.

However, as soon as Director Zhou began inspecting the disciples, his attitude completely changed. He suddenly said one disciple's cultivation method had gone awry, another's techniques were completely deformed, and he scolded a disciple for choosing a cultivation method on their own...

The disciple who was scolded the most severely was Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu had destroyed his previous foundation and started cultivating the "Bilu Heart Method," which even made Director Zhou beat him harshly.

It wasn't just Zhang Yu who was scolded; Luo Fenghua and many other disciples who voiced objections were also severely reprimanded by Director Zhou.

The Dao principles Li Qiyi taught were far more profound and profound than those of Director Zhou, a fact unanimously acknowledged by the three hundred disciples of Xi Shi Valley. After Li Qiyi's teachings, many disciples made significant progress in their cultivation, even advancing rapidly. Even those whose cultivation had stagnated before made steady progress after Li Qiyi's guidance.

It could be said that the disciples of Xi Shi Valley were convinced of Li Qiyi's teachings, especially those with good talent like Luo Fenghua, who knew the difference.

Therefore, when Director Zhou dismissed Li Qiyi's teachings as worthless, Luo Fenghua and the others couldn't help but voice their objections, which led to them being harshly reprimanded by Director Zhou.

This outcome immediately made the intelligent Luo Fenghua and the others realize something was wrong. The previous Director Zhou had never bothered to scold them, but now he suddenly lashed out, without any reason. At this moment, Luo Fenghua and the others knew that Director Zhou was not there to inspect but to cause trouble, and his target was not them but Senior Brother Li Qiyi. They were just pawns.

So, Luo Fenghua and the others took the opportunity to sneak away and report to Li Qiyi, or perhaps Director Zhou intentionally let them go.

After hearing Luo Fenghua's account, Li Qiyi's gaze sharpened, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He and Director Zhou had no grudges, and logically, there was no reason for Director Zhou to cause trouble. Moreover, inspecting the disciples' cultivation was not his responsibility! More importantly, if the ancient Xianyan Sect and the Nine Holy Demon Sect were to form an alliance, Li Qiyi was a key figure. In the Xianyan Sect, even a regular hall master or a regular enforcer would not dare to cause trouble for him.

Now, Director Zhou suddenly jumped out to cause trouble. If there was no one backing him or a powerful supporter, he would not dare to do so even with ten lives.

"Let's go and see what kind of storm our great Director Zhou can stir up." Li Qiyi stretched and said with a smile.

Luo Fenghua and the others did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed Li Qiyi to Xi Shi Valley, with Li Shuangyan also accompanying them.

Although Li Qiyi smiled all the way, Luo Fenghua and the others were somewhat nervous. They were not stupid and could sense the internal struggle within the Xianyan Sect.

When Li Qiyi and his group arrived at Xi Shi Valley, they indeed saw Director Zhou lashing out. The disciples of Xi Shi Valley dared not speak, and many of them had minor injuries. When Li Qiyi and his group arrived, Director Zhou was still scolding the other disciples.

After Li Qiyi arrived, the other disciples all turned their eyes to him, seeking help.

"Li Qiyi, what are you teaching!" As soon as Li Qiyi arrived, Director Zhou immediately started yelling, "As a senior brother, you are teaching heretical methods to the ignorant disciples, leading them astray. What are your intentions? Such deception of the disciples is unforgivable!"

Before Li Qiyi could speak, Director Zhou immediately accused him.

"Director Zhou, what are you?" Li Qiyi, who was scolded without even a glance, slowly said, "If you know what's good for you, get lost. In my territory, it's not your place to point fingers. Who do you think you are?"

Li Qiyi's first words were the most violent and arrogant, which left Director Zhou, who was mentally prepared, stunned. He had expected Li Qiyi to refute his accusations and had prepared many arguments, determined to label Li Qiyi as a heretic. However, Li Qiyi's first words were a violent and arrogant insult.

"Ridiculous—" Director Zhou, regaining his composure, roared, "As a disciple of the Xianyan Sect, you are committing a grave offense, defying your superiors, betraying your teacher, and rebelling against the sect—"

"You talk too much—" Before Director Zhou could finish, Li Qiyi pulled out the Snake-Beating Staff and struck him fiercely.

"Unbelievable!" Seeing Li Qiyi attack, Director Zhou was enraged and roared, reaching out to grab Li Qiyi. For him, Li Qiyi's first move was the best opportunity.

At the same time, Director Zhou did not take Li Qiyi seriously, considering him just a mediocre disciple. Once he acted, he believed he could easily subdue Li Qiyi.

"Bang—Bang—Bang—" However, the result was far from what Director Zhou expected. In the blink of an eye, Director Zhou was knocked to the ground, and the Snake-Beating Staff rained down on him, leaving him bloodied and bruised.

Director Zhou's cultivation and talent were average among the thirty-six hall masters of the Xianyan Sect, and he was only at the Huagai realm.

Below the Tianyuan realm, any cultivator would only suffer under the Snake-Beating Staff.

"Ahh—" Director Zhou, a high-ranking figure, could not bear the pain of the beating and let out a惨叫. At this moment, Director Zhou looked extremely miserable, lying on the ground, curled up, covered in blood, especially his face, which was torn and bleeding from Li Qiyi's strikes.

Seeing such a domineering scene, all the disciples of Xi Shi Valley were shocked. Director Zhou was one of the thirty-six hall masters of the Xianyan Sect and a senior to the third-generation disciples!

Moreover, Director Zhou was already a Huagai realm cultivator, yet he was beaten to the ground by Li Qiyi, completely unable to resist.

At this moment, the disciples of Xi Shi Valley all shuddered. They were beaten so severely, and now it seemed they were not wronged at all. Even a high-ranking figure like Director Zhou was beaten like a dead snake!

"Hu Enforcer, save me—" Finally, Director Zhou let out a惨叫, calling for help.

"Ridiculous, what are you doing!" Just as Director Zhou called out, a loud roar echoed, and a large group of people stormed into Xi Shi Valley, coming with great momentum!

The group that suddenly rushed into Xi Shi Valley was quite large. Besides ordinary disciples, there were three hall masters, one enforcer, and He Yingjian was also among them.

This patrol and enforcement team of the Xianyan Sect suddenly appearing in Xi Shi Valley was indeed "very timely"!

Moreover, this patrol and enforcement team was extremely luxurious. Besides ordinary enforcement disciples, there were three hall masters present, led by an enforcer, and He Yingjian, the highest leader of the younger generation, was also part of the team.

If such a team discovered a disciple committing an "illegal" act and caught them on the spot with three hall masters, an enforcer, and a genius like He Yingjian, it would be an ironclad fact. No matter what "illegal" act it was, the evidence would be solid and irrefutable, and there would be no way to clear one's name!

"Enforcer, Li, Li Qiyi, he, he is defying his superiors, killing his teacher, and plotting against the sect, he, he, he is rebelling against the sect, betraying his teacher and ancestors…" At this moment, the bloodied Director Zhou lying on the ground cried out.

Seeing this scene, although Luo Fenghua and the others were young, they were not stupid, especially the intelligent Luo Fenghua and the others, who quickly understood the situation.

Suddenly, Luo Fenghua and the others were all chilled to the bone, cold sweat pouring down their faces. Now, with Director Zhou lying in a pool of blood and Li Qiyi caught in the act by Hu Enforcer and his enforcement team…
