The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Looking at these unpredictable eyes, Li Qing instinctively felt a great danger.

This person could put him in mortal danger at any time.

Under the leadership of Elder Zheng, Li Qing sat in the lower left position.

Li Qing observed the etiquette, slightly bowed to the Master, and said, "Greetings, Master!"

The Master waved his hand lightly, "Please, have a seat!"

Li Qing sat down as instructed, while Elder Zheng stood beside the Master, with a serious expression, showing no emotion.

The Master slowly said, "Zheng Bowen, you mentioned an incident involving Zhou Suhua, please proceed."

Elder Zheng stepped forward, calmly stating, "Zhou Suhua, your son Zhou Xinglong committed an act against the rules of the academy last night."

"He used prohibited items in the burial mound to create a Hundred Corpse Monster."

"As a student of the academy, creating such a dangerous and bizarre creature seriously violates the rules of the academy."

"Furthermore, I now suspect that he intended to kill the academy's wandering guardian, Li Wushuang."

"Because yesterday, Li Wushuang took on a task to clean up the burial mound, and in the evening, your son went to create the Hundred Corpse Monster. This is too much of a coincidence, with malicious intent, and such a crime cannot be tolerated."

"I have personally investigated this matter, and I have recorded the entire process with a crystal-like disc."

After speaking, he produced a crystal-like disc in his hand.

He slightly raised the disc and infused it with a force.

The disc emitted an illusory light, revealing the scene of the burial mound inside.

Elder Zheng appeared in it, holding a blue ruler, and approached a grave.

The scene was still at dawn, and a brilliant blue light burst from the ruler, instantly engulfing the entire grave.

The Hundred Corpse Monster under the grave was attacked and instantly rushed out.

It was an extremely disgusting monster, covered with decayed limbs, with a size of about thirty feet, a huge creature sweeping over.

But in the next moment, the ruler emitted a blue flame, creating a three-foot radius of flames, completely engulfing the monster.

In just a few breaths, it burned it to ashes, leaving behind only a fist-sized, milky-white Essence Qi stone.

"The Essence Qi stone in my hand can prove that this is a Hundred Corpse Monster."

"Like father, like son, do you have anything to say?"

Zhou Suhua narrowed his eyes, "Isn't it normal for there to be Hundred Corpse Monsters in the burial mound? Why do you say it was my son who did it?"

"Do you have evidence?"

Elder Zheng remained calm, with a faint coldness in his eyes, "Naturally, I have evidence."

As he spoke, he produced a black incense in his hand.

"This is the Karma Tracing Incense. As long as I light it and use its power along with this Essence Qi stone, I can trace the person related to this Essence Qi stone."

"This Hundred Corpse Monster has just been formed, so it's not difficult to trace the person who created it."

Zhou Suhua's pupils contracted when he saw the Karma Tracing Incense, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes.

"Very well, if it is indeed my son, I will not hesitate to give him severe punishment."

"Since I, as a member of the Jixia Academy, represent the orthodox tradition, no one can violate the rules here."

Zhou Suhua said decisively, exuding a fierce killing intent.

As if, if his son had really done such a thing, he would not hesitate to kill him.

Li Qing silently watched, not saying a word from beginning to end.

Elder Zheng had said that everything was entrusted to him.

Elder Zheng produced a small tripod in his hand, placed it on the ground, and inserted the Karma Tracing Incense.

A faint gray smoke slowly drifted out, and Elder Zheng formed a strange seal in his hand, chanting a mysterious spell.

A mysterious force enveloped the gray smoke.

"Find the person who created the Hundred Corpse Monster."

The smoke slowly drifted towards Elder Zheng, and a fist-sized Essence Qi stone appeared in his hand.

The smoke lightly enveloped the Essence Qi stone, then drifted into the distance.

The few people did not leave, but they exuded a mysterious power, a power that startled Li Qing.

As if a cold water swept through him, this power made his scalp tingle, as if everything about him was transparent to others.

Li Qing remained calm, feeling a malicious intent directed at him.

His heart skipped a beat, "It seems that the Zhou family must have murderous intent towards me because of the wandering guardian."

"I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now it seems that I must find a way to resolve this trouble."

His eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

At this moment, the gray smoke quietly drifted and entered the academy, silently enveloping a person.

This person was none other than Zhou Xinglong, who was completely unaware of the gray smoke.

In the Master's small building, Zhou Suhua, with an angry expression, stood up and said to the Master, "Master, my son has committed a grave mistake."

"Please directly revoke his status as a student of the academy, and I will take him back for strict discipline."

After speaking, he turned to Li Qing, "Guardian Li, I have failed to educate my son, causing trouble for you."

"I am willing to offer a treasure in exchange for your forgiveness."

With a wave of his hand, a blue jade box appeared in his hand.

He opened the box, revealing a piece of pure golden metal inside.

"This is a ten-jin Law Gold - Xuanjin Divine Iron."

"It is a material that can be used to refine a Law Treasure, worth at least 200 high-grade Essence Qi stones."

"I offer this as compensation, hoping to gain your forgiveness."

"Master, what do you think of this compensation?"

The Master's gaze looked towards Li Qing with indifference, "According to the rules of the academy."

"Anyone who creates a True Law Realm creature, if done with ill intent, will be expelled from the academy."

"Furthermore, it will be publicly announced that no academy will ever accept them."

Li Qing understood the implication of these words.

He knew that this matter could not be further escalated, as it did not cause a major accident. Even if the other party had malicious intent, at most, they could only revoke the student's status and tarnish their reputation.

"In other words, the academy cannot kill Zhou Xinglong for this reason."

"After all, this is just an academy, equivalent to a joint institution, and does not have the authority to execute a disciple of a Dao tradition."

Realizing that nothing could be done, Li Qing smiled faintly and said straightforwardly, "Very well."

"Mr. Zhou's apology is accepted, but I hope there will not be a next time."

Zhou Suhua's expression turned serious, "Guardian Li, rest assured, there will be no second time."

"I will discipline him strictly."

Li Qing nodded slightly and silently accepted the Xuanjin Divine Iron.

However, he knew that this matter was not over. "I must quickly advance to the Human Tribulation realm."

"The Zhou family will not let this go, and their cultivation is probably already beyond the True Law Realm. This is quite troublesome."
