The next morning, Li Zhiming and Mingzhu left Xuyuan Prison and came to the ground under the escort of Elder Wang.

Li Zhiming took a long breath. The air here was still fresh.

Looking at the vast sky and the dense jungle around him, he felt a sense of freedom as if the sky was high and the birds were flying freely.

"Congratulations, kid. You have successfully cleared your name. From today on, you no longer have to stay in this dark prison. Go back to the inner sect. That is where you can display your talent."

Elder Wang waved his hand and bid farewell to Li Zhiming.

"Thank you Elder Wang for your care these days. When I have time in the future, I will definitely bring good wine and food to visit you and Elder Qin and other elders." Li Zhiming bowed.

After registering at the Affairs Pavilion, Li Zhiming and Mingzhu left the range of the Xuyuan formation.

Now, it can be said that the sky is high and the birds fly freely.

"I haven't come out for a long time, junior brother, thank you." Mingzhu said with a smile.

"Thank me for what?"

"If it weren't for the Yinsha Pill you gave me, how could I leave Xuyuan Prison at will?" Mingzhu said with a smile.

"Sister, there's no need to say thank you to me anymore. When we return to the inner sect, you and I will be fellow sisters and brothers. Saying thank you will seem too formal." Li Zhiming waved his hand.

"I haven't been to the inner sect yet. Which direction is it?" Mingzhu asked.

"East."

Li Zhiming jumped up and stood on the top of a huge tree.

He looked towards the east and saw mountains stretching out like waves in the blue sea, with misty clouds and fog, like a fairyland.

The hazy mountain outline in the east is the location of the inner sect of Zhenyuan Sect, which is separated by several hills and hundreds of miles away.

"Junior brother, how do we get to the inner sect?"

"There are dozens of sects' strongholds along the way. Each stronghold has a post station where you can rent a carriage or a flying spirit beast." Li Zhiming replied.

"I see. Then let's go to the nearest post station and rent a flying spirit beast."

"Flying spirit beasts are very expensive. They cost ten low-grade spirit stones."

"It's only ten dollars. Senior sister can afford it." Mingzhu said arrogantly.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in the sky.

Li Zhiming looked up and saw another light spot in the distance becoming clearer and clearer. After dozens of breaths, a huge figure stopped above his head.

Whoosh whoosh~!

A bird with its beak locked in an iron cage was hovering in the air, flapping its huge wings.

When the wings flapped, fierce air currents were stirred up, making the surrounding trees rustle.

"Li Zhiming!"

On it stood a handsome young man in a green robe with an imposing manner.

The boy has a long ponytail, sharp features and is quite handsome.

"Qin Chuan!"

Li Zhiming smiled when he saw the young man standing on the back of the iron-winged eagle.

Qin Chuan, his fellow senior fellow student, is also his best friend and good brother.

After he was imprisoned in Xuyuan Prison, he often sent messages to himself and asked others to take care of him.

Qin Chuan jumped down, landed in front of Li Zhiming, and patted him on the shoulder.

"I heard about your experience in Xuyuan Prison. You did a good job and were appreciated by the elders. I couldn't see through your current realm. I didn't expect that the Punishment Hall destroyed your cultivation, but you cultivated back in just three months."

"Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!"

Qin Chuan examined Li Zhiming's body and looked excited.

“It was just a fluke.”

"It's good that you're okay. It's good that you're out."

"I never expected that Junior Brother Peng, who stood up and accused you, actually changed his testimony some time ago, saying that he deliberately hid the demonic skills and forged letters in your room because he was jealous of you."

"The Elder Qin you met in Xuyuan Prison is really powerful!" Qin Chuan gave a thumbs up.

"It's a pity that Peng Li was only fined half a year's salary by the Penalty Hall and his status was reduced to a registered disciple of Qingluan Peak. This vicious villain should be imprisoned in Xuyuan Prison and let him suffer!"

Qin Chuan clenched his fists, with some anger in his voice.

“…”

Li Zhiming touched his chin.

As I guessed, Elder Qin played a certain role in my being able to come out this time.

But the ones who fanned the flames were the couple Qi Yang and Tian Yaoyao.

Otherwise, how could Peng Li's punishment be so light?

These two sons of bitches deliberately released themselves back to the inner sect.

"And that damn Qi Yang, he actually became the direct disciple of the Punishment Hall. I found out about his background, and it turns out that the commander-in-chief of the Punishment Hall is his uncle!"

"And that Tian Yaoyao, I told you a long time ago that she has ulterior motives..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about her. It's unlucky."

Qin Chuan stopped talking quickly. He controlled his temper to avoid exposing Li Zhiming's scars.

"I have already let it go. Qi Yang and Tian Yaoyao, that couple, I will make them pay the price sooner or later!" Li Zhiming replied coldly.

"As for you, don't be too impulsive."

"Qi Yang knows that you and I have a close relationship. He may vent his anger on you in the future. You have to be careful in the future." Li Zhiming reminded.

"Don't worry, it's not that easy to trick me." Qin Chuan crossed his arms, his tone very confident.

"By the way, who is this beauty?" Qin Chuan looked at Mingzhu.

"I almost forgot to introduce this. This is my good friend that I met in Xuyuan Prison, Senior Sister Mingzhu. Due to some reasons, she can only stay in the dark Xuyuan Prison. Now the problem has been solved. Elder Qin asked me to take her to the inner sect and let her join our Qingluan Peak."

Li Zhiming explained.

"I see. My name is Qin Chuan. We'll be fellow disciples from now on. If you have any problems at Qingluan Peak, feel free to come to me."

Qin Chuan bowed and spoke in a generous tone.

"Sure." Mingzhu bowed in return, her tone becoming colder, completely different from when she was talking to Li Zhiming.

"I came here today specifically to welcome you. I also rented a very fast iron-winged eagle, which cost me twenty spirit stones." Qin Chuan stretched out two fingers.

"Okay, stop being so rude. I'll treat you to a drink some other day."

"Okay."

Qin Chuan achieved his goal and jumped up.

Li Zhiming and Mingzhu also jumped up. The three of them boarded the iron-winged eagle and sped away towards the east.

An hour later, Li Zhiming and the other two arrived at a beautiful place with abundant spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

This is where the Zhenyuan Sect is located.

The hilltop to the west is the outer clan, and most of the area to the east is the inner clan.

The densely packed buildings are scattered across the landscape, hidden among the mountains, like a beautiful landscape painting.

"arrive."

Qin Chuan patted the iron-winged eagle, and the bird carried them to a corner of the inner sect, which was the inner sect's post station.

“I’m finally back.”

Li Zhiming looked around and saw disciples from various factions coming and going, making it quite lively.

The three of them came to the gate of Neizong Mountain, where there was a circular building with a huge transparent stone in the middle.

The stone projected a light curtain suspended above the circular table, which was covered with densely written words.

This is the inner sect’s notice board. Any notifications from the sect will be sent out here immediately.

Above the light curtain, the message is pinned at the top.

"Peng Li from Qingluan Peak took the initiative to plead guilty to framing Li Zhiming. After discussion between the Council of Elders and the Penalty Hall, his status as a direct disciple of Qingluan Peak was restored."

With just one simple sentence, Li Zhiming restored his former reputation from a traitor who colluded with evil.

But Li Zhiming was not happy. He just looked at the news with a serious expression.

His reputation was nothing more than a word from the Punishment Hall.

Whether you are in heaven or hell is just a matter of a thought in the Punishment Hall.

It's really unpleasant to feel that one's fate is controlled by others.

But now it’s different. From today on, he will take firm control of his own destiny!

"Qin Chuan, Senior Sister Mingzhu, let's go back to Qingluan Peak!"

Li Zhiming withdrew his gaze, turned and left, as if he had made some kind of decision.
