Zhang Fan reported the matter directly to the Law Enforcement Hall on the grounds that the rumors had tarnished the reputation of Fu Feng's guest elder.
Previously, the rumors were only spread privately, and the Law Enforcement Hall knew the inside story. However, as long as the parties involved did not pursue the matter, they would not intervene. Now that it has been exposed by Master Fu Feng’s eldest disciple, they have to investigate.
The Law Enforcement Hall stepped in to investigate the matter, and they were very quick in tracing the cause and eventually found Feng Shuying.
At first Feng Shuying wanted to deny it, but the Law Enforcement Hall did not tolerate her and took the person back to the Law Enforcement Hall. They also took the disciples who spread the rumors back for interrogation. With multiple testimonies, it was difficult for Feng Shuying not to admit it.
But Feng Shuying still gritted her teeth and insisted:
"Although I was the one who spread this story, what I said was the truth. As for why it was spread in that way, it was not my intention. You can ask the person involved in this matter."
The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall felt very disdainful after hearing Feng Shuying's sophistry. They had seen many people like this, and the two people in the rumor were in seclusion. How could they verify it? It was obviously just a way to delay time.
Master Fu Feng read the news sent back by his eldest disciple and said calmly:
"No rush, let's wait for two more days. Elder Bai should have good news soon."
Two days ago, the place where Lianyi was in retreat began to be covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and it was obvious that a calamity of thunder was about to strike.
All of this was created by Lianyi using her innate skills as the Fantasy Sky Fox, with the assistance of the talisman array. She was already at the seventh level, equivalent to the human refining stage, and it was impossible for her to survive another divine thunder tribulation.
But the reason she joined the Yuntian Sect in the first place was to advance in rank, and it was impossible for her to survive the Divine Transformation Tribulation outside the Yuntian Sect. Doing so would easily create hidden dangers. Nothing could be more convincing than advancing in front of all the Yuntian Sect disciples.
This was a decision Lianyi made after careful consideration. He could take this opportunity to improve his status as a guest elder. Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation are two realms, but they represent completely different meanings.
The sect might not care about a guest elder in the Nascent Soul stage, but they would definitely make an effort to keep a guest elder in the Spirit Transformation stage in the sect. The Yuntian Sect also developed bit by bit in this way before.
The very next day after Fu Zuotian finished talking about this, Lianyi encountered her own "God Transformation" thunder tribulation. A total of forty-five thunder tribulations struck down, attracting the attention of all the disciples in the sect. Lianyi also advanced to the God Transformation stage in full view of everyone. The moment the pressure dissipated, everyone felt it.
Lianyi put away the talisman formation, cleaned herself up, and appeared outside the tribulation site in a flash. Fu Zuotian was the first to greet her.
"Congratulations to Elder Bai for advancing to the Divine Transformation Stage. This is a blessing for Fu Feng!"
"Master Fu Feng, you are too kind. If the sect had not provided me with such a good place to advance, I would not have been sure of reaching the Divine Transformation stage. Joining the Yuntian Sect this time is the best decision I have ever made."
Ripple responded with a smile on her face.
"It is also our luck that Elder Bai has joined the Yuntian Sect."
A group of elders and peak masters from the Yuntian Sect came forward with a smile to greet Lianyi, regardless of whether they knew her or not, they just wanted to make themselves familiar with her first.
After dealing with the people who came to congratulate her, Lianyi said to Master Fu Feng:
"Peak Master, Bai has just been promoted to the Divine Transformation Stage, and would like to retreat for a period of time to consolidate his cultivation, so I would like to apply to postpone the sect's missions for the next few years. I wonder if this is feasible?"
"That's no problem. Everyone knows that the further you go in your cultivation, the longer you will have to stay in seclusion. So some people choose to complete the sect's missions in advance, and some fellow disciples who are eager to consolidate their cultivation will choose to complete the missions after the seclusion is over. It doesn't matter."
"That couldn't be better. I'll go and replace my identity jade badge first and report to you. My seclusion this time will take at least ten years."
Lianyi did not hide anything and explained everything clearly.
"Elder Bai, I asked Zhang Fan to help you replace your identity jade badge. I have something to tell you."
Master Fu Feng spoke to Lianyi seriously, then waved to his eldest disciple.
Lian Yi pretended to be unaware and handed the old identity jade token to Zhang Fan. She kept it for herself and waited until Zhang Fan left before speaking:
"Master Fu Feng, is there anything you need me to do? Just tell me."
"This matter has something to do with Elder Bai."
Then Master Fu Feng told her about the rumors about her and Lian Xiye, and also told her the Law Enforcement Hall's opinions on how to deal with the situation.
Lian Yi cooperated very well and her face darkened. After Master Fu Feng finished speaking, she bowed in shame and said:
“This matter was not handled properly by Bai, which allowed some people to take advantage of the situation and even brought it to the peak master. It’s my fault.
The peak master knows that I am a casual cultivator and that my family was born in a small borderland. My family has done their best to help me cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. I have worked hard all the way to the Yuntian Sect and have earned a path to heaven for myself, which I naturally will not allow others to tarnish.
Moreover, I, Bai Lianyi, also know that we should be on guard against others. Here is also a self-evident photo stone. Peak Master, please take a look at it first. If there is no problem, you can send it to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Those who spread rumors and cause trouble should be dealt with accordingly, otherwise others will really think that I, Bai Lianyi, am easy to bully and anyone can come up and step on me."
After saying this, Lianyi handed the photo stone to Fu Zuotian.
After reading the contents of the image jade, Master Fu Feng knew that the problem was most likely caused by Lian Xiye.
As they were all experienced people, how could he not see the admiration and calculation in Lian Xiye's eyes towards Elder Bai? Especially after Elder Bai's straightforward rejection, Lian Xiye still did not give up and shamelessly fought for an opportunity for himself.
Elder Bai's approach was very magnanimous and he did not say anything unpleasant. Although he denied Lian Xiye's talent in talisman making and thought that he should not be too rigid in making talismans, he still encouraged him to practice hard.
She even gave Lian Xiye spirit stones and elixirs to improve his cultivation level because she had borrowed Lian Xiye's remaining talismans for reference before, which meant she didn't owe him anything. As an elder, she was a rare and particular person.
"My disciple Lian Xiye basically attended my talisman-making class every time and always asked me for advice on talisman-making techniques. However, he was the type of disciple who was hardworking but lacked talent, so I had to tactfully persuade him several times.
But he seemed to be possessed by a demon and insisted on learning how to make talismans. Later he even asked to become my disciple, which I naturally refused.
Since I am accepting a disciple, I naturally want to choose someone who is talented, hardworking, respectful to teachers and able to inherit my mantle. This Lian Xiye has some evil intentions, so I have never considered accepting him as my disciple.
But he still insisted, so I proposed that entering the top ten of the Golden Core Stage in the sect competition be the minimum standard for him to be accepted as a disciple.
With his current cultivation level of the early Golden Core stage, it was actually quite difficult. I didn't want to hit him too hard, so I gave him some spirit stones and pills and asked him to retreat and make a sprint.
Even if he couldn't make it into the top ten of the Jindan stage, at least his own cultivation would not fall behind, and it would also put an end to his desire to become a disciple. This matter would be perfectly resolved, but he didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to show up halfway. "(End of this chapter)
