Mingchuan Zhenjun glanced around and asked Elder Chang, "Who injured my disciple?"
Elder Chang was sweating profusely. He didn't know much and didn't dare to say that it was caused by his subordinates, so he could only stammer, "This... this is a misunderstanding."
Although Elder Chang examined the injuries, he did not dare to use any medicine to treat them. Instead, he used wood spirit energy to help unblock the disordered meridians.
Although the two are only one major realm apart, the difference between them is like that between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment stage. The Nascent Soul stage is like a terrestrial immortal.
A Golden Core cultivator is still a cultivator, but a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is already at the level of a half-step immortal.
Mingchuan Zhenjun did not speak, but took action to stabilize Ajiang's injuries. Ajiang's injuries improved and he fell into a deep sleep.
Elder Chang stood sullenly to one side, awaiting his fate.
Everyone present was stunned when the roof was ripped off. When they saw the sect's supreme elder appear before them, no one dared to speak. They all obediently knelt on the ground, especially the female manager, who was already prostrate on the ground, feeling that disaster was about to befall her.
Mingchuan Zhenjun glanced at everyone. Although he didn't know the details, he felt that his landowner deserved to be punished for causing such serious injury.
He then coldly said, "Go to the punishment hall and receive fifty lashes."
The overwhelming pressure from the Grandmaster Yuan Hou made even the Golden Core cultivators dare not resist. Although it was an undeserved disaster, they managed to get through it.
"Yes, disciple will go right away."
Elder Chang dared not be angry or speak out, and obediently left to receive his flogging punishment.
However, he also breathed a sigh of relief, as this was the end of it, and any further trouble would be none of his concern.
Mingchuan Zhenjun looked at the others, raised his hand and grabbed two of them, the maid who had served Ajiang earlier and the beautiful steward. With the methods of a Nascent Soul True Person, he could find out what had happened just now with a simple search.
After understanding the whole story, he thought to himself that these mortals were short-sighted and it was no big deal for them to tease the guests. However, the fact that his little apprentice suddenly had an epiphany but was forcibly interrupted was because these disciples were too cunning, and the female manager had also forced him to do so.
Having learned the whole story, True Monarch Mingchuan didn't get too involved. He said to the two Foundation Establishment disciples, "Regardless of gender, all those involved in this incident, including the first-level manager, will be sentenced to thirty years of mining. The disciple who committed the assault will have his spiritual power abolished and will be forced to mine for life. The next-level manager will be given fifty lashes."
After saying that, he flew away with A-Jiang. His words were law, and no one dared to disobey. So, a chorus of cries erupted. Even the disciples who had been slammed against the wall felt that disaster had befallen them and regretted their actions.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the sect, and now everyone in the sect knew how much True Monarch Mingchuan cared for his disciples.
The name Ah Jiang was secretly circulating among the people, and both the righteous and the evil were determined not to provoke this disciple who was only at the Qi Refining stage.
Other bigwigs in the sect couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
He was just an ordinary disciple of a sect under the command of the Demon King Qingmu back then, but now he has such a great influence. I don't know what Mingchuan was thinking.
Ah Jiang was taken back to his cave by True Lord Mingchuan and took more than a month to recover.
Upon hearing about what happened that day, he felt guilty: "Master, it was all my fault. I have troubled you."
Mingchuan Zhenjun shook his head: "I have only been teaching you for a short time, so it is normal that you do not understand these things. In the future, you must never cultivate in the bustling city. Even if you have some insights, you must find a safe place. Otherwise, it is better to give up than to force it."
"Yes, disciple understands, and will not do it again." A-Jiang bowed his head and listened to the instruction.
Mingchuan Zhenjun then asked, "I already know about your experience that day. How could you suddenly have an epiphany after being treated so poorly?"
"I only thought that I was also at fault for wearing the clothes of a menial disciple, which caused the misunderstanding. I got angry because of this. Even though I punished those people, what I got was not what I wanted. On the contrary, my purpose was interfered with by these trivial matters, my behavior was controlled by others, and my cultivation was ruined. Thinking about this, I feel that the Great Dao is far away and I am really walking on thin ice."
Mingchuan Zhenjun nodded and said, "It is very difficult for someone your age to comprehend these things. This is both a good thing and a bad thing."
"What does Master mean by this?"
Can a tree grow if it is shackled?
A-Jiang shook his head.
