Targeting me? No way!
Qin Baoyao was carried by her brother to find her parents, but found that they were not there. She then waved her hand to let her brother go and do his business, and she strolled slowly, taking out the flowers and plants she had picked and tied them into bundles, preparing to give them as gifts to her senior brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts.
Who knew that she would receive a message from the sect leader asking her to go to the main hall.
She was stunned for a moment, then realized that she still had ten lashes to go, and wailed: "No way, they don't even give me time to rest? I have to be whipped as soon as I get out?"
She reluctantly climbed onto Luo Wenxuehu's back at a turtle's pace and patted him: "Sanzi, go to the main hall, walk slowly."
Luo Wenxuehu groaned, wondering when he would have the chance to run wildly like last time?
When Qin Baoyao arrived at the main hall, she found that it was a grand occasion. Even several masters who were in seclusion were present.
She lingered at the door, thinking: Is it necessary for so many people to come and watch me get beaten?
"Yaoyao, come here." The sect leader sat above the hall and waved at her.
When Qin Baoyao stepped into the hall, she found several people kneeling in the center of the hall.
Aren't you all here to watch me get beaten? That's good, that's good. Otherwise, it would be a huge embarrassment.
When she came up to him, the clan leader said, "These people have also taken the Spirit Charm Pill and need to be detained in the Cliff of Repentance. However, they think that you were protected by someone when you entered the Cliff of Repentance, which is cheating, and they don't accept it."
"So?" Qin Baoyao asked in confusion, "Can't they also find someone to protect them?"
The sect leader looked up at the sky speechlessly: "What do you think?" In the entire Guiyi Sect, apart from her, is there anyone else who was punished like going on an outing?
Qin Baoyao hesitated: "What else?"
"You go in alone once." Before the sect leader could speak, someone below could not help but speak.
"No, I won't go! There are so many level five monsters in the Cliff of Repentance. I can't defeat them. I won't go!" Qin Baoyao refused directly. She was a weakling at the second level of Qi Refining. She couldn't even defeat a level one monster, let alone a level five one. She would be treated as a snack.
When the people standing and kneeling below heard this, they were all shocked: There is actually a fifth-level monster on the Cliff of Repentance?
Someone immediately protested, "The last time a fourth-level monster appeared, the disciples who were punished came out badly injured, some missing limbs. Now even fifth-level monsters are appearing? What's going on? Are the Enforcement Hall going to let all the disciples die in there?"
As soon as this was said, a lot of people responded. The disciples should be punished for their mistakes, but after all, it was they themselves who took the banned drugs and did not bring harm to others, so it did not deserve the death penalty.
Besides, if the Cliff of Repentance has reached this level, it will no longer be suitable as a tool to punish disciples.
Seeing that everyone was talking more and more outrageous, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall stood up and said, "Do you think a fifth-level monster beast can appear just by saying it?"
"What's the meaning?"
"What this means is that the difficulty of the Cliff of Repentance will be set according to the level of the disciple with the highest cultivation level among those entering. So no one has noticed that every time the punished disciples needed to enter in batches, they would always be arranged to have people with similar cultivation levels enter together?" The head of the Law Enforcement Hall became more and more speechless. He really didn't expect that after all these years, no one had discovered this hidden rule.
As soon as the head of the Law Enforcement Hall finished speaking, everyone fell silent. He was speechless. So, haven't these people used their brains for all these years?
"That's not right. There were no fifth-level monsters before." Someone insisted on arguing.
The head of the Law Enforcement Hall looked at the man with a look of "Don't you understand what I'm saying?" and said, "That's because Qin Jun is in the Spirit Transformation Stage. The ones who went there before were only Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples... First and second level monsters were enough for them to handle, let alone a fifth level monster. They would be wiped out in minutes."
When Qin Baoyao heard this, she suddenly understood. No wonder her third senior brother said that when he was punished to be confined in the Cliff of Repentance, he encountered a third-level monster.
But even the first level won't work, and I might not be able to defeat him. If I hide, I'm sure I can win, Qin Baoyao thought to herself.
The next second, a bunch of people were heard saying that if Qin Baoyao didn't go in herself, then being confined in the Cliff of Repentance would be unfair to other disciples. After all, not everyone had a brother like Qin Jun like her.
Qin Baoyao was standing high enough to see the people standing below. They all seemed certain that this time the punishment for them would be lenient. If that was the case, then the people kneeling naturally wouldn't have to go to the Cliff of Repentance.
For some reason, she felt like this was a tactic directed at her. If she enjoyed privileges in matters of principle and bottom line, would others, like herself in her dream, repeatedly consume the Spiritual Charm Pill? Wouldn't this ultimately lead to the sect being labeled a cult, attracting ostracism and attacks from other sects?
Thinking of this, she was shocked. No, this is absolutely not allowed.
After struggling internally for a while, she said weakly, "Then... then I will go into the Cliff of Remorse again by myself."
As soon as Qin Baoyao said this, the murmurs in the audience stopped, and a group of people looked at her in disbelief. The next moment, she heard a clear voice: "What? How could she bring herself to be punished?"
Qin Baoyao's eyes widened. It was the same voice again! It sounded so familiar. She must have heard it before. Who was it?
She looked down, only to find total silence. Everyone seemed frightened by her words. After a moment, a weak voice rang out, "Are you serious?"
"Yes, really." Qin Baoyao said, and walked out immediately, "I'll go now." She was afraid that she would regret it if she was late.
So everyone looked at Qin Baoyao, who had just come out of the Cliff of Repentance in the morning, and actually went into the Cliff of Repentance again alone.
It has to be said that Qin Baoyao really understands herself. As soon as she entered the Cliff of Repentance and the door behind her closed, she regretted it.
The reason was simple: it was really too dark in there, the wind was blowing so hard that it made people feel uneasy, and there were a lot of strange noises. She hurriedly took out a palm-sized night pearl to illuminate the room, and then began to move forward carefully.
Everyone in the hall fell silent. After all, few people had seen a palm-sized night pearl. They looked at each other in surprise, and everyone had an envious expression on their face, thinking, "Qin Baoyao is so rich!"
Qin Baoyao, holding the night pearl, didn't know that a lot of people envied her, and she was still taking one step forward and two steps back.
In the main hall, a bunch of people stayed to watch. In order to avoid being accused of unfairness by those who were about to be punished, their masters, and fellow disciples, Qin Baoyao asked to bring the Taiyin Mirror with her so that they could monitor them anytime and anywhere.
According to the words of the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, even though Qin Baoyao is only at the second level of Qi Refining, she will encounter a first-level monster.
Some people stayed because they were worried, some wanted to stay and see the plight of this little ancestor of the clan, and some wanted to find fault with him.
Everyone thought that she was so weak that she went to the Cliff of Repentance alone. Even if her life was not in danger, she would be in a very miserable state and seriously injured. After all, Qin Baoyao was someone who could not even defeat a first-level monster.
But no one expected that the measure she took was "hide if you can't beat it", and she didn't fight the monsters head-on. When she saw a monster from afar, she would stick all kinds of talismans on herself, and she escaped without danger many times.
At the beginning, a lot of people were paying attention to her progress. As she took out seemingly inexhaustible pills, talismans and defensive magic tools, everyone went from being shocked at first to gradually becoming numb, and realized that even without Qin Jun's protection, it would not be a big deal for Qin Baoyao to be confined in the Cliff of Repentance.
Although she would be frightened by sudden monsters in the Taiyin Realm, and every time she would cry and shout "Dad", "Mom", "Brother", she would throw out various talismans and put on defensive magic tools without hesitation.
"This... this is not fair." Those who were about to be punished looked at Qin Baoyao's actions and protested in a low voice.
"Unfair? Didn't Yaoyao go to the Cliff of Repentance on her own?" Qin Jun, who was worried about his sister, stopped drawing talismans and refining tools. He stood in front of the mirror every day to keep an eye on his sister. Upon hearing this, he asked directly.
"Yes, but..."
"Isn't Yaoyao going through the levels on her own?" Qin Jun asked.
"Yes, but..."
"But what's the "but"? Yaoyao has a lot of resources? You don't have any?" Qin Jun was very upset. All his life, he and his parents had never wanted his sister to suffer, but because of these people, his sister had to face those ferocious and ugly monsters alone. So he said to them bluntly: "Yaoyao's resources were all given by my parents and me. So? As her family, is there a problem with us giving her the resources we earned?"
When those people were questioned by Qin Jun, they were unable to refute for a while. After all, what he said was absolutely right. Even if Qin Baoyao's resources were not earned by herself, they were given to her voluntarily by her family. She had never snatched other people's resources. You can't blame her for being spoiled by someone, right?
Several people knew that this time, once Qin Baoyao came out, they would have no excuse to avoid punishment, and they were all discouraged. After all, in order to buy the Lingmei Pill, they not only used up all the spirit stones, but even sold some of the resources. They had no choice but to force their way into the Cliff of Repentance.
Qin Baoyao didn't know that her brother was watching her anytime and anywhere outside. She only knew that the Cliff of Repentance was really dark and there were so many monsters. Although she had avoided most of them, some monsters were too strong and she could not avoid them at all. She could only fight them head-on. Moreover, without her brother around, she couldn't pick the flowers and plants.
"Wuuuu... I miss you, brother." After she was frightened by the monster again and missed the beautiful flowers and plants, she couldn't help crying.
Qin Jun, who was in the main hall, saw this scene and instantly got furious. He jumped towards the Cliff of Repentance and almost impulsively destroyed the entrance to the Cliff, but was held tightly by the disciples guarding the entrance.
