Chapter 324: House Arrest Punishment
The closer they were to Qingfeng Palace, the safer they were. They encountered almost no accidents along the way, and they didn't even encounter a single monster that had entered the rank. It could be said that everything went very smoothly.
Seeing the mountain gate of Qingfeng Palace from afar, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally back and no longer had to worry. No matter what happened in the past, the current Qingfeng Palace was like a home in their minds, which could bring them safety and warmth.
Because of the incident with the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu, many things needed to be reported to the higher authorities, and there was no need to hide their whereabouts, so the group swaggered towards the fairy gate of Qingfeng Palace.
Walking all the way to the pavilion halfway up the mountain, before everyone could take a breath, two people suddenly walked out of the mist in front, Zhou Nianyu and Ji Silin. Today, it was their turn to guard the mountain gate, and they were also destined to be with Qingyang, Cui Yu'an and others.
Seeing Qin Ruyan, Zhou Nianyu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Junior Sister Qin, you are finally back. The deputy head was furious because of you. The two junior brothers who were in charge of guarding the mountain gate last time were severely punished for this."
"I am wrong. I made you worry." Qin Ruyan blushed and said.
Zhou Nianyu obviously did not expect that Junior Sister Qin, who had always been rude to other brothers in the sect, would blush. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Ji Silin looked coldly at the people behind Qin Ruyan, and scolded Deng Changting: "Junior Brother Deng, you have caused a big disaster. You dared to instigate Junior Sister Qin to leave the mountain gate privately. You are so bold. Uncle Deng has already said that he will never show favoritism to you this time."
Deng Changting's face was bitter, and he complained: "Senior Brother Ji, you can't blame me for this. Don't you know what kind of temper Senior Sister Qin has? If she insists on going, how can I stop her?"
Ji Silin ignored Deng Changting and scolded the others: "And you guys, not only did you know about it but also followed in the fun. Fortunately, Junior Sister Qin was fine, otherwise the sect would definitely not let you off easily."
Then Zhou Seeing that no one spoke, the senior brother thought that everyone was frightened by Ji Nianlin, and explained beside him: "Don't blame Senior Brother Ji. It was because of this incident that the deputy head of the sect, Qingjing Sanren, was furious after knowing this. He not only punished the two junior brothers who were guarding the mountain gate at that time and asked them to reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors, but also issued a special order that all of you, including Junior Sister Qin, will be confined to the house and not allowed to leave the sect for five years."
No one expected that the Qingfeng Hall would react so strongly after knowing that Qin Ruyan had left the mountain gate privately. Senior Brother Ji, who was guarding the mountain gate, scolded them so badly. When they saw the deputy head of the sect, wouldn't they be torn into pieces?
Being able to let the deputy head of the sect personally issue a punishment order, they were considered to have made a little name for themselves in the sect. Fortunately, it was just confinement, which did not affect everyone's practice. It seems that the deputy head of the sect also knew that this matter was not everyone's fault, so he gave such a light punishment.
At this time, Zhou Nianyu seemed to notice something wrong and asked, "What's going on? I heard that nine of you went there? How come only seven came back? Where are the other two?"
"Shi Shan and Deng Changzhu are both dead." Deng Changting said in a deep voice.
Zhou Siyu was immediately shocked and asked quickly, "What's going on?"
Ji Nianlin also said angrily, "It only took you more than a month to go back and forth, so you must not be too far from our Qingfeng Hall. Who is so bold as to provoke the disciples of Qingfeng Hall within the sphere of influence of our Qingfeng Hall? Did you encounter the remnants of the demonic sect?"
"It's the one-eyed dragon Lengyu..." Qin Ruyan said.
Before Qin Ruyan finished speaking, Zhou Siyu screamed, "One-eyed dragon Lengyu? This guy is actually active near our Qingfeng Hall? This matter is too serious. Junior brother Ji, you continue to guard the mountain gate. I will take the junior brothers and sisters back to report this matter first."
Others may not know about the one-eyed dragon Lengyu, but Zhou Siyu and Ji Nianlin will know it, because they are all disciples of the same batch and know each other. It was just that later, the one-eyed dragon Lengyu committed a crime and became a casual cultivator after escaping, so his cultivation level was slightly behind theirs.
The two of them had a certain understanding of the strength of the one-eyed dragon Lengyu, and they knew that several disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining in the sect died at the hands of the one-eyed dragon Lengyu. Even the inner courtyard disciples were not his opponents. It was a miracle that Qin Ruyan and others could come back alive.
This was not the most important thing. The important thing was that the whereabouts of the one-eyed dragon Lengyu were known. The one-eyed dragon Lengyu was alive, which was a mockery of the ability of Qingfeng Hall and a threat to the disciples of Qingfeng Hall who went out to train. Therefore, Qingfeng Hall had always wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
It was only because they could not find out the whereabouts of this guy that the one-eyed dragon Lengyu was free until now. Now that they finally had some clues about him, they must report it as soon as possible and send enough people to arrest this guy as soon as possible.
Ji Nianlin also knew that the matter was of great importance, and he could no longer care about anything else. He took out a small dark blue flag from his arms and waved it a few times to open the mountain gate. Afterwards, Zhou Siyu did not delay and led everyone into the mountain gate and quickly headed towards the main peak of Qingfeng Hall.
Zhou Siyu was anxious to go back and report the news. At first, he walked side by side with everyone, but gradually he sped up and disappeared at the end of the stairs in the blink of an eye. When Qin Ruyan, Qingyang and others arrived at the main peak, many people were already waiting outside the hall.
Among the people who came, there was not only the deputy head, Qingjing Sanren, but also the head of the Law Enforcement Court, Qingmin Sanren, and the head of the Outer Court, Qingxin Sanren. Apparently, they heard that Qin Ruyan and others had returned and brought back news about the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu, so they all came to ask for details.
When Qingyang and others just walked up to the crowd, suddenly, three powerful and domineering divine thoughts swept towards everyone. I don’t know what others think, at least Qingyang feels that since he started cultivating immortals, these three divine thoughts are the most powerful he has ever seen. It seems that all the secrets on his body can’t be concealed at this moment, and they can be seen clearly by the other party.
No need to guess, these three divine thoughts must be from Qingjing Sanren, Qingmin Sanren and Qingxin Sanren, three late-stage foundation-building cultivators. Fortunately, they had no ill intentions, just routine checks, and everyone just felt their heartbeats speed up and their faces turned pale, but they were not affected by anything else. Otherwise, these three divine thoughts alone would make everyone lose their resistance.
Seeing Qin Ruyan and the others, Qing Jing San Ren snorted coldly and said, "You still remember to come back? It's because I spoiled you that you developed such a lawless character. Tell me, what on earth did you do after sneaking out of the sect?"
