"Li Ling, you don't deserve to be punished!"

The tall and winding Mount Xuanzhen stood tall in the clouds, as if it were a fairyland.

A group of disciples in cyan surrounded one of the three peaks, the Punishment Mountain!

In the middle of the hall of the Punishment Mountain, a young man in gray was proudly looking around.

This young man in grey was Li Ling, 16 years old.

He used to be the most outstanding young disciple of Mount Xuan Zhen.

"Li Ling, are you guilty or not?"

The hall master of the Punishment Hall, He Lisong, had a fierce look on his face. Every time he got angry, it meant that someone was going to suffer.

In the face of such reprimand, Li Ling only replied with five words.

"What am I guilty of?"

At this moment, Li Ling's senior brother, Kang Xun, opened a scroll and read aloud.

"On the fourth day of this month, Senior Brother Xu's messenger pigeon was captured and eaten."

"Number eleven, the medicinal pill that the third elder had just produced disappeared without a trace. Later on, we found the residue in the dog's den!"

"One finger of the six-fingered patriarch's statue has been snapped off!"

...

"Three days ago! The big yellow dog on the mountain almost became a demon after taking the elixir!"

From Kang Xun's words, there were nearly 50 crimes committed by Li Ling.

Every crime was enough to whip Li Ling a hundred times.

The disciples who were watching couldn't help but click their tongues. They thought to themselves that this Li Ling was simply too stubborn.

Two young disciples whispered.

"In the past, Junior Brother Li Ling was the most outstanding young disciple in our Mount Xuan Zhen."

"That's right. He reached the Spiritual Martial Realm within three years and was rewarded by the master of Zhenwu Hall!"

"It's a pity that he was possessed by the devil in seclusion last time. Not only did he lose all his cultivation, but he also seemed to have a problem with his brain."

"Especially in recent days, it has become more and more strange. I heard that he would sit on the cliff of Zhenwu Hall at night."

Yes, this was Li Ling's past.

When he first entered the True Mystic Mountain, he shocked the world with a single brilliant feat. He was known as a cultivation genius.

In three years, he had achieved a level that other cultivators could never achieve in their entire lives.

With a fifteen or sixteen-year-old figure, he was able to conquer the Spiritual Martial Realm. For a moment, the gate of the sect was wide open.

But two months ago, during a closed-door training, Li Ling went berserk.

No one knew what had happened during the closed-door training.

But everyone knew that since then, Li Ling had completely become a mortal.

No one called him a cultivation genius, and their admiration was replaced by mockery.

Li Ling had spent two months under the pressure of this mockery.

Until he was judged by the Punishment Hall today!

Senior Brother Kang Xun finished reciting Li Ling's crimes, and the leader of the hall, He Lisong, raised his withered palm and pointed at Li Ling. "Li Ling, do you know what you're guilty of?"

From his tone, it could be seen that He Lisong seemed a little impatient.

Everyone knew that when He Lisong was angry last time, he directly broke a disciple's leg!

He thought that Li Ling would admit his guilt obediently and accept the punishment.

Unexpectedly, he snorted and said, "If you want to make amends, why do you have nothing to say?"

"How dare you!"

His Senior Brother, Kang Xun, was like a lackey and immediately added fuel to the fire. "Leader He, this Li Ling really doesn't know how to repent. Why don't we punish him for cleaning the toilet for a month?"

Kang Xun used to be Li Ling's most obedient lackey.

Although he was called Senior Brother, when Li Ling was promoted to the Spiritual Martial Realm, Kang Xun directly knelt down in front of Li Ling and begged him to treat him as his brother.

Now, Kang Xun had proved his characteristics as a lackey with his actions.

As soon as Li Ling was in trouble, this guy was in a hurry to fight back.

He couldn't wait for the former God's favored one to go and clean up the toilet.

Everyone thought that Li Ling would defend themselves, but he didn't defend himself at all.

"Whatever you want, it's up to you."

In fact, only Li Ling himself knew that the so-called crime, as well as the time when he was possessed by the devil, were not his bad luck.

Because his cultivation had improved too fast before, it caused the Sect Leader's eldest disciple, Zhang Xiunian, to be unhappy.

Zhang Xiunian was afraid that Li Ling's status would surpass his in the future, so he ordered Kang Xun to add a 'Seven Evil Grass' into Li Ling's closed-door cultivation elixir.

As for what happened next, it was all because of Zhang Xiunian's intention to kill Kang Xun.

"Li Ling, what else do you have to say?" He Lisong continued to ask angrily.

Li Ling sneered. "Haha, are you going to punish Zhang Xiunian for me, a 'cripple'?"

"How dare you! You are so naughty that you dare to frame the pro-disciple of the Sect Leader."

Kang Xun looked a little flustered. He hurriedly said, "Do you know who Senior Brother Zhang is? Even the Chang Ning Mansion's magistrate has to show some respect to him!"

The surrounding disciples were also whispering to each other. They even felt that Li Ling had gone mad and started to bite them.

"Li Ling is really sick. No matter how talented he is, he is no match for Senior Brother Zhang."

"How could Senior Brother Zhang harm him?"

"How shameless!"

No one in the field believed Li Ling.

Therefore, Li Ling felt that it was useless to say more.

"Forget it. It's up to you."

Li Ling didn't seem to care too much about all of this.

It seemed that in his heart, he didn't need to care about the whole Mount Xuan Zhen.

In He Lisong's opinion, that kind of contemptuous attitude and look could only be described in four words.

He looked down on all things!

He Lisong, the leader of the Punishment Hall, had seen countless naughty disciples in his life.

But he had never seen any disciple be afraid after coming to the Punishment Hall.

However, Li Ling was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he looked down on everyone.

How could a mortal without any cultivation do this?

In the end, He Lisong spoke.

"Li Ling is so stubborn that he disobeys his teacher and is punished for being a slave on the lower peak for a year. He is not allowed to cultivate!"

"This is bad, this is bad, this Li Ling is bad. He can't cultivate without elixirs for a year, so he can only do chores."

"He deserves it. After all, he used to be so powerful that even a genius could have a taste of being a slave."

"Haha, I asked him to help me fight last time, but he didn't go. Now I finally have a chance to deal with him."

Many disciples who had a grudge against Li Ling wanted to hit him when he was down.

Everyone thought that with this kind of punishment, no matter how powerful the God's favored one was, he would fall.

But Li Ling still couldn't be bothered with them.

"Are you done?"

Li Ling asked. Seeing that He Lisong had nothing to say, he turned around and was about to leave the mountain.

"What is he doing?"

Just when no one knew what Li Ling was going to do, he said something shocking!

"From today onwards, I will withdraw from the True Mystic Mountain."

What?

The whole scene was full of surprise!

He had actually stepped out of the door!

"This is the Mount Xuan Zhen!"

The biggest sect with a radius of 3,000 miles in the Changning Prefecture!

Many people broke their brains and wanted to squeeze in, but Li Ling retreated as he wished?

Even if he became a servant in Mount Xuan Zhen, he would still be superior to others. How could he be willing to retreat?

He Lisong was furious. "Li Ling, what did you say?"

"I'll tell you. I'll go back to the Mount Xuan Zhen."

In the eyes of others, the Mount Xuan Zhen was high above.

But in Li Ling's eyes, it was nothing more than a trifle.

Li Ling went down the mountain just like that, leaving a group of people in the Punishment Hall looking at each other in dismay.

He Lisong, in particular, was so angry that he almost lost his balance.

On the other hand, Kang Xun laughed to himself. "It's good that you've retreated, Senior Brother Zhang. You'll be able to rest easy now."

Everyone was still shocked by Li Ling's leaving.

Suddenly, a voice came into everyone's ears.

"Within a year, I will definitely destroy the True Mystic Mountain!"

Li Ling's voice lingered in everyone's ears.

Many people did not understand what was going on.

Li Ling had already left, so why was there still his voice?

Kang Xun exclaimed, "This is a sound transmitting talisman. He actually used a sound transmitting talisman to utter such disrespectful words!"

"What? How could such a valuable sound transmitting talisman be used up so casually?"
