Chapter 1019: 1017, False Accusation

With the arrival of elders from various sects, Liangyi Sect was bustling with activity.

Lin Jue specially arranged a banquet to entertain everyone. Once the elders were seated, delicious dishes, fine wine, and heavenly fruits were all presented.

"Sect Master Lin, I heard that the ones who completed this mission were newly admitted disciples from the Sea Realm. Could we perhaps meet them?" Elder Li from Sacred Heavenly Gate asked.

"Our disciples who accompanied them on this mission said those two disciples are exceptionally talented—rare cultivation geniuses." Elder Xu from Magpie Mountain Sect said with a smile.

"Our new disciples said the same. Those two disciples are said to possess Pure Spirit Root Aptitude." Elder Xiao from Great Mahayana Island stroked his beard as he chuckled.

Lin Jue raised his wine glass to toast the group, took a sip, and smiled, "Esteemed elders! It’s not that I don’t want to let those two disciples meet you. The thing is, they’ve gone to our Liangyi Sect’s secret realm for cultivation."

"When will they come out?" Elder Xiao asked eagerly. His primary reason for coming this time, aside from seeing the Star Origin Fruit, was to meet those two disciples. He wanted to see just what kind of characters they were.

"This, I’m not sure either. I rewarded them this time with unlimited cultivation in the secret realm. They’ve only just entered; at the earliest, it’ll likely take two to three months," Lin Jue replied.

That Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo completed the mission so quickly was beyond his expectations. To protect them, he had to hide them. As long as they didn’t appear, other sects wouldn’t have an excuse to harm them. Giving them the unlimited token had this motive, too.

"So they won’t participate in the sect competition three months from now?" Elder Yao from Nine Stars Observatory asked. He was also eager to meet those two disciples.

"They’re new disciples; they’re not yet qualified to compete," Lin Jue said lightly with a smile. Naturally, he hoped Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo could participate, but to keep them safe, he had to create such restrictions.

Each sect had disciples from the Sea Realm, so they knew some details about Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo. Their cultivation advancement was so rapid that mere Pure Spirit Root Aptitude alone couldn’t explain it. After all, every sect had Pure Spirit Root disciples, yet none progressed as swiftly as Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo. It was evident they had secrets, which piqued the interest of these sects.

Liangyi Sect’s victories or losses didn’t matter. Before Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo arrived, that had always been the case.

"That’s truly a pity! Otherwise, your Liangyi Sect might have a shot at winning the championship."

"Indeed, I heard the Liangyi Sect in the Sea Realm got first place because of them."

"Sect Master Lin, could you bring out the Star Origin Fruit for us to view?"

"Of course!" Lin Jue glanced at Elder Mu beside him.

Elder Mu immediately took the order and exited.

Shortly after, Elder Mu returned carrying a tray, drawing the eager eyes of everyone present.

A captivating fragrance filled the banquet hall, intoxicating everyone.

The elders’ gaze turned toward the tray Elder Mu was holding. Inside was an entirely snow-white fruit, radiating an immortal essence, about the size of a fist.

"The Star Origin Fruit truly lives up to its reputation!"

"Indeed! Just looking at it already evokes a sense of enlightenment."

"Sect Master Lin is truly fortunate!" The elders gazed enviously at the Star Origin Fruit on the tray, each wishing they could claim it for themselves.

Lin Jue laughed heartily, "For this sect competition, I plan to hand this Star Origin Fruit to the Sect Management Council for safekeeping." Liangyi Sect was too weak; keeping the Star Origin Fruit here would only invite trouble. Giving it to the council not only deflected the desires of other sects but also brought benefits to Liangyi Sect.

"Sect Master Lin is truly selfless!"

"Sect Master Lin’s noble character is one we should all learn from."

Lin Jue raised his wine glass and smiled, "Cheers!" If Liangyi Sect were as powerful as the Top Ten Sects, he wouldn’t have handed over the painstakingly obtained Star Origin Fruit so easily.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo’s cultivation advanced steadily as time passed. With dozens of Star Origin Fruits, their state of mind was elevated further after consumption, smoothing their cultivation with no bottlenecks ahead.

Time flowed by during their training, and before they knew it, two months had passed.

Cheng Yimiao and Elder Yan, along with several disciples, completed delivering the Star Origin Fruit to the Sect Management Council and exited.

"Elder Yan, we’re planning to go to Phoenix City to buy some items. We’ll return to the sect in no more than three days," Cheng Yimiao proposed. Rarely getting the chance to leave, he naturally wanted to explore freely.

Elder Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "Purchase what you need quickly and return. Do not linger outside."

"Understood!" Cheng Yimiao and the disciples replied in unison.

Once Elder Yan departed via flying ship, Cheng Yimiao also activated his flying ship and led the disciples toward Phoenix City.

Phoenix City was the largest city in the Earth Realm, home to Great Mahayana Island, one of the Top Ten Sects.

After eating and drinking their fill, Cheng Yimiao and the disciples headed for Phoenix City’s largest Dual Cultivation Tower.

"Senior Brother Cheng, are we really going in there?" one disciple asked bashfully. He was still a pure and innocent man and was unwilling to lose his virginity in such a place.

"If you’re too afraid to go in, you can wait for us outside," Cheng Yimiao said with a sly grin.

The other disciples laughed along with him.

The disciple turned even redder. "I think I’ll wait outside, then." He simply didn’t want to enter such a place.

"Alright then, don’t regret it later!" Cheng Yimiao laughed out loud as he walked into the Dual Cultivation Tower, followed by the other disciples.

The disciple watched as Cheng Yimiao and the others entered the tower. He looked around and, spotting a teahouse nearby, walked toward it.

Inside the Dual Cultivation Tower, Cheng Yimiao found a stunningly beautiful woman and engaged in passionate revelry.

Satisfied, he left the tower with the other disciples. Just as he was about to meet up with the disciple who had stayed outside, a group of disciples dressed in Great Mahayana Island attire surrounded them.

"What’s the meaning of this?" Cheng Yimiao felt a pang of unease as he looked at the disciples encircling them.

A mid-stage Immortal Monarch stepped out from the group, glaring coldly at Cheng Yimiao. "You have close ties with Demon Cultivators. With the evidence before us, what else can you say?"

"Senior Brother, you must have misunderstood something. I am a disciple of a righteous sect—how could I have dealings with Demon Cultivators?" Cheng Yimiao defended himself.

"Hmph!" The Immortal Monarch snorted coldly, clapping his hands.

A woman was promptly brought out by the disciples of Great Mahayana Island.

Seeing the woman, Cheng Yimiao’s heart sank. She was none other than the female cultivator he had just been with in the tower.
