Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 176 Punishment

Wang Luyi understood very well that Huang Suyu had already fallen, and the sect could no longer continue to eliminate Yu Changsheng, especially after he had demonstrated his value and potential. He was a genius who could rival or even surpass Huang Suyu, and they could not let him pay with his life.

The reason why Lu Ruikai was so furious and intervened to stop the fight between the two was largely because Huang Suyu's sword intent and the Four Swords of Annihilation moved him and made him want to intervene to protect her.

But now, this unexpected incident has occurred, and suddenly, punishing Yu Changsheng seems to have become a problem.

Therefore, Wang Luyi became a vent for his grievances, as he had to both save face for his sect and give everyone an explanation...

So now that he's in this situation... Thinking of this, Wang Luyi was filled with fear and dared not think any further. Regret began to brew in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ruikai burst into laughter in anger; this time he was truly furious.

"So, you want to turn the world upside down? As a member of the sect, instead of uniting the disciples, you abuse your power to collude and kill others, and interfere with the trials. I think you've forgotten who gave you everything you have today!"

"This disciple knows his mistake!"

Wang Luyi trembled, lowered his head even further, and could only kowtow repeatedly.

"Fine, if that's the case, then you have no reason to exist anymore. Some mistakes are unforgivable."

Lu Ruikai's gaze was icy. As he spoke, he waved his right hand at Wang Luyi. The next moment, Wang Luyi's expression changed drastically. He looked up in horror and opened his mouth to utter a single word, "No," but his body was wiped away as if it had been erased from a piece of paper.

At this moment, Lu Ruikai was already in his true form. With his terrifying cultivation, killing such a disciple was no different from killing an ant.

It was this move that made everyone even more aweful, and they lowered their heads and remained silent.

Yu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Ruikai, saying, "Sect Leader, you are wise and grateful. I am willing to accept any punishment."

At this point, Yu Changsheng felt more confident. He was basically safe, since Lu Ruikai was on his side both morally and logically, so Lu Ruikai had no reason to make any further moves.

As for the previous difficulties, they were just trying to find a way to back down, and Wang Luyi was that way. After all, Huang Suyu was dead, which was a pity but not of any use. Yu Changsheng also used his own methods to make him take him seriously.

In short, the more amazing Yu Changsheng's performance, the less likely he is to be punished, especially in a sect like the Myriad Manifestations Sect that cultivates disciples like raising poisonous insects.

Lu Ruikai withdrew his oppressive aura, his expression calm, and nodded to him, saying:

"This situation is understandable; you are the victim, so I can't say much. The cancer has been removed; are you dissatisfied?"

"This disciple has no such answer," Yu Changsheng replied respectfully, bowing his head.

"But..." Lu Ruikai paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "But you did break the sect's rules by killing a fellow disciple during the trial. Whatever grudges existed between you, the fact remains that he was killed by you."

Yun Hejing immediately tensed up, her heart leaping into her throat. She wanted to stand up and say something, but Elder Hai stopped her and slowly shook his head.

"This disciple knows his sins." Yu Changsheng lowered his head, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.

"In that case, I will punish you. There is still half an hour left before the end of the Heavenly Ladder Trial. I myself once left my mark on it, reaching the highest level of 7,999. If you can climb a higher Heavenly Ladder than I have, then everything will be over. What do you say?"

A strange look flashed in Lu Ruikai's eyes as he slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, their expressions varying.

What kind of punishment is this?

Anyone with eyes can see that Lu Ruikai just wanted to test Yu Changsheng. Even if he didn't step on it, nothing would have happened.

"This..." Yu Changsheng was taken aback, his expression slightly hesitant.

"What, you don't dare?" Lu Ruikai said calmly.

"That's not it, it's just that with my current physical condition, I'm afraid I can't comply."

Yu Changsheng smiled bitterly. From before until now, he was completely exhausted and at his last gasp, barely holding on by sheer willpower.

His physical body, soul, and cultivation were all completely drained. The injuries on his body and the backlash from his soul left him extremely weak. As for continuing to climb the Heavenly Ladder? That was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Lu Ruikai remained silent, glanced at Yu Changsheng's injuries, and took out a pill that floated in front of Yu Changsheng.

"Since there are no objections, then take this pill. I'll give you time to adjust and continue the trial."

Yu Changsheng was moved, and grasped the pill, his spirits lifted.

This pill is extraordinary; it floats amidst a misty aura, its entire body azure with a crimson dot in the center, upon which a pill-like pattern is engraved. Even a single whiff of its aroma is like a gentle breeze, refreshing and invigorating.

"A third-grade elixir... the Rejuvenating Pill..."

Yu Changsheng gently inhaled the aroma of the medicine, somewhat surprised by Lu Ruikai's generosity.

The most supreme of the third-grade pills is the Rejuvenation Pill, which, as the name suggests, is used for healing. It is an extremely precious pill even for Golden Core cultivators, and for cultivators below the Golden Core stage, no matter how severe their injuries, as long as they still have a breath left, one pill can bring them back to life.

Moreover, this elixir can nourish the body, consciousness, soul, and magic power, allowing for rapid recovery. Even if one cannot recover to peak strength immediately, one will still be at about half of the original level.

The difficulty in refining this pill is no less than that of some fourth-grade pills, and its value is unimaginable. Yu Changsheng did not expect that Lu Ruikai could actually produce such a holy medicine for healing.

Moreover, it possesses a single red mark, making it even more rare and precious.

Given his condition, there was absolutely no need to use such expensive pills; using them would be a waste of his talents.

"Eat it, don't waste time, this pill is enough to heal your injuries."

Lu Ruikai's expression remained unchanged, showing not a trace of heartache, and he spoke calmly.

Everyone was moved, watching with bated breath as Yu Changsheng swallowed the pill.

Yu Changsheng did not hesitate. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and its powerful medicinal effects flowed through his limbs and bones, causing a surge of vitality to rapidly erupt within his body.

Yu Changsheng felt as if withered trees had come back to life, or a long-awaited rain had fallen after a drought. His whole body felt refreshed, his pale face quickly regained its color, and his weak breathing stabilized rapidly.

Every cell in his body greedily absorbed the medicinal effects, astonishing spiritual energy rippled and flowed within it, his pores opened, and all his fatigue was completely eliminated. Under the nourishment of this medicinal power, Yu Changsheng's injuries were healing at an astonishing speed.
