Junior sister, I really need to control you.

On Bamboo Forest Peak, in the central bamboo house of Shouyi Temple.

Without the roof, the deacon surnamed Xu and the deputy abbot Zhao could see Li Yinsheng in the air as soon as they looked up.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

They had only been talking for half a minute when the roof suddenly disappeared without warning, and they had no idea what had happened.

What kind of magic is this? Using it to ambush fellow practitioners, wouldn't it make it impossible to defend against?

"Fellow Daoist Li...!" The cultivator surnamed Xu snapped out of his daze, frowning and shouting, "This is the temporary encampment of my Shouyi Temple. You suddenly damaged our temple's buildings without a word. What is your intention?!"

Despite his scolding, he patted his Qiankun bag as he spoke, taking out more than ten yellow talismans and surrounding himself with them, transforming them into a glittering golden protective barrier.

The deputy abbot beside him was even more exaggerated, with countless yellow talismans pasted on his body, making his Taoist robe look like a garment made of countless yellow talismans.

"Fellow Daoist Li of Xuanzhen Temple, is that it?" Vice Abbot Zhao's red beard trembled as he angrily said, "Isn't this far too rude of you?"

"I was merely greeting you two fellow Daoists; how was I being rude?"

Li Yinsheng chuckled as he tossed down a figure.

"If we're talking about rudeness, then you two fellow Daoists, with your Yin Ling disciples, are deliberately targeting the stewards of my Xuanzhen Temple. Who can compare to your rudeness?"

The figure that Li Yinsheng had thrown down slammed heavily onto the ground of the bamboo house, twitched twice, and although he was not dead, he was barely breathing.

"This is..." Vice Abbot Zhao stared at the blood-stained face for a moment before recognizing her, "Fu Shuo?"

This person was the direct disciple of one of his junior sisters surnamed Yang, and he had some impression of him. However, he disliked this person because of his mean and domineering personality.

Upon seeing the man being thrown down and hearing Li Yinsheng's words, Vice Abbot Zhao immediately realized what was happening.

It must be that good-for-nothing fool who went to test that female cultivator from Xuanzhen Temple, but he was blind and ran into Li Yinsheng's hands. He was tortured and sold out.

Otherwise, why would Li Yinsheng have started by saying "disciple of Yin Ling"?

But even if it has been exposed, it cannot be admitted, otherwise it will not stand up to scrutiny.

The situation would change directly from "Li Yinsheng is narrow-minded and protective of his own, and comes to cause trouble over a minor conflict between juniors" to "Shouyi Temple deliberately targets the small Taoist temple, and people come to demand justice."

Vice Abbot Zhao immediately retorted, "Fellow Daoist Li, stop making baseless accusations and defaming someone's reputation!"

"When this person confessed, it was next to the stall selling training materials at Huangzhu Temple. Besides the stall owner, there were also many cultivators who came to watch the excitement. Many people should have heard it," Li Yinsheng said.

Vice Abbot Zhao looked at Fu Shuo, his face turning ashen.

Confessing is one thing, but why did you have to confess in public?!

He tried to delay any longer, but Li Yinsheng shook his head and interrupted him.

"Forget it, I didn't come here to present evidence and reason with you anyway. The evidence is already conclusive, so why argue anymore?"

Li Yinsheng's words were definitive, and Vice Abbot Zhao naturally wanted to refute them. However, he was surprised to find that Li Yinsheng seemed to be speaking with some kind of strange divine power, and he was unable to interrupt him. He could only listen quietly.

What the hell? Why can't people speak? What kind of magic is this?!

Vice Abbot Zhao was filled with doubt and apprehension.

"Fellow Daoist, have you come here so rudely today just to throw a bucket of dirty water on my Shouyi Temple? Shouyi Temple will remember this..."

Vice Abbot Zhao was interrupted by Li Yinsheng halfway through his speech.

"I have come here today to demand an explanation from you all."

Li Yinsheng didn't bother with any more words. When he arrived, he overheard the two scheming against him in the house and openly coveting the spiritual vein of Xuanzhen Temple.

There's no point in reasoning with this kind of person.

He had just obtained two magic net artifacts from the deputy abbot of Huanghe Temple, but after refining them, he had never had the chance to use them.

Li Yinsheng took out the two nets from his Qiankun bag with some anticipation and threw them down.

The moment the silk handkerchief-sized net was released, it suddenly unfolded in the air, transforming into two large nets several feet in diameter, which covered the head!

Shouyi and the other two were greatly alarmed. Countless yellow talismans flew out from their hands, either exploding or igniting in bursts of flame on the net that was covering them, or attempting to unravel the net with their sharp, cold light.

However, these talisman attacks would be instantly neutralized as soon as they landed on the net.

Seeing that the talismans in their hands were useless against the Net, both of them chose to escape, but the Net swiftly swept them up and trapped them within it.

The moment they were caught in the net, the two felt their magical power stagnate and their divine sense could not be activated. Even the protective talismans lost their light and shattered into dust in an instant.

At this moment, let alone mobilizing their cultivation to fight back, they even felt their limbs were weak and powerless, enveloped in this state, and even moving a finger was a luxury.

"Not bad." Li Yinsheng nodded in satisfaction.

Although he cast two nets, he only used one to catch the two people, and then he took the other one back into his hand.

But he didn't put the net back; instead, he looked at other locations within the Shouyi Temple's outpost.

The deputy abbot and deacons were in the center, and the four sides were the living quarters of the disciples of Shouyi Temple.

The commotion had already drawn many people out to investigate, only to find their steward and deputy abbot captured in one fell swoop.

Li Yinsheng flicked his finger, and the net flew out. Instead of opening, it shot out countless fine threads, directly entangling the Shouyi Temple disciples who were either reacting or still in shock, pulling them all into the net.

Although formal disciples are only given one year of cultivation, personal disciples are only given three years, and direct disciples are only given ten years, every little bit counts, and Li Yinsheng doesn't mind.

Of course, each reward can only be claimed once, so theoretically he only needs to capture one disciple of each level.

However, the problem isn't scarcity but inequality; it's better to distribute resources equally.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Shouyi Temple compound was cleared out. One large net held the stewards and deputy abbot, while another, much larger than the central bamboo house, held all the Shouyi Temple disciples.

Mu Xiaoyu, who had been following behind Li Yinsheng, had a series of flashing eyes.

She was both a little afraid of making too much of a fuss and couldn't help but get excited.

Wow, senior brother is amazing! He can easily defeat so many people all by himself!

Fu He landed, and Li Yinsheng led Mu Xiaoyu down.

The Xu family steward and the Zhao family vice abbot were both shrewd individuals in the net. However, after being caught in the net for a while, their eyes had become much clearer, unlike the disciples who were caught in the net and were screaming in panic.

"Senior, Senior!" Vice Abbot Zhao cried out to Li Yinsheng, prostrating himself on the ground, "This junior was blind to your greatness! I apologize to you, Senior!"

"Yes, yes, senior, my senior brother and I apologize to you," the deacon surnamed Xu chimed in. "Please, be magnanimous and let us off this time!"

"You shouldn't apologize to me, you should apologize to my junior sister," Li Yinsheng shook his head. "Thanks to you two, my junior sister has suffered a lot of bullying."

"Isn't it just Fu Shuo? I only arrived this evening, and the order was just given not long ago," the deputy abbot thought to himself.

Regardless of what he thought, he dared not openly talk back and quickly apologized to Mu Xiaoyu.

Although it was extremely shameful to apologize to a teenage girl, the person in front of him was so powerful that he didn't dare to use his identity as the Shouyi Temple to threaten Li Yinsheng into releasing him.

What a joke! Did Li Yinsheng not know they were from Shouyi Temple before he made his move?

If the reputation of Shouyi Temple intimidated this hothead, would he have taken action directly?

Faced with two pitiful old men apologizing to her, Mu Xiaoyu felt conflicted.

With their cultivation sealed and their movements restricted, Deacon Xu and Vice Abbot Zhao looked quite disheveled, resembling two ordinary old men.

Even though she knew neither of them were good people, Mu Xiaoyu still couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.

"Senior brother?" she grabbed Li Yinsheng's sleeve. "What do you think we should do with them?"

"In my opinion, a small punishment is enough to serve as a warning."

Li Yinsheng took out a thunder talisman from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Mu Xiaoyu: "Here, throw this thunder talisman at them and those Shouyi Temple disciples, just to teach them a lesson."

Vice Abbot Zhao was immediately filled with terror, writhing and struggling in the net: "No, Senior! No! We'll die! Our cultivation is restricted, we have no protective abilities whatsoever, this lightning talisman will definitely kill us!"

"Don't worry, it's just a low-grade lightning talisman, you won't die," Li Yinsheng said kindly, showing great compassion.

The lineage has strict rules and regulations; if someone were to die, things would get very serious.

It's mainly the people at Huanghe Temple who don't know to buy better talismans.

Mu Xiaoyu hesitated, "Senior brother, wouldn't using a thunder talisman be too much? I think these people are a bit wicked, but they don't seem to be that bad yet..."

She pursed her lips, her face full of conflict. For a noblewoman raised in the mortal world, throwing lightning talismans at a group of people was still a bit too exciting.

Li Yinsheng smiled, bent down slightly, and whispered in Mu Xiaoyu's ear, "Junior sister, they are just bad guys who want to steal our Xuanzhen Peak."

Mu Xiaoyu's expression changed, and she activated the thunder talisman in her palm with a burst of magic power, throwing it over to Vice Abbot Zhao in his despairing gaze.

"Boom—"

Countless bright blue lightning snakes slithered along the threads of the net, and in the blink of an eye, all the Shouyi Temple cultivators shrouded in the net were bathed in the lightning pool.

Screams echoed throughout the room.

At the same time, a resounding, majestic sound echoed in Li Yinsheng's mind.

[Congratulations to the Lord of the Grotto-Heaven! In less than three years, through arduous and extraordinary efforts, you have partially completed your revenge, defeating the formal disciples, personal disciples, direct disciples, deacons, and deputy abbot of Shouyi Temple. This reward is ninety-four years of cultivation. Please cultivate and claim it yourself.]

Standing on the white jade platform in the heart of Dongtian Lake, Li Yinsheng took a light breath.

Ninety-four years—this was the longest single seclusion he had ever done.

His cultivation level was originally over two hundred years, and with these ninety-four years, he will break through the three hundred-year mark!

Three hundred years of cultivation.

Those who can cultivate for three hundred years must be rare even among True Immortals, right?

Moreover, during this period of seclusion, the Go Soul should be able to deduce almost all of the dozen or so formations attached to the Yin Yang Cave Mystery Formation.

When we go out again, we'll have to ask Fellow Daoist Meng for help in getting more books on formations and accumulating more knowledge about formations.
