Everyone held their breath, their gazes fixed on Lin Xuan, waiting for his final decision.
Leng Yue's lips curled into a barely noticeable cold smile as she thought to herself, "Lin Xuan, oh Lin Xuan, you always pride yourself on being upright and just. Let's see how you handle this situation! If you dare to shield Chen Li, I want to see how you explain it to everyone!"
Chen was even more smug, as if he could already envision the scene of Chen Li being severely punished by Lin Xuan, his heart filled with delight.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Lin Xuan did not unleash a storm of fury upon Chen Li as they had hoped. He merely cast a faint glance at Leng Yue and the others, his eyes reflecting disdain and mockery, as if he were looking at a group of clowns.
"You people from the Holy Spirit Palace are truly rotten to the core," Lin Xuan's voice was not loud, yet it resonated like thunder in everyone's ears. "You think you can use my blade to deal with my talented student? What a pipe dream!"
As these words left his mouth, Leng Yue and the others felt as if they had been struck on the head with a heavy blow, frozen in place. They never imagined that Lin Xuan would say such a thing! It was nothing short of a slap in their faces!
Leng Yue's complexion shifted between shades of green and white; she could hardly believe that her meticulously crafted scheme had been so easily dismantled by Lin Xuan. A deep sense of unwillingness and helplessness surged within her.
In stark contrast to the Holy Spirit Palace members, the students of the Imperial Academy were filled with excitement. They looked at Lin Xuan with expressions of joy.
Lin Xuan was usually strict and unyielding, never allowing any student to overstep their bounds; even the slightest mistake would result in severe punishment. Especially for words spoken by someone like Chen Li, which would be considered disrespectful to their ancestors—under normal circumstances, such an offense could lead to the destruction of one's dantian and expulsion from the sect.
But now, Lin Xuan had actually protected Chen Li!
It was unexpected—truly unexpected! Clearly, during this time, Junior Brother Chen Li had subtly influenced their mentor.
Feeling the relaxed demeanor of their instructor, everyone began to cheer:
"Lin Xuan is mighty!"
"Long live Lin Xuan!"
"Thanks to Junior Brother Chen Li, we have such a wonderful mentor!"
Hearing the students' cheers, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on Lin Xuan's lips.
He turned his head to look at Chen Li, his eyes filled with a resolute protective light.
"Chen Li, don't worry, you're doing great."
Saying this, Lin Xuan reached out and patted Chen Li's shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Remember, at the Imperial Academy, no one can bully you. If anyone dares to touch a hair on your head, I won't let them off easily!"
"Thank you, Master!" Chen Li felt warmth in his heart and quickly bowed in gratitude. He understood that Lin Xuan's protection stemmed from their interactions since entering the Azure Wind Mountain Range.
On the surface, Master Lin Xuan seemed old-fashioned, but in reality, he was a very fair-minded person. With someone like him around, the Imperial Academy would surely thrive!
"What do you mean by that, Lin Xuan?" Leng Yue finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked through gritted teeth. "Are you really going to oppose us at the Holy Spirit Palace just for Chen Li?"
Oppose? Lin Xuan laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. "We're just speaking the truth! Why should we hand over the spoils just because you claim to have eliminated the Ethereal Spirit? Don't even ask if the Imperial Academy agrees; go ask the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect if they agree!"
Leng Yue trembled with anger, pointing at Lin Xuan but unable to articulate a complete sentence. It seemed unlikely they would get a share of the spoils after all.
Chen Li shared the same sentiment. He knew that continuing to argue would lead nowhere, so he pulled Elder Leng Yue aside and said in a low voice, "Enough, Elder Leng Yue. Even if the things here are good, how can they compare to the inheritance given by Tai Xu Zhenzi? Let's focus on healing for now."
Though reluctant, Leng Yue accepted his words and did not refuse further.
The members of the Holy Spirit Palace left with harsh words and found a secluded spot outside the valley to begin their healing process. After taking several Healing Pills, Chen Li's complexion improved significantly; however, as he looked in the direction where Chen Li had departed, his eyes were filled with malice and resentment, as if he wanted to devour Chen Li whole.
"Elder Leng Yue, once we recover from our injuries, inform Yueyang Elder to make her appearance," Chen Li said in a low voice, carrying an eerie chill. This time presented a great opportunity to deal with that little beast named Chen Li.
Elder Leng Yue's eyelids twitched as she cautiously asked, "Young Master, do you mean..."
"Hmph! We need his bloodline power to enhance our own!" A cruel smile crept across Chen Li's lips as he envisioned Chen Li kneeling at his feet, ready for slaughter.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yue's expression became much more respectful as she quickly agreed.
Meanwhile, Chen Li had traversed deep into the Azure Wind Mountain Range and followed the guidance of the Spirit Seeking Hand to arrive at the location of the Supreme Spirit Crystal Mine.
As the Spirit Seeking Hand faded away, a massive cave appeared before Chen Li. At the entrance of the cave, the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy seemed almost tangible, transforming into wisps of Multicolored Mist that floated in the air, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Is this the Supreme Spirit Crystal Mine? Chen Li took a deep breath, feeling invigorated as if every pore in his body had opened up, greedily absorbing the dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. He couldn't wait to step into the cave, and he was instantly stunned by the sight before him.
The entire cave was enveloped in a dazzling Seven-Colored Radiance, beautiful and dreamlike. At the center of that Seven-Colored Radiance stood a massive Crystal Vein towering dozens of feet high! The Crystal Vein was completely transparent, radiating brilliant light like a gigantic seven-colored diamond embedded within the cave.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed countless tiny runes swirling within the crystalline vein, emanating an enigmatic aura that captivated his heart and mind. Is this the Supreme Spirit Crystal? Truly a rare treasure of heaven and earth! Chen Li couldn't help but exclaim.
He hurried to the vein, reaching out to gently caress its mirror-like surface, feeling the surging energy contained within, excitement bubbling in his heart. With these Supreme Spirit Crystals, I can refine Earth-Level Spirit Talismans!
He could see that Chen had always harbored ill intentions towards him, which was why he had urged his mentor Lin Xuan to ally with Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect. After all, Holy Spirit Palace possessed the strongest power and their cultivation was quite peculiar; relying solely on their own strength would not be sufficient.
Thus, refining Earth-Level Spirit Talismans as soon as possible was truly a means of self-preservation! Moreover, his goals were not limited to just that. Chen thought this was a game between hunter and prey; unfortunately, he had yet to realize who the real prey was!
