Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 864 - 414: The Sect Cannot Be Insulted

As they finally left the Icefield, Zhao Qi asked, "What should we do now?"

"Don’t worry! A hundred years is more than enough! I estimate achieving the Golden Core Realm in just three to five years! With the remaining time, perhaps I can advance even further!"

Li Yunjing chuckled softly to comfort Zhao Qi, and added, "After reaching the Golden Core Realm, my combat power will greatly increase! Going to the Land of the Far North won’t be a problem! And even if it becomes difficult, I can always request assistance from the Sect!"

"Yes! I believe in you!"

A hundred years isn’t too long nor too short of a time, which slightly calmed Zhao Qi.

In such a lengthy period, she could easily break through to the Golden Core Realm; perhaps by reaching the next Great Realm, things might turn around.

"Are we still going to explore the Secret Realm?"

After calming down, Zhao Qi asked.

"Forget it! We’re not going!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand, having lost all interest.

He was already too shocked, leaving no mood to seek fortune anymore.

Besides, the passage to the Secret Realm remains open!

It’s possible that the severe loss of the Celestial Net Dao Sect has already been communicated to the outside world.

If time passes, strong cultivators from the Celestial Net Dao Sect might arrive, and even Master of Fiery Fire may not withstand them!

Having witnessed true powerhouses, Li Yunjing found it hard to trust even the awe-inspiring Nascent Soul Realm Ancestor.

The strength of Master of Fiery Fire may not be enough to ensure their safe departure from the vicinity of Lingyuan Island.

"By the way! Qi’Er, don’t bother reclaiming your assets either! This time, the situation has escalated too much. The Celestial Net Dao Sect might not know about me, but they surely have information about you."

Li Yunjing suddenly recalled something and said.

"Okay! I’ll follow your lead! I’ll give up on those assets!"

Zhao Qi, equally frightened, only considered survival more valuable than anything else and agreed with Li Yunjing’s plan.

"Rest assured! I’ll compensate you for what you’ve lost!"

After making their plan, the two began retracing their steps back.

Both had their attire carefully disguised.

Along the way, they encountered several other cultivators looking to leave the Secret Realm.

Some conflicts arose during this period.

This time, though, Li Yunjing wasn’t in the mood for a massacre; he tolerated as much as possible, and when tolerance hit its limit, he acted decisively without mercy!

After killing some, the nearby cultivators dared not target Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi again.

At the exit of the Secret Realm, there were still more than a hundred from the Celestial Net Dao Sect blockading the place.

Seeing this, Li Yunjing frowned.

"Don’t worry! Every time there’s a visit to the Secret Realm, people from the Celestial Net Dao Sect are at the doorway, collecting tolls—ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones per person! Let’s just pay them and avoid causing trouble here!"

Seeing Li Yunjing’s displeasure, Zhao Qi quickly sent him a mental message.

"Oh! Is that so!"

Li Yunjing nodded, using his Divine Sense to scan the area. Sure enough, some cultivators were lined up ahead, looking distraught as they paid the toll to the Celestial Net Dao Sect’s people.

Of course, not everyone pays!

Some forces appear strong, and when encountering people from the Celestial Net Dao Sect, neither party interferes with the other, letting them pass unimpeded.

"Pay the fee! Ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones per person!"

When it was Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi’s turn, a disciple from the Celestial Net Dao Sect at the entrance stood with his nose in the air, speaking lazily.

"Here! Twenty thousand Spirit Stones for two people!"

Li Yunjing took a deep breath and spoke with a resonant voice.

He tossed a Storage Bag to the person.

The individual received the Storage Bag, checked it over, nodded, and smiled, "Go ahead!"

As for Li Yunjing’s displeased expression?

Such expressions were common! What else could one do?

Each time the Secret Realm opens, the Celestial Net Dao Sect collects nearly a billion Low Grade Spirit Stones!

This is a stable source of income for the Celestial Net Dao Sect!

Otherwise, why would the elders of the Celestial Net Dao Sect be the first to act, opening the passage?

This is to justifiably earn benefits!

The path was opened by our Celestial Net Dao Sect; everyone goes in to gather treasures, so what’s wrong with paying a bit of a toll?

Major sects and large clans may not need to pay!

Other forces, however, can’t! Not paying means instant death!

At the entrance leading to the outside world, lie dozens of corpses!

These people were cultivators killed by the Celestial Net Dao Sect, their bodies left there as a warning for those who consider not paying Spirit Stones!

After accepting the loss of Spirit Stones, Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi reluctantly passed through the light gate, exited the space tunnel, and arrived in the outside world.

Once there, Li Yunjing immediately sent a message to Master of Fiery Fire.

Almost instantly, he received a response.

After checking the information, he looked around and found Master of Fiery Fire’s figure in the northeast corner.

Overjoyed, he quickly sent a message to Zhao Qi, "Follow me!"

Master of Fiery Fire, upon seeing two disguised juniors flying over, slightly probed and saw through their disguise.

"Good lad! You really succeeded!"

Master of Fiery Fire rejoiced, a smile appearing on his face.

As the three gathered, neither Li Yunjing nor Zhao Qi dared to say much, and without inquiry, Master of Fiery Fire signaled with his eyes for them to follow as they left Lingyuan Island first!

Among the crowd, the actions of these three were not conspicuous.

Many who left the Secret Realm were led out of the island by awaiting supporters.

Those who gained benefits naturally wouldn’t linger, lest they meet a deadly fate.

Just as Li Yunjing and the other two flew away from Lingyuan Island and appeared above the sea, they immediately felt a powerful spiritual pressure coming from a hundred miles away!
