The Legend of the Netherworld

Senior Brother Ye Xuan rushed to the scene with Yuan Hong, scanning the crowd with sharp eyes, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly stagnated. Yuan Hong initially planned to look for Sister Lin Jiao, but learned that Sister Lin Jiao was in seclusion. He explained the situation to Senior Brother Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan hurried over with Yuan Hong.

Ye Xuan is the eldest disciple of the master and has a great reputation. When everyone saw him coming, they saluted and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Ye." Ye Xuan nodded slightly and walked to the center of the field.

"All irrelevant personnel, disperse. Violators will be punished by ten days of confinement," Ye Xuan said calmly, her tone carrying undeniable authority. Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately dispersed, and in a moment, only the parties involved were left at the scene.

Ye Xuan turned to Zhang Ning and Lin Qing. Just as Zhang Ning was about to explain, Ye Xuan interrupted him with a wave of her hand: "I know everything about what happened. Zhang Lin attacked a fellow disciple and was sentenced to one year of confinement. He is not allowed to leave the Tianji Pavilion during this year.

Lin Xiao and Yu Sheng's private fight had a detrimental effect, and they were sentenced to two months of solitary confinement at their respective factions. Lin Qing, Zhang Ning, Wang Hao, Yuan Hong, and Liu Yi were sentenced to ten days of solitary confinement for causing trouble.

His tone was neither hurried nor slow, and his composure carried an irresistible majesty. It seemed like a casual judgment, yet it was rigorous and fair, leaving no room for anyone to argue. Although this approach was a "fighting 50 lashes" approach, no one could refute it, and it left everyone speechless.

"I will inform your master of your punishment one by one. Now everyone should go back to where you came from." Ye Xuan continued, her expression stern and impartial attitude making people dare not say more.

After all, this place wasn't far from the Tianji Pavilion, and any further provocation would only complicate matters. Zhang Ning and Lin Qing exchanged a glance, realizing that Ye Xuan was also trying to help Lin Xiao out, so they hesitated to say anything more.

Zhang Ning turned and walked away, while Yu Sheng quickly left the scene with the still unconscious Zhang Lin. Lin Qing and Liu Yi also prepared to return to Baicao Garden. Lin Xiao, filled with gratitude, hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Lin Qing, for your help. I'm sorry for causing you trouble today."

Lin Qing looked at Lin Xiao and smiled faintly: "It's okay. When the strong bully the weak, we should take action. Isn't the purpose of cultivation to help the weak and fight against the strong? No matter who is involved in today's matter, I will take action. After the confinement is over, you can come to Baicao Garden to play again at any time." After that, he turned around and left with Liu Yi.

Wang Yiming and Yuan Hong also said goodbye to Lin Xiao and followed Lin Qing out, leaving Lin Xiao alone. Lin Xiao knew in his heart that if Senior Brother Ye Xuan had not arrived in time, the matter would never have been resolved so smoothly.

Just as he was about to thank Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan didn't give him a chance and simply said, "Go to Xuelin House and get two new Taoist robes. You don't look like a disciple of Feng Shui Academy at all."

After saying that, Ye Xuan took off into the air and her figure quickly disappeared into the sky, leaving only these words echoing in Lin Xiao's ears.

Lin Xiao looked down at his charred and tattered robes and couldn't help but let out a wry smile. He rubbed his head, thinking that he was indeed in a rather awkward position. He waved in the direction Ye Xuan left, turned silently, and walked towards Xuelin House to get some new clothes.

After nearly a year, Lin Xiao once again walked into Xuelin House. This time, Xuelin House was no longer as bustling as before, but seemed particularly deserted. The yard was silent, with only the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind.

Lin Xiao pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the steward in charge of Taoist robes, he briefly explained his need for new robes. The steward glanced up and immediately smiled warmly. "Oh, I still remember you, Lin Xiao, right? And Lin Jiao," he said, then turned around and took out three brand new Taoist robes from the cabinet and handed them to Lin Xiao.

"I'm giving you an extra one. Don't be embarrassed to come and get it again when it wears out." The manager said with a smile.

Lin Xiao bowed in thanks, took his Taoist robe, and left Xuelin House, feeling a sense of emotion. When he first came here, it was bustling with new disciples, but now it seemed so deserted. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace and head back to the back mountain.

As soon as he arrived at the back mountain, he saw the dirty Taoist priest standing by the well, drawing water from it. Seeing Lin Xiao coming back, the dirty Taoist priest glanced at him. Seeing his tattered Taoist robe and dusty face, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if with a hint of ridicule: "How is it? Did you win or lose?"

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly: "It's not over yet, but if he continues, he won't end up well."

The dirty Taoist snorted coldly and said mercilessly: "If you don't win, you lose! Now I punish you by not allowing you to leave the mountain for six months."

Lin Xiao retorted unwillingly: "The other party is at the Ding Chou Sixth Realm."

"You still dare to quibble?" The dirty Taoist frowned and increased the punishment. "Then I'll fine you one year!"

Lin Xiao was dissatisfied and secretly cursed the dirty Taoist for being unkind, but he knew that arguing further would only cause more trouble, so he shut up angrily, quietly returned to his thatched hut, and changed into a new Taoist robe.

After changing into his Taoist robes, Lin Xiao immediately plunged into his daily training. However, ever since the Dirty Taoist discovered his invincible body, Lin Xiao's training had been expanded to include a new activity: fighting the Dirty Taoist. The Dirty Taoist showed no mercy, each attack coming with all his might, as if he were dealing with a mortal enemy. Lin Xiao's invincible body became his perfect "human punching bag."

During this period, Lin Xiao's daily training undoubtedly became extraordinarily thrilling. Almost every fight ended with him being sent flying or rolling on the ground. Every punch and palm strike from the dirty Taoist priest was incredibly ferocious, but Lin Xiao never flinched. Whenever he was knocked down, he would quickly get up and fight again.

For the dirty Taoist priest, this kind of fight was also an extremely exhilarating experience. After all, he had a punching bag before him that he could unleash his full might without any scruples, and that was something he never tired of. The two of them, one venting their frustrations while the other fought again and again despite repeated defeats, had formed a strange tacit understanding.

Two months flew by in this near-frenzied sparring training. One day, after a fierce battle, Lin Xiao dragged his exhausted body to sit cross-legged, eyes closed, and regulated his breathing. Suddenly, he felt a surge of spiritual energy from the secular world entering his body. The energy in his dantian surged like a tide, as if it was about to break through a new barrier.

Lin Xiao was delighted, he realized that he was about to make another breakthrough.
