Chapter 116: He Junli’s punishment

——(POV Li Huang, about to show a spoiled brat her place)——

"Why have you all gathered here?" He Junli said. The way she asked us showed me that she doesn\'t have a shred of guilt about her actions.

I could sense that Zheng Jingyi\'s blood was boiling because of her answer. He was about to use his staff to show He Junli her place but I stopped him as it wasn\'t the right thing to do at the moment.

~\'Let me handle her, you are angry and will only make it worse for yourself.\'~ I sent him a sound transmission. I hoped that he would at least consider my offer, luckily he did.

~\'And what if I am not satisfied with the result?\'~ Zheng Jingyi asked back. I couldn\'t blame him as he might have thought I\'m taking her side as our sects are allied but he couldn\'t be more wrong about this. This girl started her bullshit by throwing shade at my father and now have proved herself to be a complete idiot.

~\'You can throw her in the beast horde for all I care.\'~ I told him with a shrug. I wanted to make it impossible for He Junli to use Zheng Jingyi\'s anger to her advantage and show herself as the victim.

Zheng Jingyi looked at me and gave me a small nod.

Seeing that he was calmer now, I started with my own plan.

"Was your rest sufficient?" I answered her question with one of my own. As most of the holy lands had someone here I wanted her to lose reputation and lose face for the White Moon sect.

He Junli looked at me weirdly for a moment as she thought I might have come here to reprehend her not to have a small talk.

"…It was good.?" she answered but wasn\'t sure if I was asking her seriously.

"I see. Was that the reason that your support decreased? They wanted you to have a nice sleep?" I asked her with the kindest smile that I could muster. Well, given the situation it wasn\'t my best smile.

Her fellow disciples tensed up for a moment and that gave everyone the answer to my question.

\'So they really did do that…\' I really couldn\'t comprehend what was going on He Junli\'s mind to come up with this plan. A cultivator needs less sleep so she must have some stupid reason for needing rest when she could have waited just a few more hours.

——(POV third person)——

Yuan Yunyu who couldn\'t just stand and see her senior sister get questioned decided to stand up for her by talking back.

"Ho—" She wanted to tell Li Huang that he shouldn\'t talk to her senior sister like that and he would have to pay for doing so, but the words got stuck in her throat.

The moment she wanted to insert herself into the conversation, a powerful pressure was put on her. The source of this pressure was Hu Anjing and Li Wanrou who looked at her simultaneously. They didn\'t like that this girl thought she has the qualification to talk in this situation so they didn\'t go easy on her. The sound that Yuan Yunyu made was interpreted as a funny noise by others as they didn\'t know that she was scared.

She knew that those two won\'t hesitate to strike her if she dared to talk again so she closed her mouth.

"Is that why you have come here?" He Junli who was unaware of this continued answering Li Huang. She didn\'t like that she was being questioned like she has done something wrong.

Li Huang who have felt that Li Wanrou and Hu Anjing were ready to attack moments ago didn\'t beat around the bushes anymore and got to the point.

"Two disciples have died in this beast horde attack because you retreated to the inner wall when you should have stayed and let the others retreat first." Li Huang said. He told her what part of the rules she has broken so that she can understand it easier.

"How is that possible? All the disciples from the seven holy lands should have been carrying life-saving treasures." He Junli was baffled as she didn\'t expect this. She knew that if it is a disciple from one of the holy lands she would be in big trouble.

Li Huang was stunned by how He Junli\'s mind worked. She didn\'t even care that she broke a rule, she just wanted to make sure that she can handle that backlash easily.

"…They were not from the seven holy lands." Li Huang said and he knew where He Junli was going with this question. He would not call himself a righteous person but what he could see in He Junli was a scum.

"A shame. Our White Moon sect would send their families some compensation, is that enough for you?" He Junli said like it was nothing. She was glad that this matter is easily handled using some money and she is not in trouble.

Zheng Jingyi who heard this was about to lash out at her but Cai ZhenKang stopped him this time. Cai ZhenKang wasn\'t one known for being logical but he saw something that guaranteed to him that He Junli would get her punishment.

"Wait a moment." He said.

Cai ZhenKang saw Li Huang laughing softly. From all the interactions that Cai ZhenKang had with Li Huang in all these years, he knew that Li Huang would only laugh softly like this when he is pissed off.

Well, Cai ZhenKang would know this because he was the number one thing that would piss Li Huang off all these years.

"Compensation huh…" Li Huang said and started walking toward He Junli.

\'So she thinks she can do whatever the fuck she wants just because she can pay the compensation?\' Li Huang thought, He also had enough money.

"W—What are you doing?" He Junli got scared a little as he could see that Li Huang was angry.

Her fellow disciples tried to defend their senior sister as they took out their weapons, but they were subdued by the pressure that Li Wanrou and Hu Anjing put on them. They gave Yuan Yunyu special treatment as they both had their weapons on her neck and were ready to finish her if it came to that.

"So you are saying that I can kill you and I just have to pay the compensation?" Li Huang said with a pondering look on his face.

He Junli was dumbfounded by this development, she would have never thought that her fellow disciples would be stopped this easily but she didn\'t lose her cool.

"You can\'t, our white moon sect wouldn\'t let you go after you dare to touch me." He Junli said.

Li Huang didn\'t let her continue with her self-absorbed words. As he is way stronger than her, he easily stood in front of her and lifted her from her neck. He was using Qi to help lift her so that she can feel the suffocation build up slowly but do not actually suffocate.

"What about now?" Li Huang said with the same smile that he had a minute ago. He wanted to let her know who she was talking to.

"Y—You. My grandmaster wouldn\'t let you go if you don\'t put me down!" He Junli didn\'t know what to do. Her best bet was to use her grandmaster or Li Huang\'s grandmother as she knew that they didn\'t have a good relationship.

Li Huang gave her a \'really, bitch?\' look.

"Me and my grandmother don\'t have a good relationship but what do you think would happen when my grandmother finds out that her own grand disciple could have gotten her grandson killed?" Li Huang said.

"At that time would I have to compensate your family and sect for your death or she has to compensate me for your existence in this trial? Either way, it is not a problem for me." Li Huang didn\'t let her retort him and continued. If there was a list of the top 100 richest people in the world, Li Huang would be on that list.

He waited for a few seconds and let his words sink in.

"But don\'t worry, I won\'t kill you." Li Huang said with an amiable smile.

"I will let you see how all you have built can crumble with this mistake." Li Huang told her. Now that all the geniuses of the younger generation of the divine central continent knew about what she did, the future didn\'t look bright for her. Taking the means to be arrogant from someone like her is the best punishment for them.

Li Huang let go of her neck and started walking back to get to the outer walls. After a couple of steps, he stopped and turned to He Junli.

"Oh, and if your mistake cost one more life you can be sure that I will be coming for you." He said and went back with others to the other walls.
