Lin Qi, who had been strangled and suspended in mid-air, suddenly lost her restraint and fell to the ground.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Elder Yue Chang with his gray hair and long beard, who had appeared on the ice path at some point. Everyone simultaneously bowed their heads in respect.

"Long live the elders!"

>Elder Yue, raising a sleeve, said, "No need for formalities, what happened here?!"

The sect leader's anger was palpable. He immediately complained, “Elder Yue, this disciple deliberately destroyed the ice wall and, to make matters worse, has a defiant attitude, showing no remorse whatsoever! She even dares to call for you to come see her!”

Tan Yueqing knew Lin Qi's slow reaction and inability to argue effectively. He took the lead and walked out first.

"The Elder, everything is based on this senior brother's one-sided words. Lin Qi accidentally bumped into an ice wall, and he immediately claimed that Lin Qi seriously violated the sect rules and wanted to expel her from Li Bing Shen Yuan."

Chen En also stepped forward to add, "Xiao Qi refused to be driven out in such a haphazard manner, so she requested Elder Yue to give her a fair judgment. As a result, this senior brother said that Lin Qi, being just a young disciple, should simply be expelled without bothering the elder. There are many talented disciples in the sect, so they wouldn't miss one like her."

Isn't that confusing right and wrong, black and white?

What's with all the blabbering?!

Chen En dragged everyone as witnesses, "With so many disciples present, they can all be witnesses. We haven't lied, just ask!"

When they were finished speaking, Lin Qi slowly opened her mouth: "Elder Yue, we are all new to the Ice Abyss. We are not very familiar with many of the rules."

“Last time, Chen En was invaded by cold air because he forgot to take the Fire Spirit Flower. He immediately warned us and said that after three warnings, he would kick us out of the Lu Bing Abyss.”

Today I just brushed against that ice wall, the wall collapsed and of course I'm responsible for it. But I don't believe the sect rules are so heartless, that they would directly expel me from the Lu Bing Abyss just because of my careless mistake.

Lin Qi crawled up from the ground and respectfully bowed.

"If the sect rules truly are as such, then Lin Qi will accept the punishment. However, Lin Qi wants to know, is there really a rule in the sect, or is this managing cultivator acting on their own, arbitrarily and oppressing other disciples!"

Lin Qi stayed here for a month and witnessed two batches of disciples being bullied by this managing cultivator.

Whenever the young disciples who came in had a question, he was too lazy to respond. If they asked too much, he would give them a cold stare and be sarcastic.

If a disciple makes a mistake, it's even worse.

He immediately started berating me, refusing to listen to any explanation. Now that he has a little bit of power, he acts as if he's the boss of this whole place.

Many disciples disliked him, but they dared not openly contradict him because the Ice Abyss was the territory of the Ice Frost Peak.

Elder Yue frowned and pondered for a few seconds before turning to the managing cultivator and asking, "Is this really true?"

The manager of the cultivators pointed at Lin Qi and his group, angrily scolding: "Nonsensical! Elder Yue, don't listen to their rambling!"

>The Elder Yue Chang ignored the words of Lin Qi and his group, as well as the instructions from the managing cultivators.

He first inquired around the surrounding cultivators, confirming the conversation between the two, and then ran to the collapsed ice wall to inspect it.

"Finally, the result was reached: 'Lin Qi hasn't violated any sect rules and doesn't need to be expelled from Lu Bing Shen Yuan.'"

Then, he cast a meaningful glance at the managing cultivator.

"This matter is also my fault. From tomorrow, I will have people carve the rules of the Lubei Abyss onto the ice wall at the entrance. Anyone who violates them will be punished according to the rules."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up. She had been waiting for this sentence, "What if I was wrongly punished before?"

Elder Yue looked at her unusually bright eyes, then disappointedly glanced at the managing cultivators around him.

"Come to my place and defend yourself!"

At this moment, the cultivators on the ice rink couldn't help but get excited.

"Thank you, Elder Yue!"

Seeing the endless stream of thanks, Elder Yue Chang realized just how many people the management of the cultivators had offended.

When I looked at him again, my eyes couldn't help but turn colder.

"Come out with me!"

The managers of the monks didn't actually think this was a big deal, at most they would just say he made a misjudgment. Could they possibly fire him for it?

But he still honestly followed Elder Yue.

Only when everyone had left did he step forward and plead for mercy.

"Elder, I was wrong today. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me. I will definitely be more careful in the future."

Saying that, he couldn't help but complain.

"These disciples are getting more and more arrogant nowadays. Even I, as a managing cultivator, can't even say two words. The Ice Abyss is meant to be a place for cultivation, yet this little girl doesn't focus on training but instead forms factions here, leading people to resist the managing cultivators."

"And Tan Yueqing as well, she is a disciple of my Lu Bingfeng. How can she be here speaking up for these outsiders? If it weren't for these disciples from the outer peaks coming to grab spots, the disciples of my Lu Bingfeng wouldn't have to fight tooth and nail for them."

"Using the resources of my Lu Bingfeng and still so arrogant, you are truly blind to yourself and beyond reproach!"

"Be quiet!" the elder roared, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Who have you said these words to?" Elder Yin's face was gloomy as he stared at him.

The manager stammered in fright, "I, I only said a few words in front of you. I wouldn't spread them outside."

Yue Changlao sneered, "You haven't gone completely stupid. You also know what to say and what not to say."

The managing cultivator plastered on a smile and fished out a few high-grade cold stones from his pouch, handing them over.

"Elder Yue, this is a small matter. Children always make a big fuss out of little things. Just consider it as if you haven't seen it. I will definitely be more careful in the future."

"What about the future? Who told you there's a future?"

The administrator's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?! You wouldn't punish me for such a small matter, would you?"

Elder Yue leaned against the wall, speaking slowly: “Who do you think is the one who drove you out of the Frozen Abyss today? And how do you think she entered the Frozen Abyss?”

"Impossible, this year's promising disciple in the sect doesn't include this little one, does it?"

Though the cultivators dared to act arrogantly within the Ice Path, they were not mindless fools.

They all have a list in their hands.

Who can be offended and who cannot, they all have a clear idea in their minds.

Elder Yue glanced at her with indifference. "She is the new second disciple of Qingyun Zhenjun from Longlei Peak."

She got a spot in the Lu Bing Shen Yuan competition because Elder Lu, being a Golden Core cultivator, bullied her, a Qi Refining disciple. Qing Yun Zhenjun protected his disciple, and our Peak Lord felt ashamed of this situation, so he gave up two spots.

The cultivator's face had turned as white as paper, devoid of any trace of blood.

Isn't what he did today exactly the same as what Elder Lu did?

Suddenly, he remembered that Elder Jùnǎo was recently caught smuggling medicinal pills and imprisoned in Shòulì Fēng.
