The righteous path punishes Heaven

Chapter 30 Yin-Yang Division

"Fellow disciples, follow me and capture this villain!" With the command of the leading senior brother, hundreds of Qiankun Dao disciples charged towards Zhang Yunling, each carrying a different killing move.

Faced with such a life-or-death crisis, Zhang Yunling had little time to think. He suddenly exerted force with his legs and activated the Divine Speed ​​Ghost Step. In a flash, Zhang Yunling broke through the encirclement and rushed into the crowd to escape.

Seeing that their encirclement had failed, the other disciples reacted quickly and continued to pursue Zhang Yunling. Each of them used their best skills, changing their spells and unleashing a barrage of magic. The training ground, which had already been destroyed in the previous battle, was now bombarded to pieces by these magical attacks.

The aftershocks of these spells had already burned Zhang Yunling's clothes to shreds, but he couldn't care less about that at the moment, and he frantically ran outside without stopping for a moment.

Desperate situations can stimulate a person's potential and limits. The Swift Ghost Step, which had been stuck at the first level for a long time, now showed signs of further progress. The legs that had been swinging and leaving afterimages were now slowly sinking into the ground. In Zhang Yunling's eyes, his height was constantly getting shorter and his perspective was gradually lowering, as if he was being slowly dragged into a quagmire.

"What's going on? Could I have been attacked again?" Zhang Yunling was extremely anxious. The spells behind him never stopped, relentlessly pursuing him. Although he didn't feel any attack, his body was falling towards the ground against his will.

A few breaths later, not far from the exit of the outer gate of Qiankun Dao, Zhang Yunling completely disappeared from everyone's sight. The inner disciples who were chasing after him looked at the spot where Zhang Yunling disappeared in astonishment.

The eldest disciple of the inner sect rushed to the front and shouted, "Xu Tianli must have used some secret technique to hide himself underground. All disciples, let's cast a spell together to force him out!"

At the senior brother's command, everyone unleashed their magical attacks, heading straight for the spot where Zhang Yunling had disappeared. They blasted a crater several feet deep into the ground, but found no trace of him. This situation left everyone stunned, unsure what to do.

Zhang Yunling himself had already escaped to the outer gate of Qiankun Dao and was running towards the mountain gate. Only now did he realize that the reason he had escaped was because he had gained a new understanding of the Divine Movement Ghost Step and had already begun to understand the "Ghost Step" in the second level.

Ghost Steps is walking like a ghost, and ghosts usually emerge from underground, which is why Zhang Yunling was able to disappear underground while speeding.

"I can't stay in Qiankun Dao any longer. I have to get rid of my identity as Xu Tianli and rejoin another cultivator sect to avoid trouble." Zhang Yunling ripped off his identity token from his waist, squeezed it hard, and the jade token shattered instantly, along with the divine sense power within it.

As the disciples on guard at the mountain gate saw Zhang Yunling rushing towards them, they stepped forward warily to stop him. One of the disciples shouted, "Stop! You need to show your identity jade token if you want to leave the sect!"

Zhang Yunling was too busy escaping to care about anything else. He threw the broken jade tablet in his hand at the disciple's face and ran quickly, breaking through the blockade of several people to reach the outside of the mountain gate.

"Damn it, what are you all standing there for? Get him!" The disciple angrily wiped the broken jade from his face and chased after Zhang Yunling.

The moment he stepped out of the mountain gate, he broke free from the anti-air domain set up by Qiankun Dao. Zhang Yunling immediately activated his cultivation and took a step forward, flying away into the distance.

These Qiankun Dao disciples guarding the gate were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, with the lowest being at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. However, they still couldn't catch up with Zhang Yunling, who was fleeing using the Divine Speed ​​Ghost Step. In the end, they could only let him escape, watching his gradually blurring figure and sighing helplessly.

Among the inner disciples, those who failed to capture Zhang Yunling were also extremely frustrated, gritting their teeth and cursing him for daring to harm the sect leader of Qiankun Dao, leaving him missing to this day.

The soul lamp belonging to Lin Jiangcheng, which had been placed in the Elders' Hall, went out completely with Zhang Yunling's departure. Elder Li Jin, seeing this, hurriedly shouted, "Oh no! The Sect Master's soul lamp has gone out! Could it be that he has already...?"

The Grand Elder of the Alchemy Room, Sun Fuling, pointed to an extinguished soul lamp and shouted to the other elders, "The Holy Maiden's soul lamp went out long ago, and the Sect Master's soul lamp is now lifeless. I'm afraid he's in grave danger, with no chance of survival..."

Just then, Elder Wang broke the commotion by pointing at the noisy disciples outside and shouting, "Stop talking about this! The disciples outside are in chaos, threatening to split up!"

"What?!" These old fellows with profound cultivation were so shocked by the series of bad news that they rushed outside to check, following Elder Wang.

Sure enough, they saw an inner female disciple stepping on another disciple, shouting, "I'm telling you now, from now on in the Qiankun Dao, we are Qian, we are light and justice!"

Elder Wang looked closely and saw that the female disciple was none other than Dong Wan, a fifth-level alchemist who had been eliminated in the sect competition.

"How dare you! What are you trying to do? Are you planning a rebellion? Is this how you repay the sect after it has provided you with resources for cultivation and offered you protection?!" Sun Fuling shouted at Dong Wan and her disciples, his words filled with praise for the kindness and protection that Qiankun Dao had shown them.

These words, however, did not cause any ripples in the ears of Dong Wan and the others. Dong Wan was already somewhat annoyed and directly interrupted them:

"Qiankun Dao has provided us with cultivation resources, but haven't we given back enough? We inner disciples have to go out every month to carry out various dangerous missions dispatched by the sect, but the rewards we receive are meager. Some disciples have even lost their lives in the wilderness, and which elder will collect their bodies? Meanwhile, the direct descendants of those elders are still arrogant and domineering within the sect, bullying us ordinary disciples who have no power or influence. Does anyone care? You exploit us disciples and enjoy the contributions we make, and even so, the so-called Qiankun Dao Sect is actually at the bottom of the hierarchy. It's just an empty shell with the name of one of the three major Dao Sects, all show and no substance, and its internal structure is rotten to the core! Today, I, Dong Wan, will liberate the people and completely overthrow your corrupt Elder Council!"

As Dong Wan's resounding voice rang out, the hundreds of disciples behind her responded in unison, raising their weapons and magical artifacts high above their heads and shouting in unison:

"We want democracy! We want justice!"

This uprising of disciples against the sect's higher-ups began in a farcical manner.
