In the hall, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The criminal elder sat upright on his head, staring at Ye Jian with a gloomy face, and did not speak for a long time, while Ye Jian stood below and waited quietly.

After a long time, perhaps because he couldn't stand his temper, the criminal elder finally spoke.

"Ye Jian, do you know what you did wrong?"

To Ye Jian's surprise, the criminal elder's voice was a little gentle in his coldness.

"I don't know, please let the criminal elder make a clear statement."

Ye Jian replied softly.

"Hmph! You openly used force within the sect and injured your fellow disciples. This has seriously violated the rules of the sect."

"The disciple knew he was wrong."

Ye Jian bowed his body slightly and said softly.

"Since you know you are wrong, that's fine."

The criminal elder chuckled, and for a moment, Ye Jian had an illusion, as if he had been deceived.

"Given that you had returned to the clan in the past and now you are openly injured by your fellow disciples, I decided to punish you for going to the Hengduan Mountains for half a year, and you are back in half a year. Are you willing?"

Ye Jian was slightly stunned. Although he guessed that the criminal elder would punish him severely, he did not expect that the punishment would be so severe.

The Hengduan Mountains have a unique geographical location and are a large mountain range at the junction of Zhao and Luo Hanguo.

The environment here is extremely harsh, and there are many high-level monsters rampant. Because it is at the junction of the two countries, the situation here is very chaotic, and warriors from Luo Hanguo often cross the border and kill people.

However, if the above mentioned are a lot of troubles, then adding the following troubles will directly turn into disasters.

The Hengduan Mountains have a unique geographical location. In addition to the junction of the two countries, more importantly, it is at the intersection of the fortunes of the Zhao State and Luo Khan State. Therefore, the resources here are rich and there are a large number of spirit stones hidden underground.

The Hengduan Mountains are close to the Nanluo Sect. The Nanluo Sect will definitely not put a piece of fat on its mouth without biting it. After years of accumulation, the Nanluo Sect has already excavated and opened nearly twenty spiritual mines, large and small, in the Hengduan Mountains.

Spirit stones are a common currency on the Tianwu Continent, and spirit stones are convenient things that can restore skills with better effects than elixirs.

Because of the temptation of these spirit stones, many casual cultivators with high cultivation levels, Wu Luan belongs to Zhao State or Luo Han State, are all secretly thinking about it. Many disciples who guard the spirit mine caves in Nan Luo Sect are killed and injured every year.

Ye Jian frowned. He really didn't expect the criminal elder to take care of him like this.

"How is it? Are you willing to accept it?"

The criminal elder sat upright above and asked faintly, but there was a slight joking smile on the corner of his mouth.

“Six months are too long…”

"The time cannot be changed. If you think it is unreasonable, it will be changed to other punishment tasks, but the time will be one year."

Ye Jian suddenly browned wildly. He finally realized that all this was planned by the Criminal Elder.

Taking a deep breath, he measured it secretly in his heart, Ye Jian finally nodded.

"Okay, but I need a few days to prepare."

"Time is not busy. In three days, the sect will use lions and eagles to send you to the Hengduan Mountains."

The criminal elder looked like he had a treacherous plan.

Ye Jian was speechless. He did not expect to be plotted by the criminal elder. He had just arrived at the sect but was about to leave again. Moreover, he had been away for quite a long time this time.

"It seems that in the next two days, I have to hurry up and buy some things."

A sigh in my heart.

"Okay, if nothing happens, you can go down first. Remember! Three days later, gather at the sect in the early morning."

Ye Jian immediately bowed slightly and then retreated directly.

...

In the private room on the second floor of Xianya Pavilion, Ye Chen and others immediately started to express their expressions after hearing Ye Jian’s punishment mission.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Ye Jian showed a hint of doubt on his face, and at the same time he secretly slandered himself. Although the Hengduan Mountains were dangerous, there was no need to do this.

"Ye Jian, you only know the horror on the surface of the Hengduan Mountains, and you don't know the darkness inside it."

After a long silence, Ye Chen slowly spoke.

"The environment in Hengduan Mountains is ten times more terrifying than you hear. If you are not careful, you will enter those undeveloped areas. Even if you are powerful people in the Huayuan Realm enter, you will definitely die."

"Ye Jian, I advise you to find the criminal elder to change his mission as soon as possible. Even if it takes a longer time, it will be better than the existence of too many unknown Hengduan Mountains."

Mu Peiling also disagreed with Ye Jian's mission and immediately reminded him.

"But I've agreed."

"You can change it if you agree, and you can still make it."

Mu Peiling said with concern.

"Forget it, I also want to see the Hengduan Mountains."

Ye Jian thought for a moment, but in the end he refused everyone's kindness.

"Forget it, since you have decided, I won't say much. But after you get there, remember to put your life first in advance."

Seeing that Ye Jian had decided to leave, Ye Chen sighed and patted the latter on the shoulder.

The two of them greeted each other and the dinner began again.

...

In the evening, Ye Jian returned to his previous small wooden house, sat cross-legged on the bed, and slowly breathed in.

The food, wine and food in Xianya Pavilion were indeed extraordinary. After Ye Jian came back, he breathed for a moment and felt the heat in his abdomen swelling and his internal energy was slowly growing.

Just like that, all night was speechless. When dawn came again the next day, Ye Jian opened his eyes directly, with a full light in his eyes, and flashing in an instant.

Huh~!

After breathing deeply, Ye Jian clenched his fists and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Now my cultivation level has reached the peak of the warrior realm and is at the barrier to break through the true realm of Condensation. No matter how I continue to practice, my cultivation level will not increase at all unless I break through the true realm of Condensation. Well, I just take advantage of the moment to see if I can collect some simple pill recipes."

Ye Jian has always taken the matter of alchemy to heart. He did not consider it because his cultivation level had not reached the realm of Condensation before. However, now, Ye Jian's cultivation level has reached the barrier, and it is just around the corner to break through the realm of Condensation, so he naturally has to start refining alchemy.

After a simple cleaning, Ye Jian went out directly.

Walking on the way to the sect, Ye Jian met many outer disciples, but these people looked at Ye Jian with a hint of awe in their eyes.

Ye Jian frowned slightly, not sure.

However, after he wandered around the road for most of the time, he finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that it was because he severely injured Ning Hao with one sword yesterday and was spread by some onlookers, so it was staged that he was secretly pointed at by someone when he went out today.

Ye Jian walked in Chiang Mai and continued to walk forward.

"Look! Look! This is Ye Jian. I heard that he defeated Ning Hao, the number one in the outer sect with one sword yesterday."

A sudden scream came from the crowd behind him.

"Shu! Is it true? Is it a rumor?"

"If he was really so powerful, why didn't he win the first title of outer goal?"

"I think it must be a bragging!"

For a moment, there were a lot of doubts in the crowd.

"It's true. This news was said by one of my cousins ​​in the inner sect, and he saw it with his own eyes."

However, the man who had exclaimed before still argued for Ye Jian.

"I'll know if it's that great, I'll try it."

However, the crowd surged, and a strong boy with a strong cultivation level who had reached the peak of a warrior came out of it. The boy followed and quickly rushed towards Ye Jian's back.

"Um!"

This move naturally could not escape Ye Jian's sensing. Ye Jian immediately turned around, his eyes were extremely cold and fierce. The sword was like two invisible swords, which crossed through Ye Jian's eyes and shot into the young man's mind.

The boy was shocked and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Bang!

However, Ye Jian did not hesitate at all, raised his left foot slightly, hitting the young man's waist. In an instant, the young man rolled towards the side like a ball.

The body quickly climbed up, and the boy touched the side of his waist with horror, but he found that there was no injury at all.

Just as he was talking to him, Ye Jian had already walked away.

"It's really strong."

"Ren Qiang has no power to backhand in his hands."

"It seems that the rumors are true,"

"Ye Jian is the number one in the outer sect."
