Huang Qiugong's expression instantly fell.
Jiang Yiming's words clearly showed that he didn't take him seriously.
Although Huang Qiugong was extremely shocked that Jiang Yiming had sent that late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator flying with a single palm strike, he still didn't take it to heart. After all, he was at the Core Formation Realm!
In his opinion, Jiang Yiming was at most at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He made this judgment because Jiang Yiming could've applied to be ranked a fourth rank force once he reached the Core Formation Realm since by doing so he would receive more benefits.
If Jiang Yiming was really at the Core Formation Realm, there was no reason for the Lingyun Sect to still be a fifth rank force.
After thinking it through, Huang Qiugong's heart relaxed.
As long as Jiang Yiming wasn't at the Core Formation Realm, he had absolute confidence.
"Kid, I think you're courting death! Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for making a move against you!" Huang Qiugong said coldly while he made his move.
He didn't hold back and instantly unleashed his Core Formation Realm cultivation.
Vast amounts of spiritual energy transformed into flames that filled the sky and condensed into the form of a phoenix.
Looking at the fire phoenix that pounced over fiercely, Jiang Yiming snorted disdainfully.
Then, he circulated his spiritual energy and suddenly punched forward.
This was a punch that was based on the Supreme Celestial Demon Body and was supported by the Green Lotus spiritual energy.
The moment it was punched out, the surrounding air roared violently.
Boom!
As soon as the punch collided with the spiritual energy phoenix, it instantly set off an explosion of spiritual energy.
The enormous spiritual energy phoenix instantly dissipated.
The intense backlash was like the reverse flow of seawater, Huang Qiugong's body.
In the end, he couldn't hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Let's attack together!" Huang Qiugong looked at Jiang Yiming as he said. The arrogance in his eyes was no more, instead, it was replaced with fear.
Hearing his order, the remaining Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators looked at each other and for a moment didn't even dare to move.
Even Huang Qiugong had been defeated, what use could they be?
"Hurry up and attack!" When Huang Qiugong saw that they were scared out of their wits, he cursed angrily.
The few of them instantly trembled. Although they were extremely unwilling, they could only brace themselves and attack.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"
Jiang Yiming looked at the group of people swarming over and didn't think much of them at all.
He punched out several times consecutively, and the fists were like shooting stars that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
In an instant, they were all sent flying.
None of them had any strength to resist as they fell to the ground one by one.
Apart from Jiang Yiming and Huang Chaoyu, only the old man holding a compass was still standing.
The others were all on the ground with injuries all over their bodies.
They looked at Jiang Yiming with fear in their eyes.
Only then did they recall that Jiang Yiming seemed to have just stood there quietly, casually struck out a few moves, and knocked all of them down one after another.
Huang Chaoyu, who was hiding behind Jiang Yiming, was even more shocked.
She couldn't understand how her Master had suddenly become so powerful.
After all, her Master had just been severely injured by the Huoyun Sect a few days ago.
The past two days, it was as if her Master had changed into a different person.
That being said, her Master now seemed to have become even more charming.
He was mysterious, powerful, and gave people a sense of security!
Huang Chaoyu was looking at her Master's back in a trance when Jiang Yiming suddenly turned around, scaring her so much that she hurriedly lowered her head.
"Xiaoyu, what do you think we should do with these people?"
Hearing this, Huang Chaoyu abruptly raised her head.
"Master, you mean..."
"If you want them dead, they will not survive. Of course, if you don't want to kill, I will throw them all down the mountain," Jiang Yiming said indifferently.
When Huang Qiugong and the others heard this, they were incomparably horrified.
They couldn't help but tremble, afraid that Huang Chaoyu would say something cruel.
Huang Chaoyu fell silent. She thought of the vague figure in her memory again.
That tall, dignified, but extremely cold man.
He might be a king or a powerhouse, but he was definitely not her father!
Thinking of this, Huang Chaoyu's expression also became cold.
She said calmly to Huang Qiugong and the others, "Go back to where you came from. Go back and tell him that I have nothing to do with him. I am not the Princess of the Divine Phoenix Empire, and I will never return to the Divine Phoenix Empire."
Huang Qiugong and the others were first stunned, then they were overjoyed.
What Huang Chaoyu meant was that she was going to let them off.
As for whether or not Huang Chaoyu would return to the Divine Phoenix Empire, they couldn't care less about that now.
What they cared more about was whether or not they could keep their lives!
"Thank you, Princess, for sparing our lives. I will go back immediately and report to His Majesty. Your Highness, please take care of your health. Allow me to take my leave now," After saying that, Huang Qiugong hurriedly called for everyone to leave.
They didn't want to stay here any longer, even if it was just for a minute!
"Hold on!"
Just as they were very thankful and were prepared to leave, Jiang Yiming suddenly called out to them.
Everyone was instantly shocked, and they knew things weren't looking good in their hearts.
They felt that Jiang Yiming had made them stop because he most probably wanted to go back on his words.
Huang Qiugong could only bite the bullet and ask tentatively, "The Princess has already agreed to let us leave. Are you going to go back on your word?"
"I'm not like you guys, what I said naturally counts."
When everyone heard this, their hearts relaxed. Then, they heard Jiang Yiming continue, "What do you take the Lingyun Sect for, coming and going as you please? It's fine if you want to leave, but you have to clean up the Lingyun Sect first."
"Of course, of course!" Before Jiang Yiming could finish, Huang Qiugong quickly answered.
After all, if they didn't agree to clean up the Lingyun Sect, they would be the ones to be cleaned up.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Jiang Yiming said coldly.
They quickly scattered and began to clean up.
The old man with the compass was still unwilling, but he was still forced by Huang Qiugong to clean up the house.
Only Jiang Yiming and Huang Zhaoyu were left at the mountain gates.
"Master, I'm sorry," Huang Zhaoyu suddenly looked at Jiang Yiming and said aggrievedly, "For so many years, I have been hiding the truth from you, and I even caused such trouble for the Lingyun Sect. Please punish me!"
Jiang Yiming shook his head and said with a smile, "What's there to punish? Everyone has their past and secrets. Besides, how is this a problem? Didn't you see that I solved it easily? I only hope that you will cultivate well in the future and work hard to improve yourself."
"Yes, don't worry, Master. I will do my best!" Seeing that Jiang Yiming didn't have any intention of blaming her, Huang Chaoyu finally felt relieved.
She had already made the decision to cultivate well and strengthen the Lingyun Sect.
Jiang Yiming looked at her full of fighting spirit and was also very happy.
Then, he turned around and looked at the people who were working hard to clean up the Sect.
He thought to himself that it was about time to rebuild the Sect.
