In the mountain wilderness, a breeze blew through, yet it could not disperse the oppressive atmosphere hanging over the scene.

"Keep kneeling. Say one more word, and I'll cut you down."

Su Yi spoke calmly.

Rou Yun gave up struggling, her head lowered, humiliated, furious, and frightened.

Yuan Heng stood some distance away, coldly sweeping his gaze over these cultivators from the Five Thunder Spirit Sect.

Unlike Su Yi, over the past two months, he had heard the name Five Thunder Spirit Sect more than once.

It was a cultivation faction from another world, entrenched within Great Qin. Its foundations and influence were scarcely inferior to those of the Sky Fiend Profound Sect.

Yet Yuan Heng also knew that even if his master learned all this, he was destined not to care.

"Miss Lan Suo, you may speak now."

Su Yi said softly.

Lan Suo nodded and promptly explained what had happened.

Not long ago, Cloud Ripple Superior had explored some ruins in the Chaotic Spirit Sea and found a divine medicine called the Emerald Ring Spirit Grass.

But when he tried to harvest it, he encountered a rival from the Five Thunder Spirit Sect.

In the end, Cloud Ripple Superior proved the more skilled, severely wounding the other party and seizing the divine medicine.

Yet because of this, Cloud Ripple Superior had drawn the attention of the Five Thunder Spirit Sect.

When Cloud Ripple Superior returned from the Chaotic Spirit Sea, he was pursued by experts from the Five Thunder Spirit Sect. Left with no choice, he could only go into hiding.

Lan Suo had come to the Cloud Platform Assembly this time in hopes of seeking justice
