"Make up for your mistake? Hmph, and how exactly were you going to make up for it?"
Though Qing Heng was furious, he knew that Heavenly Shroud Immortal could not be blamed entirely for what had happened. Heavenly Shroud Immortal had already been cautious enough; no one could have expected Li Yun to be so powerful, or so bold as to flip the table and strike outright.
Therefore, he had never truly intended to punish Heavenly Shroud Immortal severely.
After all, Heavenly Shroud Immortal was considered an old hand in Yuan Qing Palace. Since joining Yuan Qing Palace, he had already lived through three eras.
If he were severely punished over this small matter, it would inevitably chill people's hearts.
However, Heavenly Shroud Immortal had ultimately made a mistake. He had caused Yuan Qing Palace to become the laughingstock of the Primordial Era factions and lose its prestige before the cultivators of the current age.
It was fine not to punish him harshly, but an attitude still had to be shown.
Now that Heavenly Shroud Immortal had voluntarily offered to make up for his mistake, Qing Heng naturally had to support him.
Heavenly Shroud Immortal cupped his fists, his expression resolute. "Palace Master, this subordinate is willing to travel to that Forbidden Land and seek the secret treasures within, adding to Yuan Qing Palace's foundations and undoing the impact of this mistake. I ask Palace Master to grant permission."
Qing Heng was immediately taken aback, somewhat surprised by Heavenly Shroud Immortal's courage.
"Travel to the Forbidden Land? Are you certain?"
"You must know that this Forbidden Land is exceedingly dangerous. Even I would not dare set foot there lightly."
"In your present condition, if you truly go to the Forbidden Land, there is a great chance you will never return.
