Suddenly, a transparent protective shield appeared in the air a meter above his head, blocking the attack.
"What! What are these?"
"Hahaha, these are treasures our Sect Master prepared beforehand. Our Sect Master said they wouldn't be able to attack us. Our Sect Master and the others can take them all down in an instant. This battle is just for practice."
At this moment, the thirty-five Golden Core stage cultivators found themselves unable to defeat the six Golden Core stage cultivators they were fighting. The primary reason was that the treasures held by the six Golden Core stage cultivators were too powerful, rendering them invincible.
So, one of the Golden Core stage cultivators saw the ordinary Xuanmen disciples below and immediately wanted to exploit them.
"Hahaha, you low-level cultivators dare to stand there and watch. Look at me!"
This Golden Core stage cultivator dived down towards the disciples below, gathering spiritual energy in his hand and attacking an ordinary Xuanmen disciple.
Just as he was about a meter away from grabbing a Xuanmen disciple's head, the transparent shield appeared, blocking the Golden Core stage cultivator.
"Damn it! There's a defense!"
The Golden Core stage cultivator continued to attack the transparent protective barrier. However, after several more attempts, he was still unable to break the transparent protective shield.
"Damn it, what is this? Why can't I break it?"
The Xuanmen disciples on the ground watched the Golden Core stage cultivator's actions and discussed when he would finally give up.
"The cultivator above seems to be at the Golden Core stage."
"What is protecting us?"
"Didn't they just say? We are protected by treasures. The Xuanmen said that even Nascent Soul stage cultivators couldn't break this treasure's defenses. How could these Golden Core stage cultivators break our treasure's protective shield!"
"That's right, our Sect Master and the others are just practicing against those Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage cultivators."
"..."
The Golden Core stage cultivator above couldn't break the protective shield, but he could hear the voices from within.
Upon hearing their conversation, the Golden Core stage cultivator immediately realized something was wrong. He looked back and saw that the Xuanmen side had indeed held back their strength. They showed no signs of strain during the fight. In contrast, every cultivator on his side was struggling.
This Golden Core stage cultivator felt a sense of dread upon hearing this.
"This is bad, this situation is truly bad! Run!"
This Golden Core stage cultivator flew directly outwards.
However, as he was about to fly out of the mountain gate, a transparent barrier blocked him.
At this point, seeing this, this Golden Core stage cultivator knew that their cultivators had been trapped by the Xuanmen and were being used as practice targets.
This Golden Core stage cultivator simply stopped attacking.
As expected, after an hour, all the spiritual energy of these cultivators was depleted. They were all bound by rope-like treasures.
These cultivators could not break free from these treasures no matter how hard they tried.
The Grand Elder of the Baihe Sect stirred, but he couldn't break free from the ropes of the treasures. He asked in shock, "Why, why can't I break free from these ropes?"
The Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall, however, had a different question. "Since you are so strong, why did you fight us for so long?"
The other Golden Core stage cultivators also wore expressions of indignation.
"That's right, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Since you are so powerful, why play with us like this?"
"Damn it, you demonic cultivators will be eradicated one day!"
"The spirit of righteousness will endure forever!"
"..."
These cultivators had come to attack the Xuanmen and still considered themselves righteous.
Lin Dong listened to their words, and a smile spread across his face.
"Hahaha, you people truly have hypocritical faces. You still don't know what kind of punishment you will receive next."
After Lin Dong said this, the cultivators on the other side immediately cursed at him.
"Damn it, if you didn't use treasures, would we Golden Core stage cultivators lose to your six Golden Core stage cultivators?"
"Golden Core stage cultivators who only know how to use treasures. If you dare, fight us again without treasures. Let our thirty-five Golden Core stage cultivators defeat your six Golden Core stage cultivators."
"That's right, let's all not use treasures!"
"..."
Lin Dong said again, "You are truly shameless. You want thirty-five Golden Core stage cultivators to gang up on our six Golden Core stage cultivators. And you don't even allow us to use treasures."
"Hmph, this is righteous mobbing! You great demons have no right to talk to us about this."
"That's right, this is righteous mobbing."
"..."
Lin Dong was about to argue with the thirty-five people when Ye Fan next to him extended a hand, and the rope treasures binding the thirty-five Golden Core stage cultivators rose up and tied their mouths shut.
Ye Fan said, "Alright, no more talking. The Deputy Sect Master will now pass judgment on their crimes."
Lin Dong also stopped and looked at the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators whose mouths were not bound. "Don't these two need to be silenced as well?"
Ye Fan said, "These two Nascent Soul stage cultivators know they are disgraced and are not as shameless as those Golden Core stage cultivators."
The Grand Elder of the Baihe Sect and the Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall simply lowered their heads silently and did not speak.
Chu Shi said, "You dare to disrupt the court. The judgment is as follows: The Sect Master of the Baihe Sect, the Sect Master of the Chiyun Hall, the Grand Elder of the Baihe Sect, and the Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall are the principal offenders and are sentenced to thirty years of imprisonment and the forfeiture of their cultivation. The other thirty-three Golden Core stage cultivators are accessories and are sentenced to twenty years of imprisonment and the forfeiture of their cultivation!"
At this decision, the Grand Elder of the Baihe Sect and the Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall finally panicked.
The Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall quickly said, "No, no, no. I, the Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall, am willing to surrender to you. Please do not abolish my cultivation."
Facing the plea of the Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall, Chu Shi's face remained expressionless.
At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Baihe Sect said with disdain, "What are you worried about, Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall? Their strongest is only at the Nascent Soul stage. How could they abolish our cultivation?"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall immediately thought of this. That's right, how could abolishing cultivation happen between cultivators of the same level? They were all at the Nascent Soul stage, how could they abolish their own cultivation?
With this thought, the Grand Elder of the Chiyun Hall felt that he was safe again.
At this moment, Lin Dong laughed, "Hahaha, you are still too naive. Do you really think your cultivation cannot be abolished?"
