Li Jiman rode to Lijing Town on horseback but was carried back to Wutu City in a carriage. The punishment handed out in the Clan Head Courtyard of the Li Family was carried out by a Fetal Breathing Cultivator, and even though he possessed cultivation level, it was of no use; he was still beaten until his skin split and flesh burst.
Several unsmiling Clan Elders had a discussion in the Clan Head Courtyard and rendered a judgment of "negligence of duty and indulgence towards the hopeful clans," which not only led to Li Jiman being relentlessly paddled seventy times but also saw his reputation soundly smacked.
Naturally, the people from the Tian Family also rushed to the Clan Head Courtyard. Tian Zhongqing stepped forward and apologized repeatedly. Although Li Jiman appeared to laugh it off on the surface, Tian Zhongqing felt a chill in his spine.
