"Patriarch Zhen, are you satisfied with what you have done?"
Patriarch Zhen looked at the Thunder Dominion that was outside of the hall and snorted lightly. "Letting him receive the punishment of thunder, isn't that letting him off too easily?"
In the cultivation world, the ancient beheading punishment was already useless. Some cultivators would be beheaded and retrieved, while the demons and ghosts would be even more of a laughing stock.
Therefore, many cultivation sects would use extreme punishment to punish their disciples who had committed a crime, such as the Yuxu Sect's Thunder Punishment.
During the execution, he tied the person to a lightning pillar and then summoned a hundred foot long lightning, directly striking the back of the head and piercing into the dantian. Then, he died on the spot.
This was exactly the same as the Burning Thunder of the Ninth Heaven on the Evil Killing Stage.
However, since the establishment of Yuxu Sect, Lei Xing had never been used, he was only used to intimidate those disciples with ill intentions.
But today, Ling Changfeng actually used Lei Xing, causing Xuan Cheng to be slightly speechless. He stared at Ling Changfeng, not knowing what to say.
Although he wanted to bring Shang Zifeng to justice, that was only limited to killing him with one palm.
When he saw the punishment Ling Changfeng wanted to use on him, even he raised his eyebrows slightly. He really couldn't see through Ling Changfeng.
However, Patriarch Zhen did not understand all of this, thinking that the reason Lei Xing was so famous in the martial arts world was because Yuxu Sect often used this method to punish his disciples.
That was why he thought that Ling Changfeng was being selfish and wanted to let Shang Zifeng experience less pain so that he could use the Thunder Punishment.
Little did they know, that this was one of the most cruel punishments in the Yuxu Sect.
When Ye Xiao heard Patriarch Zhen's words, he could not hold back anymore, "Patriarch Zhen, please be careful with what you say!"
"Heh heh, words of caution? Have I not spoken cautiously? This brat used such a cruel method to cause that little bastard to wreak havoc on my son's body. It can be imagined how much pain Shuai'er suffered before she died! Yet now, you want him to die so easily. How can there be such a good thing in the world! This old man will naturally say it! "
"Then let's hit Shang Zifeng's three hundred celestial staff and have Patriarch Zhen execute it himself. I wonder what Patriarch Zhen thinks?"
Right at this moment, a low, powerful voice floated over. Following it was a white figure, and in the blink of an eye, he was seated at the head of the Virtual Hall.
"We pay our respects to the Grand Elder!"
The wrinkles on Ling Changfeng's forehead completely disappeared the moment Chen Xu arrived.
Shang Zifeng, there's hope!
Yao Shuang looked at the Grand Clan Elder with a profound gaze. From the moment she entered the Yuxu Sect, she had a feeling that the Grand Clan Elder seemed to know something.
Yao Shuang was not sure if she knew of her identity, or if he knew that she was a woman disguised as a man, or if she had seen through her strength.
He just had a feeling in his heart that Chen Xu was not as simple as he looked on the surface.
The two of them were in the same house, it was impossible for them to not sense each other, even if Chen Xu was weaker than him, suspicions would arise in their hearts.
It was just like how Yao Shuang had broken through the profound formation during the second stage of the examination back then.
However, even though there was something fishy with Chen Xu's name, she still endured it and did not say it, as if nothing had happened. This made Yao Shuang very suspicious.
Other than that, it was Shang Zifeng. Ling Changfeng had been stubborn and allowed Shang Zifeng to pass Talent Test's trial. At that time, Yao Shuang felt that there were experts nearby, so she guessed that it must be Chen Xu.
If Chen Xu had been present at that time, with Chen Xu's foresight, it would have been impossible for him to not have seen through Ling Changfeng's thoughts, but he had still tacitly accepted everything that Ling Changfeng had done.
Furthermore, in these past four years, and Snowball had managed to get away with it numerous times. If one were to say that it wasn't for the Grand Elder suppressing them from behind, Yao Shuang would never believe it.
It was precisely because of this that when Ling Changfeng faked that his Qi and blood should attack his, causing his to faint, she immediately thought of finding Chen Xu to save her, but that time, she was only struck by inspiration and did not have too much confidence. After all, when the Ghost Face Man attacked, Chen Xu was also severely injured, so he might not think too much about Shang Zifeng.
Seeing that the Grand Elder had really come, the stones in her heart also dropped to the ground.
Her guess was right, the Great Clan Elder was indeed protecting Shang Zifeng silently. This was within Yao Shuang's expectations, and also beyond her expectations.
However, the three hundred staff that Chen Xu mentioned just now, had Patriarch Zhen personally execute it. This caused Yao Shuang to be slightly startled and her heart to waver, as she did not know if Chen Xu was here to help Shang Zifeng or to punish him.
Chen Xu had also returned with. The first senior brother of the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu He, was standing in front of the palace with Chen Xu by his side.
Chen Xu and Wei Lun were both elders with the most qualifications to be in the Yuxu Sect. If one were to rank according to their seniority, the two of them would be older than the Four Elders by several generations.
Wei Lun recovered a little after Chu He took care of him for an entire night, then went into closed-door training with Chen Xu at Law Enforcement Peak to treat his injuries. On the other hand, Chu He was guarding outside to guard the door to prevent outsiders from disturbing him.
Unexpectedly, a male voice sounded out from outside the quiet stone room, just after hearing it, it was obvious that it was the Xixuan Taosit Place's Du Yun who had come to invite the Great Clan Elder to deal with Shang Zifeng's matter, but because the Great Clan Elder was injured and was working with his master to treat his injuries, Chu He did not pay any attention to it. Instead, he slowly opened his eyes and continued meditating.
Seeing that there was no response from the secret room, Hong Shan rushed over. In truth, Hong Shan had long noticed that Du Yun had secretly left the hall, and must have been looking for the Great Clan Elder.
He did not expect that because of a single request from her, his father would ask Su Jingqi to bring her back to the Qingdi Taosit Place.
Even though he was feeling happy, he couldn't show it too clearly. He could only push himself and be pulled out by Su Jingqi in the next moment.
But after coming out, how could Hong Shan be so easy to talk to? Taking advantage that Su Jingqi was not paying attention, he directly struck the back of his neck and chased Du Yun here without even looking at him once.
Hong Shan saw that Du Yun was still standing outside very politely, waiting for the person inside to respond and couldn't help but to frown.
If it was any later, Shang Zifeng's life would be in danger, she dared not gamble with Shang Zifeng's life, so she did not care about anything else, but immediately activated his Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation and activated the second level's move, "Cloud Cracking Palm"
Under Du Yun's astonished gaze, he knocked on the door.
He thought to himself: As expected of the Junior Sister Shan, they are all acting in such a perverted and overbearing manner!
However, luckily he had her with him. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.
Most likely, when he really invited the Great Clan Elder over, even Shang Zifeng's life would be gone as well.
It was only after Hong Shan's farce, that Chen Xu noticed the abnormality. After a few questions and answers, Chen Xu settled down and went alone to the hall.
Chu He was speechless. Others might not know, but how could he not know?
That "girl" called Dongfang Li.
How could he be so easily provoked?
Looking at her usual attitude towards Shang Zifeng, how could anything happen to him?
Back then, Chu He promised to not tell his master and Grand Elder that Yao Shuang was a woman. It was also because he felt that Yao Shuang had no ill intentions towards her master and elders.
Now that he thought about it, these four years had been safe and sound, Chu He gradually relaxed.
However, he could not see through Yao Shuang's strength at all, and this caused a knot in his heart. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful enough, Yao Shuang would make use of this opportunity to do something bad to the Yuxu Sect.
Chu He secretly shook his head. Ever since he returned to the mountain that year, he had not seen the "Lady Boss" again.
I wonder how she's doing, if she's married.
There were several times when he wanted to ask Yao Shuang about it, but in the end, he decided to endure it, as he did not know the relationship between and the boss.
In the dead of night, when Chu He thought about how he promised to help another woman hide her identity for the sake of a woman he had just met, he couldn't help but be speechless. Was he still the law enforcement big brother, Chu He?
Xuan Cheng never thought that the Grand Elder would order something like this right after he arrived.
Three hundred Celestial Staff, and they allowed the Patriarch Zhen to execute them, didn't they agree to Patriarch Zhen's previous request of torturing Shang Zifeng?
Not only was Xuan Cheng shocked, Hong Shan, Ye Xiao and the others all stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the imposing Grand Clan Elder who was seated at the center of the room, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
Only Ling Changfeng's expression did not change, as if he did not hear the Grand Elder's words.
Du Ze, oh Shang Zifeng, today I see that you are not dead yet, even Grand Elder wants you to die, that is a total of three hundred celestial staffs! Even if this young master had profound energy to protect his body, he would have already lost half of his life after taking ten staff, not to mention a trash like you who can't even control profound energy!
This time, even the deities can't save you!
Hearing that, Patriarch Zhen was startled, then he laughed out loud, "I have long heard that Grand Clan Elder is impartial in enforcing the law, and never favors others, this old man has finally seen it today!"
"Since the Patriarch Zhen has no objections, Shang Zifeng, do you wish to submit to my punishment?"
Chen Xu's gaze suddenly swept towards Shang Zifeng.
Shang Zifeng raised his head and looked at Chen Xu who was in midair. Although he did not know why the usually amiable Grand Elder would agree to use such a punishment on Patriarch Zhen, he did not care anymore.
"Disciple has nothing to say."
"If that's the case …" Chu He, drag Shang Zifeng out of the hall and execute him! "
With that said, Chen Xu's right arm extended out, his palm facing upwards, revealing an eight inch thick, hundred feet long green iron rod.
When the staff appeared, it illuminated the entire Virtual Hall. Even though it was daytime, it could not outshine the deterrence of the strong light.
Seeing the appearance of the big iron rod, Hong Shan and the rest all broke out in cold sweat. Just as they were about to ask for forgiveness, they were stopped by Ling Changfeng, "Great Master has his limits, why aren't you retreating!"
She did not know that Ling Changfeng had injured his in order to delay time, and had even thought that Ling Changfeng and Patriarch Zhen were already on the same side.
In his anger, just as he was about to refute something, he was pulled back by Yao Shuang once again. His small face flushed red like a red apple.
Because this time, Yao Shuang no longer had any scruples between men and women, and touched Hong Shan's hand, causing him to tremble as though she had been electrocuted, and was just about to retort when she suddenly stopped.
Yao Shuang did not notice that something was amiss with Hong Shan, she only said indifferently: "Don't be rash, let's take a look first."
"Oh …" "Alright."
Hong Shan almost forgot what she wanted to say, all of her attention was focused on that small touch on his hand. Even though Yao Shuang had already let go of his hand, the warmth left in it still made Hong Shan unable to control herself, her heart was beating faster.
Just as the two of them were having a slight interaction, Chen Xu had already passed the immortal staff to Patriarch Zhen, "Three hundred staff, regardless of whether you live or die, Patriarch Zhen will not pursue this matter anymore, how about it?"
"The Grand Elder's words are as clear as day. I can't argue with him. If he's still alive after the 300 Immortal staffs have passed, then I promise I won't pursue the matter any further!"
"Good!" No matter if Shang Zifeng is alive or dead, he will be thrown outside the mountain gate. In the future, he will no longer be the disciple of my Yuxu Sect! "
When he said that, no one cared anymore, because no one thought that Shang Zifeng would still be alive after the three hundred Celestial Staff had passed.
The power of the rod was something even the Dubhe Disciples could not resist, let alone an insignificant outer disciple like Shang Zifeng.
And when Shang Zifeng heard this, it was even worse than death. He stared at Ling Changfeng and Ling Changfeng, feeling extremely bitter in his heart.
Am I really going to die... no longer a disciple of the Yuxu Sect, no longer a disciple of the Yuxu Sect … was no longer a disciple of the Yuxu Sect … Shang Zifeng really didn't know how to describe his current state of mind.
It wanted to struggle free and beat Patriarch Zhen to death. In its view, as long as Patriarch Zhen died, Feng Feng Feng would not have to die. Everything was because of this old bastard!
Yao Shuang's hand that was holding onto Snow Ball also trembled slightly. She did not know why Chen Xu would make such a decision.
However, she had a feeling that the Grand Elder was doing this to save Shang Zifeng, because Ling Changfeng did not say anything to stop him.
But how?
If the big stick went down, after three hundred staff, wouldn't Shang Zifeng become a pile of meat?
"Don't move, smelly snowball!"
Sensing that the snow ball was struggling even more fiercely, Yao Shuang couldn't help but stop it with her consciousness.
"Yaksha, tigress, let go of the baby! Your baby is going to find Feng Feng! "
"Let you go?! Let you make trouble? Now that the situation is uncontrollably developing, if you cause any more trouble, not only will you not be able to save Feng Feng, he will also fall into an even more dangerous situation! "
"You're lying, you can hide it from them, but you can't hide it from me!" With your strength being so high, anyone who attacks you will die. How can Feng Feng Feng be in danger? "And that big stupid chicken …"
When the three words Big Idiot Chicken came out, Yao Shuang knocked the snowball unconscious.
had no choice but to listen in on this little thing. Just as he was thinking this, Yin Luan who was in his consciousness exploded, cursing Snowball in his mind, "Stupid thing, idiot! Stupid thing, idiot! "
Yao Shuang was speechless, at this critical juncture, none of these two little things stopped!
Outside the hall, Shang Zifeng was tied to a lightning pillar. However, he did not plan to summon heavenly thunder at the moment, because Patriarch Zhen was currently standing in front of him with a celestial staff in hand, looking at him darkly.
"Brat, everything that happened today is something you owe this old man, you owe the handsome one!"
