Upon hearing Chu Kuangren's words, the Parchprime Palace Lord remained calm and collected. However, Zhang Xuan, who was beside him, did not have the same level of composure. Panic was written all over his face, and Chu Kuangren saw it all.
'There's something fishy going on with this Parchprime Palace. '
Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
"That disciple of mine is a woman named Shang Qingxue. The person beside her is her ancestor, a Sage Ruler. He has been separated from Shang Qingxue for many years, and his only wish is to see his descendant again. If anything happens to her, he will never let this matter rest …"
Chu Kuangren said as he scanned the expressions of everyone present. The color on Zhang Xuan's face gradually faded, and his face became extremely pale. His body was also trembling uncontrollably …
Chu Kuangren saw all these subtle movements.
"So … where is she?!"
Chu Kuangren let out a fierce roar.
His voice was like thunder, and the entire palace shook.
Zhang Xuan was so shocked that he almost fainted.
The Parchprime Palace Lord's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Sect Leader Chu, I won't hide this from you. Your disciple is now in Parchprime Palace. It's just a small misunderstanding. Please listen to my explanation, Sect Leader Chu …"
"Should I listen to your explanation or your lies?!"
Chu Kuangren said coldly, "Bring me to her!"
"This way please, Sect Leader Chu."
At this point, the Parchprime Palace Lord no longer held any hope of getting lucky. He brought Chu Kuangren and the White-Robed General towards the Serenity Pavilion.
The Serenity Pavilion was specially used by Parchprime Palace to imprison disciples who had made mistakes. It was equipped with countless restrictions that could prevent spiritual thoughts from prying.
This also explained why Chu Kuangren could not find Shang Qingxue when he used his spiritual thoughts to search for her.
There were many rooms in the Serenity Pavilion. Chu Kuangren and the others entered the Serenity Pavilion, passed through a corridor, and arrived at an exquisite courtyard.
When they opened the door to a room.
Inside, a woman in a blue dress stood up, drew a longsword, and held it against her own neck.
"If you dare come any closer, I'll … Sect Leader!!"
Before Shang Qingxue could finish her sentence, she saw a familiar figure in front of her. She unconsciously put down the longsword in her hand, and her eyes reddened.
Chu Kuangren looked at her with a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
Shang Qingxue didn't seem to have suffered much damage other than her aura being weakened and her spiritual power being restricted.
However, the moment they opened the door, Chu Kuangren and the White-Robed General's instinctive action of unsheathing their swords and threatening to kill themselves had deeply hurt Chu Kuangren and the White-Robed General.
What was it that made her threaten him with death?
What kind of psychological pressure had she been under these days?
Chu Kuangren did not have to think too deeply to guess what was going on.
"Qingxue, the Sect Leader has returned to bring you home." Chu Kuangren took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his expression.
"Sect Leader …" Shang Qingxue could not hold it in any longer. She threw herself at him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Chu Kuangren had some understanding of Shang Qingxue. Back then, she was able to grit her teeth and persevere through his hellish training.
Now that she saw him, she couldn't help but cry.
It was easy to imagine the grievances he had suffered in the past few days.
After a while.
Shang Qingxue let go of Chu Kuangren. She rubbed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. "Sect Leader, how did you find me?"
"We'll talk about this later. First, tell me, who imprisoned you here?" Chu Kuangren asked.
Shang Qingxue told him everything that had happened.
Two months ago, she passed by this place while training and happened to bump into Parchprime Palace's Zhang Xuan. Lusting after her beauty, he tricked her into coming to Parchprime Palace and then poisoned her to seal her spiritual power.
In these two months, she had been threatening death, relying on the meager amount of spiritual energy in her body to persevere. She had not taken a single drop of water or rice. She did not even dare to sleep, afraid that Zhang Xuan would take advantage of her.
Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry either. Instead, he continued to play with her.
He was certain that she would not last much longer.
It was at this moment that Chu Kuangren arrived.
However, Chu Kuangren knew that even if he did not come, Zhang Xuan would not dare to hurt Shang Qingxue.
That was because the news of him breaking the Heavenly Punishment Seal had spread like wildfire.
Even so, Zhang Xuan still had to pay the price.
"Sect Leader Zhang, I don't think I need to tell you what to do. I'm sure you know what to do," Chu Kuangren said coldly.
"Sect Leader Chu, since Miss Shang isn't hurt, Parchprime Palace is willing to compensate her. Please forgive her, Sect Leader Chu."
The Parchprime Palace Lord said.
After all, Zhang Xuan was his grandson. He would save him if he could.
"I'm not going to repeat myself. Unless you want the entire Parchprime Palace to perish with him?" Chu Kuangren's tone darkened.
The Parchprime Palace Lord was speechless.
"I understand."
Not long after, Zhang Xuan was brought before Chu Kuangren and the others.
"Sect Leader Chu, please spare my life. I … I won't do it again."
Zhang Xuan kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Qingxue, I'll leave this to you."
Without hesitation, Shang Qingxue drew her longsword. With a sword ray, Zhang Xuan's head fell to the ground and spun twice.
Two months of fear and anxiety seemed to have been vented with that one sword attack. Shang Qingxue, who had not eaten or drunk for two months and had her spiritual power sealed, finally could not take it anymore and fainted.
The White-Robed General was one step ahead of Chu Kuangren to help her up. Looking at her face, a rare hint of gentleness appeared in the White-Robed General's cold eyes. "You look so much like Ah Yu back then."
Ah Yu was the Princess of the Lou Kingdom, the lover of the White-Robed General.
"Take her away to rest."
"Alright."
After the White-Robed General left, Chu Kuangren did not even look at the corpse on the ground. Instead, he took out a letter and handed it to the Parchprime Palace Lord. "Besides looking for the Black Heaven Sect's disciples, there's another matter."
"That is about Liu Yiqing sneaking into the Black Heaven Sect and being caught red-handed by me. If you want to redeem him, you'll have to pay a ransom."
Beside him, Liu Yiqing smiled bitterly.
He knew this was not the end of it.
The Parchprime Palace Lord was dumbfounded as he looked at the letter in his hand.
'What's going on? '
Chu Kuangren had killed his own grandson in Parchprime Palace, and now he wanted them to pay a ransom??
'What kind of logic is this?! '
"Besides that, although Shang Qingxue is fine, she must have suffered a lot over the past few months. She must be compensated for her psychological damage."
'What? There's psychological damage too? '
The Parchprime Palace Lord was stunned, but when he saw Chu Kuangren's cold gaze, he lost all his temper.
What else could he do? Of course, he had to pay.
Unless Parchprime Palace wanted to be like the other orthodoxies and take a hit. However, they did not dare to do that.
A day later.
Chu Kuangren had obtained a huge amount of cultivation resources, which almost emptied out the entire Desolate Prime Sect's fortune.
After that, Chu Kuangren and the others were ready to return to the sect.
Just as they stepped out of the Parchprime Sect, they saw a pillar of light piercing through the clouds, and a powerful energy wave erupted.
"Oh, another Opportunity of Fortune has appeared? But I don't sense any Emperor's Aura. I wonder what kind of Opportunity of Fortune this is. "
Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised as he stood on the tower.
Beside him, the White-Robed General hesitated before he said, "Sect Leader, I'd like to go and have a look."
"Wait a minute, what did you call me?!"
Chu Kuangren said with a surprised look.
"Since my descendants are in the Black Heaven Sect, and you saved my life, it's only right for me to call you Sect Leader. Don't tell me you don't want me to join?"
"Of course not. You're more than welcome."
Chu Kuangren said.
