Ling Dong realized that He Duoxing, who had been glanced at by Ancestor Stargazer, was immediately trapped in a square Green Dipper Box. He was in the same situation as his uncle.
However, this was not what shocked Ling Dong. What shocked Ling Dong was that He Duoxing, who was trapped in the square Green Dipper Box, suddenly twitched violently, as though he was in extreme pain. In an instant, He Duoxing collapsed into the box like a noodle.
Then, something even more terrifying happened. He Duoxing, who was trapped in the square Green Dipper Box, seemed to have entered a place where the flow of time was accelerated. His entire body aged at a speed visible to the naked eye!
His originally shiny face was covered with fine wrinkles within a few breaths. In just one breath, the originally 20-year-old He Duoxing's hands, face, neck, and other exposed skin became like old tree bark. He looked even worse than a 70-year-old man!
Not only that, but his shiny black hair also turned into thousands of strands of silver in an instant. Due to his aging, the muscles on his face drooped, causing He Duoxing's appearance to change drastically. If the crowd had not witnessed this with their own eyes, Ling Dong was sure that even He Wanshan, He Duoxing's father, would not have been able to recognize his son.
"Ancestor, please spare my life, please spare my life!" At this moment, He Wanshan did not notice the tragic change in his son at all. He only knew how to kneel there and kowtow to beg for mercy.
At this moment, the face of He Duoxing, who was trapped in the Green Dipper Box, stopped changing. Ancestor Stargazer did not move, but with a flash of brilliance, the square Green Dipper Box disappeared in an instant, as though it had never appeared.
He Duoxing, who was trapped in the Green Dipper Box, fell gently to the ground. Then, the crowd heard a soft cracking sound.
Any martialist could tell that the cracking sound was the sound of bone fractures. He Duoxing had actually fractured his bones when he fell from the Green Dipper Box that was one meter above the ground! Furthermore, it was more than one bone that was fractured!
It should be known that with a height of one meter, it was impossible for an ordinary person to break a bone, let alone a martial artist. However, He Duoxing had broken a bone. This meant that not only had He Duoxing's cultivation been destroyed, but his body had also undergone a terrifying change!
Apart from Ancestor Stargazer, no one else knew about this change.
"Ah …" He Duoxing let out a strange and old scream, perhaps due to the intense pain from the fracture. However, this scream made Ling Dong and everyone else gasp!
He Duoxing opened his mouth naturally. His lips trembled slightly and all his teeth fell off his gums like raindrops!
After He Duoxing coughed a few times, there was a small pile of teeth in front of him. There were 32 teeth, not one less. However, the teeth that were supposed to be bright white now had a strange grayish-white color!
"Xing 'er …" Hearing the strange scream, He Wanshan, who was kowtowing on the ground, suddenly turned back to see what had happened. Everyone's surprised expression made him feel that something bad had happened.
Then, He Wanshan saw a white-haired old man who had lost all his teeth and was groaning miserably. He tried hard to identify him for a long time before he vaguely recognized that he was his son, He Duoxing. Then, he stood there in a daze.
After seeing this, Ling Dong only felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his head!
What kind of means did Old Man Star Gazer use? To think that a Disha Realm martial artist could turn into a white-haired old man who was not far from death within a few breaths of time. Moreover, he had truly aged, to the point that he couldn't be any older!
This was definitely a means that defied the natural order! It should be known that when a martialist broke through the Earth Realm, his life would be extended by 200 years.
Ancestor Stargazer's means had already gone beyond the scope of normal. Trapping a Heaven-gang Realm martialist in a few moves, and then destroying everything of a martialist in the Earth Realm, was this the means of a Gang Spirit Realm martialist?
Ling Dong suddenly found that his estimation of a Gang Spirit Realm martialist was seriously wrong. This gap was not small at all!
When Ling Dong first heard Feng Xuelei mention that there was a Gang Spirit Realm above the Heaven-gang Realm, Ling Dong felt that the difference between a Gang Spirit Realm martialist and a Heaven-gang Realm martialist was almost the same as the difference between a Heaven-gang Realm martialist and a martialist in the Earth Realm!
At most, a Gang Spirit Realm martialist could deal with four or five Heaven-gang Realm martialists! But now, judging from the amazing ability of Ancestor Stargazer, it was not the case at all!
He could trap a Heaven-gang Realm martialist with only one look. Ling Dong estimated that nearly ten Heaven-gang Realm martialists on the scene could not hurt a hair of Ancestor Stargazer!
Any Gang Spirit Realm martialist was absolutely horrible!
It was ridiculous that Ling Dong even thought that he could compete with a Heaven-gang Realm martialist under certain conditions with his cultivation at the first level of the Earth Realm. If he reached the Heaven-gang Realm, he could also compete with a Gang Spirit Realm martialist under certain conditions!
Now, it seemed that Ling Dong's idea was a complete joke!
Looking at He Wanshan's stunned expression and He Duoxing who suddenly became old, Ling Dong found something called "fear" in the eyes of the crowd. Including Chu Fangyue and Master Chu, there was this kind of fear in their eyes!
Various expressions of relief, fear, cold sweat and surprise were staged one by one on the faces of the Heaven-gang Realm martialists on the scene, forming a tragic comedy.
Ling Dong missed that after tonight, this kind of thing would never appear in True Gang Sect. At least on the surface, the Heaven-gang Realm martialists of True Gang Sect would absolutely be united, including He Wanshan!
Because True Nirvana Sect's Patriarch Stargazer was too terrifying!
At this time, another thought arose in Ling Dong's mind, "True Gang Sect had such a horrible existence as Ancestor Stargazer, but it was still destroyed by Tiankui Sect. Tiankui Sect …"
"He Duoxing violated the sect's rules and trespassed into the forbidden area. He secretly conspired with He Wanmu to assassinate our sect's disciples. His actions provoked discord within the True Gang Sect. Therefore, his cultivation was crippled. In order to prevent him from harming the sect due to dissatisfaction, 90% of his essence, qi and spirit were dispersed as punishment! "
After finishing his words, Ancestor Stargazer sighed again, "Why bother? Duoxing, you have at least five years to live. In these years, you can try to do something about human relations, or leave a trace of your bloodline. Then you won't waste your life in this world! "
This sentence sounded like pity, but it was actually a death sentence for He Duoxing. Everyone gasped. He Duoxing, who had turned into an old man, rolled his eyes and fainted!
On the other hand, He Duoxing's father, He Wanshan, was kneeling on the ground. The corners of his mouth were twitching and the veins on his forehead were throbbing wildly. Anyone could tell that He Wanshan was extremely angry.
No matter who encountered such a thing, they would be extremely angry. His cultivation was abolished, and 90% of his essence, qi and spirit were dispersed. A young man suddenly became so old that he couldn't be any older. This was ten times worse than directly killing He Duoxing!
Ling Dong suddenly realized that although Ancestor Stargazer spoke with a compassionate tone, he was extremely vicious when he took action. He didn't hesitate at all. Not only did he punish He Duoxing, but he also eliminated any possible trouble. He was definitely the most ruthless of the ruthless characters!
This move of destroying one person as a warning to others would definitely make the people present not dare to challenge the dignity of the sect leader in the future. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Ancestor Stargazer's sudden appearance to punish the He family was not because He Duoxing had done something shameful, but because the He family was trying to challenge the power of the sect leader!
However, Ancestor Stargazer's next action made Ling Dong realize, "In the future, no matter what, I can't be an enemy of Ancestor Stargazer on the surface! Ancestor Stargazer is not only ruthless, but also decisive and shameless! "
"Wanshan, do you know your mistake?" Looking at He Wanshan kneeling there, Ancestor Stargazer finally turned his gaze to He Wanshan and asked softly.
However, He Wanshan seemed to have not heard it. He knelt there, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing wildly. Obviously, he was having some kind of mental struggle, a mental struggle whether to resist or not! After all, his own son was almost killed on the spot, and it was an ending ten times worse than death!
"Sigh, why bother …" Old Man Stargazer let out a sigh that bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind. He flicked his finger lightly, and the instant a green light exploded, a pale silver shackle-like object suddenly floated out from the top of Old Ancestor Stargazer's head, and instantly landed on He Wanshan's body!
When the pale silver shackle fell, He Wanshan glared angrily, as if he was resisting. However, the green light that exploded from Ancestor Stargazer's finger made He Wanshan's body tremble, and in an instant, he lost the ability to resist!
The pale silver shackle was successfully put on He Wanshan's body. The silver light suddenly exploded, and in an instant, it was hidden in He Wanshan's body!
"Ah …" He Wanshan, who was shackled by the light silver shackles, let out an inhuman scream. He curled up on the ground, and the veins on his forehead turned blood red in an instant. Cold sweat rolled down his face. In just a few breaths' time, he looked like he had been fished out of the water!
"Hiss …" Seeing this scene, Ling Dong gasped again. A strong man in the middle stage of Heaven-gang Realm was disposed of by Ancestor Stargazer in this way. This martial artist in Gang Spirit Realm was too powerful!
The torture for He Wanshan came and went quickly. After a minute or two, He Wanshan stood up again, and his expression had returned to calmness. However, there was obviously a kind of extreme fear in his eyes for Ancestor Stargazer.
"Wanshan, you blackmailed the head and offended your superiors. This is a big taboo for our True Gang Sect. We should have killed you as an example. However, considering that your skills are not easy to come by, and knowing that you are angry because of Duo Xing, we set the Soul Shackle restriction to supervise you. You are still the head of Commandeering Talisman Peak. In the future, you should do your best to serve the sect. If your performance is outstanding, the Soul Shackle will disappear by itself after ten years! "
Ancestor Stargazer's words made He Wanshan and all the people present shudder!
It was the first time for Ling Dong to hear about the Soul Shackle, but no one was stupid. However, no one present was stupid. Judging from the name and the process of the Spirit Shackles falling, it must be a powerful method to restrict the Spirit. Probably from now on, He Wanshan's life and death would be completely in the hands of Ancestor Stargazer.
Ancestor Stargazer could make He Wanshan live or die with a thought!
Moreover, in Ling Dong's view, Ancestor Stargazer's words, "If your performance is outstanding, the Soul Shackle will disappear by itself after ten years", were completely fooling everyone, in order not to make the strong men in Heaven-gang Realm present too scared!
The sentence "if your performance is outstanding" meant that as long as Ancestor Stargazer was willing, He Wanshan would be controlled by Ancestor Stargazer for the rest of his life. Ten years was probably just to give He Wanshan a hope, a hope to serve the sect!
"Grand-disciple … He Wanshan … Thank you for not killing … Ancestor …" Even though he was punished so severely, he still had to kneel and kowtow to admit his mistake.
Looking at Ancestor Stargazer controlling the life and death of the strong men in Heaven-gang Realm and making them submit, Ling Dong couldn't help but have a strong desire in his heart, "I want to become stronger, I want to become as strong as Ancestor Stargazer, or even surpass him! Only in this way can I completely control my own fate, the fate of my family! "
Just as Ling Dong was shouting secretly, Ancestor Stargazer began to punish the others again, "He Wanmu intended to rebel against his superiors, abusing his position for personal gain. However, considering his contribution to the sect in the past, I order him to face the wall in the Demon Refining Hall for three years! Liu Banxiu is the same, but she stopped in time and went to face the wall in the Demon Refining Hall for half a year! "
Hearing this punishment, the strong man in Heaven-gang Realm named Liu Banxiu couldn't help but tremble like a sieve, as if the Demon Refining Hall was hell on earth. Ling Dong didn't know all of this now!
The next moment, Ling Dong's ears were pricked up, because Ancestor Stargazer mentioned him in the punishment!
"Ling Dong insulted his superiors. Although it was out of righteous indignation, he also needs to be punished. For the time being, he is grounded for three months to reflect on his mistakes. He is not allowed to leave the Hundred Formation Peak for no reason!" Compared to the He family's punishment, which was worse than death for He Duoxing, Ling Dong's confinement for three months to reflect on his mistakes was simply the difference between heaven and earth. It was no different from no punishment!
Originally, hearing this light punishment, and comparing it to the He family's punishment that couldn't be more miserable. One suddenly became a cripple waiting to die, the other had a Divine Soul Restriction Spell, and the other had to face the wall in the Demon Refining Hall for three years. Ling Dong should have laughed out loud, but Ling Dong's face suddenly turned bitter, and he was very distressed!
"Zhang Bingzheng, Geng Yanlie, the two of you are a jinx to the public. I have two Nine Transformation Spirit Seizing Pills here, which can be equivalent to five years of bitter cultivation. I will give them to the two of you!" After the punishment, Ancestor Stargazer rewarded.
Hearing the name of the Nine Transformation Spirit Seizing Pill, many Heaven-gang Realm strong men's eyes immediately turned red! A pill that could increase five years of bitter cultivation was equivalent to saving five years of bitter cultivation, which was equivalent to saving five years of time. The preciousness of it was absolutely immeasurable!
Looking at Ancestor Stargazer's action of giving out a big stick and buying people's hearts, Ling Dong could only sigh in admiration. "There are rewards and punishments, and there's still hope. This Ancestor Stargazer is really amazing, as expected of a wise old man!"
After a few more words of encouragement to the Heaven-gang Realm strong men present, Ancestor Stargazer gave the order to disperse everyone. Ancestor Stargazer's position in True Dipper Sect was already extremely high, and with today's unpredictable ability, everyone naturally kept quiet out of fear.
After the Heaven-gang Realm strong men left, even Elder He Duo Xing, who was so old that his bones were fractured, was carried away. Ling Dong wanted to return with his beautiful master, Qiu Qingyi, but Ancestor Stargazer, who hadn't left yet, spoke again, "Ling Dong, you stay!"
"Grand-disciple will take his leave!" Hearing Ancestor Stargazer's words, Qiu Qingyi glanced at Ling Dong and also left! Then, only Chu Fangyue, Ling Dong, and Ancestor Stargazer were left at the scene!
"Master, can you change the way you punish me? Confining me for three months is really …"
"Hmph, what's wrong? You think it's too light? You're really a troublemaker. You've caused such a big mess on your first day in True Dipper Sect! " Ancestor Stargazer snorted coldly. In the next moment, a green light flashed. When Chu Fangyue looked again, Ling Dong and Ancestor Stargazer had disappeared at the same time!
Seeing that Ancestor Stargazer had left, Chu Fangyue heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. At this moment, Chu Fangyue was glad that he had made the right choice. Luckily, he had protected Ling Dong!
Otherwise, seeing how much Ancestor Stargazer cherished Ling Dong, if something really happened to Ling Dong, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sit on the position of Sect Leader steadily!
"In the future, this Ling Dong will be the second ancestor of True Dipper Sect!" After whispering softly, Chu Fangyue flew up and streaked across the sky with a green light, disappearing in an instant!
When Ling Dong's vision darkened and suddenly brightened, Ling Dong found that he had returned to the man-made small valley surrounded by mountains in Stargazer Residence. Ancestor Stargazer had begun to sit there and brew tea again. However, he didn't use a stove to brew tea. Instead, he produced a bunch of flames out of thin air!
"Master?" Ling Dong called out softly. He was full of bitterness. Confining him for three months was really unacceptable. Even if he had to be whipped 30 times, he couldn't be confined for three months.
It wasn't that Ling Dong couldn't bear the loneliness. On the contrary, if time allowed, Ling Dong was very willing to undergo closed-door training for three months to half a year to rapidly improve his cultivation!
However, time didn't allow him to do so. Zi Yao's auction in Alkaid City for the position of Leader of Kuixing Pavilion would begin in one and a half months! Ling Dong estimated that he could stay in True Dipper Sect for another month at most. Then, he would return to Alkaid City in Alkaid Empire to help Zi Yao prepare for the auction!
Ling Dong was determined to win the position of Leader of Kuixing Pavilion! Especially now that he had seen that True Dipper Sect, which was guarded by Ancestor Stargazer, was destroyed by Tian Kui Sect in the future, the position of Leader of Kuixing Pavilion was even more important.
"Well? What's wrong? Do you have any opinion about what happened today? "Ancestor Stargazer asked calmly in the steam of Xiao Xiao.
"No …"
"Then what's wrong? What do you want to ask? Just ask. I'll answer your questions! I know that you must have a lot of questions after seeing that scene today. That's why I brought you here! "Ancestor Stargazer said.
Hearing this, Ling Dong's heart skipped a beat. After his Adam's apple moved, he asked carefully, "Really? Master, I'll ask now."
Ling Dong felt that he needed such an opportunity so much!
