You Call This Punishment?

Although the Demonic Shadow Sect backed down, the Vast Heaven Sect and Martial Emperor City were not having it.

Zheng Yu was rescued by Chu Xinghe during this incident, while Chu Xinghe ultimately escaped unharmed.

But as Gu Mingchao said.

By messing with Chu Xinghe, the Demonic Shadow Sect had crossed the line with the Vast Heaven Sect.

This time, the Vast Heaven Sect will absolutely not let this go.

The powerful figures from the Vast Heaven Sect and Martial Emperor City gathered in Tianrun City, their target this time being Demonic Shadow City.

Chu Xinghe was so excited he couldn't sleep. The Vast Heaven Sect and the Demonic Shadow Sect Martial Emperor City were at war with the Demon Shadow Sect. Even though everyone knew the outcome— the Demonic Shadow Sect would ultimately lose—once such a large-scale battle broke out, who wouldn't suffer some losses?

Finally, God has opened His eyes! Seeing all the hardships I've endured, is He going to lend me a hand?

But this happiness lasted less than a day before a piece of news made Chu Xinghe so angry he cursed!

"Sect Master, Demonic Shadow City was destroyed overnight. All members of the Demonic Shadow Sect have evacuated Demonic Shadow City, and their current whereabouts are unknown..."

When the news arrived, Chu Xinghe nearly coughed up blood and died.

What the heck?

Did the Demonic Shadow Sect destroy Demonic Shadow City and then run away?

Do you even deserve to be called the Demonic Sect?

Do you have any dignity left in the Demonic Sect?

Do you want to order something shameless?

What happened to the promised big battle?

What happened to the agreed-upon losses?

The enemy hasn't even arrived yet, and your Demonic Sect has already run away... Bah... Despicable!

Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost cried.

However, this news caused a stir throughout the world.

First of all, the fact that the Vast Heaven Sect and the Martial Emperor City would go to war with the Demonic Shadow Sect over one person has already shocked everyone.

Unexpectedly, the Demonic Shadow Sect dared not provoke either of these two forces and chose to escape in such a humiliating manner.

Although Demonic Shadow City was destroyed, the Demonic Shadow Sect lost all face.

However, all parties secretly approved of the Demonic Shadow Sect's actions.

The Demonic Shadow Sect is very strong; in fact, most of the Ten Great Sects cannot compare to this powerful Demonic Shadow Sect.

But can the Demonic Shadow Sect possibly win against the combined full-scale attacks of the Vast Heaven Sect and the Martial Emperor City?

If we choose to defend Demonic Shadow City, there will only be one outcome: not only will Demonic Shadow City be destroyed, but countless powerful figures from the Demonic Sect will also perish there.

Therefore, the Demonic Shadow Sect's choice was perfectly correct.

At the same time, the Demonic Shadow Sect's actions were also a show of weakness to the Vast Heaven Sect and the Martial Emperor City, and an attempt to end this upheaval that shook the entire world.

It all started with one person, and it swept across the world because of one person.

Vast Heaven Sect... Martial Emperor City... various sects... and Demonic Shadow Sect...

The upheaval was all caused by Chu Xinghe alone.

The Demonic Shadow Sect has even lost their sacred Demonic Shadow City; this time, the Demonic Sect has truly suffered a major loss.

Chu Xinghe's name spread far and wide.

Everyone knows that there is one person in the Vast Heaven Sect who is not to be trifled with, and that person is Chu Xinghe.

Did I offend him?

Look at what happened to the Demonic Shadow Sect, look at what happened to the Jade Void Palace.

As the turmoil gradually subsided, Zheng Yu from Martial Emperor City also came to bid farewell to Chu Xinghe.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, we are about to return to the Senior Brother Xinghe. Zheng Yu will never forget your kindness this time. If you ever need anything in Senior Brother Xinghe future, please just say the word, and Zheng Yu will go through fire and water for you."

Zheng Yu looked serious, and many bigwigs from the Vast Heaven Sect and Martial Emperor City nodded in agreement.

After the people from Martial Emperor City left, Zheng Yu still kept turning back to look at Chu Xinghe, but this time the look in Zheng Yu eyes was no longer one of provocation and defiance, but rather gratitude and respect.

The Vast Heaven Sect members also left Tianrun City and returned to the Vast Heaven Sect, except that they were accompanied by a little guy named Feng Yuzheng.

Feng Yuyan escorted her younger brother to join Chu Xinghe at the Vast Heaven Sect.

Feng Yuyan naturally had no worries about her younger brother's situation in the Vast Heaven Sect, since Chu Xinghe had personally stated that he would take care of Feng Yuzheng.

Feng Yuyan knew that Chu Xinghe was the benefactor of the Feng Lineage, and that the Feng Lineage's meteoric rise was entirely due to Chu Xinghe.

The light of the teleportation array appeared within the Vast Heaven Sect.

Countless disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect are now waiting in front of the teleportation array.

"Welcome back in triumph, Sect Master!" Countless disciples bowed in greeting.

Gu Mingchao smiled and waved his hand, then led everyone to the Haotian Palace.

Inside the Haotian Grand Hall, the elders of all the palaces gathered. Chu Xinghe stood in the center of the hall and recounted in detail everything that had happened.

However, relying on his ability to make things up, he wasn't worried about any problems.

After all, even if there were problems, the people from the Demonic Shadow Sect had already taken precautions, right?

Even though the sect leader and many elders already knew everything, they couldn't help but show their approval after hearing Chu Xinghe's account.

"Sect Master... I beg you to punish me for leaking the sect's secret techniques."

Chu Xinghe knelt beside Gu Mingchao; this was Chu Xinghe's last effort.

"Xinghe... the Haotian Battle Intent you imparted to Meng Yong was fake, so how can you claim it was leaked? Moreover, by using this technique to kill Meng Yong, you not only escaped blame but actually gained merit."

"Not bad... The whole world is buzzing with the news that the Demonic Sect Devil Venerable the Demonic Sect was tricked and killed by a junior from the Vast Heaven Sect. The Demonic Shadow Sect has lost all face."

"This is a merit, how can it be a fault?"

The elders also chimed in with their own opinions.

"Sect Master, I wasn't referring to the Haotian Battle Intent, but to the Divine Stone-Pointing Art- Divine Stone-Pointing Art to Meng Yong, so it was indeed leaked, and I should be punished for that."

As soon as Chu Xinghe spoke, many elders were moved.

Look at Xinghe!

In fact, the Divine Stone-Pointing Art was originally created by Xinghe himself, bringing immense benefits to the sect.

Even if it gets leaked, it won't matter, right?

But Xinghe felt guilty because of this. Look at that child, he's really something else.

If someone else had gone through all that, wouldn't they be boasting about it to the heavens?

But Xinghe, instead of boasting about his actions, is constantly looking for his own mistakes, and now he's even offering to be punished. What a magnanimous heart he has!

However, when the Divine Stone-Pointing Art, the elders realized that while everyone was focused on the affairs of the Demonic Sect, they shouldn't forget what Xinghe had done in Spirit City.

He manipulated everyone in the world, securing the most terrifying Tianyi Spirit Mine in history for the Vast Heaven Sect.

Faced with the threat from the Shi Clan, Xinghe personally nurtured Wang Tieniu, a genius who could turn stones into gold.

I heard that Wang Tieniu can now achieve a stone extraction rate of over 80%!

This is something even the head and elders of the Shi Clan might not be able to do.

Moreover, Wang Tieniu has recently trained many disciples in the Stone-Pointing Technique, and each of them is exceptionally talented.

Qin Xiangqian reported that, at this rate, in two years at most, the Vast Heaven Sect would no longer need any contracts with the Shi Clan, and the Vast Heaven Sect (a type of stone).

Five years later, the Vast Heaven Sect was even able to take on outside orders, becoming a sect with the extraordinary ability to turn stones into gold.

Qin Xiangqian even stated that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was confident that, ten years from now, the Vast Heaven Sect Shi Clan the largest stone-refining sect in the world.

Xinghe's actions in Spirit City have essentially paved the way for the Future of the Vast Heaven Sect.

But the child didn't take credit at all; instead, he reflected on his own mistakes.

The Grand Elder had previously worried that this incident might make Chu Xinghe arrogant and complacent.

Now the Grand Elder is relieved. Xinghe is indeed still the same Xinghe. He never seeks credit for what he has done for the sect, but always asks for punishment for what he has done wrong.

This child... truly is a blessing from Vast Heaven!

"Good child, I already know about this, but since you say you want to be punished, then I will punish you."

Gu Mingchao suddenly spoke, and his words surprised many of the elders.

But soon everyone laughed.

"You'll be punished by being sent to the Technique Repository Tower. From today onwards, you'll not only have to learn the Haotian Battle Intent, but you'll also have to understand all the techniques in the Technique Repository Tower... After all, you're not an ordinary disciple; these are things you'll have to do sooner or later."

Chu Xinghe was stunned when Gu Mingchao said those words...

Damn it?

Is this punishment? Sect Master, you call this punishment?

Look, my Misfortune Compass isn't even reacting the slightest bit. Can you call that punishment?

The elders laughed, but a hint of surprise was also in their eyes.

What does it mean to be an extraordinary disciple? It means you'll have to do it sooner or later.

In the Vast Heaven Sect, the Technique Repository Tower is arguably the most important place, containing all the Vast Heaven Sect's cultivation techniques. Under normal circumstances, even elders don't need to understand them all.

After all, there are just too many of them.

There is only one person who needs to understand everything and has a general understanding of every technique in the Technique Repository Tower, and that is Sect Gu Mingchao.

The Vast Heaven Sect also has an unwritten rule: whoever wants to become the sect leader in the Future must first gradually master all the techniques in the Technique Repository Tower. Understanding the Technique Repository Tower is the first step.

Next, you need to learn about all aspects of the sect, both overt and covert.

Therefore, when Gu Mingchao said these words, everyone understood that he had already made plans to hand over the Gu Mingchao Vast Heaven Sect to Chu Xinghe in the Future.

Although Xinghe is still young, there's nothing wrong with starting to nurture him now.

"Aren't you going to thank the sect leader yet!"

The Grand Elder looked at Chu Xinghe with a solemn expression. Although the Sect Master had not explained, his words had already told everyone everything.

The Grand Elder was extremely satisfied with the reaction of the many elders, because not a single person stood up to object.

But that makes sense; who would object to Xinghe's behavior?

"Thank you, Sect Master..." Chu Xinghe was almost in tears.

Did I break some kind of cardinal rule?

It's one thing that the Misfortune Compass doesn't offer any rewards... but think about the Technique Repository Tower...

My goodness! The Technique Repository Tower has nine levels and is said to hold millions of merits. Do I really need to know all about it?

Isn't this the most terrible punishment in the world?

Misfortune Compass, do you even have a sense of reason?

Is there no justice left? Is there no law?

Chu Xinghe walked out of the Haotian Grand Hall with tears in his eyes. A group of powerful figures couldn't help but sigh as they watched Chu Xinghe leave, wiping away his tears. "This child is crying tears of joy!"

As soon as Chu Xinghe stepped out of the Haotian Grand Hall, countless senior brothers and sisters from the Spirit Crane Palace rushed over upon hearing the news.

Everyone pulled Chu Xinghe aside, asking him about everything that happened on his journey from Spirit City to Tianrun City. Chu Xinghe, with a mournful face, recounted everything...

At this moment, the sorrow in my heart has not only become a river, but it has even begun to flow backward...
