Shen Lingxu shook his head without saying anything, his gaze sweeping across the area below as if searching, finally settling on the few Shen Lineage disciples.
His eyes were icy cold, filled with endless chill and rage.
Several Shen Lineage disciples turned pale and couldn't help but take several steps back. Finally, their legs were too weak, and they collapsed to the ground, staring in horror at the figure in the air.
One of the disciples, unable to bear the gaze any longer, pointed at the ashen-faced youth before him and said, "Clan... Clan leader, this has nothing to do with us! It's all because of him!"
Shen Lingxu glanced coldly at the young man. Although he was now just a divine soul, the oppressive aura emanating from him was still very strong.
The young man lay on the ground, trembling, his face filled with despair. He knew he would definitely be punished, and despair washed over him like a tidal wave.
Shen Lingxu looked at the disciple who had just spoken again, "Tell me the whole story clearly, without hiding anything, or you will bear the consequences!"
The disciple nodded quickly and then recounted what had happened.
After hearing the disciple's words, everyone in the arena turned their gazes to the young man. In an instant, killing intent filled the air, and a red light flashed. Everyone wanted nothing more than to tear the young man apart.
That despicable fellow! If it weren't for his stupidity, this wouldn't have happened. Shen Lingxu even lost his position as clan leader because of it. Anger, endless anger surged within him.
Without a word, Shen Lingxu struck down with a palm, his terrifying aura crushing towards the youth.
Bang!
The young man was completely unable to resist and was instantly smashed into a bloody pulp, a truly horrific scene. Yet everyone applauded and cheered, and not a single person thought the killing was bad.
The remaining Shen Lineage disciples had lost all their strength and couldn't even lift their hands. They stared at the scene in horror, their faces filled with undisguised fear.
It's over!
This was their inner thought: they believed they wouldn't survive either.
Shen Lingxu looked at them, and the group snapped out of their terror, hurriedly begging for mercy and pleading with Shen Lingxu to spare their lives.
Shen Lingxu's face remained expressionless as he coldly said, "Go and receive your punishment yourselves."
Upon hearing this, the disciples were first taken aback, then overjoyed. They knew they wouldn't die, though they might face severe punishment, but that was better than death.
They all expressed their gratitude, then strode away to receive their punishment.
"Well."
Standing there, Shen Lingxu, his expression extremely complicated. He never imagined that one day he would resign under such circumstances. Heh, if this got out, people would probably laugh themselves to death!
An elder hesitated, then said, "Patriarch..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Lingxu shook his head and said, "No need to say anything more. It's all my fault. I was too arrogant, which led to this result. I can't blame anyone else. I will apologize to him in person when I have the chance later."
Upon hearing this, the elders chose to remain silent.
Shen Lingxu calmly said, "Make preparations and see who is capable of taking over the position of the next family head."
The back mountain of the Shen Lineage is a blessed land, a paradise on earth. Stepping into it is like entering a secluded paradise, isolated from the world, quiet and serene. The Immortal Qi atmosphere is rich and thick, like a light veil of mist, swaying and lingering over every inch of land and every medicinal herb.
The lake surface is like a giant mirror, crystal clear, shimmering with sparkling light under the gentle caress of the sun.
In the center of the lake, an elegant pavilion stands out, with an exquisite canopy and upturned eaves.
Su Chen and her grandmother, Shen Yanlan, were chatting idly under the pavilion. They talked about many things. The smile on Shen Yanlan's face never disappeared as she looked at Su Chen with great satisfaction.
As if remembering something, she asked, " Xiao Chen, have you already broken through to the Immortal Emperor?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma."
Shen Yanlan was utterly shocked and speechless for a long time. She was incredibly astonished and incredulous at her grandson's talent for cultivation. Reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm Immortal Realm; it was simply too outrageous.
She snapped out of her reverie and smiled, "My Xiao Chen is truly amazing; he's the most monstrous genius in the entire Immortal Realm, unmatched by anyone."
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "There are countless monstrous geniuses in the Immortal Realm; I wouldn't dare to think that way."
A hint of admiration flashed in Shen Yanlan's eyes, "So humble and composed, what a good child."
Su Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
Shen Yanlan said resentfully, " Yanche and Xiao An were the same; they had you and didn't even tell me, making me miss the age to hold you."
Su Chen looked somewhat embarrassed, but it vanished in an instant. "My parents told me they looked for you, but you didn't see them."
Shen Yanlan's expression stiffened, and she shook her head with a wry smile, "Alright, it's my fault, don't blame them."
Su Chen said seriously, "Grandma, I came here this time to ask you to go back."
Shen Yanlan remained silent, then finally shook her head and said, "I'm not going back. There's no point in going back."
Su Chen asked, "Is it because of Grandpa's matter?"
Shen Yanlan's face flushed instantly, her eyes widening. "That old man told you?"
Su Chen nodded awkwardly.
Shen Yanlan flew into a rage, slamming her hand on the stone table. "He's shameless! How can he talk to you like that?"
Her chest heaved, clearly indicating she was quite angry.
"Cough cough."
Su Chen coughed lightly twice, feigning discomfort, and then said, "Grandma, Grandpa is all better now."
Shen Yanlan, who had been furious, suddenly looked at Su Chen after hearing this, frowning and asking, "Really?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly shook her head and said, "Impossible. I gave him so much medicine and he still couldn't get better. How could he suddenly be cured now?"
Su Chen said earnestly, "Grandma, you'll know when you get back."
Shen Yanlan shook her head and said, "I won't go back. I've already given up on him."
Su Chen felt helpless. After thinking for a moment, he remembered something, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Grandma, I have something to tell you. Mother is pregnant again."
"What!"
Shen Yanlan suddenly stood up, her expression agitated, " Xiao An has broken down again?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, and I might give birth very soon, so are you sure you don't want to go back?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Yanlan immediately replied, "Back, right away!"
Su Chen was taken aback. He hadn't expected his grandmother to agree so readily; it seemed she really wanted a grandson.
Shen Yanlan glanced around and said with a complicated expression, "I'm a little reluctant to leave here all of a sudden."
Su Chen said, "Come back again when you have time."
Shen Yanlan said, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to come back."
Su Chen was stunned. "Why?"
Shen Yanlan said earnestly, "Because I want to dedicate myself to raising my grandson and watching him grow up."
Su Chen smiled and said, "My younger brother is so lucky."
Thank you for the gift! I will keep writing, I will improve, and I will strive to write better and better. I won't let you down. Love you all!
