Chapter 108 - Public Trial of Shen Zhao

Inside the Hall of Longevity, Heavenly Severance Holy Land.

"Sect Master, you must make the decision for us."

"Our Sect Master was harmed by a villain, not even a corpse remains."

"Heavenly Severance Holy Land is a model for all sects. Please, Sect Master, make the decision for us and bring the murderer to justice!"

The elders of the Clear Sky Sect were crying and sniffling as they appealed to the woman seated at the head of the hall. She was dressed in a luxurious goose-down robe, her posture was noble, and her expression was alluring.

The woman was a vision of beauty, her skin as white as snow and seemingly delicate enough to break with a breath. She sat quietly in the main seat, holding a crystal-clear spirit pet in her arms and gently stroking it.

What was even more eye-catching was a slender, fair leg exposed to the air, which, as it gently rubbed, inevitably stirred the imagination.

The woman was Ning Ruoxue, the current sect master of the Heavenly Severance Holy Land. A century ago, her cultivation had already reached the sixth rank of the No-Self Realm.

Though beautiful, no one dared to harbor even a hint of disrespectful thoughts towards her.

Ning Ruoxue's ability to maintain her position as the Heavenly Severance Holy Land's sect master wasn't solely due to her appearance.

On the contrary, she was ruthless, extremely protective of her own, and would stop at nothing to safeguard the interests of her sect.

More importantly, she was the disciple of the current Profound Heaven Empress. With this identity, who would dare to touch her?

Today, the people from the Clear Sky Sect had arrived, naturally to seek help from the Heavenly Severance Holy Land regarding the matter of Elder Shen Lingfeng and Sect Master Duanmu Long being harmed by Shen Zhao outside the Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm.

In addition to this, many families that had suffered suppression due to the Yin Heavenly Dynasty's reforms also sought protection from the Holy Land.

If possible, it would be best if Ning Ruoxue could come forward and request the Profound Heaven Empress to appear, to abolish Yu Xiyan's position as Emperor and secure their own positions.

After listening to these people's requests, Ning Ruoxue's expression remained calm: "Has the Clear Sky Sect not done enough disgusting things over the years? I advised them before to be more restrained, but did they listen to a single word? It's only natural that they're in this situation now."

Lu Guan, the Clear Sky Sect's third elder, immediately retorted, "Sect Master Ning, the Clear Sky Sect pays its dues to the Holy Land every year. Now that something major has happened to our Sect Master, how can the Holy Land stand idly by?"

"Did I say I wouldn't do anything? Elder Lu, what do you mean by that?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Guan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Sect Master Ning, please calm down. I was too anxious, I didn't..."

"Alright..." Ning Ruoxue interrupted him. "I will naturally handle this matter. Who is the culprit?"

Lu Guan was overjoyed: "His name is Shen Zhao."

"Shen Zhao? Alright, I understand. I will immediately have someone contact him to come to my Heavenly Severance Holy Land for judgment."

"Thank you, Sect Master Ning."

Lu Guan was overjoyed when he heard this. With the Heavenly Severance Holy Land stepping forward, he could avenge Duanmu Long, and he would also naturally become the new Clear Sky Sect master.

"Is there anything else?"

Ning Ruoxue was somewhat annoyed. The urgent matters at hand were her disciple Lü Baichuan's wedding ceremony and inviting the Profound Heaven Empress to attend. As for the rest, they were trivial matters that could even be ignored.

"Sect Master Ning, I am Chu Sheng, the fourth prince of Great Xia. I have come to the Holy Land to ask Sect Master Ning to preside over justice."

Ning Ruoxue looked at the ordinary-looking man, who was about thirty years old, and asked in a soft voice, "What is the matter, Prince Chu?"

Chu Sheng said, "My younger brother was framed a year ago outside the Fuxi Abyss and has been lying at home, unable to cultivate. The culprit is also Shen Zhao. I ask Sect Master Ning to uphold justice for Great Xia."

Ning Ruoxue couldn't help but frown. What kind of nonsense was coming to the Heavenly Severance Holy Land? Did these guys think this was a market?

Also, why was it this Shen Zhao again? Who exactly was he?

"I don't want to be involved in mundane affairs, but since the suspect is the same person, I don't mind handling it together."

Chu Sheng immediately clasped his hands, "Thank you, Sect Master Ning."

Ning Ruoxue sighed softly, handed the spirit beast in her arms to a nearby maid, and then covered her beautiful legs with her skirt as she stood up. "This is interesting. The Yin Heavenly Dynasty's prospective son-in-law is called Shen Zhao, and he ruined your aristocratic families' positions?"

Those great Yin aristocratic families lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Then she pointed at Supreme Beginning Peak, "And you, the outer sect elder of your Supreme Beginning Peak also became a useless person who cannot cultivate because of Shen Zhao?"

The Supreme Beginning Peak disciples looked at each other.

"And you, the prince of Great Xia, also lost face because of Shen Zhao?"

"The Clear Sky Sect's Sect Master and an elder also died at Shen Zhao's hands?"

"Heh, I really didn't expect that in just a few short years, such a figure would emerge in the Nine Realms of the Immortal Martial Continent."

"Very well, then let's deal with Shen Zhao's matter before the Saint Son's wedding."

"Alright, you may all leave."

After saying this, Ning Ruoxue waved her hand, dismissing everyone. She then left the bustling crowd and eagerly walked towards the back courtyard chambers.

As soon as Ning Ruoxue left, Chu Sheng immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "Damn it, I, Chu Sheng, the fourth prince of Great Xia, actually had to lower my voice and speak to a woman. Thinking about it really makes me furious!"

The people around him immediately looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

Chu Sheng's next sentence was even more explosive: "One day, I will definitely refine her into a cauldron, only then can I relieve the shame of today..."

The guards beside him were so frightened that their legs almost went weak. They quickly covered his mouth: "Your Highness, please stop courting death. This is the Heavenly Severance Holy Land, not Great Xia."

Chu Sheng pried open his mouth, "So what? She's just a woman, no matter how capable she is. I hate those women who think they're something special just because they have a little skill."

The onlookers around were collectively dumbfounded.

Seriously, are the Crown Prince's quality and IQ in Great Xia really like this? If you want to die, don't drag us down with you, okay?

In the Heavenly Severance Holy Land's backyard, belonging to the sect master's private residence.

In a large room, a handsome-faced youth was lying on a couch, his face pale and devoid of color.

But the women serving beside him all had slightly blushed faces when they saw the youth, deeply attracted by his unbelievably handsome appearance, and they wished to be closer to him.

This youth was none other than Lin Feng, who was almost killed by Shen Zhao in the Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm.

It has to be said, the Son of Destiny really has a tough life. When he was injured and jumped into the spatial rift, he happened to be transported to the Northern Region, and just happened to be found by Ning Ruoxue.

And Lin Feng was also so handsome, and the pure yang aura he emitted also made Ning Ruoxue's heart flutter. She then rescued him and had been keeping him in her room to recuperate.

When Lin Feng slowly woke up, Ning Ruoxue also quickly entered the room.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

Upon seeing the awakened youth, she hurried forward, not caring about the strange looks from the others, and went straight to the bed to sit down, holding his hand gently: "Ah Feng, you're awake? How are you feeling today?"

"Sect Master, I..."

Lin Feng glanced around, then lowered his head in embarrassment.

"You all go out."

After the maid left, Ning Ruoxue hugged Lin Feng tightly: "Xiao Feng, is it alright now?"

The soft embrace made Lin Feng's heart race.

He opened his arms, unsure whether to embrace her or not.

After a long while, seeing that Lin Feng hadn't moved, Ning Ruoxue finally let go, her face flushed with shyness: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself just now. You, you're not mad at me, are you?

Actually, I'm not that kind of woman, please don't misunderstand..."

Lin Feng shook his head: "Sect Master, how could I be mad at you? I don't know how many lifetimes of good fortune it took for me to meet the Sect Master."

"Don't call me Sect Master, Xiao Feng, you can call me Ruoxue." Ning Ruoxue's cheeks were red, and she cautiously looked at Lin Feng.

Faced with the favor of the Heavenly Severance Holy Land Sect Master, Lin Feng's heart beat even faster, and he couldn't help but grasp Ning Ruoxue's hand.

Just as he was about to say a few sweet nothings, a sharp pain erupted from his ruptured sea of qi, contorting his face.

"Xiao Feng, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Ning Ruoxue panicked, quickly channeling her spiritual energy to stabilize Lin Feng's injuries.

A moment later, Lin Feng recovered.

Ning Ruoxue took his pulse, her expression grave. "Who on earth injured you like this? I won't let them get away with it."

Lin Feng shook his head. "Ruoxue, I was injured while exploring the Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm. It's no one else's fault."

Hearing Lin Feng call her name, Ning Ruoxue felt a sweetness bloom in her heart, like she'd eaten honey.

In just over a dozen days of being together, she felt as though she couldn't live without this handsome young man. She'd even imagined what it would be like to be a wife and mother.

This is the effect of the Pure Yang physique: as long as he spends a long time with a woman, he can quickly gain her favor.

"Even if it's a secret realm exploration, they shouldn't have been so ruthless. Lin Feng, tell me, who hurt you? Don't worry, in the current Nine Realms, there isn't anyone my Heavenly Severance Holy Land can't deal with!"

Lin Feng lowered his head, "Forget it, Ruoxue. It's all because I wasn't skilled enough; I can't blame others."

Ning Ruoxue insisted, "No, the person who hurt you must pay the price. Lin Feng, don't overthink it, tell me who it was?"

After Ning Ruoxue repeatedly asked, Lin Feng slowly said, "It was a person named Shen Zhao who hurt me. Ruoxue, don't go looking for him. He's very strong and is cunning and ruthless. I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

"Shen Zhao? Shen Zhao again!"

Ning Ruoxue's face was covered in frost.

Lin Feng was surprised, "Ruoxue, you know Shen Zhao too?"

Ning Ruoxue shook her head and told Lin Feng about the various forces in the Longevity Hall today requesting the Heavenly Severance Holy Land to sanction Shen Zhao.

"Don't worry, Xiaofeng, I will make the person who hurt you pay the price. Shen Zhao, is it? I will make him kneel and apologize to you in front of all the Profound Gate sects in the world."

Speaking of this, she paused: "However, your injuries are the most important thing right now. Your Qi Sea has been damaged by a peculiar Dao rhythm and law. It will take quite some time to recover.

During this time, don't think about anything else. After my disciple's ceremony, I will definitely help you reshape your Yuan Dan."

Hearing that his Qi Sea might not be repairable, Lin Feng's hatred for Shen Zhao deepened.

He also lamented why his fate was so difficult.

However, the next sentence rekindled Lin Feng's hope.

"You don't have to worry. If the Heavenly Severance Holy Land can't help you reshape your Yuan Dan, my master definitely can. She is the current Profound Heaven Empress of the Profound Heaven Immortal Dynasty. There is nothing my master cannot do in this world."

"Profound Heaven Empress?!"

Lin Feng was shocked, never expecting the Heavenly Severance Holy Land to have such a deep background.

Thinking of this, he decided to win Ning Ruoxue's heart, hoping to climb the Profound Heaven Dynasty, and pave the way for his ambitions.
