Chapter 614: Chapter 614: Cave Sky Artifact_1
With her hair disheveled, Shen Junrou opened her eyes to see the unfamiliar and indifferent faces. She never thought that after escaping from the tumultuous Suifeng, striving to live peacefully and doing what she desired, she would still be unable to escape her destiny, being captured by the Zhuo Family and brought back to Suifeng.
Shen Junrou made no attempt to resist, she faced the so-called trial of the crowd with equanimity, indifferent to joy or sorrow.
"Gentlemen, this woman harbors a venomous heart, guilty of murdering her father and kin, her crime must be punished! I am a dear friend of Shen Yongji, so today, I will deliver justice, avenge the Shen’s, and purge the family disgrace. We should behead her publically to appease the spirit of Shen!"
Once Zhuo Kun finished speaking, a clansman handed him a long knife. Holding the knife, Zhuo Kun addressed Shen Junrou, "I am quick with the blade, as is my knife. The moment I move my wrist, you will die without feeling any pain. If you don’t wish to die, tell us where Su Cheng is, or call him, ask him to save you."
Shen Junrou remained silent and closed her eyes.
From within the crowd, Su Chengyu also understood that the Zhuo’s captured Shen Junrou to bait him into revealing himself. He couldn’t bear to stand by and watch her die before his eyes.
This was the bottom line and true heart of Su Chengyu.
Just as Zhuo Kun raised his blade, Su Chengyu couldn’t hold back and attacked. The force of his thumb flew out, but Zhuo Kun quickly responded, cutting down with his blade, his sword energy dissolving Su Chengyu’s thumb force.
Zhuo Kun’s face brightened. When someone attacked, he knew it was Su Chengyu hiding in the crowd. Zhuo Kun loudly called out, "Su Cheng! I know you’re here, why don’t you show yourself, stop hiding? You had the guts to annihilate the Jin family, the courage to kill Shen Yongji, but now you’re a coward?"
As the saying goes, a man’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow. Su Cheng’s name was presently the crowning glory of Suifeng, highly intimidating. When Zhuo Kun called out Su Cheng’s name, it immediately caused an uproar.
Su Chengyu stopped hiding as well, removed his Disguise Talisman, and walked out of the crowd.
"I wiped out the Jin family and also murdered Shen Yongji, and she had nothing to do with it! Isn’t your motive to force me into revealing myself to seize my Martial Arts Secret Manual? There’s no need to make life difficult for her, let her go."
Walking straight out of the crowd, individuals surrounded him, moving aside to clear a path for him.
Upon seeing Su Chengyu actually showing himself, Shen Junrou finally understood the true purpose of her capture by the Zhuo’s. She understood that she was just a bait, no wonder the Zhuo’s went through great hardship, pursuing thousands of miles to capture her.
Shen Junrou became filled with guilt but was powerless, she shouted loudly, "Don’t worry about me, let them kill me, I’m not afraid."
"Shut up!"
Zhuo Kun slapped Shen Junrou. He then said, "Su Cheng, stop talking nonsense here! The Zhuo family has their ancestral martial arts, how could we crave your Martial Arts Secret Manual. You think too highly of yourself."
"Well, what do you want?" Su Chengyu asked indifferently.
"God is compassionate and kind. Although you’ve committed numerous sins, the Zhuo family is merciful and recognizes your cultivation as no easy feat, so we are offering you a chance to live! We will confine you to the Zhuo’s for ten years, after ten years, if your heart has changed, you will be set free."
Zhuo Qian spoke with a face full of righteousness and compassion.
Upon hearing this, someone in the crowd immediately praised, "The Zhuo family head is indeed kind and merciful, truly admirable."
Su Chengyu laughed loudly, "So this is your scheme, not only desiring the Martial Arts Secret Manual but also wanting me to serve the Zhuo’s, exploiting me for elixir refinement. What a convoluted plot!"
Su Chengyu unabashedly exposed the Zhuo’s devious plot. Those who just praised the Zhuo’s mercy realized their mistake, cursing Zhuo Qian, this cunning fox! Their schemes were grand!
If the Zhuo’s really enslaved a cultivator at their will, they would no doubt become the first wealthy family in the eastern six provinces within a short time.
At this moment, Tu Qian, a disciple of Xuanmen stepped in and said, "This youngster, who killed my Xuanmen disciples, must pay with his life, being imprisoned for ten years is not enough to wash away his sins. This villain must be killed!"
"Tu, since he has revealed himself in my Zhuo’s, we will handle it. If you want to kill him, we can talk about it after ten years." Zhuo Qian retorted.
Tu Qian sneered, "I don’t think you can keep him."
"There’s no need for you to worry about it, Tu."
Zhuo Qian concluded, fixing his attention back on Su Chengyu, "Su Cheng, if you surrender willingly, give up resistance, you may live! After ten years, you will be free. Otherwise, as you’ve seen, TuQian is set on killing you, it will be impossible for you to leave the Zhuo’s alive. By confining you, we are simply protecting you."
The Zhuo’s plotted so slyly, wishing to further their cause and make a virtue of necessity, which was in essence ridiculous!
Su Chengyu knew that a fierce battle was inevitable today. More importantly, his first task was to save Shen Junrou, freeing his hands to fight.
"Alright! Let her free first. You Zhuo’s are willing to harm a helpless woman and then talk about kindness and mercy?"
Su Chengyu played along with the plan.
"She has committed parricide and fratricide. These crimes permit no mercy, she must be killed. How else can I face the departed Shen?"
Now that Su Chengyu had revealed himself, Shen Junrou held no value for the Zhuo’s. Zhuo Qian gave a signal, and an attack was immediately launched by Zhuo Kun. With a sweep of his long knife, the blade’s energy was unleashed toward Shen Junrou.
"Despicable and shameless!"
Su Chengyu’s expression changed. In the next moment, he disappeared from where he stood, appearing in front of Shen Junrou. His fist shot out like a dragon, mana gushing, dissolving the blade’s energy.
Immediately following that, Su Chengyu activated the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, and a ray of light shone down, drawing Shen Junrou into the small world within the map. Then Su Chengyu put away the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map.
Seeing the ability of the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map to accommodate a living being, Tu Qian’s face changed dramatically as he exclaimed, "A Cave Sky Artifact?!"
As a member of Xuanmen, Tu Qian naturally had deeper knowledge of magic artifacts than others. He knew that neither a storage bag nor a storage ring could contain living beings.
The exception were treasures with their own small worlds, known as Cave Sky Artifacts, refined only by those powerful beings in the Cave Sky Realm, and were extremely rare.
Given that there was only one Cave Sky Artifact in Xuanmen, it was surprising that this unheard-of youngster had one; Tu Qian was shocked and filled with envy.
"I must seize this Cave Sky Artifact!"
Upon hearing Tu Qian’s words, the Zhuo brothers were more excited. Even though they hadn’t seen a Cave Sky Artifact before, they had heard of it. The moment they took down Su Chengyu, it was as if they had acquired a Cave Sky Artifact. Even if the Zhuo’s were to encounter danger one day, they could hide within the Cave Sky Artifact for refuge. Its utility was boundless.
