Chapter 470: Chapter 467 Capture

"Fatian Xiangdi!"

When he saw Xue Lingzi ignoring the spatial distance, bizarrely slashing through the air with a single strike, Situ Lie didn’t dare to neglect his reaction. He exerted his full strength, and in an instant, his aura became immensely imposing. The phantom of an ancient giant elephant emerged behind him, symbolizing judgment, fairness, and the essence of verdict.

With the appearance of the ancient giant elephant’s phantom, Situ Lie’s aura surged. His hand grasped at the elusive blood blade that cut through the air, sweeping out like the massive leg of an elephant.

"Blood Splitting Strike!"

Indifferent to Situ Lie’s actions, a cold glint flashed in the depths of Xue Lingzi’s eyes. He suddenly swung the blood blade, and as it traced through the air, the singular blade rapidly expanded and split into three. These three blood blades exploded in the moment they made contact with Situ Lie’s hand seal.

Situ Lie’s offensive instantly evaporated, and even the phantom of the ancient giant elephant behind him dimmed. His complexion shifted in shock. As he was about to gather his attack once more, Xue Lingzi was already upon him like an apparition, his unpredictable saber techniques swiftly enveloping Situ Lie.

They fought for less than ten moves before Situ Lie could no longer defend himself. Even the phantom of the ancient giant elephant behind him was slashed apart by the blood blade, falling into utter defeat.

Being both in the Martial Venerate Realm, Situ Lie, the Punishment Hall Grand Elder, was far inferior to Xue Lingzi. In truth, this was understandable. Although Situ Lie held the position of the Punishment Hall Grand Elder, with high status and significant authority, he was merely an ordinary Sixth Grade Martial Venerate expert at best. Xue Lingzi, on the other hand, was different; he was still very young, under forty years old, with potential and combat strength far surpassing Situ Lie.

Bang!

Suddenly, Xue Lingzi landed a palm on Situ Lie’s chest, sending him reeling backward, spitting blood. Then Xue Lingzi formed a hand seal, and a blood-colored cage, made up of condensed True Yuan, materialized, thoroughly suppressing Situ Sword and imprisoning him inside.

Witnessing this scene, the elders and disciples of Punishment Hall, including Chu Kuang, were all dumbstruck. Situ Lie, the Punishment Hall Grand Elder, who managed the execution of laws within Xuantian Sect and held the power of life and death over many, had been captured by Xue Lingzi.

Punishment Hall was originally the institution responsible for capturing disciples who broke the sect rules, maintaining order. But now, their leader had been captured by a disciple.

The scene was as if the heavens and the earth had been turned upside down, the cosmos in total reversal.

The hierarchy and order between disciples and elders were completely shattered.

Inside Punishment Hall, nobody spoke anymore, because nothing they said would make a difference now. With Xue Lingzi having captured Situ Lie, the Punishment Hall Grand Elder, the latter was utterly powerless. Unless someone could defeat Xue Lingzi, speaking out would only bring disaster upon themselves.

After capturing Situ Lie, Xue Lingzi swiftly left the Punishment Hall, flying toward the depths of Xuantian Sect. It appeared he truly intended to bring Situ Lie before the Sect Master for judgment.

"This madman!"

Xue Lingzi had just escorted Situ Lie away when Chu Kuang finally cursed under his breath. He took a deep breath and then turned his gaze to Ye Xuan, his expression becoming somewhat gloomy.

Originally, he only wanted to take this opportunity to join forces with the Punishment Hall to suppress Ye Xuan a bit and, incidentally, see if he could glean any information related to the disappearance of his brother. However, he didn’t expect this attempt to backfire, resulting not only in his inability to deal with Ye Xuan, but also in the loss of Situ Lie, the Punishment Hall Grand Elder. Now that Xue Lingzi had captured him, his reputation was in tatters.

If the other experts among the Six Gentlemen became aware of this, he would definitely be inexcusable.

"This Elder Brother Xue Lingzi truly has a unique nature, an existence that disregards rules."

The corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth curled up slightly. Xue Lingzi was not the heartless demon as the rumors suggested. On the contrary, the man was someone who pursued his own heart and acted according to his nature. As for the other’s status as a Great Elder or any other identity, what did that matter? In front of Ye Xuan, they were all no more than chickens and dogs.

"Fei Yue, Ye Xuan, today’s events won’t end so easily. You just wait."

Chu Kuang knew he wouldn’t gain any advantage by staying any longer, and with Fei Yue present, he couldn’t do anything to Ye Xuan. Moreover, even when Ye Xuan was alone earlier, he hadn’t been able to deal with him, which he attributed to his own carelessness, but this youngster’s tenacity was also a significant reason.

After leaving a harsh threat, Chu Kuang immediately turned and swiftly left.

His Gentleman Sect had suffered such a substantial setback today; they couldn’t just let this grudge go unavenged.

"It seems that our feud with the Gentleman Sect is getting deeper and deeper."

Ye Xuan couldn’t help shaking his head. He wasn’t someone who sought trouble, yet the people of the Gentleman Sect seemed to have zeroed in on him. From the very start, the troubles never stopped.

Although he didn’t want to invite trouble, he wouldn’t show any fear when trouble came knocking, even when recently facing immense pressure and intimidation from Chu Kuang and the Punishment Hall Elders. Not for a moment did he feel any fear.

It might as well come down to a fight to the bitter end. With the incomplete Martial Arts Primordial Spirit guarding him, that Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall couldn’t kill him. Otherwise, constantly retreating and enduring in fear, over time, he would lose the sharpness befitting a Swordsman, the confidence of his past life as the Martial God, and his resolve would be worn away. If his resolve faltered, aspiring to sainthood in the future would undoubtedly become an incredibly difficult task.

"Although this Elder Brother Xue Lingzi helped you out of the crisis, the Gentleman Sect’s target is still you. Chu Kuang, not daring to confront Elder Brother Xue Lingzi, will only vent his anger on you. He will certainly look for an opportunity to take revenge. And that Situ Lie will probably set his sights on you as well." Fei Yue glanced sideways at Ye Xuan, wanting to see his reaction after hearing her words.

To her slight surprise, Ye Xuan showed no panic. He merely nodded noncommittally, then a hint of fighting spirit surged in his eyes. With so many troubles, in the end, it all boiled down to his lack of strength. If he had Xue Lingzi’s cultivation level, would people like Chu Kuang or Situ Lie dare to trouble him?

Seeing this, Fei Yue also nodded silently to herself. Each of them had grown up through such oppression and trials. If one became timid upon facing setbacks, succumbing to cowardice, then they could never truly make a mark, and it wouldn’t be worth her attention anymore.

What she didn’t know was that Ye Xuan had already devised a new cultivation plan in his heart, striving to break through to the Martial Venerate Realm as soon as possible. He intended to deter the Gentleman Sect’s underhanded attacks and establish his authority within the Sect, ensuring that he wouldn’t constantly fall victim to others’ schemes.
