Chapter 134 Heavy Punch
"Girl, shall we change our Taoist name?" Shen Dingru grabbed Shen Suiren and pulled her towards the exit.

Seeing the terrified look on Shen Shiwu's face, the guard of the tower quickly sent a message to Shen Duzhou, saying, "Dingru, what's going on?"
You should know that this potting soil was brought back by our ancestors; spiritual plants love to take root in it.

This spiritual plant is quite special; the illusory tree shadows it creates are full of vitality.

“Father, Ya Ya is probably not that tree. Look, it’s still a tender bud.” Shen Suiren was quite certain that he had never seen Ya Ya in his previous life. Otherwise, in this life, they should have recognized each other as master upon meeting, and they should have complemented each other perfectly.

However, it's also possible that its own soul had once resided in a creature of the same kind as Ya Ya, which is why it entered its sea of ​​consciousness.

As she spoke, she flicked a top-grade Divine Harmony Pill into her father's mouth.

Shen Dingru was jolted awake by her voice, which was imbued with spiritual power. He looked closely at the green seedling in the pot, which was only about the height of a palm: "It had just grown bigger."

Shen Suiren nodded: "Yes, but it's just an illusion. When we retreat, it will look like this."

Father, you're so concerned that you've lost your composure.

A name or Taoist title is merely a label to distinguish oneself from others in this world; the key lies in one's own cultivation and choices.

“That’s right, Dingru, you’ve been in that Yin Sha place for too long, and your mind has become too heavy.” Shen Duzhou arrived quickly. He had just noticed the changes in the spiritual plants in his home and had been paying attention to the library.

“What the ancestor said is very true. I feel so choked up and I need to find someone to help me clear my mind.”

"At the beginning of the year, I would like to ask you to look after me for the time being." Shen Dingru composed himself, called his daughter by her name as she wished, bowed, and quickly left.

The Little Fox King transmitted his voice, "Should I come along?"

“No need. The Shen family’s most remote spirit field is only two or three hundred miles away. We can get there quickly if anything happens.” After transmitting his voice, Shen Suiren turned to Old Ancestor Shen and said, “Could I have some of this soil?”

Shen Duzhou nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I'll install it for you in a bit."

Beneath this Qiankun Basin lies the Earth Pearl, capable of continuously cultivating top-grade spiritual soil. It can be retrieved whenever needed.

He paused briefly, then said, "What do you think? Should we carry out the execution ahead of schedule?"

"You decide, but I see there are many broken formations here, which seem difficult to take away. Could we study them here for two or three days?" Shen Suiren didn't respond to his suggestion.

The old deacon wanted to say something, but Shen Duzhou had already nodded in agreement, "Feel free to research. If you need blank array plates, array flags, or other array jade slips, just ask the fifteenth elder."

He's been here for years; he knows it better than I do.

"This is a communication tool used exclusively within the library."

"If you have any questions, you can come to me." The old deacon handed her a bamboo bird.

Then, following Shen Duzhou, he left and returned to the first floor. He hurriedly asked, "Ancestor, Sui Chu and her father are always accompanied by spirit beasts. She has been staying in the secret room the whole time. Is that alright?"

Moreover, she was accompanied by an eighth-tier divine bird and a seventh-tier celestial fox.

"It's alright. After they entered the ancestral hall, the two demon kings already met everyone. Sui Chu didn't hide anything from us." Shen Dudan waved his hand. Not many demons like to read, so even if the demon kings wanted to read, he wouldn't stop them.

The old deacon was about to say again, "But, there are some there..."

"It's her good fortune that she was able to see it," Shen Duzhou said, glancing back at the entrance before leaving.

Chongming overheard their conversation from inside, then slipped out of the small space. "The Shen family, they're not bad to befriend."

Before Shen Suiren could respond, she moved the pot of soil aside, and a black coffin suddenly appeared before her eyes.

It was beyond the reach of divine sense, and no energy leaked out from within.

"Whoa, what the hell?" The little fox king jumped out as well.

Shen Suiren hesitated before stepping forward and bowing: "Is it that an elder is in meditation?"

"Chongming?" The little fox king wanted to ask Chongming if there was a person inside, but then he saw her strange eyes. In a few quick movements, she moved the earthen basin back, and the black coffin disappeared.

“At the beginning of that year, I suddenly felt a bit bored. It would be more fun to go down and watch your father beat someone up.” Before Chongming finished speaking, he had already run away.

The Little Fox King winked at Shen Suiren, as if to say, "Do we still want to stay here?"
"Why don't you go find Chongming?" Shen Suiren didn't leave; most of her attention was on the rows of array plates and the array diagrams next to them.

The coffin that can be placed openly in the Shen family's secret chamber must be guarded by someone inside. What is there for a descendant of the Shen family to be afraid of?

The little fox king promptly shrank and jumped onto her shoulder: "No, I'll stay with you."

Shen Suiren bowed to the spot where the black coffin had disappeared, and then eagerly went to retrieve the ancient Nine-Bend Immortal-Falling Array Plate that he had longed for in his previous life.

In no time, she was so engrossed in tracing the array patterns that she didn't utter a single word for most of the day.

The little fox king saw her take out a pile of blank array plates from her storage ring and begin to carve them one by one. However, when she was halfway through carving each one, the array plates shattered on their own.

Then I knew that at the beginning of the year, just like practicing swordsmanship, I had entered a state of selflessness.

Bored, she flew to the pot of soil and stared at the sprout that had grown side shoots in such a short time. She then created a soundproof barrier and asked, "Sprout, what kind of spiritual plant are you, or perhaps a celestial being?"

The little fox king didn't expect a tender seedling to reply to her, but to his surprise, the sprout curved its tip as if nodding.

She couldn't help but move closer, reaching out her front paws to touch it, but when her fingertips were an inch away from the bud, she was repelled by a burst of spiritual energy.

The little fox king's fur stood on end instantly, and it grabbed the thunderbolt given to it by Situ Shiyuan and looked around.

Finally, she focused her gaze on the spot where the black coffin had disappeared under the basin, preparing to blast him in the face when he made his move.

But the other party made no further move, while she remained in the posture of throwing grenades for several hours.

"Phew, finally drew one correctly." Shen Suiren stretched her shoulders, then suddenly realized that the little fox king was missing. She turned her head and saw her staring blankly at the earthen basin.

Seeing the thunderbolt she was holding, he quickly sent her a telepathic message to put it away, saying, "I'll take you to your space cabin to rest."

The little fox king pleaded, "Rub it."

"It's very safe here. I'm a member of the Shen family." Shen Suiren treated her like a princess, massaging and pressing her as he led her into the spatial room.

"You can play by yourself. I want to go through all these formations as much as possible while I'm in good spirits."

"You can continue learning in three days." The little fox king didn't understand why she insisted on finishing the course in these two days.

Shen Suiren said, "I shouldn't stay here too long. Nobody knows if Elder Chu will come to kill me."

She was right. Elder Chu had learned that Zhicheng had successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator and had quietly arrived at the Taiyi Sect's market.

He wanted to take advantage of Zhicheng's recent advancement to kill or severely injure him, so that the Yuanhou cultivators of the Taiyuan Realm would not be able to focus on their Nascent Soul breakthroughs.

Alas, he had no choice. He couldn't just do nothing and risk being blamed and punished in the future, so he had no choice but to ask his fellow Daoists to go and die with him.

But as he looked around the market, he heard many cultivators discussing that the Sincere Star Lord needed to stabilize his cultivation for three months.

They wanted to create some excitement so that Zhicheng would have no choice but to step in and help.

Elder Chu spent three days searching and finally settled on Spring Return Mountain.

When word spread that the Shen family was going to open their ancestral hall to kill Shen Zai, they moved to Chun Gui Mountain.

At that moment, Shen Suiren stood beside his father and saw Shen Baiyu supporting Lu Jiuniang, who was unsteady on her feet.

Beside them stood Shen Zhao, his face bruised and swollen, too ashamed to look up.

"Father, you even hit Lu Jiuniang?" Shen Suiren could tell at a glance that the other party was injured on the leg.

"Yes, remember this: revenge knows no gender or age." For the past three days, Shen Dingru has been beating the couple nine times.

He wanted to show the Shen family that no one could bully his daughter; even as an ordinary person, she would still get punched.

As the father and daughter communicated telepathically, they also watched as Shen Zai was gagged and knelt far away outside the main hall where the ancestral tablets were enshrined.

A young man knelt down before Old Ancestor Shen, pleading, "Ancestor, please grant my father a complete corpse!"

With a thud, Shen Tinglu stepped out of the crowd and knelt down, without saying a word. Her father was also dead, his body torn to pieces.

With a series of thuds, several members of the Shen clan knelt down. Their parents had accompanied Shen Wan on that day and had perished together with him.

The silence was deafening; Shen Zai's son, Shen Long, dared not look directly at them. Shen Duzhou scanned the surrounding clansmen: "Today's execution is a warning to future generations."

Shen Zai plotted to murder his cousin, resulting in the deaths and injuries of dozens of his clan members.

In order to achieve the Core Formation as quickly as possible and for his own selfish gain, he misappropriated a large amount of family revenue, resulting in a shortage of cultivation resources for the Shen family's disciples.

"You dared to steal from the sect's mines, forcing my Shen family to pay half of our assets to the sect. Tell me, what punishment should we receive?"

He didn't mention the beginning of the year, firstly because he had already punished Shen Zai by shattering his dantian, and secondly because he didn't want people to think that he killed Shen Zai because of her.

Sure enough, the moment clan property was involved, the clansmen immediately united in their hatred of Kai:

"Slicing punishment".

"To be cut into a thousand pieces."

"Shen Zai is stingy with spirit stones and pills, while you, Shen Long, spend a lot of spirit stones and have plenty of pills to offer."

We, however, have to venture into the mountains to hunt demons and earn spirit stones; this year alone, fifteen of us have perished.

"Shen Long must also be punished; the son must pay for the father's debts."

“My son, if you are watching from heaven, see that the culprit who harmed you has been brought to justice today.”

"Execution!"

"Execution!"

"Execution!"

Shen Zai's son was now so overwhelmed by the clamor of nearly a thousand clansmen that he couldn't even lift his head.

He glanced sideways at Shen Suiren's face, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred, but the latter remained calm, saying, "If you truly care about your father, you can take the punishment in his place!"

He froze, his gaze shifting to his mother, who was bowing her head and remaining motionless.

At that moment, Shen Duzhou removed Shen Zai's silencing and upper garment, and a magic knife flew up onto his body.

Shen Zai screamed less than three times before fainting from the execution.

Shen Suiren watched as Old Ancestor Shen continuously fed Shen Zai pills to keep him conscious while he was tortured, suffering a total of 360 cuts.

However, this punishment did not last for an hour or two like in the mortal world. Instead, it was completed in just a quarter of an hour, with a final stab into Shen Zai's heart to end his screams.

Someone quickly cleaned the courtyard and execution site. A fireball burned away Shen Zai's soul and flesh, and the ground was clean again in the blink of an eye.

Shen Duzhou struck with lightning speed, shattering the dantian of Shen Long and his mother. Amidst their terrified gazes, he said, "Exiling you to work in the spirit field is my way of fulfilling the promise your father made to tell the truth."

"Ancestor..." The mother and son did not want to go to the spirit field. It would be better for them to take their possessions and become independent cultivators than to be imprisoned in the spirit field.

But how could Shen Duzhou possibly give them a chance, nor would he allow Shen Long to marry and have children in the future? "Take him away."

Shen Long groaned as he was pulled up, when he heard a loud bang as the defenses above the Shen family ancestral hall were attacked.

Just as the clansmen quickly formed a battle formation, a figure appeared.

"I will take Shen Suichu away. If you hand her over voluntarily, the Shen family will be spared."

Otherwise, the extermination of the clan is imminent. Chu Mo did not unleash a second punch because he discovered that the Shen family's formation was exceptionally sturdy, and he could not break it in less than half an hour.

"Haha, karma comes fast."

"At the beginning of the year, you too shall die!" Shen Long's laughter was interrupted by Shen Dingru's kick.

The Shen family members who recognized the person were slightly panicked, but no one said anything.

Because suddenly, Chongming King and Little Fox King appeared by Shen Suiren's side.

She herself released a distress firework that exploded, and Shen Baiyu did the same.

Shen Duzhou also made a statement at the same time, without using any honorifics: "My Shen family will never abandon any of our members. Fellow Daoist Chu, please come at me."

Let's see if you can break through the formation faster, or if reinforcements arrive faster. Activate the formation!

"Since you're so tough, I'll start with you..." Before the word "knife" could be uttered, Elder Chu noticed that the Shen family's grand formation had suddenly changed.

Shen Suiren scanned the area with his divine sense and saw that someone was controlling the array over at the library.

But that shouldn't be!

The moment she frowned, Zhu Kuang Zhenjun's voice reached her ears: "I activated the formation."

"And me too." The Little Dragon King was also there.

"This is a trap?!" Shen Suiren immediately realized something, but she didn't wait for her grandmaster's response. Instead, she heard Elder Chu's voice doing the splits.

"Nine-Bend Immortal Falling Formation?!" Elder Chu was extremely surprised. This formation was created by the ancient Formation Sect and could be used as a sword formation, a music formation, or a ghost formation.

The Fallen Immortal Formation, located in the Spirit Realm, is a deadly formation that has caused the deaths of countless people who attempt to break through it.

Let alone the fact that he, a cultivator at the Void Refining Realm, was suppressed to the Divine Transformation Realm in the Taiyuan Realm, even a cultivator at the Mahayana Realm would need more than ten people and more than ten days to break this formation.

However, it is said that since the major sects moved away, there are almost no sects in the Taiyuan Realm that can set up the layout exactly as described.

Moreover, times have changed, and the materials used for the formation are different now.

With this thought in mind, he flashed above the library to bombard the array's core: "This array requires at least a Nascent Soul cultivator to control. Your Shen family is just a bunch of Foundation Establishment cultivators; how much of that do you have..."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, how have you been?" True Lord Zhicheng, or rather, Star Lord Zhicheng, stepped out of the library.

Elder Chu was taken aback: "You, you don't need to stabilize your cultivation level for the Great Advancement?"

"So that fellow Daoist may know, a cultivator who has undergone the tribulation of lightning in the Taiyuan Realm for sixty-nine years has an extremely stable aura." The Sincere Star Lord smiled with utmost sincerity.

I can tell from your boasting that you must have taken some kind of magical substance. You're probably just looking at anyone who hasn't gone through the fifty-four tribulations of lightning.

Elder Chu chuckled twice: "If I can't get in, I don't believe that if I kill all the cultivators of Chun Gui Mountain, you won't come out."

As he spoke, he turned around and threw a thunderbolt at the buildings in the nearby market. There were many people on the street, but they were all hiding inside.

Unexpectedly, the space shook, and the lightning entered the spatial rift and exploded.

He asked urgently, "Who is it?"

"I, fellow Daoist, am clearly a Daoist cultivator, how come I am even more bloodthirsty than this old man, a demonic cultivator?"

Shen Suiren looked up and exclaimed, "Is that True Lord Shuiheng?"

Chongming corrected her: "No, he is currently in the Nascent Soul stage."

"When did you advance to the Nascent Soul stage?" Elder Chu scanned his surroundings, wondering if there were others.
Shuiheng Xingjun said smugly, "I'm with Fellow Daoist Zhicheng, right here in the Taiyi Sect."

"So, all that talk about helping disciples form their Core and Nascent Soul is fake?" Elder Chu had barely finished speaking when he felt a figure rushing towards him.

He and the Shen family were all astonished: "The beginning of the year?!"

Shen Suiren, without pausing, punched him in the dantian.

Elder Chu found it amusing and gently raised his hand to strike her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Suiren suddenly turned around and flashed behind him, delivering a heavy punch to his Dushu acupoint on the back of his head.

Immediately following was a bloodcurdling scream that echoed throughout Chungui Mountain.

Whether it was Zhu Kuang, Zhi Cheng, or even the Nascent Soul that had been hiding elsewhere, they all revealed themselves.

Elder Chu was actually knocked to the ground by Sui Chu, that's ridiculous!
