Chapter 336 The Great Venerable and the Luo Clan

The moment the sound rang out

Beside the towering cloud pillar, a burly figure whose face was obscured stood silently.

It appears as if it were wind or clouds, a scene of heaven and earth, or as if it had trampled heaven and earth under its feet, somewhat detached from worldly affairs.

Although no one could see his face, they all knew that this was the Zhenhai Grand Venerable who dominated the Fubo Domain!
Upon seeing this, the deities surrounding the cloud pillar immediately bowed their heads, concealed their divine bodies, and descended to the edge of the sky, kneeling in the void.

The tycoons present were startled and bowed deeply in unison, shouting:

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"No gift!"

The powerful voice rose again, and everyone put away their formalities, but still stood with their hands at their sides, appearing very respectful. Even top Nascent Soul cultivators like Deng Jiuyou did so. At this moment, the other party seemed more like a little girl.

The Great Venerable Zhenhai surveyed the scene, his gaze sweeping over Yuan Xuan, Luo Xuan, and Chong Yuan.

Tommy and the people of Tangjia Village were instantly teleported out of Yuanxuan's Dharma Realm.

Luo Xuan's body staggered backward, frozen in mid-air.

The statue of the Goddess of Childbirth in front of Chongyuan and the Lotus Heart Realm Treasure of the Luo Clan suddenly disappeared from their original positions and reappeared in front of the Great Venerable.

The Great Venerable did not check immediately, but instead glanced at Chongyuan's chest.

Feeling the Great Venerable's gaze, Chongyuan's face shone with pride, and he subconsciously puffed out his chest even higher. He had been startled when he almost got killed for challenging Luo Xuan.

But upon seeing the Great Venerable One, the lingering fear vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of wanting the storm to rage even more fiercely.

Seeing this, Jin Chuan cursed under his breath, thinking that he had to teach Chong Yuan a lesson for what he had done!
Just then, Luo Xuan, whose thoughts had been frozen and suppressed in the void, finally came back to his senses.

Suddenly he bowed high and shouted:
"Your Excellency, please understand that I was unaware of this matter beforehand. I beg Your Excellency to make an assessment."

The Great Venerable Zhenhai turned his gaze to Luo Xuan, but the Goddess of Childbirth in front of him suddenly let out a painful cry, and a lotus petal flew out from the Yin Spirit and drifted towards Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan's primordial spirit trembled, and a lotus seedpod flew out of his body uncontrollably, gently resonating with the falling petals.

The three from Jinchuan sighed softly, their expressions somewhat complicated.

Although the Great Venerable did not say it explicitly at this moment, how could he say that he did not know anything about the petals of the Luo Xuan Green Lotus Treasure Plant inside the body of the Evil Goddess of Childbirth?

The Azure Lotus Treasure Plant—a unique treasure of the Luo clan.

The Venerable One once said that from the moment a member of the Luo clan begins their cultivation, a precious lotus will be nurtured within their body.

The elixir forms a seed, the flower blossoms into an infant, the fruit transforms into a spirit, the seed is refined into a realm, and when combined into heaven and earth, the Great Venerable Realm is achieved!
Aside from the Four Seas Realm, the treasures of many patrolling sea envoys were all refined by the Great Venerable using lotus seeds, which is why the Western Sea Vein stands out from the other three veins under the Great Venerable's tutelage.

Ultimately, the glory of the other three clans is nothing more than taking advantage of the Luo clan.

With this mindset, it is difficult for the West Sea Vein to integrate with the other three veins.

Furthermore, the Western Sea Vein's subsequent absence during the inspection and clearing of the outer sea routes led to dissatisfaction among the other three veins, resulting in a formal rift between the two sides.

Despite the division, Sang You, Yuan Xuan, and even Jin Chuan did not actually want to kill Luo Xuan.

After all, the Great Venerable's wife's surname is Luo!
Luo Xuan is absolutely loyal to the young lady!
However, the Great Venerable clearly had no intention of forgiving Luo Xuan.

A figure flashed in the void, and the five people from the Western Sea Vein stationed in the new city who were kneeling in the Lotus Heart Treasure Realm were teleported out.

Three Nascent Soul cultivators and two Golden Core cultivators knelt beside Luo Xuan. At the same time, a petal flew out from each of the five of them, heading towards the lotus pod to form a six-petaled lotus with the previous petal.

The lotus seedpod quietly shrank and fell into the center of the precious lotus!
The Great Venerable looked down at Luo Xuan and said softly:
Luo Xuan is willing to accept defeat!

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan's expression became dejected. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he knelt in the void and replied excitedly:

"Your Excellency, others may not know, but you should know that Luo Xuan did not act for his own selfish reasons. We beg Your Excellency to show mercy for the sake of Lotus Venerable."

The Great Venerable looked at Luo Xuan, his expression unchanged.

"Now that you've entered this game, you should know that rules are rules. There's only one condition for changing the rules: surpass me and establish your own rules. The Lotus Venerable Luo Clan can't protect you, just like they couldn't protect that group of people back then. The World Treasure Lotus Seed of the Sea Patrol Envoy wasn't given to you by the Luo family."

As soon as the Great Venerable finished speaking, Luo Xuan's face turned deathly pale.

He suddenly recalled his childhood memories from over a thousand years ago, when the Luo clan had just entered the Fubo Domain from the Qinglian Realm a little over a hundred years ago, but their numbers were far greater than they are now.

However, a major upheaval occurred in the middle, resulting in the deaths of many people.

Luo Xuan had a sudden awakening after that incident, and began to cultivate diligently, eventually reaching his current level.

He had initially thought that the incident was caused by the Lotus Venerable, who was not yet a Venerable at the time, out of consideration for the friendship between her and the Great Venerable. Now it seems that the Great Venerable acted against the Lotus Venerable's friendship and the reputation of the Luo family.

Luo Xuan panicked, all hope vanished, and he hurriedly knelt down, begging for mercy:

“Great Venerable One, I am different from them who harvest flesh and blood to nourish the blue lotus. I am not doing this for myself, but for…”

Before he could finish speaking, the world darkened, and a phantom seal fell from the sky, instantly shattering Luo Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, into fragments.

At the same time, the Great Venerable Zhenhai raised his right hand slightly towards the direction of the Western Sea Realm and clenched it in mid-air. The heavens and earth instantly reversed, and Luo Xuan's primordial spirit avatar in the Western Sea Realm was directly captured and landed in the Great Venerable's palm. A flash of blood appeared in his palm, and he clenched his fist tightly.

With a "bang," Luo Xuan's last remaining primordial spirit clone shattered.

With a flick of his sleeve, the shattered essence of his primordial spirit fell into the suspended six-petaled lotus. The petals grew to twelve, and the stems and leaves emerged, transforming into a blooming blue lotus.

The other five cultivators stationed at the Western Sea Vein, who were kneeling on the ground, were simultaneously crushed into minced meat by the great seal and fell into the blue lotus. For a moment, the fragrance of blue lotus seemed to permeate the world below.

Decisive and ruthless in action!
"hiss"

The powerful leader of the Fubo region was killed?!

As Luo Xuan's primordial spirit shattered, the many powerful figures watching involuntarily shivered. At this moment, the concept of "abiding by the rules" was deeply ingrained in their minds.

The Great Ruler governs by non-interference, but never break the rules!

This is using the life of a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator to warn all those who want to take risks.

Just then, the Great Venerable's majestic and powerful voice rang out again:

"Jin Chuan, thoroughly investigate this matter within three days. Whether it is the Western Sea Vein or any other force, all those involved in this bloodshed, no matter who they are, shall be executed!"
The perpetrator's body was hung at the edge of the world as a warning to others!

Jin Chuan's expression turned solemn. He composed himself, his emotions in turmoil, and quickly bowed to accept the order:

"As the Great Lord commands!"

The Great Venerable nodded slightly, and the blue lotus in the void suddenly flew into Sang You's hand.

"The Luo family has committed atrocities, and they should repay them. Plant this Azure Lotus Treasure Plant in the Lianyuan Mountains, stretching across the Five New Cities, to enhance the potential of future generations to become immortals. Every ten years, select three people to enter the Western Sea lineage!"

"Yuan Xuan, compile a record of today's events and announce it to Fubo Domain through the voice of the gods."

Sang You and Yuan Xuan were shocked upon hearing this, and bowed to accept the order.

After making these arrangements, the Great Venerable Zhenhai, with his hands behind his back, looked at the various powerful figures surrounding the edge of the sky and spoke calmly:
"The path you choose is your own. If you want both, first consider whether you have the ability to break the mold. When the axe and sword are at your door, don't be unprepared! Do you all understand?"

The group of Nascent Soul cultivators, led by Deng Jiuyou, all felt a chill run down their spines and immediately bowed to express their stance:
"We obey the Great One's decree and will certainly restrain our disciples, ensuring they do not overstep the bounds!"

Without replying, Zhenhai Dazun pointed a finger at the unconscious Tommy and the villagers of Tangjia Village.

The Azure Lotus Treasure Plant held in Sang You's hand emitted more than a dozen streams of essence, which crushed the monstrous infant inside the pregnant woman's body and merged into her body, nourishing both husband and wife from their depletion.

Golden light suddenly burst forth from Tommy's brow, and a small portion of the dozen or so essences entered her body, causing her immortal aptitude to visibly improve.

Even the Nascent Soul True Monarch who was bowing to the side couldn't help but feel a little envious.

This is the essence of the primordial spirit of a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator!

Although it is only a tiny bit, it is still an invaluable treasure for a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

However, no one dared to make a move against the other, including the Azure Lotus Treasure Plant that was about to be planted in the Lianyuan Mountains!

After doing all this, Zhenhai Dazun waved his sleeve and moved the people in front of Sang You, clearly indicating that he wanted Sang You to take the people back to the Lianyuan Mountains and settle them properly.

Before Sang You could receive the order, the Great Venerable Zhenhai looked down at the crowd and spoke:

"Disperse, everyone!"

"promise!"

Jin Chuan and the other two left first, determined to put the Great Venerable's instructions into practice!
Deng Jiuyou and the others followed closely behind. Today's events had terrified them. They were not only terrified of the Great Venerable's decisiveness in killing, but also somewhat afraid of Jin Chuan, who could manipulate the wind and clouds to kill with a single blow.

However, most people still believe that Jin Chuan's move may have been at the behest of the Great Venerable. For so many years, the Western Sea Vein has remained aloof from the Fubo Domain, which may have already displeased the Great Venerable.

We must restrain those under our tutelage and redraw the red lines!
Give the order as soon as you get back, otherwise the Western Sea Vein will suffer a bloody lesson once the Great Venerable takes action!
Finally, the gods who had been kneeling beside the Heavenly Cloud Pillar departed. They returned to the Edge of Heaven to await Yuan Xuan's instructions before informing the Fubo Domain of today's events.

At this point, only Tommy, who had just woken up and looked bewildered, and Chongyuan, who was about to disperse but was stopped by the Great Venerable, remained at the edge of the world. However, unlike Tommy, Chongyuan was secretly delighted.

He felt that the Great Venerable must have kept him to reward him, after all, he had reported the Western Sea Vein without fear of power.

This made him unconsciously straighten his back!

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Chongyuan heard the Great Venerable call his name. The Great Venerable suddenly asked:

"Chongyuan, how did you obtain these two pieces of evidence?"

Chongyuan's smile froze, and his expression stiffened.

He promised Jin Chuan that he would never reveal it to outsiders, but is the Great Venerable an outsider?
Chongyuan was somewhat conflicted!

But the Great Venerable who asked Chongyuan a question didn't seem to wait for Chongyuan's reply.

After a brief pause, he continued speaking to himself:
"It seems you were rushed and didn't finish making everything up? It's been a while since we last met, and your deception skills have deteriorated quite a bit, Li Wushou!"
