Chapter 1061: Punishment
However, if he was let off just like that, that’d just be too easy for him.
“If what you said is true, it is indeed a meritorious service to the sect. Since Elder Su has spoken, it is not impossible to spare his life. However, I’m afraid you know better than anyone else how many bad things he has done over the years. If we let him off just like that, how will you face the innocent women who were destroyed by his hands? How will you face the people who were poisoned by his medical skills? How will you face the ancestors of the sect? Have you ever thought about what would have happened to me if I wasn’t the Golden Pill Sect’s leader? If I didn’t have the strength, what would have happened to me today?” said Ling Cuxi sternly.
Zhang Shizhao was drenched in cold sweat, but he had nothing to say.
Ling Chuxi didn’t say any more either. Instead, she moved towards Zhang Yuhong.
Zhang Shizhao was shocked. He subconsciously wanted to protect his son, but before he could make a move, Ling Chuxi had already arrived in front of Zhang Yuhong. Her fingers touched Zhang Yuhong’s meridians like lightning, and the air around her fingertips flowed before flashing with a dazzling light. It was quite a magnificent sight.
What fast movements, and what an exquisite finger technique. It was quite an ingenious use of True Qi.
For a moment, Zhang Shizhao was stunned. Although Ling Chuxi had only displayed the strength of the realm of True Essence Peak Stage, Zhang Shizhao could feel that her artistic conception of Martial Path was definitely not as simple as that. Her actual combat strength had definitely surpassed the realm of True Essence
Although he himself was also in the realm of True Essence, he probably would not be able to take a single strike if he were to fight her.
Zhang Shizhao had to admit that his eyesight was really good. With Ling Chuxi’s Core of Martial Path, Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique, and Cang Yuan Sword Play, her actual combat strength had indeed exceeded the realm of True Essence.
The Ling siblings were actually such terrifying people! It was no wonder that Su Yizhi had made her the sect leader. Only such strength was enough to convince the masses.
In fact, although Zhang Shizhao was extremely happy with the rebuilding of Golden Pill Sect, he had still been hesitant to return to the sect. After all, the Zhang family had established a large family business in Qianzhong Ridge and had thus built quite a reputation there. As the saying went, it was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. How could he be willing to return to the sect and be controlled by others?
But now, his mentality had undergone a subtle change. Golden Pill Sect had such a sect leader with such strong members, especially that blade-wielding god. They would definitely make people involuntarily feel fear. Sooner or later, Golden Pill Sect would be able to squeeze into the ranks of the big sects. It was not surprising if they would be able to return to join the ranks of the five big sects. If the Zhang family returned to the sect, their status would definitely be comparable to the current chaotic place, Qianzhong Ridge, even higher.
It was not until Ling Chuxi withdrew her hand and resumed her natural stance that Zhang Shizhao recovered from his shock. He was secretly scared. Fortunately, he did not have the time to stop her. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to save Zhang Yuhong, but if he angered her, he would also be in trouble.
Zhang Yuhong was also stunned. Just now, when Ling Chuxi’s fingers flew over his meridians, she had also used the Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique. As a result, Zhang Yuhong’s mind was in a mess and he could not resist at all.
At this moment, he looked down in fear, but he didn’t find anything strange. He became slightly perplexed.
“Thank you for letting my son live.” Zhang Shizhao’s reaction was much faster than his son’s. He was able to tell that Ling Chuxi’s finger technique didn’t mean to kill him.
