Calculated by the Entire Sect? Don't Cry When Your Whole Family is Slaughtered! - Chapter 5

“Audacious! Absolutely audacious!”

After a brief silence, Qing Shan was the first to slam the table and stand up, pointing at Shen Lian and reprimanding him sharply.

“Shen Lian, is this the attitude you should have towards the elders?! Do you even know who you are?!”

Shen Lian didn’t speak; he merely half-closed his eyes, then turned his head slightly to glance backward.

That glance was full of provocation, as if a superior was looking at a barking ant with pity and mockery.

This made Qing Shan and the others even more furious, solidifying their resolve to eliminate him.

Just as the tension was rising, Ye Fan spoke.

“Senior Brother Shen, I know you’ve always had a prejudice against me. If you have any issues, you can come directly to me.

But no matter what, the elders are our seniors. Respecting our elders is also a sect rule and courtesy.

If you continue like this, it will only further tarnish your reputation.

So, I implore you, please apologize to the elders. After all, we are fellow disciples.”

Upon hearing this, the elders present and all the inner disciples nodded in agreement.

Look at him, as expected of a Son of Destiny, a prodigy fully nurtured by the sect.

He was so polite, gentle as jade, making everyone feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

After saying this, Ye Fan sneered inwardly: Shen Lian, just go mad. Anyway, this is your last burst of madness. The Sect Master isn’t here today, no one can save you. You are destined…

Boom—

However, before his thoughts could finish, he suddenly felt a powerful palm force, carrying a fierce wind, rushing directly towards his vital point.

Without time to think, Ye Fan hurriedly gathered his Qi and struck back.

“Puff—”

A resounding explosion echoed, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His entire body was sent flying by the vast energy wave, slamming heavily against the stone wall.

“Fan’er!”

“Junior Brother Ye!”

Everyone present gasped in unison at this scene.

Before they could react, they heard Shen Lian’s arrogant voice slowly resonating in their ears.

“Since when did I, Shen Lian, fall to the point where I need a waste like you to lecture me? Did I allow you to speak?”

Qing Lan finally realized that the one who had attacked was none other than Shen Lian, who was standing in the center of the Enforcement Hall, supposedly ready to be judged.

“His cultivation has recovered, but two days ago he was just a cripple. How is that possible…”

He was greatly shocked, because Shen Lian’s attack just now was without warning.

Moreover, the speed of that palm strike was so fast that there was no time to react.

To injure Ye Fan with a single blow, he must also be at the Divine Transformation realm!

“Puff—”

Ye Fan clutched his chest and spat out another mouthful of blood. He finally stood up from the wall with difficulty, stumbling two steps.

Thump—

The next moment, he knelt on one knee, cold sweat instantly soaking his entire body through his pores.

“Such powerful palm force, what kind of cultivation technique is this? Why have I never seen it before?”

“Didn’t Senior Sister tell me that all of Shen Lian’s cultivation techniques had already been taught to me?

But why have I never seen him use this palm technique…”

Just then, a sound of cracking stone echoed.

The wall where Ye Fan had leaned against suddenly showed spiderweb cracks, constantly spreading outwards.

Clatter—

The next second, the entire stone wall completely collapsed.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. Their gazes towards Shen Lian couldn’t help but show a hint of dread.

Only Shen Lian frowned, extremely dissatisfied with the power of this palm strike.

If he were at his peak in his previous life, this “Raging Wind” technique, even at one-hundredth of its power, would have instantly reduced a thousand Ye Fans to ashes.

Unfortunately, his cultivation was still insufficient. Otherwise, just six-tenths of his full power in that palm strike would have been enough to make Ye Fan, a Divine Transformation Eighth Layer expert, explode on the spot.

Having experienced what it felt like to stand at the pinnacle of martial arts, Shen Lian had absolutely no regard for his current mere Divine Transformation Eighth Layer.

“Fan’er, are you alright? Please, don’t be hurt!”

Qing Shuang was the first to rush forward and support Ye Fan, her face filled with concern.

Unfortunately, Ye Fan at this moment suffered a heavy blow from Shen Lian. His meridians were blocked, and his internal organs were severely damaged. He was in too much pain to utter a single word.

Seeing this, Qing Shuang, enraged, immediately stood up and roared at Shen Lian, “Little beast! You dare to strike Fan’er with murderous intent! I will make you pay with your life!”

“That’s right!”

Shen Lian’s cold voice carried a hint of madness.

“A truly vile face is better than a false show of emotion. Since you’ve already decided to kill me,

why bother with such pretense? There’s just one question I’d like to know…”

His voice paused, Shen Lian’s cold gaze swept across the entire Enforcement Hall, his finger pointing.

The disciples were instantly intimidated by his terrifying aura, not daring to look directly at him, and all retreated half a step.

“Which one of you, can kill me, Shen Lian?!”

The arrogant tone, the mad expression, the gaze that looked down on everything.

All of it stimulated the nerves of everyone present.

Qing Shuang gritted her teeth in anger, slowly drawing her long sword and pointing it at Shen Lian.

“Shen Lian, do you think I don’t dare to kill you? No one can save you today!”

“Calm down!”

Qing Lan quickly spoke to stop Qing Shuang.

Because he realized that Shen Lian’s state today was completely different from usual; his arrogance and madness were simply suffocating.

Before he could ascertain Shen Lian’s true cultivation, he didn’t want to act rashly.

“Shen Lian, you have committed a grave mistake today. You harmed a fellow disciple, disrupted the order of the Enforcement Hall. Even if the Sect Master were here, you would not escape your punishment.

If you still care about fellow disciple sentiment, then give up resisting. Think of your seven senior sisters; if they saw you like this, they would surely be heartbroken.”

“Hahahaha—”

Laughter echoed wildly within the Enforcement Hall, causing everyone’s eardrums to ache.

“Fellow disciple sentiment? A hypocritical and pretentious explanation. Do you think saying that will make me feel a shred of guilt?”

“Unfortunately, this so-called ‘fellow disciple sentiment’ has long been completely erased by your repeated wear and tear.”

“Now, standing before me are not laughable fellow disciples, but irreconcilable enemies.”

“Let the world see what confidence the Enforcement Hall has, to condemn me, Shen Lian!”

Qing Lan’s expression froze.

Has he really gone mad? Even bringing up his most cared-for seven senior sisters is useless?

“Little beast, you’re asking for death!”

Qing Shuang’s patience ran out. She couldn’t stand Shen Lian’s arrogant demeanor any longer and immediately drew her sword, leaping towards him with killing intent.

“You should have died long ago! If that Shen Chuyun hadn’t protected you all these years, you would have vanished into thin air a hundred years ago!

Today, I’ll use your blood to comfort Fan’er for the grievances he’s suffered because of you all these years. Go to hell!”

As she struck, it was a series of fatal blows aimed directly at his vitals, without any mercy whatsoever.

“Heavenly Feather Thirteen Forms? Good move!”

Shen Lian showed no fear. Seeing his opponent’s attack, a strong battle intent instead emerged in his eyes.

He raised one hand, turning his palm into a claw.

The moment Qing Shuang closed in, he immediately dodged the killing blow by shifting his body, and at the same time, a claw struck out like lightning, embedding itself in her arm.

“Ah—”

A scream erupted from Qing Shuang’s mouth.

In an instant, her face became extremely contorted and grotesque, as terrifying as a demon.

“This is your confidence to kill me? You waste, where do you get the courage to stand so high and judge me?! Who allowed you to do this?!”

Shen Lian flicked his cold gaze, and with a swift movement, pulled away.

“Crack—”

“Ah—”

A sound of bone fracturing echoed, and Qing Shuang’s entire sword-wielding arm was completely crippled.

Qing Shuang then let out a heart-wrenching wail, as if regretting being born.

“Stop, Shen Lian! I command you, stop immediately! Do you hear me! This is your Senior Aunt! Your Senior Aunt!”

Qing Lan was greatly alarmed and quickly spoke to stop him.

“Stop? If it were you, would you show mercy to an enemy? Since the conflict has already begun,

why waste words? If they are my enemies, they must be annihilated!”

As Shen Lian gathered his strength and pulled hard, Qing Shuang’s entire sword-wielding arm was directly ripped off.

“No, my hand, my hand!”

Looking at the arm still twitching, Qing Shuang couldn’t accept such a result and shrieked, pouncing towards Shen Lian.

But in an instant, Qing Shuang’s own sword, which should have belonged to her, fell into Shen Lian’s hand.

It was now resting coldly against her own neck.

“Shen Lian, don’t act recklessly!”

“Shen Lian, quickly release your Senior Aunt! No matter what, she’s still your elder!”

The other elders spoke in terror, trying to stop Shen Lian from harming Qing Shuang.

“Haven’t you always wished for me to become a deranged demon, so you could rightfully eradicate me? Now, as you wish!”

With that, Shen Lian didn’t hesitate. The long sword directly slashed across Qing Shuang’s neck.

A jet of blood spurted out, making hissing sounds.

Qing Shuang collapsed in the center of the Enforcement Hall, covering her neck with an expression of disbelief.

“No, Qing Shuang!”

Qing Lan, Qing Shan, and Qing Yun screamed in disbelief at this scene.

“Now, you can act without restraint and kill me, this demon who harmed the sect.”

“As long as you have the ability to kill me, take this life!”

“Come on, let me have my fill, let me have a good time. Don’t back down. You can all come at me together.”

A mad expression, a wild face.

And eyes filled with boiling killing intent.

Everyone couldn’t understand why Shen Lian, who was gentle and weak, easily bullied yesterday, had suddenly become so terrifying in the blink of an eye.
