11: I feel sorry for my junior brother

Above the Heavenly Feather Sect, a beautiful figure slowly descended from the Void Realm.

"It's been a while since I've seen Junior Brother Ye. If he sees me appear suddenly, he'll surely be very happy, right?"

The woman was named Su Yuheng, a cultivator at the Primordial Chaos Realm ninth level, and the President of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce.

This time, she had just completed a transaction with the Yaochi Holy Land with a bountiful harvest, and her mood was exceptionally joyful.

This time, she had specially brought some top-grade Medicinal Pills to help improve cultivation, and stopped by to visit her Junior Brother, Ye Fan.

However, when she entered the vast square of the Heavenly Feather Sect, she immediately sensed an unusual aura.

She saw that outside the Sect Main Hall, all the Disciples were wearing plain white mourning clothes, all kneeling together outside the hall gates.

"What is going on? Could it be that the plan succeeded and Shen Lian is dead?"

At the mere thought of Shen Lian, Su Yuheng felt only resentment in her heart.

He targeted Ye Fan time and time again, and no matter how she tried to persuade him, he remained set in his ways.

More importantly, after bullying someone, he actually refused to admit it and insisted on finding so many excuses for himself; it was truly shamefully disgusting.

Now that he was dead, it was for the best; at least there would be no one to hinder Junior Brother Ye in the future.

"He's just a piece of trash. Since he's dead, he's dead. Why make such a big scene? It's truly annoying that even in death, he won't let people have peace."

Su Yuheng stepped toward the Sect Main Hall, wanting to take one last look at Shen Lian's spirit tablet.

"Third Senior Sister! You've finally returned!"

Just as she stepped into the hall, a Disciple ran up to Su Yuheng, crying loudly.

"What are you crying about? What is there to cry about?"

Su Yuheng glanced at the main hall, somewhat confused as to why so many people were mourning for Shen Lian after his death.

Clearly, after all the hard work by her and her seven sisters, the entire Sect should have hated Shen Lian to the core and wished for him to die immediately.

But why...

"Third Senior Sister! Peak Master Yuwen, Peak Master Dongfang, as well as four Elders and over eight hundred Inner Sect Disciples were all killed by Shen Lian. He... he has completely gone mad!"

"What nonsense are you spouting! How could trash like Shen Lian..."

Su Yuheng did not believe this magical claim at all. Just as she was about to question him, she caught sight of the main spirit altar, where six spirit tablets were placed—those of the four Sect Elders and two Peak Masters.

Her pupils constricted, and her face was full of disbelief: "Impossible. How could Shen Lian commit such an act? Such an act of betraying one's master and destroying one's ancestors—he couldn't possibly do it! Speak, what exactly is going on!"

Instantly, the Aura Pressure of the Hunyuan Realm third level descended from the Void Realm, causing everyone's internal Qi to become chaotic, and the intense feeling of suffocation pushed them to the brink of collapse.

"It is... true... Third Senior Sister, everyone... saw it with their own eyes... Shen Lian... has gone mad..."

"Mad? How could he be mad!"

Upon hearing this, a twisted and terrifying expression appeared on Su Yuheng's exquisite face.

"Even if he is mad, if we want him to die, he must obediently accept death! Why would he resist! Who gave him permission to do so!"

This was the reality Su Yuheng could least accept. Shen Lian actually dared to resist? Did this not mean that her PUA of him over the years had completely failed?

"Where is Shen Lian? Tell him to get out here and see me!"

"Third... Senior Sister... Shen Lian... left the Sect yesterday... He also... injured... Junior... Junior Brother Ye..."

"What, Junior Brother Ye!"

Upon hearing that Ye Fan was injured, Su Yuheng immediately withdrew her Aura Pressure and grabbed the Disciple by the shoulder.

"How badly is he injured? Take me to see him right now!"

Worried about Ye Fan's injuries, Su Yuheng immediately dragged the Disciple toward his room.

"Senior Sister (Woof woof), I'm here (woof woof woof)! Save me (woof woof woof)!"

The black dog, injected with Ye Fan's Divine Soul, saw this scene and couldn't help but bark wildly. However, every time it opened its mouth, only dog barks that no one could understand came out.

Watching Su Yuheng stride away, Ye Fan immediately spread his limbs to chase after her. But in the next moment, a Disciple raised his leg and kicked the black dog in the abdomen.

"Awooo—" Ye Fan immediately let out a miserable howl and flew out in pain.

"You stinking dog, if you run around again, I'll stew you!" Seeing the black dog fly away, the Disciple coldly patted his thigh and left without even looking back.

"Woof woof woof (It hurts, you dare hit me?) Woof woof woof (I've noted this debt, when I recover my human form, I will definitely finish you off)."

Ye Fan curled up in the corner, his dog eyes watching the Disciple who kicked him walk away, and his dog lungs were nearly bursting with anger.

...

Inside Ye Fan's room, Su Yuheng saw Ye Fan in a coma.

"Junior Brother, what happened to you? I am your Third Senior Sister, wake up quickly, don't scare me!"

"Get up quickly, Senior Sister has prepared a brand new Spiritual Artifact for you, wake up and take a look."

"Junior Brother, you must not be okay. If something happens to you, what will I do?"

"Junior Brother, didn't you say you wanted to marry me? How can you marry me like this!"

Seeing the Junior Brother who was usually lively and energetic now in such a dying state, Su Yuheng was anxious.

Probing with her Divine Sense, Su Yuheng immediately felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Ye Fan's dantian sea had been completely crushed, and recovering was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Moreover... the current Ye Fan's lower body was shattered; he could no longer be considered a man.

"Shen Lian!!!" Seeing this scene, Su Yuheng immediately shouted in anger.

The powerful Aura Pressure shook the entire room, making it creak as if it were about to collapse.

"I will absolutely not let you off, even if you flee to the ends of the earth! I will make you pay the price!"

After the angry rebuke, she pointed into the Void Realm and threw out a Boundary Painting Stone. Instantly, the space inside the room twisted, and a crack slowly appeared.

The next moment, two figures, one old and one young, appeared in the room. "Greetings, President!"

Both of them were at the Void Refining Realm; the old man was at the fifth level of the Void Refining Realm, and the youth was at the second level of the Void Refining Realm.

"At all costs, find Shen Lian, and then bring him before me."

Su Yuheng looked at Ye Fan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, her face full of heartache. "I want to slice him into a thousand pieces right in front of Junior Brother Ye!"

"Yes, President!" The two accepted the order and turned into streams of light, disappearing from the room in an instant.

Su Yuheng sat beside Ye Fan, her face full of tenderness and heartache, gently stroking his cheek. "Junior Brother, don't worry, I will definitely make the person who bullied you pay a heavy price!"

...

Far away, a thousand miles from the Heavenly Feather Sect, in the wilderness, Shen Lian was sitting cross-legged beside a spiritual spring, meditating to stabilize his cultivation.

In a single day, his cultivation had skyrocketed from the first level of Qi Gathering to the Peak of the Void Refining Realm. Such a Heaven-Defying cultivation speed brought about by external forces naturally carried the side effect of an unstable Realm.

Fortunately, over this night, without any external disturbances, Shen Lian's Realm gradually merged with his Divine Soul, completely stabilizing his Foundation.

"Huu..." Exhaling a breath of turbid air, he slowly opened his eyes and began to ponder his next plan.

"In my current state, if I want to break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, I still need a suitable environment. Entering the Tribulation Crossing Realm will inevitably attract the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation. If I am the slightest bit careless, I will die and my Dao will dissipate. I must think carefully..."

"One-third of the known territory of the Primordial Continent is under the sphere of influence of those seven white-eyed wolves, but these spheres of influence are not stable."

"For instance, right now, the biggest competitor to Su Yuheng's Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is the Longevity Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps I can borrow the power of the Longevity Chamber of Commerce to successfully Undergo Tribulation."

"But how can I gain the trust of the Longevity Chamber of Commerce? I must plan this out."

Very quickly, Shen Lian's mind calculated hundreds of feasible methods. However, these plans would take months at the shortest, or years at the longest, to see results.

Plus, the glorious deeds of his past self being a cuckold and a simp had already spread across the land; wanting to gain the trust of other factions was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Damn it, what a piece of trash!" Thinking of this, Shen Lian was so angry that he cursed directly. These words were naturally directed at the predecessor who had previously occupied his body.

"You wasted the hope of reaching the summit on a group of ungrateful white-eyed wolves. You really gave me a difficult problem, but..."

The next moment, Shen Lian slowly unfolded his Folding Fan. "You also managed to increase the difficulty of challenging myself. It doesn't matter. Since all plans are not as expected, I will use the most direct method to deal with it!"

Having made up his mind, Shen Lian immediately prepared to leave this place and head toward Wushuang City, which was ten thousand miles away. That was the stronghold of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce in the Eastern Region, and an auction was about to be held there.

Just as Shen Lian was about to set off, the atmosphere around him suddenly plummeted. The next moment, two figures, one old and one young, blocked his path.

"Shen Lian, we've finally found you, hehehe..." "By the order of the President, we are here specifically to take you back to the Heavenly Feather Sect to receive your punishment."

As a result, as soon as the voice fell, Shen Lian's arrogant laughter rang out. "Hahaha—"

"Su Yuheng sent you two pieces of trash to catch me? Should I say she is overconfident, or ignorant and stupid?"

He pointed at the two with his hand, his eyes full of disdain.

"Since you have all come to my doorstep voluntarily, leave your lives behind. I allow you to offer up your ignorant lives, adding to the glory of my victory! Come, bloom the last light of your lives to the fullest, do not drink the bitter cup of regret!"
