65: I call you my cousin, and you call me your uncle.
Su Shengyuan looked at Su Ze, his eyes full of amusement.
"This Saint and your aunt are deeply in love, so from now on, let's address each other differently."
"I'll call you cousin, and you call me uncle-in-law."
"This way, we'll be even closer relatives, and the offense you committed against this Saint today will be dismissed."
Such a familiar scene.
If Jun Wuchen were still alive, he would definitely not feel lonely.
Su Ze listened to these heart-stabbing words.
He immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Su Shengyuan, you're dreaming! If you have the guts, kill me! Haha, if you don't kill me, one day I will slice you into a thousand pieces, skin you, and pull out your tendons."
Su Ze once again fell into a state of madness, his aura becoming incomparably violent, streaks of flowing light blooming, runes surging, as he tried to charge at Su Shengyuan again.
But under the suppression of Tong Xiayue, a Peak King Sealing Realm expert, Su Ze was completely unable to move an inch.
Su Ze's eyes turned blood red, and he let out an unwilling roar.
"Aunt, let go of me! We'll work together to kill Su Shenyuan, and then you can..."
"Shut up! You're incorrigible and stubborn. The Saint and I are already deeply in love, yet you're here threatening endless conflict with the Saint. What? Do you even want to kill me?"
Tong Xiayue was completely enraged. Her delicate hand covered the sky, and she slammed a palm down.
The giant white jade palm, condensed from True Qi, instantly slammed Su Ze into the ground.
"Su Ze, you have committed a grave mistake. You must go to the Punishment Hall."
With that said!
Tong Xiayue looked at Su Shengyuan, asking for his opinion.
After all, Su Shengyuan was the victim.
"Then send him to the Punishment Hall. This way, the Disciples of the Tenth Line will not be implicated," Su Shengyuan agreed.
Looking at the more than five thousand points of Heaven's Luck that had dropped from Su Ze's head, Su Shengyuan was already laughing internally.
Tong Xiayue saw that Su Shengyuan was still considering the Tenth Line.
Her heart instantly melted!
The Saint is a good person!
After all, the assassination of a Saint was too significant. Once the Old Ancestor in the Ancestral Land became enraged, the Tenth Line might also be punished.
Now, Su Shengyuan was only punishing Su Ze alone.
It could only be said that his magnanimity was too great.
...
Night fell!
As a certain matter spread, the calm Floating Dragon Island once again fell into turmoil.
"What? Su Ze of the Tenth Line actually tried to assassinate the Saint?"
"How dare he? Has he gone mad? Quick, get dressed, let's go see if the Saint was injured."
"Su Ze, that little bastard, he's tired of living! How dare he do something like assassinating the Saint, which could destroy the Tenth Line."
"Su Ze is in the Punishment Hall? Quickly, go to the Punishment Hall! Today, we must light this bastard's sky lantern."
...
The bright moon hung in the sky, adorned with stars.
Streaks of flowing light could be seen flying out from various Peaks and islands, heading towards the Punishment Hall.
At this moment, in the Ancient Hall of the Su Family's Punishment Hall.
Elders sat on both sides of the Ancient Hall, all radiating brilliant light, with divine light rising behind them, and surging, majestic Qi and blood, possessing the power to suppress all heavens.
These Elders were in charge of the Su Family's Punishment Hall, acting only with fairness and impartiality, never engaging in favoritism or colluding with any Meridian.
In short, they conducted business according to established procedures!
Imperial power granted, execute first, report later.
The Punishment Hall was directly under the jurisdiction of the Su Family Old Ancestor in the Ancestral Land.
Even if the Family Head, Su Tianhong, made a mistake, the Punishment Hall still had the right to interrogate him.
The Punishment Hall held a special status in the Su Family.
It was a sharp sword of the Su Family!
But it was only for internal use, not external.
After all, a Family was too large, and it was inevitable that some parasites would appear.
The existence of the Punishment Hall was specifically to eliminate these parasites and escort the Su Family's development.
The Head of the Punishment Hall was named Su Kuangdao, appearing to be middle-aged, dressed in a black robe, his face stern without anger, sitting in the highest position in the Ancient Hall.
"The matter has been thoroughly investigated. Su Ze, a Disciple of the Tenth Line, out of jealousy for Su Shengyuan's talent, and due to being decisively defeated by Su Shengyuan in the Family meeting, harbored hatred, and thus attempted to assassinate Su Shengyuan tonight."
"Su Ze, do you admit your guilt!"
Su Kuangdao's eyes faintly held anger as he looked at the utterly disheveled Su Ze kneeling in the center of the Ancient Hall.
Under Su Kuangdao's governance, such a major incident had never occurred in the Su Family. He never expected that an assassination attempt on the Saint would happen today.
This made Su Kuangdao somewhat angry.
Because it indicated that his governance ability was lacking.
Once the Saints of the Ancestral Land laid blame, Su Kuangdao might also not escape responsibility.
After all, the current Su Shengyuan was the precious treasure of those Saints, held in their hands for fear of harming him, and held in their mouths for fear of melting him.
Yet, despite this, Su Ze still dared to make an assassination attempt.
This made Su Kuangdao, who was always upright, wish he could immediately throw Su Ze into the Su Family dungeon and subject him to all the tortures.
Su Ze hung his head, silent, his eyes only blood red.
Hate was rampant! He wished he could skin Su Shengyuan, pull out his tendons, eat his flesh, and drink his blood.
At this moment, he finally understood.
His current predicament was all Su Shengyuan's scheme.
And he, oblivious, had stepped into the trap Su Shengyuan had laid for him, one step at a time.
Now the facts were laid bare.
Even if he tried to argue, it would be futile.
So, he might as well resign himself to fate!
Moreover, Su Ze was already disheartened at this moment.
His aunt had completely betrayed him, and all his beliefs collapsed at that moment.
And he blamed all of this on Su Shengyuan.
If Su Shengyuan hadn't suddenly entered his life.
He might have already been with Tong Xiayue.
At this moment!
Su Hengxing's aged voice rang out from outside the Ancient Hall.
"Tenth Line Grand Elder Su Hengxing has come to plead guilty. I hope the Elders of the Punishment Hall will grant an audience."
"Enter!"
As the words fell.
Su Hengxing slowly walked in.
When he saw Su Ze kneeling on the ground, he could no longer control himself and kicked him.
"You little beast, what exactly do you want to do? Do you want to destroy the Tenth Line?"
"Your father and mother died because of you. Now you still want to bury the Tenth Line?"
"Little beast, this old man will beat you to death today."
...
Su Hengxing pressed Su Ze to the ground and rubbed him, infuriated, his beard bristling, his old face flushed red, wishing he could immediately suppress and kill Su Ze here to prevent him from harming the Tenth Line further.
Su Kuangdao did not stop him!
If it weren't for his identity as the Head of the Punishment Hall, he would have long since taken up a blade and slashed at him.
Su Shengyuan sat behind the desk, watching the scene with interest.
Hmm... very comfortable!
Su Ze's Heaven's Luck value was plummeting again.
"Kuangdao, for Su Ze's assassination attempt on the Saint, our Tenth Line also bears responsibility. It is because we old fellows were not strict enough in our discipline that such a beast emerged. The Tenth Line is at the mercy of the Punishment Hall's judgment."
After venting the anger in his heart.
Su Hengxing looked at Su Kuangdao and said with a helpless expression.
It was impossible to distance themselves now, as Su Ze was a Disciple of the Tenth Line after all.
They could only resign themselves to fate!
After all, such a major event as assassinating a Saint.
In the history of the Su Family, it had never happened before.
Su Hengxing now only hoped that the Punishment Hall would not punish the Tenth Line too severely, otherwise, from now on, there would only be nine Meridians in the Su Family Ancestral Land.
