67: Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years

"The assassination of the Saint is an unforgivable crime. All participants shall endure the punishment of Three Blades Six Holes, the punishment of A Thousand Cuts, the punishment of..."

As Su Kuangdao recited the system of punishments,

everyone couldn't help but shiver.

This was simply more unbearable than death; if they truly endured these punishments, dying immediately would be more straightforward.

However, this also brought a sense of relief to everyone's hearts.

Thinking of Su Ze facing these punishments, they felt an incomparable sense of gratification.

After all, in their eyes, Su Ze was now an utterly wicked little beast.

The Saint was so good, yet he tried to assassinate him out of jealousy.

Such a person simply did not deserve forgiveness!

"Take Su Ze down and execute him with extreme punishment, starting with the Three Blades Six Holes."

Su Kuangdao sat in the high seat, his black robe making him appear righteous and full of majesty, vaguely shrouded in Divine Might, with surging Qi and Blood behind him, like a supreme Emperor who controlled Heaven and Earth.

Just as the Punishment Hall Disciples lined up to take Su Ze away,

Su Shengyuan suddenly sighed.

His handsome face was filled with pity, and his sigh was mixed with regret.

"Uncle Kuangdao, all clan elders, all uncles and brothers, I, the Saint, also bear responsibility for Su Ze's matter. I think these punishments should be waived."

"How about this: abolish Su Ze's Cultivation and talent, expel him from the Su Family, and let him live as an ordinary person for the rest of his life. After all, he is still young."

Upon hearing this, Su Kuangdao and everyone else were astonished again.

They did not expect Su Shengyuan to be so magnanimous, only abolishing Su Ze's Cultivation and talent, but not taking his life.

One must know that Su Ze had almost assassinated him not long ago.

"Holy Abyss, are you sure you want to do this?" Su Kuangdao asked with a hint of confusion.

Su Shengyuan nodded, smiling indifferently, showing no hint of revenge. "I hope Uncle Kuangdao can be lenient with Su Ze. It's not a big deal for young people to make mistakes; knowing one's mistakes and being able to correct them is of great good. This is also the last lesson I, as his elder brother, can give to young Su Ze."

"Good!"

Listening to a wise person's words is better than studying for ten years.

Everyone at the entrance of the Ancient Hall applauded and cheered, already utterly impressed by Su Shengyuan. The younger generation's eyes even showed fervent admiration.

Some young girls even had slightly red eyes, moved to tears.

Su Kuangdao nodded in approval, a rare smile appearing on his face.

"Nephew Holy Abyss's magnanimity is as vast as the ocean, and his demeanor is extraordinary. Since that is the case, then it shall be as you wish."

"Come, take Su Ze away, remove his name from the family register, abolish his Cultivation and talent, and then throw him out of the Su Family, never to step foot in the Su Family again for all eternity."

As Su Kuangdao's majestic voice fell,

a clan elder led the Law enforcement Disciples and dragged Su Ze away.

Two bloodstains were left on the ground, indicating that Su Ze's condition was not very good at the moment.

Su Shengyuan watched Su Ze's gradually disappearing back and sneered in his heart.

Broad-minded? Magnanimous?

Joking aside, he did this entirely to make Su Ze his treasure-hunting rat.

After all, with his Cultivation and talent abolished, and the protagonist suffering such great hardships, Heavenly Dao's father would surely guide him to a great Dao.

Then he would undergo Nirvana and Rebirth, and create new glory.

Isn't this the trope in those novels?!

First, let the protagonist suffer all kinds of hardships, then let him turn the tide in adversity, then take revenge, stepping on his former enemies, and have a face-slapping moment.

Currently, Su Shengyuan was creating such an opportunity for Su Ze to undergo Nirvana and Rebirth in adversity.

And he would just patiently be a leek farmer who specialized in harvesting leeks.

"Alright, everyone disperse. This matter is not open for further discussion. Those who violate this will come to the Punishment Hall to receive punishment themselves."

With Su Kuangdao's command,

everyone in the Ancient Hall dispersed.

Su Shengyuan bowed to the clan elders, then walked out with an elegant demeanor and light steps.

A hazy glow enveloped him, starlight accompanied him, and he walked under the moon. Su Shengyuan quickly disappeared into the night.

Those Disciples from various branches who had not yet dispersed stared at Su Shengyuan's retreating figure, and for a moment, they were utterly mesmerized.

"The Saint is truly a role model for our generation. In the past, we were narrow-minded and underestimated the Saint."

"Indeed, the Saint is unassuming and humble, clearly possessing the potential of a Young Emperor, yet he is neither arrogant nor impatient, approachable, refined, and elegant. Even when we slandered the Saint, he never blamed us."

"We were wrong, we were greatly mistaken. From now on, I will surely obey the Saint's words. If I violate them, may I be struck by five bolts of thunder from Heaven and be eternally suppressed in the Sea of Bitterness."

"..."

Under the younger generation's wild imagination, Su Shengyuan had transformed into a modest, profound, and capable, yet unpretentious, gentle, and amiable good elder brother.

And the clan elders of the Punishment Hall, as well as Su Kuangdao, were also wildly imagining, believing that with Su Shengyuan, the Su Family's ancestral grave must have been smoking with good fortune.

As the matter continued to ferment, coupled with the younger generation's exaggerated embellishments, depicting Su Ze as utterly shameless and Su Shengyuan as utterly magnanimous,

Su Shengyuan's prestige in the ten branches of the Su Family Ancestral Land once again reached an extreme.

It could be said that among the younger generation, no one dared to offend Su Shengyuan again. Su Shengyuan thus firmly held the supreme throne as the number one person of the Su Family's younger generation.

Even those clan elders and seniors who used to dislike Su Shengyuan had a 180-degree change in their attitude towards him.

...

Three days passed like this!

Su Ze endured three days and three nights of torment in the dungeon prison.

At this moment, his Nine Great Dao Palaces were abolished, his Cultivation was abolished, and his Bloodline was abolished, completely becoming a triple- Waste youth.

"By order of the Hall Master, throw Su Ze out of the Su Family."

Several Law enforcement Disciples entered the prison, holding Su Kuangdao's decree, and dragged Su Ze out.

After exiting the heavily guarded prison,

a massive Black Scale Flood Dragon, like a small mountain, descended from the sky, roaring at Su Ze, who had already become a bloody mess. Its eyes, covered in black flowing light, even showed disdain.

It seemed unwilling to let Su Ze climb on.

The Black Scale Flood Dragon possessed a trace of the ancient Dragon Clan's Bloodline, with wisps of Divine Might surrounding its body. Under the sunlight, its black scales shimmered with an eerie glow.

Furthermore, the light of Law revolved above its head, highlighting its majestic and extraordinary, vast Divine Might.

Although it was a mount, it had long since gained sentience and Cultivated intelligence.

It had also heard about the Saint's assassination these past few days and knew that it was done by the person in front of it.

That's why it showed a disgusted expression.

Because in its heart, the Saint was a great person who often picked spiritual fruits for it to eat.

How could such a good person still be assassinated?

The one who assassinated the Saint was simply worse than a beast!

The Law enforcement Disciples appeased the Black Scale Flood Dragon, then spat at Su Ze, "See? Even Little Black dislikes you. To be a human to this extent, you are the first in history."

Another Disciple couldn't help but grab Su Ze's hair and directly slapped him.

"I really wish I could kill you, but the Saint is magnanimous and has ordered us not to harm your life. Otherwise, if we don't flay you alive, it will be hard to quell our anger."
