MTLNOVEL Chapter 395: Punishment
After finishing his conversation with Lu Jingshi, Su Jie returned to the longevity banquet.
"So you are Su Jie?"
A voice came just after Su Jie had sat down, and trouble was starting to arrive.
More than ten young Demon Cultivators walked over, led by a man and a woman.
The man had a high nose bridge and his eyebrows carried an imperceptible, murderous aura, like two unsheathed swords pointing straight at the sky. It was Chang Shiyang.
The woman wore a light green long dress that gently swayed with the wind, like the new green willow branches of spring. Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her skin smooth as porcelain, faintly flushed like peach blossoms. Her face was so exquisitely crafted it seemed like an artist's masterpiece; she was Chu Xuexin, the Holy Daughter of the Desire Sect.
Besides that, there were cultivators from several Demon Sect families. Su Jie did not recognize them, but he could guess that they belonged to the Chongzhou Demon Sect.
Next to Chang Shiyang stood a middle-aged man without a white beard, dressed in the long robe of an Elder from the Heavenly Soul Sect.
Su Jie, holding a cup of wine, shifted his gaze onto this group, and upon seeing Chang Shiyang in the crowd, said indifferently, "I told you, Sect Master Lu spared you today, and yet you dare to appear in front of me, do you really want to die?"
At these words, Chang Shiyang's face turned visibly red, and he said, "I am here today not just for myself."
"Harming the Divine Soul and planting the Primordial Spirit Demon Seed, Master Su, aren't you being a bit too overbearing?"
Chu Xuexin frowned and spoke in a very indignant tone.
"Holy Daughter of the Desire Sect, the scores between me and the Desire Sect are not yet settled."
Su Jie's gaze moved behind Chu Xuexin, unfortunately not finding the figure of Wen Xian.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man next to Chu Xuexin spoke, "Master Su, I am Chi Hengshan, the Disciplinary Elder of the Heavenly Soul Sect. I have received complaints that you not only maliciously threatened our guests for money but also harmed the longevity guests with the Primordial Spirit Demon Seed. Such actions have violated our Heavenly Soul Sect's rules, and you need to come with us."
"Oh, do you understand what you are doing?"
Su Jie slightly squinted his eyes as he looked at Chi Hengshan, the Elder of the Heavenly Soul Sect, surprised that the Heavenly Soul Sect was also involved.
With a brief thought, Su Jie had a guess.
The person was likely an Elder acquainted with Chang Shiyang and Chu Xuexin, here to stand up for the two, unrelated to the official stance of the Heavenly Soul Sect.
"Please come with us, Master Su, I do not wish to repeat myself."
Chi Hengshan, sensing Su Jie's threat and contempt, suddenly became more agitated in his speech.
What did it matter if Su Jie was an Immortal Seed? This was the territory of the Heavenly Soul Sect, where Su Jie's unruliness was not tolerated.
He had only come out of seclusion yesterday because of the Sect Master's birthday.
Indeed, as Su Jie said, after leaving seclusion, he had been visited by Chu Xuexin and, having a friendship with the Desire Sect, he had decided to give Chu a favor by finding trouble for Su Jie, to downplay his own prestige.
He definitely understood who Su Jie was, having heard from Chu that he was an aspirant of Ghost Ridge Palace. However, in his view, there was little deep connection, even some conflict between Heavenly Soul Sect and Ghost Ridge Palace, and he saw it as nothing more than a small prank.
"It seems you know nothing at all! You must be insignificant within the Heavenly Soul Sect. Getting involved in this, I would advise you not to harm yourself."
Su Jie spoke calmly, his Divine Sense sweeping over Chi Hengshan's body.
Chi Hengshan, feeling Su Jie's Divine Sense, instinctively surged his Spiritual Power, and Su Jie sensed his power.
"First Level of the Secret Realm, with such Cultivation, I thought so, indeed an insignificant small character."
Su Jie sneered, clearly, first-level Cultivation did not rank among the Elders, nor was it a significant position, merely a dry title. Chi Hengshan was out of touch with many important matters of the Heavenly Soul Sect, that's why he didn't understand Su Jie's status, and that made things clear to Su Jie.
"It seems you do not regard our Heavenly Soul Sect at all."
Chi Hengshan's expression turned extremely ugly; Su Jie's disrespect angered him, and he couldn't believe Su Jie dared to be so arrogant in the Heavenly Soul Sect.
If it weren't for this being the Sect Master's birthday, he would have acted already.
"Master Su, you should know this is the Heavenly Soul Sect, and you are being excessive by disregarding even a Heavenly Soul Sect Elder."
Chu Xuexin moved to stand beside Chi Hengshan, indicating her support for him, further displeasing him towards Su Jie.
"Heh, is it your turn to speak?"
Su Jie scoffed coldly, his gaze growing dangerous. Chu Xuexin's heart clenched, a sense of mortal fear creeping into her mind.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Su Jie's eyes turned a pale lavender, and two High-Temperature Beams pierced forth, even more astonishing was that along with the beams, hundreds of pale corpse hands swarmed out.
Chu Xuexin's expression changed slightly, she stepped back half a step, clasped her hands together, and waves of blue ripples formed a transparent blue light shield.
The High-Temperature Beam was deflected, but the countless corpse hands that followed morphed into a giant iron fist that smashed down on her head.
Bang!
Chu Xuexin was directly thrown tens of meters away and crashed into a building.
The Demon Cultivators were all stunned, Su Jie had acted without warning, and before they could react, their dream goddess was blasted away.
"Xue Xin!"
Chang Shiyang, dumbfounded with his mouth agape, stared blankly in the direction where Chu Xuexin had been thrown.
"How dare you harm someone right before me, what do you take our Heavenly Soul Sect for?"
Chi Hengshan's face turned ashen, unable to believe that Su Jie dared to strike in his presence.
