Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Sunset
"I will follow Your Highness' orders," the Light Punishment Saint smiled slightly.
The next moment, three majestic Dou Qi light beams spurted from his fingertips, transforming into three indestructible light locks to tie up three figures.
"Swish!" The three figures were pulled over directly, without even a little room for resistance.
Among the three, Xiao Jiande was the first to bear the brunt.
The other two were naturally the two Dou Emperor cultivators who went to Spirit Grass Village that night.
Although the two were very well hidden amongst the crowd, it was useless to hide yourself in front of a Dou Saint.
"Xiao! Xiao Yan! Spare my life, please spare me." Xiao Jiande's was on the brink of collapse.
He had never expected that Xiao Yan was actually the third Imperial Son of the Xiao clan and that even the Dou Saint-level experts of the Punishment Hall obeyed him.
"Haha, if I spare you, who will get justice for those innocent people?" Xiao Yan had a playful smile on his face.
"When you relied on your so-called power and background to wantonly destroy other people's lives, did you ever think that this day would come for you?"
After saying that, his expression returned to calm, he said with a hint of majesty, "Xiao Jiande, relying on his background, has committed many evils, harmed the descendants of my Xiao clan, and destroyed the foundation of my Xiao clan. From today on, his Dou Qi cultivation will be abolished, and he will be demoted to a lesser descendant, never to be allowed to return to the family tree."
After saying that, a stream of Dou Qi rushed from his hand and crashed into Xiao Jiande's dantian fiercely. Xiao Jiande's face turned pale, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura and breath gradually weakened.
Seeing his grandson being crippled, Xiao Jiande's grandfather couldn't help but roar, "Xiao Yan!!"
"How dare you! Who gave you the courage to yell at the Imperial Son?"
The Light Punishment Saint snorted coldly, the purple-robed old man spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Old thing, do you think you can run away?" Xiao Yan snorted coldly.
"You attacked the Xiao clan's Imperial Son, was disrespectful to me, and intended to shield a criminal. I sentence you to a hundred years of reform in the Demon Suppression Tower."
"You!" The purple-robed old man's face showed anger and then fear.
The average layman may ask what is the Demon Suppression Tower and how is it so terrifying that even high level cultivators fear it. Those in the know however, are aware that it is the prison of the Xiao clan. It is dark inside, there is a cold and evil aura there all year round. Even a Dou Venerate cultivator will lose a layer of skin if he stays there for a hundred years.
"Your Highness, Xiao Jiande made a mistake, naturally Your Highness should punish him as you please, but isn't his grandfather's punishment too harsh?" Xiao Lu asked cautiously.
It doesn't matter if a useless Dou Emperor descendant dies, but the purple-robed old man is a seven-star Dou Venerate, he is considered a powerhouse with high status in their lineage.
"If you keep talking nonsense," Xiao Yan turned his head coldly and snapped, "I will punish you too!"
Xiao Lu was stunned at first, and then his face turned pale and blue, with veins on his forehead exposed.
"Xiao Lu, do you want to rebel?" The Light Punishment Saint turned his head and glanced at Xiao Lu coldly.
His voice was like ice thrown into the raging fire, which instantly cleared Xiao Lu's eyes.
Fortunately, the group of juniors below did not hear the conversation between the two. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and calmed down.
Looking at Xiao Lu's expression, Xiao Yan sneered.
It wasn't that he had a bad temper, but he wanted to let the two Half Saints as well as everyone else know his temper. Only people with temper can be respected by the people around them and have the qualifications to rule. Otherwise, no matter how noble his status is, he will be looked down upon over time.
In the Earth's ancient times, all the capable emperors of the past dynasties had a cruel temper, were decisive in killing, and did not change their words.
As for offending Xiao Lu, he did not care.
An old man who cultivated for 500 years to become a saint, so what if he was offended, as long as he could become a Dou Saint as soon as possible, these people would only be in awe of him and dare not have the slightest hatred.
"Although you two are not the masterminds behind what happened, you are the ones responsible for disruption to people's lives and deaths. You are sentenced for the same crime as Xiao Jiande and receive the same punishment. If you want to blame someone, blame it on following the wrong master."
Xiao Yan shot out two more streams of Dou Qi, the two Dou Emperors behind Xiao Jiande immediately spat out blood, their aura dropped rapidly like a deflated ball.
"These 3 criminals were sentenced by this Imperial Son himself. After demoting these three people to the status of lesser descendants, if anyone dares to secretly help them, they will be my enemy!"
Xiao Yan glanced coldly at the young disciples of Xiao Lu's lineage.
As Xiao Yan glanced at the masses below, these people's hearts trembled, they could only bring themselves to look at Xiao Jiande in pity and could not muster the slightest resistance.
Losing power and background is fine, but now that his cultivation was crippled, one could imagine how miserable Xiao Jiande's future will be.
"Elder Light Punishment, the follow-up matters is your Punishment Hall's business. I will not get involved. I just hope that the Punishment Hall will strictly follow the clan law." Xiao Yan smiled slightly.
"Haha, Your Highness, rest assured, leave this matter to me. I will definitely follow the rules."
The Light Punishment Saint nodded and smiled.
"In that case, thank you for your hard work." After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he turned into a stream of light and flew back.
After Xiao Yan flew away, the Light Punishment Saint's smiling face returned to its usual cold and calm expression.
"Brother Light Punishment." Xiao Lu on the side opened his mouth.
No matter how many Dou Saints there are in the Xiao clan, it is good for there to be 100-200. With such a low number of Dou Saints, naturally the Dou Saints know each other.
"What is it? Do you want to plead for this Dou Venerate?" The Light Punishment Saint turned his head.
"Even if we can't leave the Demon Suppression Tower, could you help them be a little more comfortable inside." Xiao Lu glanced at the purple-robed old man.
"Haha." The Light Punishment Saint sneered and said, "Brother Xiao Lu, I really don't know how you have been cultivating for the past few hundred years. On account of our relationship, I will give you a piece of advice, do not to sacrifice yourself for a few useless juniors."
"If it were the other two Princes who came here today, would you still dare to say these words?"
(T/N: Princes here is referring to the other 2 Imperial Son's)
After saying that, he grabbed with his right hand, and the four people, including the purple-robed old man, were caught without any resistance, he then disappeared into space with a wave of his hand.
Xiao Lu stood there, his face changing for a while, it was unknown what he was thinking.
Finally, he glanced at his descendants flying in the sky and said coldly, "Tonight, all the elders with a cultivation level of Dou Venerate or above will hold a meeting to strictly enforce the family rules!"
Xiao Yan on the other side had returned to the ruins of Spirit Grass Village, he glanced at the old village chief whose hair was thinning and said, "Old sir, everything has been resolved. Xiao Jiande and the two people who were responsible it had their Dou Qi abolished and were demoted to lesser descendants. I did not execute him but crippled him so that he can personally experience the pain of those he oppressed. Without Dou Qi and background, his end will be even more miserable."
"Thank you, sir!" The old village chief stood up and bowed to Xiao Yan. His address to Xiao Yan had inadvertently changed from young master to sir.
Behind him, the group of descendants also bowed.
"It was me who caused the trouble for you, yet you want you to thank me. I do not deserve this." Xiao Yan smiled and helped the villagers up. It was hard to tell whether he was laughing at himself or at the world.
"This is to help you in rebuilding the village. Next, I will buy this basin. Under my name, no one dares to mess with me." He waved his hand and a jade bottle fell into the hands of each villager.
These jade bottles were full of fourth-grade elixirs, this is a great fortune for the many ordinary villagers.
"Thank you, sir!" The villagers clasped their fists and bowed again.
In response, Xiao Yan just smiled slightly and left with his Dou Qi wings flapping.
"Xiao Yanzi, when did you become the Imperial Son? How come I don't know?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
"Guess?"
"I guess your big foot!" Xiao Yu rolled her eyes.
Xiao Yan didn't say anything else but looked at the sky while flying.
The sky gradually dimmed, but it was a pity that the dull Pure Lotus Demon Flame could not create a romantic sunset.
Perhaps, he was too busy standing guard to think about these things.
Xiao Yan felt that it was now time to walk out of the Xiao Realm and take a look at the sunset of the Dou Qi Continent.
