Chapter 475: Where Is She? Demanding For Compensation After Killing People

Upon hearing what Chu Kuangren said, Parchprime Palace Lord did not react. However, Zhang Xuan beside him did not have the same composure. Panic was written all over his face, and Chu Kuangren had picked it up.

There was definitely something fishy going on with Parchprime Palace.

Chu Kuangren thought to himself.

“That disciple of mine is a female, named Shang Qingxue. Beside me here is her ancestor, a Sage Ruler. He has been separated from Shang Qingxue for many years, and his only wish is to see his descendent again. If anything bad were to happen to her, he would never let it rest…”

Chu Kuangren observed the crowd’s reaction as he continued, only to see that Zhang Xuan’s face was drained of color and was now as pale as a sheet of paper. His body, on the other hand, was trembling non-stop…

These minute movements were all caught by Chu Kuangren’s eyes.

“So tell me… where the h.e.l.l is she?!”

Chu Kuangren raised his voice all of a sudden.

His voice was like thunder, which shook the entire palace.

Zhang Xuan was so petrified that he almost pa.s.sed out.

Parchprime Palace Lord quickly answered him, “Alright, we’ll come clean, Sect Leader Chu. The disciple that you’re looking for is not in our Parchprime Palace. It’s just a little misunderstanding. I plead with Sect Leader Chu to listen to our explanation…”

“Listen to your explanation or your quibble?!”

Chu Kuangren demanded in a cold, harsh tone. “Bring me to her!”

“Sect Leader Chu, this way please.”

Under these circ.u.mstances, Parchprime Palace no longer had hopes for any peaceful resolutions. Hence, he led Chu Kuangren and White-Robed General toward the confinement chamber.

The confinement chamber was a special room Parchprime Palace used to detain disciples who had committed crimes. It was equipped with countless restricting mechanisms, and it could block spiritual thoughts from entering.

This also explained why Chu Kuangren was not able to locate Shang Qingxue with his spiritual thought.

The confinement chamber had many rooms. Chu Kuangren and a few other people walked into the confinement chamber, pa.s.sed by a corridor, and arrived at a lavish courtyard.

The moment he opened the room door, a blue-gowned lady inside instantly drew a longsword and, to everyone’s shock, held it at her own throat.

“If you dare to step closer, I will… Sect Leader!!”

Shang Qingxue’s eyes met with this incredibly familiar figure before she could even finish her sentence. She subconsciously lowered the longsword in her hand with tears in her eyes.

Chu Kuangren looked closely at her, and his expression turned extremely hostile.

Other than being extremely weak and restricted of her spiritual power, the Shang Qingxue before him did not seem to have sustained any serious injury.

Nevertheless, the image of her subconsciously drawing the sword and threatening to kill herself the moment they opened the door had jabbed Chu Kuangren and White-Robed General’s hearts deeply.

What had she experienced for her to use her own death as a threat to defend herself?

What kind of psychological trauma had she been under these past few days?

Chu Kuangren had a rough idea of what that could be even without much thought.

“Qingxue, Sect Leader is here to bring you home.” Chu Kuangren took a deep breath, trying his best to soothe the fury on his face.

“Sect Leader…” Shang Qingxue could not hold back any longer as she directly threw herself into his arms with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Chu Kuangren knew Shang Qingxue quite well. Back then, even though he gave her an almost h.e.l.lish training regime, she was still able to persevere through it.

Yet now, she could not hold back her tears upon seeing him.

Only the heavens would know what sort of trauma she had gone through here.

After a while, Shang Qingxue let go of Chu Kuangren and wiped the tears off her eyes. She tried her best to compose herself and asked, “Sect Leader, how did you guys find me?”

“We’ll explain that to you later. First, I need you to tell me who locked you in here,” Chu Kuangren inquired.

Shang Qingxue went on to tell the whole story in detail.

Two months ago, she journeyed here while on training and b.u.mped into Parchprime Palace’s Zhang Xuan by chance. He l.u.s.ted for her, so he tricked her into Parchprime Palace, where he proceeded to poison her to lock away her spiritual powers.

Throughout these two months, she kept herself alive by threatening to kill herself every time her captor tried to get close to her. She soldiered on with whatever little amount of spiritual power she had left in her. She did not take a single drop of water nor a single morsel of food from them. She was even too afraid to fall asleep for fear that it would give Zhang Xuan the chance to take advantage of her.

Zhang Xuan, on the other hand, did not rush things and played along with her.

He was sure that she would not hold on much longer.

It was right at this crucial moment that Chu Kuangren showed up.

However, Chu Kuangren knew that even if he did not come here, Zhang Xuan would not dare to hurt Shang Qingxue.

That was because news of him breaking the Heavenly Punishment Seal had already spread to every inch of this land.

Even so, Zhang Xuan would still need to pay the price.

“Sect Leader Zhang, I think you don’t need me to tell you what you need to do here, right?” Chu Kuangren asked coldly.

“Sect Leader Chu, Ms. Shang isn’t hurt, but we Parchprime Palace are willing to compensate you monetarily. I hope Sect Leader Chu will kindly accept our offer.”

Parchprime Palace Lord said.

After all, that was his own grandson. He had to try and save him if he could.

“I’m not going to repeat it twice. Unless you intend to let the entire Parchprime Palace perish with him?” Chu Kuangren’s tone of voice deepened slightly.

The Parchprime Palace Lord was left speechless.

“Understood.”

A few moments later, Zhang Xuan was held down before Chu Kuangren and his people.

“Sect Leader Chu, please have mercy on me. I won’t dare to do it ever again.”

Zhang Xuan kept kowtowing to beg for his life.

“Qingxue, I’ll leave this to you.”

Shang Qingxue did not hesitate at all. As soon as she drew her longsword, a sword ray shot out and Zhang Xuan’s head dropped to the floor, where it spun a couple of times.

The immense fear that she had been in for the past two months was also released along with this strike. Shang Qingxue, who had not eaten or drunk for two months straight, and whose spiritual power had been sealed away, finally gave way and pa.s.sed out.

White-Robed General was a step quicker than Chu Kuangren as he held onto her. Staring into her face, the White-Robed General’s ice-cold gaze suddenly revealed a gleam of warmth. “She does look like her. She looks a lot like Ah Yu.”

Ah Yu was the Princess of the Lou Kingdom, the lover of White-Robed General.

“Why don’t you take her out for a rest in the meantime.”

“Alright.”

After White-Robed General left, Chu Kuangren pulled out a letter and handed it to the Parchprime Palace Lord. Not once did he bat an eye on the corpse on the floor. “Today, I’ve come here not just to look for my disciple. There’s one more matter to settle.”

“That is Liu Yiqing was caught attempting to infiltrate the Black Heaven Sect. If you guys want to take him back, you need to pay up a sum.”

Liu Yiqing let out a bitter smile from the side.

He knew that this matter was not over and done with yet.

Parchprime Palace Lord was stunned to see the letter in his hand.

What was going on?

He had killed his own grandson at Parchprime Palace, no less, and now Chu Kuangren still wanted them to pay up??

What kind of logic was this?!

“Also, Shang Qingxue may not be hurt, but she has endured tremendous mistreatments during her time here. You need to add on some compensation for her psychological trauma as well.”

What? Compensation for psychological trauma?

Parchprime Palace Lord was completely baffled, but he obliged upon seeing Chu Kuangren’s icy stare.

There was nothing else he could do other than pay him whatever he demanded.

Not unless they wanted Parchprime Palace to get a slam like those other orthodoxies, which they did not wish.

A day later.

Chu Kuangren received a ma.s.sive sum of cultivation resources. He took so much that he nearly siphoned Parchprime Palace’s entire wealth dry.

After setting this matter, Chu Kuangren and his people got ready to go back to the sect.

Just when they were about to step out of Pachprime Palace, a beam of light shot through the clouds, and strong energy fluctuations erupted from it.

“Oh, another Opportunity of Fortune has emerged? But I don’t feel an Emperor’s Aura. I wonder what type of Opportunity of Fortune this is.”

Chu Kuangren stood on top of the Illusive Mirage, looking slightly surprised.

Beside him, White-Robed General seemed hesitant for a moment before he said, “Sect Leader, I wish to go and have a look.”

“Hold on. What did you just call me?!”

Chu Kuangren exclaimed with shock written all over his face.

“Since my descendent is a disciple of Black Heaven Sect, and you’ve saved my life, I’ve decided to join the Black Heaven Sect for good. It’s only reasonable for me to call you Sect Leader now, isn’t it? Unless… you don’t wish to take me in?”

“Of course not. I welcome you with open arms.”

Chu Kuangren responded.
