Sheng Du's parents prostrated themselves before Leng Yueyan, and they kept begging her to spare their son's life. After all, he had not really been involved with the Dark Moon Sect, and it was his first time meeting Gu Ya, so they hoped that she could give him a second chance.
"Sect Master Yueyan, please-"
"You two can stop begging me." As she shook her head, Leng Yueyan interrupted Sheng Du's father. "I couldn't care less if it was their first meeting, especially since the fact is clear that he wanted to join that heretic sect. Moreover, he knows that the sect is the archenemy of all cultivators in this realm, but her jealousy has already blinded his heart and mind. Therefore, he must face the repercussions of his own decision, and I will not alter my decision to sentence him to death."
"I won't repeat my words." Leng Yueyan directly suppressed Sheng Du's parents. "If you insist on seeking forgiveness for a heretic cultivator, then I will treat you two as part of them and sentence you both to death."
After she said that, Leng Yueyan immediately left them, making Sheng Du's parents clench their fists tightly. After all, his execution would leave their clan without an heir, as their second child was a woman.
"What should we do now, husband? Are we really going to let Leng Yueyan sentence our son to death?"
Sheng Du's father let out a heavy sigh and hugged his wife. "I don't want Du'er to die, but Leng Yueyan has already made it clear that she won't change her mind. Moreover, our clan is just a small clan, and we won't be able to face her and the others, so it will only bring suffering to us and our clan. That's why I thought of accepting his death, and we can have another son."
Sheng Du's mother's expression turned sad after hearing that, but she herself understood that the situation was not favorable for them. However, unlike her husband, she found it difficult to accept that the son she gave birth to would face the death penalty.
"Let's go; I want to see our son one last time, and we will be back to our clan afterward." "Let's go; I want to see our son one last time, and we will be back to our clan afterward," Sheng Du's father said as he lifted his wife to her feet, leading her straight to the area where their son was receiving punishment. However, he forbade her from approaching their son, especially since those disciples were still furious with him and the other five. After some time, the two of them used their returning jade to return to their clan.
Meanwhile, Leng Yueyan and Yan Qingcheng were side by side on a large tree branch not far from the punishment location. "Do you think they will accept their son's death just like that?"
"If they are not stupid, they should forget about their son." Leng Yueyan replied to her clone in an unrepentant tone. "If they want to take revenge for Sheng Du's death by joining forces with that heretical sect, they will suffer, and their Sheng Clan will disappear."
Since they are one, Yan Qingcheng can understand the meaning behind Leng Yueyan's words. "Anyway, Long Wang seems to be enjoying his time in the Illusory Forest, and he sent Qin Li there, so he won't be back anytime soon."
Hearing that, Leng Yueyan smiled bitterly, as she was impatient to dual-cultivate with Chen Li, and no one could stop her from doing so now. However, he was too busy with his wives and family members.
Ye Xiaoling suddenly appeared beside them before speaking to them. "Long Wang has solved the mystery of those ruins inside the Illusory Forest, and he has asked many people to help him rebuild them."
They were not surprised that Chen Li could do it, since there were so many powerful cultivators by his side. However, Leng Yueyan was confused about his decision, especially since those ruins had been destroyed for so long. "Do you know the reason he wanted to rebuild those ruins, Sister Xiaoling?"
"Long Wang hasn't told me about it, so I don't know what his plan is." Ye Xiaoling answered her question with a shake of her head. "Actually, I know about it because I listened to the conversations of the people in this city with my senses, especially the people from the Di Clan, so I know that he asked that clan and the others to help him. However, I suspect that there is something special in those ruins, especially since he wouldn't do anything useless."
Leng Yueyan nodded in agreement. "How is your condition now? Are you ready to leave this realm?"
"Yes." Ye Xiaoling replied as she stretched out her left hand. "My injuries have almost fully recovered, and my true body has nearly completed her seclusion, so I should return to her side soon, and I'll probably merge with her again."
Leng Yueyan's expression turned ugly after hearing that, and she then grabbed Ye Xiaoling's hand. "Do you really have to merge with her? Although you two are essentially one, you two are also different individuals, so I don't think you need to merge with her again. Moreover, we've been together for so long, and I've always thought of you as my own sister, so I don't want to lose you."
"Unfortunately, I can't do it, and I have to go back to her anyway." Ye Xiaoling answered by shaking her head. "I am her, and she is me; therefore, her will is my will. However, I will merge with her after we find our sect members, whose condition and whereabouts are still unclear. Besides, we still have to find our sister, who disappeared during the war in the past, and finding her is more difficult than finding them, which may take a long time."
Leng Yueyan let out a heavy sigh and hugged Ye Xiaoling. "I know that I won't be able to change your decision, but I hope that you can consider our relationship over the years, and I also hope that we will be able to meet again after I ascend to the higher realms in the future."
"Before thinking about the higher realms, you should think about how to break through to the five god realms first." Ye Xiaoling then hugged Leng Yueyan back before continuing. "As I previously mentioned, Long Wang holds the key to your advancement to that stage, so you must be able to convince him to accept you. However, you should not consider giving him the position of male sect master, especially since it is too insignificant in his eyes, and his target is far away in the Five Divine Heavens."
"I know." Leng Yueyan nodded in understanding before releasing Ye Xiaoling, who immediately returned to the misty peak. She then took Yan Qingcheng to Huxin Huxin Xiaozhu to practice adapting to gravity inside the residence.

"Phew! This way, I have some free time for the next ten days, so I can help them out with their training and cultivation." Chen Li immediately opened his reward.
[You obtained Earth Grade Soul Bead - x1]

Chen Li smiled in satisfaction after reading the notification. "Back then, I also gave this bead to Song Tianyi, but it's back in my hands now. Moreover, this soul bead is similar to Hermit Long's soul-absorbing technique, but it won't make me addicted like his technique."
"I think Song Tianyi still has a lot of items, which have all been passed down to you through the system, so you just need to wait to get them." Xiao Shijian spoke as she appeared beside Chen Li. "Leng Yueyan seems to have a heart as hard as steel, and she has no intention of forgiving those people. Instead, she used them as a bad example to the disciples, and she intended to have them executed in a few days."
"Leng Yueyan has suffered too much, so it's natural for her to act like that." Suddenly, Chen Li remembered something. "She can't kill Gu Ya, or the people from the Dark Moon Sect will rush over to take revenge, so I want you to kill him later."
"I know." Xiao Shijian then asked him. "What about the Dark Moon Sect? What if I destroy them now?"
"No need." Chen Li answered with a shake of her head. "The situation in this realm is none of my business, so you don't need to do anything to them. However, you can kill every one of them who intends to harm my family."
Xiao Shijian was not too surprised by Chen Li's decision, especially after the betrayal a thousand years ago. "Back then, Emperor Long always thought about the safety and security of other people, but you become selfish and only focus on those closest to you."
"Haha." That made Chen Li laugh. "Emperor Long is my past, and my past thoughts have caused me so much suffering, so I will not repeat my past mistakes."
