Chapter 4744: Settling Scores Later (1)

"The reason you've reached your current heights is precisely because you can face any difficulty and hardship, isn't it?"

"Strict teachers produce outstanding students!"

Xuanhuang was silent for a moment, then in the next second, she kicked the Heavenly Dao away.

Damn it, that logic is sound, but such grand talk is fine when directed at other people's children. However, seeing her own child suffer, she couldn't bear it...

The Heavenly Dao watched her turn towards the Sacrificial Sea Abyss and couldn't help but sigh wistfully.

Getting up, it brushed off the non-existent dust on its body, a faint sadness on its face: As long as Xuanhuang doesn't recklessly smash the Sacrificial Sea Abyss and destroy any part of this domain's space. Then no matter what she does, I can just turn a blind eye and it'll be fine.

The Heavenly Dao completely ignored Xuanhuang.

It then turned, putting on a grim face, glaring angrily at the thirteen Saint Realm elders who were cowering like quails.

Meanwhile, Little Commander and his group could finally catch their breath.

Everyone was more or less injured.

Skinny Monk's injuries were the most alarming, with a sword wound on his back deep enough to expose bone.

Fairy Peony pursed her lips, her pretty face cold, as she applied ointment to Skinny Monk's wounds. Her icy gaze occasionally swept over the thirteen taciturn elders.

"Do you know your crime?" The Heavenly Dao completely shed its cute, cowardly demeanor from when it was with Xuanhuang. It now put on a serious, stern face and questioned in a cold voice.

"Who permitted you to act without authorization and secretly come to the Forgetful River Domain? So many of you Super Divine Realm cultivators came; did you even greet this old one?"

One of the Forgetful River elders, emboldened, said, "We, we didn't come without authorization. We, we were summoned."

"Yes, yes, just like a divine descent talisman... We, we followed the laws of the Heavenly Dao, we, we..."

"Heh!" The Heavenly Dao scoffed coldly. With a raise of its hand, a purple-crimson bolt of lightning transformed into a whip, tightly coiling around the neck of that Super Divine Realm elder.

Little Commander and the others were startled, all looking up towards the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, their hearts were also a bit unsettled. Unfortunately, they too were Super Divine Realm cultivators, and even more unfortunately, they were a group of Super Divine Realm cultivators who had escaped from the Punishment Tower...

If Super Divine Realm cultivators weren't allowed to roam this continent, strictly speaking, they should have ascended to the Saint Realm long ago.

"You still dare to argue with this old one!" The Heavenly Dao stood with one hand on its hip like a teapot, glaring at the thirteen Saint Realm elders, scolding them angrily for being such a disappointment, "Your arrival has already caused instability in the Forgetful River Domain. This is a complete violation of the Heavenly Dao's rules!"

"The secret technique you used is fundamentally a sinister summoning trick passed down by the Forgetful River Long family to call upon their ancestors. It cannot be considered a legitimate divine descent talisman at all!"

"A divine descent talisman can only summon one Saint Realm cultivator at a time, but you? You came in a group! Who the hell can stand you doing something like this?"

With so many Super Divine Realm cultivators, it's impossible for this old one to turn a blind eye!

The elder, whose neck was entangled by the lightning whip, desperately tried to pull the whip away from his neck, his face filled with terror, but he couldn't budge it at all.

"Venerable, Venerable One," the elder stammered, "We know we were wrong now. Please, please release, release me. I, I swear, for the rest of my life, I will never meddle in the affairs of the junior generation of Forgetful River again, and I will never set foot in Forgetful River again."

"Too late!"
