Zhu Dongyu arrived at the villa and saw Yang Yinhou sitting cross-legged on the grass of the villa courtyard, with the villa's door behind him firmly closed. Zhu Dongyu then knew Ge Dongxu was still recuperating.
Zhu Dongyu carefully approached Yang Yinhou and whispered, "Uncle Yang, why don't you go have your al first? I can keep watch here."
"No need, you go ahead. Although I haven't reached the realm where I can live without food, going without it for a few days is not a problem," Yang Yinhou whispered back.
Zhu Dongyu didn't dare to insist and silently withdrew.
...
By the lakeside, in the living room of the villa where Su Jieliang was.
An elderly man in a Daoist robe stood in front of a long sofa, looking down at Su Jieliang, who lay motionless and pale-faced on the sofa, his expression as cold as ice.
The old man had a gaunt face and eyes sharp as swords, with half-white hair and beard. Despite appearing quite aged, he stood in the living room with the presence of an unsheathed sword, displaying a chilling sharpness that could make anyone's heart skip a beat and fill them with dread.
"Grandfather, you must stand up for ! That boy was too arrogant. He said that if anyone tried to move , the punishnt would be doubled. Now, I haven't moved at all since yesterday afternoon, and it's already been over a full day and night. If the punishnt is doubled again, how much more must I suffer?" Seeing the cold look on his grandfather's face and the terrifying evil Qi radiating from his body, Su Jieliang was surprised that his grandfather couldn't undo the prohibitions on him but he was more schadenfreude and delighted.
Because he could see that his grandfather, who had not been involved in worldly matters for many years and had always been indifferent to fa and fortune, was now enraged with embarrassnt.
The old man was indeed the Grand Elder of the Santai Sect, Su Bojian.
He had left his ditative retreat only at dusk, and upon hearing of his grandson's plight, he imdiately rushed down the mountain.
At first glance at the prohibitions within his grandson's body, he was taken aback, but he didn't truly take it to heart.
Because his cultivation had reached the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation. In this era of declining Daoist arts, that was already considered quite formidable, and what's more, he was a descendant of a line of Sword Immortals.
A single sword strike could shatter all other techniques!
The prohibitions were complex, but he intended to shatter them with one strike.
Su Bojian indeed was much more powerful than his son Su Boli.
With a single strike, he instantly cut through thousands of "green grass," directly unblocking Su Jieliang's Hand Taiyin Lung ridian completely, leaving not a single blade of grass.
Seeing this, Su Bojian felt an imnse sense of pride, as if with a sword in hand, he could cut through everything. He quickly prepared to channel the energy of Geng tal into another sword strike, aiming to clear another of Su Jieliang's ridians.
However, before Su Bojian could make his move, Su Jieliang had already begun to scream in agony, his face turning even paler in an instant.
One could see that the previously cleared Hand Taiyin Lung ridian, empty and devoid of grass, suddenly sprouted green blades of grass anew, as if erging from the earth after rain. Not only did they re-block the Lung ridian, but the energy needed for the growth of every single blade of grass was drawn from Su Jieliang himself.
With every blade of green grass that broke through the soil and every inch that it grew, Su Jieliang felt the True Qi within his body slip away bit by bit, leaving him increasingly weak.
As a prestigious elder of the Santai Sect and at the Qi Refinent Fifth Layer, Su Bojian wasn't just prominent in the Qi n circle of Dongyue Province but also a notable figure nationwide. Now, having failed to break the Prohibitions with a single strike, and instead causing his grandson to suffer, it was easy to imagine how infuriated Su Bojian must have been.
Following closely, Su Jieliang added insult to injury by repeating the story, naturally stoking Su Bojian's anger even further.
"So young and yet so arrogant, thinking you have so talent! Do you really think the Santai Sect has no one else? Do you really think you can run wild within the Santai Sect just because you have so abilities?" Su Bojian said coldly, as a surge of Evil Qi emanated from him, seemingly causing the temperature in the living room to drop.
"Exactly! This brat dared to attack in the Santai Sect and even placed Prohibitions on . That's a blatant provocation against our Sect! We can't let him off easily," Su Jieliang said bitterly.
Su Bojian had always been fond of this grandson, rembering his immobility since yesterday afternoon and how he had beco even weaker due to his own recklessness, his complexion pale. Su Bojian's heart ached and he blad himself, so he didn't find Su Jieliang's words inappropriate in any way.
"Call Boli and tell him to bring over that young man, Ge Dongxu. If Lv Xinghai and Zhu Dongyu have any objections, let them co to see !" Su Bojian commanded coldly to soone next to him.
"Yes, Master!" The person accompanying Su Bojian down the mountain was one of the Santai Sect elders and also his disciple.
After receiving the order, the elder imdiately dialed Su Boli's number.
Just as the elder was making the call to Su Boli, the latter had just finished a al, and everyone was laughing and leaving the restaurant. They were preparing to take a stroll around the lake when Su Boli and Yan Ziyi were about to hurry ho to check on Su Jieliang and Yan Chengzhi's conditions.
Upon receiving the call and hearing that even his father had been unable to resolve the Prohibitions, Su Boli's face turned grim. After a few words, he hung up the phone and then said to a Santai Sect elder with him, "Fifth elder brother, find out which room a young man nad Ge Dongxu is staying in?"
As Sect Leader, Su Boli's main task was to preside over the assembly. He did not take charge of the specific arrangents for the staff's als and accommodations.
Previously, fearing that the incident involving Su Jieliang would beco widely known and cause him to lose face, he also did not ntion to the Santai Sect elder in charge of the assembly's specific matters. He had thought to wait until after his father ca down the mountain and removed Su Jieliang's Prohibitions before discussing it. Thus, he had not even asked about Ge Dongxu's specific situation until now.
Now that the Prohibitions couldn't be lifted, regardless of his father's orders, he had to go find Ge Dongxu and settle the matter.
"Ge Dongxu?" Xu Xingran frowned slightly upon hearing this, and then he seed to rember sothing, saying, "I have so impression of this person; he seems to be soone arranged by Director Yang. He's from the Special Ability Managent Bureau, and this ti he's arranged to stay in the four lakeside villas from numbers 15 to 18."
"He's from the Special Ability Managent Bureau!" Su Boli frowned.
But recalling that his son had been immobilized for a day and a night, Su Boli's eyes quickly revealed a ruthless glint. "Fifth elder brother, call so people to go with and Elder Yan," he said.
With the influence of the Santai Sect, it was impossible to directly oppose the Special Ability Managent Bureau, but not just anyone from the Bureau could bully them. Even Fan Hong, the director, would have to show respect to his father and be polite.
Xu Xingran understood Su Boli very well, and seeing the ruthlessness in his eyes, he couldn't help but be taken aback. He hurriedly made a call to gather so people, then asked in a low voice, "Elder brother, what happened?"
"Jieliang and Elder Yan's grandson have been inflicted with Prohibitions by a young man nad Ge Dongxu, and both my father and I are unable to lift them," Su Boli said in a lowered voice, his tone full of hatred; however, he did not make a scene.
Because such a matter was highly embarrassing and a loss of face for the Santai Sect!
