Chapter 383: Divine Punishment!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Big sister, we are here!”

Just as everyone was immersed in the strong pressure brought by Tushan Cangyue, Tushan Ruoruo’s innocent voice suddenly sounded from afar.

On the Boat of Paramita, Tushan Cangyue’s emotionless eyes instantly swept over. When she saw Tushan Ruoruo tied up by the Dragon-binding Rope, her eyes turned slightly cold.

Whoosh.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the Sword of War immediately fell into her hand.

Following this, a beam of divine light descended and cut the Dragon-binding Rope, allowing Tushan Ruoruo, Xie Wuyou, and Shang Yang to regain their freedom.

Thump!

After regaining his freedom, Shang Yang naturally heaved a sigh of relief.

In contrast, Xie Wuyou did not dare to be negligent. He immediately arrived in front of Tushan Cangyue at his fastest speed.

Then, he knelt heavily.

“Greetings, High Priest!”

He kowtowed in fear, and his voice and body were trembling slightly.

“Xie Wuyou, who allowed you to bring the Goddess out of the divine region to search for treasures?”

Her indifferent voice sounded from Boat of Paramita.

Hearing this, Xie Wuyou’s body trembled violently.

“Everything was my decision. I shouldn’t have taken the Goddess out of the divine region without permission. Please punish me, High Priest.”

After saying that, his entire body was prostrated on the ground as he trembled, showing the nervousness and fear in his heart.

Seeing this, Shang Yang and Yan Qingshan’s expressions changed. They didn’t expect that Xie Wuyou would respect Tushan Cangyue so much.

“Big Sister, you can’t blame Uncle Xie. 1 was the one who wanted him to leave the divine region with me and go out to search for treasures. Please don’t blame him, okay? Moreover, under Uncle Xie’s guidance, we managed to find a top-notch Lesser God-level herb. Can we make up for our mistakes with this?”

Tushan Ruoruo suddenly came before Tushan Cangyue. In her small hands, she held the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb and showed it to Tushan Cangyue as if she was presenting a treasure.

Seeing this, Tushan Cangyue snorted.

“I’ve said it before, as temple clergies, merits are merits and faults are faults. Merits and faults cannot be offset. Meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and faults will be punished. Xie Wuyou, you brought the Goddess out of the divine region without permission and ended up in a life-and-death situation. As punishment, I’ll cut off 1,000 years of your lifespan.”

Her cold voice slowly sounded.

What? Cut off 1,000 years of lifespan?

Hearing this, Shang Yang, Han Qingshan, Tushan Ji, and the others who were watching all gasped. All of them revealed an intense look of shock.

“Isn’t cutting off 1,000 years of lifespan too ruthless? He only brought the Goddess out of the divine region without permission. Is there a need for such a heavy punishment? The Great Green Mountain’s Tushan family is too terrifying.”

Shang Yang was extremely shocked. He now had a deeper understanding of Tushan Cangyue, the High Priest.

That was 1,000 years of lifespan. How could it be casually cut off?

To Shang Yang, this was simply unimaginable.

Yan Qingshan, Tushan Ji, Tushan Yu, and the other onlookers were also shocked.

This punishment was too severe!

However, no matter what they thought, Xie Wuyou didn’t dare to disobey Tushan Cangyue’s punishment.

“I am willing to receive the divine punishment.”

He bowed bitterly.

Whoosh!

Tushan Cangyue, who was on the Boat of Paramita, waved her scepter slightly.

In an instant, a mysterious divine sword appeared in mid-air and landed on Jie Wuyou, cutting off 1,000 years of his lifespan.

As the spokesperson of God, Lin Wudao had granted her the authority to rule the people of the divine region. Her orders were the will of God.

“Big sister, since you said that merits and demerits cannot be offset, does that mean that there will be a reward as Uncle Xie has accepted the punishment? After all, he found a top-notch Lesser God-level herb this time. The Nine Revolutions Revival Herb is hard to come by even in ten thousand years. If we offer it to the Great God, 1 believe the Great God will definitely like it. This is a great merit. Isn’t there a reward?”

At this moment, Tushan Ruoruo pouted and said.

Hearing this, Tushan Cangyue glanced at that Nine Revolutions Revival Herb and nodded.

“Of course. Xie Wuyou, as the Dragon Seeking Emissary of the Temple, although you put the Goddess in danger this time, finding the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb can be considered a great merit. When we return to the temple, I will report to the Great God and raise your cultivation to the perfection stage of the Divine Wheel realm.”

Her dignified and indifferent voice came from the Boat of Paramita.

Upon hearing this, the depression and bitterness in Xie Wuyou’s heart instantly dissipated.

“Thank you, High Priest!” He bowed respectfully.

Previously, he had been given 3,000 years of lifespan by Lin Wudao because he had offered a divine herb.

Now, although he had lost 1,000 years of his lifespan because of the divine punishment, his cultivation would increase greatly. This gave his injured heart some comfort.

“Tushan Ruoruo. As the Goddess of Great Green Mountain, you left the divine region without permission and caused the Dragon Seeking Emissary to suffer. From today onwards, you are not allowed to take half a step out of the divine region for a year.”

What?

Hearing that, Tushan Ruoruo’s delicate face was filled with displeasure. However, even though she was depressed, she did not dare to disobey.

Whoosh!

Tushan Cangyue didn’t pay much attention to their thoughts and reactions. After punishing them, her cold eyes fell on Shang Yang, Tushan Ji, and the others.

“High Priest, that man is Shang Yang, the Ninth Young Master of the Zhurong Family. Next to him is his guardian, Yan Qingshan, from the Yan ancient race. In that bronze palace, that old man in linen clothes is the elder of the Southern Ridge’s Tushan family of the eastern region, Tushan Ji. The one standing behind him is Tushan Yu, the Seventh Young Master of the Southern Ridge’s Tushan family. Before this, Tushan Yu wanted the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb, which was why he ordered for the Goddess and the others to be killed.”

While Tushan Cangyue was looking at those people, Wu Huan bowed and introduced the latter to her. Through the observation of the Eye of Divine Soul, he had already read the memories of everyone present. Therefore, he knew everyone’s identity, background, and what they had done.

Southern Ridge’s Tushan family?

Hearing this name, a light flashed across Tushan Cangyue’s eyes.

Previously, she had heard from the Qingshan Great God and Elder Tushan Ming that other than the Tushan family on Great Green Mountain, there were other branches of the Tushan family in other places.

She hadn’t expected them to meet so quickly. Moreover, they were even fighting against each other now.

“Southern Ridge’s Tushan family, are you trying to bully the Great Green Mountain’s Tushan family? To think you even wanted to snatch a child’s thing. Just now, if this young man from the Zhurong family didn’t make a move, I’m afraid that the Goddess of Great Green Mountain and the Dragon Seeker Emissary would have been killed. Tushan Ji, as the elder of the Southern Ridge’s Tushan family, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”

Her indifferent voice slowly sounded.

Hearing this, Tushan Yu, who was standing in the bronze palace, was terrified. He looked at Tushan Ji, pleading for help.

Tushan Ji frowned.

“High Priest, i think it was just a misunderstanding. The Great Green Mountain’s Tushan family and the Southern Ridge’s Tushan family come from the same origin. Why don’t we stop and make peace on account of our bloodline? We, the Southern Ridge’s Tushan family, are willing to compensate you for our reckless actions. What do you think, High Priest?” Tushan Ji said in a deep voice.

He stared at Tushan Cangyue.

Hearing his words, Tushan Cangyue pondered for a while, then nodded.

“Very well. Since you want to compensate, I’ll give you a chance.”

“High Priest, please speak.”

“What I want is for you to kill Tushan Yu yourself, and then give us ten top-notch Lesser God-level herbs. With this, you can show your sincerity.”

What? Kill Tushan Yu? He even had to offer ten top-notch Lesser God-level herbs?

Hearing this, not only were Shang Yang and the others shocked, but even Tushan Ji’s face turned gloomy.

“High Priest, you’re asking for too much. Please forgive me, but I can’t agree,” Tushan Ji said coldly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Tushan Yu’s shrill scream came from behind him..
