Chapter 667: Overlord Fist (Revised Edition), Shang Yue and Sister's Torment Begins
Shang Hongchen cannot stay here, lest they be driven to death by this younger brother.
Even if this younger brother doesn't anger them, there are other people who do, such as Chen Chuyang; that mocking look makes Shang Hongchen very displeased.
Also the disdainful gaze of younger sister Shang Hongxue, as if Shang Hongchen were no longer a Strong One but felt like a fallen stray dog, forcibly sheltering themselves and bestowing charity upon themselves.
Indeed, that feeling—Shang Hongchen's pride is such that, even if life is hard, they could never let others see it, let alone know it.
This is who Shang Hongchen is.
Shang Hongchen bows and departs, unwilling to continue idle chatter, turns and returns to the master; they are about to leave.
After leaving, when their strength rises enough to crush them, Shang Hongchen will return.
This humiliation, they have memorized, and it must not… be left unfinished.
"Master, the disciple is incompetent, unable to take you away, please forgive, Master."
Tianlian Zhenren looks at the disciple before them, smiles gently: "No trouble, the teacher is fine here, with food and drink, and can contemplate the mind; you need not worry."
"Hongchen, actually you can stay here; this place truly suits your cultivation. If you go back, those people will not treat you well; indeed, they may target you, or even imprison you, torture you."
"After all, you are their pawn threatening Chen Chuyang; you must think carefully."
No one knows those people better than Tianlian Zhenren; as for their own people, whatever, they will treat their own kindly.
If they are enemies, sorry, you will die a terrible death; even if you are Tianlian Zhenren's disciple, it will be the same.
The faction's ostracism, from top to bottom, will all ostracize them; at that time, Heavenly Heart Sect will have no place for them to stand.
Rather than return to Heavenly Heart Sect, better stay here; though it's a bit awkward, at least Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue will not torment them, nor abuse them; indeed, they will even help them advance cultivation, help them condense a pill.
After all, these people are their own family; no matter what, they will not do anything to them.
"Master, the disciple cannot stay here."
Shang Hongchen still resolutely leaves; this place is not where they should stay.
Tianlian Zhenren looks at the stubborn disciple, shakes head: "You, still the same; this time, heed the teacher's advice."
Extending a hand, grasping the disciple's hand, Tianlian Zhenren earnestly says: "Heavenly Heart Sect is no longer the Heavenly Heart Sect of old; the current Heavenly Heart Sect is fraught with danger, facing very strong enemies; the whole world is hostile, and after you return, you will ultimately become cannon fodder of Heavenly Heart Sect."
"With your strength, lacking self‑preservation, you would only be going to your death."
"You should… stay, listen to the teacher's words."
Shang Hongchen grits their teeth; they have never not known.
Yet they cannot stay.
The inner barrier cannot be crossed.
"Master, the disciple is leaving."
Bow, bend, bid farewell.
Shang Hongchen's mind is set; no one can change it.
Tianlian Zhenren watches the departing disciple; Shang Hongchen has gone down the mountain.
Chen Chuyang and the others make no move, as if truly letting her go down the mountain, Tianlian Zhenren cannot help but become anxious.
Shang Hongxue becomes anxious: "Brother Chuyang, are you really going to let big sister leave?"
"Tianlian Zhenren is right, Heavenly Heart Sect is very dangerous; after big sister goes down the mountain, she will probably die."
Shang Yue also cannot help but speak: "Brother‑in‑law, you cannot let big sister leave; with her temperament, it's truly dangerous."
They are all Shang Hongchen's family, naturally know her temper.
This big sister, once a decision is made, cannot be altered; no one can help.
They worry big sister will die outside, after all this Heavenly Heart Sect is not the old one, danger may arise at any time.
Chen Chuyang presses his hand: "No rush, she cannot leave."
The Formation has been continuously active; Shang Hongchen cannot go down the mountain.
Since she wants to leave, let her reflect within the Formation.
Forcibly keeping her is not a solution.
Those Formations can let her calm down.
Shang Hongxue sees big sister enter those Formations, blinks, a mischievous grin spreads as she looks at Chen Chuyang.
"Brother Chuyang, you are so wicked, making big sister test those Formations."
"Hahaha."
Chen Chuyang laughs loudly: "It's not that the Formation upgraded; no one has tested its strength, and big sister happens to be just right."
From a side perspective, Chen Chuyang is taking revenge.
Yes, indeed, making Shang Hongchen embarrassed; since this person values face and dignity so much, let them lose it all.
That way, she will have nothing to fear.
Shang Yue turns back, raises a thumb: "Still, brother‑in‑law, you are impressive."
Those Formations are terrifying; Shang Yue knows best that this is plainly letting big sister suffer.
Once inside, there are only a few days before she cannot get out.
The future misery of big sister, he can imagine.
He silently thinks: "From now on, offending anyone, must not offend brother‑in‑law, a smiling tiger."
Brother‑in‑law smiles, life and death unpredictable.
Shang Yue puts Chen Chuyang among the most dangerous people, the ones not to offend; offending anyone must not offend brother‑in‑law; brother‑in‑law says he won't revenge, but his body is honest, revenge comes without any sign, silently trapping you.
"Ahaha, this is big sister herself insisting to go, not me making her go."
"……"
"……"
Shang Yue and Shang Hongxue exchange a glance, collectively fall silent.
Tianlian Zhenren looked at the Formation at the foot of the mountain; though her cultivation was sealed, she could still see the Formation's changes and could sense Shang Hongchen's ordeal, the wailing began to echo.
Only a short time later, Shang Hongchen had already encountered danger.
The wailing sounded one after another, truly pleasant to the ear.
One day passed silently.
Shang Hongchen's wailing became a sight on Longshe Shan, and Shang Yue did not descend the mountain but stayed atop to cultivate.
Having come this far, how could one leave so easily?
Chen Chuyang let him stay to cultivate; his cultivation was too poor, and could not satisfy Chen Chuyang.
Thus, intensified training began, and Shang Yue's miserable life started.
The schedule was full: be beaten, be beaten, do work, be beaten, be beaten, refine, then be thrown into the Formation to enjoy.
If one wishes to live well, one must learn to take beatings.
It is called, under a beautiful name, the training of Shang Yue's vitality and will; the more tenacious they are, the harder it is to die.
"As a body cultivator, one must have strong vitality and a tenacious will, and you possess neither."
"Shang Yue, you are too weak."
Shang Yue lay on the ground, her whole body was under the Protector, that oppressive pressure, the great Protector.
Her body and spirit were both under the Protector; this is a pressure test.
"When you can adapt to this oppressive pressure, then you will have the right to call yourself a body cultivator."
"I have revised the 'Overlord Fist' for you; practice according to the latest version."
Shang Yue lay on the ground, his face flushed red, trying countless times to get up, but could not rise.
In his mind, a new 'Overlord Fist' appeared, distinct from the original 'Overlord Fist.'
"Th‑… thank you, brother‑in‑law."
