hapter 60 Punishment

Zes pondered for a while looking at the small pond. His thoughts swirling around inside of his mind. Things were popping up in his mind and disappearing in the next moment. Finally he stood up and let out a sigh. Yup, a sigh, normally one would shake his head, frown or make an expression. But well, it was Zes and in fact it was already a huge progress for him to be able to sigh and make expression even if it was only in his mind.

Only few weeks ago he was unable to even think about having emotions. Whenever there was a funny situation, he only felt the need to quickly get away and his mind began spinning. He was only a step away from forcing himself into trauma and he had even feared to get close to anyone because of the possibility of a funny situation to arise.

He slowly walked out of the pavilion heading towards a 3 meter tall and 10 centimeters thick bamboo trunk. With an intent of him the air around it suddenly condensed formed a blade and cut down the bamboo. While it was falling down, the blade of air chopped a few more times and as it fell to the ground it was chopped into 6 parts cleanly cut apart. In Zes hand a small translucent gem like object glimmered in the light of the evening light. This gem was the core of the bamboo, the part which was making it as valuable as it is. The so called treasure core, the part which was having the effect that is so important to cultivators.

Without hesitation he took the core and directly gulped it down. Then he sat down cross-legged and started to control the core inside of it.

The next morning.

After the turbulent night with Maaran, Lilia had woken up early and quietly got out of the mansion they inhabited together. The reason for this was that she wanted to research things about Zes and did not want Maaran or one of the other girls in his harem to know about it. She exited the core sect and entered the inner sect passing the Chinese style houses and mansions on both sides. As she reached the main square of the sect where all the big families but also many normal multi story houses were located, she suddenly was stopped by a person shooting forward and jumping into her way.

This person was a female disciple with long blond hair and a slender face. She was wearing a purple uniform marking her as a core disciple.

Lilia frowned as she abruptly stopped midair.

"What are you doing?"

She spat at the other person.

"Now, now, why so unfriendly? I just wondered what one of that playboy Maaran’s bitches was doing out here. ARE you having an affair?

Oh, oh. What a scandal, one of Maaran’s playthings is getting out of control."

The woman's words were all directly hitting into Lilia's important areas. Rage slowly turned her expression angry.

"Sola, you wench. What do you want? Just tell the truth, you’re envious because Maaran dumped you and can't get over it. SO FUCKING GO OUT OF THE WAY. Or else I will just tell everyone here what you were doing in order to let Maaran notice you."

Sola's face turned red from anger. Tension arose between the two of them and the inner disciples hurried to make place for them. After all, these were still two soul liquid stage experts and on a completely different level compared to the inner disciples around them.

Nevertheless soon a ring of red clothed inner sect disciples had gathered around the two girls in the middle that were exchanging vicious glares.

Tension was in the air and the people around were holding their breaths. Lilia and Sola were both circulating their cultivation bases and prepared their attacks. Both had burning rage turning their eyes red and had the deep desire to rip apart the other’s face.

It became more and more tense. Just as Lilia was about to jump at Sola and rip her face into pieces a huge booms shook the earth and caused Lilia to fall over. Glances fell onto the direction the shaking was coming from. A person was slowly strolling out of the small house and shock was written onto the faces of the surrounding people as they understood just who had broken through.

Sola’s and Lilia's faces also showed astonishment. There was no one in the sect that did not recognised the person that was casually walking into their direction.

"Z-zes …"

Lilia looked at Zes unable to understand the situation. Yesterday she had been at his place and clearly saw that he was still late soul concentration stage but now it was clear that he had just broken through and reached their level. After all, she still heard Maaran’s words inside of her mind that were reminding her to never underestimate the person called Zes.

Sola was also surprised but she did not regarded Zes as her equal. After all, to her, what would change a strong comprehension in face of absolute power? She had been soul liquid stage for more than a year. How could a person that had just attained her stage be as powerful as her? No matter how high his comprehension is, he couldn’t be her equal. In fact she was even looking down on Zes. She herself was a descendant of a powerful family in the sect while Zes was just some guy that came into the sect from outside and had no faction really backing him.

The patriarch backing him was only adding to her disregard towards him.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough. But don't interfere or you will regret it. Just because you broke through don't think you’re someone big. You’re just some homeless dog so behave like one"

Sola's words were showing that she wasn't giving Zes any face. In fact it was an outright insult that she wouldn't dare to speak out normally. But Zes did not seem to care about it or rather there was nothing that was showing on his face. He just kept going towards them without saying a word. Sola became nervous as she saw that Zes wasn't even bothering to answer. After all he was still supported by quite a few people in the core sect and there was a big chance that he could become an elder in near future. Even she wouldn't be protected by her family if she wronged an elder.

Suddenly Zes body disappeared and reappeared directly before Sola making her shocked. There were not many that could get so close to her without her being able to react and no one of thus she knew was only soul liquid stage. She immediately tried to back away and create a bit distance between them. But Zes hand shoot forward and grabbed her wrist making her unable to get away.

Even as she struggled, she had no way of freeing her wrist. Her frown only grew heavier. How could a newly broken through expert be so much more powerful than her?

"Go back and I will forget about your tactless words."

An ice cold voice rang in her ears making them feel numb. Sweat gathered but she still refused to give in. After all, she was still a member of an important family and had quite some importance in the family. She was the one most likely to become the next head of the family and received quite some resources for cultivation and other needs. How could she, a favored child of heavens admit defeat to some no name guy that had just appeared out of nowhere?

"In your dreams…"

She coldly retorted.

Zes’s aura suddenly bursted out. If it was three years earlier, he wouldn't react this decisive and maybe let this matter slide. But after the treason of the Kun clan and his change in personality it did not matter what the grievance was about. As long as it wasn't payed he wouldn't rest. And so, as Sola did not want to give him the face he deserved he would also teach her a lesson she wouldn't forget quickly.

As his aura bursted out, Sola suddenly felt fear inside of her. She understood that Zes wouldn't do anything excessive to her. After all she was still an important figure in the sect but the pure amount of killing intent and coldness in his aura was enough to make her feel powerless.

"As you wish. If you will not give me face I will not give you face. If you humiliate me with your words I will return the humiliation hundred times over."

He let go of her wrist and took a step back. But even with him doing this, Sola wasn't able to even move a muscle. In fact her arms even moved at their own stretching over her head. Suddenly her body started floating and she flew to an altitude of about 10 meters making everyone on the palace able to see her. Surprised shouts were echoing as the inner disciples hadn't suspected such an ending in this affair.

Even Lilia that had already guessed that Zes wasn't as easy as he seemed beforehand was utterly surprised over this quick change of events.

In the next moment something that would shake the sect itself happened. The uniform on Sola’s body suddenly vanished giving away her alluring body. Like this Sola was kind of hanging in 10 meter height her arms over her head and all people on the square below could clearly see her naked body. There was no part hidden.

After this, formations started to appear around the naked Sola forming a sphere around her. A single formation also landed on her lower body making her face instantly flush.

"Hereby I have punished this woman for her discourtesy towards me and my friends. She will be hanging like this for 24 hour. After this time the formations will break and let her free. As for the formation on her body, it will remain on her body for another two weeks. In this time she will always be horny and every 5 minutes the formation will force her to climax.

I declare that if anyone dares to offend me again they will receive similar punishment. Also everyone is free to try to break the formations I will not stop anyone but I will warn you that they have some powerful defense mechanism and may even take your live."

As the cold voice stopped silence dominated the bustling square.
