Chapter 23: The Heavenly Punishment Turns the Wheel

  As an orphan, Zhao Zhuo had integrated his identity and now completely regarded Su Xiu as his own biological parents. These days of interaction made him feel the rare maternal love, so for Su Xiu, even if it meant losing his own life, Zhao Zhuo wouldn't frown.

  Zhao Feng stood up and said: "Alright, I'll go into town with Second Brother!"

  Zhao Luan also called out to return to Wang Hai City, but was stopped by Zhao Suo. Looking at Zhao Feng and Zhao Luan, Zhao Suo said: "Big brother, little sister, this city can only be returned by second brother. If second brother goes and doesn't come back, you must not return to the city again. You both stay here and focus on cultivating diligently. Wait until you become strong enough to avenge me and mother."

  "No... Second Brother, you have obtained the Heavenly Star Chart inheritance and opened up your Heavenly Spirit Aperture. In the future, your achievements will definitely surpass Big Brother's by far. It should be Big Brother who goes instead."

  Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard Zhao Zhuo's words that seemed to imply a final farewell.

  "Shut up, all of you! Don't say anything else! Remember my words, Xiao Lian. Big Brother's temper is impulsive, so in the future, you must keep an eye on him. Don't cry, I'm not leaving forever!"

  Zhao Luan wiped away the tears on his face, stubbornly biting his lips tightly, unknowingly causing them to bleed, with fresh blood seeping out. His eyes were filled with tears, but he controlled himself and didn't let a single drop fall.

  Zhao Duo took out the Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Tower, and with a movement of his heart, all sorts of strange treasures and rare artifacts he had obtained earlier, as well as the corpse of the Jiao Long, were released. He said: "I'll keep these things here, remember to take out the Jiao Long's Heart-Head Essence Blood and use the Deep Sea Xuanmo Lingcao to concoct the Inverse Heaven Washing Body Spirit Dan and the Ji Xin Washing Marrow!"

  Zhao Luan nodded heavily, gazing deeply at Zhao Luan and Zhao Feng for a moment. With a sudden pang in his eyes, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave, and as he did, a single tear fell with the wind.

  Staring intently at Zhao Zhuo's figure, when Zhao Zhuo's figure vanished from sight, Zhao Luan could no longer hold back the tears that had been welling up in her eyes and they fell uncontrollably.

  Zhao Feng's fist heavily smashed against the wall of the cave, fresh blood seeping out, yet he seemed to be completely unaware.

  "Second brother, you must come back safely!"

  "Second brother, someday in the future, big brother won't let you bear all the risks alone, we are brothers connected by flesh and blood!"

  A figure emerged from the water, the night sky was deep and dark, a few stars twinkled on the horizon with difficulty, as if they could be swallowed by the dark clouds at any time.

  Crack!

  A flash of lightning tore through the void, bringing momentary light.

  Standing on the high rock, the sea is windy and wavy, with waves dozens of feet high, surging over and pounding against the shore, with a momentum like a mountain, as if there were a mountain in front that could be destroyed.

  Large raindrops fell on Zhao Zhuo's body, looking at the roaring giant waves and the lightning that seemed to split the sky and earth, Zhao Zhuo suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a long howl.

  From the news brought back by Zhao Feng, Zhao Zhuo knew that at this moment, Wang Hai City was undoubtedly the most dangerous place for him. Just looking at the flying arrow of the fully refined treasure instrument, Zhao Zhuo knew that Su Xiu's cultivation was at least in the solid god rank. Such a strong existence in Wang Hai City could be considered powerful, but even so, Su Xiu did not leave with Zhao Feng together. It was clear that Su Xiu didn't want to leave with Zhao Feng, but she had been hiding her identity for a long time and must have been avoiding something. The existence that made her worry must be very strong, and she could only sacrifice herself to ensure the safety of her three siblings.

  After the huge wave passed, Zhao Zhuo's eyes sparkled with a sharp light as he gazed at the dark and gloomy night sky without a single ray of light: "Mother, mother and son are connected by heart, and my birth mother is still in danger. How can I, as her child, ignore this? What difference would that be from pigs and dogs?"

  Looking at the majestic and ominous Wanghai Castle, Zhao Zhuo suddenly burst into a hearty laughter: "Mother, I'm here! Wanghai Castle, I, Zhao Zhuo, have arrived!"

  In the city of Wanghai, there is a place that exists like a forbidden area, the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel. It is said that the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel was the personal treasure of a Dao Master from ancient times. After the Dao Master fell, the treasure also fell to the mainland and took root in Wanghai City, entwining with the spiritual veins of the land for thousands of miles, and Wanghai City was built around this Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel.

  Legend has it that the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, has already become sentient and has been waiting for its destined owner for billions of years. Over time, the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel became an existence like a prison in Wanhai City, where anyone who was locked inside could only be released if the wheel automatically opened or if the three major families' turning masters joined forces to open it; otherwise, even if a Daoist master came, they would not be able to rescue someone from within.

  In a secluded courtyard deep within the Su family's large mansion, Su Chuanzong looked at Su Xiudao with a bitter expression: "You silly girl, why are you so foolish, why won't you leave?"

  "Xiu'er won't show up, that's all. But once she appears, it's equivalent to putting the three major families of Wanghai City on fire. Those dozens of families aren't fools, how could they not understand that these twenty years have been spent indulging me? If I don't appear, I can still cover it up, and no one will tear off their face. But now it's different. If I escape, those families will definitely storm into Wanghai City with great momentum, even wanting to eradicate our three major families to seize the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel. Perhaps at this moment they are eager for me to escape!"

  Su Chuanzong heard the words and couldn't help but flash a sharp light in his eyes, coldly laughing: "Hmph, wanting to seize the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel is simply a wild fantasy. For billions of years, the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel has taken in countless arrogant ones, even strong practitioners at the Dao Respected level are not below several tens. My three families are the Turning Wheel families chosen by the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel, who would dare to think they can destroy us?"

  Su Xiu sighed and said, "Although that's the case, the Wheel of Heaven forbids interference in worldly disputes. This is also a rule set by the Heavenly Punishment Wheel. If those families come with reason, then even you can't interfere. At that time, I'm afraid Su'er will become the eternal sinner of the three major families."

  Su Chuanzong's tall figure suddenly seemed to shrink, and he let out a long sigh: "Now that I think about it, the dozens of families who went to Death Island back then were probably also part of their plot."

  Su Xiu sneered, "Back then, when I was still in the organization, I couldn't see through the intentions of this person who set up the trap. But these twenty years of hiding have allowed me to understand many things that were unclear back then."

  Su Chuanzong's eyes flashed with wisdom as he said, "Tell me, what have you seen through all these years?"

  Su Xiu's eyes sparkled with insight as she said, "Xiu'er's appearance may indeed be stunning enough to captivate the city and the country, but there are many others within a radius of thousands of miles who possess beauty that is no less than hers. So why would Xiu'er be crowned the number one beauty, while those young elites from dozens of families seem to have overreacted? It seems that Xiu'er doesn't possess that kind of mesmerizing charm that can turn people upside down. Gu Yong, Gu Dage, Xiao Chaozu, Xiao Erge - these loose cultivators still have their wits about them, let alone those family elites who have been trained from a young age and are accustomed to seeing beautiful women. How could they possibly forget their family interests and slaughter each other?"
