"You want me to apologize to that wild girl? *Pah!* She should be apologizing to my sister."
Su Jinyi showed no fear of Shen Zhao's threat, turning his venomous gaze directly at Su Yunying.
"I'll give you three breaths. Apologize to my sister immediately, or else..."
Before he could finish, Su Yunying retorted, "Or else what? Are you going to hit me?"
Su Jinyi clenched his fists. "How can you be so unashamed after injuring my sister so badly? You're just a venomous, jealous creature. Even if I beat you to death today, you'll have brought it upon yourself. Su Yunying, you'd best be smart and come kneel before my sister and kowtow an apology."
Su Yunying sneered. "The Su Family's eyes must be truly defective. She tried to ambush me just now—didn't you all see it?"
"You're fine, but my sister is severely injured. It's all your fault," Su Jinyi declared haughtily.
Su Yunying was so angry she laughed. She had finally witnessed the true face of the Su Clan brothers.
Even Shi Guanyin, standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer. She pointed at Su Jinyi's nose and cursed, "Are you fucking insane?"
"So, your little sister got pinned and rubbed into the ground, couldn't handle the loss, and started playing dirty with a sneak attack, only to get counter-killed? And you feel no guilt whatsoever? Now I know what kind of shameless bastards exist. How disgusting."
Su Jinyi completely ignored Shi Guanyin's threat and continued to address Su Yunying: "Su Yunying, I'm giving you one last chance. Kneel and apologize to my little sister immediately, then forfeit your advancement spot. Otherwise, don't blame me for showing you no mercy..."
"I declare!"
Suddenly, Shen Zhao roared, cutting off Su Jinyi mid-sentence.
"Su Jinyi and Su Jinyun have openly disrupted the competition's order, gravely violating the Southern Domain Grand Tournament's rules, and publicly threatened a competitor. Such actions are an insult to everyone present at the tournament. Therefore, after unanimous deliberation by the Public Trial Panel, we have decided to immediately disqualify both of them from the tournament. All their previous results are nullified, and their opponents will advance directly to the top 32."
Su Jinyi and Su Jinyun froze in place.
The Public Trial Panel erupted in murmurs, their discussions revolving around a single topic:
*Unanimous deliberation? When the hell did we deliberate with you?*
"This is personal revenge! I protest!"
"Yeah! I protest!"
Su Jinyi and Su Jinyun refused to remain passive. If disqualified today, they would inevitably become the laughingstock of the Southern Region.
Yin Jiao'e was equally anxious, never imagining the situation would spiral so out of control.
Shen Zhao sneered, his eyebrows knitted in cold disdain. "You can grumble all you want, but you'll have to swallow it. As a member of the Public Trial Panel, my word is law. If I say you're unqualified, you're unqualified. Moreover, the actions of you three siblings have been witnessed by countless eyes. Such blatant distortion of the truth and reliance on underhanded tactics is a disgrace to the entire Immortal Martial Continent. To *not* disqualify you would be the greatest injustice to this continent."
Shen Zhao's impassioned speech immediately won the approval of the audience.
The panic on the Su Clan brothers' faces flickered briefly, but they maintained their defiant stance.
"I don't accept this! In cultivation, strength has always been the ultimate measure. What right do you have to disqualify me? You're just working with that bitch Su Yunying, jealous that we care about Su Xuejiao!"
"Exactly! You're just jealous! Everyone knows you're Su Yunying's dirty lover, clinging to some unknown means to secure your position on the Public Trial Panel and protect her!"
"Means? You want to see my means? Are you sure? If you can't handle losing, what the hell are you even playing at!"
Shen Zhao smiled faintly, ready to teach these two insolent brutes a memorable lesson.
But Liang Hao, standing nearby, couldn't resist stepping forward. "You? You think you're worthy of fighting my brother? It seems the lesson you learned in Orange Prefecture City wasn't enough. Today, I'll teach you how to behave properly."
At the sight of Liang Hao, the Su Clan brothers' imposing aura instantly crumbled.
"What? Already scared? Where's that earlier bravado? Show it! Don't be a coward—come at me together!"
Su Jinyun gritted his teeth and threw caution to the wind, turning to Su Yunying with venom. "Su Yunying, this is all your fault! I know you hate the Su Family for abandoning you all those years ago, but I hate you too! You've made Mother grieve for years. I wish you'd died out there! From the moment you returned, I've wished you were dead—that way, there'd be no one to compete with Little Sister for favor. Let me tell you, you'll never be accepted by the Su Family. You'll never hear us call you 'sister' because you don't deserve it. Even now that you're back, I'll find a way to kill you."
Su Yunying's face darkened, and the entire scene fell silent.
Such venomous words shocked everyone present.
*This was her own family, her own sister. How could these two brothers be so venomous as to want her dead?*
*What kind of hatred could run so deep?*
*And if I understand correctly, it wasn't the Su Family who lost the child?*
*Now, the fault lies with the abandoned child?*
"Heh..." Su Yunying merely sneered.
Su Jinyi continued, "So, my sister is Su Xuejiao alone. No matter what she does to you, even if she takes your life, I won't bat an eye. If you want to live, kowtow immediately, admit your mistakes, and relinquish your advancement spot. Otherwise, when we strike, you won't even get a chance to beg for mercy."
Before Su Jinyi could finish, Su Yunying turned to the Public Trial Panel and declared, "Panel, I challenge Su Jinyun and Su Jinyi to a duel."
"Granted!" Shen Zhao immediately agreed.
"If you want a resolution, you must be decisive. Girl, don't hesitate to be ruthless when necessary. Just charge straight ahead! Especially when dealing with these arrogant ants who don't know their place—show them no mercy."
"Right." Su Yunying nodded firmly, then swept her long spear forward to face the two brothers.
"Come at me together."
She planted Lonely Goose upright in the ground, preparing to defend with her bare hands.
The three fools immediately resumed their commentary.
"Is Su Yunying really planning to face two Nascent Origin Realm experts with her bare hands?"
"How is that possible? Isn't that overconfident?"
"It's hard to say. Since she first struck, Su Yunying has defeated every opponent with a single move. To me, Su Jinyun and Su Jinyi are just clowns."
Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Su Yunying walked to within ten paces of the Su Clan brothers. With a flick of her Phoenix Sleeve, she tucked one hand behind her back and extended the other in a welcoming gesture. "Su Yunying, I invite your challenge."
The wind whipped around her, and in that moment, Su Yunying exuded the grace of a true master.
The Su Clan brothers exchanged a glance, simultaneously drawing their swords. With lightning speed, they lunged at Su Yunying.
Their strikes were vicious and venomous, unleashed with full power, showing no mercy and no regard for kinship.
Yet Su Yunying didn't flinch. She simply raised her palms, her spirit energy coalescing into Cloud Force at her center.
"Cloud Dispelling Palm: Heaven-Rending Cloud Dispelling."
*Boom!*
A deafening explosion shook the arena as crimson and azure palm energy, crackling with overwhelming force, slammed into the brothers. They and their swords were sent crashing from the stage.
*Pfft, pfft.*
Both brothers coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Disbelief etched on their faces, they stared at the arena.
After all their calculations, they never imagined Su Yunying's strength would be so overwhelming.
"Jinyi, Jinyun, are you alright?"
Yin Jiao'e hurried forward to help the two brothers, anxiously inquiring about their injuries.
However, the brothers' faces were pale and contorted in agony, and they were unable to speak in response to their mother's questions.
"What did you do to them?"
Su Yunying shook her head and said calmly, "Rest assured, killing them would only dirty my hands. I merely crippled their cultivation."
At these words, the brothers' eyes widened simultaneously.
When they checked their bodies, they discovered that their *qi sea* had completely vanished, leaving not a trace of spiritual energy.
For a cultivator, losing their cultivation was worse than death itself.
The brothers exchanged a desperate glance, their faces filled with terror and panic.
"As for you..."
Su Yunying smiled and approached Su Xuejiao.
Su Xuejiao stumbled back in fear. "What are you doing? I warn you, don't come any closer!"
"From now on," Su Yunying said, "don't provoke me again."
With that, she struck Su Xuejiao with a palm, sending her flying off the stage.
Simultaneously, Shen Zhao secretly channeled a hidden force into his finger, and an invisible force shot towards Su Xuejiao's *qi sea*, instantly crippling her cultivation.
Kong Lian, a member of the Public Trial Panel, watched this scene with a jolt of surprise.
"You useless fools! I had everything arranged for you. The match was supposed to be a mere formality..."
"Whether they won or lost, I could have arranged for Su Xuejiao to join the Confucian Sage Sect. But you had to make such a scene! Now look at this mess—even if I wore my tongue to the bone, I couldn't set foot in the sect. You fools! Why did you have to cause such trouble?"
Kong Lian mentally cursed the Su Family's idiocy again and again.
"No, I can't let myself be dragged down with them. It seems I have no choice but to follow Shen Zhao's plan."
"What a pity... Su Xuejiao was truly unforgettable. I thought I could enjoy her privately after bringing her to the sect, but now... I'll have to abandon her. I won't let a woman ruin my reputation in the Southern Region. Absolutely not!"
Having made up his mind, Kong Lian resolved to double down on his course of action.
Little did he know that nearby, Kong Bai and other members of the Confucian Sage Sect were quietly observing him with peculiar expressions.
"I never knew Elder Kong had such a lecherous side, getting so wild with a seventeen-year-old girl."
"Enough! The thought alone makes me sick. Thank goodness Elder Shen took a righteous stand and refused to hand over the recording stone that would disgrace the sect. Otherwise, the Confucian Sage Sect's reputation would have been ruined—not just in the Southern Region, but across the Nine Realms. We'd have become a laughingstock, unable to hold our heads up for a lifetime."
"Kong Lian has defiled the teachings of the Confucian Sage Sect, lacking all sense of propriety and shame. His position as a sect elder must be abolished."
"Elder Shen said we should endure for now. After the Southern Domain Grand Tournament, it will be the perfect time to deal with him."
After a brief discussion, Kong Bai and the others unanimously decided to wait for the opportune moment to act against Kong Lian.
