On the high platform, the elders of the Three Great Royal Clans exchanged glances, each catching a glimpse of coldness in the other's eyes.
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue had disrespected their ancestors and spoken irreverently! With no signs of repentance, it was time to initiate the Ancestral Judgment and hand them over to their forebears for punishment!
As these words were spoken, a wave of murmurs erupted around them.
These two little brats truly did not know how to avoid danger! Now, there would be no one to save them!
The crowd looked at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue with expressions filled with pity and mockery, as if they could already foresee their tragic fate.
Not only were they seeking their own doom, but they were also dragging the Shen Family down with them.
Shen Zhentian had fought valiantly for the Qian Sheng Empire, achieving great military feats, yet in the end, he was being implicated by two ignorant children—how pitiful!
The faces of the Shen Family turned pale, and Shen Wanzhou nearly fainted from despair.
It was all my fault! It was all my fault! I failed to teach them properly, leading them to commit such a grave mistake! Tears streamed down Shen Wanzhou's face as regret washed over her.
Perhaps she should never have agreed to let the two children participate in the bloodline test or returned to the Shen Family, bringing trouble upon her family.
She struggled to kneel before Shen Zhentian, pleading, "Dear brother, please sever our blood ties with us three! From now on, let us be completely estranged! Li and Yue'er are my failure; I did not teach them well, and they have made this grave mistake. We will bear the consequences! I am sorry for letting you down!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Shen Zhentian's expression darkened, a mix of pain and seriousness etched on his face.
Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei hurriedly helped Shen Wanzhou up, comforting her, "Little sister, what are you saying? We are family! Li and Yue'er are just children who do not understand; they made a mistake. We will pray to the Holy Emperor for blessings; surely he will spare their lives!"
Seeing the Shen Family in such a flustered state, Chen Yuantu couldn't help but smirk with derision.
This time, he would surely eradicate this hidden threat posed by the Shen Family!
"Grandfather, uncle, mother, you don’t need to worry; we are fine." Chen Li's calm voice interrupted the conversation among the Shen Family members.
His gaze swept over the elders of the Three Great Royal Clans on the platform before finally landing on Chen Yuantu, his smirk deepening.
Let the Ancestral Judgment commence! Open your eyes wide and see if our ancestors will punish us!
As soon as Chen Li spoke these words, shock rippled through the crowd.
This kid—at such a critical moment—still dared to speak so arrogantly?
Was he mad or did he truly have some backing?
It seemed more likely that he was simply mad. How ignorant!
The faces of the elders from the Three Great Royal Clans turned ashen, their authoritative expressions now flashing with intense anger.
Death is imminent, yet you dare to show such disrespect! How arrogant!
The Grand Elder trembled with rage, laughing in anger. Since you seek death so desperately, then Old Madam shall grant your wish!
With that, he ignored Chen Li and turned to face the enormous Ritual Bronze Cauldron on the high platform, quickly forming hand seals.
As he moved, a blinding light erupted from the Ritual Bronze Cauldron, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire square.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, dark clouds gathering as if the apocalypse had arrived.
Around the Testing Platform, everyone felt an overwhelming pressure akin to a mountain pressing down on them.
This is Ancestral Power? It's terrifying!
Those two little kids are doomed!
In the terrified gazes of the crowd, a massive black vortex emerged above the Ritual Bronze Cauldron.
The vortex slowly spun, emanating a horrifying suction force as if it aimed to swallow everything in existence.
Kneel!
The Grand Elder shouted angrily and was the first to drop to his knees.
Other royal elders and members of various families followed suit, trembling in fear.
Li, Yue'er, kneel quickly!
Shen Wanzhou's face turned pale as she desperately tried to push Chen Li and Shen Qingyue down to the ground.
However, Chen Li and Shen Qingyue stood tall like two sturdy poplar trees, unyielding against the raging storm.
Mother, don’t be afraid; we won’t be harmed.
Chen Li gently patted Shen Wanzhou's hand, signaling her to stay calm.
But Shen Wanzhou wanted to say something more when Chen Li interrupted her.
Mother, trust me!
Chen Li's eyes shone brightly, his tone filled with undeniable confidence.
Looking into her son's determined gaze, Shen Wanzhou felt an inexplicable sense of calm wash over her.
"Mother, I believe in you!"
At that moment, the pull of the black vortex reached its peak, sweeping towards Chen Li and Shen Qingyue with relentless force.
The voice of the Grand Elder was authoritative and filled with malice. "Chen Li, Shen Qingyue, you have disrespected your ancestors. Today, I shall send you into the vortex of fate to be punished by them! Ha ha, go die!"
Chen Yuantu watched this scene with a sense of satisfaction swelling within him.
Just as the black vortex was about to engulf Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, Shen Wanzhou suddenly rushed in front of them and knelt down without hesitation. Her body trembled, despairing tears blurred her vision, and her hoarse voice was barely audible over the howling wind. "Three Elders, please, spare my children! They are still young and do not understand. I am willing to take their punishment! Please, spare them!"
Shen Zhentian and the others looked on, their hearts twisted in agony. He felt as if he were infected by her sorrow, tears streaming down his face as he trembled and fell to his knees. "I, Shen Zhentian, have only these two precious grandchildren. They have never been favored since childhood and nearly lost their lives! It has not been easy for them to survive until today. Though they have spoken recklessly, their sins do not warrant death! Three Elders, I beg you for mercy; punish this old man instead!"
Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei also knelt down in unison, their voices choked with emotion. "We are also willing to take the punishment for our nephew and niece. Please, Three Elders, grant us this!"
The elders of the Three Great Royal Clans watched this scene unfold with furrowed brows. They had intended to reprimand the Shen family but found themselves inexplicably shaken by Shen Wanzhou's heart-wrenching plea.
At that moment, Chen Li stepped forward to stop those who were still pleading desperately. His tone was calm yet resolutely firm: "Grandfather, Uncle, Mother, we really are fine. You don’t need to worry; just step back quickly!"
Shen Wanzhou understood her son's thoughts but felt even more heartbroken. "Li, how can you let me watch you and your sister die?"
Chen Li knew that further explanations would be futile. With a sigh, he took Shen Qingyue's small hand and gave Shen Wanzhou a reassuring look before leaping into the terrifying black vortex.
Seeing this, Shen Wanzhou let out a piercing scream, wanting to rush forward to grab them but was knocked to the ground by an overwhelming invisible force.
"Li! Yue'er!"
"Shen Wanzhou!"
Shen Zhentian and the others watched helplessly as Chen Li and Shen Qingyue disappeared into the black vortex, their hearts racing with anxiety yet powerless to intervene.
