Chapter 118 Crippling Hong De's Star Cultivation Base
[The Holy Maiden's impression of you became better and she even felt moved by your words. After all, she wouldn't be surprised if it was her father the Star Hall Pope or her grandfather the Grand Priest were the ones who announced the possible war against the Hong Clan just to avenge the humiliation she felt.]
[However, she only expected that you would save her but she didn't expect that you would go as far as avenging her as well as giving her the option to decide the outcome of Hong De's life.]
[Hearing your question regarding Hong De's punishment, the Holy Maiden immediately replied, "Hong De dared to insult and attack me and even planned to sexually harass me! He will be castrated and his star cultivation base will be crippled! Afterward, he will be stripped naked and raped by muscular gay men in public!"]
[Since you had also used your astral energy to amplify the Holy Maiden's voice and allow it to be broadcasted throughout Star City, those top forces felt a chill run down their spine when they heard the Holy Maiden's vicious punishment!]
[After all, it was already agreed upon that the Star Hall was the strongest top force in the entire world with the highest count of Revered Constellation powerhouses and it even became stronger after you, the Holy Son, became the third Level 99 Revered Constellation.]
[Because of that, those top forces from the bordering empires and top star master academies dared not offend the Star Hall. And they didn't even doubt the authenticity of the Holy Maiden's words since they knew that just the announcement alone was to prove that Star Hall would do anything to show their dominance and would never allow themselves to be humiliated by others.]
[In other words, the Holy Maiden's words were already guaranteeing the ruthless punishment that Hong De would experience regardless of Hong De's identity as the heir of the strongest clan.]
[Even those top forces would think twice before they offend the Hong Clan since the Hong Clan was one of the few top forces that has a Level 99 Revered Constellation powerhouse. Yet, Star Hall didn't even care and publicly announced Hong De's punishment which was also a slap to the Hong Clan's face.]
[Those top forces couldn't even complain to the Star Hall for their cruelty since they had also caught wind of the conflict between the Holy Maiden and Hong De and they knew that Hong De had gone too far.]
[They knew that if Hong De also did the same to them, they would have retaliated if they were strong enough to defeat the Hong Clan without many casualties. But since they weren't, their weakness had limited them and caused them to be surprised by the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the Star Hall.]
[It was worth noting that the patriarch of the Hong Clan had stayed in the Hong Clan to defend the Hong Clan so the only one who could protect Hong De and prevent his humiliation wasn't present in Star City.]
[They already knew that Hong De being punished according to the punishment announced by the Holy Maiden was already inevitable. Not to mention, they didn't even care about the Hong Clan since every top force here was mostly enemies and only acted like allies on the surface.]
[They would even want the Hong Clan and Star Hall to wage war against each other so that the Hong Clan would be destroyed while the Star Hall would be weakened. In other words, they would benefit from the war between the Star Hall and the Hong Clan so they had no reason to stop it.]
[You were also aware of the mindset of those top forces so you also took advantage of it. Since those top forces wouldn't interfere and wouldn't stand up for Hong De and the Hong Clan, that saved you a lot of unnecessary problems.]
[You weren't surprised by the ruthlessness of the Holy Maiden since you know that everyone in her situation would want Hong De dead. After all, if you weren't present, the Holy Maiden would be sexually harassed and taken advantage of by Hong De.]
[The Holy Maiden valued her purity so it was no wonder she was extremely offended to the point she wanted to torture and humiliate Hong De. She didn't even want to kill Hong De since she wanted Hong De to suffer great humiliation and let him survive all of it so that Hong De would be driven to the point of suicide.] n-.OvElb1n
[Receiving the Holy Maiden's reply regarding Hong De's punishment, you revealed yourself and appeared in front of Hong De. Your astral pressure was still being released and that had prevented Hong De from moving his body.]
['Since the Holy Maiden wanted me to cripple the star cultivation base of Hong De, I can do that by destroying Hong De's star pathways and stealing Hong De's Divine Wind Sword star artifact. This can allow me to obtain the Divine Wind Sword a lot more convenient than I have expected and to top it all off, I can even have the backing of the Star Hall in waging war against the Hong Clan.']
[You know that the war against the Hong Clan was inevitable. Not because there wasn't any possibility that the Hong Clan's patriarch would not start a war and instead, reconcile with Star Hall. It was because you never planned to let go of the Hong Clan.]
[You already found a reasonable excuse for waging war to eliminate the Hong Clan and you could make use of this to collect all of the star artifacts in the Hong Clan which could be useful for your subordinates in the Zombie World.]
[With that plan in mind, there was no way you could reconcile with the Hong Clan even if the Hong Clan's patriarch didn't want to make a big deal out of this. You know that the Hong Clan's patriarch was wise enough to sacrifice Hong De just to keep the Hong Clan alive.]
[But since it already came to this, there was no way you could stop now!]
[With that intention, you crippled Hong De's star cultivation base!]
