Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

After reprimanding those few, Lin Shuang turned to Shen Feng and said seriously, "I didn't care if you favored Shen Li before, but this time you must handle this matter fairly."

Shen Feng frowned. "Of course, Mo'er is also my daughter. How could I show favoritism? Now that A-Li has committed such a serious mistake, she should be severely punished."

Furthermore, Luo Chen failed to distinguish right from wrong, abandoning Mo'er alone and causing her injury; he should also be punished.

"You two are to be imprisoned on Confinement Cliff for ten years, during which time no one is allowed to visit you. Anyone who violates this rule will also be imprisoned on Confinement Cliff!"

His eyes revealed a hint of weariness and helplessness. As the head of a sect, he was already burdened with the affairs of the sect on a daily basis. Now, with such a thing happening at home, he was exhausted.

Shen Chumo was somewhat surprised. Shen Feng was fair this time; she had thought he would offer a punishment that was neither too severe nor too lenient.

Lin Yu and the others' expressions changed. "Master, isn't this punishment a bit too harsh...? That's the Confinement Cliff! Junior Sister is already weak; what if..."

At the bottom of the secluded cliff, a fierce wind howls year-round. The wind is like a sharp blade, carrying a bone-chilling cold that can easily cut through the skin.

The cliff top is shrouded in mist all year round, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, which makes the entire Forbidden Cliff gloomy and dark, like a cage isolated from the world.

Moreover, the Forbidden Cliff isolates cultivation, and one cannot use any spells inside.

Those who were once imprisoned in the Confinement Cliff either died from the bitter cold at the bottom of the cliff, or their mental state was completely destroyed after they came out, turning them into cripples. Lin Yu and the others could hardly imagine how Shen Li and Luo Chen would survive ten years in such a terrifying place.

Shen Li and Luo Chen were truly panicked now.

"I was wrong, Master, Mistress, I am willing to be punished, but please don't lock me up on the Confinement Cliff, I beg you!" Shen Li cried out, her eyes filled with fear and pleading, her voice trembling with extreme terror.

Her former stubbornness and arrogance vanished without a trace at this moment. She knew all too well the terror of the Confinement Cliff, a place that could devour a person's will and destroy their body.

Luo Chen also begged for mercy. Despite his usual arrogance towards Shen Chumo, he was actually only in his early thirties, practically a child in the cultivation world.

His body trembled violently, as if he were being shaken: "Master, I really know I was terribly wrong. I shouldn't have trusted Shen Li so easily, and I shouldn't have abandoned Junior Sister Mo'er."

I'm willing to accept any punishment, even expulsion from the sect, just don't lock me up on the Confinement Cliff! I... I'll die there!

His voice, choked with sobs, echoed in the empty council chamber, sounding particularly mournful.

Shen Feng turned his back, his facial muscles twitching slightly, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He was not heartless; upon hearing their pleas, a pang of pity stirred within him. However, as the head of a sect, he could not allow the sect's rules and dignity to be trampled upon, nor could he easily ignore the immense suffering Mo'er had endured.

He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound firm and cold: "The rules are set and cannot be changed. The mistakes you have made must be made up for with this kind of punishment."

Lin Shuang looked at the two kneeling on the ground, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

She was furious at Shen Li's actions, but seeing Shen Li's pathetic and pleading appearance now, and recalling how obedient she was when she first joined the school, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Lin Yu and the other three exchanged glances and knelt down in unison. "We beg Master for mercy! Junior Sister and Fifth Junior Brother are still young and made a grave mistake out of momentary carelessness. But who is without fault?"

We earnestly beg our master and mistress to give them another chance to reform.

Upon hearing this, Shen Feng's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Second Senior Sister Su Yao continued, "Master, Junior Sister is just a child with a childlike mind and is of mortal origin. She used the wrong method in order to gain a foothold in the sect. They did not have any intention to harm anyone. Sixth Junior Sister's injury was just an accident. They did not expect that Sixth Junior Sister would be targeted by a demon beast."

Shen Li nodded quickly, "Master, all I wanted was the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, I never intended to harm Senior Sister. Seeing her like this, I feel more pained than anyone else."

"Back when I was still a mortal, I always longed for a sister to accompany me. After joining the sect, I always treated my senior sister as my own sister. This was truly an accident. Please believe me."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them, making her look so pitiful that it evoked pity in people's hearts.

Shen Feng's expression softened. Indeed, Mo'er's injuries were caused by a demon beast and were an accident. It would be a stretch to blame Mo'er's injuries entirely on Shen Li and Luo Chen.

Shen Chumo looked at Su Yao. In the past, among the five senior brothers and sisters, because they were all girls, the original owner was closest to this second senior sister, Su Yao. They even ate and slept together for a period of time. The original owner truly regarded Su Yao as her own sister.

But the one who changed the fastest among them was actually Su Yao.

Su Yao saw the coldness in Shen Chumo's eyes as he looked at her, as if she were a complete stranger. She knew she had wronged Mo'er in this matter.

But things have come to this point, and Mo'er is no longer able to cultivate. She can't let her junior sister and fifth junior brother be dragged down with her.

Thinking of this, Su Yao hardened her heart and turned her head away. At worst, she would make it up to Mo'er later.

Just as Shen Feng was about to speak, Cheng Lingyu, who had been standing to the side, suddenly interjected, "Sect Master, Miss Shen's health condition is not optimistic. To avoid upsetting her, she needs to rest now. Why don't we leave so that Miss Shen can recuperate in peace?"

Cheng Lingyu's voice was calm and unhurried, yet it made Shen Feng feel inexplicably guilty.

Shen Feng nodded slightly, looking at Shen Chumo with eyes full of heartache.

"Mo'er, you should rest first. I will handle this matter properly and give you a satisfactory explanation."

Shen Feng's tone softened considerably, a stark contrast to his earlier imposing manner as sect leader.

Shen Chumo nodded gently, "I don't want to make things difficult for you, Father. I have no objection to whatever decision you make."

After saying that, Shen Chumo weakly closed her eyes.

Shen Feng and his group left Shen Chumo's courtyard and arrived at the main peak, Lingyun Peak.

Cheng Lingyu stepped forward and said, "Sect Master, Sect Master's wife, I have something else to report."

Cheng Lingyu is the personal disciple of the peak master of Dan Ding Peak in Lingtian Sect, and also the most talented disciple in Dan Ding Peak. Shen Feng admires him very much.

"Pharmacist Cheng, please speak."

“A month ago, when Shen Chumo emerged from the secret realm, it was my master and I who treated her together. That’s why, when I took her pulse just now, I noticed something was wrong with her qi and blood. Compared to a month ago, she seemed to be getting weaker, which is illogical, and moreover…”

Cheng Lingyu frowned slightly, a look of seriousness appearing on her face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang's heart tightened immediately, and she hurriedly asked, "And what? Pharmacist Cheng, please speak freely."
