only mu qingxuan was aware of long chen’s past interaction with lu minghan. in the eastern wasteland, he had once cut off lu minghan’s head.

of course, that was just because lu minghan had been careless. it didn’t truly represent long chen had the power to fight against kings.

the other disciples present were unaware of this. through his words, it seemed that he knew this elder and had also once cut off his head. they doubted his words at first, but lu minghan’s furious expression verified his words. that scared them witless. what kind of monster was long chen?

“long chen, you’re courting death!” raged lu minghan, killing intent erupting out of him.

“i don’t know whether or not i’m courting death, but i do know that you definitely are. if i could cut off your head once, i can cut it off again. and this time, i guarantee i won’t give you any chance to reconnect it,” said long chen.

originally, long chen had no intention of infuriating lu minghan, as that wasn’t a smart move. but thinking of how this bastard had been greedy for his treasures and tried to use soulsearch on him, his hatred got the better of him.

if he was stronger, he’d definitely go all-out to kill him right now and then flee from the xuantian dao sect. but right now, he was too weak and could only endure. however, he wouldn’t give up any chance to humiliate his opponents.

his words caused everyone to suck in a cold breath of air. their guess was right; he had truly once cut off the head of a king.

that made their hair stand on end, especially those disciples who had failed the trial and tried to charge up by saying long chen had cheated.

their thought was that the law was unable to punish so many people and that no one would dare to do anything to them. and by saying that the eastern wasteland’s people had cheated, there was a high chance they would be able to muddle their way into the xuantian dao sect.

now they realized how wrong they were. long chen was someone who dared to cut off the head of a king, so of course he dared to kill them.

thinking of that, they felt that life was a blessing. just now, they had truly brushed past a death god.

even yan mochen, wei changhai, and han yunshan’s expressions changed, their faces pale as paper. they hadn’t known long chen had such a terrifying history.

that was especially true of han yunshan and wei changhai. they had exchanged blows with long chen- no, that was wrong, they hadn’t exchanged blows, they had been beaten like children. as soon as they had attacked, long chen had knocked them unconscious with a slap to the face.

“little brute, you want to offend your superiors? you’ve slaughtered innocent people, so you need to be brought to the law enforcement hall to receive your punishment!”

lu minghan’s face was ashen with rage. the other person who had come with him was a stern-looking man. with a cold snort, the chain in his hand flew toward long chen.

the chain was like a bolt of lightning. a terrifying pressure descended, one that froze space and made it so none of them could move.

this was the irresistible pressure of a king. the disciples felt like an invisible hand was wrapped around them, and it was like they would be crushed to death with just a thought.

once the two of them left, li changfeng looked over everyone, and his gaze landed on long chen in the end.

“take care of how far you go,” warned li changfeng.

“many thanks for the reminder, elder.”

long chen bowed slightly. he understood what he meant. he was telling him not to overstep.

as long as he didn’t go too far, the elder’s hall would protect him. but once he went too far, he would have exposed an opening to the law enforcement hall, and then it would be troublesome.

long chen now realized something. he was being used in a competition of strength between the law enforcement hall and the elder hall. he had become the elder’s hall’s weapon.

but he didn’t mind. when joining a tangled and complicated power, you had to choose a side. wanting to offend no one was a fool’s dream.

the most important thing was to choose the right supporter. having completely destroyed his bridges with lu minghan, the elder hall was the best choice.

furthermore, through the characters of li changfeng and lu minghan, he was almost sure that the elder hall was much friendlier than the law enforcement hall.

“the trial is to continue. if anyone else dares to wildly make accusations, they’ll be executed immediately,” said li changfeng before vanishing from their sight.

those disciples that had failed didn’t dare to make a sound. their indignation was completely quelled.

mu qingxuan finally had a chance to say, “the disciples that failed the trial have two options. you can return to your old sect, or you can stay in the xuantian dao sect.”

“we can stay?” they were delighted and surprised.

“yes, but if you do, you will not have the status or treatment of disciples. you’ll be workers who are paid with cultivation resources. the bad news is that those resources will be very limited, and your room for growth will be minimal. it might be better for you to return to your original sect and be a tyrant there. the good news is that as long as you stay in the central plains, anything is possible. so ask yourselves if you’re willing to bet your lives on a chance.

“that’s all. someone will come to get you in a bit. as for whether you want to stay or leave, think carefully. your fates will be in your own hands.”

mu qingxuan led away the people who had passed. amongst the disciples who had failed, the ones who had been spoiled didn’t want to stay as workers. they felt it to be too embarrassing, and it would be better to return to their old homes and live out a glorious life.

it was the ones who had come from poorer origins that wished to stay behind. even if they returned, they wouldn’t be able to become tyrants at their level.

“congratulations on passing. follow me. welcome to the xuantian dao sect,” said mu qingxuan.

the huge stone gate slowly opened, the sound shaking their eardrums. incredibly dense spiritual qi crashed over them.
