that expert’s face caved in. without a sound, he fainted.
this was long chen being merciful. if he had added just a bit of force, he’d have died.
chaos followed his actions. quite a few people were about to shout furiously at long chen. however, their voices were cut short when mo nian pulled back his bowstring. things were silent.
they were shocked to find that every single one of them was locked onto by mo nian’s aura. with a single thought, he could kill them all. an intense sensation of death filled their hearts.
although they had heard of mo nian’s name, all they knew was the name of the western wretch. he spent all day robbing tombs, so he was looked down on.
however, as soon as mo nian pulled back his bowstring, they felt all their lives be held in his grasp. their expressions wildly shifted. only now did they learn just how great the difference between them and mo nian was.
“what... what are you planning on doing? why fight amongst ourselves?” asked one person, shaking.
the ruckus over here drew the other experts who had distanced themselves from this smaller group. they rushed over to see what was happening.
“hehe, i knew these fools would be put in their place.” one of the experts in that crowd smiled faintly, as if he had long since expected this.
“exactly. those arrogant fellows just kept looking down on everyone else. i ignored them, and they viewed it as me being afraid of them. i said that as soon as long chen arrived, it would be up to their luck if these fellows would even survive.”
“having such idiots removed from the group is good, good for unity. otherwise, having them act like bigshots all the time would hurt morale.”
quite a few people were smiling. those people who had barged their way into being one of the ‘core members’ didn’t realize the situation. ye lingshan was the future alliance head, and she had called them all over. who did they think they were? why should they be allowed to participate in matters only for the higher-ups?
some of the smart people had long since realized that these fellows would cause trouble. ye lingshan’s foundation wasn’t stable yet. once she had steadied herself, they would be the first group to be put in their place.
however, others had been even more far-seeing. they had bet that as long as long chen arrived, their days of looking down on others would come to an end. and they had won their bet.
following that person, the other disciples also apologized for their previous conduct.
one of them announced, “please don’t expel us. otherwise, once i get back, my dad will definitely beat me to death. he was one of the generals following the alliance head, and i want to be the same as him. i will follow you to death.”
these hundreds of experts had submitted. long chen and mo nian exchanged a smile. this was the power of the carrot and the stick. it was a well-tried method and had resolved this problem.
in truth, any power would have similar issues, especially when there were more people. that was only natural.
however, these thorns had been people with a certain amount of power. one benefit of these thorns was that their heads were simple. once their beliefs were solidified, it would be difficult to shake them. their loyalty shouldn’t be much of a problem.
these hundreds of experts apologized, while ye lingshan graciously accepted. this matter ended like that.
ye lingshan glanced at long chen gratefully. this was all thanks to long chen. otherwise, considering how she had no experience with leadership, handling these people would not have been so easy.
“alright, everyone, pay attention!” long chen’s voice once more rang out. “during the next three days, everyone should arrive. although we’re reaching the last few stragglers, we’re still going to wait these three days. during these three days, everyone is to monitor each other. this gathering place will be sealed off. people can enter, but not leave.”
“why?”
long chen continued, “because there are so many people here, there are definitely a few spies. three days from now, the dragonblood legion’s number one soul expert, meng qi, will come. she’ll clean up any spies. to guarantee that none of them escape to sell out our information, i hope everyone can keep a close eye on each other. although it’s a bit hurtful, this is something that relates to hundreds of thousands of lives. brothers, sisters, you must be on guard at all times.”
immediately, the wariness of these disciples shot up. quite a few people’s expressions changed.
“big sister meng qi is coming?” chu yao was delighted.
“foolish girl, this is a con to scare away the traitors. no matter how amazing meng qi is, she can’t soulsearch hundreds of thousands of people without a few months’ time,” laughed long chen.
“you’re evil.” chu yao also laughed. long chen was once more conning people. however, he had been so serious that it had looked real.
“alright, let’s ignore them for now. we should go take a look at the yin yang valley,” said ye lingshan.
