As Luo Chen let out a cold snort, his palm struck Ling Duan's chest.
"what"
Ling Duan let out a miserable cry and his body fell limply to the ground, barely breathing.
Upon seeing this, the crowd hurriedly surrounded Luo Chen, drawing their longswords as if ready to attack at a single command.
At this moment, Master Hansu rushed to Lingduan's side and hurriedly poured a stream of spiritual energy into Lingduan's body.
"Hehe, there's no need to be so nervous. He won't die, but all his internal energy has been destroyed. I'm afraid it's impossible for him to cultivate again!" Luo Chen said casually.
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Master Han Su's expression immediately turned ugly. She slowly rose from the ground and coldly said to Luo Chen:
"What you're doing is no different from killing him! Why did you do this! Did you come to my Tianyong City for the Burning Sword or not!"
"For the Burning Sword? Heh, that's a very good point. If I wanted the Burning Sword, do you think anyone could stop me?" Luo Chen said coldly.
An invisible pressure suddenly erupted from Luo Chen's body and spread rapidly in all directions.
When Master Ziyin and Master Hansu sensed that aura, they hurriedly released the spiritual power within their bodies to resist it.
The others, however, were not so lucky. They all knelt down with a thud, their faces filled with difficulty.
At this moment, Luo Chen, seeing the difficult expressions on their faces, coldly said:
"Let me tell you, I, Luo Chen, have always believed that I will not offend others unless they offend me. The fact that I haven't killed him today is already giving Tianyong City enough face. Don't force me to take action!"
As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, the oppressive aura dissipated from the hall, and everyone's faces showed a relaxed expression.
"Senior, Sect Leader, this whole affair started because of me. Punish me if you must!"
Baili Tusu hurriedly knelt between the two of them, his face full of guilt as he spoke.
At this moment, Master Ziyin hurriedly stepped forward from the side and said to Master Hansu:
"Sect Leader, we also bear some responsibility for this matter. Why don't we both compromise?"
"Humph!"
Han Suzhen snorted coldly and turned her body to the side, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Knowing that the sect leader valued his reputation, Master Ziyin slowly walked towards Luo Chen and said with a hint of apology:
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you give me face and let this matter drop? Why bother arguing with these juniors!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen let out two cold laughs and said to Master Ziyin:
If someone called you trash, would you kill them?
When Luo Chen said this, the faces of Master Ziyin and Master Hansu immediately turned ugly, and they looked angrily in the direction of Ling Duan.
If Ling Duan really said those words, then things are definitely not that simple. Even if Luo Chen kills him, no one can say anything, because the dignity of a strong person cannot be insulted by others.
Upon realizing this, everyone understood that Luo Chen had truly given them ample face.
At this moment, Master Hansu's gaze turned icy as she looked at the faces of those disciples, and she said in a cold voice:
"Everyone involved in this matter, step forward!"
Chapter Seventy-Six: Do As You Please
Upon hearing the fierce roar from Han Su Zhenren, all the disciples in the main hall kept their mouths tightly shut, afraid of making any sound.
"What, do you want me to find them all one by one?!"
At this point, everyone realized they could no longer hide, and slowly stepped forward from their positions.
Upon seeing this, Han Suzhen let out a cold snort and slowly walked towards Luo Chen, asking him with a hint of apology:
"Fellow Daoist Luochen, I entrust all these disciples to your disposal."
At this moment, when the disciples saw their sect leader hand them over to Luo Chen, they were immediately shocked and looked in the direction of Han Su Zhenren with fear on their faces.
"Sect Leader, Sect Leader, we know we were wrong! Please be lenient with us!" The crowd begged for mercy from Master Hansu with fear in their eyes.
Upon hearing this, a troubled expression appeared on Master Hansu's face, and she slowly said to Luo Chen:
"Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, I know that what I said was indeed somewhat inappropriate, but these disciples are the foundation of my Tianyong City. I beg you, Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, to spare them for the sake of their junior status!"
"Enough, enough! I'm not one to hold grudges, but this Ling Duan..." As she spoke, Luo Chen's gaze turned coldly toward Ling Duan.
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Master Han Su understood how she should relinquish her possession, and solemnly said:
"Ling Duan disrespects elders and elders, and attempts to undermine the bonds between fellow disciples. Today, I expel Ling Duan from the sect, and he shall never set foot in Tianyong City again!"
When everyone heard about Ling Duan's punishment, their faces turned cold, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they would not be punished.
But before everyone could secretly rejoice, a single sentence from Master Hansu plunged their hearts into despair once again.
"Since Fellow Daoist Luo Chen has spared you, in order to teach you a lesson, from today onwards, you will clean the Heavenly Ladder of Tianyong City every day, and you will not be allowed to rest until you have finished cleaning it!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!" Left with no other choice, everyone had to bite the bullet and agree, otherwise they might end up like Ling Duan.
"Alright, you may all leave now!"
Upon hearing Master Hansu's words, all the disciples bowed to Master Hansu and Master Ziyin before walking out of the main hall.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen didn't linger any longer and said to Han Su Zhenren:
"Now that the matter has been resolved, I will take my leave!"
With that, Luo Chen bowed to Han Su Zhenren and walked out of the main hall.
As soon as Luo Chen stepped out of the main hall, he did not rush to leave, but listened carefully to the conversation inside.
"Junior brother, who exactly is this Luo Chen? How can he be so strong?"
"Senior brother, he came to Tianyong City on his own to treat Baili Tusu. What's wrong, senior brother? Is there a problem?"
"It's alright. Hopefully, he didn't come to Tianyong City for any particular purpose. Otherwise, it could be quite a problem!" Master Hansu said with a hint of worry.
"By the way, Senior Brother said that Tianyong City will be recruiting new disciples in a few days. Shouldn't we go and make preparations now?"
Upon hearing this, Master Hansu nodded slightly and then said to Master Ziyin:
“Indeed, let Ling Yue handle this matter. I believe he can do a good job.”
""
At this moment, Luo Chen, who was outside the main hall, began to ponder the conversation inside. He slowly said:
"Looks like I've arrived at the perfect time! I'm sure Feng Qingxue and Ouyang Shaogong will be here this time too!"
Thinking of this, Luo Chen quickly walked to the side.
"Senior, when will the evil energy in my body be completely removed?"
Having witnessed Luo Chen's strength, Baili Tusu now viewed Luo Chen with the same fervor one would show to a god.
Upon hearing Baili Tusu's words, Luo Chen didn't rush to speak. Instead, he remained silent for a while before addressing Baili Tusu:
"Don't rush to think about these things. The evil energy in your body is deeply rooted, so it needs to be cleared slowly. Don't get agitated!"
Upon hearing Luo Chen say that it would take some more time, a look of disappointment flashed in Baili Tusu's eyes. He silently nodded and said to Luo Chen:
"Then, senior, I'll take my leave now!" With that, Baili Tusu prepared to depart.
"Wait a minute, Tu Su, don't rush, take your time."
"Yes, senior."
After watching Baili Tusu's figure slowly depart, Luo Chen began to ponder his next plan.
A few days later, Tianyong City also issued a notice to recruit new disciples.
At this moment, outside Tianyong City, Feng Qingxue, who had escaped from Youdu, ran over excitedly, accompanied by Ouyang Shaogong, whom she had met on the road.
"Brother Ouyang, let's hurry up and get in line!" Feng Qingxue said excitedly.
Upon hearing Feng Qingxue's words, Ouyang Shaogong's face showed a thoughtful expression. He nodded slightly and then walked towards Tianyong City.
Luo Chen, who had been waiting on the side, saw the only female disciple, Feng Qingxue, among the many new disciples. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he disappeared to the side.
"Master Hansu! I've come here today to discuss something with you," Luo Chen said calmly.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Luo Chen's sudden remark, Master Hansu's face showed a hint of confusion as she asked Luo Chen:
"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely!"
"If you don't mind, I'd like to seek an elder position in Tianyong City. What do you think?" Luo Chen said to Han Su Zhenren.
Upon hearing this, Master Hansu exclaimed in surprise and asked Luo Chen in confusion:
"Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, of course you can become an elder of my Tianyong City. This would be a great honor for my Tianyong City. But the only thing I don't understand is why Fellow Daoist Luo Chen would suddenly bring this up?"
Upon hearing Han Su Zhenren's words, Luo Chen gave an awkward smile and slowly said to Han Su Zhenren:
"To be honest, the reason I came to Tianyong City was to learn the swordsmanship of Tianyong City. Although my strength has reached a certain level, I only have a superficial understanding of this swordsmanship, so..."
Chapter Seventy-Seven Outer Sect Elders
Seeing that Luo Chen's words seemed to make some sense, Han Su Zhenren smiled and said to Luo Chen:
“I understand, I understand. In that case, I will announce you as an outer sect elder of Tianyong City tomorrow, and you will be allowed to learn the sword techniques of Tianyong City.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen smiled and said to Han Su Zhenren:
"Then thank you in advance, Master!"
As he spoke, Luo Chen walked directly towards the front of the main hall. Although the status of the outer sect elder was not very high, he was still considered an elder, and he would have many advantages in certain aspects.
"Registration is closed. Everyone can gather here at dusk today. I will send someone to lead you to Emerald Valley, where a large number of demons will appear. If you can survive there for one night, you will officially become disciples of Tianyong City," Ling Yue said loudly to the crowd.
At this moment, after hearing Ling Yue's words, the expressions on everyone's faces were quite different. Some were full of disdain, while others were filled with fear, as if it were a very terrifying place.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Ling Yue showed no emotion. After turning around, he walked out into Tianyong City.
Seeing that everything was over, Feng Qingxue happily said to Ouyang Shaogong:
"Brother Ouyang, since we still have plenty of time, why don't we go for a walk around the area now?"
"I have some other things to do. You go ahead and we'll meet here later!"
After saying something to Feng Qingxue, Ouyang Shaogong walked away without looking back.
At this moment, a look of disappointment appeared on Feng Qingxue's face, but she still walked away silently.
Following Feng Qingxue's departing figure, a faint smile gradually appeared on Luo Chen's lips, and he quickly followed in Feng Qingxue's direction.
Just as Feng Qingxue was happily looking at the scenery around her, she suddenly stopped, her smile froze, and she cautiously glanced behind her.
When Feng Qingxue's gaze fell on Luo Chen's body, a cold smile appeared on her lips, and she hurriedly ran into the alleyway to the side.
When Luo Chen saw Feng Qingxue walking towards the deserted alley, he was overjoyed and hurriedly followed her.
"Strange, why hasn't the person who's been following me shown up yet?" Feng Qingxue wondered, having not seen Luo Chen for a long time.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Startled by the voice behind her, Feng Qingxue quickly turned around and simultaneously released a burst of spiritual energy from her palm.
"boom!"
Seeing Feng Qingxue's palm coming towards him like a child, Luo Chen stretched out his own palm without any hesitation.
Feeling the hand gripping her arm, Feng Qingxue was startled and hurriedly prepared to strike Luo Chen with another palm.
At this moment, Luo Chen quickly dodged to the side, hurriedly saying to Feng Qingxue:
"Are you Feng Qingxue?"
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Feng Qingxue's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and she asked Luo Chen with a question:
"That's right, who are you, and why are you following me!"
Upon seeing Feng Qingxue's confirmation, Luo Chen's face lit up with surprise, and he hurriedly said to Feng Qingxue:
"Do you have an older brother named Feng Guangmo?"
Upon hearing Luo Chen mention her brother, Feng Qingxue immediately became excited and hurriedly asked Luo Chen:
Do you know where my brother is?!
"Yes, he was seriously injured and can barely move. He had to ask me to take you there."
Although Feng Qingxue had no idea whether Luo Chen's words were true or false, now that she had news of her brother, she absolutely could not give up this sliver of an opportunity.
