Chapter 256 - Courtyard Competition
Not long after, all the disciples of the God-Slaying Manor returned to the God-Slaying Manor, and upon arrival, Xia Xuan called for a meeting, all the clan elders and deacons gathered there.
Xia Xuan sat high up at the head of the table. Four Ancestral Elders sat beside Xia Xuan, and around the round table were other ordinary elders. There were even other attendants standing around the table.
Not long ago, Xia Xuan and the others had already seen the suppression of the Left Elder, so no one dared to say anything to Xia Xuan.
"How many of you know me?" Xia Xuan asked a mysterious question the moment he opened his mouth. The elders and deacons looked at each other in dismay but they could only see confusion in the other people's eyes.
"Ten thousand years ago, this sovereign created a Divine Palace with a name like God-Slaying Manor. Unfortunately, someone framed this sovereign and after reincarnating, this sovereign returned to this place." Xia Xuan supported his chin with both hands, as a smile appeared on his face.
When the elders and deacons heard this, they immediately kneeled down and said in a loud and clear voice, "Greetings, Lord."
Now, these elders and deacons finally understood why the Four Great Ancestral Elders would listen to Xia Xuan's orders. It turned out that this Teenage called Xia Xuan was the Palace Chief of the God-Slaying Manor that they had never seen before, Deicide!
"Everyone, get up. I know that everyone only joined the God-Slaying Manor after I reincarnated, so it's fine if you don't know me." Xia Xuan waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, my Lord." Hearing what Xia Xuan said, everyone gave their thanks and stood up.
"I'm sure you know what day it will be in a month." Xia Xuan's face showed a hint of seriousness, and his voice could not help but cause chills to run down one's spine.
"I believe with Master here, our God-Slaying Manor will definitely win this year's competition." At this time, none of them dared to speak carelessly. It was the Right Elder who spoke first.
"From now on, you all do not know my true identity. I am just an ordinary head disciple of the God-Slaying Manor. After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan immediately stood up and left the conference room, leaving the rest of the people with stupefied expressions.
On this day, the entire God-Slaying Manor was in an uproar. The disciples of the God-Slaying Manor had only just returned to their residences, and before they could even steady themselves, various elders and deacons had given out their orders. The entire God-Slaying Manor had become lively.
However, the reason these disciples from the God-Slaying Manor came to the God-Slaying Manor was actually because the other Divine General Palaces did not want them, so they had no choice but to come to the God-Slaying Manor. This way, quite a few disciples would feel dissatisfied.
On a training field, dozens of disciples were being pressured by an elder. All of them were bent, some were half-kneeling, some were barely able to straighten their bodies.
Roughly an hour later, the elders had restrained their breath, allowing the disciples to catch their breath.
"I'm not going to practice anymore, I'm leaving." Right after taking a few breaths, a disciple called out. At the same time, he threw the blood-red jacket that belonged to the disciples of God-Slaying Manor to the ground, and immediately wanted to leave.
"I'm not training either." Under the lead of the man, the disciples threw their coats onto the ground, then followed that man and wanted to leave.
Right at this moment, a black figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of the leading man. The fist that contained the spiritual energy directly smashed into the man's face, immediately causing the man's face to cave in.
After being hit hard by Xia Xuan's punch, the man was sent flying and crashed into the ground with a loud bang.
Everyone's gaze turned towards the black figure, only to realise that it was a slightly skinny man, shockingly, it was Xia Xuan.
"According to the rules of the manor, those who openly lead the rebels will be removed from the list of punishments, and those who follow the wind will receive twenty divine punishment." Xia Xuan stood perfectly straight, the spiritual energy released a faint aura, making him look very imposing.
"What right do you have to care about us? This Broken House doesn't have the qualifications to restrain us. It's your honor to be able to come here." Some among the crowd had noticed that Xia Xuan's strength was merely at the first stage of Xuanhuang, and immediately one of them took the lead and spoke up.
Back then, even though Xia Xuan had led four great elders to suppress the left elder, not many people could clearly see Xia Xuan's appearance. As a result, these people did not recognize Xia Xuan's true identity.
Before anyone could react, Xia Xuan had already fiercely stared at the man, a burst of killing intent surged out of Xia Xuan's body, and before anyone could react, Xia Xuan had already disappeared, in the next moment the man was lying on the ground with a bloody nose and swollen face, with Xia Xuan's one hand holding onto the man's throat, the other hand into a fist, raising it up high, wanting to punch him ruthlessly.
But in the end, Xia Xuan did not continue the fight. He kept his fist and kicked the man dozens of meters away.
At this time, the man who was sent flying by Xia Xuan earlier had already climbed up from the ground. The man gave Xia Xuan a fierce look, then activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards Xia Xuan.
This man's strength was only at the sixth level of Xuanhuang. It was likely that he did not train very much and was completely immersed in the resources in his residence. Such a spoiled and spoiled person was simply a worm in his mansion.
Towards such an enemy, Xia Xuan did not care at all. He immediately turned around and punched, sending the man flying for over a hundred metres, and then smashing him into a rock. His entire body was embedded into the rock.
"Gulp" The sounds of Saliva s being swallowed sounded out one after another. Although the strength of a sixth stage Xuanhuang was not very strong, it was still difficult for even an expert of Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor to achieve such an effect with a single punch. The Teenage in front of them was not the kind of strength that she seemed to have.
"Elder Qiu, carry out the manor's rules." With a terrifying punch, Xia Xuan placed his hands behind his back and roared.
As Xia Xuan's voice fell, a Old Man hurriedly walked over. The Old Man held a blood-red bone whip in his hand as he pulled out one rebellious disciple after another.
No more, no less, twenty lashes each. When everyone had been beaten up, Elder Qiu wrapped his voice with a spiritual energy and said loudly: "Yue Yun, Liu Lin, removed from God-Slaying Manor."
On the other training grounds, everyone's gaze was fixated on Xia Xuan. Seemingly everyone had seen everything that happened, and Xia Xuan's actions had truly stunned everyone.
"I refuse to accept this. You beat up a disciple, so you deserve to be punished." With so many people, it was hard to avoid the fact that some of them had bad brains. Immediately, a disciple that had been punished shouted out.
Xia Xuan glanced at that disciple, and that disciple couldn't help but shrink back.
"Elder Qiu, announce my punishment." Xia Xuan was not a different kind of person. If he wanted to convince the masses, he had to be meticulous, and said those words immediately.
"Increase your training intensity by five times." Naturally, Elder Qiu did not dare to give him too much of a punishment.
Seeing that another person was about to object because the punishment was too low, Xia Xuan said: "Twenty times." With that said, Xia Xuan made a squatting posture, and indicated for Elder Qiu to release his pressure.
Elder Qiu hesitated for a moment before finally releasing his pressure. However, Elder Qiu was unable to increase the pressure by twenty times by himself, so three elders immediately released their full power at the same time.
Even with Xia Xuan's strength, it was difficult for him to defend, causing him to immediately kneel on one knee.
The surrounding disciples all secretly nodded their heads when they saw this scene. Even though the current Xia Xuan was only an ordinary disciple and the matter that he was handling was a little beyond his authority, the scene of him accepting punishment had caused some disciples to sincerely accept it.
