Chapter 504: Chapter 501: Regret!_1

Steward Xu trembled with anger, but there was nothing he could do. Steward Xiao had many friends and followers, making it impossible for him to argue against him. He could only swallow his anger and let Steward Xiao act arrogantly.

As Steward Xiao was about to continue pressing his advantage, Mo Zhi Jiao suddenly released his Qi and snorted coldly.

As Mo Zhi Jiao’s powerful Martial Arts Cultivation spread out, the surrounding deacons couldn’t help but shudder. It wasn’t because of anything else, but the fact that Mo Zhi Jiao’s Cultivation was much stronger than theirs, who had only just entered the True Martial Realm.

Mo Zhi Jiao, with his hands behind his back, coldly glanced over these deacons and said in a cold voice, “Heh, good, very good. The seventeenth floor, it’s just the seventeenth floor. Minister Fang, you really think it’s easy to accomplish. Why don’t you let your disciples try and see if any of them can pass the seventeenth floor?”

Hearing this, Minister Fang trembled and didn’t know what to say. He had just been talking big and hadn’t thought too much about it. He just assumed Yang Chen passing the seventeenth floor was no big deal. But now that he thought about it carefully, where in Beishan Main City was there anyone who could pass the seventeenth floor?

Not to mention the seventeenth floor, the best of this generation, like Shao Ming and the others, could only barely reach the fifteenth floor.

Mo Zhi Jiao became angrier the more he thought about it. He couldn’t hold it in any longer. “You say there’s no need for Yang Chen? Fine, you find someone stronger than him. Yang Chen has reached the Half-step Yuan Martial Realm at such a young age. You find someone better than him. Yang Chen has passed the seventeenth floor, you find someone to do it!”

In the past, these deacons were the backbone of Beishan Main City, and he couldn’t criticize them directly.

But now, he couldn’t stand it anymore.

Why is Yang Chen being targeted again and again?

It’s because Yang Chen is simply too outstanding.

As a teacher in charge, how could he not know the twisted thoughts of these deacons?

In the hands of these deacons were their family members, and some direct disciples. They all cared very much about the distribution of their own benefits. Once another genius appeared, it was likely that they would fight for the benefits in their hands.

This made them quite willing to accept some mediocre geniuses. But when faced with an exceptional genius like Yang Chen, their acceptance from the high-levels would probably not be as high as before and they might even actively resist.

At first, Mo Zhi Jiao hadn’t thought much of it because Yang Chen’s performance hadn’t reached the level where he needed to step in and recruit him.

But now…

He regretted it.

Just as Mo Zhi Jiao was regretting it, the Trial Tower suddenly shone with another dazzling light.

This light emerged from the eighteenth floor and directly converged on the nineteenth floor.

This indicated that Yang Chen had passed the eighteenth floor.

Dead silence.

It seemed that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly.

Yang Chen had passed the eighteenth floor and entered the nineteenth, leaving people with a shocking feeling. They were so shocked that they didn’t know what words to use to describe everything that was happening now or the achievements that Yang Chen had obtained. At the very least, Yang Chen had achieved everything that Beishan Main City’s most outstanding genius in history, Huang Taiji, had accomplished.

“He’s on the nineteenth floor now.”

“Yang Chen has entered the nineteenth floor; he completed the eighteenth floor!”

“This…”

Mo Zhi Jiao could keep calm before, but now that Yang Chen had actually passed the eighteenth floor, he couldn’t sit still. He roared, “Is that what you said is not worth the effort to recruit? He passed the eighteenth floor, and it’s not worth the effort to recruit him? Well, Steward Xiao, Steward Fang, shouldn’t you also say that it’s only the eighteenth floor after all?”

Seeing Mo Zhi Jiao’s rage, Steward Xiao and Steward Fang didn’t dare to say anything anymore.

At this point, they didn’t just not dare to speak up, but they also had nothing to say.

If they still looked down on the eighteenth floor at this point, then throughout the history of Beishan Main City, only Huang Taiji had passed the eighteenth floor!

Seeing Mo Zhi Jiao so angry, Steward Xiao had no choice but to step up with a bitter expression, “Teacher-in-charge, this Yang Chen is so powerful, so demonic… In my opinion, he cannot stay.”

Hearing Steward Xiao’s words, Steward Xu sneered, and Mo Zhi Jiao became even angrier, shouting, “What, you mean to kill him?”

“I think that would be best. If Yang Chen is allowed to develop freely, it will be a disaster for our Beishan Main City,” Steward Xiao said.

“Disaster? You… How stupid is your head?” Mo Zhi Jiao couldn’t help but swear, “Even if Yang Chen is allowed to develop well, what do you think he would do to our Beishan Main City? Don’t you know whether our Beishan Main City’s position as the number one seat in North Mountain County is stable or not? No matter how strong Yang Chen becomes, can he dare to destroy our Beishan Main City?”

No one would dare do that, because their Beishan Main City was an Imperial Power.

Some people dared to suppress the main city forces, but absolutely no one dared to annihilate them.

“This…” Steward Xiao was left speechless for a moment.

Mo Zhi Jiao yelled, “And kill him? Heh, you think Yuanshan Sect is stupid? Do you think you can kill him? Aren’t you afraid that Yuanshan Sect will fight you to the death? At that time, do you say it was Steward Xiao who killed him? Or was it Steward Fang who killed him? Huh? If anyone is willing to stand up and be the scapegoat, I can kill Yang Chen any time!”

Hearing this, Steward Xiao and the other deacons dared not speak up.

Mo Zhi Jiao coldly swept his gaze over them, “Now, Yang Chen can only be befriended and not offended. Also, Steward Xiao, Steward Fang, both of you will have half of your monthly income cut. Don’t ask me why. Weren’t you two very arrogant just now?!”

“Teacher-in-charge, this can’t happen, please reconsider!”

“Yes, teacher-in-charge. This is absolutely unacceptable.”

Steward Xiao and Steward Fang were both completely alarmed.

They never thought that their punishment for targeting Yang Chen, a young boy, would anger Mo Zhi Jiao to the point of cutting their monthly income in half. This concerned their interests, and wasn’t protecting these interests the main reason they targeted Yang Chen in the first place?

For a moment, both Steward Xiao and Steward Fang felt like their hearts were bleeding.

It’s like the saying goes, the chosen bird gets shot. Mo Zhi Jiao had completely used them as scapegoats.

Now they regretted it. If they had known it would come to this, why would they have targeted Yang Chen in the first place?

Why not just let him enter Beishan Main City?
