"Now, Eternal Blossom Sect Leader, I extend the same offer to you. Choose, will you accept the treasure and my control over you or will you sacrifice both of your disciples?"
Chen Lao questioned with a clever smile while the Eternal Blossom Sect Leader had a conflicted expression on his face.
He pondered on the choice before yelling out his answer: "I refuse! I'll choose death if it means I can escape a life of humiliation and slavery. My disciples will surely understand my decision. Go ahead kill us all"
Determination reflected in his voice that showed his resolve. For him, his honor was more important than even his own life.
Chen Lao nodded in understanding as he gestured the elder to proceed.
The elder, receiving his signal, conjured a sword made of blood in his hand before slicing the head of one of the protagonists.
Spurt!
Thud!
His blood flowed out like a fountain before the elder let his corpse fall on the ground with a thud.
"AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr!"
The other Protagonist who was alive, screamed in horror witnessing this cruel death of his rival.
He knew that he was next.
"No, Please No!
Master, Master, Please save me, I don't want to die!"
He pleaded while looking at his master.
Chen Lao, trying his luck, asked: "I ask you once again. You can change your mind even now, at least one of them will live"
The Eternal Blossom Sect Leader had tears flowing down his cheeks with his eyes turning red as he gritted his teeth and answered: "Shut up and just kill me. I will not become your slave!"
"As you wish!" Chen Lao just shrugged at his words before gesturing for the other elder to proceed.
At this moment, Eternal Blossom Sect's sect Leader who was overcome by grief yelled at him: "You Bastard, Kill Me. Why aren't you killing me?"
Chen Lao, looked at him with anger-filled eyes as he scolded: "Shut up! Can't you see I'm talking here? I'll kill you whenever I want, Do I need you to tell me what to do?"
"So Feng Xue, what is your decision?" He once again asked.
Since her turn was after two sect Leaders, she had already made her decision.
"I accept. Both my disciples are too talented to die here. If I can save them, then I will" Feng Xue answered with determination.
Chen laughed as he praised: "Hahaha, Feng Xue, Well said. It seems that Ashen's test to choose their master was worth it. You didn't abandon your disciples after all!"
He gestured for the elder to bring the insect here.
The elder rushed over as he fed her the insect.
Since she knew about the pain that was going to come, Feng Xue didn't scream and endured the pain.
At this moment, Chen Lu's voice reached his ears: "Sect Leader, This Ashen was trying to take something out of his space ring. Please decide his punishment for this audacity!"
Chen Lao looked over as he witnessed Chen Lu holding Ashen's hand with a space ring on it.
Chen Lao transmitted his voice to Chen Lu carrying his instructions: "Bring that space ring here, Let me see just what was he trying to take out!"
Chen Lu called one elder and handed Ashen's space ring to him which was then handed to Chen Lao.
"I'll check it later!" Saying that, he handed that space ring to the elder who was carrying the insect since he was closest to him.
The elder kept the ring with him safely before taking out another insect.
Chen Lao, then looked at Peak Master Xia as he asked: "Peak Master Xia, what is your answer? Will you save your disciple or not?"
