Xiao Chen was usually a very easy-going person and had never lost his temper in the Wuchen Sacred Hall. This was the first time the elders had seen Xiao Chen in a rage.
The cold air in the hall was oppressive. Naturally, the cold air came from Xiao Chen. After shouting angrily, he looked at the elders who were kneeling respectfully on the ground. Only then did the anger in his heart gradually dissipate.
He knew that these elders were only afraid of the Xiao Clan and that they hadn't done anything wrong, but Xiao Chen was still angry. As elders of the Sacred Palace, why did they have to care about the Xiao Clan's feelings?
As Xiao Chen had said, this was the Sacred Palace, the Wuchen Sacred Hall, and it had nothing to do with the Xiao Clan.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, "Alright, get up."
Half of the elders of the Wuchen Sacred Hall were old acquaintances with Xiao Chen. Even if they didn't know each other, they had seen each other before. Now that they were all kneeling respectfully in front of him, Xiao Chen didn't feel good.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the elders stood up, but they still kept their heads down and didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen said angrily.
"Why are you all lowering your heads? As elders of the Wuchen Sacred Hall, all of you are like frosted eggplants. Do you only know how to keep quiet when something happens? Now that something has happened, it's time to think of a solution, not silence. "
With that, Xiao Chen asked the elders to raise their heads. Then, Xiao Chen continued.
"Tell me, how many disciples do we have in the Wuchen Sacred Hall, how many came in through connections, and how many came in through the Xiao Clan's connections."
To be honest, Xiao Chen only had a general understanding of the situation in the Wuchen Sacred Hall. It couldn't be helped. Xiao Chen didn't spend much time in the Sacred Palace and basically left all the matters of the Wuchen Sacred Hall to the elders present. To put it bluntly, Xiao Chen was a hands-off boss.
In response to Xiao Chen's question, an elder on the left side of Xiao Chen quickly stepped forward. He was the Grand Elder of the Wuchen Sacred Hall and was a half-step Saint. His name was Chen Mo and he was personally promoted by Xiao Chen.
Chen Mo stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Chen before saying, "Successor, there are a total of 12,000 disciples in the Wuchen Sacred Hall. Among them, 10,000 are core disciples, 1780 are core disciples, 200 are personal disciples, and 10 are prospective successors. There are 584 disciples who didn't take the test, and 210 of them are related to the Xiao Clan."
Hearing Chen Mo's reply, the anger in Xiao Chen's heart burned even more. Just the number of people who were related to the Xiao family had reached two hundred and ten. It seemed that Chen Ling's estimate of more than a hundred people last night was still too low.
"More than five hundred people didn't pass the test. Good, very good. It seems that my Wuchen Temple has become a gathering camp for these rich young masters." Xiao Chen was so angry that he laughed and said with a sneer.
Chen Mo didn't say anything when he heard Xiao Chen's words. He just stood there silently.
After forcefully suppressing his anger, Xiao Chen looked at Chen Mo and said, "Pass down my orders. All the disciples of the Wuchen Sacred Hall will undergo the test again in three days. From prospective successors to ordinary disciples, everyone must participate. Anyone who doesn't participate will automatically be considered as having forfeited and will be expelled from the Wuchen Sacred Hall and the Sacred Palace."
All the disciples of the Wuchen Sacred Hall would undergo the test again. All the elders present were stunned when they heard this. The Successor was going to kill them.
While all the elders were stunned, Xiao Chen continued, "In addition, all those who didn't pass the test and entered the Wuchen Sacred Hall will be disqualified and expelled from the Wuchen Sacred Hall and the Sacred Palace. The Grand Elder will personally supervise this matter. These black sheep must be expelled from the Sacred Palace within three days."
The five hundred and forty-eight disciples who entered the Sacred Palace through connections didn't even have the right to take the test. The elders were even more shocked when they heard this. At this point, anyone could tell that Xiao Chen was really angry this time.
However, Chen Mo had no choice but to brace himself in the face of Xiao Chen's anger. "Successor, what about the Xiao Clan's main disciples? Are they the same? "
Chen Mo had to ask clearly about the Xiao Clan's main disciples. After all, they were all Xiao Chen's clansmen.
Xiao Chen's face darkened when he heard Chen Mo's words. He said coldly, "Grand Elder, didn't you hear me clearly? I said that all those who didn't participate in the test and entered the Wuchen Sacred Hall will be expelled, regardless of their identity. Do you understand? "
"I understand." Chen Mo nodded. He sighed inwardly. That was good. As long as he had Xiao Chen's words, he wouldn't have any other concerns.
Xiao Chen had gathered all the elders here to talk about this matter. Xiao Chen immediately looked at everyone and said, "Go. Prepare for the test in three days. After three days, everyone in the Wuchen Sacred Hall will be tested again and the disciples will be divided again."
With that, Xiao Chen stood up and disappeared from the hall. Only with Xiao Chen's departure did the elders breathe a long sigh of relief.
After all these years of growth, Xiao Chen was still young, but the oppressive power he exuded made the Half-saint Elders feel a lingering fear. In addition, Xiao Chen's strength was no weaker than a Half-saint, so the oppressive power he exuded was naturally even stronger.
Now that Xiao Chen had left, the elders walked out of the hall together. As the Great Elder, Chen Mo was naturally surrounded by a lot of people, and many of them were asking him questions.
"Grand Elder, the Chosen Saint's actions this time will probably cause great waves in the Wuchen Sacred Hall."
"That's right. Grand Elder, do you think the Chosen Saint is truly angry this time? He showed no mercy to the members of the Xiao clan. "
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Just do your best. The Chosen Saint didn't blame us this time, but if something like this happens again in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape punishment even though we're half-Saint elders," Chen Mo said indifferently in response to everyone's questions.
He could understand Xiao Chen. How could someone like Xiao Chen allow a few rats to spoil the entire pot of soup that was the Wuchen Sacred Hall? Therefore, even if it was the members of the Xiao clan, Xiao Chen wouldn't show any mercy.
The elders went off to make preparations. At the same time, Xiao Chen, who had returned to the cave, went directly to the courtyard where his parents were. Seeing that Qin Shuirou and the other girls were there, Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief and said to An Lan and Lu Zhu, "Fei Rufei and Fei Ru come back.
I'll personally deal with the matters of the Xiao clan. "
Xiao Chen knew that Fei Mei and the other three girls had gone there under Bai Ruyue's orders. Their purpose was to warn the Xiao Clan not to go overboard. However, in Xiao Chen's opinion, this was no longer necessary. He had to deal with the Xiao Clan's matters himself.
