With that, two violet-robed guards immediately flew towards Jianchen emotionlessly.
On the stage, Donglin Yan Xue sighed gently. She looked at the violet-robed guards that approached Jianchen and felt powerless.
Although she was one of the five candidates and possessed a certain level of status in the Radiant Saint Hall, she really was unable to help Jianchen at a time like this.
"It's over, it's over. Second senior brother, what do we do?" Beside Jianchen, Bai Yu was filled with worry. She was extremely worried about Jianchen's fate.
As the disciple of an elder, she knew all the rules of the Radiant Saint Hall extremely well. She understood just how sacred the sacred hall was. Trespassing without permission was definitely a great crime, and the consequences would be extremely severe.
"Hmph. Chang Yang, even if you don't die outside, I definitely won't let you have an easy time in the future. And who knows what the people in the clan are doing. Didn't they say they've already sent experts to kill Chang Yang? Why is he still alive? "Gyeonshin sneered in the crowd as a cold light flashed through his eyes.
"This disciple called Chang Yang is in big trouble now …"
"A mere disciple with a one-colored soulcore dares to trespass into the sacred hall. He's blaspheming the sacred hall …"
"Let alone him, even the lord of the Soaring Clouds Peak probably won't be able to avoid punishment …"
"This is a lesson for us. We have to watch over our disciples strictly after we return, just in case disaster befalls us in the future and we get dragged down by our disciples …"
…
At the same time, all the Radiant Godkings gathered there whispered to one another secretly as they discussed the matter.
At this moment, the two violet-robed guards had already arrived before Jianchen. A thick chain had appeared in their hands.
The chain was forged from a special metal, and it was engraved with layers of formations. Once bound by the chain, not only would it seal up the person's cultivation, but it would also become extremely heavy, making it difficult for the person to move.
Only people who had committed great crimes in the Radiant Saint Hall could receive such punishment.
"Hold on!" Just when the two guards were about to bind Jianchen with the chain, Jianchen suddenly called out. He stared at elder Mu Zhong calmly and said loudly, "Elder Mu Zhong, may I ask why you've determined that I've trespassed on the sacred hall and want to arrest me?"
"You've trespassed on the sacred hall without the permission of any elders. It's a great crime," elder Mu Zhong said.
"In other words, I need the permission of an elder to enter the sacred hall. Even my medallion doesn't have the right to let me in? Or in other words, the authority granted by my medallion isn't as great as the authority granted by the elders? " Jianchen said loudly. Afterwards, with a flip of his hand, he took out the medallion Xuan Zhan had given him and raised it high above his head.
When elder Mu Zhong saw the medallion that represented the vice-leader in Jianchen's hand, his old body immediately trembled. His eyes suddenly narrowed as he became shocked.
"That's the vice-leader's medallion …"
"It's vice-leader Xuan Zhan …"
"How is this possible? Why does he have vice-leader Xuan Zhan's medallion? What's his relationship with vice-leader Xuan Zhan …"
"He's a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore, and he's completely unknown. Why does he have vice-leader Xuan Zhan's medallion …"
Not only was elder Mu Zhong shocked the moment he saw the medallion in Jianchen's hand, but even the expressions of the other elders changed. They were filled with disbelief.
As for the Divine King below the stage, they stopped discussing secretly at that moment. They all stared at the medallion that represented the vice-leader in Jianchen's hand. Their expressions changed rapidly.
Donglin Yan Xue's eyes were filled with a strange light as well. She stared at the medallion in Jianchen's hand without blinking at all. A smear of blankness appeared on her alluring face as well as some doubt and confusion.
She was filled with many questions the moment she saw the medallion. Since Chang Yang possessed the vice-leader's medallion, he definitely had quite a deep relationship with the vice-leader. If he wanted to enter the Tower of Radiance, he could have just told the vice-leader.
Although the conditions for entering the Tower of Radiance were very harsh, it was only a matter of a single sentence for the vice-leader to make an exception for a disciple with his authority. However, why did Chang Yang offer up an extremely precious puresoul and go through so much trouble to become her ninth retainer so that he could enter the Tower of Radiance?
Suddenly, Donglin Yan Xue discovered that she seemed to have completely lost track of Chang Yang's intentions.
"Yan Xue, do you still not understand? Chang Yang wants to become your ninth retainer because he wants to get close to you on purpose," Yan Xue's master, Mu Shui, seemed to have seen through everything. She said to Donglin Yan Xue secretly.
Donglin Yan Xue carefully thought back to how she had met Chang Yang. She did not miss out on a single detail. In the end, she shook her head gently, "No, master. Chang Yang shouldn't be someone like that."
"I won't say too much about that. You're naturally intelligent, so you can judge for yourself," said Mu Shui. Afterwards, she paused and continued, "However, since Chang Yang possesses vice-leader Xuan Zhan's medallion, it means that vice-leader Xuan Zhan is supporting him. As a result, his status in the Radiant Saint Hall is no weaker than yours. It might even surpass yours."
"Out of the eight vice-leaders, vice-leader Xuan Zhan is the most powerful. The other seven vice-leaders all have to show some respect to vice-leader Xuan Zhan. As a result, if vice-leader Xuan Zhan is supporting Chang Yang, there's basically no one who would dare to provoke him in the Radiant Saint Hall."
Mu Shui explained to Donglin Yan Xue. Her intentions were rather thought-provoking.
Donglin Yan Xue remained silent. She looked at Jianchen, who stood in the crowd, with mixed feelings. At that moment, she could not help but doubt Jianchen's true intentions. Was he really trying to get close to her like her master had said?
After all, she was the prodigy of the Radiant Saint Hall. There were countless people who pursued her, so she had already become accustomed to it. However, was Chang Yang one of them?
Gyeonshin's face immediately became extremely ugly in the crowd, while Bai Yu, who stood beside Jianchen, was stunned and excited.
On the stage, elder Mu Zhong glanced at Jianchen deeply. With his strength, he could naturally tell with a single glance that Jianchen's medallion was real. The two violet-robed guards backed off obediently after Jianchen showed them the vice-leader's medallion.
This was because the elders did not have the right to judge the people with the vice-leader's medallion, so elder Mu Zhong's orders naturally did not apply.
"Since you possess the vice-leader's medallion, you obviously have the right to enter the sacred hall," elder Mu Zhong said to Chang Yang. Afterwards, he looked around and continued, "Let's move on to the final protector." Elder Mu Zhong paused there, "After careful consideration by Old Man, the final protector will be chosen by the Broken Blade Peak …" Just when elder Mu Zhong was about to announce the final protector, his voice came to a halt.
Soon after, an extremely rare expression of respect was revealed on his elderly face, while extreme astonishment quickly surfaced in his elderly eyes.
