Ming Youxuan's face became uneasy. From how Xiao Chen acted, it seemed like he would not give up until the end. If he did not speak, Xiao Chen probably would not let the matter go so easily.
"Ming Youxuan, why don't you tell the truth!" Xue Sha furiously cried out in a deep voice when he saw Ming Youxuan remain silent and frown slightly. A ferocious killing intent flashed across his eyes.
"Lieutenant Xue Sha, there's no need to rush. Let the master of the Nether Soul Hall think it through," Xiao Chen smiled faintly after gesturing for Xue Sha to calm down. He was not in a hurry.
Xiao Chen's current cultivation was not particularly powerful. It was only below average in the Saints' World, so now was not the time to truly reorganize the Nether Soul Hall. There was no need to push him too hard. After all, even a rabbit would bite when forced into a corner.
No one present dared to speak. As Ming Youxuan fell silent, the entire place fell into a temporary silence once more.
Looking at the silent Ming Youxuan, Xiao Chen placed his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Master of the Nether Soul Hall, I don't care who ordered you to do this. I just want to know who gave them the liquid today. I don't want to drag too many people into this. Perhaps that person can admit it themselves."
"It was Old Man who gave it to them. You can do whatever you want with it, young hall master," an elder behind Ming Youxuan said at this moment. He looked at Xiao Chen fearlessly.
"Grand elder …" Ming Youxuan's face changed slightly when he saw the old man admit it. He glanced back.
The reason why Ming Youxuan remained silent was because he feared the grand elder, so he did not know what to say. However, Ming Youxuan had never thought that the grand elder would admit it himself.
The grand elder of the Nether Soul Hall was a seventh grade alchemist. His status was extremely great even across the Saints' World. Even Saint Emperors needed to show him some respect.
"Young hall master, he's the grand elder of the Nether Soul Hall, Su Ran. He's a seventh grade alchemist," Xue Sha said politely from one side.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly with that. He also looked at Su Ran. After a simple glance, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Since the grand elder has admitted it himself, I won't pursue the responsibility of the others. However, as the hall master, he needs to be punished more or less."
Ming Youxuan's face changed slightly when he heard Xiao Chen's words. An undetectable killing intent flashed through his eyes as he immediately became furious. He had never think that Xiao Chen would show him no respect like that.
Ming Youxuan was the grand elder of the Nether Soul Hall, no matter what. was he still the young hall master's's's's's? After all, the Nether Youxuan, the Nether Soul hall master. However, the fact that Xiao Chen had announced the punishment in front of everyone was enough to shock them.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen continued, "Grand Elder, you ignored this young master's order. You should be charged with the crime of offending your superiors, which is punishable by death, but since you're a senior and a seventh grade alchemist, I'll punish you by prohibiting you from refining pills for a year."
As soon as Xiao Chen's words fell, the faces of everyone in the Nether Soul Temple changed drastically.
Prohibited from refining pills for a year? Didn't that mean the entire Nether Soul Temple would not be able to obtain high grade pills for cultivation? What was the difference between this and punishing everyone?
No matter how unhappy they were, no one dared to speak at this moment, let alone protest.
Su Ran's face twitched slightly. His expression was extremely ugly at this moment, but he did not dare to say anything. If he refuted, Xiao Chen would charge him with the crime of offending his superiors, and the consequences would be different.
Xiao Chen glanced at Su Ran indifferently, completely ignoring Su Ran's ugly face, and asked indifferently, "Does Grand Elder have any objections? Can you accept such a punishment? "
"Young Master, Grand Elder is the only alchemist in the Nether Soul Temple. Young Master's punishment involves the entire Nether Soul Temple. Don't you think it's a little too much?" Ming Youxuan's face was also extremely ugly. He could not help but speak with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Now you know how to consider your feelings? Why didn't you consider my feelings at the beginning? "Xiao Chen asked coldly, frowning slightly and a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Chen stared at Ming Youxuan fiercely. After pondering for a while, he continued, "Master of the Nether Spirit Temple, you are the master of the Nether Spirit Temple. If you hadn't agreed, the Great Elder wouldn't have given them the Spirit Liquid. Therefore, you will be punished. I will punish you by prohibiting you from cultivating for a year. If you make any progress in your cultivation during this year, I will arrange another punishment for you."
"What? I can't cultivate for a year? "Ming Youxuan's face changed again, somewhat unable to believe his ears.
"Hiss …"
The other guards also gasped in shock at this moment, and then there was an uproar. Xiao Chen actually punished Ming Youxuan by prohibiting him from cultivating for a year!
Everyone in the Nether Soul Temple knew that Ming Youxuan was cultivating like crazy every day in order to break through to the late-stage Holy Land. Now that Xiao Chen said that he would not be allowed to cultivate, wouldn't that be worse than taking his life?
Domain Leader Xue Sha's fierce eyes swept over, and everyone lowered their heads in horror and instantly shut their mouths.
Ming Youxuan's shocked and angry face became even gloomier. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, I … I'm not far from breaking through to the late-stage Holy Land. I'm afraid Old Man can't accept the young master's punishment."
Breaking through to the late-stage Holy Emperor would also make Ming Youxuan stronger. He couldn't accept that he had to stop cultivating for a year. In a year, Ming Youxuan might be able to break through to the late-stage Holy Emperor Realm.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen shrugged indifferently and said indifferently, "It's your business whether you can accept it or not. You can ignore this young master's order again, but don't regret it when the time comes."
"Humph! This old man is going to find Great Elder and make things clear! "Ming Youxuan snorted coldly in rage.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen spread his hands and smiled faintly, "Not to mention that Great Elder Lin isn't here, even if he is, it won't change your punishment. I will punish whoever goes against me. Since you are willing to listen to Great Elder Lin's order and go against me, then I will settle the score with you."
"Xiao Chen! Don't go too far! "Ming Youxuan's face twitched violently, and he shouted angrily, directly calling Xiao Chen's name.
"Ming Youxuan, do you want to offend your superior? Don't forget that the young master's position is above that of Great Elder! " Ming Youxuan's disrespect towards Xiao Chen immediately made Xue Sha, who was beside Xiao Chen, gloomy. Xue Sha said coldly, and a biting cold murderous aura spread out.
"You!" Ming Youxuan's cold eyes glared at Xue Sha. His face was extremely gloomy, but he couldn't refute. He couldn't bear the crime of offending his superior.
At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely strange, and the smell of gunpowder had begun to fill the air.
"Lord of the Nether Soul Temple and everyone else, I'm sure you've heard about what happened to me. I'm not afraid to tell you that I, Xiao Chen, am a very vengeful person. If anyone has the guts to challenge me, feel free to try. Dominating Soul Temple doesn't lack one or two experts. If you want, you can leave at any time. I won't stop you. You can go wherever you want. I can find someone to replace you at any time, including you, Lord of the Nether Soul Temple." Xiao Chen's indifferent face didn't change at all. He completely ignored Ming Youxuan's gloomy face. However, his voice also became cold.
After a slight pause, Xiao Chen continued coldly, "It doesn't seem difficult for Dominating Soul Temple to cultivate a Saint Emperor. Also, I'll say the ugly words first. Dominating Soul Temple will be cleaning up some people soon. As for where you stand, think about it."
His cold voice and domineering words exploded in the ears of the people of Nether Soul Temple like thunder. Many people paled in fright and felt a chill in their hearts.
"How dare you!" Ming Youxuan's face was red with rage. He gritted his teeth and wanted to explode, but he didn't dare. The sullenness in his heart spread throughout his body, making him feel worse than death. He wanted to vent his anger immediately.
"Master of Nether Soul Temple, you're quite bold. How dare you disrespect the young master? Are you not satisfied with the young master's punishment? Do you need me to do it myself? "At this moment, an extremely cold and murderous voice sounded.
The sudden cold voice made the thousands of guards tremble in fear. Even Ming Youxuan and the elders' faces changed drastically at this moment. Their faces were filled with fear, and the murderous aura made them break out in cold sweat.
"Saint Soul Great Protector!" Ming Youxuan cried out involuntarily, his eyes wide with fear. He was extremely shocked.
"The Saint Soul Protector of Dominating Soul Temple's Master!" The elders also said in a trembling voice. Obviously, they were extremely afraid of the Saint Soul Protector.
Ten silhouettes silently appeared in the sky above the Nether Spirit Temple. Then, they gently landed behind Xiao Chen and respectfully greeted him, "Young master."
"It's really the ten Saint Soul Protectors! Why did they appear? I haven't seen them for tens of thousands of years! They're the most mysterious experts of Dominating Soul Temple! Apart from Dominating Soul Temple's Master, no one has the right to question them. They all secretly help Dominating Soul Temple's Master solve some mysterious matters. They also have the right to kill anyone without reporting to Dominating Soul Temple's Master, "Ming Youxuan said in a trembling voice as he looked at Leng Huang and the others.
When he saw Leng Huang and the others' respectful attitude towards Xiao Chen, Ming Youxuan was even more shocked. His previous anger was completely extinguished by cold sweat at this moment.
The elders were pale and powerless. They swallowed with great difficulty. They were so frightened that they couldn't speak. Even their breathing had almost stopped.
"Could it be that the Saint Soul Protectors have already taken orders from …" After being shocked for a long time, his heart suddenly moved. His face turned even paler, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Master of Nether Soul Temple, Great Elder Su, are you satisfied with this young master's punishment now?" Xiao Chen asked with a faint smile as he looked indifferently at Ming Youxuan.
Seeing the terrified eyes of Ming Youxuan and the others, as well as their pale faces, Xiao Chen was also secretly shocked by the terror of the ten Saint Soul Protectors. As soon as they appeared, they were already scared out of their wits.
"I'm satisfied! I'm satisfied! " Ming Youxuan and Su Ran both nodded in horror like chickens pecking at rice. They didn't dare to say a word.
