In midair, an infinite amount of array carvings formed into a shocking heavenly array. Its power was enough to shake the earth and the sky.
This stunned everyone. Even the three most influential figures were shocked.
For one, this array was out of the ordinary. Even a force like Mount Meru cannot ignore it. For two, this array originated from what they thought was a useless rock.
A piece of useless rock actually contained such a Divine Formation. Naturally, everyone was shocked.
"Impossible! There was only one array, how could there be another one? "
The leader of the Wen Clan shouted, disbelief was written all over his face.
He was the one who tampered with this strange rock. Naturally, he was certain that there was only one array. Yet before his eyes, a heavenly array appeared. How could he accept this?
Not only him, but everyone who thought it was a useless rock couldn't accept this.
"The reality is before us. Even a real immortal cannot deny it, let alone you."
Ling Xian glared at him, silencing him. Silencing everyone as well.
He was right. The reality was before them and nobody could deny it!
Therefore, everyone felt their faces burning and they wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Even the leaders of the four great clans were a little ashamed.
Only the three leaders weren't ashamed. However, they were a little surprised.
Though they could tell that there was a treasure inside this rock, they didn't think it would be such a powerful heavenly array.
"Dammit, you tampered with it!" The leader of the Wen Clan shouted.
"You are the one who tampered with it."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "If you still care about your face, then stop acting like a thief."
Hearing this, the leader of the Wen Clan was about to explode from anger but he had nothing to say.
Everyone could tell that someone had tampered with this rock. Or else how could there be an array inside?
After hearing what Ling Xian said, everyone understood. The way they looked at the leader of the Wen Clan was full of disdain.
"Now, tell me, is this a useless rock or a gem?"
Ling Xian's gaze was deep as he stared at Wen Longhai.
"You!"
Wen Longhai gritted his teeth. He felt like he was slapped in the face and extremely humiliated.
But he had nothing to say.
Everyone else felt the same way.
Although this divine array could not be shifted, as long as the rock was thrown out, it would immediately explode with terrifying power. Even if it could not threaten a level-eight cultivator, it would be enough to kill a level-seven cultivator.
How could something that could kill a cultivator of the Seventh Realm not be a treasure? Even in the eyes of Realm Eight powerhouses, this was a treasure.
"If you don't say anything, it means you agree."
Ling Xian glared at Wen Longhai, "Tell me again. Am I the one who has lost all face, or is it you who has lost all face?"
Hearing this, Wen Longhai felt even more humiliated. He wanted to cut Ling Xian into pieces.
However, he still had nothing to say.
He swore that it was a useless rock, but the reality was that it contained a heavenly array. Not only did he lose face, but he also lost face for the Wen Clan.
"I've said it before. You'll pick up a rock only to smash your own foot.
Ling Xian said emotionlessly, making Wen Longhai's entire body shake with anger. He was about to go insane.
It was the same for the head of the Wen Clan.
He stared deadly at Ling Xian. Other than hatred, there was killer's intent.
"Don't look at me like that."
Ling Xian's expression turned cold, "You have lost this bet."
"You!"
The leader of the Wen Clan was enraged. He hissed, "Young man, don't be too cocky. This will do you no good."
"Are you threatening me?"
Ling Xian smiled, "I don't want to waste time with you. End your own life."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards Wen Longhai, "And you, cut off your arm."
Hearing this, the two of them were enraged. The leader of the Wen Clan, in particular, was green in the face.
"What, you want to go back on your word?"
Ling Xian's smile disappeared, "Breaking a promise before everyone's eyes … you have lost all face for the Wen Clan."
"Dammit!"
The leader of the Wen Clan gritted his teeth and wanted to tear Ling Xian into pieces. Especially after sensing everyone's disdainful stares, he was about to go insane.
At this moment, he regretted. He regretted provoking Ling Xian.
Sadly, it was too late.
He could only fall into a dilemma. He couldn't advance nor could he retreat.
"I don't have time to waste with you. Hurry up and make a decision."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless, "Do you want face, or do you want your life?"
Hearing this, the leader of the Wen Clan tightened his fists and remained silent.
It was far too difficult to make a decision. If he breaks the promise, he will never be able to lift his head again. But if he does what he promised, he will lose his life.
"I … I want my life."
The leader of the Wen Clan uttered out a statement with difficulty. Then, as if all the energy in his body was sucked out, he appeared exhausted.
"The leader of the Wen Clan broke the promise. How despicable."
"He has lost all face for the Wen Clan."
"How sad. If the ancestor of the Wen Clan knew about this, he would die from anger again."
Everyone chimed in. Other than disdain in their voices, there was only disdain.
Though if they were in his shoes, they would choose their lives as well. But this didn't stop them from looking down on the leader of the Wen Clan. "You … Retch …"
The leader of the Wen Clan puked out a mouthful of fresh blood. His anger boiled and his killer's intent boiled.
"What? You can do it, but we can't look down on you?"
Someone coldly snickered, "Pfft, who do you think you are!"
Hearing this, the leader of the Wen Clan puked out another mouthful of blood. He pointed at everyone but couldn't say a single word.
"So you chose your life …"
Ling Xian softly grinned, "But, can you escape?"
"What do you mean?!" The leader of the Wen Clan stared deadly at Ling Xian.
"Nothing. I just want to tell you that the Wen Clan will be changing its leader."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips, "You have lost all face for the Wen Clan. Do you think the Wen Clan will allow you to continue being the leader?"
Hearing this, the leader of the Wen Clan's expression changed. Then, his eyes dimmed.
Ling Xian was right. The Wen Clan will not allow him to continue being the leader. Even if the elders agree, the majority of the Wen Clan won't agree.
In other words, though he kept his life, he lost his future and lost his glory.
"Live out your days in this world."
Ling Xian felt far too lazy to waste any more time with this person. He shifted his gaze towards Wen Longhai, "What's your decision?"
"I …"
Wen Longhai hesitated, not knowing what to do.
"If you want to keep your current position, then fulfill the promise we made."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "The Wen Clan will not tolerate a leader who has lost all face, and they will not tolerate a descendant who has lost all face."
"You … you are right. I choose to cut off my arm." Wen Longhai gritted his teeth.
Compared to the throne of the strongest descendant, an arm was nothing.
"Correct decision." Ling Xian smiled.
Hearing this, Wen Longhai clenched his teeth and prepared to cut off his left arm.
However, Ling Xian stopped him.
His smile turned cold, "Cutting off your arm does not count."
Then, he pointed out a finger and sliced off Wen Longhai's right arm.
Fresh blood splattered and screams of agony shot through the clouds. Wen Longhai held onto his wound, his face was twisted in pain and he was sweating profusely.
"Remember today's lesson. If you provoke me again, it won't be as simple as losing an arm."
Ling Xian spoke, silencing the entire place. Even a needle drop could be heard.
