"Chen … Pavilion Master, please get up and come with us. It won't be good if we accidentally break your little arms and legs." Sun Ming and the other seventh level Foundation Realm cultivator walked up to Chen Zong with sneers on their faces. The two beautiful girls immediately fled in panic.
"Actually, as a member of the Clear Cloud Pavilion, just do your part well and the Blue Cloud Sect won't forget you. If there is a chance, you can truly become a part of the Blue Cloud Sect." Chen Zong stood up and calmly spoke. His expression was calm, and there was no trace of nervousness or fear on his face.
Sun Ming sneered and said, "Hehe, who do you think you are? A mere brat like you thinks you can represent the Blue Cloud Sect?"
"Stop talking nonsense and surrender, or else you'll have to bear the consequences." The other seventh level Foundation Realm cultivator sneered. He directly reached out and grabbed Chen Zong's shoulder like a tiger. The tiger claw was filled with terrifying true energy and could easily crush steel.
The acting pavilion master Lin Gu and the three elders all sneered. The other pavilion members naturally wouldn't stop them. From the beginning, they were all on Lin Gu and the three elders' side.
Here, Chen Zong was alone and helpless.
Yes, on the surface, Chen Zong was indeed alone and helpless, but he still had his sword.
With his sword in hand, he could make the world his enemy. So what?
Chen Zong didn't dodge the tiger claw and his shoulder was directly grabbed. The person's face was filled with a grin. He wanted to give Chen Zong a taste of his power, but he found that his tiger claw was blocked by a powerful force. He couldn't move Chen Zong at all.
With a bang, the seventh level Foundation Realm cultivator flew out and coughed out blood.
The sudden turn of events caused everyone to be shocked. Sun Ming immediately attacked as well. He punched out mercilessly towards Chen Zong's chest. A sword light flashed in front of his eyes. Sun Ming only felt an extremely shocking sharpness piercing through the air and directly sending him flying. An intense pain of his body being torn apart swept through his entire body.
"Bastard!" The Second Elder, Wang Yuan, was furious. He jumped up and raised his palm like a knife. His Genuine Qi surged and condensed into a knife light, which cut the air. In a flash, it cut a dozen meters away and slashed toward Chen Zong.
Chen Zong could feel the overwhelming power and murderous intent contained in this strike.
Lin Gu, the First Elder, and the Third Elder had no intention of stopping him. Clearly, they had already decided to kill Chen Zong here. As for the rest, they would deal with it later.
In an instant, Chen Zong understood his opponent's plan. Since that was the case, there was no need to hold back.
The Great White Sword was unsheathed, but the blade was nowhere to be seen. All that was left was a white sword light that pierced through the air.
Second Elder Wang Yuan's cultivation was at the mid stage of the ninth level of the Foundation Realm. His high-grade mortal saber art was at the peak of the large success stage. When he used his full strength, his power was not weak.
Even so, he was no match for Chen Zong's sword.
The saber light was instantly pierced through and shattered. The sword also pierced through Wang Yuan's throat, coming out from the back of his neck.
"Big Brother!" Wang Han roared in shock. His eyes were red and his face was ferocious. He leaped forward and pounced. His seemingly fat body displayed astonishing agility and power. He crossed his arms and his entire body was like a meteorite as he ruthlessly smashed towards Chen Zong. He wanted to smash Chen Zong into pieces.
Wang Han's cultivation was the same as Wang Yuan's. They were both at the mid stage of the ninth level of the Foundation Realm. His full strength attack was even more terrifying.
A shocking pressure surged out, and the table in front of Chen Zong cracked and shattered. Cracks appeared on the ground around him, and the pillar behind him cracked.
Chen Zong didn't move at all and slashed out with his sword.
The white sword light was like a bird flapping its wings. In an instant, it tore through Wang Han's Genuine Qi and pierced through his round body.
Wang Han's body paused in the air and fell before Chen Zong. His life force had been extinguished.
In just a few breaths of time, Wang Yuan and Wang Han both died. They were both at the mid stage of the ninth level of the Foundation Realm, but when they used their full strength, they couldn't even block one strike from Chen Zong.
At this moment, Lin Gu and Lin Zhengyi's hearts sank and a chill emerged from the depths of their hearts.
Only now did they realize that they had all underestimated Chen Zong.
To be able to kill a mid stage ninth level Foundation Realm cultivator with one strike, his strength was very terrifying. Even among the Blue Cloud Sect's inner sect disciples, he was definitely one of the top. He was someone that the Blue Cloud Sect valued.
Thinking about this, Lin Gu and Lin Zhengyi's hearts sank even more. They felt even more uneasy.
How could they touch a disciple that was valued by the Sect?
As long as something happened, the Sect would immediately send someone to investigate. At that time, how could they hide it?
Thinking about this, Lin Gu and Lin Zhengyi felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
After Chen Zong killed Wang Yuan and Wang Han, his sharp gaze swept past Lin Gu and Lin Zhengyi. Then he slashed out with his sword. The sword light split into two and flew by like two white birds. It was so fast that Lin Gu and Lin Zhengyi didn't even have time to react.
The two of them only felt a sharp pain in their ears that quickly spread. The sword light disappeared and a red dot appeared on their earlobes.
In other words, if Chen Zong wanted to kill them, that sword strike from before was sufficient to kill them all in an instant before they could even react.
Thinking about this, Lin Gu and Lin Zhengyi's bodies trembled. Their faces turned pale and their hearts palpitated.
Lin Gu and Lin Zhengyi's cultivation levels were both higher than Wang Yuan and Wang Han's. One was at the late stage of the 9th layer of the Foundation Realm, while the other was at the peak of the 9th layer of the Foundation Realm. However, they only cultivated high-grade mortal martial arts, so they couldn't compare to Chen Zong.
Chen Zong's cultivation was at the peak of the early stage of the 9th layer of the Foundation Realm, but he cultivated a top-quality mortal cultivation method. Adding on the top-quality mortal sword intent, even if he didn't use his full strength, his power was still very terrifying.
Killing them would only take a single thought. The reason he didn't kill them was because they still had some use.
Of course, if they weren't willing to cooperate, Chen Zong wouldn't mind killing them all. At most, he would just have to spend some effort to promote some people.
"The Sect has appointed me as the Pavilion Master. Do you have any objections?" Chen Zong sheathed his white sword and walked up to Lin Gu. His tone was indifferent, but there was an indescribable aura to it.
Although he was staring at Lin Gu, his question was also directed at everyone in the hall.
"I …" Lin Gu opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. This contrast was completely different from what he expected. The impact was too big, so he couldn't react.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master." Lin Zhengyi quickly reacted and saluted.
In the Clear Cloud Pavilion, Lin Gu was the acting Pavilion Master, but he mostly listened to Lin Zhengyi's opinion.
Seeing Lin Zhengyi bow, although Lin Gu was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey. He was afraid he would be killed like Wang Yuan and Wang Han.
From Chen Zong's calm eyes, Lin Gu could see how decisive he was.
Seeing Lin Gu and Lin Zhengyi bow and call Chen Zong "Pavilion Master," the other members naturally didn't dare to be negligent. They also bowed and called him "Pavilion Master."
Among these members, aside from the acting Pavilion Master and the three elders, there were also a few 9th layer Foundation Realm cultivators. They were the main force of the Clear Cloud Pavilion.
"Everyone, rise." Chen Zong sat on the Pavilion Lord's seat, his aura was naturally dignified. Beneath his calm eyes was an extremely sharp gaze. He slowly swept his gaze across. "I know that you are only temporarily surrendering. Perhaps, you are still thinking about how to deal with me after this. It doesn't matter.
"We don't dare, we don't dare."
They all shouted. Of course, they were saying they didn't dare, but what they were thinking in their hearts was another matter.
"However, you all have to understand one thing." Chen Zong's eyes suddenly shot out an incomparably sharp light. It was like a sword being unsheathed. No one dared to look directly at him. Those with lower cultivation levels trembled. A cold voice came from Chen Zong's mouth. "When the time comes, I won't show any mercy."
Everyone's heart trembled. They only felt a chill pass through their bodies like a sharp blade, and a chill spread throughout their bodies.
Chen Zong waved his hand and told the higher-ups to stay. The rest of the members left.
"Let's talk about the current situation." Chen Zong said directly. Although he had done some research, it wasn't comprehensive enough. He needed a deeper understanding.
Under the pressure, Lin Zhengyi began to explain.
In addition to what Chen Zong knew, there were also things that Chen Zong didn't know.
Chen Zong didn't speak. He just listened. His mind was constantly turning. He was thinking about how to complete the Sect's mission in the shortest time possible, or even better.
In the end, this was just a mission. Chen Zong was only temporary as the Pavilion Master of the Clear Cloud Pavilion. It wouldn't last long.
Everyone left, leaving only Chen Zong alone in the main hall. He continued to think.
Compared to cultivation, Chen Zong didn't like to deal with this kind of thing. He wasn't good at it either. But now that he had accepted the mission from the Sect and was the Pavilion Master of the Clear Cloud Pavilion, he had to plan and complete the mission beautifully. Then, he would be qualified to become the fifth core disciple.
…
"Uncle, are we just going to give in like this?" Lin Gu was very unwilling to give up. His heart was filled with rage. Especially when he thought about how he had bowed down in front of Chen Zong today, he felt even more humiliated.
"We misjudged his strength." Lin Zhengyi's face was cold.
Previously, they thought that although Chen Zong was an inner sect disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect, no matter how strong he was, he wouldn't be a match for them. After all, he looked very young, probably around 15 or 16 years old. At best, he was at the seventh layer of the Foundation Realm. At most, he would be at the eighth layer of the Foundation Realm.
They didn't expect him to kill the Second Elder and Third Elder with one strike. Even the Head Elder, who was at the peak of the ninth layer of the Foundation Realm, couldn't resist.
Their misjudgment caused them to fall into a passive position.
"There are only three ways now." Lin Zhengyi's eyes lit up. "First, let go of the unwillingness in our hearts, respect him as the Pavilion Master, and listen to his orders. He is just a brat. So what if he is talented? Can he handle everything in the Clear Cloud Pavilion? When the time comes, he will still have to rely on us."
"Second, we pretend to be obedient. This can be considered an extension of the first method. We will force him to pay attention to us, and when the time comes, the power will return to our hands." Lin Zhengyi's eyes once again flickered with a shrewd light. Soon after, a trace of viciousness flashed across his face. "The third method is to ask your uncle to take action and directly suppress him."
