Chapter 96: Asserting control!
“Yes, he is here and Feng Xue, You are all too familiar with him. Don’t you find the name Ashen familiar?”
Chen Lao looked at her with a knowing smile, waiting for her to realize and it didn’t take long before everyone’s head turned to the arena in a flash.
Their eyes widened in surprise as they witnessed Chen Lu kneeling beside Ashen and Ashen stood majestically with his hands clasped behind.
He looked towards them, giving them a smile as he said: “I’ve kept you all waiting… Sorry for the delay!”
Smiling at their shocked expressions of disbelief, Ashen elegantly clapped as if calling a maid for his service.
*Whoosh*
*Whoosh*
*Whoosh*
*Whoosh*
Just as his clapping sound resounded in the arena, four cultivators appeared behind four of the five top sect leaders at a terrifying speed, making them unable to react in time as the four cultivators placed their hands around their necks, apprehending them in a similar manner to the four lower sect leaders.
The four sect leaders who had been apprehended felt a stinging sensation emitting from the cultivator’s hands, making them realize that these cultivators only needed to emit a small amount of qi to slit their throats and take their lives.
Meanwhile, the sect leader of the Thunder Peak sect took some steps back in caution and surprise upon sensing the cultivation of these four new cultivators, they were all king realm experts.
However, the steps he took led him close to Chen Lao. A sinister smile crept upon Chen Lao’s face as he apprehended the Thunder Peak sect leader who had his back turned towards him.
Thunder Peak Sect Leader’s eyes widened as he looked towards Chen Lao who had apprehended him and asked: “S-Sect Leader Chen Lao, What are you doing? Let me go!”
Chen Lao shook his head, rejecting him: “Sorry Friend, I am also under his highness’ control. I have to obey him!”
Hearing those words, every sect leader’s eyes turned towards Ashen with shock and fear. Feng Xue was in disbelief even now, unable to even speak.
At this moment, Shadow Veil Sect’s Leader, who was considered the most intelligent among them, asked Chen Lao, looking to confirm his suspicions: “Chen Lao, If my suspicions are right, even these men who had apprehended us are his subordinates, Am I correct?”
Chen Lao nodded, affirming his doubts: “You are correct. Actually, you don’t even need to ask me for confirmation. I’ll tell you that everything that has happened and will happen in the future is all according to his wishes. Right now, you should worry about yourselves!”
At this moment, everyone’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief as they witnessed Ashen beginning to float above the ground, elevating in the sky, and, in no time, he floated in front of the Sect Leaders seating area.
“How is he flying? Only the cultivators who had reached the core formation realm can fly, does that mean he has been hiding his cultivation all this time? In reality, he is a core formation realm cultivator?” Though it was Peak Master Xia who expressed her shock like this, everyone who saw this, had the same reaction.
Ashen ignored their surprise as he coldly looked at them and ordered: “Take them to the ring and make them kneel. And Chen Lao, arrange a seat worthy of me!”
Chen Lao nodded as he gestured the elders of his sect to adhere, meanwhile, the four king realm experts expressed their acknowledgment: “Yes, Your Highness, As you command!”
Yelling that, they tightened their grip across the sect leaders’ necks and dragged them down to the arena.
Meanwhile, Chen Lao whispered to the remaining sect leaders: “You heard him, I advise you all to obey unless you want to experience hellish pain!”
Thunder Peak Sect’s Leader knew that he could only accept Chen Lao’s advice so he nodded as Chen Lao took him to the arena, following behind the other Sect Leaders.
The four remaining sect leaders who had already ingested the insect remained on their spots as they looked at the floating Ashen, who had a majestic aura around him.
Ashen also noticed them as he asked with an indifferent expression: “What? Conflicted about whether you should obey me or not? Don’t worry, I have the perfect solution to fade all your doubts! With this, You all will understand what you should do when I order something!”
Ashen revealed a menacing smile as he ordered: “So Listen, and listen well and good! I order you five to go on the ring and kneel on both of your knees!”
Saying that he fixed his gaze on the five of them, waiting for the show to begin.
“AAAAaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh!” Eternal Blossom Sect Master, who had lost two disciples was the first one to begin screaming in pain while holding his chest and head. He fell to the ground, wiggling on the ground in extreme pain.
“AAAAaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh!” Then, it was the Earth Root Sect leader who showed a similar reaction.
Like this, Next Liu Nutong and then Peak Master Xia wiggled on the ground screaming with contorted faces, showing just how much pain they were experiencing.
Feng Xue, on the other hand, obeyed him as she went to the ring and fell to both her knees with an indifferent expression, It was difficult to determine what she was feeling and what was going on in her mind at the moment.
“Make It stop, AAaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr, Please!” Liu Nutong let out his plead for mercy in between his screams.
Ashen smiled as he instructed: “You all just need to obey me and the pain will go away. It is just as Chen Lao explained previously, why are you all so dumb? Can’t you be intelligent like Feng Xue? See, she obeyed me without any questions!”
Hearing his instructions, The four of them decided to obey him, and as soon as the desire to obey him appeared in their mind, the pain went away.
They realized it as they stood up before leaving for the ring. After landing on the ring, they accompanied Feng Xue in kneeling.
Meanwhile, the four king realm experts had already made the sect Leaders who were in their grasps, kneel.
Ashen was satisfied and he soon noticed that his seating had also been prepared.
A golden throne with a dragon’s roaring face on the end of the arms. It was luxurious and wasn’t any less magnificent than a real kingdom’s throne.
Satisfied with the throne, Ashen landed in front of it and sat on it majestically.
Resting his head on his right hand, he revealed an evil smile before asking: “Shall I proceed with the ceremony of deciding your and your sect’s fates?”
With hopeless expressions, The sect Leaders looked at Ashen, finding their situations difficult to believe. In a small amount of time, everything changed. They were the ones who had the power to decide fates some moments ago, but now, their fates were all in this man’s hands who found this situation quite amusing.
