The golden-armoured man pondered for a moment and said, “The Third Hall Master colluded with the Evil Dao Hall and plotted rebellion, which warrants execution by the crime. But considering he is still a member of the divine hall, today I can give him a chance. He need only cripple his own cultivation to serve as a warning to others.
As for you two from the Evil Dao Hall, leave the Divine King’s Palace immediately and never set foot within half a step of it again. Otherwise, do not blame the Divine King’s Palace for being unforgiving.”
Upon hearing this, the Third Hall Master’s face turned extremely pale.
Cripple his own cultivation?
This was more painful than killing him.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms, yet he felt nothing.
The Witch Prince and the Great Elder exchanged a glance, their eyes showing hesitation.
They knew that if they did not agree to the golden-armoured man’s conditions, they would likely not escape unscathed today.
The scene fell silent once more, with everyone waiting for the decision from the Third Hall Master and the others.
The oppressive aura in the void grew even heavier, as if a storm was about to arrive.
………………
In the void passage!
Chen Ping held the Slaying Dragon Sword and had long forgotten about time and space!
In his eyes, there were only those countless fire meteors; with every sword strike, thousands upon thousands of fire meteors turned into brilliant fireworks.
The man watched those fire meteors shooting out from the Land of No Extinction, transforming into streams of fireworks under Chen Ping’s long sword, and he could not help but feel somewhat shocked.
No one knew how much time had passed before the fire meteors finally ended.
Chen Ping returned to the man’s side; at this moment, Chen Ping’s aura had undergone a massive change, and his entire body was now enveloped in a golden glow.
“Senior, can I leave here now?”
Chen Ping asked the man.
“Of course you can…” The man looked at Chen Ping and smiled slightly.
“Thank you, Senior…”
Chen Ping happily cupped his hands in thanks.
But at this cupping of hands, the man suddenly frowned, and then his eyes fixed dead on Chen Ping’s hand!
Seeing this, Chen Ping felt puzzled and did not understand what the other was looking at!
“What is on your hand?”
The man became somewhat agitated and grabbed Chen Ping’s hand as he asked.
“Nothing?” Chen Ping spread his hand open; there was nothing in it.
“I mean, is that the Heavenly Dragon Ring you are wearing on your hand?”
The man stared fixedly at the ring on Chen Ping’s hand and asked.
“Yes, this is what my father left me…” Chen Ping nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked excitedly, “Senior, do you recognise this ring?”
Ever since arriving in the Heavenly Realm, Chen Ping had not encountered a single branch of the Heavenly Dragon Hall.
So for such a long time, Chen Ping had thought there were no Heavenly Dragon Hall branches in the Heavenly Realm; perhaps the remaining ones were in other worlds or places he had not discovered.
But now, the person before him suddenly recognised the Heavenly Dragon Ring on his hand, so he might be from the Heavenly Dragon Hall.
“This subordinate, Wan Jian Xing, pays respects to the Hall Master…”
The man suddenly knelt before Chen Ping, his face full of agitation as he said.
“You are a member of the Heavenly Dragon Hall?” Chen Ping suppressed his excited mood and asked.
“Indeed, this subordinate is a member of the Heavenly Dragon Hall.”
Wan Jian Xing nodded.
“That is wonderful; please rise quickly…”
Chen Ping helped Wan Jian Xing up: “In that case, does that mean the entire divine hall is under my command?”
“Of course; the divine hall was founded by me single-handedly, so naturally it is also under the Hall Master’s command.”
Wan Jian Xing nodded!
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nearly fainted and could not help but sigh, “Ah…”
“Hall Master, may I ask why you sigh?” Wan Jian Xing asked!
He did not know about the conflict Chen Ping had with the divine hall, nor that several hall masters of the divine hall had been killed by Chen Ping.
Now, it seemed that those Chen Ping had killed were his own subordinates.
“Do not call me Hall Master; just call me Chen Ping. I am merely sighing at how unpredictable the world is; I never expected the divine hall to be my own force.”
Chen Ping said helplessly.
