"W-What's going on? Why are the sect Leaders kneeling and who are those new king realm cultivators?" Veli was dumbfounded by the scene playing in front of her eyes. "Why is Brother Ashen sitting on the throne and how can he fly? Just what is going on?"
Ling Yun and Shiyue, both were also staring at the ring with wide-open eyes. They could see the despair on the Sect Leaders' faces and the amused expression Ashen had on his countenance.
But the question in their minds was 'how?'
How did this happen? Was Ashen really the mastermind behind this all?
They all were unaware of Ashen's Prince identity, so even Shiyue couldn't guess how Ashen acquired these four King realm experts and what his motive was.
From her point of view, she only knew that Ashen beca ruthless to her after she refused to fulfill her oath.
At this mont Chen Lu's voice reached everyone's ears.
"Everyone, I warn you to not even try to leave this arena. Your sect leaders' lives are at stake here, if you tried anything foolish, that would only lead to your and your sect's ruin!"
Chen Lu warned as instructed by Ashen.
The top five sect's elders who were only inford about the plan to acquire the four lower sects, didn't know what was going on.
What was this twist of fate?
They had only been instructed to close off the exits of the arena to not let anyone leave, but now that their sect leaders were apprehended they were planning to attack the Crimson Sky Sect and to stop these elders from doing anything foolish, this warning was necessary. -official
Hearing Chen Lu's warning, most of the elders stopped making sches to attack and decided to fully grasp the situation first.
Though they outnumbered them, the king realm experts were the ones who decided the outco of the battle and it was clear that they would lose in that.
And since they knew about the plan of acquiring the lower sects, they were aware that the four sect leaders who were kneeling without anyone apprehending them were already in the control of this mastermind.
At this mont, Ashen, with an indifferent expression, gazing down at the sect leaders, ordered Chen Lao: "Chen Lao, Let's not waste any ti. Make them ingest the Scarlet Mind Schine without any delay!"
Suggesting, an evil smile crept up on his face as he continued: "Ah, I have an idea. Bring all their disciples at the sa ti. We have already wasted enough ti, we can't go through them one by one like previously. If they don't agree to eat it then just kill their disciples!"
The five sect leaders' eyes widened in horror as they realized just how much of a difficult choice this is. Until now, they only witnessed the four lower sect Leaders making decisions and they didn't think that this would feel this terrible.
anwhile, the four lower sect Leaders had conflicted emotions.
"You deserve this, you bastards! Welco to our boat of slavery!" Liu Nutong cursed in his mind with a slightly amused smile. His disciples were alive and now, in so monts, the other sect leaders would also be in the sa situation as him.
Now, he didn't find his situation so miserable since all of them were there to accompany him.
Earth Root Sect Leader and Eternal Blossom Sect Leader also found so solace in the fact that these schers were getting the sa treatnt as what they made them go through.
Peak Master Xia and Feng Xue, both couldn't accept what was going on. Ashen was a prince, then what were his motives in joining the Phoenix Feather Sect like that?
Why was he pretending all this ti?
Was all this just to make the ten sects submit to him?
The more they thought about it, the more dangerous and formidable Ashen appeared to them.
While they were in their reverie, the Crimson Sky Sect's elders dragged two disciples from each sect onto the ring despite their struggles. These disciples had already seen what happens to the disciples who are dragged like this to the ring.
After dragging them, they made them kneel in front of their respective sect masters.
At this mont, the Shadow Veil Sect Leader and the Sword Shilla Sect Master shouted as they asked Chen Lao: "Chen Lao, what's the aning of this? Why have you brought disciples from my sect who aren't even my personal disciples? You even left two of my personal disciples and brought the third elder's disciple!"
This was because Ashen had instructed Chen Lao to only bring the protagonists. The ones who had been dragged here were all the protagonists.
As for what to tell the sect leaders, Ashen had already instructed Chen Lao.
Chen Lao scolded arrogantly, looking down on them through his nose: "What? Do you think you are in a position to question ? I'll bring out whoever I want. I know that these are the most talented disciples of your sect, so just be quiet and watch!"
Hearing that, the Sect Leaders were taken aback and could just grit their teeth in frustration.
Then Chen Lao announced: "I believe that you all are already familiar with the process, so let's not waste any ti and proceed. I'll countdown from ten to one and after the countdown is over, these disciples from your sects will die in front of your very own eyes. If you want to save them, just raise your hand and the elders from my sect will help you ingest the insect safely!"
"So then, let's start!"
"Ten!"
"W-Wait, at least give us so ti to think!" Thunder Peak Sect Leader requested.
"These ten seconds are already the ti I am giving you! You can think till the countdown is over. Aren't I quite generous?" Chen Lao said before continuing with the countdown.
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
As the countdown progressed, the tensed expression on the sect leaders' faces continued to grow.
One could feel the conflict that they were going through.
"Six!"
"Five!"
"Four!"
At this mont, the Shadow Veil Sect Leader raised his hand. The other sect leaders looked at him with bewildered expressions. He was the last person they expected to raise his hand, given the pride he had.
