Chapter 665 Punishmen (1/2)

As the experience in the Mythic Utopia came to an end, news of the final result had also spread throughout almost all of the Shengzhou Continent in just a few days of time. After all, the partic.i.p.ants included almost all the outstanding talents of the younger generation of Cangxuan Heaven.

Being able to stand out in a compet.i.tion of this level was enough to ill.u.s.trate one’s talent. In time, people who stood out might become one of the renowned top experts of Cangxuan Heaven.

It was just that the results surprised everybody.

After all, the Sacred Palace was at the peak of its power, and all these years, they had always been called the leader of the numerous sects of Cangxuan Heaven, whether it was based on the sect’s strength or the talent of their younger generation.

In the past, it was the Sacred Palace that had repeatedly taken the top spot and had the most dazzling performance in the Mythic Utopia.

But this time, the result was different. The Cangxuan Sect, which the Sacred Palace had always suppressed, had turned the tides, defeated the Sacred Palace, and won the greatest opportunity in the Mythic Utopia.

This result, no doubt, drew countless exclamations.

And the details about what happened in the Mythic Utopia also gradually spread out.

Thus, many forces learnt that the decisive factor in the Cangxuan Sect’s comeback was not a Chosen but a chief disciple called Zhou Yuan!

And the three Chosen of the Sacred Palace who lost their lives, including Jin Chanzi, were killed by this chief disciple.

Such an accomplishment was so dazzling that it made countless people flabbergasted.

Evidently, no one thought the person who would stand out from the Mythic Utopia would be neither Jiang Taishen, who was ranked first on the Chosen List, nor Chu Qing, who was ranked second on the list, but an unknown little chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect.

However, everyone also knew that after such a performance, Zhou Yuan would no longer be a chief disciple after he returned to the Cangxuan Sect.

The Cangxuan Sect was indeed worthy of being called Cangxuan Heaven’s first sect. Although it had deteriorated, its foundation still mustn’t be underestimated.

At the Sacred Palace.

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was cold and depressing.

Clad in a white robe, palace master Sheng Yuan sat at the top. His silver eyes, without the slightest rippling of emotion, peered down at the many Sacred Palace disciples kneeling in silence.

In front of these disciples were Jiang Taishen and Zhan Taiqing.

All of them were disciples who had partic.i.p.ated in the Mythic Utopia.

“You all have let me down,” palace master Sheng Yuan said after a long period of silence.

Many disciples were quivering, and Jiang Taishen and Zhan Taiqing also hung their heads low.

“My Sacred Palace had started small and had eventually managed to kick the Cangxuan Sect off the first position of the Cangxuan Heaven and replaced them. Even old ancestor Cangxuan, a top expert of the world, had died in the hands of my Sacred Palace,” palace master Sheng Yuan’s indifferent voice reverberated throughout the s.p.a.cious and grand hall.

“My Sacred Palace didn’t lose to the Cangxuan Sect back then, and we had suppressed the Cangxuan Sect for many years, but you lost to them in the Mythic Utopia!” Palace master Sheng Yuan continued, “Is it because the Sacred Palace allowed you to live too comfortably?”

No one dared to answer.

Palace master Sheng Yuan waved his hand. “All the disciples who partic.i.p.ated in the Mythic Utopia will receive the punishment of one hundred sacred whips.”

The Sacred Palace disciples inside the hall instantly turned deathly pale. The so-called sacred whip was one of the Sacred Palace’s punishments, which lashed the spirit. Every strike of the whip was extremely painful.

If lashed a hundred times, anybody with a slightly weaker spirit would most likely have their spirit destroyed. The punishment was very harsh.

“Jiang Taishen, Zhan Taiqing, as the leader of the disciples you should be held responsible. Both of you will receive five hundred lashes,” palace master Sheng Yuan said indifferently, his silver eyes peering down at the two figures in the front. “Do you have any objections?”

Jiang Taishen and Zhan Taiqing each drew a deep breath and nodded without arguing back. They knew that they wouldn’t be able to escape punishment after the defeat. Moreover, if they were to show the slightest resistance, there could be a more devastating punishment waiting for them.

Although palace master Sheng Yuan was seemingly calm, he presumably was furious inside.
