n.o.body had a clue what Elder Zhen Peng was up to, and they all looked in the direction the elder was flying. There, a young man could be seen coming out of a limit room and trying to sneak away. The young man was clearly Elder Zhen Peng's target.
”s.h.i.+t! Even after I did you a favor, you're still not willing to spare me?” the young man cursed to himself.
The young man was none other than Xiang Shaoyun. He had just come out of the sixth limit room. He planned to sneak off while Elder Zhen Peng was celebrating his breakthrough and had not expected to be caught. At present, Elder Zhen Peng was already before him, sealing his path of escape. Elder Zhen Peng was now a second-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator, and his new cultivation level granted him an incredibly fast movement speed.
”S-senior, w-what do you want? Fine, fine, I'll surrender,” Xiang Shaoyun, raising his hands, said nervously. He was scared the old man would kill him in a fit of anger.
Elder Zhen Peng's eyes rested on Xiang Shaoyun, a complicated expression on his face. He was conflicted about what he should do to this kid. At this moment, Yang Gaochuan, Qing Xiuhe, and the other elders arrived.
Yang Gaochuan quickly said, ”Elder Zhen Peng, please have mercy. I was the one who sent this child into the sixth limit room. He owns a five-star physique and has a bright future ahead of him.”
Yang Gaochuan was begging for leniency on behalf of Xiang Shaoyun as he believed that Elder Zhen Peng was blaming Xiang Shaoyun for disturbing his peace during breakthrough. Although the others did not know what had happened, when they heard Yang Gaochuan speaking for Xiang Shaoyun, they had their own guesses.
”Palace master, what is going on with Xiang Shaoyun? How can you allow him to enter Elder Zhen Peng's sixth limit room?” Qing Xiuhe asked probingly.
Yang Gaochuan replied, ”Now is not the time for that. Let's deal with this first.”
It was also at this time that Li Xuemeng suddenly shouted at Xiang Shaoyun from among the group of elders, ”Impudent! Xiang Shaoyun, quickly kneel down and apologize for your offense! Disturbing Elder Zhen Peng's breakthrough is a crime punishable by death!”
Li Xuemeng's words came at the perfect time to ignite the fury in all the other elders. It had always been a taboo to disturb someone's breakthrough, not to mention something as major as Elder Zhen Peng's ascension into the Skysoar Realm.
A single King Realm expert signified the prosperity of the Martial Hall Palace as a whole. If the breakthrough failed, Xiang Shaoyun would not be able to make up for it even if he was to die 10 times over, even if he had a five-star physique.
”For daring to disturb Elder Zhen Peng's breakthrough, this kid can't be spared!” said an elder.
”That's right. Regardless of why he was in the limit room, he can't be spared from punishment.”
”d.a.m.nable brat, does he really think he can do anything just because he has a five-star physique? I say we cripple his cultivation and expel him from the Martial Hall Palace!”
”I think we should just kill him to prevent future problems.”
...
A few elders echoed Li Xuemeng's sentiment. Some were close to Li Xuemeng while others were simply trying to get on Elder Zhen Peng's good side.
