Chapter 199 Exiled
Suddenly a middle-aged man appeared in front of them . No one was able to see how he had appeared .
“Greetings sect leader . ” Elder Sun was given a fright and hastily bowed . Following him, the others also quickly bowed .
All the new disciples were shocked . This was their Xuantian Monastery’s sect leader, a top expert of legends .
Long Chen’s heart was also moved . Looking at Ling Yun-zi, he was shocked to find that although he was standing right there, his Spiritual Strength was unable to feel his presence .
That was like he was just an empty image . He was unable to sense his cultivation base . It was like he had already merged with all of heaven and earth .
“What a terrifying cultivation base…” Long Chen was completely shocked . Of all the experts he had ever seen, other than that Spirit World’s forest divinity, Ling Yun-zi was definitely the strongest .
Ling Yun-zi nodded . Looking over everyone, he smiled, “Your actions just now are useless . The monastery’s rules were set by the ancestors and cannot be changed . Even I am unable to change them . If you think you can threaten the monastery like this, you are wrong . Even if you all leave the monastery, the monastery’s rules cannot be changed . ”
Tang Wan-er and the others’ expressions all changed . Even the sect leader was unable to change the rules . Then didn’t that mean that it was already set in stone that Long Chen would be expelled?
Long Chen looked at the people supporting him . “I appreciate all your good intentions . But I will accept the consequences of my own actions . And there’s no need to be so sad . It’s not like I’m dying . Even if I won’t be in the Xuantian Monastery, I’ll still grow on my own . ”
“Long Chen…” Tang Wan-er’s voice shuddered .
Long Chen waved his hand, cutting her off . “We’re all no longer children . Don’t let your emotions control you . You all had your own reasons for coming to the monastery, so don’t mess around like an angry kid . ”
Tears covered Tang Wan-er’s face as she lightly sobbed . The others also found this unacceptable, but now it seemed Long Chen would definitely be expelled .
As for the distant Gu Yang and then, they naturally sneered . Elder Sun also sighed in relief . If Long Chen wasn’t expelled, he wouldn’t be able to carry out his scheme .
Admiration appeared in Ling Yun-zi’s eyes as he looked at Long Chen . “In accordance to the monastery’s rules, Long Chen, you have two options . One is to be expelled, and the other is to be exiled . ”
“Exiled?” Long Chen was startled, never having heard of this second option .
“Correct . The monastery’s rules are favored towards the strong, so there is still a chance for you to stay in the monastery . It is up to you,” said Ling Yun-zi .
“I suppose this exile is not something so simple, am I right?” asked Long Chen .
“Of course . This so-called exile is for core disciples who have violated the rules . They will be sent to a rubble wasteland tens of thousands of miles from the monastery . Let me warn you, that is the territory of third rank Magical Beasts . There are even fourth rank Magical beasts there,” solemnly explained Ling Yun-zi .
Everyone’s heart shook . Third rank Magical Beasts? Wasn’t that just forfeiting their lives? And you might even encounter a fourth rank Magical Beast? Just how many people were even capable of defeating third rank Magical Beasts?
Fourth rank Magical Beasts were on the same level as the Bone Forging Elders! Wasn’t choosing exile just choosing death?
At least if you were expelled you could keep your life . If you were exiled there, there was no way you could survive .
“Has there ever been anyone who has chosen exile?” Long Chen asked after a moment of thought .
“There has . Ever since the monastery was established, there has been a total of one hundred and seventy-three people who have chosen exile,” answered Ling Yun-zi .
“Then how many people succeeded?” Long Chen was more concerned with the pa.s.s rate .
“It’s very regretful, but not one has ever returned alive . ”
“What?!”
Everyone beside Long Chen let out a startled exclamation . So in thousands of years, there were over a hundred core disciples who had chosen exile, and not one of them had returned alive?! That was not a slim chance, but essentially no chance!
“Long Chen, don’t do it . That’s just a path to death!” urged Tang Wan-er .
Long Chen smiled and consoled her, “Don’t worry . ”
Turning to Ling Yun-zi, he said, “Many thanks sect leader . Disciple chooses exile . ”
Everyone was stunned . Was Long Chen really a madman? That was clearly a road to death .
But then thinking about everything Long Chen had done in the monastery, it seemed he had never done anything the normal way .
He dared take action in a fighting-forbidden region, fighting with law enforcers, cursing an Elder . Were those things a normal person would do?
“Hahaha, good . Return and make your preparations . Three days later, you will be exiled to that rubble wasteland . ”
Ling Yun-zi laughed and his body faded away just like in front of everyone’s eyes . It was just like when he had arrived; no one could see how he left .
Elder Sun then announced the rankings . Gu Yang’s faction was originally number two, but after stealing their flags, he had immediately became number one .
Second and third place were Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin’s factions . The two of them had evenly split Ye Zhiqiu’s faction’s flags .
As for fourth place, that went to the last person who had awakened his ancestral mark, Guan Wennan .
