Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: The Lord of the Ice Realm’s Standards

In the next instant, all the disciples felt as if they had been granted amnesty.

They scattered like birds and beasts, as if fleeing for their lives.

The farce ended with the disgraceful retreat of the disciples from Chi Yin Palace.

"Haha, Brother Jiang, this way please," Venerable Qu Xin forced a smile and continued to lead the way.

Acting as if nothing had just happened.

However, Brother Cheng was not satisfied.

He genuinely wanted to kill that group of disciples earlier.

But with the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer standing by, even a divine soul attack wouldn’t work.

That really annoyed him.

What did it mean, just disperse and it’s over?

Had all his scolding just been for nothing?

So, he turned around directly and flew toward the direction outside the mountain gate.

Qu Xin hastily followed: "Brother Jiang, why... we’ve just arrived, why are you heading back?"

Brother Cheng turned around, sizing up this performer.

"I see your disciples don’t welcome me either. Forget it, I won’t be the unwelcome guest, farewell, farewell!"

Venerable Qu Xin became anxious.

If you leave, wouldn’t the plan to seize the Heavenly Dao fall apart?

"Brother Jiang is joking! How could you possibly be an unwelcome guest?"

He deliberately downplayed it: "Those disciples are just immature; you are the dignified Lord of the Ice Realm, why be angry with them?"

The implication being, your outlook is not grand enough!

With this reverse psychology, anyone else might have been at a loss for words.

Too bad he encountered Brother Cheng, who doesn’t play by the rules.

"Well said!"

Brother Cheng even clapped his hands.

Then his face suddenly turned solemn.

"So, you know I’m the Lord of the Ice Realm?"

Venerable Qu Xin pondered if he had said something wrong.

Why did Brother Cheng suddenly seem intent on making trouble?

"Master Jiang, what do you mean by this? Your identity as the Ice Realm’s Lord is now known worldwide!"

"Is that so? Then where are the people welcoming me?"

Brother Cheng’s face turned cold, a look of displeasure.

"I, the dignified Lord of the Ice Realm, am paying a friendly visit to your small sect."

"Saying it illuminates you is not an exaggeration, right? Having a grand welcome ceremony is quite normal, isn’t it?"

"And how did you handle it?"

He glanced at the silent mountain gate, "You even deliberately withdrew everyone?"

"What, should I sneak in before coming in?"

"Is this how your Chi Yin Palace treats guests? I bet any little sect in the Lower Realm is more professional than you!"

Professional, my foot!

Venerable Qu Xin wished he could cut him down with a sword.

You killed so many of us, the whole sect hates you to the bone, and yet you want a welcoming ceremony?

Speaking of which, shouldn’t you also have some self-awareness?

"Brother Jiang is jesting, come, come, please..."

"What’s there to ask? If your Celestial Venerable doesn’t come out to greet me personally, and if your other disciples don’t line up to welcome, Brother Cheng won’t enter."

If the disciples of Chi Yin Palace hadn’t made a scene earlier, Jiang Cheng wouldn’t have brought this up.

But now...

Anyway, Brother Cheng naturally cares about spectacle and actually insisted on it.

"The Lord of the Ice Realm should have the specifications of the Lord of the Ice Realm!"

"As the Lord of the Ice Realm, I cannot let the Ice Realm be shamed!"

Seeing Brother Cheng genuinely playing it serious, Venerable Qu Xin was utterly distressed.

Hurriedly stopped him again, then sent a message into the sect.

The Celestial Venerable Mieyang and others waiting inside didn’t even need a message to see what was happening outside.

The high-ranking Protectors and Elders were almost furious.

"Where does he get the nerve?"

"I greet him? Damn it, what a cursed thing!"

"Is this guy looking to die?"

"Who does he think he is, demanding us to greet him personally?"

"Celestial Venerable, why not just kill him!" freewёbnoνel.com

"Exactly, since he’s here, kill him and end it!"

Celestial Venerable Mieyang shook his head.

"The Heavenly Dao reigns supreme above all!"

"Now the other 2996 True Realms have yet to arrive; if we wait for all of them, our chances are slim."

"We must not miss this divine opportunity."

Once we grasp the Heavenly Dao, anything can be said; we can destroy whoever we want.

"Small impatience disrupts great plans!"

"But..."

Surrounding Protectors and Elders still couldn’t accept.

"He’s our enemy who killed so many high-ranking members; sneaking him in was already bad enough."

"Going out to greet him ostentatiously, what does that make us?"

"If word spreads, Chi Yin Palace will become a laughing stock..."

"Sect disciples will surely hold grudges against us."

These consequences weren’t lost on Celestial Venerable Mieyang.

He had deliberately withdrawn all the Mountain Guard Disciples today to keep things low-key.

But again, it’s the Heavenly Dao above all.

In the face of mastering the Heavenly Dao, everything else must take a back seat.

"Arrange the disciples!"

"Follow me out to greet!"

He almost shouted this with killing intent.

And with his order, Chi Yin Palace was in an uproar.

Particularly the group of disciples who had just cursed Brother Cheng were thunderstruck.

"What?"

"We actually have to line up to welcome him?"

"What kind of joke is this?"

"Not killing him was good enough, and now we have to greet him, why?"

Earlier they’d pointed and cursed at Brother Cheng.

Now they’re expected to run out as a backdrop, shouting, welcome, welcome?

How on Earth do they deal with this?

It’s completely making their faces sting with slaps!

Nobody can accept this.

"We’re not going!"

"Exactly, we refuse to go, whoever wants to, can!"

"This person killed our sect’s high-ranking members, he’s an enemy, how can we flatter an enemy like this?"

"Exactly, the high-ranking members should capture and kill this person..."

"Enough!"

The elder delivering the order’s face turned livid.

They didn’t want it either, but...

"This is the Celestial Venerable’s order, who dares defy?"

"Anyone who defies will be deemed a traitor to the sect!"

The moment these words were spoken, all disciples were silenced.

Chi Yin Palace’s rules are strict; any member deemed a traitor will have their cultivation abolished.

In the True Realm, being stripped of cultivation is equivalent to executing a death sentence.

Every disciple was filled with stifled anger and resentment.

Before, you told us to form a group to scold Jiang Cheng, and now you’re telling us to welcome him.

Do you think we don’t care about face?

They could only think this in their hearts.

The sect is also a place that values strength, with the Celestial Venerable speaking, who dares not obey?

Thus, barely a quarter-hour later, the whole atmosphere of Chi Yin Palace had changed.

Gongs and drums resounded, colorful flags fluttered, and all kinds of True Artifacts and arrays displayed effects all around, creating an incredibly festive atmosphere.

Flowers clustered in the sky, auspicious beasts and birds competed. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Celestial Venerable Mieyang led a group of Protectors and Emperor Realm Eighth Layer Elders out to greet.

As soon as they saw Brother Cheng, they all wore beaming smiles, enthusiastically welcoming.

"The arrival of the Lord of the Ice Realm truly makes our Chi Yin Palace shine!"

"Inside, please, inside, please!"

Everyone acted as if unaware of the previous farce.
