"Since Chief Wu has spoken, as a junior, I naturally have to obey."
Tan Yun said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
He tightly gripped the disciple with his left hand, suddenly raising his left arm high and slamming the disciple onto the summit!
"Bang—Crack!"
The disciple was face down as he crashed down.
"Tan Yun, you are seeking death!" The beast spirit practitioner was furious.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
In an instant, dozens of disciples from the Beast Spirit Lineage surrounded Tan Yun. At that moment, Tan Yun executed primordial divine step, charging towards one of the disciples!
"Crack!"
"Thud!"
Tan Yun’s powerful physique deliberately collided with the disciple’s right shoulder, instantly causing the disciple's shoulder to explode, blood spraying everywhere, his body flipping like a cannonball and flying toward the crowd of Danmai disciples thirty zhang away!
"Whoosh!"
Before he could land, Tan Yun’s figure flashed back in front of the Danmai disciples, his right foot suddenly kicking down at the fallen disciple’s right leg!
"Crack!"
The severed leg flew through the air, the disciple screamed in agony, flying back another several dozen zhang, landing in front of the Beast Spirit Lineage disciples.
"Huff! Huff!"
At this moment, Tan Yun feigned exhaustion, his face filled with pain, trembling as he sat cross-legged, appearing as if he was adjusting his breath.
The disciples of the Beast Spirit Lineage glared angrily at Tan Yun; if looks could kill, he would have died tens of thousands of times!
"Sovereign, take a look..." The beast spirit practitioner, filled with righteous indignation, turned to Dantai Xuanzhong, hoping he would uphold justice. However, Dantai Xuanzhong delivered another resounding slap to the beast spirit practitioner's old face!
"Wu Hong, this sovereign sees that you are truly getting old, forgetting even the most basic sect rules!"
Dantai Xuanzhong shot a cold glance at the beast spirit practitioner who was at a loss, then turned to the third elder of the Beast Spirit Lineage, saying, "Changqing, you have been an elder in the Beast Spirit Lineage for the longest time; effective immediately, you are the chief of the Inner Sect Beast Spirit Lineage."
"After the nine meridians grand competition concludes, this sovereign will send someone to notify you of your position as chief of the Holy Gate Beast Spirit Lineage."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hong was filled with terror.
In contrast, the third elder Shi Changqing, an octogenarian, hurriedly bowed his head, excitedly exclaiming, "Your subordinate thanks the sovereign for the honor!"
"Um, rise." After allowing Shi Changqing to stand, Dantai Xuanzhong added, "You tell Wu Hong why this sovereign struck him again."
"Yes, sovereign." Shi Changqing respectfully replied, "The sect rules state that one must not insult disciples from other lineages without cause. Those who insult, abuse, or provoke others, if retaliated against by the provoked party and seriously injured, as long as no fatalities occur, are innocent."
"And Wu Hong has already broken this rule once; you previously said that if it happens again, he will bear the consequences."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hong trembled in fear, regretting his past actions!
"Wu Hong, from now on you will be the third elder of the Beast Spirit Lineage; if you continue to disregard the sect rules, you will be killed without mercy!" Dantai Xuanzhong said coldly.
"Thank you, sovereign, for your grace; your subordinate understands and acknowledges my mistake." Wu Hong bowed tremblingly.
"Alright, rise." After allowing Wu Hong to stand, Dantai Xuanzhong once again looked towards Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2, his authoritative voice resounding, "During the nine meridians grand competition, no one is to provoke trouble; kill without mercy!"
"The defending the arena battle continues."
At this moment, aside from Shen Subing and Shi Changqing, the other seven chiefs sat on pins and needles, their minds racing through the sect rules to avoid following in Wu Hong's footsteps.
