At this moment, the entire hall turned deathly silent as everyone stared at the head on the ground…
The Palace Lord had been killed!
Furthermore, when they looked at the other four, they realized that the four elders had been slain as well!
All it took was a single move!
F*ck!
Who would believe this scene if they were to tell others?
However, the evidence was right in front of them!
At this moment, who would dare to oppose Ye Chen?
Lu Linfeng and Lu Hanshuang lowered their heads. Zhan Tao’s hideous head was just laying there on the ground, in plain sight.
Honestly, after killing so many people, they were desensitized to such bloody scenes. However, for some reason, that primal fear in their hearts had been reignited by this scene.
Zhan Tao was dead! The elders of Xuemei Palace were all dead!
At this moment, the remaining dozens of people were all looking in fear at the young man not far away.
What the f*ck were they supposed to do now?
They were not on the same level at all!
Lu Hanshuang raised her head with difficulty and looked at Ye Chen. Although he still looked exactly the same, his shadow seemed to tower over here and everyone else like a giant.
At this moment, Ye Chen had stabbed the Dragonslayer Sword into the ground and was holding onto it with his right hand to support his body.
He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although he had successfully killed Zhan Tao and the elders of Xuemei Palace, he had also suffered serious injuries, and it even felt like his body was going to break down at any moment now.
Right now, there was not even a single trace of true qi in his dantian!
His body was on the verge of collapse, and a strong sense of exhaustion assaulted him. If he relaxed, or allowed the pain and exhaustion to overcome him, he would definitely fall unconscious.
This sword move had consumed every ounce of power he had!
His hand that was holding the Dragonslayer Sword moved down slightly, and his fingers brushed across the sharp edge of the sword. Unprotected by true qi, this drew blood from his fingers.
The pain from the wound made him sober up a little.
Then, Ye Chen raised his head, and his deathly cold gaze swept across the crowd. He said word by word, “Who else wants a piece of me? Step forward!”
His voice echoed throughout the hall like rolling thunder, and it was laced with killing intent.
For three whole seconds, no one dared to speak, let alone make a move.
“From today onwards, Xuemei Palace no longer exists. Do you have any objections? If so, step forward,” Ye Chen continued.
It seemed that the storied history of Xuemei Palace would be put to rest eternally by this young man.
None of the assassins from Xuemei Palace dared object. Who would dare to provoke this demon?
Three seconds later, Ye Chen uttered his third statement.
“Right now, you have two options! First, death! Second, submit! Make your choice now!”
It was like a bomb had exploded in the hearts of these assassins.
This was not a choice!
It was simply a blatant threat!
Although Ye Chen had lost his strength and was like an arrow at the end of its flight, he firmly believed that this group of people would make the right choice.
Of course, if they did not know what was good for them and attacked him, he naturally had a way to wipe them out.
One second passed, then two seconds, yet no one had uttered a single word.
Finally, when the third second passed, Lu Lingfeng stepped forward and over Zhan Tao’s head!
Plop!
He knelt down on one knee!
“Lingfeng of Xuemei Palace greets the Palace Lord!”
Zhan Tao had died, so the position of Palace Lord of Xuemei Palace was now vacant. Naturally, Ye Chen would replace him and become the new Palace Lord!
This was how the law of the jungle worked!
Not only that, Lu Lingfeng was also very clear that he had missed countless opportunities to befriend Ye Chen since meeting him in Jiangnan Province.
Ye Chen’s growth speed was too fast, and was now a big shot. Lu Lingfeng also knew that this growth would not stop anytime soon.
If he did not board this ship now, he would regret it for the rest of his life!
Therefore, at this moment, he resolutely knelt down and submitted.
After Lu Lingfeng knelt down, Lu Hanshuang also reacted. She understood what her father wanted to do. Her father must have seen through Ye Chen’s physical condition. If they did not declare their allegiance now, would there ever be another chance?
Plop!
Lu Hanshuang also knelt down.
Everyone looked at each other. A few seconds later, more figures knelt down.
Plop!
Plop!
“Greetings, Palace Lord!”
Their voices shook the hall. In any case, they were just tools used by Xuemei Palace, and to be honest, being used by Ye Chen would be no different from being used by Zhan Tao.
At this moment, their utmost priority was to survive!
Moreover, given Ye Chen’s strength and age, he was undoubtedly more qualified to lead Xuemei Palace than Zhan Tao. Under his leadership, Xuemei Palace might be able to reach the peak of Huaxia’s martials arts world!
Only three people did not kneel down. Their eyes were filled with hesitation and hatred.
“This kid is already exhausted, why should we kneel?”
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them rushed toward Ye Chen!
However, before they could even get close to Ye Chen, Lu Hanshuang and Lu Lingfeng had already charged forward to meet them, unleashing their attacks at the trio.
“How dare you disrespect the Palace Lord!”
Furthermore, two other experts from Xuemei Palace also rushed over!
Soon, blood splattered on the ground and the heads of those final three people were cut off!
The people who had attacked the three were quite shrewd. If they did not show goodwill to the Palace Lord now, when would they?
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. His body had already recovered a little. He glanced at the crowd.
“Since you’ve acknowledged me as the Palace Lord, from today onward, you’re no longer assassins, but my men! You won’t have to kill people in order to make a living anymore, and you will be able to enjoy a prosperous future. Also, prove your loyalty to me and I will give you the opportunity to reach the peak of Huaxia!”
“However, if you betray me, I can destroy your souls no matter where or how far you hide!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen took a step forward, and the blood dragon let out a deafening roar as it appeared directly behind Ye Chen, coiling around his body!
It looked ferocious, majestic and bloodthirsty!
At this moment, Ye Chen was like a peerless immortal guarded by a divine dragon. His body emitted a red light, creating a mark in everyone’s hearts.
At this moment, all that was left in their hearts was fear!
“From today onwards, Lingfeng will be temporarily in charge. If you disobey him, I will kill you! I’ll think of a way to rebuild Xuemei Palace during the next few days and also change how it operates.”
“Finally, you must not reveal what happened today to anyone. If anyone violates this rule, they will have to bear the consequences of their actions themselves!”
“Lingfeng and Lu Hanshuang, stay here. The rest of you, leave this hall!”
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the crowd dispersed!
In just five seconds, only Ye Chen, Lingfeng, and Lu Hanshuang were left in the hall.
The moment the doors of the hall closed, Ye Chen could not hold on any longer. The Dragonslayer Sword fell to the ground and his body crumpled to the ground.
