You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

Faced with Gu Changyuan's overwhelming spiritual pressure, the elders were completely at a loss.

They all knew in their hearts that if they dared to resist or talk back now, their fate would be no better than that of the Fifth Elder.

Look at the Fifth Elder's miserable state. He was lying on the ground with his spine broken, his face trampled in the mud, and he had been spat on.

It's practically an abandoned old dog.

This humiliation is worse than death.

The other elders looked at each other, their necks hunched, their eyes filled with fear.

Nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out, nobody wants to walk into the line of fire.

then.

The group of people who were just now shouting aggressively that they wanted Gu Changyuan to apologize have all fallen silent.

Head bowed, staring at the ground, not daring to even take a deep breath.

Gu Changyuan found it amusing to look at the cowardly appearance of these old guys.

Is this what they call a sect elder?

Is this the same senior who usually acts superior and spouts righteousness and morality?

Faced with absolute power, they are nothing but a bunch of spineless cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong.

"Oh."

"Weren't you all so arrogant just now? Weren't you going to teach me a lesson?"

"Now you're all silent? Did the dog steal your tongue?"

The elders lowered their heads, their faces flushing red and then turning pale, filled with shame and indignation.

Even so, no one dared to utter a word.

Because they know that if they dare to talk back, they will be met with even more cruel humiliation.

but.

Since they didn't speak, was Gu Changyuan just going to let them go like that?

Obviously impossible.

Gu Changyuan is a man who always seeks revenge, and he does so on the spot.

These old guys were chattering away at the entrance of his cave, not only spoiling his fun, but also trying to label him and make him apologize.

He couldn't swallow this insult.

Now that you're here, don't expect to leave so easily.

We must teach them a lesson and let them know who really calls the shots in this Immortal Ascension Sect.

"You're not going to talk, huh? Then kneel down before me!"

The voice just fell.

With a thought, Gu Changyuan unleashed his spiritual energy once more.

"boom!"

The already terrifying spiritual pressure intensified even further in an instant.

"Hmm!"

The elders all let out a muffled groan.

The knees, which could barely support the weight, could no longer withstand the immense force.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several muffled thuds.

Their knees slammed heavily onto the stone slabs, leaving deep dents in the ground.

What was originally a half-kneeling position has now turned into a full-knee kneeling position, with the whole person almost touching the ground.

He looked incredibly pathetic.

The Fifth Elder let out a miserable scream as he was embedded in the ground, too exhausted to even groan.

Looking at their pained expressions, covered in sweat, Gu Changyuan felt no sympathy whatsoever; instead, he laughed even more heartily.

"That's right."

Gu Changyuan clapped his hands.

"Since you can't stand up, then kneel down obediently."

"All of you, kneel down here!"

"You can only get out when you figure things out, when you realize you're wrong!"

This scene completely overturned everyone's understanding.

next to.

Qin Shuang stood there, her small hands tightly covering her mouth, her face full of disbelief.

She looked at the elders who were usually highly respected and whom she would bow to, now kneeling neatly before Gu Changyuan.

The visual impact was so strong that she couldn't quite process it.

This is insane!

Although the cultivation world is known for its respect for the strong, this is incredibly disrespectful.

After all, this is an elder, the face of the sect.

Is it really okay to humiliate them like this?

Seeing the Fifth Elder's miserable state and the other elders' expressions of shame and indignation, Qin Shuang's kindness began to stir again.

She tugged at Gu Changyuan's sleeve with some concern.

"Holy Son..."

"Maybe we should just forget about it?"

"No matter what, these seniors are sect elders, our elders."

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to make them kneel like this?"

As she spoke, she glanced cautiously around.

far away.

Many disciples, drawn by the commotion, peeked over to look in this direction.

Their eyes were wide open, and their mouths were agape enough to fit an egg.

They were clearly terrified.

The elders, who were usually so imposing and high-ranking, are now like a pack of stray dogs, being trampled on the ground.

Moreover, the one who carried out the attack was their holy son.

This is simply a fantasy!

"Oh my god, what am I seeing?"

"The elders have knelt down?"

"How can the Holy Son be so strong? Even so many Nascent Soul stage elders are no match for him?"

"That's terrifying. I'll definitely avoid the Holy Son from now on."

Although the whispers were very quiet, everyone present was a cultivator, so who couldn't hear them?

Hearing these comments, the elders were so ashamed they wished they could disappear into the ground.

They've completely lost face!

How will I maintain my authority in front of my disciples? How will I manage my subordinates?

Qin Shuang had also thought of this, which is why she spoke up to dissuade him.

She felt that giving him a lesson was enough, and there was no need to go to such extremes.

After all, we all work in the same sect, so we're bound to run into each other all the time.

but.

Gu Changyuan clearly didn't think so.

Hearing Qin Shuang's words, he merely glanced at her indifferently, then looked at the group of old men kneeling on the ground.

His eyes were full of indifference and disdain.

"Not suitable?"

Gu Changyuan asked a question in return.

"What's inappropriate about it?"

"Elder?"

"What are elders anyway?"

"In my eyes, an elder without power is not even worth a fart."

"Making them kneel here is giving them face and a chance to reflect on their actions."

Gu Changyuan turned around, looked at the disciples watching in the distance, and his voice suddenly rose a few decibels.

It was as if he was deliberately saying it for everyone to hear.

"We must make them understand this principle."

"This world is one where strength reigns supreme!"

"Might makes right! Might makes right!"

Even if they are elders or seniors.

"If you don't have the strength, then you can only kneel on the ground and talk to me!"

"This is reality!"

Whether it was the kneeling elders or the disciples watching from afar, everyone was shaken to their core.

Too domineering!

Upon hearing this, the elders trembled violently with anger.

That was because she was angry and humiliated.

They've lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time someone has pointed a finger at them and accused them of having no power and being forced to kneel.

This is tantamount to trampling their dignity underfoot and spitting on them.

The Second Elder was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he almost fainted because he couldn't catch his breath.

He raised his head and stared intently at Gu Changyuan, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour him.

"You...you..."

He pointed at Gu Changyuan, trembling, wanting to say some harsh words and try to intimidate him by invoking the righteousness of the sect.

But the words just wouldn't come out.

Because he sadly discovered that Gu Changyuan was right.

In this world of cultivation, without strength, no matter how high your seniority or how great your reputation, you can only kneel before a true powerhouse.

Just like now.

They had no recourse other than impotent rage and kneeling in humiliation.

They don't even have the right to stand up.
