The most pressing issue is how to deal with the Body Sect.

"Everyone..."

He coughed lightly twice and spoke in a deep voice.

"I'm sure you all know why I've gathered you all here at this time. The Body Sect has sent people to negotiate, asking you to relinquish your control over those civilians. They want to follow the example of the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago, harming the continent and wreaking havoc!"

"..."

The many experts present looked at each other, their expressions awkward.

Although the name Body Sect is captivating enough, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and Shrek Academy, a powerful institution, is there to protect them.

For thousands of years, although the Heavenly Soul Empire has remained an empire, its fundamental structure has remained unchanged. The central government has very little control over the surrounding provinces, and is even equivalent to several regional lords. They maintain their own armies and only loosely unite when major events occur.

In the eyes of all forces, there is no such thing as unification.

"So what does Sect Leader Xu mean?" an old man with white hair asked thoughtfully, stroking his beard.

"Absolutely refuse! We cannot allow them to set foot on our territory. If they come with a single finger, we'll cut it off; if they come with a hand, we'll cut it off..."

"Yes! Sect Leader Xu is right!"

The leaders of various forces exchanged glances and revealed a cold smile. Your Body Sect is strong, but don't underestimate the power of our combined forces. The other side's hand has touched their territory, which is their lifeline. How can we tolerate their insolence?

"Clap clap~"

Several rounds of applause followed.

Everyone looked at the corridor with astonishment on their faces.

A young man dressed in a blue robe, with an unbelievably handsome face and even a hint of eeriness, slowly walked over.

Behind them was a familiar figure.

Lang Ya, the person in charge sent by the Body Sect, is seen by them as a heinous bastard.

At this moment, however, he followed the young man with great respect, step by step.

A dozen or so gazes fell upon the young man, each with a different expression.

Only Xu Jiangliu, who sat at the head of the table, and Yan Shaozhe beside him, felt their hair stand on end, first with anger, then with surprise and uncertainty.

They've suffered at the hands of this kid more than once.

Each time it got more ruthless than the last.

Shrek Academy suffered a severe blow because of him, and now they are at risk of falling out of the top-tier academy.

Now that the other party is from the Body Sect and has come knocking on our door, their purpose is obvious.

"Your Excellency's abrupt entry into our council hall is rather impolite. I wonder whose child you are, and how your parents raised you?" An elderly man with white hair looked down at Lu Cheng, took a sip of tea, and spoke jokingly.

"My family taught me to respect teachers and elders, and to care for the young." Lu Cheng smiled, his tone quite sincere.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe was the first to lose his composure, his eyelids twitching wildly.

This is practically a born prodigy, yet he's incredibly monstrous, lawless, and disrespectful to elders and children—does that have anything to do with you?

"..."

Xu Jiangliu's expression also turned cold. His family elders had been burned to ashes by Ma Xiaotao, and he was also a victim. He knew all too well the unruly nature of this young man.

However, the two still had a bad feeling.

Especially Yan Shaozhe, who had spent the most time with this kid, knew very well that the more serious he seemed, the more he was holding back his big secret.

"But I respect people, what are you, a turtle, doing getting involved?" Lu Cheng said calmly, glancing at the white-haired old man whose smile was gradually freezing on his face.

"..."

The scene was deathly silent.

Many top experts' expressions changed.

They're here to cause trouble.

Although it's unclear what's gotten into the Body Sect that makes them so determined to restore the Spirit Hall, judging from their current stance, they seem determined to succeed.

Therefore, whether or not they should continue to oppose it is also a matter of choice.

"As for you..."

Lu Cheng's gaze fell directly on Xu Jiangliu, who was at the head of the group. With his hands behind his back, he walked with a smile to an empty bamboo stool, sat down casually as if he were at home, and looked around.

Lang Ya stood beside him, his expression unchanged.

"You just said you were going to cut off my Body Sect's fingers?"

"..."

"Gurgle~"

Xu Jiangliu's throat bobbed. For some reason, when he saw this little beast again, although the other party had not revealed his strength, the sense of oppression he felt was even more terrifying.

"Ha! My Xuanming Sect has guarded this place for thousands of years and brought benefits to the people here for thousands of years. Why should we bow and scrape with just a word from your Body Sect?" Xu Jiangliu glanced at Yan Shaozhe beside him. Seeing that the other party's expression was calm, he felt more confident and snorted angrily.

"So you want to sever the Body Sect's finger?"

Lu Cheng tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the bamboo stool, his tone unchanged.

Xu Jiangliu's eye twitched.

"Since you want to cut off my Body Sect's fingers, then I'll cut off all ten of yours. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

Lu Cheng smiled, giving Xu Jiangliu a rather eerie look.

"Old Lin, let's get started."

The next instant, a Title Douluo aura erupted, landing in front of Xu Jiangliu in a flash. A cold light flashed, the blade returned to its sheath, and the figure of an old man with white hair but vigorous spirit appeared in front of everyone.

However, the blade was stained with blood.

Xu Jiangliu suddenly let out a bloodcurdling scream, "Aaaaaah!!!"

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd.

Xu Jiangliu's ten fingers all fell to the ground, his palms strangely level.

Fresh blood seeped out, echoing his wailing cries.

"Lu Cheng, how dare you!!!"

Yan Shaozhe's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stood up, glaring angrily.

He glanced at Xu Jiangliu's miserable state again, and was both shocked and furious.

What shocked him was that, as a Super Douluo, he hadn't been able to react in time; what angered him was that this behavior was tantamount to slapping Shrek Academy's face into the ground repeatedly.

"Yan Shaozhe, do you also want to test the sharpness of my knife?"

The white-haired old man snorted coldly, stood in front of Lu Cheng, and looked at the noble dean of the Martial Soul Department with indifferent eyes.

Chapter 206 Extermination of the Clan, Revenge

"Chen Lin, how dare you!!"

Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened in fury as he roared, unleashing the undisguised power of a Super Douluo from his body. The power roared and raged within a radius of several miles, terrifying countless civilians without any cultivation, who prostrated themselves in fear on the ground.

Many powerful figures from surrounding forces were also horrified and retreated.

"Heh, Yan Shaozhe, why don't you try your luck with this old man?"

Chen Lin smiled calmly, and an equally powerful aura of a Super Douluo burst forth, standing proudly in front of Lu Cheng, completely blocking the pressure from Yan Shaozhe.

"You!!" Yan Shaozhe was furious, his teeth clenched, but he only clenched his fists and did not make a move.

Unexpectedly, this old fellow also joined the Body Sect.

"Lu Cheng, you've gone too far..."

Behind Yan Shaozhe, Bei Bei stepped forward, staring at Lu Cheng with an ugly expression and speaking word by word.

"Elder Mu asked me to pass on a few words to you. Shrek Academy mistreated you back then, but the academy only wanted to temper your character and had no intention of harming you. If you want to return to the academy, you can do so at any time."

Xu Sanshi also rushed over. Seeing his father's bleeding hands, his eyes turned red, and he stared intently at Lu Cheng, wishing he could tear him to pieces.

"..."

The scene became somewhat eerie for a moment.

Clearly, many powerful figures present gradually recognized Lu Cheng's identity as the peerless prodigy who had once shone brightly in the competition. However, his betrayal of Shrek Academy and subsequent joining the Body Sect was truly perplexing.

"go back……"

Lu Cheng looked at the righteous and indignant Bei Bei and sneered: "If Mu En is willing to kill you with his own hands and then commit suicide, I might be willing to consider it."

"You! Lu Cheng, don't go too far!" Bei Bei's face darkened as she angrily rebuked him.

"When he slaughtered Le Xuan's entire family back then, he didn't consider whether it was going too far..." Lu Cheng said quietly.

Upon hearing this, many of the powerful figures present wished they could play dead or faint so they wouldn't hear these words.

Is this really true?

"We've gone off on a tangent..."

Lu Cheng waved his hand and remained seated leisurely in his chair.

His gaze fell on Xu Jiangliu: "Let's settle both old and new scores together. Taking your finger was just an eye for an eye, but I've never intended to let the Xuanming Sect go. Do you have any last words?"

"Dean Yan, save me! Save me!!" Xu Jiangliu stumbled and cried out to Yan Shaozhe, ignoring the pain in his fingertips.

"Lu Cheng, I am here, how dare you be so insolent! You try to lay a hand on him and let me see what you're capable of!"

Lu Cheng glanced at Yan Shaozhe with interest and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Ha ha……"

He stood up and leisurely gazed out of the pavilion. The pavilion was situated on a high mountain, and looking down, one could see the entire landscape of Xuanming City.

In it, one can vaguely see the secluded courtyard where he once shared with Jiang's mother and Jiang Nannan.

"I will count to three. Everyone except the Xu family may leave. After that... not a blade of grass will remain here."

At the same time, a series of whooshing sounds rang out, and several powerful auras of Title Douluo rose from the surroundings, scattered around the pavilion. The leader was wearing a black robe with his arms crossed in front of his chest, exuding a particularly powerful aura.
