"Well... That was easy," Liang Tao remarked with an air of confidence, his voice dripping with arrogance.
"So that is the standard of someone that is the number 1 of the Inner Disciple at the Buddha Benevolent Sect?"
Boundless pressure exploded out from Liang Tao body, and it was made known to everyone that Liang Tao has reached the Nascent Soul, Middle Stage.
Jue Xing looked towards the arena, and after seeing the pressure caused by Liang Tao, "Impossible… You are at the Nascent Soul, Middle Stage?? Impossibl…" Overwhelmed by the shock, Jue Xing's body grew weak, and eventually he lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground.
"Jue Xing! Jue Xing!" Jue Mang shouted, as he input his qi into his body, to check up on his son's body.
"All I see is just a pile of garbage!"
"Elder Lin Chuxuan, why not just abandon this garbage of a sect, and join the Cloudburst Immortal Sect as an elder? Or maybe… as my wife? HAHAHA"
At this point, Liang Tao's true nature was unveiled, revealing him to be not the righteous and composed man he seemed, but rather a lecherous individual consumed by desire for Lin Chuxuan.
As gazes turned towards Lin Chuxuan, it was evident that her face had flushed with anger, clearly indicating her displeasure at Liang Tao's offensive remark.
* BAM *
A sound of tableware breaking down could be heard in the palace hall.
"Wei Fengyun! How about you teach your disciples some manners?!" Gong Xuanyan angrily said, his tone now full of murderous aura.
"Hey, Liang Tao, let's not make such remarks. Even though you emerged as the winner, it's important to show respect to the losers," Wei Fengyun stated, his tone conveying a lack of intention to scold or lecture Liang Tao.
"Hmm, a trash sect is a trash sect. How can a trash sect have such beauty like Elder Lin?"
"How about I give all of you disciples at Buddha Benevolent Sect a challenge?"
Liang Tao stood on the elevated platform, his gaze sweeping across the gathered disciples of the Buddha Benevolent Sect. With a smug on his face, he began to taunt them mercilessly.
"Look at all of you, so-called disciples of the Buddha Benevolent Sect." Liang Tao jeered, his voice dripping with contempt.
"You all claim to uphold righteousness and strength, but what have you achieved? Nothing! Nothing but being weak and trash!"
The disciples gritted their teeth, their faces flushed with anger and humiliation. But Liang Tao paid no heed to their reactions. Instead, his eyes shifted towards Lin Chuxuan, a glint of desire appeared in his gaze.
"What about it, Lin Chuxuan? Your beauty is wasted among these fools. Join me, and I will show you a world of power and pleasure!"
Liang Tao words hung in the air, creating a tense atmosphere in the air.
"Liang Tao… I will never join you or the Cloudburst Immortal Sect!" Lin Chuxuan retorted, with a hint of hostility in her words.
"Well, that is unlucky. It is unlucky how you are accompanying all of this trash in this sect!"
"Well, let me throw all of you a challenge. How about any of you disciples have the balls to come up to this arena right now to fight me? ANYONE?" Liang Tao brazenly issued a challenge, daring any of the disciples to step forward and face him in the arena.
His voice rang out with defiance, as he sought to goad the disciples into engaging in combat with him.
"Looks like there is nothing but just trash and scaredy cats in this sect. HAHAHA!" Liang Tao laughed aloud, smirking at the disciples of the Buddha Benevolent Sect.
