116: Chapter 116 Chaos at the Mountain Gate: Establishing Rules and Punishments

Outside the sect gates, more and more people gathered.

Hundreds of millions of Cultivators gathered here, sitting cross-legged to Cultivate, closing their eyes to rest, and talking in low voices.

There was excitement, anticipation, and a volatile tension in the air!

"Brother, you're taking up my spot!"

A bald, burly man looked down at the line drawn on the ground.

A tall, thin man next to him squinted at him. "Taking up your spot? Is this land owned by your family?"

The bald man's Face darkened. "I got here yesterday. I drew that line!"

"You drew it? Just because you drew it means it's yours? I could say I drew it too."

The tall, thin man spat on the ground, then stood up and rubbed his foot against it, erasing half of the line!

The bald man's eyes widened. Wasn't this just looking for trouble?

"Are you looking for trouble?"

"What if I am? Not happy about it? Want to go a round?"

The two raised their voices, and the surrounding people quickly backed away.

They had all come to join the Gu Family. Why were they fighting before they had even entered the gates?

What kind of behavior was this?

"If you're not happy, let's throw down!"

The bald man took a step forward, and his Peak Saint Aura burst forth!

Boom!

Instantly, dust flew everywhere!

The tall, thin man didn't back down either, and his Peak Saint Aura erupted as well!

The Auras of the two clashed, making the air freeze slightly!

The surrounding people grew worried!

It was fine if they fought, but they shouldn't let it affect the bystanders!

There were hundreds of millions of Cultivators gathered here!

If a single spark fell, the entire area outside the sect gates would explode.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! This is the Gu Family's territory! Have you lost your minds?"

But the two had already seen red; how could they listen to reason?

Today, they had to fight to the death!

The bald man threw a punch, which the tall, thin man dodged by sidestepping, retaliating with a backhand palm strike!

Punch met palm, spiritual energy exploded, and the surrounding people were knocked askew by the shockwave!

In the back mountain.

Gu Xuan lay on his reclining chair, his Divine Sense sweeping across the area outside the sect gates, his brow furrowing slightly.

It was originally a good thing that so many people had come!

But fighting before even entering the gates broke the rules!

"Go and have them handle it," Gu Xuan said.

Jian Wuji nodded and sent a voice transmission to Yue Qingshuang and Yue Qingxue.

A moment later, two white-robed figures flew out from within the sect gates, landing in the air above the crowd!

"Stop."

Yue Qingshuang spoke. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.

The bald man and the tall, thin man froze at the same time!

They weren't frightened by the voice, but suppressed by that Aura!

It was a Great Emperor!

Their hands stopped mid-air, and their Spiritual Qi began to retract.

Instantly, the hundreds of millions of Cultivators fell dead silent.

Yue Qingxue looked around, her tone indifferent.

"This is the Gu Family's territory. No fighting is allowed! Violators will be executed!"

Only then did the bald man reluctantly withdraw his fist.

The tall, thin man also withdrew his palm.

Just then, the bald man's foot somehow slipped forward, bumping into the tall, thin man.

Unprepared, the tall, thin man stumbled back two steps, bumping into the person behind him.

That person's Face changed. Just as he was about to curse, he saw the two white-robed figures in the sky and swallowed his words back down.

The tall, thin man knew that this bald guy had clearly done it on purpose!

But now was not the time to get angry!

The eyes of both men were unpleasant, but neither dared to make another move.

In the crowd, someone whispered.

"Even Great Emperors have come out, and they're still fighting? Do they want to die? These two brothers are truly brave!"

The tall, thin man slowly stood up, his Face flushed red!

He glanced at the sky. The two female Great Emperors had their backs turned to him, preparing to fly back into the sect gates.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he suddenly reached out and shoved the bald man hard!

The bald man, who was brushing the dust off himself, stumbled from the push and fell forward, his head hitting a rock with a dull thud!

Thud!

The surrounding people were startled and backed away one after another!

Thanks to his shiny, smooth bald head, the bald man didn't suffer any real injuries.

But he had lost a lot of Face in front of so many people!

Yet, he was angry but dared not speak out, only able to suffer this loss in silence!

The corner of the tall, thin man's mouth curled up slightly, feeling secretly pleased. 'Serves you right for bumping into me. Now you have to suffer in silence!'

He thought he had done it covertly and no one had seen!

But in the next second!

Yue Qingshuang turned her head and glanced at him!

Just one glance!

The tall, thin man's smile froze on his Face, his body feeling as if it had been immobilized!

And then!

Boom!

Bang!!

Only the sound was heard, but his figure was no longer there!

An explosion rang out as his body blew up from the inside out!

Turning into a mist of blood!

The blood mist drifted away, leaving nothing behind.

Only that dull explosion still echoed in everyone's ears!

*Hiss!*

The entire field fell into a deathly silence!

No one saw how Yue Qingshuang had made her move—no, she hadn't made a move at all!

She had merely glanced at him!

With one glance, a living person was gone!

The bald man lay on the ground, his entire body trembling.

He was closest to the tall, thin man, and the blood mist had splattered all over his Face! But he didn't dare wipe it!

The surrounding people dared not move even more, even holding their breath.

Someone whispered, "Is this the power of a Great Emperor?! Terrifyingly powerful! A single glance insta-killed a Saint!"

Everyone was scared out of their wits!

Yue Qingshuang looked around and said to the people below, "Now, do you remember?"

She continued, "If you haven't, I don't mind the next one being any of you!"

Her gaze swept across the crowd, and wherever it passed, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads!

Yue Qingshuang withdrew her gaze and flew back into the sect gates along with Yue Qingxue.

The bald man was still lying on the ground, the blood mist on his Face already dried!

He slowly crawled up. Looking at him, the surrounding people all felt a lingering fear!

"Brother, are you okay?" someone nearby asked in a low voice.

The bald man shook his head and took a deep breath.

"I... I'll move over there. I won't take up this spot anymore!"

He turned and left, walking to the very back of the crowd, finding a corner to sit down, a wave of lingering fear washing over his heart!

The surrounding people automatically cleared a space for him, and no one competed with him.

From this moment on, the atmosphere outside the sect gates completely changed.

No one was arguing, no one was shoving, and no one was taking up extra space!

Everyone was doing the exact same thing—quietly lining up, quietly waiting.

Some gave up their spots, some took the initiative to hold seats for others, and some took out dry rations to share with those around them.

"Brother, I'll give this spot to you. I'll move over there so you can sit here."

"No need, no need. It's spacious on my side. Come sit here, there's still room."

"It was my fault earlier, taking up your spot. I'm sorry, this spot is yours."

"It's fine, it's fine. We're all here to join the Gu Family. Harmony brings wealth."

Someone whispered, "I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life! A Saint was gone with just a glance! Is this the power of a Great Emperor?"

The person next to him lowered his voice. "It's not the power of a Great Emperor—it's the rules of the Gu Family! Whoever breaks the rules must die."

"Then we must also follow the rules when we are in the Gu Family in the future!"

"Nonsense! Didn't you just see the consequences of not following the rules?"

Everyone was thinking the same thing: once they entered the Gu Family, they must follow the rules!

If you don't follow the rules, you won't even know how you died.
