202: Suffering the most...

Then, Lin Zhuan gave some more instructions to the Shenwu Academy’s elder disciples.

Instructions given beforehand are one thing, and instructions given while doing something are another.

Different timing of instructions can lead to different strategies and methods.

While speaking, Lin Zhuan suddenly sensed what seemed to be an indigenous tribe not far away.

And from the looks of it, its scale was not small.

For the Xuanzhe Continent, it was quite impressive.

So, he decided to go down, thinking that Sect Leader Qian Chang was the one who brought them down anyway.

It wouldn't be a bad thing to provide some convenience to the disciples and recover some losses.

Thus, a surge of power enveloped the Shenwu Academy group, and in an instant, they were transported.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw a scene of ten thousand dragons bowing and wailing towards them.

While the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon were still wailing,

they suddenly saw a distortion in space where their king had fallen.

Then, a group of people in strange attire appeared in the area.

The Thunder Howling Sky Dragon froze for a moment, then, in unison, they roared at them.

An overwhelming number of dragon roars, like a tidal wave, came crashing down on them.

However, it was utterly useless.

“Noisy!”

Lin Zhuan said softly, his voice very, very quiet, just like a normal person speaking.

The roar of any single dragon was thousands, tens of thousands of times louder than his voice.

In the face of the overwhelming dragon roars, his voice seemed even more insignificant.

Yet, these two soft words were heard by every living being in the area.

Including some Thunder Howling Sky Dragon in distant corners, several thousands of miles away, who clearly heard the sound.

It was as if, as if the person was standing right in front of them when he spoke.

Dispelling all sounds!

Lin Zhuan’s two words contained such a meaning.

And, as expected, upon hearing these two words,

all the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon in the area, except for the people from Shenwu Academy,

felt as if their throats were constricted by fate, unable to utter another sound.

Showing strength wasn't enough; he also needed to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!

So, he singled out the high-ranking Thunder Howling Sky Dragon, those with higher cultivation, and with a single sweep, turned the encircling circle of high-level Thunder Howling Sky Dragon into dust.

This further reduced the number of high-ranking members of the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon Clan, whose numbers had already significantly decreased due to Chen De.

Protecting the indigenous people does not mean condoning them.

In fact, in the eyes of Shenwu Academy, there was no difference between the indigenous people and those in the eyes of Qiu Xian Hall and Qianyuan Sect.

Qiu Xian Hall and Shenwu Academy killed them simply to reduce the benefits Shenwu Academy would gain.

Shenwu Academy protected them also to gain more benefits.

They protected them merely to preserve their own currency.

Therefore, they would not condone these indigenous people.

Those who disobeyed would still be killed, still die.

A few more or a few less of them made no difference.

However, Thunder Jin, who had the highest cultivation, and some other elders were left behind.

High cultivation meant high prestige, but their cultivation wasn't exceedingly high.

Such indigenous people were most suitable to be left behind as dogs.

As for those who survived, it was purely by luck.

Aside from Thunder Jin, there was no special need to care for the rest.

Lin Zhuan originally only intended to kill one-third, and who lived or died depended on their luck.

Indeed, with these two methods, all the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon immediately became obedient.

Releasing the restraints on these Thunder Howling Sky Dragon, they no longer roared or cried out.

The high-ranking Thunder Howling Sky Dragon, who hadn't knelt even after Thunder Kan died,

now knelt down at their previous encircling positions.

The Shenwu Academy group was filled with admiration; since their appearance,

just two moves had subdued this large indigenous tribe.

If only...

If only they also possessed such strength.

Any mentor in the area could destroy the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon Clan.

But to achieve what Lin Zhuan did, none of them could.

Subsequently, after leading the group to settle the subdued Thunder Howling Sky Dragon Clan,

he felt that the time was about right, so he left them there to continue their tasks.

Lin Zhuan himself went to Sect Leader Qian Chang and Lin Zhuan.

If he could lead the people of Shenwu Academy to do things here, the other two might not be able to.

Moreover, he was alone, while they were two.

The longer he delayed, the more advantageous it would be for those two, and the two would only be happier.

So, Lin Zhuan had to hurry over.

This place was just close by, and he did it conveniently.

However, before leaving, Lin Zhuan frowned and decided to say something more.

These disciples were not like those from Qiu Xian Hall or Qianyuan Sect, who had small worlds in their hands.

Core disciples could enter the small worlds and interact with the indigenous people.

Most of them were entering a small world for the first time, even now.

Some of their thoughts on living beings were still the same as in the outside world.

Although they already knew what they were about to face,

after seeing what the disciples of Qiu Xian Hall and Qianyuan Sect did, they might still be impacted.

They hadn't encountered it yet because they had just entered not long ago.

Everyone had only experienced a few territories, and under normal circumstances, they wouldn't encounter it at all.

But in a few more days, it would be completely different.

Later, it would be impossible not to encounter it; it was only a matter of time.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhuan felt he should say something more.

So, he spoke a passage to everyone,

“When I was young, I believed that only by enduring the bitterest hardships could one become a superior person.”

“Later, I indeed did so.”

“However, a hundred years passed in a hurry, and I ultimately achieved nothing.”

“Later, someone else told me that humans supplement what they eat; enduring hardship cannot make one a superior person, but eating people can.”

As he spoke, he looked deeply at these disciples, “I also hope that you can understand this principle.”

“Furthermore, in our eyes, those indigenous people cannot even be considered human.”

After saying these words, regardless of the disciples' reactions,

Lin Zhuan gradually faded and disappeared from the area.

Leaving behind the mentors and disciples of Shenwu Academy, the mentors understood what the Headmaster was saying.

As for the disciples, they looked at each other in confusion.

To say they knew, they vaguely guessed what the Headmaster wanted to say.

To say they didn't know, they didn't understand why the Headmaster brought this up again.

Logically, such a small matter shouldn't be brought up repeatedly.

However, they would simply do as the Headmaster said.

...

When Lin Zhuan reappeared before Chen De and the others,

Chen De and the others were no longer on Ten Thousand Dragon Island, but stood in a place full of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

This was a new location Chen De and the others had just been taken to by Hall Master Fang Jie to work.

Hall Master Fang Jie himself hovered in the air, silently watching below, appearing as if he hadn't made a move.

Indeed, as Lin Zhuan expected, the other two would definitely seize the opportunity to cause trouble when he wasn't watching.

However, to catch a thief, you need the stolen goods; to catch an adulterer, you need both. Without personally catching Hall Master Fang Jie in the act, there was no way to prove it was related to Hall Master Fang Jie.

Even if asked, he would just say, I didn't do anything, I just stood here quietly watching.

No doubt, it would be 100% the same on Sect Leader Qian Chang's side.

So Lin Zhuan said, “Brother Fang, let’s go!”

Hall Master Fang Jie did not refuse, only saying, “Don’t wait a bit longer? What if Sect Leader Qian Chang isn’t finished yet?”

Delaying time, this trick was useless against Lin Zhuan, so Lin Zhuan replied, “No, I’ve already finished my part, and it looks like you’ve finished yours too.”

“Since that’s the case, let’s go check on Lin Zhuan first. If he’s not done yet,”

“Perhaps he’s run into some trouble, and we can help him out.”

Hall Master Fang Jie nodded upon hearing this, “That would be good!”

Then he turned his head and instructed the Qiu Xian Hall group, “You all stay here and diligently search for resources. Remember, only search for resources.”

“Never, never accidentally harm innocent indigenous people!”

“We respectfully obey the Hall Master’s decree!”

After giving these instructions, Hall Master Fang Jie looked at Lin Zhuan, “Since that’s the case, Brother Lin, shall we go?”

Lin Zhuan smiled faintly, “Please!”

Hall Master Fang Jie politely said, “You first!”

They certainly wouldn't just keep yielding to each other; they were just being courteous.

Then, the two of them disappeared from the area.

Immediately after, within moments, three visible beams of light shot up into the sky in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, the light beams pierced through the heavens.

Completely disappearing from everyone’s sight.
