“Disciple Dong, please restrain your temper in front of the Vice Headmaster.”

Hearing the Head Elder's words, Lin Dong paused and took a moment to calm down. However, Li Shen suddenly spoke up.

“So what if I gave the resources I obtain to who I chose? Aren’t you Faction Leaders doing the same thing?”

Sua Yuming and the other Faction Leaders furrow their brows, but Li Shen simply continued.

“The disciples you groom in the academy, where would they end up after leaving? In your clans and your own forces. All I’m doing is following your examples straightforward instead of your roundabout and sneaky way of doing it.

“And as for me not being respectful to the academy’s legacy that’s just not true.”

Li Shen's expression then became serious.

“My loyalty to the Sword Pavilion and this Academy should not be questioned. I won’t let my position as the Second Prince of the Li Imperial Family influence my decisions when inside the academy. I won’t have any hidden agenda besides upholding the acade

    No one in this room was stupid, they knew what the Elders and Head Deacon’s intentions were, so they placed getting Li Shen in trouble to get more resources aside for now.Well, everyone except Lin Dong. He was seeing this differently.If this turns out to be the best-case scenario. The Elders would punish Li Shen for using coercion methods to trick disciples into becoming loyal to him, this could be considered a form of brainwashing.Lin Dong would get what he wanted as he would argue since his cultivation can’t be abolished he should be stripped of his title as Faction Leader, have his Faction disband, and then be kicked out of the Academy.However, if the worst possible outcome occurred, the Elders might even put Li Shen on a pedestal for being able resorting disciples' talents. Completely ignoring if he’s guilty of coercion disciples or not.‘How could they do that? Wouldn’t that be swapping out the lion to let the fox in?’The overbearing lion being the Ming Clan and Li Shen bein

    “Disciple Shen, what are you doing after this? This old man would like to invite you for a drink, I hear you’re quite the drinker.”Hearing that, all eyes shot towards the speaker.It was an Elder that had a chubby physique. He was staring at Li Shen while his heart itching to grab him and take off with him.He paid no mind to the stares directed at him by his fellow Elders, instead, all of his focus was on Li Shen.Li Shen was taken aback by this and opened his mouth to respond, however, he was suddenly cut off by a yell.“NO! Old third you fat pig, what are you trying to do?! Didn’t you hear disciple Shen is on his way to complete a mission for the academy?!”Turning to Li Shen the speaker then said.“Disciple Shen, how about I accompany you along on that mission? Perhaps I can “oversee” your mission so you don’t get in danger. After all, you can’t risk your life to get that thirty percent share of resources. With me “overseeing” your mission why not aim for a bigger percentage?”As

    If Li Shen wasn’t pressed for time he would have liked to stroll to the Conclave Academy as usual but he opted to take the newest convenience for disciples, teleportation circles.And no it wasn’t pressed for time because he was supposedly going on a mission, he just said that to sell his story more.Even though he wasn’t using coercion methods to convert disciples to his family’s side, he was still using them to infiltrate the other factions.After everything he said in the hall, calling out Lin Dong and the others, does that make him a hypocrite?The answer to that would be yes, yes he was. But anything was fair game in the world of schemers and con-artists.However, it wasn’t like there wasn't some truth mixed in. He indeed respected the Celestial Academy, and as a disciple under its legacy, he held the responsibility to uphold its teachings and that heavy legacy.After taking the teleportation circle he appeared inside a rather large hall, where numerous Worker and Conclave Discip

    Fuangu hearing that had a thoughtful expression appear on his face.Seeing that he wasn't going to be easily convinced, Li Shen continue further.“Why have just a small cult following when you can have a religion of your own! Just think about the endless possibilities!”Fuangu still held a contemplating expression as he wasn’t sure what making it into a full-blown religion would accomplish.“Wouldn’t it be too big?”Li Shen smiled at his question and said.“Exactly! The bigger the better! You can be its leader, spreading the tales of the mythical being known as the Shoe-less Hero!”Fuangu's expression changed and his eyes slowly lit up upon hearing that, however, he asked again doubtfully.“But how would I manage it alone? I-I don’t think I’ll be able to live up to his highness expectations.”Seeing his doubtful expression, Li Shen shook his head and said.“Why so pessimistic? Here, I’ll tell you a few things you need to do to get the expansion started.”Fuangu was still unsure about

    Li Shen continue to laugh some more while Ye Fei was scowling with an ugly expression on his face.He can’t believe Li Shen went such a roundabout way to bring up that accursed name to mock him.‘Curse this evil child, and to think I was deep into believing his nonsense.’Watching Li Shen down his tea whole like he was chugging back wine, he shook his head and said.“You hold your grudges too close to your heart, aren’t you afraid they’ll inflate to encompass it?”Slamming the tea cup onto the table, Li Shen wiped his mouth with his sleeve before saying.“Let them! I’m someone who pays back grudges tenfold, the more you wrong me, the harsher the retaliation!”Sitting up, his spine went as straight as a pillar leading from the deepest regions of the underworld to the highest vantage point in the nine heavens. He then spoke words that could sever nails and obliterate iron.“I’m Li Shen! If you make yourself my enemy by hurting the ones I love you’ll face the most determined, most reveng

    “Elder brother! Someone said they went through a breakthrough!”Li Shen heard someone in the crowd yell as he sat down cross-legged on the mat, Lihua, and Jun on his left and right. “Oh?” Li Shen said as he turned to the standing girl in the crowd.Smiling, he asked. "Is that true?”The girl nodded her head.She looked timid, either because everyone was looking at her, or because that was her personality. But she still had a hint of delight between her brows which stem from being acknowledged for her breakthrough. Her age seemed to be around her mid to late teens from her appearance.She looked like a member that had recently joined. Li Shen recalled the names and faces of those people and he finally match hers.“Jia, what cultivation realm are you in now?”Jia shyly responded.“Elder brother, it’s only a small breakthrough, I was able to condense my Qi Sea and form my first Divine Platform to enter the Foundation Realm.”“How is that a small breakthrough sister Jia?

    “Bastard! Whose your successor?!! Let go of me!!”Mu Fan was first stunned but he quickly became enraged.His hands and feet danced as he was picked up by an invisible force.Soon he was at eye level with the person floating above the courtyard.He was a middle-aged-looking man that wore blood-red robes. His physique was burly, matching the image all who heard his voice from before would picture him to look like.His arms were double a normal person’s and as he grabbed Mu Fan’s head, his palm easily wrapped around it fully.Mu Fan grabbed onto the man’s forearm and instinctively tried to get free, but his arms wouldn’t budge.“Bastard, I said let go of me!!”The man ignored Mu Fan and instead looked at him curiously, then his face showed a frown.“How are you merely in the Mid Foundation Realm having only formed your fifth Divine Platform? Is this some kind of joke? You should have been cultivating faster than this given your talents.”The man after examining Mu Fan’s cultivation was

    It wasn’t wise for Mu Fan to be conjuring his Blade Intent like this. Just it becoming crippled wasn’t the end of what could happen.The Heavenly Blade in the air soon fade away and the disciples on the Sword Pavilion who saw it were wondering what it was.As for the ones below with Li Shen, they felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders lifted.Having that relief after being under that terrifying pressure, some of them fell to their butts while some remain standing with trembling legs.They all were looking at Mu Fan with shuddering hearts. The impression they had of him was of an oddball who loved to do and say ridiculous things but seeing him release such might, that viewpoint completely changed.“Was brother Mu Fan that strong? He seems like the strongest out of the people Elder brother has under his command.”The other disciples nodded their heads to that statement.These were disciples that didn’t know about Chosens, or of Jun, Mu Fan, and the others' positions. They only know

    When Gu Min landed in front of him, Yang Su stood there staring at him with a blank expression while tears ran down his cheeks.“What, you won't even come running to hug me after not seeing me for so long? You always did when we were little. Or have you grown too big now? You’re almost as tall as I am.”Gu Min said this jokingly, but Yang Su could only lower his head and began wiping his tears.Gu Min walked up to him and hugged him.“It’s okay, why are you crying?”“I-I thought you died because of me. And Mom and Dad, they…”“Did they blame you?”A sad expression appeared on Gu Min’s face, but Yang Su shook his head.“No, after they thought you died they wouldn’t let me out of their sights. It's because of you that I couldn’t even set foot outside of the house.”Gu Min cracked a smile when he heard his little brother’s words.“I’m sorry I didn’t come home, I-”“It’s fine.”Yang Su suddenly said cutting off Gu Min.“As long as you’re fine I don’t care if I never see you again, I just

    Ling Tian was in the sky scanning the crowd of disciples down below.His heart was filled with both anger and frustration.Soon, his gaze stopped on a figure that was trying to blend into the crowd as much as possible.But despite the hood hiding their appearance, Ling Tian knew exactly who this person was.In a fit of rage and worry, he bolted toward this person.On the ground, Li Shen looked at Yang Su and asked.“Yang Su, what do you mean, is that person your older brother?”Everyone in the group heard this and they all turned to look at Yang Su.Yang Su nodded and said.“He looks slightly different, but I’m sure that’s him.”While Xian was smiling off to the side, Mu Fan glanced at Yang Su’s brother in the air and scowled.“His hair is ever redder than yours, how revolting.”Jun frowned and elbowed Mu Fan to shut up.As Yang Su continued to look at his brother he started to become more agitated.He was skeptical of Xian’s words before but now that he saw his brother he was overcom

    Mu Fan placed everyone down before they all glared at Xian.Xian shrugged his shoulders in response.Jun was about to comment on Xian being here, but Li Shen placed a hand on his shoulder.“Look after Lu Yue for me.”Hearing this, Jun turned to look at Lu Yue before hurrying over.Fei Yin hurried over as well, it looked like she had a few superficial wounds he was able to heal.Li Shen then looked at Xian and asked.“What’s the point of you joining? You seem to have a group of your own.”“Well, that doesn’t mean I can’t join yours right?”Li Shen went silent for a moment and then said.“I’ll think about it. For now, we should focus on why we were teleported here.”Xian turned to look at the front of the hall where a throne was before saying with narrowed eyes.“Isn’t it obvious my other half? Someone wants us here.”Hearing Xian’s words, everyone in the group had their expressions change.They suddenly had a bad feeling rise in their hearts. One that Mu Fan long had.“Master…?”Li She

    “D-Damn it, what is happening now?!”Mu Fan cried out as he saw his fingers fading away.Li Shen looked over at him and then down at his own hand to see his fingers were fading away as well, and at a rapid pace at that.Li Shen then looked towards the sky to see that after shattering, what was revealed was a clear blue sky.The shattered fragments of the previous crimson sky were still hovering in the air, reflecting the blue sky above and the Fiery Dimension below at the same time.Looking away from this scene, Li Shen bent down to pick up Lu Yue and carry her bridal style. He then turned to Mu Fan and said.“It’s okay, we’re being teleported to the Hidden Fragmented Realm. Hold onto me.”Mu Fan hurriedly got up and place his overly large palms on Li Shen’s shoulders.Mu Fan then watched in curiosity as a strange black light with starry light in it spread from Li Shen’s body to cover both him and Lu Yue.“What kind of ability is this?”Mu Fan said looking around. It almost seemed as

    “Stop being so dramatic, I barely touched you.”Li Shen said as he gave Mu Fan who was on the ground a cursory glance.Mu Fan wined.“It is you. Bastard, do you want to get hit in the head and see how it feels?”Mu Fan then glared at Li Shen, but in response, Li Shen merely rolled his eyes and then turn back to check on an unconscious Lu Yue.Mu Fan also turned to her and asked.Is she going to be alright?”“If we can get to Jun in time, then everything will be fine.”“Is that why you let those bastards get away?”Mu Fan said as he watch Gu Jin and Shiming fly away with the rest of the Fire Empire’’s disciples and Ming Clan members.Li Shen shifted his head to look in their direction before turning back to Lu Yue.“There will come a time when they can longer run away from me, but that time hasn’t come yet. Rather, you should be healing your injuries before thinking about fighting in your condition.”“It merely scratches, I’m fine!”Mu Fan said confidentially, but Li Shen suddenly saw

    “You fucker, I’ll definitely kill you for this!!”Shiming’s face was deathly pale, but intense hatred was evident in his eyes.“Huh? How are you going to do that when you’re going to see King Yama?”Mu Fan kicked Shiming’s severed arm that held his saber to the side as he walked towards him.Shiming manage to stop his bleeding and he held his stump as he slowly got up.A crazed look was in his eyes that matched Mu Fan’s own.Mu Fan didn’t care and he rushed to lop off his head like he promised he would.He appeared in front of Shiming and did a horizontal slash.However, a crazed Shiming suddenly grasp the void and a red illusory blade appeared in his remaining hand.Swoosh!Shiming swung it towards Mu Fan’s incoming saber and a Blade Energy no weaker than Mu Fan’s own swept out.BANG!A loud explosion occurred that caused the ground beneath the two to form a massive crater.Shiming was seen flying out of the dust that had risen in the area.Even when he called on his own Blade Will h

    Shiming wasn’t in a hurry as he flew over to where Mu Fan was.Previously when Mu Fan had reached this location and realized he had found Lu Yue, he didn’t hesitate to start hacking.Now laying around him were numerous bloody corpses of the Fire Empire Disciples. But of course, there were also disciples who came from various small Sects that were transported here with Lu Yue. A few disciples in the group Mu Fan came with had died too.Mu Fan frowned at this sight.Something didn’t feel right to him. He loved hacking these fuckers for what they were doing, but this type of massacre irked him.It’s as if it was all planned.Mu Fan didn’t know, but he could vaguely sense something was wrong.As Mu Fan was feeling repulsed by this massacre, Shiming’s voice echoed behind him.“Why do I always have to deal with you?”Mu Fan slowly turned to see Shiming land not too far away from him. His eyes narrowed.“You don’t have to worry about that for too long. Once I lop off your head then you never

    Gu Jin would send out a fist or a palm strike towards Lu Yue and she would counter it with her Sword Technique.However, she would be blown back and injured every time.After a few more of this, Lu Yue realized that she was getting further away from the battle.Gu Jin had purposely brought them here.“Are you just now realizing the situation you’re in?”Gu Jin said with a laugh.Lu Yue had fallen to the ground and as she slowly got up, Gu Jin’s gaze roamed over her slightly disheveled body.It didn’t take a genius to understand what was going on.However, Lu Yue seemed unphased despite the blood at the corner of her lips and was even weak to the point where she had to lean on her sword for support.Looking at Gu Jin, she said.“And it seems you haven’t realized the situation you're in yet.”Upon hearing that, Gu Jin frowned.However, a moment later his expression changed.Inside his body, he sensed several strands of frigid energy slowly circulating in his meridians.If it weren’t for
