146: What's the panic!

Xiao Chen's eyes widened, and he said "you" three times in a row.

Finally, he breathed his last.

Thud!

As his corpse hit the ground,

it completely extinguished the thoughts of those Prodigies who were dreaming of sneak-attacking Chen Xian!

Killing one could be considered a fluke!

But what about killing two?!

In their hearts, the man before them had transformed from a previous second generation ancestor into an unreasonable murderer.

Despite this, someone from the Crimson Flame Sect still said indignantly, "Chen Xian, do you intend to make an enemy of our Crimson Flame Sect?"

"Senior Brother Wang's sneak attack on you just now was indeed wrong, and he deserved to die."

"But Junior Brother Xiao did nothing, why kill him?"

Chen Xian glanced at this man nonchalantly.

With just one look, this Crimson Flame Sect Disciple subconsciously took two steps back.

What kind of gaze was that?

No anger, no emotion; when looking at him, it was like looking at an ant on the ground.

Chen Xian said calmly, "I killed him, and I have my reasons for doing so!"

"You want to hear them?"

"You'll have to see if you're even qualified!"

He spoke these words without the slightest politeness.

If this were before,

if Chen Xian spoke like this, these Prodigies would have already been rude to him.

But after experiencing everything just now,

they all understood a truth.

This guy was no simple second generation ancestor.

Instead, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Chen Xian didn't care about these people's opinions.

If it were before, he might have been interested in playing with them.

But at the thought that the Western Continent Hunters would arrive soon, and that Zi Yun had been captured by them,

Chen Xian felt he couldn't keep fooling around like this.

To make these Prodigies before him obedient, he couldn't use his previous persona of a naive second generation ancestor to trick them.

Instead, he needed to use absolute strength to make them submit!

Because of this, he had killed one Prodigy per sword strike.

As for now, these Prodigies' faces were flushed.

Each of them was angry but didn't dare to speak up.

Though they were unconvinced in their hearts, no one dared to say it!

Not to mention that this second generation ancestor now killed people as easily as eating or drinking,

even the Embroidered Uniform Guards he brought with him were all watching like tigers, not to be trifled with!

This made these Prodigies feel a sense of regret for a moment.

They thought they had caught a pack of guard dogs that could protect them from the Western Continent Hunters' pursuit.

But they didn't expect that they weren't dogs, but wolves!

Chen Xian, the stray dog they once looked down upon, was now like a wolf king.

"Everyone, you have fifteen minutes. You either leave this place, or you stay here!"

"I won't pursue those who leave, but for those who stay, I can grant you an Opportunity and fortune!"

These words came from Chen Xian's mouth.

The minds of these Prodigies raced.

Their first thought was to leave, but then they thought of the Opportunity and fortune Chen Xian mentioned.

For a moment, they hesitated.

If they left, not only would they have to face the pursuit of the Western Continent Hunters,

they would likely be unable to even take care of themselves, let alone find other Opportunities.

Although Chen Xian was overbearing and arrogant,

he had only killed two people, which seemed much better than the Western Continent Hunters, who killed everyone without exception once they fell into their hands.

Weighing the pros and cons,

one Prodigy took the lead and said, "I'll stay!"

"I'll stay too!"

"I'll stay too!"

They chimed in one after another.

In short, sticking together gave them a chance to live.

Otherwise, being alone would truly lead to a death without a burial place!

However, a few Crimson Flame Sect Disciples showed sinister expressions on their faces.

"I don't believe we can't survive without you."

"Crimson Flame Sect members, follow me!"

Five or six of them stepped forward, and one of them even wanted to take back the bodies of Xiao Chen and the other deceased person.

But Chen Xian stepped on them.

He picked up Xiao Chen's storage ring.

He took the banana fan out of the storage ring.

He gave it to Zhou Duoer openly.

"This is yours!"

Then, he threw the two storage rings to the Prodigies who stayed.

"These are yours now!"

Hiss!

Although these Prodigies felt a sense of humiliation,

seeing the storage rings on the ground,

they were still somewhat shocked.

Because at first, they thought Chen Xian was just making empty promises.

But they never expected Chen Xian to give them things so quickly.

Although the items on these two Crimson Flame Sect Prodigies couldn't compare to the treasures on all of them combined,

even small gains are still gains!

Chen Xian said indifferently, "This is just the beginning!"

"If you stay here, there will be more treasures!"

The Crimson Flame Sect members looked at Chen Xian, gnashing their teeth in anger!

But they were helpless!

Finally, they left with resentment in their hearts.

"Young Lord, if they leave, they will certainly seek revenge!"

"That's right, you're letting the tiger return to the mountain!"

"In the Shanhai Secret Realm, any soft-heartedness will lead to a great mistake!"

Hearing the suggestions of Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi,

Chen Xian shook his head slightly.

"No need. If they seek revenge, they will have found their own way to death!"

One of the Prodigies asked curiously, "Chen Xian, what are we doing staying here now?"

Chen Xian said with a flat expression, "Waiting for people!"

After saying that, he sat cross-legged on a large rock to meditate.

Zhou Duoer stayed by his side.

Although everyone looked at Zhou Duoer with desire,

no one dared to touch her anymore.

After all, they knew that Zhou Duoer's master was a literal god of slaughter!

As for Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi, watching this scene,

they were already filled with admiration.

A few hours ago, these Prodigies were eager to kill Chen Xian.

And now,

they were completely tamed by their Young Lord!

It was clear that strength was the best trump card!

As long as one's strength was great enough, even if these Prodigies were outwardly compliant but inwardly rebellious, they would still obey Chen Xian.

Pei Ning didn't think so.

Serving in the imperial court,

Pei Ning was more familiar with the way of balancing power.

Chen Xian's method of controlling people appeared to be bloody and violent on the surface.

In reality, it was the "carrot and stick" approach!

The "stick" was killing the two Crimson Flame Sect Prodigies, which not only served as a warning but also demonstrated his powerful strength.

As for the "carrot," it was those two storage rings.

Although it wasn't much, it was better than nothing.

Especially since they were the storage rings of two Prodigies; for these Prodigies, an opponent's storage ring naturally had a different psychological effect.

They became more wary of Chen Xian!

And less inclined to sneak attack!

An hour later,

a large group of people appeared in the distance.

After one of the Prodigies saw these people,

his face instantly turned pale with fear.

"Oh no, it's those Hunters from the Western Continent!"

"What? They actually chased us here!"

"Damn it, let's run!"

"They're targeting us!"

Seeing the group in chaos and about to leave in a hurry,

Chen Xian said coldly, "What's the panic!"
