152: Lead by example!

"Exactly, we should all share the blessings and the burdens together."

"If you insist on being different, I'm afraid you won't fit in."

Seeing the faint threat hidden in their words,

Chen Xian sneered.

This group of people wanted nothing more than that ten thousand year fire lotus.

Their calculations were so blatant they were practically hitting him in the face.

Yet he still said unhurriedly, "What if I simply refuse to take it out?"

These Prodigies glanced at each other,

as if they were making a secret resolution.

The smile on the leading Prodigy's face vanished, and his voice grew deep.

"If you don't, everyone might have quite a few objections."

"When the time comes, if anything irrational happens, don't blame us!"

"So, you're insisting that I take it out?"

Chen Xian said with a cold laugh!

Seeing him still beating around the bush,

an impatient Prodigy finally couldn't take it anymore.

Pointing at Chen Xian's nose, he cursed, "Chen Xian, stop playing dumb with us."

"Now, hurry up and take out that ten thousand year fire lotus, and we can still talk things through."

"If you don't, then don't blame us for being ruthless."

Seeing the other party getting straight to the point,

Chen Xian let out a scoff.

"That's more like it. You were all being so hypocritical just now that I could hardly stand to watch."

"Chen Xian, stop playing the fool. We admit you're strong, but after dealing with three Golden Core Stage experts, do you still have the strength to fight us?"

"Hand over the ten thousand year fire lotus now, and we might still spare your life!"

The gazes of many Prodigies had already landed on Zhou Duoer.

At this moment, Zhou Duoer was still a child after all, and she hid behind Chen Xian in terror.

Pei Ning said coldly, "I'm afraid you've forgotten about our existence!"

She and the ten Embroidered Uniform Guards stood across in front of Chen Xian.

Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi also assumed combat stances.

However, this group of Prodigies wasn't afraid at all. They had been weak before only because they were scared witless by those lunatics from the Western Continent.

Now that those lunatics were dead,

this place would ultimately be their world.

"By the way, not just the ten thousand year fire lotus, but also this Tiangou, and the sword at your waist."

"Hand them all over."

The Prodigy cracked his wrists and said with a grin, "Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Seeing them rubbing their hands and preparing for a fight,

Chen Xian sneered.

"Duoer, do you see? This is the human heart!"

"If you help someone, you won't necessarily be rewarded; instead, you might be bitten in return."

"Before doing anything, you must be prepared for the worst. Good people don't always get good rewards!"

"Do you understand?"

Zhou Duoer nodded earnestly.

Chen Xian then said with a smile, "Next, I'll teach you one more sentence."

"Good people don't always get good rewards, but bad people will definitely get bad retribution."

Just as he finished speaking,

he vanished from the spot.

Simultaneously, a bolt of lightning streaked through the group of Prodigies.

Wherever the lightning passed, these Prodigies didn't even have time to react.

They were charred on the outside and tender on the inside by the lightning!

At the same time, Sword Qi pierced through their hearts.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

Dozens of Prodigies collapsed to the ground in an instant.

The few remaining Prodigies saw this scene,

their faces turning deathly pale one by one.

"Chen Xian, you, you, you..."

"How can you still..."

Seeing them stuttering, Chen Xian sneered, "You want to ask how I can still lift a sword to kill, right?"

"Who told you that I would definitely be weakened after dealing with Golden Core Stage experts?"

These few Prodigies fell to their knees with a thud.

"Chen Xian, we were wrong!"

Although they had many grievances against Chen Xian before,

now that Chen Xian's sword was right above their heads, running was impossible!

Thus, they knelt down with incredible smoothness.

"Chen Xian, we were wrong."

"We were just bewitched by that kid earlier; we were possessed to follow them in their coercion."

"Please spare our lives. Once we get out, we will definitely have the Sects and families behind us befriend you."

Seeing them begging for mercy one by one,

Chen Xian ignored them and instead fixed his gaze on Zhou Duoer.

"Tell me, should I release them or kill them?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were gathered on Zhou Duoer.

The little girl was a bit nervous,

but she still whispered, "I... I... I don't know..."

After all, she was just a little girl; how could she know such things?

Especially a major matter like deciding someone's life or death.

Chen Xian, however, was relentless and said, "What if I insist on letting you decide!"

Zhou Duoer stood up and said honestly, "I..."

"I..."

She was a little girl after all, and she still felt a sense of compassion for these people.

But in the next second, Chen Xian said coldly, "Zhou Duoer, let me ask you: I let those few Crimson Flame Sect Disciples go earlier, so what did they do afterward?"

Hearing Chen Xian's words, Zhou Duoer understood instantly.

Those people from the Crimson Flame Sect had later brought those lunatics from the Western Continent to kill them!

This, she remembered clearly.

Zhou Duoer's gaze gradually became firm.

"Young Lord, kill them!"

"When dealing with enemies, one must pull them up by the roots; leave none alive!"

Chen Xian finally showed a gratified expression.

"Yes, indeed."

"It wasn't in vain that I've been teaching you along the way."

As soon as he finished speaking,

the sword in his hand had already fallen.

The heads of these few Prodigies kneeling on the ground rolled.

Until this moment,

the ground was covered in corpses.

Only those who had been following Chen Xian remained alive and unharmed.

However, the way these people looked at Chen Xian had changed.

At first, they thought Chen Xian was being soft-hearted by letting the Crimson Flame Sect Disciples go, and they thought these Prodigies would pose a significant threat to him.

As it turned out, they only realized now that this man had been teaching Zhou Duoer all along.

And it was teaching by example!

With such teaching effectiveness, as long as Zhou Duoer wasn't mentally deficient,

she would surely remember the survival Laws Chen Xian taught her.

Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi only now came to their senses.

What a terrifying man.

Pei Ning and the others also looked at Chen Xian in surprise.

If they were to follow someone like this, it didn't seem too bad.

At this point, Chen Xian had Zhou Duoer and Da Huang start scavenging the items these Prodigies had looted.

These dead Prodigies probably never expected that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

The items they had worked so hard to snatch from those lunatics of the Western Continent ended up benefiting someone else instead.

While they were scavenging,

Chen Xian's gaze landed on the System panel.

[Daily Intelligence 2: Three hundred miles to the east, there is a Divine Phoenix Ruin, a secret treasure left behind by the Divine Phoenix Clan.]

Divine Phoenix Clan!

Chen Xian's eyes lit up.

It was truly like being handed a pillow just as one was getting sleepy.

He was just considering how to plan Zhou Duoer's future path.

Now, a great opportunity had presented itself!
