178: What's the meaning?

The Sect Master of the Dragon Tiger Sect was so terrified that he knelt down immediately. Only now did he realize what kind of person he had provoked—someone who didn't even care about the people from the Profound Realm.

"King of the Town, I was wrong, I was wrong! I deserve to die. Please spare my dog's life. A piece of trash like me isn't worth your effort..."

Bang! The Dragon Tiger Sect Master also exploded.

He would kill even those who begged for mercy. Everyone present felt a deep-seated fear of Jiang Ye; he was like a God of Slaughter! Offending him was almost certainly a death sentence.

Jiang Ye said, "The Slot Competition continues! Your cultivation hasn't been easy, and you deserve a chance to compete for a spot in the Four Domains Grand Competition."

No one on the scene dared to object. The host immediately announced the official start of the competition! Some geniuses without backgrounds finally saw hope, no longer worrying that their slots would be suppressed by those powerful forces even if they won them.

A young man jumped onto the battle stage before the drawing of lots had even begun. He asked Jiang Ye, "Is it true that as long as one has strength, they can get a slot even without a background?"

Jiang Ye was somewhat puzzled and asked him, "What do you mean? Aren't we selecting the most powerful geniuses right now?"

The young man shook his head and said, "No! It has never been that way. If we have no background, even if we win a slot, those powers will send their experts to take it from us or kill us. It's impossible for us to represent the Southern Domain in the Four Domains Grand Competition."

Jiang Ye looked at the members of the royal family and shouted, "Is that so?"

Xia Li was startled and said, "This... for the past ten years, the royal family has been controlled by the Ye Family of the Profound Realm. We aren't very clear on the details either."

Jiang Ye suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha! No wonder this Southern Domain is the weakest of the four domains; it has already rotted to this extent! How many of you here have strength but no powerful background to support you? Step forward!"

Hidden geniuses from some small Sects jumped onto the battle stage one after another. This was the opportunity they had been waiting for!

Jiang Ye glanced over and saw seven people. He said, "Release your Realm aura. There's no need to hide it anymore."

Boom! Eight powerful auras at or above the seventh level of the Profound Breaking Realm surged toward Jiang Ye. With a slight tremor, he bounced them back directly, and the seven young geniuses retreated a dozen steps.

"Hahaha! This is the Southern Domain's Slot Competition? Real geniuses are suppressed and afraid to show their faces, while trash is sent to compete with the other three domains. Your bullshit royal family deserves to be controlled for all these years!"

Jiang Ye loudly cursed the members of the royal family, but not one of them dared to speak up because this man was a God of Slaughter!

Zheng Shao, the Hall Master of the Great Sun Palace, stood up and said, "The royal family has always been the supreme ruler of the Southern Domain. To curse them like this in front of hundreds of thousands of people is going too far!"

Sheng Ying, who had previously followed Jiang Ye into the Xuanling Space, turned pale with fright. At a time like this, their Hall Master actually dared to defy Jiang Ye!

"Hall Master! You mustn't!" Sheng Ying pleaded loudly.

Zheng Shao said, "Humph! No matter how strong you are, you're just a kid in your early twenties. I don't believe you'd dare to kill all the top experts of our Southern Domain."

Jiang Ye walked toward the Great Sun Palace's direction. The other Elders and Disciples were breaking out in cold sweat from fear.

"So you're the Hall Master of the Great Sun Palace, one of the so-called three major powers in this capital? It seems you've stolen quite a few slots from geniuses without major backgrounds before!"

"Humph! Those people have no potential for the future at all. Giving them slots is just a waste. And you! Don't think that being powerful for a moment allows you to be reckless. Your end will surely be miserable!"
