Chapter 482 The Power of the Mortal World
"Luo Ye, tell your uncle first, who dared to treat you like this in the assessment world? As long as you tell me, this elder will have a way to deal with it!"
Luo Yuan's face was gloomy and his tone was ruthless. As an elder, he had already reached the pinnacle of his power.
There is nothing he cannot do within the entire sect. He may be invincible. Even if he openly kills dozens of disciples who are highly valued by the sect leader during the assessment, the sect leader will never blame him.
After all, geniuses are common, but experts at the Divine Envoy Realm are not.
Looking across the entire sect, finding a genius would be a piece of cake.
If finding a prodigy is like panning for gold in the sand, then at least one-tenth of the gold can be found in a single swipe. Prodigies are so few and so worthless.
Therefore, he was not worried at all about not finding a replacement for the next prodigy.
It should be understood that no matter how many geniuses there are, very few can truly grow to the level of a divine messenger.
Even some cultivators who were not considered geniuses eventually reached the Divine Envoy realm. For example, Luo Yuan himself had extremely poor talent for cultivation since childhood, was not tolerated by his family, and was looked down upon by everyone.
But later, through his family's resources and diligent cultivation, he achieved great success late in life, not only catching up with those who had surpassed him in the past.
He even surpassed his opponent by a wide margin, becoming an elder of the Star Devouring Sect with a highly respected position.
Most of the geniuses who were once stronger than him have died young, and few have survived.
Even those few who survived were only at the Divine Disciple Realm.
Even at best, one can only reach the Divine Servant realm, and there is no further progress beyond that.
That is why his value far exceeds that of anyone who passes the assessment.
Therefore, it's impossible to offend them.
"Uncle, those people are Li Lan and Da Niu. These two ganged up on me and humiliated me in every way. They've gone too far!"
Then Luo Ye embellished the story and made it up, basically saying how he was bullied and beaten by Li Lan and Da Niu, and that he wouldn't have survived if he hadn't been so lucky.
"But Uncle, I don't want to kill them so easily, otherwise it would be too easy on them."
Luo Ye said.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan immediately became interested:
"Oh, what do you plan to do?"
Luo Ye's lips curled slightly, and he gave a cold smile:
"Uncle, I want you to send Li Lan and Da Niu to the alchemy room as cooks, so that they will be stuck in the alchemy room's handyman's quarters for the rest of their lives, as servants for the rest of their lives."
hiss~!
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan gasped, staring in shock at his nephew. This method was ruthless and cruel.
You must understand that once you become a disciple in the alchemy room, everything will be out of your control.
Even their own life and death were in the hands of others.
They want to give birth so that they can give birth.
They want to die, so they must die.
But if any of the boys, that is, the cooks, dare to harbor resentment towards others, they will suffer the cruelest punishment.
"Not bad, looks like you're quite clever."
Luo Yuan looked at his nephew with satisfaction.
He never expected that even he, a ruthless, despicable, and shameless person who had reached this point through various insidious means, hadn't thought that he could achieve his goals by bullying others in this way.
Compared to his own methods of poisoning, sneaking attacks, or assassination, or spending large sums of money to hire assassination organizations, which not only wastes money but also...
And it's easy for problems to arise.
The main reason is that my nephew's method is absolutely wonderful.
Once they are assigned to be cooks, they will lose their freedom and human rights. Even if they are killed, they can be branded as disrespectful to their elders, and then the disciples of the Star Devouring Sect can kill them.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Uncle's excellent teaching."
Luo Ye laughed.
"Alright, you just wait and see. I'll report this to the elders."
Luo Yuan assured him, smiling as he spoke.
He is very confident.
Moreover, he has plenty of ways to explain things to the elders and everyone else.
"Yes, Uncle, then I'll be leaving now."
Luo Ye turned and left; this was the elder's mountain palace.
At this moment, he was already very excited and looked forward to seeing Li Lan and Da Niu's miserable state after being enslaved by him.
Stepping out of the council hall, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Mo Chen sat on the sect leader's throne, with ten chairs beside him, representing the First Elder, Second Elder, and so on up to the Tenth Elder.
They could only sit on either side, all sitting upright with solemn expressions.
"This matter..."
Mo Chen spoke solemnly to the elders around him, "I have summoned you all here today for no other reason than to discuss one thing: how to prevent our sect's disciples from encountering such a situation again. We must never again bring trouble upon ourselves and bring disaster upon the entire clan."
The elders looked at each other in silence.
What can they do?
The disciples of the sect have actually made many sacrifices and contributions for the sect.
To grow and make contributions, one must leave the sect and gain experience in the outside world.
Some even need to cross worlds to reach other larger worlds.
They might join a team to protect certain people, or go to hunt down someone, or venture into special and eerie areas that even the Four Great Divine Realms dare not easily set foot in, to obtain certain things.
These are all important sources of income for their sect to survive, and naturally, the sect disciples need to carry them out.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to completely eliminate this matter. Who knows that some seemingly ordinary people you encounter outside may actually be terrifying beings?
Just like the candidates who participated in this assessment, apart from a few from wealthy families who were dressed in fine clothes, even the strongest among them were not all the same.
For example, Blood Butcher is ruthless and possesses powerful cultivation.
However, he was dressed in the simple attire of a mountain villager. When he walked on the road, people would think he was a poor farmer from a poor family. Who would associate him with a strongman?
Therefore, it is essentially impossible to completely eliminate this problem.
Unless they confine all their disciples to a certain range and constantly ensure that no one stronger than the disciples exists within that range, they can avoid disaster.
But this also means that their sect's foundation will be greatly reduced, and it will never be able to become a top power in a world like it is now.
This time, seeing that all the elders remained silent, Sect Master Mo Chen also looked troubled and heavy-hearted, and sighed helplessly.
"I am naturally aware of this matter, and it would be unreasonable to force you to do something you shouldn't."
Mo Chen said, "Then we can only pray that our sect disciples will act more wisely and decisively in the future, and not provoke powerful figures they shouldn't, bringing destruction to the sect. Please, please don't do anything foolish again!"
Mo Chen was deeply saddened by the thought that one of his most valued disciples had been pushed out to take the blame by his own hands.
He was filled with immense pain.
He wanted to cultivate a successor, and Long Xiao was the one he had always had his eye on.
It should be noted that Long Xiao is ruthless, decisive, and exceptionally intelligent. At such a young age, he is only a few hundred years older than Luo Ye, yet he has already become a terrifyingly powerful divine messenger.
Such a speed of cultivation can even be described as unprecedented and unparalleled.
At least in the entire history of the Star Devouring Sect, no disciple has ever achieved such a rapid advancement, even compared to himself.
But his most valued disciple has ended up like this.
"That's enough, let's leave it at that for today."
Mo Chen said helplessly, "Do any of you elders have anything else to report? If not, let's adjourn the meeting."
With that, Mo Chen glanced at each of the elders present and prepared to get up and leave.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out near the gate.
"Sect Master, please wait. This elder has something to report."
Luo Yuan stood up abruptly from his seat, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and stood in the center of the hall, looking directly at Sect Master Mo Chen.
Seeing Luo Yuan's lack of understanding of the situation, Mo Chen, who was already irritable, became even more displeased, and a sense of dissatisfaction suddenly rose in his heart.
"Is it really that annoying if he can't see me? He really has no sense of propriety at all. It seems his position as the Tenth Elder is truly over."
Mo Chen thought to himself with disgust, wishing he could go up and slap Luo Yuan across the face right now.
Is he really incompetent at his job? How did he even get to this position?
Luo Yuan was well aware of Mo Chen's dissatisfaction, but he didn't care.
To know.
His position as the tenth elder was not promoted by the sect leader.
Rather, it was the Supreme Ancestor who deliberately placed him in this position during his reign.
Therefore, even if the sect leader is dissatisfied with him, it is not so easy for him to be dismissed.
Furthermore, he is not talking about trivial matters now. The arrangements needed after passing the assessment are important and of paramount importance, and what he is doing is perfectly normal.
"Sect Master, now that the assessment is over, please advise on how to arrange for the disciples who passed."
Luo Yuan stated frankly.
Upon hearing what it was all about, Mo Chen immediately became impatient and sighed speechlessly.
He now strongly suspects that Luo Yuan, who is standing in the center of the hall, is there to make him look bad. Can't you tell that he's still unhappy?
And the matter of assigning disciples after passing the assessment is a very simple matter that is not worth his time. Why bring it up at this time? Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for him?
However, since Luo Yuan brought it up...
As the sect leader, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and continue listening to Luo Yuan.
"Sect Master and Elders, the allocation of personnel after this assessment is of paramount importance to our sect, as it concerns the future succession. We urge you to take this matter seriously."
Luo Yuan said in a very serious tone.
A slight smile played on his lips.
Don't be fooled by his respectful and humble demeanor, as if he's genuinely asking for their instructions. In reality, it's all just a show he puts on for everyone to see.
You should know that Mo Chen has no time to deal with this matter right now. If I bring it up now, Mo Chen will definitely find a way to push it onto me.
Then I can take over the matter naturally and make the arrangements.
After all, this sect leader and the other elders, including himself.
Before the disciples who passed the assessment were known, they would have to wait until one of the elders arranged where these disciples would go and under which elder they would study before they could find out who the so-called core disciples would be.
Otherwise, they would never know who passed the test.
For example, before his nephew Luo Ye came to him.
He had no idea that there were people named Li Lan and Da Niu in this assessment.
Besides, he wasn't interested in it anyway. It wasn't like his nephew had been wronged and came to him for help; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with these things.
As expected, just as he thought, Mo Chen immediately became annoyed and his face turned ugly when Luo Yuan mentioned that he had to report such a simple matter to him.
