"The supremacy of the Emperor's Son is terrifying to the extreme."
Qin Canghai suddenly woke up, his face filled with a flattering smile, immediately kneeling and submitting.
Seeing this, others also followed suit, bowing to Su Ming in greeting.
For a moment, no one in the entire sect dared to look up.
Ye Chen, who had barely gained some prestige with his strength and words, saw it all dissipate in an instant.
After all, no matter how high his talent or promising his future, once he offended the Demon Emperor's Son, there was only one road left.... death!
Behind him, Qin Yingluo’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Ming, her gaze now tinged with admiration.
Strong... Invincible.
Such a domineering and terrifying existence was truly the one most worth following.
At this moment, Qin Yingluo's heart had completely turned toward Su Ming.
[Ding! Qin Yingluo is completely disappointed in Ye Chen, Ye Chen’s luck value decreases by 100.]
[Ding! Ye Chen loses the support of people’s hearts, luck value decreases by 100 points.]
[Ding! Host's domineering behavior displays the power of the Demon Lord, reward: Demonic charm value increases by 3,000 points.]
A series of system prompts rang in Su Ming’s ears.
Su Ming was quite satisfied.
This was a nice little windfall.
Under continuous suppression, Ye Chen's luck value had been halved.
His gaze shifted, and he re-examined Ye Chen’s status panel.
Ye Chen: Child of Destiny
Secret Treasure: Extreme Ice Divine Talisman, Primal Ancestor Dragon Fist
Luck Core: Divine Talisman Stone Tower
Luck Value: 500 points
[Once the luck value drops below 100 points, he will lose the title of Child of Destiny.]
Current Kill Rewards: Extreme Wind Dao Technique, Dragon Strike Staff, Emerald Sea Silver Tide Formula...
"Eh? Updated?"
Su Ming’s eyes lit up.
This was likely a result of Ye Chen’s luck value being reduced multiple times, causing the drop rate to increase significantly.
Previously, when Ye Chen’s luck value was 1,000 points, the kill rewards were displayed as "None."
But now, not only were there kill rewards, but a new entry "Luck Core" had appeared.
"Interesting."
"However, the current drops are not much to look at."
Su Ming quickly browsed through the rewards.
The best reward was the Extreme Wind Dao Technique, a powerful spell of a relatively high grade.
It was likely the technique Ye Chen had comprehended at the Ancient Tower of Cangyun Dao Sect.
This spell, when cast, could turn spiritual power into a storm, carrying a tornado with immense destructive power.
For ordinary people, this was already a great spell.
But to Su Ming, it was still far from sufficient.
"His luck value is still too much."
"Ye Chen’s luck core has been revealed, in simple terms, this is his cheat."
"The Divine Talisman Stone Tower, so this is it. It is said to be the summary of twelve divine talismans left by the Ancient Saints."
"The Extreme Ice Divine Talisman in his hand is one of them. Each divine talisman contains a divine technique."
"If one can fully comprehend the divine technique, they would master a domain and gain unmatched power."
"Only the one who possesses the Stone Tower can refine the divine talismans."
"However, this is the root of Ye Chen’s luck. To obtain it, I can't kill him just yet."
Su Ming calculated in his mind, remaining calm and patient.
Since he couldn’t kill him with one blow, he might as well enjoy the process.
After all, Ye Chen wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble.
At this moment...
"Emperor’s Son, this person is arrogant and disregards the Emperor’s Son’s majesty. I suggest we execute him immediately!"
The Silver Moon Holy Son stood up, his gaze fierce.
Not only him, but the people from the Silver Moon Dao Sect and the Guicang Dao Sect all stared coldly at Ye Chen.
Only a few from the Cangyun Dao Sect seemed to hesitate, as though unwilling to take action.
Despite Ye Chen offending the Infinite Demon Palace and committing grave sins, they didn’t dare openly oppose it.
But after all, he was a fellow disciple, someone they had shared many experiences with, and a few of them had a good relationship with him.
Su Ming observed everything from the side.
Here, even if he killed Ye Chen, no one would dare say anything.
However, Su Ming had no intention of doing that yet.
Since he didn’t plan to kill him, he might as well let Ye Chen play a little longer.
"No need."
"After all, he’s also a disciple of the Cangyun Dao Sect. Though he’s reckless, he came back for the safety of the sect."
"Qin Dao Master, you can deal with him as you see fit."
Su Ming spoke calmly.
Qin Canghai was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed gratitude.
The Emperor’s Son’s heart was truly broad.
Ye Chen had dared to be so arrogant toward the Demon Emperor’s Son, yet instead of killing him outright, he was giving them the chance to handle it themselves.
Clearly, Su Ming had spared Ye Chen’s life.
"Ah, ah."
"Ye Chen, compared to the Emperor’s Son, you are truly too far behind."
Qin Canghai respectfully bowed to Su Ming: "Thank you, Emperor’s Son."
He then turned to Ye Chen, his voice cold: "Ye Chen, do you realize your mistake?"
"I... I did nothing wrong!"
"Su Ming, if you have the ability, come and face me in a fair duel with equal cultivation!"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, still full of anger.
His face twisted in fury.
After a series of setbacks, Ye Chen’s mentality was starting to collapse.
He had always been the Child of Destiny, holding a golden finger, and had enjoyed countless victories by turning the tide of battle.
He had always believed in his own luck.
But today’s battle not only caused him to lose the support of his fellow disciples but also failed to withstand even a single attack from Su Ming's glowing gaze, which twisted Ye Chen’s psyche.
Seeing this, even the people from the Cangyun Dao Sect furrowed their brows.
"Ye Chen is truly ungrateful!"
"Exactly, the Emperor’s Son spared him, and he still talks back."
"Ah, I guess I misjudged him."
Several people sighed.
As Ye Chen’s master, Qin Canghai could not hide his disappointment either.
When he first took Ye Chen in, he had thought him to be a young man with potential and responsibility.
Now it seemed, he was nothing but a troublemaker.
"Ye Chen you.... Deprive Ye Chen of his cultivation and throw him into the Flame Pit."
Qin Canghai issued the order, filled with anger and disappointment.
