“Miss, he wasn’t dead. He passed out from being too angry!” replied Old Man Ying, finally started to smile.

“Are you serious?” Cheng Xiao Xiao raised her brows in surprise before giving the man next to her a thumbs up. “Awesome job! I didn’t know you have this skill to kill by anger!”

“What are you talking about!” chuckled Mo Xuanzun as he shook his head. “He had sustained serious injuries and had difficulty breathing. He only passed out because he was having a difficulty time breathing was all.”

“Aiya, it’d be better if he died from anger. Someone like that being alive was just a waste of food and oxygen. The earlier he dies, the better!”

“Oh, you….” Said Mo Xuanzun dotingly. He turned and looked back at the man on the ground, “No matter what. Let’s take him back with us and see what Clan Master Qin wants to do with him!”

“Miss, let me lock him up in the room. We will bring him with us on our way back!” Old Man Ying picked the man up again and brought him into the room.

At the same time, Elder Ying also brought back the winners from today’s competition. This time there were 80 of them, and most of them were very highly cultivated.

Most common families would never have individuals of this caliber applying for positions at their courts. The face that these individuals were willing to be a part of the Count’s court was because of the resources that the Cheng’s possessed. This point was quite obvious.

When these individuals saw Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun, they were surprised but not entirely unexpected. After all, almost everyone was aware that they were in town.

Among them all, Gu Chengli and Zongzheng Zhuxuan were the ones with the highest cultivation level. Now that they both showed up here at the same time, it looked like they were both serious about joining the Count’s court.

The two normally very prideful individuals weren’t able to bring about their haughtiness at all in front of Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun; quite contrarily, they felt both surprised and unexpected.

Never mind that Mo Xuanzun wasn’t someone that they could afford to offend, but once they felt the deep and mysterious qi exuded from him, they were surprised but still found their feelings rational. No matter what, the reputation of the Temple of Divine Plans had been seared into the minds of these cultivators for a long time ago. No matter what cultivation level Mo Xuanzun was, they would not be surprised.

What they found truly stunning was Cheng Xiao Xiao. She was just a 16-year-old girl, yet she was able to reached the level of martial king, same as the two of them! Martial King! Not martial master or martial spiritualist. How many on this continent were able to become martial king? Even the two of them, they have overcome all sorts of challenges and had many lucky moments and, even so, it had taken them some 30 years to become martial kings.

Being martial kings allowed them to feel prideful among all other cultivators. Yet, they now felt that they couldn’t remotely measure up to this 16-year-old girl in front of them. Tens of years of cultivation seemed to have just been wasted. They were like night and day when comparing to her. They were not even in the same league.

As powerful as Cheng Xiao Xiao was rumored, they assumed she would be a martial master at best. They had never expected her to also be a martial king. Their pride was crushed in an instant and they dare not show any signs of arrogant in front of Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun.

“Gu Chengli, Zongzheng Zhuxuan. You are both martial kings. Are you sure you want to join the Cheng’s?”

Cheng Xiao Xiao could read all the emotions on them. The two normally prideful person looking devastated in front of her. She has an idea about what went through their minds.

The two who were named looked up at the nonchalant Cheng Xiao Xiao and nodded. They did, indeed, want to join the Cheng’s.
