Di Qing’s expression shifted, and he looked at his hands, as if realizing something.
He was almost sixty years old now. Although he appeared to be in his thirties or forties, in the prime of his life, he was actually sixty!
At sixty, he was still at the peak of Dongxuan.
Jian Chen’an was originally his junior brother.
The title of senior brother came after Jian Chen’an’s breakthrough, according to the rules of Misty Immortal Palace. Those who reached higher cultivation levels took precedence.
Therefore, he had to call Jian Chen’an “Senior Brother.”
“Di Qing, this is a trial, no longer your comfort zone!”
Wu Zongshen also emphasized, “Now, you need to face reality! This is your last chance, otherwise, you will never break through in this lifetime.”
These words were harsh, but they were the kind of words only spoken among fellow disciples.
This was the reality.
“No… impossible…”
Di Qing’s face instantly turned ashen.
He staggered to his feet, ignoring the injuries to his shoulders from the weighted run. He pointed at his two senior brothers, “You are lying, lying…”
Then, he looked at Huang Derui.
“You! You too!”
Di Qing stared intently at Huang Derui, and as he spoke, his true qi erupted: “I’ll show you my might! And make you stop smirking!”
In his eyes, the expressionless Huang Derui was clearly smirking.
“Junior Brother!”
Seeing Di Qing’s sudden attack, his two senior brothers moved to intervene almost simultaneously. However, they couldn’t guarantee a hundred percent interception of such a sudden move! They could only do their best.
But regardless of the outcome, they were certain that Di Qing would not only be punished here but would also be expelled from Misty Immortal Palace forever.
This was bullying the weak, a violation of their sect’s rules.
Moreover, Di Qing was no longer fit to continue his studies in the Immortal Palace.
“Senior Brother!”
Seeing this, the two junior brothers who were resting also looked extremely worried. A minor argument in the mess hall had led to them being forced to carry weights for fifty kilometers. Now, if Ye Chen found out that Di Qing had attacked…
What would happen?
They couldn’t imagine it.
And, if they remembered correctly, according to the laws and regulations outside the Inner Realm, as well as military discipline, Di Qing was probably finished.
Huang Derui’s brow furrowed. He felt the pressure emanating from Di Qing.
The true qi, exceeding his cultivation realm by a significant margin, was immense. He felt his internal true qi circulation stagnate.
However, as a member of the Dragon King Army, as a soldier who had fought alongside Lin Xiao through thick and thin for years, as a squad leader of the Dragon King Army, how could he surrender?
He executed evasive maneuvers to the best of his ability, his gaze fixed on Di Qing. His hand drew the military saber from his waist, and instead of retreating, he advanced!
He was confident that even if Di Qing’s palm struck him, his saber would pierce Di Qing first!
This move tested not only his true qi but also his physical body, which was pushed to its limits as a member of the Dragon King Army, almost beyond human limits!
Without his powerful physique, this saber strike wouldn’t have been possible.
Late, but arriving first!
His blade moved faster, about to pierce Di Qing’s body.
It was precisely because Di Qing was from Misty Immortal Palace that he managed to forcibly change his stance at this moment, twisting his body to avoid the saber. He retreated three steps.
Those three steps were enough.
Jian Chen’an and Wu Zongshen instantly pinned Di Qing to the ground.
“Di Qing!”
Wu Zongshen roared, “From today onwards, you are expelled from the sect!”
