Everybody was in the palace, including those who had been eliminated.
Xuan Yuan, Yang Zi Lan, Yang Zi Ye, they were all there.
"Boom!" Yang Zi Lan released terrifying energies towards Lin Feng. He wanted to kill Lin Feng right away.
Lin Feng looked at him indifferently. He didn't even try to dodge the attack.
"HOW INSOLENT!" shouted a furious voice which made the whole palace shake. Sound waves crashed onto Yang Zi Lan's body which left him crawling on the ground and spitting out blood.
"Brother!" Yan Zi Ye looked alarmed.
Yang Zi Lan looked back at Hou Qing Lin while still spitting out blood. He didn't dare get furious again. Hou Qing Lin was incredibly strong. Even if Yang Zi Lan was rich and powerful, he couldn't do anything against Hou Qing Lin.
"Next time, I'll kill you!" said Hou Qing Lin coldly. Lin Feng was furious because Yang Zi Lan was disrespecting this holy place, Tiantai.
He had shown disrespect for Tiantai and its inhabitants. Yang Zi Lan was actually this impolite. Hou Qing Lin's attack wasn't even enough to punish Yang Zi Lan.
Yang Zi Lan didn't say anything. He felt like he had lost everything.
He belonged to a rich and powerful family. He had managed to climb up the stairs. He had thought he'd become an imperial cultivation disciple, but in the end, he was eliminated by Lin Feng.
Now, people would make fun of him in Ba Huang.
He couldn't even get his revenge while Hou Qing Lin was there. Hou Qing Lin could kill him with one finger. If he tried anything funny again, Hou Qing Lin would kill him. He was the emperors' direct disciple, he didn't fear the Yang's.
Yang Zi Lan was supported by a rich family, Hou Qing Lin was supported by emperors..
"You don't know how to differentiate good from bad." said Lin Feng mockingly.
Xuan Yuan looked at Lin Feng coldly, but didn't try anything.
Lin Feng glanced at Xuan Yuan and saw murder in his eyes. Of course, Xuan Yuan was furious. He was so strong, he was so famous, losing against Lin Feng wasn't something he longed for. Everybody knew that if Lin Feng and he were at the same level, he wouldn't have lost.
The news would spread quickly in Ba Huang.
"I told you clearly that those who had been eliminated could either continue practicing cultivation in Tiantai and apply to become imperial cultivation disciples in the second batch. Of course, you can leave too. Someone can show you the way if you want to leave. Nobody will force you to stay in Tiantai." said Hou Qing Lin.
Many people sighed. They had passed the first part of the exam, but not the second part. Now they didn't know what to do.
"You can go now." said Hou Qing Lin slowly. Those who had been eliminated simply left.
"I hope that you will become an imperial cultivation disciple and that you will stay in Tiantai so that they can protect you forever." said Yang Zi Lan coldly Lin Feng. Then, he left. He was crushed. A genius like him had failed.
"Forever? Ridiculous!" said Lin Feng glancing at him coldly. Surprisingly, Yang Zi Lan was threatening him. How ridiculous!
The Yang siblings left. However, everybody understood that the Yang Zi Lan wouldn't let Lin Feng off this easily. If Lin Feng ever left Tiantai, they would find him and kill him.
After they left, Hou Qing Lin took the crowd out of the palace and back on the road. There were palaces all around them. Everybody looked at those 81 palaces in the distance and hoped to end up in one of them soon.
If they became imperial cultivation disciples, they would be able to have their own palace in Tiantai. How glorious!
"Let's go." said Hou Qing Lin to the crowd. They continued walking. Someone suddenly came running up to Hou Qing Lin.
"Brother, how's it going?"
That person was also one of the emperors' direct disciples, Mu Chen.
"It's alright. We can switch now. I won't be worried if you take care of them. You just have to make sure they feel exhausted." Mu Chen smiled indifferently. Hou Qing Lin shook his head and smiled wryly, "Brother, you're too generous."
"Alright, be merciless." Mu Chen laughed wholeheartedly and Hou Qing Lin said, nodding, "Alright, they're yours. Brother, don't be too nice to them."
"Alright." said Mu Chen nodding and laughing. Hou Qing Lin then left.
After Hou Qing Lin left, Mu Chen smiled at the crowd and said, "You must be tired after those difficult challenges. I'll take you to a nice place!"
Mu Chen smiled indifferently, he gave everyone the impression he was easy-going. However, what did he mean by a "nice place"? They were wondering. Besides, from what Hou Qing Lin had said to Mu Chen, they were even more curious.
