Chapter 1088 Kneel Down
The two Yao Sect disciples guarding the gate were dozing off when suddenly they saw three people wearing the Human Hall robes walking toward them.
The two disciples rubbed their eyes, thinking they might be mistaken, but when they realized it wasn't an illusion, cold smiles crept onto their lips.
"Damn, it's been a long time since any brat from the Human Hall dared to provoke us. Didn't expect three of them to come seeking death this time." The two disciples whistled, and in the blink of an eye, over ten Yao Sect disciples from the Heaven Hall ran out of a building.
As Lin Chen and his companions arrived at the mountain gate, a disciple named Yao Bin stepped forward to block their way.
"Are you blind? Is this the path you're supposed to take?" Yao Bin said coldly.
Lin Chen stopped, smiled lightly, and said, "Isn't this a path for humans? Or do only beasts walk through this gate every day?"
"What the hell!" Yao Bin's face changed drastically upon hearing this.
Lin Chen's words had a broad implication, clearly calling the people from the Heaven and Earth Halls beasts.
Watching this scene, the crowd from the Human Hall stopped, their eyes burning as they looked at Lin Chen and his companions.
Over the years, every time Human Hall disciples entered the mountain, they had to pay a tribute. Though it wasn't much, over time, it amounted to a lot.
However, since Human Hall was always at the bottom during the annual trials, and nobody dared to speak up, they had to swallow their pride.
This time, Lin Chen dared to step up, which excited the oppressed Human Hall disciples immensely.
"Kid, are you looking for death?" Yao Bin glared at Lin Chen with a cold look.
"I just want to know, since this is a pathway for people, why can't the disciples of the Human Hall walk it?" Lin Chen asked lightly.
Yao Bin sneered, finally understanding that this guy was clearly here to stir up trouble.
"Because you're from the Human Hall, which is ranked lowest. Therefore, you are the lowest in the sect, and paying tribute is only right. Do you understand?" Yao Bin said coldly.
Lin Chen nodded with a hint of comprehension. "So that's how it is, but the rules need to change from today."
"Change the rules? Just you?" Yao Bin looked at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Even though, in the beginning, some disciples from the Human Hall were dissatisfied with the rules and even caused incidents, once the experts from the Heaven and Earth Halls intervened, crushing those daring to challenge, no one else dared to speak up.
As a result, it became an unwritten rule in the sect; today, this kid dares to change it.
"Brothers, did you hear that? This kid wants to change the rules." Yao Bin said with a forced smile.
The Heaven Hall disciples burst into laughter as if they'd heard the most ridiculous thing.
"Kid, have you lost your mind? Truly idiotic."
"Well, it's been a while since we've had a fight, my hands are itching. Since someone is courting death, we'll oblige them."
"By the way, aren't those two behind this kid the same ones who got beaten yesterday? Seems like yesterday's thrashing wasn't enough, and they've come back for more." A bald disciple next to Yao Bin sneered.
Lin Chen's gaze turned cold as he looked at the bald disciple. "You were involved yesterday?"
The bald disciple looked at Hong Liang and Zhang Cheng and sneered, "Of course, I not only used my hands but also my feet. What, not satisfied?"
Lin Chen nodded, and his figure suddenly flashed, disappearing from sight.
"What speed!" Everyone's complexion changed.
In an instant, Lin Chen appeared in front of the bald disciple like a ghostly shadow.
Before the bald disciple could react, Lin Chen's palm had already slapped his face.
"Smack!"
The sound of a loud slap echoed at the mountain gate.
The bald disciple's body spun like a top and tumbled down the stairs.
Witnessing this, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.
"Has this kid gone mad, daring to hit a Heaven Hall disciple?"
Seeing the bald disciple covered in blood at the bottom of the stairs, Yao Bin's expression changed slightly, his eyes flashing with anger.
"Kid, you dare to hit our Heaven Hall disciple?"
Lin Chen sneered coldly, "Since he dared to hit others, he should also be prepared to be hit. Move aside, or you'll end up like him."
"Alright, alright, brothers, get him. End this foolish kid." Yao Bin commanded, murder flashing in his eyes.
In an instant, more than ten Heaven Hall disciples surrounded Lin Chen, their eyes fierce.
Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads.
Although Lin Chen was well-known in the Human Hall, within the sect, he was merely heard of.
Among these dozen individuals, three were Void God Realm experts, and several others were at the peak of the Cloud Sea Realm. Even if Lin Chen was strong, he would struggle against such a lineup.
"Attack!" Yao Bin snorted, ordering the group.
Instantly, the group lunged at Lin Chen like hungry wolves.
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng and Hong Liang's faces changed; they were about to rush to help Lin Chen but heard his voice in their ears.
"Don't interfere; leave it to me."
While they hesitated, an aura exploded from Lin Chen as the center.
"Boom!" Under this momentum, the Heaven Hall disciples were blown away.
Some rolled down the stairs like the bald disciple, while others fell heavily on their backsides.
"How is this possible!" Everyone was in awe watching this.
This guy hadn't even lifted a finger; his sheer aura alone was enough to blow away Heaven Hall experts.
Yao Bin's face turned pale with fear, not expecting Lin Chen to be so powerful.
The disciples from the Heaven and Earth Halls were astounded.
They couldn't believe someone so ruthless appeared in the Human Hall.
Watching Lin Chen slowly approach, Yao Bin retreated two steps and said, "Kid, you dare fight our Heaven Hall, you're dead, just you wait."
Saying so, Yao Bin turned to flee but froze in place.
"Did I say you could leave?" An icy voice came from behind him.
"You, what do you want?" Seeing Lin Chen approach, Yao Bin's face turned grim.
"You just said our Human Hall is the lowest rank, right? I want you to kneel and apologize to the Human Hall disciples." Lin Chen said calmly.
"Kneel and apologize? That's impossible." Yao Bin gritted his teeth.
After all, he had the backing of the Heaven Hall and Yao Sect; kneeling would disgrace not just himself but the entire Yao Bin name.
"Kneel!" Lin Chen's words fell, and an icy aura enveloped Yao Bin.
Yao Bin felt as if a mountain weighed on him; his knees buckled, and he knelt before Lin Chen.
