Chapter 102 - Supreme Order!
🕑 Added 2025-03-25 13:50:26 +0000 UTCIn the area of the Golden Pagoda, not far from where its upper half had collapsed, cultivators from the Golden Sword Sect and its allies gathered.
The air buzzed with quiet murmurs of curiosity. Everyone wondered what Jian Zixuan was about to say, and why he called for a meeting. Was he announcing a reward? Or perhaps revealing a new plan?
"What do you think this is about?" someone whispered.
"No idea. But shouldn’t Senior let us rest? We’ve been fighting for days."
"I know, right? Who knows when the God Spawns will return… We need a break."
……
……
……
The hushed voices drifted through the crowd, tension lingering in the air.
Hengsheng and Yunsu hid in concealment mode, staying out of sight. He didn’t want anyone to notice them — especially Yunsu, who had become quite popular among the cultivators for both her cuteness and her contributions in the battle against the God Spawns. More importantly, he did not want to alert the traitors.
Jian Zixuan stepped forward, with a few of his close aides following behind him. His presence immediately drew the attention of many, as everyone present already knew who he was and how powerful he was, many still remember the scene of his sword cutting through thousands of God Spawns with a single strike.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Jian!" One of the Golden Sword sect disciple bow.
"Greetings……" The others follow suit.
"…."
The Silver Lotus Pavilion's disciples gazed at him with fascination. Most of these female cultivators saw men as useless, but a powerful young genius like Jian Zixuan was a rare treasure in their eyes.
They giggled and tried to make themselves look attractive. They hoped he would notice them.
Hengsheng observed the scene, unable to stop himself from cursing silently.
'These girls are hopeless… They’re the same in every world, aren’t they?'
After greeting each other, Jian Zixuan faced everyone present. His gaze swept across the crowd as he tried to sense any suspicious signs, but there were none. Then, he spoke.
"I apologize for disturbing you after such a long battle. I agree — we all need a break." His eyes narrowed.
"However, the battle doesn't end yet." Jian Zixuan said.
A murmur rippled through the crowd. Some exchanged uneasy glances, while others stiffened, their expressions turning serious.
"What does he mean?" one cultivator whispered.
"We’re not done?" another muttered, disbelief in their voice.
"But I don't see any more God Spawns here."
Jian Zixuan gestured making them silent.
Then.
Jian Zixuan draws his sword, seeing Jian Zixuan's action the atmosphere immediately becomes tense.
"There’s a traitor among us," Jian Zixuan announced coldly.
"I command you all: anyone who jumps, attack them immediately."
"What?" Everyone was puzzled, even his close aides behind him didn't understand what Jian Zixuan was doing.
However, before they had a chance to process anything,
Hengsheng, who had been waiting for a while, canceled the concealment mode and appeared in front of Jian Zixuan. This immediately made everyone's eyes turn toward him.
They were shocked by the sudden appearance of an unknown person. Plus, with the words Jian Zixuan had just said, many assumed that Hengsheng was an enemy. But before they could do anything, Hengsheng took action.
He pointed his finger at them, then shouted.
Ding!

"SUPREME ORDER! Traitors, I command you to jump on your own two feet!" a voice rang out, echoing throughout the whole place.
……
Thud Thud Thud Thud Thud Thud…..
Multiple loud thuds echoed as the traitors were forced to leap, their feet landing heavily on the ground.
"You!!" Jian Zixuan roared in an unbelieving tone, his expression filled with shock. It was because among the ones who jumped were those who had come from behind him.
"DIE!" Jian Zixuan's sword immediately stabbed right into the heart of Feng Tianye, his heart ached like he was the one who was being stabbed.
"Cough!" Feng Tianye coughed up blood. He could not believe he would end like this.
Before he died, he sent his Divine Sense into the communication artifact and triggered the self-destruction order, destroying it and cutting off the connection between this place and the Golden Sword sect above.
"Haha… You fool…" Feng Tianye is dead.
Jian Zixuan's eyes were bloodshot and filled with a feeling of betrayal. Feng Tianye had followed him for a long time, and he considered him a younger brother. But who knew how long Feng Tianye had been a traitor? Was it from the start? Thinking about it only caused him pain.
Jian Zixuan gazed across the place and saw the battlefield, where the traitors, after being revealed, tried to flee into the woods. But he would not allow it. He disappeared from the spot to hunt down the traitors.
……
Hengsheng observed the scene with mixed feelings. He saw many others facing the same situation as Jian Zixuan—finding out that their close ones were traitors.
Among the 600 cultivators present, there were 20 traitors. It may not sound like a large number, but it was indeed significant. Imagine what these 20 could do if they pretended to help while, in fact, they were the ones leading others to their deaths.
More than half of the traitors were killed on the spot. The others were lucky enough to slip away and flee, while the Golden Sword sect disciples pursued them tirelessly.
However, Hengsheng didn’t think any of them would escape. because he saw Jian Zixuan himself move, he believed none of them would survive for long.
"Oh! I thought you were one of them. What a surprise — you're not." While Hengsheng's gaze swept across the place, he found someone he had suspected to be one of the bad guys, only to realize that they were not.
"You!!" Zhu Mingjun roared with anger. This person was the bully who tried to make Hengsheng kneel, but of course, Hengsheng was not the one to kneel in the end.
Around where Zhu Mingjun stood were the corpses of his former followers, as five of the traitors had been his underlings, and he had killed them himself.
Zhu Mingjun sensed that Hengsheng was mocking him, but he did nothing, only roaring in frustration because he knew he was no match for the other side. He then walked away with the rest of his underlings, who were still shocked that their fellows were traitors.
Hengsheng gazes at them before his gaze shifts to another group who walks toward him.
"Greetings, Big Brother Hengsheng!" Lan Baixing bowed, his tone filled with excitement. He had suspected Hengsheng was here after spotting his cat on the battlefield a few days ago.
Hengsheng’s presence brought him a sense of safety, a comforting anchor while navigating among unfamiliar faces.
"Greetings, Big Brother Hengsheng!" Lan Xuanyan and Lan Yueli bowed in unison. Though they had grown much stronger than before due to the power of the System, they still felt far from truly safe. Hengsheng’s arrival eased that unease, if only a little.
"Greetings, my young brothers and sisters. I’ve heard you’ve been doing well — keep it up, and don’t bring shame to our clan." Hengsheng paused, his gaze shifting.
"Hmm… what about you, young brother Xiaorong? Why aren’t you coming to greet your Big Brother?" Hengsheng said, emitting his dominant aura and extending it so that Lan Xiaorong could feel it.
Lan Xiaorong trembled with anger, but he did not dare to say anything because he saw the cat on Hengsheng's head sharpening her claws while gazing at him.
"Greeting…" Lan Xiaorong said, bowing slightly.
"Where is 'Big Brother'?" Hengsheng asked.
Lan Xiaorong clenched his fists tightly and replied.
"Greetings, Big Brother Hengsheng…" He lowered his head, not daring to show his bloodshot eyes to Hengsheng, afraid that any sign of rebellion might push him further.
"Good boy," Hengsheng said, tapping Lan Xiaorong's shoulder as a reward for his discipline.
Snap
"LAN HENGSHENG!!!" Lan Xiaorong roared, his Magic Qi flowing through his spirit veins.
Lan Xiaorong was about to unleash his wrath, but Lan Yuelie came from behind and used her skill to push him to sleep.
"Ah! It seems Brother Xiaorong is exhausted from the long battle. He passed out from sheer fatigue!" she exclaimed, shamelessly spewing nonsense as she hurried to pick up his body.
"Sorry, Big Brother Hengsheng. I’ll take care of his condition!" Then, without waiting for a response, she carried him away.
Hengsheng felt a little bad. After thinking about it, he realized they were no longer kids. Pushing Xiaorong and others too much would hurt their pride as men and cultivators.
He promised himself that he would try harder to restrain himself from bullying others.
Hengsheng talked with Baixing and Xuanyan for a while. They told him about their journey and how they got here, but they didn't mention anything about the System. They simply said their power-up was due to a lucky encounter.
"Big Brother Hengsheng would you join us in the next battle?" Baixing asked.
Hengsheng shook his head and said.
"No, Jian Zixuan asked me to help with something."
