Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

As soon as Jun Xie began to call the Seventh Peak disciples on the platform, Yuan Shuchun understood why he had come here.

Jun Xie wanted to find the disciple who had broken through the Sword Intent! 

Yuan Shuchun took a deep breath and started to think; she had to do something before it was too late.

On the Platform, Jun Xie nodded at the eight disciples standing in front of him, and after a moment of thought, he asked, "Do you know why I have called you on the stage?"

"The reason why I have called you here is because of all the disciples in this hall, only your spirit sense reacted against my illusion, be it knowingly or unknowingly."

His words surprised the disciples, especially Zheng Xiang and Hu Xing, who couldn\'t even tell if that was an illusion or not during Xiao Ming\'s battle.

However, Ye Tian Yun was trying his best to resist his urge to roll back his eyes, \'At least put some effort in lying.\'

\'This guy is definitely after something. No one could see through the illusion, let alone the disciples of the Seventh Peak who are considered the button of the barrel in the Sect.\'

Near the throne, Yuan Shuchun also had the same thoughts; however, she had no reason to only think about it. So with a disdaining tone, she asked, "Are you trying to say that only the disciples of the Seventh Peak were able to resist your illusion and that too, only the disciple who are newly promoted to the Inner Court?"

Jun Xie opened his mouth to reply, but then he closed it back.

After a moment of thought, he opened it again, "Uh… well, looks like Seventh Peak disciples are really talented ones this time around."

Before Yuan Shuchun could taunt him anymore, he looked at the disciples in front of him and said, "Since you guys were able to resist and now that I have seen your talent, I am really interested in choosing you guys for the next Seat Candidate."

"But you all know that each member of the Nine Supremes can choose only one Seat Candidate."

" So, let\'s do this since you were able to resist the illusion, this time, I will test your battle prowess, and the one who can defend my sword strike might become the next Seat Candidate."

"So, be careful, alright? Now, Who will come first?"

When Ye Tian Yun heard the last part, he suddenly frowned, and then a smile appeared on his face. \'This guy is just like the reports.\'

Seeing a confused expression on half of the disciples, Jun Xie took out a sword from his spatial ring and pointed the sword at Hu Xing, standing at the opposite end of the line, was obviously avoiding Ye Tian Yun like a plague.

Hu Xing was first startled seeing the sword pointing at him and then calming himself down. He reflexively nodded and moved forward.

The other disciples backed up and stood at the Platform\'s border, while Jun Xie and Hu Xing now stood opposite each other at the center of the Platform.

Hu Xing prepared his sword, ready to receive the attack.

Jun Xie was much calmer and said with a light tone, "The rules will be simple, I will attack you first, you will defend, and then, I will give you a chance to attack me."

Hu Xing nodded and tightened his grip around his sword.

Jun Xie smiled at his nervousness and moved for an attack.

Before Hu Xing could even understand what had happened, Jun Xie\'s sword had already arrived closed to his neck.

Hu Xing, in that mere instant, felt fear. Fear of death.

Jun Xie was a Core disciple and definitely wouldn\'t kill any of his fellow disciples, but at this time, Hu Xing\'s brain couldn\'t think of such thoughts as dreadful fear gripped his heart.

There\'s a saying that fear makes us resilient and brings out our real strength.

This is what happened to Hu Xing as his own hand moved even faster than Jun Xie, and before Jun Xie\'s sword could reach his neck, Hu Xing had already blocked it.

However, the impact was too much for his body to handle. After a second or two, Hu Xing couldn\'t withstand the incoming force and flew sideways.

Jun Xie landed back on the platform, unaffected.

However, he shook his head and said, "You weren\'t as good as I had expected. If not for your luck and instinct, you would have had your head removed from your body."

Hu Xing recovered himself and, without saying anything, went in for his attack.

However, he was easily blocked and kicked back on the ground.

Jun Xie shook his head, \'This is not the guy I am looking for.\'

He then suddenly remembered the disciple who was earlier wasting his time.

He looked around and soon found him.

"Feng-Chan, you\'re next. Enter the stage." Jun Xie then commanded him aloud.

\'What the fuck did this guy just call me?\' Ye Tian Yun had his right eyebrow slightly raised when he heard Jun Xie. \'He\'s lucky this is not my real name, hmph!\'

"It\'s Fang Chen."

"Whatever, just come on the stage."

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and went forward, not forgetting to tease Hu Xing when they crossed each other. "Sigh, my butler is quite useless."

Hu Xing could only roll his eyes when he heard those eyes. He was too depressed to get annoyed by the comment right now.

…

Ye Tian Yun was soon standing in front of Jun Xie, with his hands behind his back. 

This surprised Jun Xie. "Are you this confident that you will be able to defend yourself?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Of course not; who said I am defending myself bare-handed. Just come with your attack whenever you\'re ready."

\'This guy will definitely find out about the Sword Intent; I will need to find a way to stop him from revealing.\'
