Apotheosis

The young man with long hair looked even more ferocious when he saw that Ingram had arrived and stopped Zen.

He screamed, "Ingram! Crush him! Kill him! Just like the way you would kill an ant!"

The youth with wild long hair was Faegan Qiu. Even though he was not a very powerful martial artist, he held an honorary position in the Qiu Clan hierarchy. That was why he had the audacity to command Ingram to kill Zen.

Witnessing the scene, Kenelm and his friends started to get jittery. If the leader of the palace took the matter seriously, Zen would definitely land himself in big trouble.

At the same time, they could not ignore the fact that Zen caused such a ruckus because he stood up for them. Kenelm cupped his hands towards Ingram and said, "Master Ingram, Zen just stood up for us. Hence, we all are willing to take up any punishment bestowed on us. Please leave Zen out of this."

Ignoring their remarks, Ingram continued to stare at Zen, as he said, "You just joined the Sword Dance Palace. But in just a short span of time, you managed to injure so many disciples! You are bold!"

Zen said calmly, "I am well versed with the rules of the Sword Dance Palace, all thanks to that friend, standing over there."

As he spoke, he pointed to the man in cyan not far away.

The man looked stunned when everyone's attention was drawn on him. He was afraid that he would be blamed, so he quickly feigned ignorance and said, "Me? I merely informed him that warriors could spar with each other, as long as they don't cause any death. That's the rule we always follow in the Sword Dance Palace."

The man didn't expect that Zen would create such a scene and put him in the spotlight!

Zen smiled at Ingram and said, "That's a fine rule! Truth be told, no one died today. Even if the disciples of the Sword Dance Palace were seriously injured, they will recover instantly with some treatment."

Most of those disciples were consummate True Gods. Zen had made conscious efforts to avoid making fatal impact on their bellies and souls. He knew they would regain their strength, no matter how seriously they were wounded, especially when they were in such a powerful place like the Sword Light Palace.

Ingram stared at Zen for a while. Suddenly his expression cleared, as a thought crept up.

Zen was sent here by Laura. She was in charge of the thirteen cultivation palaces under the Sword Light Palace. She should be well aware about the chaos of the Sword Dance Palace. Was there any motive behind her sending this man

his head, there were stars as big as a fist, shining with brilliance.

These stars were moving extremely fast, and they circled the sky once in just a few seconds. No one knew what kind of mystery was there in the sky of the Source World that it could produce such a miraculous scene.

"What the hell am I doing here?" Zen wondered out loud.

Zen had merely agreed to the woman's invitation because of a whimsical idea of No. 9527. He didn't see any point in joining this hell place. The Sword Dance Palace was rubbish and it was a complete waste of time for him to stay here.

"There isn't any special reason. Joining a human force is always safer than you roaming around aimlessly," No. 9527 replied calmly.

"Is this what you had planned for me?" Zen complained.

No. 9527 hardly regretted its decision. It inquired, "What is the problem? What can you do with your current strength? You are still insignificant in any place of Source World. Other than making yourself stronger, is there any other way?"

"At least you could have selected a decent place and not this rubbish heap! This Sword Light Palace is just nonsense!" Zen complained.

"The Ancient Scorpion race in the Source World owes my master a favor. If you go to the Ancient Scorpion race, I can help you get a good position, but would you be fine to live among those stinging scorpions?" No. 9527 asked.

Zen pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

There were all sorts of strange races in the Source World, and most of them weren't even humans.

Besides, Zen was not capable of crossing a province. Since he had joined the Sword Light Palace, the only option he had was to stay and face the challenges.
