In two hours, all the disciples got their entitled pellets. And there were even two to three hundred of pellets left in the containers.
Of course, not all the disciples showed up today, as some crucial locations called for security forces, and some disciples were still in the process of cultivation.
Having got the pellets, all the disciples returned to their original places. Though they were terribly tempted to take the pellets right away, they dared not to take action before the primary chief senior told them to.
On the dais, the primary chief senior went on, "There had been 2,421 disciples of you in total that had got the pellets. And we already remembered every face of you. We wish that you could be fighting with us against the Suomo Sect if they invade our sect one day."
"The Taixuan Sect will prevail!" one disciple yelled. And the rest got all emotionally wrought up and repeated it all across the board.
The three chief seniors and the eight mountain seniors beamed radiantly, but some smiled unwillingly.
"Fantastic! As an undue delay may give rise to troubles, let's take the pellets and start with your cultivation right here, and we are on guard for you," the primary chief senior said.
Hardly had he finished his announcement when many disciples took their pellets in a haste.
A few disciples feinted a move to take the pellets, but the pellets still remained in their hands.
As the mountain owner had complete control over their life and death, they dared not to take the pellets though they were dying to.
Right then, the primary chief senior started to talk again, "Well, something just rang a bell. Once your cultivation for the pellets conclude, come back for the second type of pellets. These pellets, the Last Breath Pellets, are even more powerful. And there will be surprising effects expected when you take the Most Refined Royal Pellets before the Last Breath Pellets."
On hearing that, those who were wavering between their mountain owners' warnings and the desire to take the pellets eventually made up their mind. They swallowed the Most Refined Royal Pellets forthwith.
At that moment, they only had one idea in mind — they could by no means let their mountain owners assume their pellets. If the worst comes to the worst, they would lay charges against their mountain owners to the chief seniors.
As long as their mountain owners' schemes were disclosed, the disciples will be in the protection of the chief seniors. And the mountain owners may be faced with dismissals.
Having been following up with their disciples' reactions, Yi Tianzhong and the other two mountain owners got struck dumb by the disciples' revelations of their true feelings. They could tell their changes of minds right away.
Then the three mountain owners got flustered.
Once their disciples told on them, loads of problems would arise.
Nevertheless, they soon came to themselves as they already came up with excuses.
At the great square, all disciples were in the process of cultivation to bring out the effects of the pellets. It was pretty silent there.
In a short while, some guardians of the sect and key disciples were already done with their cultivation. They beat others to it by virtue of their top-rate cultivation levels among all the disciples.
Standing up, they all appeared excited. However, they managed to contain their excitement for the sake of other disciples who were still in the process of cultivation.
As time passed by, there had been an increasing number of disciples rounding off their cultivation. Some even almost burst out laughing in ecstasy the moment they opened their eyes. It was just as well the chief seniors stopped them from doing so right away. Then the disciples had no option but to hold back their uncontrollable laughter so hard that they crimsoned as if they had been suffering from constipation.
At last, after an hour, the last disciple finished his cultivation.
Then the whole square became a carnival.
Waves of laughter and scream went off one after another, permeating the square. Disciples across the board were busy telling each other about their martial progress, no matter they were acquaintances or not. Even those who had been attempting to kill each other in duels were talking and joking.
On the dais, the three chief seniors didn't try to stop them from sharing their thrilling news. Instead, they also joined the carnival, letting out sonorous laughter.
The surprising spectacle turned the great square into an insane place.
