Jiu Shen who was standing by his window suddenly moved his gaze to the door. With just his keen senses, he could already tell that a few people were walking towards this place. He then used his spiritual sight to check who these people were. When he saw that it was just Theia and a bunch of young cultivators, he removed his gaze from them and continued staring at the beautiful scenery outside of the window. 

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Come in." Jiu Shen calmly said.

Creak...

Theia opened the door after getting her master's approval. She then went in front of him and bowed in subservience. "Master, I've brought them." Her tone was a tad warmer compared to how she had sounded earlier during the assessment.

The fourteen young cultivators glanced at this man with curiosity. They wanted to see what was special about him that even the whole of the Profound Dragon Continent trembles at the mere mention of his name. However, aside from his devilishly handsome face, they did not even sense an ounce of strength coming from him. 

If not for the rumors and pieces of evidence about his strength, they would have believed that he was just an ordinary handsome wine seller. 

"Greetings, Sect Master Jiu Shen!" They bowed respectfully as they greeted him. 

Jiu Shen did not even glance at them and just silently watched the outside scenery, but upon seeing this, no one dared to make a fuss. 

"Theia, you may leave. You know what to do with the other applicants." Jiu Shen's calm voice drifted inside the room. 

"Yes, master. I shall take my leave now." Theia bowed her head and left. As she went out of the room, she did not even bother to look at the fourteen young cultivators. In her eyes, they were already dead people...

After Theia left the room, an awkward silence soon followed. Just as the young cultivators were about to go crazy, Jiu Shen suddenly asked a question.

"Do you know why I called you guys here?" 

The fourteen cultivators were silent for a moment. Just then, one of them answered with uncertainty. "We failed to enter the Mirror of Truth and Deceit. The people who weren't called all managed to pass through that door. As for those of us here, we failed to do so." 

Jiu Shen turned around and glanced at the young cultivators with an indifferent expression. He then walked towards his chair and sat calmly. 

"You're smart, but I don't need rats in my sect." Jiu Shen uttered in a calm tone, but his words made these young cultivators sweat heavily. 

"Se-Sect Master Jiu, wh-what do you mean?" Someone feigned innocence, but his shaking voice confirmed Jiu Shen's words. 

The other young cultivators also became nervous. They involuntarily took a step back while preparing to flee at any moment. 

Since their identity was already exposed, they could no longer remain here. However, they could no longer move when Jiu Shen's expressionless gaze shifted towards them! 

"That's why I didn't establish a sect before. It is too troublesome." Jiu Shen shook his head as he muttered to himself. 

"Sect Master Jiu! Don't kill me! I'm innocent!" One of the cultivators shouted with a pitiful look. 

"Too noisy." Jiu Shen said as he did a snapping motion with his finger. 

Snap!

Right after that moment, the bodies of the fourteen individuals inside Jiu Shen's room suddenly exploded. 

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jiu Shen flicked his finger and produced a small wisp of black flames before sending it towards the broken pieces of human remains. 

Crackle! Crackle!

Crackling sounds echoed inside the room as the mangled human carcasses were burned in mere seconds. 

After less than ten seconds, the cracklings sounds vanished. The room went back to its previously tranquil state. 

Jiu Shen scanned the spotlessly clean room with a poker face as he muttered. "Now, my sect has a few hundred disciples to train. It's almost time to visit the Divine Beast Continent... I can finally complete that mission. It has been a while since the system has given it..." 

The room lapsed into silence after that. No one else would have known that fourteen talented young cultivators died inside this room in just a snap of a finger...

***

Theia headed back to where she left the other applicants. 

Upon arriving in that room, her presence immediately attracted everyone's attention. 

"From now on, all of you here will be disciples of our Heavenly Sword Tower." Theia announced. Her words instantly made the crowd erupt into joyous cheers.

"YESS!!" 

"Awesome!!!"

Waaahhhh!!

"Silence!" Theia shouted, immediately silencing everyone, but their eyes were still filled with excitement. 

"After you leave this room, someone will give you guys your uniform and a few other things for your cultivation. You can also choose to go back to your respective families today, but you have to be here tomorrow. Remember, you are now disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower. However, you will have to follow the rules of the sect or you will immediately be expelled!" Theia said. 

Everyone nodded their heads seriously. No one even bothered to ask what had happened to the fourteen individuals earlier. All of them were smart enough to not ask that question. 

"Dismissed!" 

Theia left the room after that announcement.

Waaahhhh!!

"I can't believe it! I've actually become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Tower!? Hahahah! 

Everyone was filled with glee and excitement as they cheered. 

Standing at the furthermost corner was the lone Sylphie. She also displayed an exhilarated look.

"With the Heavenly Sword Tower's backing, I can finally avenge my family and my kingdom! Crimson Sun Sect, just you wait!" Sylphie's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she muttered coldly in her heart.
