Chapter 1617 - Jiang Tianyi
The customs of the great sects in the Heavenly Realm were cruel and simple. When disciples caused trouble outside, success meant glory. As long as they suffered no loss, the sect would not only refrain from punishing them but also elevate them.
Failure, however, carried a different price. After returning to the sect, everyone mocked them, and the elders did not stand up for them, for failure brought shame. They’d lost their value.
Outside the cavern, Chu Tianyang and the others’ faces were ashen, their expressions hideous.
More than ten of them joined hands, yet they still failed to break Chen Fan’s restraining art, and its backlash injured them. The Hua Alliance’s reputation had been dragged through the mud. Once the news spread, mockery would follow like a shadow.
The suppressed Nangong Xian watched as Chu Tianyang and the others failed despite joining hands. His face paled as despair and regret welled within him.
If he had known Chen Fan was such a monster, he wouldn’t have tried to show off. He had suffered humiliation for nothing and even implicated Chu Tianyang and the others. Even if he were freed, the alliance would never look at him the same way again. He had become the source of their disgrace.
Nangong Xian continued kneeling dejectedly.
More than ten Hua Alliance experts formed a formation of pale faces, surrounding Nangong Xian in an attempt to draw him away. Unfortunately, the restraining art was connected to Chen Fan. It could not be moved, hidden, or suppressed. Divine light continued to radiate outward, piercing through their formation and clearly displaying Nangong Xian’s kneeling figure to everyone present.
Disciples of numerous other forces pointed fingers and gossiped among themselves. Some even laughed out loud.
Although the Hua Alliance was an enormous entity within the inner sect, it was far from unrivaled. Many forces neither feared them nor respected their arrogance. Watching the Hua Alliance suffer such humiliation brought a sense of undisguised satisfaction.
