Half an hour later, long er had gathered everyone in the great Xia Manor.
Long Chen stood in front of the crowd and slowly walked past them.
Long Chen carefully observed every single one of them.
No one knew what Long Chen was going to do, so they could only wait in silence.
After a long while, Long Chen finally walked to the front and retracted his gaze.
"The first and eighth person in the first row, come out for a moment."
Long Chen said.
Very quickly, two people walked out from the first row, their faces full of confusion.
the seventh in the second row, the tenth in the third row, the twenty-seventh, the twenty-first in the fourth row ... Long Chen continued.
Long Chen counted people one after another.
In a short while, Long Chen had already picked seventeen people.
The talent and potential of these seventeen people were the strongest in the entire Grand Xia Manor. All of them had been selected.
But at this moment, no one knew why Long Chen had picked these people out.
Long Chen didn't explain. He just stared at the seventeen people and asked, " "Are you afraid of death?"
"I'm not afraid."
The 17 of them answered Long Chen in unison.
alright, in the next few days, I will be conducting some tests on you. Don't ask why, and don't ask what you want to do. Everything will be decided by the results.
Long Chen said.
The 17 of them nodded in unison. No one dared to have any objections.
the 17 people who have been selected, stay. The rest are dismissed.
Long Chen said.
Soon, everyone dispersed, leaving only the seventeen people behind.
They didn't know what Long Chen was up to.
Long Chen didn't explain, and only said, " what you're going to face next may be a little cruel. I hope you can all hold on. I'll say it again, don't ask for the reason.
As Long Chen's voice fell, the 17 of them held back their questions even though they wanted to ask.
At the side, long er was extremely curious.
However, long er did not ask any further.
In the next few days, Long Chen put the 17 people through cruel tests in various aspects, with the focus being their loyalty.
For the loyalty test, Long Chen had used a method that could almost confuse the real and fake enemies to capture these people and carry out extremely cruel torture.
This process lasted for a long time.
In the end, all seventeen of them passed out from the torture. They all passed the test, and no one betrayed them.
Long Chen was very satisfied with this result.
All 17 of them were trustworthy companions, which put Long Chen at ease. He ordered long 'er to get people to treat them.
Long 'er finally couldn't help but ask Long Chen about his purpose.
it's been five days. Can't you tell me your thoughts now? "
Long er looked at Long Chen.
call me hubby. If it's nice, I'll tell you.
Long Chen said with a smile.
"Hubby."
Long 'er called out in a soft voice.
Long Chen shivered, his bones almost going soft.
Then, Long Chen put his arm around long 'er's waist and said with a smile, " I'm testing their loyalty and other qualities in order to train them into super experts so that they can take charge.
"So that's what you're thinking. Will it work in the beginning?" "I think it's very difficult for them to reach the stage where they can defend a city by themselves," long er said.
given their potential, I think they can do it. I've even thought of a name for them. They'll be called the Xia Manor's 17 WarGods.
Long Chen was very confident that he could train seventeen people.
"Since you've already made your decision, I'll support you." Long er said softly.
"Yes." Long Chen said, " right now, we don't have enough manpower. If we don't do this, we won't be able to intimidate the entire cultivation world of Grand Xia. I want each of them to be able to defend a city and establish a branch of the Grand Xia Manor in their respective cities. All of them can work together at any time. This way, the Grand Xia Manor will become a huge deterrent and maintain the peace of Grand Xia.
"Yes."
&Nbsp; long er nodded. I will support whatever you do. It's just that you didn't reveal anything these past few days and I was so worried. I was afraid that you would torture those 17 people to death.
"How can that be?" I've been torturing them for the past few days, " Long Chen said with a smile. tonight, I'll torture you, okay? "
"You're annoying."
Long 'er rolled her eyes at Long Chen, but she obediently leaned into his arms.
...
The next day, Long Chen got up very early.
Early in the morning, Long Chen called the 17 of them to a quiet place in the great Xia Manor.
The 17 of them thought that a new day of torture was about to begin. They were all fully prepared, and each of them had a serious expression on their faces.
Long Chen's eyes swept across the room. congratulations, " he said sternly, " you've passed my test. I'll tell you what to do next.
As soon as Long Chen's words fell, the 17 people's spirits rose.
I will personally train you all, " Long Chen said. I'll train you all into top experts. After that, you will each go to a city and build the foundation of the great Xia Prefecture in your own city.
Wuah.
Long Chen's words immediately excited the 17 of them.
"No wonder the palace Master has been testing us these days."
"It's a good thing I made it through. Heh, now that I think about it, all the suffering seems to be worth it."
The group of people were extremely excited, their eyes shining.
Long Chen raised his hand and said, " everyone, don't be happy too soon. The cultivation that follows will be even more brutal. Some people may not be able to withstand it and die, but they must go on. If you want to become a peerless master, you must accept inhuman training.
In addition, before we begin, I hope that the seventeen of you will be clear on one thing. From today onwards, I am your master."
Long Chen had thought it through thoroughly. Although these 17 people had all passed the test of loyalty, they were still loyal.
However, Long Chen still needed to further strengthen their relationship before he could pass on the strength without worry.
Hearing this, the 17 people's joy instantly turned into ecstasy.
"Greetings, master,"
"Greetings, master,"
For a moment, everyone knelt down one after another and kowtowed hard.
None of them were lying, and they all respected Long Chen from the bottom of their hearts.
Long Chen called long 'er and Xia Ling over and hosted a simple ceremony.
An hour later, everything was over, and Long Chen officially began to train his 17 disciples in secret.
In the outside world, at Wei Ye hotel, the undying mountain's reinforcements had arrived.
The great Guardian of the undying mountain wanted to invade the great Xia Manor, but he was opposed by the two new Guardians.
great Guardian, you can't always be so reckless. This is a bustling city, not a remote forest. Do you think the people in the city are like the wild beasts in the remote mountains? "
A red-robed elder said earnestly.
When the great Guardian heard this, he was extremely unconvinced and said, " "Second Guardian, someone has come to the top of the undying mountain. Are we just going to swallow our anger? Then what are you doing here?"
"We're naturally here to help you vent your anger. We can't act rashly."
Another old man laughed.
This old man was dressed in a white robe and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked like a Sage.
"Third Guardian, don't you think your words are contradictory?" The great Guardian sneered.
"Yang taixuan, elder yang, please tell the Grand Guardian the reason," the third Guardian said with a smile.
Hearing this, yang taixuan shook his head and said, " "I wouldn't dare."
"Just say it boldly. I won't do anything to you in front of the 2nd and 3rd guardians."
The great Guardian's eyes widened.
"Speak."
The second Guardian said.
"Then I'll say it."
Yang taixuan took a step forward and said solemnly, " "The city isn't like the deep mountains and forests. Moreover, we're dealing with the great Xia Manor. No matter what, the great Xia Manor was established with the permission of the higher-ups. If the great Guardian were to openly attack the great Xia Manor, wouldn't that mean that he's going against the entire dynasty? If this goes on, I'm afraid our immortal mountain will really be buried. Please think twice, great Guardian, don't be impulsive and don't cut off your own path. "
"Bastard, this is simply a bunch of nonsense."
The great Guardian was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to hit.
"Look, look, you're getting anxious again."
Yang taixuan hurriedly stepped back.
The 2nd and 3rd guardians reach out their hands to stop the great Guardian from making a move.
Following that, the second guard said earnestly,"Great Guardian, tai Xuan's words are very reasonable. If you attack the great Xia Manor openly, it's obvious that you don't have any respect for the higher-ups. It's not a good thing to anger the higher-ups.
Aside from that, we still don't know how terrifying the great Xia Manor is. Before I came here, I heard that even the heavengod Hall was annihilated by Long Chen, and now it's gone without a trace. This is still a good lesson for us."
