<h4>Chapter 873 - Don’t Look</h4>


    "W-What happened? Why are they just standing there?" Sect Master Xiahou mumbled in a dumbfounded voice as she stared at the Sect Masters with her eyes as wide as saucers. Because Yuan had his back facing her direction, she was unable to see his glowing eyes and understand the situation.


    Sect Master Xiahou decided to take a closer look with her divine sense, but Elder Nie suddenly eximed, "Don''t look!"


    "Huh?" Sect Master Xiahou subconsciously retrieved her divine sense from surprise and turned to look at him, only to see a terrified expression on his face.


    "Senior Nie? What''s wrong?" She asked him in a nervous voice.


    "Whatever you do, don''t look at his eyes right now. You''ll regret it like I am now." He said with sweat dripping down his forehead.


    Even though Yuan''s Dragon''s Gaze wasn''t directed towards him, it was still emitting an aura strong enough to shake Senior Nie''s soul when he nced at it with his divine sense.


    ''What a terrifying technique! It must be at least divine rank!''''


    Meanwhile, Yuan merely stood there with a calm expression as he watched the Sect Masters stand there with nk looks on their faces, looking like they were in a trance.


    If he wanted to defeat the Sect Masters, right now would be the best time. However, he didn''t attack them and actually waited for them to break out of his technique by themselves, which is definitely a crueler punishment.


    When Senior Nie realized what Yuan was doing, he immediately said, "Y-Yuan! Please have mercy! Their souls will crumble at this rate! That is a fate worse than death!"


    Yuan smiled and said, "Don''t worry, they won''t receive any permanent damages. I am holding back, after all."


    ''He''s holding back?! Even though it''s already this powerful?!'' Senior Nie cried inwardly.


    After standing around for a couple more minutes, Yuan finally decided to act.


    However, the Sect Masters remained dazed even after Yuan deactivated his Dragon''s Gaze.


    "It''s time to wake up!" Yuan slightly twisted his body before swinging his fist at Sect Master Li''s face, hitting him square in the cheeks.


    A cracking noise resounded as Sect Master Li''s jaw cracked from the impact. He then flew into the air with his body spinning in an impressive manner.


    After sending Sect Master Li flying, Yuan immediately moved to his next victim, sending Bai Enjue flying with a fist to the face as well.


    He then sent the Sect Master of the Golden Array Academy, the Sect Master of the Steel Lion Academy, and the Sect Master of the Lonely River Academy flying with a kick in their stomach, breaking some of their ribs in the process.


    It was just Sun Hao, Sect Master of the Universal Music Academy left, and Yuan had something special for him.


    After pping Sun Hao in the face to wake him up from his daze, Yuan would batter him with over a dozen strikes, ruthlessly hitting him in the face and body until his entire face was deformed with bruises.


    Once all of the Sect Masters were lying on the ground and groaning in pain, Yuan took a deep breath, and said, "I am going to end your punishment here and spare your lives, but if you try to harm me or my friends again, I will not hesitate toe back and im your lives."


    He turned to look at Senior Nie and continued, "Do you have anything to say?"


    A bittersweet smile appeared on Senior Nie''s face as he spoke, "Just one thing. Thank you for sparing their lives."


    Yuan nodded, "I should also apologize for escting the situation even though I came here with the intention to stop it, especially since there are millions of people watching this…"


    "Oh, you don''t have to worry about the spectators. We stopped broadcasting this ce after your fight with Sect Master Sun, so everything that happened afterward is only between us." Senior Nie said.


    "What?!" Sect Master Xiahou turned to look at Senior Nie with a shocked face.


    "Why didn''t you say so earlier?! I don''t know about Sect Master Sun, but the others wouldn''t have fought if they knew about that! They fought because they thought that their reputation was at stake!"


    "Ehh… Well… We can talk about that after you heal them…" Senior Nie said in an awkward voice.


    "Oh right!"


    Sect Master Xiahou then fed the other Sect Masters recovery pills and other expensive medicine, healing all of their injuries within moments except the damage done to their pride and mind.


    "S-Senior Nie… Are you serious? About the broadcast…" Sect Master Li asked him afterward.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Yes, it''s true. The only people that could see the broadcast are people with direct ess to them like me. However, Sect Master Sun''s fight with Yuan is public knowledge."


    Everybody turned to look at Sun Hao, who had a very bitter look on his face, but there was nothing they could do about it.


    "Hey, can we leave now?" Yuan suddenly approached them and asked.


    The Sect Masters subconsciously took a step back when Yuan got too close.


    "You want to leave after beating us? Are you serious?" Bai Enjue frowned.


    "What? Do you want me to take responsibility or something? Except for him, you''re all unharmed." Yuan said while pointing to Sun Hao.


    "Just so you know, hundreds of thousands of disciples from the Seven Spirit Academies are currently waiting for you outside. If we don''t stop them, they will all attack you." Sect Master Li said.


    "Is that so…" Yuan began pondering for a moment before showing a cold smile, "Or I can just kill them all."


    "You bastard…" The Sect Masters red at Yuan with killing intent.


    Yuan chuckled, "I''m just joking, but if you leave me no choice… That joke might be a reality."


    "Also, if you''re worried that I might cause trouble for you in the future, then you don''t have to worry, as I will be ascending to the next realm very soon."


    "What? You''re ascending again so soon?" Senior Nie looked at him with wide eyes.
