For a time, the atmosphere fell silent.
None of the other four curious disciples dared to speak again.
They had been intimidated by Yue You's methods, afraid of becoming the next unlucky fool to have their tongue ripped out.
Shen Lan coughed. "Not telling you is for your own good. This is an important plan of Ice Lotus Peak. Knowing too much will do you no good."
"I remember a previous contest against Flying Gate, ranked eleventh on the power rankings. Because a disciple leaked critical information, their entire side was wiped out."
The other four disciples felt a chill run down their backs.
Leaking an important sect secret did not merely mean death for oneself.
Ice Lotus Peak had earned its thirteenth-place ranking on the power rankings. It was no soft persimmon.
Perhaps the faction behind that disciple who had leaked the critical information had also needed to pay an enormous price to quell Ice Lotus Peak's fury.
Thinking of that, the four disciples dared not utter another word.
Seeing this, Shen Lan added, "Also, when facing the strong, maintain sufficient respect. Though everyone here is an Earth Grade disciple and our Life Levels are not far apart, have you considered why, at the same Life Level, we rank at the forefront of the Earth Grade while you can only rank behind us?"
The answer was obvious: personal talent.
The disciples all understood what Shen Lan meant.
"I hope this questioning is both the first and the last time. Otherwise, next time, the punishment will not be so simple." Shen Lan's tone already carried a trace of warning.
The other four disciples were even more terrified.
Ripping out a disciple's tongue by the roots was considered only a simple punishment?
Then how brutal would a cruel punishment be?
