Reasoning

"Ancient Sword Formation, Sky-Splitting Slash!"

The disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, standing in a specific formation, roared in unison, and countless sharp sword energies surged out from their bodies, condensing and compressing in mid-air into a phantom sword tens of feet long.

"Drink! Slay!"

Empowered by the array's power, Liu Ku's face flushed red. He gripped his longsword tightly and swung it fiercely. The sword shadow, dozens of feet long, immediately slashed down with an extremely sharp sword aura.

"You all step back immediately!"

The three Azurewood Sect Qi Creation Stage experts from the Azure Wood Sect exchanged a solemn glance and immediately joined forces to unleash their most powerful attack. Their azure Origin Energy surged and roared, transforming into an enormous azure Origin Energy giant tree.

"Splash splash splash!"

As soon as the giant azure Origin Energy tree took shape, countless vines spread out and wrapped around the illusory greatsword. However, the astonishing sword shadow only hesitated for a few seconds before instantly slicing through the giant Origin Energy tree like a hot knife through butter.

"Puff!"

The three powerful figures of the Azurewood Sect suddenly swayed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, their auras extremely weak.

"Your sect's Ancient Sword Great Formation is indeed extraordinary. This round, my Azurewood Sect has lost."

The leader, a man in blue, readily conceded defeat and then led his group of men away in a sorry state.

"Hehe, these eight seats should be occupied by my Great Desolation Prefecture Ancient Sword Sect."

Excited, Liu Ku, his face flushed, bowed to the surrounding crowd from afar before transforming into a blur and rushing toward the stone platform.

Everyone remained silent. The Ancient Sword Sect had demonstrated its strength and deserved to be the Eighth Seat.

Liu Ku also landed in the Eighth Seat, two positions behind Lin Dong, his old face beaming with a fawning smile as he nodded obsequiously at Lin Dong.

"..."

Feeling utterly bewildered, Lin Dong glanced at him indifferently without responding.

Liu Ku, Qi Creation Stage Great Achievement expert, was quite pleased with himself and sat down with a smile.

"These nine seats shall belong to the Lion Fist Gate of Great Desolation Prefecture."

Before long, three burly middle-aged men leaped out, releasing their auras as Qi Creation Stage experts in an attempt to intimidate the others.

Soon, two powerful figures from the Blissful Valley, a first-rate force from another county of the Great Yan Dynasty, stepped forward to meet the challenge.

In the end, Lion Fist Gate won and secured the Ninth Seat.

Only one seat remains among the top ten!

The powerful figures in the crowd who had not yet secured a seat were breathing increasingly heavily.

If ranked by raw strength, the Tenth Seat should have been taken by the Yin Puppet Sect, one of the three major local forces in the Great Desolation Prefecture. However, all of the Yin Puppet Sect's forces were killed by Lin Dong in a single blow outside the Great Desolation Ancient Tablet, who had transformed into Ancient Dragon Ape.

That's why these people have the opportunity to pick up bargains.

However, many strong forces have already made their appearances in the competition for the top nine spots, leaving only weaklings of similar strength. If they were to fight, the battle would be extremely intense, a situation commonly referred to as "weaklings pecking at each other."

So everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one stepped forward.

"Since no one can choose the Tenth Seat person, I will choose it myself."

Just as the situation was about to reach a stalemate, the handsome man who had been sitting upright in the Chief Seat with his eyes closed in a state of rest suddenly opened his eyes.

"He'll make the choice?"

"What... exactly does Lin Dong mean by this?"

Everyone's hearts sank suddenly, and they subconsciously exchanged glances.

"Lin Ke'er, come forward and sit next to me."

The handsome man ignored the commotion and smiled as he looked at the Lin Clan's camp.

"I?"

The beautiful woman in white, with her delicate and charming appearance, was slightly taken aback. She subconsciously pointed to herself with her slender finger, looking adorably charming.

"Ke'er, go quickly, Lin Dong wants to protect you so you can sit in the Tenth Seat."

An elder of the Lin Clan, who reacted very quickly, looked overjoyed and immediately urged Lin Ke'er to hurry up.

The White-Haired Old Man, whose strength was at the Great Achievement of the Qi Creation Stage and who was a member of the Lin Clan's Council of Elders, looked at Lin Dong with increasing satisfaction.

Despite Lin Langtian's apparent strength in securing the second seat, while his personal abilities certainly played a part, most people were more intimidated by the behemoth that was the Lin Clan behind him.

However, compared to Lin Dong, they are completely insignificant.

As the son of a branch family of the Lin Clan, Lin Dong could not rely on the Lin Clan's prestige at all. He directly relied on his own superior strength to suppress the entire audience and sit comfortably in the Chief Seat, with no one daring to raise any objections.

Now, while protecting himself, he also wants to benefit his clansmen by allowing another outstanding young member of the Lin Clan to take a seat.

Can Lin Langtian compare?

Compared to Lin Dong, Lin Langtian is nothing but a pile of shit!

Clearly, Lin Langtian had also thought of this.

The Green Shirt Youth sat cross-legged on the futon, his face terribly gloomy.

Consequently, his gaze towards Lin Ke'er was tinged with resentment.

If it weren't for Lin Ke'er, Lin Langtian wouldn't have made such a fool of himself!

"Yes, Elder Lin He."

Upon hearing this, the white-clad beauty's icy blue eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately leaped towards the stone platform.

"What? They're letting a woman at the Creation Form Stage Great Achievement go on stage? How can someone with such limited strength convince the audience?"

"It's one thing for Lin Dong to take a seat himself, but why does he directly designate the Tenth Seat candidate, leaving us not even the last bit of chance?"

"Of the ten seats, the Lin Clan is going to occupy three. Even the Great Yan Royal Family is not as domineering as them."

The crowd, suddenly realizing what was happening, immediately became extremely agitated.

Fearing Lin Dong's overwhelming strength, everyone only dared to discuss it in private, and no one dared to come forward and express their opinion directly.

Seeing that Lin Ke'er had already landed on the stone platform, only a few feet away from the last seat, some people immediately became anxious.

"Wait!"

A loud shout from the crowd made Lin Ke'er freeze in her tracks.

The speaker was a burly middle-aged man, Qi Creation Stage Minor Accomplishment expert the Lesser Completion stage. He decided to take a gamble, because if he didn't, he would have no chance at all.

"Wait a minute, Lin Dong, your actions are far too domineering. If you were to take one seat for yourself, we would have no objection based on your own strength. But if you were to let another member of the Lin Clan take a seat, we would absolutely not allow it."

The middle-aged man cleverly pulled everyone together, making them share the pressure of facing Lin Dong.

Seeing the hints of doubt on everyone's faces, the middle-aged man became even more excited, spitting as he shouted, "There's no such logic in the world! Don't you all agree...?" "Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and a large section of the Green Stone floor suddenly shattered. A black figure suddenly appeared where the middle-aged man had been standing, stepping on a bloody and mangled body, burying its head deep into the ground.

"That's?!?!"

Everyone felt a jolt in their hearts and instinctively looked closely, only to discover that the one who had suppressed the Qi Creation Stage Minor Accomplishment expert with bare hands was actually a black Talisman Puppet with an obscure aura.

Advanced Talisman Puppet comparable to Creation Stage expert!

"Reason? I, Lin Dong, am the ultimate reason here. Now, who wants to argue with me about reason?"

The handsome man at the Chief Seat sat with his hands at his sides, his expression An Ran and gentle.

At that moment, the entire audience fell silent!
