At those words, Xiling Tianchen and Kong Shengji both breathed a sigh of relief.
Whatever else happened, they had kept their eighth-grade foundations.
"However!" He Pingsheng changed his tone and looked at Kong Shengji. "Though this fellow Kong Shengji is also a peerless prodigy, his disposition is truly too poor. Remember to rein in your nature from now on. Otherwise, if you stir up trouble someday, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Kong Shengji shrank back. "Yes, this lowly one understands!"
He had grown up in the Northern Rampart Kong Household. As he belonged to a collateral branch, his parents lacked the ability to protect him, and he was weak by nature, he had suffered every kind of humiliation within the lineage.
Later, once he gained power, he went utterly mad!
But that arrogance and haughtiness were not in his bones. They were merely the frenzy of someone who had suddenly gained power.
Now that he was beneath others again, he had reverted to his timid nature and was nothing to fear.
"Go. Keep yourselves in line and cultivate diligently!" He Pingsheng took out several rings. "These are the resources of that Great All-Encompassing Golden Immortal from the Kong Household whom I killed!"
"I'm handing them over to you now. Distribute them properly!"
He gave these resources to Kong Jiaojiao!
A small group had already formed around He Pingsheng. Though there were not many of them, it had already begun to take the shape of a sect.
Since it was a sect, it needed an internal affairs elder to manage its wealth and resources, so he entrusted this task to Kong Jiaojiao!
"All right!" Kong Jiaojiao nodded and accepted the resources. "If any of you need anything from now on, tell me directly. No one is to leave the mountain!"
