The eldest sister was reborn and broke up, and the disciples were all panicked

Chapter 361 Crisis at Every Step
Li Shuang suddenly stood up, her voice respectful: "Senior Brother Lin, I've heard of your illustrious reputation while I was away, and I've long held you in high esteem. Now that we've finally met, I'm overwhelmed with emotion..."

Lin An frowned.

Is this new disciple really that talkative?
If it weren't for Li Shuang's considerable potential, he probably would have already reprimanded her.

"So, can you shake my hand?" Li Shuang looked a little embarrassed. "Senior Brother has been my idol for many years. If I could shake hands with Senior Brother just once, I would have no regrets in this life."

Everyone looked at Li Shuang with strange eyes.

What is this person doing?
Flattery? Will that even work?

Seeing Li Shuang's expression, Lin An's brows relaxed, and he calmly said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Shuang walked over.

Everyone: "???"

It’s really useful!
Li Shuang walked up to Lin An and extended her hand.

Lin An also reached out his hand.

however.

The moment their hands clasped, Li Shuang's hand passed right through Lin An's.

Lin An himself seemed oblivious to anything amiss and continued to make the handshake gesture.

Li Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and her doubts were confirmed at that moment.

She naturally released his hand: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Li Shuang returned to the ranks of the disciples.

Cangyin couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "He... has no physical form?"

What is something without a physical form?
A ghost?
Did none of these disciples of the Langya Sect enter the cycle of reincarnation, but instead transform into ghosts floating in the Langya Palace?

Li Shuang shook her head.

Cangyin was about to ask more when Lin An glared at her, so she had no choice but to give up for the time being.

Lin An said slowly, "My Langya Sect has strict rules. Considering you are only new disciples, there are only six rules for the first three days. Only by abiding by the rules can one be considered a disciple of my Langya Sect. If you violate the rules..."

Lin An's lips curled into a sinister smile.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and listened intently.

"Firstly, at all times, maintain a normal tone of voice and refrain from loud noise! ​​Anyone who makes a noise will be executed!"

"Secondly, disciples must never leave their quarters at night; those who do will die."

Thirdly, the Langya Sect maintains a strict hierarchy; disrespect towards elders is strictly forbidden, and those who are disrespectful will be executed!

Lin An glanced at everyone and said, "Based on your progress over the years, I have made a preliminary assessment of your potential. In my eyes, you have already been ranked. Therefore, please be mindful of your words and actions. Furthermore, your ranking will change based on your every move, so please strive to improve your ranking and become a Venerable."

Everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.

They currently only know whether they are ordinary disciples or elite disciples.

but.

Lin An said that his assessment of their potential was based on their progress over the years!
Based on this data, he had already determined the order of rank in his mind.

The key is……

Lin An arranged the hierarchy himself, but he didn't tell them!
What should they do now?
How can we distinguish who is superior and who is inferior?

Lin An had no intention of explaining things to the group. He continued, "Fourthly, monsters frequently escape from the Monster Beast Pavilion at night. Capturing a monster and returning it to the Monster Beast Pavilion will earn you points and improve your ranking."

This is yet another rule that sends chills down everyone's spine.

The second rule, as Lin An just mentioned, is that anyone who leaves the disciples' quarters at night will die.

Now, however, it's hinting that everyone should go out at night to capture monsters.

Aren't these two rules contradictory?
"Fifth. Every day a disciple stays in Langya Palace, one point will be consumed. Points are earned by completing tasks. Those who run out of points will be expelled from Langya Palace."

"Sixth. New disciples must not attack each other; those who kill one another shall die."

Lin An said calmly, "For now, these are the six rules."

Done.

He shut his mouth, giving these people time to process what he had said.

These two rules, in fact, brought a sense of relief to everyone.

The first few rules, with Lin An constantly mentioning death, sounded quite frightening. But this fifth rule offered a safe way to leave: exhaust all points. The sixth rule prohibited infighting, meaning that for at least the next few days, they wouldn't have to worry about their companions suddenly attacking them.

Both of these are good news.

Someone's eyes lit up as they recalled Li Shuang's earlier praise of Lin An.

This senior disciple seems to really enjoy being praised.

If he also says some flattering things, perhaps we can get more information out of him.

Thinking this, the disciple couldn't help but reveal a fawning smile: "Senior Brother Lin An, I've admired you for a long time. I grew up listening to your legends... I..."

The disciple is praising him.

Lin An suddenly flew into a rage!
Nonsense! A useless disciple with such limited potential doesn't even deserve to admire me!

He waved his hand, and the disciple was immediately thrown far away, with the faint sound of bones cracking echoing in the air.

"Ah!" The disciple screamed involuntarily.

Lin An sneered, and his sword flashed! The disciple was instantly reduced to ashes!

Everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.

Li Shuang's heart skipped a beat.

Lin An was truly ruthless!

Just because that disciple said a few words to him, he beat the person severely and then used the first rule of no noise to kill him!

Everyone was filled with fear.

They don't understand.

Why was it that when Li Shuang spoke to him before, nothing happened, but that disciple's fate was so tragic?

What exactly is the difference between him and Li Shuang?
Could it be.

Is it because Li Shuang is an elite disciple, while he is just an ordinary disciple?
Could it be.

There is a hidden rule: only elite disciples can speak to Lin An.
Lin An, however, acted as if nothing had happened, calmly saying, "I'll take you to the disciples' quarters first. Remember, you must be back in the disciples' quarters before sunset! Otherwise, you will die!"

Lin An said this and turned to leave.

Everyone held their breath and followed him obediently.

The Langya Palace is very large.

Everyone was doing the same thing the whole way.

Remember the locations of all the buildings!

Since the Monster Pavilion has appeared in the rules, other buildings may appear later. They should remember their locations, as they will definitely need them in the future.

Li Shuang also silently noted down the buildings she saw along the way.

Aside from some unimportant buildings, she only cared about three things the most.

Alchemy room.

Weapon refiner.

Sutra Pavilion.

These three places are of paramount importance to any sect, and they should be the focus of their future exploration.

Seemingly oblivious to everyone's subtle movements, Lin An continued walking without turning his head.

soon.

He led everyone to a row of houses: "One room per person, choose whichever you like. You have one incense stick's time to choose a room. After that, come out and see me."

talking.

He closed his eyes to rest. Beside him, an incense stick slowly began to burn.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the rows of houses.

These houses seem to know how many people live here.

The number of houses matched their population perfectly.

It's exactly sixty-nine!
