Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

YANG LUJIA SHOOK his head. He first wanted to change the staff’s appearance. Exerting some of his strength on the staff’s body, its bottom part was slowly turned into an interweaved dead vines.

Gradually, when the crawling vines reached the wings, it was also replaced with the vines, as the previous wings withered. However, this time, the wing-like part of the staff was a lot higher than the crystal in height.

Excitedly, he wanted to try to curse somebody but found no one to curse. Actually, there were three he wanted to curse to death, but… he didn’t know their names. However, he did know the Soul Demon from the Northern Territory.

He knew that that guy wasn’t dead yet. Even if it was only the soul left, he couldn’t be so weak, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t be called Soul Demon if his soul was weak.

Later…

“What the fuck is going on? What’s wrong with you? What happened?!” Runic Demon was a bit flustered. “Soul Demon! What’s happening?! Talk! So we can help you!”

Speed Demon was also a bit worried. “It feels like…”

When Runic Demon finally calmed down, he realized the problem. He didn’t want to panic. Otherwise, Soul Demon might really perish. Soul Demon’s screaming was due to the curse inflicted on him. “Yes, it feels like a curse.

“Fuck! It’s getting stronger!”

Soul Demon’s soul was twitching midair. On the other hand, Runic Demon was doing hand seals to suppress the curse on Soul Demon. However, no matter how he did so, the curse wouldn’t budge._.

“How is that possible?” He then thought of something and gazed in the direction of the Death City Palace. “It seems like the City Palace Lord knew about curses. However, curses would take someone’s lifespan or the lives of others. How did he do it? Was this really only a move to intimidate them?”

A shrilling cry soon rang throughout the city. Soul Demon’s soul finally vanished while the other three demon generals could not do anything.

“So strong,” is the thing they could only think of.

The one who cursed Soul Demon was just too strong to do this.

Unbelievable.

“Who the hell has such a strong cursing ability?” Fierce Demon talked.

Runic Demon’s eyes flashed. “Who else could it be other than the City Palace Lord himself?”

On the other hand, Yang Lujia who heard the cry was dumbfounded. “I only wrote his name twice and he’s already suffering?” When he saw that the name couldn’t be written on the parchment paper no matter how he verbalize it, he knew that the target was already dead. “Too strong? I remembered Death Note all of a sudden.”

He then sighed and decided to sleep. After a long day, he also needed a long sleep.

If others could hear his thoughts, especially Wang Lao and the others, they would probably curse him. He had been sleeping while they were traveling and he acted like he wasn’t able to sleep at all!

When morning finally dawned, several people were surrounding the whole building where the participants and some distinguished guests from the Eastern Territory were temporarily residing.

Outside, bodies of people who were trying to assassinate Yang Lujia’s group failed to do so. Instead, they were killed by the array formation operated by Yang Lujia himself. Some barely escaped at the first layer and hurriedly went back to their quarters. After all, these people never told anyone about their plot against Yang Lujia and his treasures. Otherwise, it would become necessary for them to share their gains with others.

In this world where the rule of the jungle applies, selfishness and avarice would reign.

Some of the city guards fetched these bodies and buried them somewhere outside Death City. Due to the embarrassment of the other territories to admit that some of these people were from their side, they did not say anything. Besides, this group of people who made a move against Yang Lujia was all lecherous in nature. They wouldn’t mind eradicating them using the hands of others.

It was just they wondered how this event happened.

The Eastern Territory was clearly weak. However, it felt like someone protected them when these dead experts attacked them. Or perhaps a silent battle occurred in the deep of the night that they didn’t notice and just happened to have transpired around this specific building.

Although the probability for the second premise wasn’t high, it was the most probable reason for such an event.

The Death City Palace, on the other hand, remained nonchalant over the matter. After all, it was already a common thing to happen in Death City. Many people would die for treasures that they wanted for themselves.

“Proceed with the Annual Death Ceremony. Are the preparations all ready?” Xia Jieke said, his eyes scanning the guards in front of him. “You may now go. Ready the materials and tools necessary. Go to your assigned posts and tasks now. I don’t want something bad to happen. Otherwise, you will all have to bear the brunt of my wrath.”

As usual, he was still the same overbearing Xia Jieke. When Xia Jiali heard this while standing beside his big brother, he almost peed his pants. Luckily, he was born in the same family as Xia Jieke. Otherwise, he’d really be nervous if he were the one given the orders by his big brother.

“Big brother, let’s go to the arena now. Father said that you will host this year’s Annual Death Ceremony,” Xia Hua said as he looked at Xia Jieke expectantly.

“I know,” Xia Jieke said. “How is your training? Are you ready enough? Enter the top ten and I will give you a gift for it.” He smiled at his little sister.

Although he was harsh with his little brother’s training or even with his little sister’s, he still doted him like no other. In the past, his father always told him to act as the man of the family if he wasn’t by their side.

“I’m doing great, big brother!” Xia Hua respected his brother so much. Other than his father, no one could make her feel submissive in terms of strength. She admired him so much that she made him his goal to surpass. Earlier, they did a spar, but she was still defeated with one stroke of his brother’s hand.

As expected, his brother had become even stronger.

That was also good, she thought. After all, their father was getting old. He needed to rest, even more so since he was injured at the moment. They needed a pillar to lean on.

And that was her big brother, the eldest of the Xia Family. The most talented one in the history of Da Sishen.

His brother reached the God Emperor Realm when he was not yet 20 and reached the peak of the realm after a total of 50 years. This was the highest record ever in the realm’s history. With this, she truly believed in his brother.

“Let’s go,” Xia Jieke said as she nodded approvingly at her sister. Holding his little brother’s arms, he dragged him along with his sister catching up to them.

Xia Jiali, who was despairing of being born into the same family by two strong siblings: “…”

He could only silently lament.

Arriving at the highest platform in the arena, the whole place quieted down as Xia Jieke’s feet banged against the platform’s floor. It even showed a slight crack. Xia Jieke noticed this but chose to ignore it. However, Xia Jiali was almost frightened to death when he saw this.

The entire arena was suffused over by a countless number of people. There were also others who came from other territories who wished to support their participants; this explained the crowded arena. Only the circular-shaped area of the arena at its center remained empty.

Indifferently looking at the people below him, Xia Jieke didn’t change his usual cold expression. When the women saw his otherworldly appearance, they were all aroused.

Yang Lujia was speechless when he saw such a scene. Nevertheless, he didn’t quite mind this. The idea of rape, sexual abuse, or harassment… in this world, seemed to be perfectly normal. As long as you had the strength to do so, no one would oppose you.

It was crooked. He didn’t like it, but he wasn’t a saint either to save every person, whether it’s a man or a woman. He came here to serve himself and some other important people in his life here, not to serve some strangers he barely knew.

“I know that everyone is already thrilled by today’s event,” Xia Jieke began. “My father will arrive sooner. He still had some things to prepare, hence, the delay in his arrival. However, I was tasked by my father to preside over the event. So, as the presider, I hope everyone would cooperate—”

“No, we won’t cooperate! We want the City Palace Lord himself to lead the event!”

“Yes! You’re still young! You don’t have the right—”

Xia Jieke coldly looked at the shouting people from the Northern Territory’s side. “Shut up or die. You all choose.”

After he said this, a boundless aura spread throughout the entire city.

No… it wouldn’t be wrong to say a fourth of the entire Da Sishen was covered by his overbearing aura.

Runic Demon’s eyes constricted. “This aura…”

Another Saint?!
