Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

Earth Root Sect Leader had captured his second disciple when he was lost in the grief of his first disciple.

Thunder Peak Sect Leader now knew that saving his disciple was a lost cause no matter how much he wished to.

He knew that the Earth Root Sect Leader would crush this disciple of his in the next second.

Even if he tried to attack the hand, the attack would simply be blocked by the Eternal Blossom Sect Leader, allowing the Earth root sect leader to kill his disciple successfully.

He also had no attack that could safely crush that stone hand, saving his disciple by passing the barrier.

If he used a strong attack, that would simply destroy everything - hand, barrier and disciple too.

At this moment of crisis, his mind worked at top speed, weighing the pros and cons, and it was then that a sudden thought flashed in his mind.

This thought forced him to gather all the lightning qi in the surroundings to his palm before making it explode.

Boom!

This resulted in a large sphere of lightning that contained immense destructive power.

Within a flash, this sphere expanded to the size of a massive ball of lightning before vanishing in thin air, however, this sphere had already caused enough damage as the Thunder Peak Sect Leader had intended to.

Everything that entered the sphere's range turned into powder.

Even the barrier of blooming flowers that previously blocked his attack had now turned into dust.

A large crater that chopped off one corner of the ring could be seen, but the most important thing to notice was that, the hand that was ensnaring his disciple previously had turned into dust and was nowhere to be seen.

But that wasn't all, the fact that shocked almost everyone was that his disciple also turned into dust by this attack. Thunder Peak Sect Leader had killed his disciple in front of everyone.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, The Thunder Peak Sect Leader flew to the ground and calmly knelt in front of Ashen on the ground.

He raised his head as he requested: "Your Highness, I have sacrificed my personal disciple before anyone else as you've tasked all of us. Please assign me the ranking I deserve!"

Most of the individuals present had their mouths gaped open in awe at his shamelessness, while Feng Xue couldn't believe his actions as she expressed her disbelief:

"You... How can you be so heartless to kill your own disciple like that? And now you are shameless enough to ask for a reward for the sin you just committed? How will you find the courage to look at yourself after what you've just done?"

Most of the individuals had same thoughts on the deed that he had just committed.

Just some moments ago, he was trying his hardest to protect the disciple that he just reduced to dust.

At this moment, The Thunder Peak Sect Leader couldn't hear anymore allegation as tears began rolling down his cheeks before he glared at Feng Xue with red eyes in anger that he was suppressing till now.

He roared, asking: "Then what was I supposed to do? It's easy to call me heartless while your disciples stay safe and sound. Didn't you see my situation?"

He pointed towards the Earth Root sect and Eternal Blossom Sect Leaders as he continued: "These two bastards killed my first disciple mercilessly and as if that wasn't enough, they were going to kill my other disciple as well. What do you propose I should've done? Tried to save him?, knowing that he would die anyway despite my vain attempts?"

"Since he was going to die by these bastards' hands anyways, I decided to kill him myself! At least that would give me a higher ranking in Prince Ashen's Faction. After that, I can take my revenge on them with the help of the faction."

"Also, killing my disciple would save me from getting eliminated and these bastards wouldn't get any higher ranking! I could only gamble at that moment. Even after knowing all this, if you want to call me heartless, then go ahead!"

Hearing his side of the situation, Feng Xue couldn't retort and many agreed with the Thunder Peak Sect Leader as they sympathized with him instead of blaming him. Those tears weren't fake.

"Your Highness, I humbly request the reward you promised!" Thunder Peak Sect Leader requested, again kneeling.

"Hmm..." Ashen nodded before acting to think.

Seeing him in thought, the sect leaders became anxious, focusing on Ashen's next words.

And It wasn't long before Ashen opened his mouth to speak calmly: "I don't think you've completed the task, Thunder Peak Sect Leader!"

Thunder Peak Sect Leader was taken aback before explaining himself in a hurry: "Huh? Your Highness, I killed my disciple as you had instructed and I was the first to do so!"

Ashen nodded in agreement before explaining what he meant by his previous sentence: "You're right, You did kill your disciple..."

Hearing this, A smile appeared on the Thunder Peak Sect Leader's face which soon disappeared due to Ashen's next words:

"But, you didn't sacrifice your disciples to show loyalty to me. You simply had no choice due to the actions of Earth Root and Eternal Blossom Sect Leaders. Tell me, if they wouldn't have forced you to, would you have sacrificed your disciples?" MVLeMpYr-the-story-platform

The Thunder Peak Sect Leader couldn't lie here and say that he would've done so, since, that would mean that everything that he had said before was a lie.

He revealed a somber expression, answering with tears in his eyes: "You are correct Your Highness, I didn't kill my disciple because of my loyalty to you but rather because I simply had no choice... but that doesn't change the fact that I killed my disciple with my own hands."

He, kneeling further down, rubbed his nose on the ground as he cried out: "I ask for your mercy and a chance to improve my ranking in your faction so that I can avenge my disciples in the future! It's the least I can do for them!"

"I beg of you, Your Highness! I promise to be loyal like a dog if you grant me this request!"

Seeing him cry like that, Ashen, being the kind person he was, felt pity for him.

Therefore, He nodded and granted his request: "Alright, Since you're so sincere, I'll grant your wish and give you the same chance as Earth Root and Eternal Blossom Sect Leaders!"

A merciful smile appeared on his lips, with his head resting calmly on his right hand, he gently said: "Kill the disciples of other sect Leaders and improve your ranking!"

Hearing his words, The Thunder Peak Sect Leader revealed a grateful smile before standing up and turning around to face the other sect leaders and their disciples as he whispered, loudly enough to let them hear: "Prepare to die... all of you!"
