Shen Liang's expression turned cold, his hands clenched into fists.
A flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
No matter how much he wanted to slap Bai Zihan across the face, he couldn't afford to act recklessly—not when other disciples were present.
After all, this was his territory, and he believed he could get justice for what he had suffered unfairly at the Bai Clan.
Bai Zihan, on the other hand, remained utterly relaxed, even tilting his head slightly as if daring Shen Liang to make a move.
Elder Lu, unwilling to let this mockery continue, spoke again.
"Enough!"
His voice boomed through the hall.
"Bai Zihan, since you don't want to compromise, your admission to the Heaven Sword Sect is denied. You are not welcome here!"
A silence fell over the disciples.
For many, this was exactly what they wanted—to see Bai Zihan get kicked out.
But instead of looking concerned, Bai Zihan simply raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Is that so?"
