Qing Piaoyun's might made everyone's heart tremble. They had never forgotten this rule, nor would they ever. Thus, they all complied. Being expelled from Qingcheng Mansion was shameful enough, but to have one's Cultivation crippled as well? That was a truly devastating blow.
Chen Yun must have remembered the rule, but he was clearly set up by Wan Ning. He probably thought detonating a Treasure Artifact would, at worst, cripple Lin Xuan, not kill him. But even crippling another disciple would incur Qing Piaoyun's wrath. It's not like they were mortal enemies—why resort to detonating a Treasure Artifact?
Just how ruthless must one be to detonate a Treasure Artifact just to harm an opponent?
As for what truly happened, no one would ever know. After today, Chen Yun would never be seen again.
"This match is over! Who else wishes to issue a challenge?" Qing Piaoyun continued with his duties. Others still needed to issue challenges; it wasn't just about Lin Xuan.
