Capítulo 1072: Chapter 1073: I Won’t Allow You to Slander Lin Fei Like This!
Lu Jing’s words were a direct challenge to Lin Fei.
At the same time, Tong Qinhai, the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect, and Bai Qianzhang of the Hundred Victories Sect rose from their seats, expressing their furious support for Lu Jing: “Sect Leader Lu is right. Lingkong Zhenren was our old and close friend; now that he has died without a clear reason, we must seek justice for him!”
“Lin Fei, you killed the Sect Leader of a Secret Realm faction at will, aren’t you afraid of arousing public anger?”
The Sect Leaders of the Tianying Sect, Kongtong Sect, and Hundred Victories Sect all challenged Lin Fei, and the Young Masters and Elders of the other factions also showed expressions of amusement, as if watching a show.
Gao Qiu and Qing Tiancheng exchanged glances, each with a sinister and pleased look in their eyes. As expected, the three sects of Tianying, Kongtong, and Hundred Victories were confronting Lin Fei. They were eager to see how Lin Fei would respond.
Even the Third Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect, sitting on the grand chair to the left, was curious to see how Lin Fei would resolve this crisis.
Although representing the Celestial Dragon Sect at Lin Fei’s Sect Leader inauguration, as the head of the thirty-six Secret Realm factions, this Third Elder would not speak for any side.
Of course, if someone went too far, he might stand up and say a few words of fairness as the Elder of the leading faction.
As for participating in the grudges and disputes between these smaller factions, he had no interest, and it would also be beneath his dignity.
Lin Fei handed over the brocade box containing the Celestial Dragon Life-extending Pill to Qingcheng.
Then, Lin Fei, calm and composed, looked at the Sect Leaders of Tianying, Kongtong, and Hundred Victories, and said: “Sect Leaders, Lingkong Zhenren captured my friends and planned to kill them. I had no choice but to eliminate Lingkong Zhenren. What kind of justice do you intend to seek for Lingkong Zhenren?”
“Lin Fei, do you think everyone will believe your words?” Lu Jing sneered coldly, “As the Sect Leader of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, why would Lingkong Zhenren capture your friends for no reason?”
Lin Fei said, “Sect Leader Lu, I also believed Lingkong Zhenren shouldn’t have harmed my friends, yet he did.”
“This is nothing but your nonsensical claim to usurp Lingkong Zhenren’s position as Sect Leader. I advise you to announce in front of the ten major sects that you renounce the position of Sect Leader and cripple your own martial arts to make amends, and we might spare your life!” Tong Qinhai, the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sword Sect, furrowed his white brows and pointed angrily at Lin Fei.
As if Lin Fei were an unforgivable villain of immense crime.
“That’s right, you must not become the Sect Leader, and you should cripple your martial arts to repent!” Lu Jing and Bai Qianzhang immediately echoed loudly.
The legendary masters from the Tianying, Kongtong, and Hundred Victories Sects also raised their arms and shouted: “Don’t let him become the Sect Leader, cripple your martial arts to repent!”
The Elders of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect stroked their white beards and gazed deeply, keeping a calm demeanor but secretly observing the reactions of Gao Qiu, the Young Master of the Divine Sword Sect, Qing Tiancheng, and the leaders of other factions allied to the Divine Sword Sect.
He was not worried about Lin Fei’s strength and knew the Third Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect would never participate in the grudges between other factions.
However, Lu Jing and others mentioned that Lin Fei was originally from the Qingxu Sect, so he worried whether the Divine Sword Sect might support Lin Fei.
Facing the legendary masters from the Tianying, Kongtong, and Hundred Victories Sects shouting, and the three Sect Leaders aggressively pushing, Lin Fei’s expression turned slightly colder, his eyes sparkling, and his body exuded a faint aura.
Lin Fei gazed at the three Sect Leaders, Lu Jing, Tong Qinhai, and Bai Qianzhang, and said, “Sect Leaders, I’m afraid I must disappoint you. Not only will I not renounce my position as Sect Leader, but I must continue to hold it, and as for crippling my martial arts to apologize, that’s simply wishful thinking!”
When Lin Fei spoke the words “wishful thinking,” Lu Jing, Tong Qinhai, and Bai Qianzhang immediately looked extremely displeased.
“Lin Fei, not only have you usurped the position of Sect Leader and killed Lingkong Zhenren, committing grievous crimes, but you’ve also abducted my daughter Qingcheng, who was promised to Gao Qiu. You’re simply an enemy to our ten major sects, and even if it means my death today, I must rescue my daughter,” at this moment, Qing Tiancheng stood up from the grand chair, pointed at Lin Fei with eyes full of anger, and said through gritted teeth.
Lu Jing, Tong Qinhai, and Bai Qianzhang did not expect Qing Tiancheng to also challenge Lin Fei.
And the reason for the challenge was that Lin Fei had taken his daughter Qingcheng.
The Grand Elder of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect showed a hint of surprise. Wasn’t Lin Fei a member of the Qingxu Sect?
Why was Qing Tiancheng challenging Lin Fei too?
The interest in the eyes of the Third Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect grew. Lu Jing and the others wanted to stand up for the deceased Lingkong Zhenren, and now Qing Tiancheng wanted his daughter back. This was becoming more and more interesting.
Of course, he didn’t believe Lin Fei actually abducted Qingcheng, as he couldn’t see any signs of reluctance or coercion in Qingcheng’s demeanor.
Moreover, he had heard that Qing Tiancheng had promised Qingcheng to Gao Qiu, and Qingcheng likely favored Lin Fei and refused to be with Gao Qiu, which is why Qing Tiancheng claimed Lin Fei had taken his daughter.
However, the Third Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect could see the truth, but the legendary masters of other factions were not as calm. Hearing Qing Tiancheng’s words, many of them, who were enamored with the goddess Qingcheng, were incited.
Hearing that Qingcheng was taken by Lin Fei and not truly enamored by him, they erupted with fury, shouting at Lin Fei: “Robber, release Qingcheng!”
“We will never let you harm a single hair on Miss Qingcheng!”
“Release Qingcheng now, or we’ll kill you.”
The cacophony of anger reverberated throughout the great hall.
Lu Jing, Tong Qinhai, and Bai Qianzhang exchanged triumphant glances. It seemed Qingxu Sect wanted to deal with Lin Fei just as they did.
This was indeed wonderful!
Qing Tiancheng was quite pleased to see everyone’s wrath directed at Lin Fei.
His incitement at this moment was meant to create more trouble for Lin Fei.
“Everyone, please calm down!” Just then, Qingcheng stood up from the throne, her gaze calm as water, and addressed the legendary masters from various factions in the great hall.
Upon hearing Qingcheng speak, the legendary masters from each faction immediately quieted down, their eyes glowing with anticipation.
Their goddess was finally going to denounce Lin Fei’s evil deeds, and as soon as the goddess uttered a plea for help, they would rush forward and turn Lin Fei into a paste.
However, Qingcheng looked at them and said, her voice icy with anger, “Listen up, everything my father said is false. Without my consent, he promised me to Gao Qiu, but I don’t like Gao Qiu. I like Lin Fei, so I won’t allow you to slander Lin Fei like this.”
As soon as Qingcheng said this, the legendary masters, who were just indignantly defending the goddess Qingcheng, were dumbfounded.
So they had wasted their expressions being indignant just now?
And their dreams of heroically saving a damsel in distress would never happen?
With faces full of embarrassment, all the legendary masters felt like they were caught in a whirlwind.
As the spirit of all legendary masters was extinguishing, their mouths silent, Qing Tiancheng’s voice rose once more: “Qingcheng, I know you are under threat and forced to speak against your will, but you don’t need to worry. The ten major sects are here; they will certainly uphold justice for you.”
