Chapter 74: Elder Confrontation
Lin Feng seemed not to have heard Wenren Yan's words, his gaze indifferent. He had indeed seen plenty of so-called geniuses.
"Han Man, was it him who injured you?" Lin Feng asked Han Man, naturally referring to Wenren Yan.
"Yeah." Han Man nodded, then leaned close to Lin Feng's ear and whispered, "Wenren Yan was only weaker than the Butcher among the inner disciples back then. Now that the Butcher has entered the core, Wenren Yan is the strongest among the inner disciples. He's very powerful. I'm not in a hurry to get revenge. I believe that in a while, you'll definitely be able to defeat him."
Very powerful, huh?
Among the inner disciples, the Third Layer of Spirit Martial Realm was considered an expert and could rank high. Those at the Fourth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm could even shake the status of core disciples. If Wenren Yan had reached the Fourth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm, with his arrogance, he wouldn't have remained an inner disciple. He was most likely at the peak of the Third Layer of Spirit Martial Realm.
This level of cultivation was indeed very strong, but not invincible. At the very least, even if Lin Feng's strength wasn't as great as his opponent's, he was confident he could retreat safely.
"There's no need to discuss it. You only have one chance to consider. Otherwise, no matter how good your talent is, I'll still take your life."
Wenren Yan's arrogant voice rang out again. He wouldn't hesitate to fight even a core disciple, let alone a newly promoted outer disciple. Although Lin Feng had grasped a trace of Sword Momentum, his strength was too weak to be a concern.
The power of a Martial Soul was no weaker than Sword Momentum, and Wenren Yan had absolute confidence in his own Martial Soul.
"There's no need to consider it anymore." Lin Feng shook his head, a strange, cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He said slowly, "Even if you kneel down and beg me, I have no intention of letting you off."
As Lin Feng's words fell, everyone's gaze froze. What a bold guy. Did he even know who he was facing?
Wenren Yan, the number one inner disciple, valued by the sect. What was Lin Feng? Just a newly risen outer disciple.
"Heh, good... good..." Wenren Yan was so angry he laughed instead. His azure-blue eyes narrowed into slits, the cold light shooting out making him feel like a venomous snake, extremely poisonous, sending chills down everyone's spine.
"Damn, Wenren Yan is about to lose his temper."
Someone thought to themselves, feeling a chill run through their bodies. They quickly stepped back, not daring to get close to Wenren Yan.
Lin Feng also felt the biting cold emanating from Wenren Yan. This coldness was different from others'—sharp, vicious, and venomous.
"Wenren Yan, what do you think you're doing? This isn't the Wind Cloud Gorge, and it's certainly not the Life and Death Platform." Liu Fei's expression changed. She stepped forward and actually stood in front of Lin Feng.
There was a reason Wenren Yan claimed Liu Fei was his woman. In fact, Wenren Yan and Liu Fei had a deep history. Liu Fei knew very well how terrifying Wenren Yan was. This handsome young man was nothing but a venomous snake.
Liu Fei still planned to bring Lin Feng into the Snow Moon Holy Academy, so she naturally didn't want him to die so soon. In her eyes, although Lin Feng wasn't weak, he was far from being a match for Wenren Yan. If they fought, he would surely die.
"You are my woman, Wenren Yan's woman. Protecting another man like this—aren't you afraid of making me angry?"
Wenren Yan said with a sinister smile, his azure-blue eyes becoming especially eerie. Those who knew him understood that Wenren Yan was about to kill.
"I have never said I am your woman, and I will never be your woman. Give up. On the contrary, I am now Lin Feng's woman. If you dare to touch Lin Feng, I will never let you off."
Liu Fei's beautiful eyes stared at Wenren Yan, her tone serious.
"So that's it. Liu Fei actually admitted she's Lin Feng's woman. I wonder what kind of dogshit luck Lin Feng stumbled into to win the heart of the most beautiful woman in Cloud Sea Sect."
The crowd's gazes all shot toward Lin Feng, filled with hostility.
The injured Han Man looked at Lin Feng with worshipful eyes. Strong, truly strong. He had actually managed to win over Liu Fei so quickly. Even core disciples couldn't capture Liu Fei's heart, yet she admitted to being his woman. No wonder he was Han Man's brother!!!
As for the protagonist Lin Feng at this moment, dark lines appeared on his forehead, his face full of black lines. Since when was Liu Fei his woman?
Seeing the murderous looks from the surrounding crowd, Lin Feng felt like cursing. This woman... what the hell was she thinking?
"Then I want him dead even more." Wenren Yan's gaze grew even more sinister, his cold aura radiating outward.
"Do you dare?" Liu Fei shouted angrily.
"In Cloud Sea Sect, there's nothing I, Wenren Yan, don't dare to do."
With a cold laugh, Wenren Yan showed complete disdain.
"Is that so? After today, there will be." A steady voice came from afar. A figure walked over, stepping into the cave dwelling.
"What an arrogant bastard. Wenren Yan, do you think Cloud Sea Sect is your home?" The newcomer sneered, looking at Wenren Yan with some displeasure.
"Xue Yue, what business is this of yours? My affairs don't seem to require your interference."
Wenren Yan also looked at the other party with displeasure, his gaze cold.
"Wenren Yan is really something else. He even dares to scold an elder?"
The crowd's hearts trembled again. Xue Yue was an outer sect elder of Cloud Sea Sect. How many people in the sect dared to scold an elder?
"Hmph, Lin Feng and the others came here to receive their inner disciple tokens, and you threaten to kill them. What do you take Cloud Sea Sect for? As an elder of Cloud Sea Sect, how can I not intervene?"
"In my territory, you indeed have no right to interfere."
A cold voice came from inside the cave dwelling, and then a blue-robed middle-aged man walked out from within.
"Elder Lu." Wenren Yan smiled slightly at the blue-robed man. This man was also an outer sect elder, responsible for issuing disciple tokens and robes, as well as updating the rankings on the stone wall.
Lu Yuan nodded gently at Wenren Yan, his gaze warm. But when it fell on Xue Yue, it was far from friendly.
"Xue Yue, why don't you stay in your own territory and come here to cause trouble?"
"What do you mean?" Xue Yue looked at Lu Yuan and asked.
"What do I mean? This place is under my, Lu Yuan's, jurisdiction. It has nothing to do with you."
"You mean Wenren Yan can kill anyone he wants here, even inner disciples?"
"If one's skill is inferior, no one will feel sorry if they die. Xue Yue, you're meddling too much."
The crowd was stunned. They didn't expect the conflict between Wenren Yan and Lin Feng to trigger a confrontation between two elders. But Elder Lu's words were cold. If one's skill was inferior, they deserved to die, even if they were an inner disciple. How cruel.
According to Elder Lu's meaning, if Lin Feng was weaker than Wenren Yan and was killed by him, it served him right. The weak had no control over their own life and death. How tragic.
Lin Feng naturally understood Elder Lu's meaning. Although he wore a smile on his face, a chill filled his heart.
He had become an inner disciple and came to receive his token, but the elder in charge of issuing tokens said that if his strength was inferior to Wenren Yan's, he deserved to die. What kind of logic was that?
As for Xue Yue, Lin Feng had met him once. A few days ago, Old Man Bei had him guard the Star Pavilion, so he was clearly one of Old Man Bei's people.
"Elder Xue." Lin Feng suddenly called out. Xue Yue turned his gaze to Lin Feng.
"Thank you." Lin Feng smiled, then stepped forward, facing Lu Yuan and Wenren Yan, and said, "Elder Lu, Lin Feng has come to receive his inner disciple token and robes."
Lu Yuan glanced at Lin Feng indifferently, his gaze filled with disdain. Going against Wenren Yan was asking for death. Wenren Yan wasn't just strong in personal strength and talent; his background was also terrifying.
To win Wenren Yan's favor, a mere Lin Feng was nothing.
"Elder Lu, Lin Feng has come to receive his inner disciple token and robes."
Lin Feng raised his voice slightly, speaking clearly, neither humble nor arrogant.
"You don't know your place." Lu Yuan swept his gaze over Lin Feng and spat out a single word: "Scram."
