# Chapter 317: Provoking Everyone

The crowd stared at the figure on the platform, their hearts shaken.

That's right. If this person was Lin Feng, then Wenren Yan would naturally know that sending someone to kill Lin Feng was like throwing an egg against a rock—utterly futile. Yet Wenren Yan had not spoken a word to stop it, revealing his character for what it was: not good at all.

For someone to fight for him and be treated this way—this conduct could not even be called good; it could only be described as despicable.

The lies of Duan Lie and Wenren Yan had been shattered without needing to be defended.

The man Lin Feng had seized immediately wore an ugly expression, his eyes filled with anger. Wenren Yan, how shameless! He had gone out of his way to flatter him and had even attacked Lin Feng on his behalf.

"Lin Feng, this has nothing to do with me," the man said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng glanced at him indifferently, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Nothing to do with you? How ridiculous. If I were weaker than you, wouldn't I already be dead by your hand?" Lin Feng's voice carried a biting chill. "When you choose to do something, you should be prepared to face the consequences."

With that, a sword qi surged from Lin Feng's fingertip, piercing directly into the man's throat. The crowd's eyes trembled violently.

Killed. Lin Feng had killed him, without any mercy!

Even as he died, the man's eyes remained wide open, unable to close in death.

Lin Feng turned his gaze away, his expression calm. Misunderstanding? In this cruel world, were there really so many misunderstandings? If he were weak, this "misunderstanding" would have cost him his life, and the other party would no longer consider it a misunderstanding—it would simply be a means to flatter Wenren Yan.

For someone who tried to kill him, why should he show mercy?

Turning his eyes to Wenren Yan, a hint of mockery appeared on Lin Feng's lips.

"Cloud Sea Sect's number one genius?"

Lin Feng spoke softly, his voice not particularly loud, yet loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.

When Wenren Yan heard Lin Feng's words, his expression became especially interesting. Earlier, Duan Lie had said that Wenren Yan was the Cloud Sea Sect's number one genius and the sect's designated future leader. Later, Wenren Yan himself had stepped forward to acknowledge this "fact." But now, Lin Feng, also from the Cloud Sea Sect, stood before him.

Who, then, was the Cloud Sea Sect's number one genius?

"Number one genius of the Cloud Sea Sect—I, Lin Feng, am also a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect. Now, I would like to seek your guidance. What do you say?"

Seeing Wenren Yan remain silent, Lin Feng spoke again, his tone indifferent, making Wenren Yan's expression grow more and more interesting.

The crowd below also showed strange looks in their eyes. Was Wenren Yan really the Cloud Sea Sect's number one genius? And now Lin Feng was challenging him!

"Lin Feng, let's settle our past grievances another day. Today is my wedding day. Please leave," Wenren Yan said in a low voice, a trace of coldness seeping through his eyes. Lin Feng's appearance had shattered everything, causing him to lose all face.

"Leave?" Lin Feng sneered. "You claim to be the Cloud Sea Sect's number one genius, the sect's designated future leader, with unparalleled character and talent. I, Lin Feng, am a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect—I was before, and I still am now. I want to ask you, Wenren Yan: back when Duan Tianlang attacked the Cloud Sea Sect, who was the first to betray and become a traitor?"

Wenren Yan's face darkened, and he remained silent.

"Wenren Yan, you betrayed your master and sect—you are a renegade. Yet now, you stand here in front of others and claim to be the Cloud Sea Sect's most outstanding and excellent disciple, a disciple of perfect character. Do you think that because the Cloud Sea Sect was destroyed, no one can expose your lies?"

"Enough!" Wenren Yan roared in anger. "Lin Feng, don't be ungrateful."

"Shut up!" Lin Feng shouted back. Hearing Wenren Yan dare to roar at him, he took a step forward, and a vast, overwhelming killing intent surged into the sky. Wenren Yan's face instantly turned pale, and he stumbled backward wildly, his feet pounding against the ground with a thumping sound, his expression ugly beyond words.

"A waste like you, calling yourself a genius, and still daring to say I'm ungrateful? Do you, Wenren Yan, even have any face left?"

Lin Feng mocked him. "You, Wenren Yan, are nothing but a shameless renegade, yet you dare to speak to me like this."

"Enough!" Duan Lie stood up from the viewing platform, staring coldly at Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, get lost."

"You shut up too!" Lin Feng roared back. Get lost? Ridiculous!

"Just now, weren't you boasting that your son-in-law was the Cloud Sea Sect's number one genius, with unparalleled talent and character? Now I'm standing here. What are you afraid of? Why are you so eager to make me leave?"

"What exactly do you want?" Duan Lie's eyes flashed with killing intent. How hateful Lin Feng was! He wished he could cut Lin Feng down on the spot.

He dared to disrupt even his daughter's wedding!

"What do I want?" A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. He said calmly, "Duan Lie, you and Duan Yu have some grudges with me, but Duan Yu got a slap from me, and you never got the better of me either. I, Lin Feng, never intended to pursue matters with you and Duan Yu. Unfortunately, Duan Lie, you chose your son-in-law well—it had to be Wenren Yan. Today, I, Lin Feng, am here to settle accounts with Wenren Yan. As for what you want to do, you'd better think carefully."

The crowd's eyes trembled. This was a threat—a naked, blatant threat!

Lin Feng had made it very clear: today, he was here to settle accounts with Wenren Yan. As for Duan Lie, he could let it go. But if Duan Lie chose to get involved, he should think carefully about the consequences.

Lin Feng was threatening a royal prince—Duan Lie!

Duan Lie naturally caught the threat in Lin Feng's words. His expression was extremely ugly. Damn it! Today was his daughter's wedding, with nobles and wealthy families from all sides gathered here, including people from the Yue Family and the Yu Family. Yet under these circumstances, Lin Feng still dared to threaten him.

On the high platform stood only Lin Feng alone, while they had countless experts.

Lin Feng was too arrogant, too lawless, treating all of them as if they were nothing.

Not only was anger rising in Duan Lie's face, but even the nobles and wealthy families wore cold smiles, especially the hot-blooded young men.

Some people from the Snow Moon Holy Academy saw Lin Feng kill their academy's disciple as soon as he arrived, and his aggressive attitude made them feel humiliated, filling them with hatred for Lin Feng.

Yue Tianchen and Yu Tianxing also glared at Lin Feng with fury. This bastard was too arrogant!

"Lin Feng, although you have been enfeoffed as the Crimson Blood Marquis, there are many here with higher status and position than you. Prince Duan Lie, after all, is of royal blood. Do you really think that just because you've been granted a noble title, you can act lawlessly and look down on everyone?"

Yu Tianxing couldn't help but speak up, mocking Lin Feng, his eyes flashing with vengeful light. The humiliation of that day was still hard to erase—it was his nightmare.

Lin Feng raised his head and glanced indifferently at Yu Tianxing. A hint of mockery flashed in his calm eyes.

"And even if that's the case, what do you intend to do?"

Lin Feng uttered a single sentence lightly, causing Yu Tianxing's eyes to freeze. Even if I am arrogant and look down on everyone, what do you, Yu Tianxing, intend to do?

Arrogant. Extremely arrogant.

Lin Feng didn't need to give any of these people face. They were all his enemies. What if they looked down on him? He was Lin Feng, and this was how he was. What did they intend to do?

The crowd below let out a breath, feeling a surge of hot blood rising in their chests. It was as if they had become Lin Feng themselves, looking at those lofty, high-and-mighty figures, mocking them, being arrogant toward them, saying: This is how I am. What do you intend to do?

Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Yu Tianxing's face turned as dark as water, ugly beyond words. His chest heaved uncontrollably, and he couldn't even speak.

This bastard! Hateful bastard! And yet, he didn't know how to refute Lin Feng. His strength was inferior to Lin Feng's. What could he do? He could only keep this debt in his heart.

"You're also a waste. Without your family, you're nothing—just trash," Lin Feng seemed unwilling to let Yu Tianxing off, coldly spitting out these words, making Yu Tianxing's expression grow uglier and uglier.

You're just a waste. Without your family's power, you're nothing but trash. This was Lin Feng's insult to him.

The sons and daughters of those noble families all glared at Lin Feng with hatred and anger, but Lin Feng didn't care at all.

Since he had stepped onto this ground, he was prepared to face everything.

Looking at those on the high platform who usually acted so high and mighty, a mocking expression appeared on his lips as he lightly uttered a sentence.

"Any of you who are not convinced, step forward and fight me, Lin Feng. Victory means life; defeat means death. If you don't dare, then stay where you are and shut the hell up. Stop farting."

Lin Feng, alone, was provoking everyone!
