Chapter 679: To fight or not to fight?!

"Wu Xiao, cease your insolence!"

Another aged voice rang out, filled with majesty.

Wu Xiao turned his gaze to see another white-haired elder; it was Elder Tian Shourong, ranked second among the four great elders.

Elder Tian possessed the strength of the Sea Realm, Fourth Stage, and even owned an extremely rare and precious artifact: the Immortal-Binding Whip!

This whip was blood-red, could extend to a length of a hundred meters, and was as agile as a serpent.

Once bound by the Immortal-Binding Whip, an ordinary person would find it difficult to escape, and the divine power within their body would be thrown into chaos, making it difficult for the target to cast spells.

Elder Tian held a transcendent status within the sect, not just because of his strength and elder position, but largely because of this powerful artifact!

"The challenge has already been set! The Lu Zongzhu has already granted your wish!" Elder Tian slowly stood up, his expression stern. "You are still running wild here—do you have any sense of hierarchy left in your eyes?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Koutian's heart was filled with wild joy!

Having just been adopted as a godson, he had thought he had found a great tree to lean on and would enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.

Unexpectedly, before the good days had even begun, someone wanted to challenge his godfather.

How could this be allowed?

Lin Koutian had also assumed that the sect's hierarchy was strict and that everyone should bow down before his godfather, and by extension, his own status would be very high.

The facts were indeed so! But the problem was, there was a rule left behind by the old Lu Zongzhu within the sect...

Bullshit rule!

It should have been abolished long ago!

As the master of a sect, why should one allow others to covet the throne?

Anyone who dared to harbor rebellious thoughts should be suppressed together and executed directly! That was the way it should be!

After this matter, he must have a good talk with his godfather to get this bullshit sect tenet abolished quickly.

"Elder Tian." Wu Xiao looked directly at the old man, word by word, "Do you want to come?"

Elder Tian's expression was gloomy: "Put the challenge aside for now! Today, you have shown no respect for your elders, defied the Lu Zongzhu and the elders, and caused a scene in the main hall. You should be punished!"

"Right!" Lin Koutian blurted out.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

The vast sea was on the verge of a clash, and you, a person of the River Realm, are meddling in it...

As soon as Lin Koutian finished speaking, he regretted it in his heart.

He wanted his godfather's status to be stable too much, and He Tangzhu Wu was coming on aggressively; no one could guarantee what would happen!

As long as the challenge didn't happen today, the seven days of preparation time in the future would be enough to pull some tricks.

"Godfather." Lin Koutian thought of a plan in his desperation and hurriedly knelt before Xie Wu Sheng. "Godfather, as the master of a sect, you readily agreed when faced with a subordinate's challenge.

You didn't even mind that this person broke the rules and ruined the festive atmosphere; you have already been magnanimous enough!

But this He Tangzhu is aggressive and defies you and the elders. Godfather, no matter how much you value talent, you cannot let him run wild..."

"The Young Master is right!"

"If a He Tangzhu is this arrogant, if he really becomes the Lu Zongzhu... if he really manages things, would that be acceptable?"

"Lu Zongzhu Xie, the sect has sect rules! We cannot let Wu Xiao be this insolent anymore..."

One by one, the shrewd ones emerged and hurriedly echoed the sentiment.

Some were Lu Zongzhu Xie's confidants, while others saw the elders taking a stand and decisively chose their side.

There were also some who harbored ulterior motives, wanting to take this opportunity to eliminate Wu Xiao, who had forcefully established himself in the Pear Garden Sect.

"Wu Xiao." Xie Wu Sheng finally spoke, looking down at the man below the hall. "Do you know your crime!"

Wu Xiao lowered his hands, which had been cupped in a salute, and looked up at Xie Wu Sheng. Anyone could see that his attitude was no longer respectful.

A faint voice came from Wu Xiao's mouth: "You are afraid."

"Insolent!"

"You are bold!"

"Damn it, say that again?" Beside Elder Cai, a black-faced man shouted angrily. He had long been displeased with Wu Xiao and wished he could slaughter him on the spot.

This person was the He Tangzhu of the Earth Fiend Hall, and he had a close personal friendship with the previous He Tangzhu of the Heaven Dipper Hall.

"Too hateful!" Another raspy voice came.

A rough man shouted loudly; it was Qin Zhan, the He Tangzhu of the Hundred Battles Hall. He cursed: "Lu Zongzhu Xie, kill him!

Go to the martial arts arena now and kill Wu Xiao in front of everyone!

Damn it, do you really think our Lu Zongzhu Xie is afraid?"

Lin Koutian:???

Everyone: "..."

"Second brother!" Qin Zhen shouted sternly.

Qin Zhan looked at his elder brother, his face full of defiance, still cursing: "Our Lu Zongzhu Xie can slap Wu Xiao to death with one palm! Are we afraid of him?"

Qin Zhen looked somewhat similar to Qin Zhan, clearly more composed, and he cupped his hands and said loudly: "Lu Zongzhu Xie, today Wu Xiao has defied and provoked us like this!

If Lu Zongzhu Xie does not personally behead this person, it will be hard to uphold the sect's discipline!"

He Tangzhu Wen Cheng, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, vaguely realizing something.

This scene...

It didn't seem like a rampant peak Sea Realm expert courting his own destruction.

It looked more like a mutiny, didn't it?

Sure enough, Qin Hongchan also stood out!

That red robe attracted everyone's attention, and her voice was unhurried: "I implore Lu Zongzhu Xie to personally eradicate the small fry and rectify the sect's discipline!"

"The Qin family, good! Good, good, good!" Xie Wu Sheng laughed in extreme anger. "Are you forcing the palace?"

Before the three Qin siblings could speak, another "named" person spoke.

Qin Pojun, He Tangzhu of the Broken Army Hall, frowned. Although he was still sitting in his chair, it was no different from standing behind the Qin family: "Lu Zongzhu Xie has repeatedly shirked responsibility; it's one thing to dampen his own prestige.

Dragging down the reputation of the Liyuan Sect like this, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"

The situation became clearer and clearer. Those who hadn't realized it before now saw that the hall had already split into two factions.

One faction was led by Lu Zongzhu Xie and the two elders, Cai and Tian.

One faction was led by Wu Xiao and the three Qin siblings.

There was also a third faction, but few had not been drawn into the vortex; after all, there were more sycophants.

Like He Tangzhu Wen Cheng, who had never expressed a stance from beginning to end and had never left his seat, there were only a sparse two or three people.

"You! You..." Elder Cai was furious, pointing his finger at the Qin family members below the hall. "Your positions as Hall Masters were all given by Lu Zongzhu Xie. You are ungrateful! Are you trying to rebel?!"

Qin Hongchan looked directly at the old man: "Elder Cai is senile! Everyone's status in the sect and everything they possess is given by the sect's rules and seized by their own strength.

Now that the Lu Zongzhu is timid and cowardly and unwilling to follow the sect's rules, then the position of Lu Zongzhu should no longer be his, shouldn't it?"

"Take this thief down for me!" Elder Cai shouted angrily.

Wu Xiao and the three Qin siblings stood where they were.

Likewise, no one dared to step forward rashly.

Just as Elder Cai was about to say something more, Wei Yun, He Tangzhu of the Flowing Cloud Hall, suddenly stood up.

One of the only four peak Sea Realm experts in the Liyuan Sect, he immediately captured everyone's attention.

The godson, Lin Koutian, was overjoyed!

In the past three days, he had also learned about the Liyuan Sect and knew that this Wei Yun was one of the top experts in the sect!

Great, he responded to Elder Cai's order and stood out!

Some were happy and some were sad; the Qin family members' hearts sank.

Emperor Wu, he truly had the demeanor of a great general!

He remained expressionless, merely turning his head slightly to look behind him with his peripheral vision.

Wei Yun was tall and walked with a tiger's stride, wearing a silver-white martial outfit, looking neat and spirited.

He was handsome, and his voice was as clear as a spring, but the content of his words was sharp: "Xie Wu Sheng! Wu Xiao is rampant to this extent; give me an answer, will you fight or not!"

Everyone:!!!

Lin Koutian's face turned ashen!

The godfather he had newly recognized didn't look much better.

And Wu Xiao, who was always expressionless, rarely revealed a hint of a smile.

Xie Wu Sheng's anger flared up: "Wei Yun! This Lu Zongzhu has already personally set it, seven days later..."

"Mr. Yu is right! Things that rise through flattery are indeed cowardly and afraid of death!" Wei Yun waved his hand, and a silver long spear flew rapidly from outside the hall door.

Unexpected to everyone.

Even Wu Xiao and the Qin family members were a bit stunned.

Wei Yun strode forward; he actually made the first move?

"Mr. Yu?" Xie Wu Sheng's face was terrifyingly gloomy. The divine sword at his waist was instantly unsheathed, and a black command flag hung behind his back. "Wu Xiao, Wei Yun, and others are colluding to rebel; kill without mercy!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the troops in the hall were gathered, today was the perfect time to take down Wu Xiao and Wei Yun in one fell swoop!

In an instant, except for Wu Xiao and his group, everyone's water armor in the hall was stained with black energy, turning into "Black Water Armor."

The powerful effect of the artifact was a reassurance for everyone.

And those stained with black energy were naturally incorporated into Xie Wu Sheng's camp.

However, He Tangzhu Wen Cheng did not take it for granted; he stood up but retreated silently...

"Boom!"

Behind Xie Wu Sheng, there was not only the artifact, the Profound Armor Command Flag, but also six blue and white command flags. As Wei Yun rushed over, one of the flags exploded with a bang.

Martial Monk Divine Technique: Blazing Fire Burning Camp Order!

As Lin Koutian retreated repeatedly, his expression changed suddenly: "Godfather..."

Fire exploded in the main hall, and a sea of fire engulfed all living things.

Xie Wu Sheng was a peak Sea Realm expert, and the divine technique he cast should be defined as Sea Artifact, Fifth Stage. Anyone engulfed by the fire would have their water armor shattered completely.

But Xie Wu Sheng also took the lead in sacrificing an artifact, turning the water armor of his side into pieces of Black Water Armor, with their defensive power rising sharply.

But a problem arose!

The Black Water Armor created by the artifact, the Profound Armor Command Flag, was an enhancement based on the believers' original armor.

No matter how much Lin Koutian's River Artifact, Water Armor, was enhanced, it couldn't block a blow from a peak Sea Realm master!

"Ah..." Lin Koutian's shrill scream lasted only for an instant, and his whole body was blown away by the fire.

The main hall collapsed with a bang, and fire shot into the sky.

Lin Koutian's body was blown to pieces, charred black, and too horrible to look at, falling heavily to the ground.

The good days of power and influence he had fantasized about never came to pass.

The godfather he had just knelt and recognized didn't care about his life at all; what appreciation, what affection...

None of it was as important as dealing a blow to Wei Yun.

Suddenly, Lin Koutian discovered that he had been "reborn."

To be precise, he had turned into a wandering soul and saw his own shattered corpse lying dead on the ground.

Fire filled the sky, and wind and thunder danced together.

The Liyuan Sect was in chaos, and shouts of killing rose everywhere.

But all of this could not affect Lin Koutian, who was in the form of a wandering soul. He stood beside his own horrible corpse, the hatred in his eyes growing thicker and more astonishing...

Damn it!

Xie Wu Sheng!!

I will kill you! I want you to pay the price... ah ah ah? What is that in the sky?

Jiang... Jiang Ruyi?

Lady Lady Luo Xian?
