Chapter 625: Leveraging Public Opinion

Obviously, part of the crowd below also vaguely guessed something.

And Xuan Yi, upon seeing this scene, felt her heart sink sharply.

After all, seeing the actions of those people below, anyone who isn't stupid can tell that the crowd below certainly knows something.

If outsiders didn't know about this, the three of them could still operate.

But now that this matter is known to the public, even the Three Giants of Dan Tower are powerless to turn the tide.

"This bastard, Xiao Yan just tried to ambush you, didn't even kill you, and yet you're spreading this, ruining Xiao Yan's reputation?!"

Thinking this, Xuan Yi felt pity for Xiao Yan, and moreover was angry at Lin Feng to the point of gritting her teeth.

But thinking of Lin Feng's side, there are only two people here now, which doesn't match the five people mentioned by the Wind Venerable.

Furthermore, according to the Wind Venerable, one of the women seems to be from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

Therefore, she gritted her teeth and could only withdraw the spatial power beside Lin Feng.

Of course, if she later learned that there was a Primordial Ancient Dragon behind Lin Feng, she would probably be overjoyed with her current decision.

Feeling the spatial power beside him disappear, Lin Feng let out a slight sigh of relief, then coldly said: "If we're talking about harming fellow disciples, that's also Xiao Yan."

"And I was quite lucky; when this happened, it just so happened that people from a city saw it. Witnesses—there can be as many as needed—so even if the Great Elder came here to judge, I wouldn't be afraid."

After saying that, Lin Feng stared at Xuan Yi's mature, married-woman-like face and calmly said: "However, Elder Xuan Yi, as one of Dan Tower's managers, coming here and indiscriminately slapping charges on me without distinguishing right from wrong—this seems improper!"

"Xiao Yan is a disciple of our president's friend, Medicine Venerable. Earlier, when our president saw you wanting to kill Xiao Yan, he panicked and lost control of his emotions. Here, our president apologizes to you."

Xuan Yi pondered briefly in her heart, and ultimately still apologized to Lin Feng.

After all, with so many people below watching, she, as a Dan Tower giant, certainly cannot act recklessly.

Because she knows that Qingling City is one of several transfer stations surrounding Holy Dan City.

Every day, a large number of Dan Tower alchemists come and go from here.

If she did anything, it would spread to all surrounding cities by tomorrow.

So she also cannot act forcefully.

But then she immediately continued: "However, Xiao Yan is a Dan Tower disciple; although he made some mistakes, he should be punished by us. What qualifications do you, a Dan Tower disciple, have to punish him? This act seriously violates Dan Tower's regulations and deserves severe punishment!"

"I refuse to accept this; Xiao Yan slaughtered fellow disciples, and if we don't execute him for such new conduct, then everyone on the Central Plains will think our Dan Tower is as chaotic as the Western Wastelands. As a member of Dan Tower, I, Lin Feng, will definitely protect our Dan Tower's reputation to the fullest."

"And by publicly executing this scoundrel, I aim to shock the world, letting them know that Dan Tower is a force that prohibits internal conflict, a force that enforces its rules fully, and a force that is fair and just!"

"If we don't kill this Xiao Yan who slaughtered fellow disciples this time, others will think Dan Tower members will randomly rob fellow disciples. That would cause cultivators across the Central Plains to live in fear, worrying that anything of theirs might catch Dan Tower's eye and suddenly be ambushed by a group of strongmen!"

Hearing Xuan Yi's shameless words, Lin Feng cursed inwardly and, indignant, said:

That look was as if not killing Xiao Yan would cause Dan Tower to close its doors tomorrow.

Seeing this, Xuan Yi's mouth twitched slightly again.

Although she rarely sees Lin Feng, but according to information obtained from various channels.

this guy's temperament is clearly not the naive, easily provoked type.

Now this attitude is basically him standing on the moral high ground and urinating on her, while also steering the topic back.

However, the former's words obviously made many alchemists below feel agreeable.

Many of them regard Dan Tower as their holy land in their hearts.

Usually, they also take pride in the Dan Tower rank medal on their chest.

Now, Xiao Yan, in broad daylight, actually ambushed his own fellow disciples.

If not severely punished, they will indeed harbor some resentment in their hearts.

And many strong individuals who go to Dan Tower seeking medicine also flicker with a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

After all, they have confidence in seeking medicine this time because they found a treasure of extremely high quality.

They have great confidence in being able to move the hearts of Dan Tower alchemists.

But now that this situation has arisen, it also adds a hint of worry to their hearts.

Seeing this, Xuan Yi instantly felt that she was in trouble.

After all, although these people are not as strong as her, their numbers are extremely large.

From today onward, they will definitely spread this matter.

By then, the impact could become huge.

Under such public opinion pressure, Xiao Dan Tower might actually kill Xiao Yan

Thinking of that terrifying scene, Xuan Yi's face darkened, she suppressed her emotions and urged: "First hand Xiao Yan over to me; once we bring him back to Dan Tower, someone will naturally discuss a solution!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng also knew Xuan Yi's emotions were nearing the breaking point, and he likewise continued to jump down.

He immediately nodded, rubbed his chin with his palm, and said: "Elder Xuan Yi's words also make sense; after all, Dan Tower is a fair and just force, so it's impossible for some people to secretly pull tricks and cover for others. Surely they will also give me, the victim, a fair and just answer for the millions of Dan Tower alchemists!"

Saying this, Lin Feng's tone shifted, and he calmly said: "However, at that time, our group happened to include members of an ancient race; this matter is of great importance, so we still need to pay attention to their emotions."

After saying that, he didn't even glance at Xuan Yi's face, directly flicked his palm and threw Xiao Yan over.

Immediately afterward, he quickly grabbed Xiao Yixian and flew into the space wormhole leading to Ye City.

After all, he had successfully spread this matter and even attracted the Three Giants of Dan Tower.

Thus, today's events, under the double buff of Dan Tower disciples slaughtering fellow disciples and Elder Xuan Yi, a Dan Tower giant, appearing.

will certainly spread throughout the Central Plains in an extremely short time.

And his purpose has already been achieved.

With public opinion pressure, even the Three Giants of Dan Tower cannot suppress this matter through threats or bribes.

Therefore, they can only honestly report to Xiao Dan Tower now.

As for Lin Feng himself, he just needs to wait at home for the result.

Because he doesn't know that Gu Xun'er is under house arrest, in Lin Feng's eyes, Gu Xun'er is already on her way here.

Wait a moment, in case that woman Gu Xun'er arrives, he fears he won't be able to reason with the former.

After all, Xuan Yi, as one of the three heads of the Pill Pagoda, cannot avoid speaking reason in public.

But Gu Xun'er is not the Ancient Clan's young lady whose position is secured by relying on these people.

Furthermore, the Ancient Seven Clans basically look down on anyone not of Dou Emperor bloodline.

Therefore, her causing a fuss also makes Lin Feng feel very troubled.

Now that this matter is known to the public, for Lin Feng, that's enough.

After all, in the end, no matter how Xiao Yan handles it.

As the victim, he will definitely receive compensation of extremely high quality.

And moreover, it's likely to be a grand, showy compensation.

Let outsiders know: the Pill Pagoda will not let injured disciples suffer a loss.

non——main——text——

I think many readers say that Gu Xun'er currently lacks the ability to command anyone, but that's not quite correct.

In the original, at the Ancient Clan's coming-of-age ceremony, many people said that a few years ago, so-and-so had a certain-grade bloodline, and now it might have increased by how much.

From this, it can be seen that the Ancient Clan's experts definitely know the bloodline level of the younger generation.

Therefore, for someone like Gu Xun'er with unlimited potential, if the protagonist were to annoy her, according to common sense, there really would be Ancient Clan experts of Half-Saint or even Dou Saint level who would make a trip.

In that case, the protagonist might not even have time to summon the Ancient Dragon Clan.
