Chapter 640: Gu Xun'er's Regret

Since the Grand Elder is currently in closed-door cultivation, then we will follow the old rule, conduct a vote, and finally the minority will submit to the majority.

That old man hadn't finished speaking when footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

Upon hearing those footsteps, everyone's brows furrowed slightly.

Immediately after, the footsteps grew closer and closer.

Finally, they came to a slow stop at the doorway.

"Lin Feng has arrived; should we let him in?"

After the footsteps faded, a voice immediately came from the doorway.

Hearing that, the old man looked around, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

Seeing no one speak, he then said, "Bring him over; we also happen to see what attitude he has."

"Good."

The person outside responded softly, and the footsteps sounded again.

However, unlike before, this time the footsteps gradually faded away.

"Boom—"

After a moment, with the sound of the door opening slightly.

An elder brought a young man in his mid-twenties, walking slowly inside.

After the young man entered the hall, everyone's gaze followed and landed on him.

And when Gu Xun'er saw that young man, a strong doubt instantly appeared on her face.

She felt that she had seen him somewhere before.

"Is it him?!"

Not long after, she finally found some memories of that young man deep in her mind.

"Isn't he just a servant from Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire? Why would he appear in the Pill Tower?"

"Clearly, at fifteen years old, he had just stepped into the Fighter realm, with no Dou Emperor bloodline, so why did he advance so quickly, reaching his current level in about ten years?"

After recognizing Lin Feng, countless doubts surged up from Gu Xun'er's mind.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

This man named Lin Feng, clearly ten years ago, Brother Xiao Yan could bully him at will.

Pinching and shaping him was nothing more than a word from them.

Even back then, Brother Xiao Yan snatched the fortunate discovery of a Mysterious Tier combat skill by Lin Feng, and the latter didn't dare say a word against it.

Yet in just a short ten years, the situation has completely reversed, and he has bullied her Brother Xiao Yan to this extent.

"Damn, if only I had known back then, I should have had Elder Ling eliminate him while he was weak!"

Thinking of this, with her emotions agitated, Gu Xun'er's eyes suddenly turned a urging gold.

Within them, a flash of intense killing intent flickered, and her heart was filled with extreme regret.

Back then, she saw that his talent wasn't particularly outstanding, and he also lacked any background.

Therefore, she never took him to heart at all.

Instead, she was pleased that her Brother Xiao Yan went out for a stroll and managed to pick up a Mysterious Tier combat skill.

But she never expected that the boy she looked down upon back then could actually reach this point today.

She had long since learned exactly what his strength was: a half-step Dou Zun in both qi and soul realms.

Such strength is nearly on par with her, who is acclaimed as possibly having the most perfect bloodline among the ancient clan in nearly a thousand years.

After all, she herself had only recently broken through to the Dou Zun realm.

However, considering she is not an alchemist, she does not need to study alchemy.

Excluding background, in overall strength, she might not even be able to surpass him.

"No way; given Lin Feng's talent, now that he's on bad terms with Brother Xiao Yan, if we don't eliminate him, he will surely become a major future threat. Once this matter is settled, I need to have a good talk with Brother Xiao Yan and tell him to get rid of this person as soon as possible!"

Thinking of his achievements, Gu Xun'er narrowed her eyes and muttered darkly.

As for Lin Feng, the moment he entered, he also felt many gazes unabashedly falling upon him.

Among those gazes, the look of a young woman in the corner was especially fierce.

It seemed she wanted to kill him on the spot.

And when Lin Feng turned his head to look over, he quickly recognized her.

That woman was none other than Gu Xun'er.

Over the past nearly ten years, she has become much more mature.

But because of the scene where he was forced to hand over his sucking palm back then, his memory of it remains deep.

Thus, he recognized her instantly.

"Looks like I need to be careful; seeing that crazy woman's demeanor, she surely doesn't intend to let me off, the one who made Brother Xiao Yan suffer a great loss. I should think of a way to give her something to do."

Thinking of Gu Xun'er's earlier eyes full of killing intent, Lin Feng silently warned himself.

"Bang!"

However, just as Lin Feng finished that thought, an arm suddenly slammed heavily onto the table.

Immediately after, the black-robed figure stood up, eyes sharp, and said: "Bold Lin Feng, you actually robbed fellow disciples of their property, causing extremely bad influence, damaging the reputation of our Pill Tower, and yet you refuse to admit guilt!"

However, before his words had finished, without waiting for Lin Feng to answer, an elder stood up and shouted: "I'll fuck your mother, acting wild here—do you really think this is your outer Pill Tower?!"

"Exactly, so savage—no wonder he was rejected by Yao Chen and lost to Han Shan Shan."

"."

Earlier, everyone had already been worked up into anger; now, seeing Lin Feng arrive, the black-robed figure directly wanted to press his head down to force a confession.

Those hardliners couldn't stand it any longer, immediately standing up and shouting.

After all, their strength is not weak at all, and is even stronger than the three giants.

After angering them, the former party naturally gave Xuan Yi no face at all.

"Bastard, you are an elder of the Xiao Dan Tower Elder Council, speaking so vulgarly— is that proper?"

Upon hearing this again and being dragged into that woman's affair, Xuan Yi instantly felt her defenses crumble a bit.

As for Lin Feng, he stood off to the side with a weak, timid appearance.

His gaze swept quickly across the scene, analyzing who were his friends and who were his enemies.

Of course, for the three giants, he certainly didn't need to analyze them.

What he cared about was the attitude of the remaining elders of the Elder Council.

This time, he made Xiao Yan's sneak attack on him known to everyone.

He also wanted to see, within the Dan Tower, exactly who were Yao Chen's close allies and who were his enemies.

And the enemy's enemy is naturally his friend.

Of course, for those friends of Yao Chen, once he knows them, he will certainly pay extra attention, lest they cause trouble at a critical moment.

As for the fence-sitters, they can be ignored for now.

After all, they tend to stand wherever the stronger side is.

"Shut up, if you keep arguing, I'll send you outside to argue until you've had enough!"

Seeing both sides' forces erupt in argument again, the old man who had previously spoken to let Lin Feng in roared angrily once more.

And after the former spoke, the crowd seemed likewise unwilling to refute.

They thus grudgingly stopped the argument, and then one by one walked back to their seats and sat down.

However, after sitting down, both sides continued to stare at each other with extreme displeasure, as if they wanted to devour the other.
