Lin Feng, you are the victim, what do you think?

After the scene fell silent, that old man immediately looked toward Lin Feng, his voice slowly spreading within the great hall.

I am merely an ordinary junior disciple; even if I wanted to decide how to handle Xiao Yan, speaking would be useless as no one would listen.

Lin Feng waved his hand and spoke again: "However, if the Elders have decided, I can accept it."

Upon hearing his words, that old man fell silent for a moment.

Immediately after, he swept his gaze across the venue.

But just as he was about to speak, a voice interrupted him.

You can accept it? You also stole Xiao Yan's belongings; if so, then expel both you and him from the Dan Tower forever, barred from entering the Holy Dan City—how about that?

Upon hearing his words, Xuan Yi immediately sneered.

In that case, she wanted to see how he dared to watch Xiao Yan be severely punished.

Hearing that, everyone else furrowed their brows slightly.

Xuan Yi's remark aimed to bind Lin Feng and Xiao Yan together, so Lin Feng wouldn't dare to speak out for harsh punishment of Xiao Yan.

Lin Feng surely guessed the malicious intent behind those words.

However, he calmly replied: "As long as it is the Elders' decision, I will naturally accept it; otherwise, following President Xuan Yi's suggestion, expel both me and Xiao Yan from the Dan Tower forever, barred from the Holy Dan City. If anyone dares to enter, upon discovery they shall be executed, and no one may take revenge!"

You

His reply left the three leaders and Gu Xun'er bewildered.

Before coming here, they had already agreed to strongly condemn Lin Feng for stealing Xiao Yan's teacher's relic at the meeting.

Then they would equate the two's offenses, making Lin Feng wary of his own interests and unwilling to cause trouble over this matter.

According to normal procedure, he shouldn't be afraid of being expelled from the Dan Tower and barred from entering the Holy Dan City, should he?

Yet now he readily agrees and even utters such words.

Even the other Elders were stunned for a moment before recovering.

When Xuan Yi said that, they thought Lin Feng would back down.

Yet they didn't expect Lin Feng to say such a thing.

President Xuan Yi, what's wrong? Even though we juniors have agreed to your proposal, why do you still wear that expression?

Seeing everyone remain silent, Lin Feng stepped forward and looked at Xuan Yi.

Although his tactic is not bad, unfortunately he is a transmigrator who has read the original story.

Therefore, he naturally knows how intensely Xiao Yan covets the strange fire.

By doing this, the three leaders and Gu Xun'er would never dare to agree.

Of course, even if they agreed, he could temporarily abandon his plan during this period and focus entirely on cultivating his wife.

Then, having his wife obtain the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire would make no difference.

You!

At this moment, Xuan Yi could not possibly accept his proposal.

She knows Xiao Yan greatly desires that Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire.

If she truly accepted Lin Feng's proposal, wouldn't it mean Xiao Yan couldn't even set foot in the Holy Dan City when the Dan Assembly begins?

If Xiao Yan then walks in openly, wouldn't that truly rub the Dan Tower's face in the dirt?

Thinking of this, Xuan Yi felt furious, her teeth itching; this bastard, how could she back down?

I am originally just an outsider, not convenient to speak, but this punishment is indeed rather heavy.

Seeing the situation, Gu Xun'er timely said: "How about this, Lin Feng? Return what you took from Xiao Yan elder brother as compensation; I will have Xiao Yan elder brother give you a prescription of eighth-grade or higher five-colors. Anyway, you suffered no injury in that attack, so this compensation is sufficient."

Miss Xun'er's words also make sense. Lin Feng, I think we should just do that; we are all from the same sect, no need to make things so stiff.

Seeing Gu Xun'er speak, Xuanzu Zi also followed with a light laugh.

If that's the case, then next time I will exert all my strength, gather strong ones to slay Xiao Yan; if I succeed, I will take everything. If I fail, I will abide by this compensation, and Xiao Yan shall not take anything else from me—how about that?

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng immediately replied calmly.

You dare!

Upon hearing his words, Gu Xun'er instantly rose like an enraged lioness and shouted angrily.

Seeing his furious appearance, Lin Feng burst out laughing coldly: "How come when Xiao Yan does that you think it's fine, but when I attack him you forbid it—are you playing double standards?"

We are all fellow sect brothers and sisters; you causing such a ruckus makes everyone unhappy—what's the point?

Upon hearing that, Lei Tianzi frowned.

Since President Lei Tianzi knows this will make everyone unhappy, why not ask the true instigator, Xiao Yan, who caused such a ruckus, making the Dan Tower lose face, and we are all unhappy—what's the point?

Lin Feng knew reconciliation with the three leaders was impossible, so he gave no regard to their face and directly replied.

Then what exactly do you want?

Seeing his unresponsiveness, Xuan Yi's suppressed anger surged up again.

What do you mean by what I want? I'd rather ask why the three presidents don't deal with the real culprit, but keep giving me, a victim, a hard time—what do you want?

Having been provoked repeatedly by those people, Lin Feng's inner fire was not small, and his tone grew increasingly sharp.

And those other Elders, seeing Lin Feng dare to retort the three leaders like that, couldn't help but feel astonished.

However, regarding his words, most of those Elders actually felt considerable agreement.

If so, let's follow the old custom and vote on this matter.

That old man pondered, then said.

Elders, please wait a moment.

At this moment, Gu Xun'er suddenly spoke.

Miss Xun'er, what do you have to say?

Seeing the former speak, the old man furrowed his brows slightly.

Letting her attend this meeting was already a great concession.

And as an outsider, she repeatedly meddled in their Pill Tower affairs.

But considering the former's identity, he still calmly asked the former.

"Elders, initially our ancient clan had an agreement with Xiao Yan's seniors to do our utmost to protect them. If something happens to Xiao Yan, how can our ancient clan face his seniors in the afterlife?"

Seeing the situation unfavorable to Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er immediately brought up the agreement between the ancient and Xiao clans.

After all, she knew that most of the Elders in the Grand Elder Council disliked Xiao Yan's actions.

If it came to a vote, their side would have an extremely high chance of losing.

Therefore, she came forward to stop it.
