Chapter 684 Why Are You Not Talking?_1

"That’s... also good,"

Teng pondered for a moment, then nodded, "But master, you still need to be careful. Those guys, none of them are easy to deal with; they’re all eyeing the position of the Hall Master. If possible, please don’t reveal your identity for now."

"Alright, I understand."

Yin Tian nodded and then walked toward the staircase.

Yin Tian ascended the stairs and went directly to the second floor.

On the second floor, nineteen chairs were arranged in a circle.

People were already seated in eighteen of the chairs, leaving only one chair empty.

At the same time, that chair was the largest one, signifying that whoever sat there held an extraordinary status.

As soon as Yin Tian reached the second floor, the sound of conversation carried over.

"Liu, I heard your son offended our master and was then flayed and dismembered? Is that true?"

A bearded man asked with a smile as he looked at Liu Pengcheng.

"Hmph!"

Liu Pengcheng let out a cold snort, refusing to answer the question.

"Liu, aside from number two, you seem to be the only one who has seen the master. What kind of person is the master?"

"Two eyes, one nose, two ears, one mouth."

Liu Pengcheng replied expressionlessly.

He really didn’t want to recall the events of the day.

"Look at how you’re all fawning, calling him ’master’ with every breath,"

Someone sneered contemptuously, "That woman directly passed the position of Hall Master to someone we’ve never even seen. I’m curious; even if she wanted to step down, she should have passed the position to us, not to an outsider. What’s the meaning of this?"

"Exactly, Shadow Hall is full of talented people. Any one of the eighteen Sub-hall Masters could sit in the master’s position. Yet she gave it to an outsider, which is laughable."

"Enough, what’s the use of talking about this? Let’s wait until we meet the master before we say more."

"Hmph! You might recognize him as the master, but I don’t!"

The bearded man scoffed directly, "When I see that kid today, if he’s not worthy of sitting there, I’ll personally kill him!"

"And then the master’s seat will be up for grabs, and we’ll compete with our methods."

"Well said."

Just then, someone’s ears twitched, and he turned his head towards the stairs, "Who’s that?"

Yin Tian smiled slightly.

His movement skills were naturally exceptional, yet even so, someone still caught the sound of his footsteps.

All eyes turned towards him, and then they saw Yin Tian.

"Don’t be nervous."

Yin Tian said with a smile, "I’m here for the meeting."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the room, and he immediately noticed the only vacant chair.

Without any hesitation, Yin Tian walked over and sat down in it.

For a moment, the whole place fell silent.

Everyone looked somewhat stupefied at Yin Tian.

"You! You dare to sit there!"

"Whose child are you to dare to sit there!"

"It’s you!"

The last to speak, of course, was Duan Taiyi.

Duan Taiyi stood behind a middle-aged, clean-shaven man.

This place was filled with Sub-hall Masters, and even if he was the son of a Sub-hall Master, he had no right to sit in this setting.

"Taiyi, do you know him?"

The middle-aged man asked his son.

"Reporting to father, the person I mentioned earlier is this man,"

Duan Taiyi replied respectfully, "Downstairs, Teng Zibin took his side, and I suspected that he might be the son of some Hall Master Uncle. Now it seems that it may not be the case."

"Teng Zibin?"

The bearded man let out a snort of derision, "Even if Teng Zibin himself came, he wouldn’t deserve to sit there. And yet this milk-nosed child dares to be so impolite!"

"Stand up!"

Duan Taiyi’s father sneered as well.

"Such a young age, and so disrespectful!"

"Ignorant fool!"

"Who let him up here?"

Voices rose from the crowd.

Liu Pengcheng, after an initial stun, revealed a strange smile on his face.

These people didn’t recognize Yin Tian’s identity, but he did!

However, Liu Pengcheng had no intention of speaking up to remind them; instead, he simply sat and watched.

He couldn’t wait for all these people to offend Yin Tian thoroughly.

No matter how things unfolded, it would be all to his benefit!

"Gentlemen, why so agitated?"

Yin Tian shrugged, still firmly seated, "It’s just a seat, after all."

"Just a seat? That’s the seat of the Lord of the Shadow Hall. Do you think you’re worthy to sit there?"

"Do you prefer to leave on your own, or should I break your legs and throw you out?"

"You think that having a connection with Teng Zibin is enough to scare us? Kid, aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself?"

The crowd continued to voice their rebukes, as if they would pounce on Yin Tian and tear him apart the next second.

Meanwhile, Liu Pengcheng sneered inwardly.

He couldn’t wait for the fight to begin.

The best outcome would be for both sides to perish together!

Yin Tian noticed the ever-silent Liu Pengcheng and flashed him a grin.

"Hall Master Liu, why so silent?"
