Chapter 179

~8 min read 1,474 words

"Patriarch Lin, put us down..."

Zhao Xiu said excitedly; he wanted to break free from Lin Feng, but he was never able to succeed.

Lin Feng's cultivation was far superior to his, so naturally, he was helpless.

On Yunyin Peak, a magnificent hall was shining with golden light, and there were many Yunxiao Sect disciples around, who were maintaining order.

Outside the hall, dozens of tables were set up for the various forces of the six western provinces to be seated.

Inside the hall, there were only five seats.

They were the Haoran Sect of Chihuo Province, the Yunxiao Sect of Changfeng Prefecture, Hugu Valley of Tian Yun Zhou, the Wangui Sect of Jinshan Prefecture, and the Xuan Sect of Yuchang Prefecture.

These five seats represented the strongest forces of the five provinces, and they were also the ones who would primarily divide the thirteen Lingxiao Treasure Lands.

At this time, the five major forces had each sent a Great Elder, and as the host, Zhou Bai was naturally responsible for receiving them personally.

"Eh? Why is there one seat missing?"

At this time, Great Elder Shan Yifei of Hugu Valley in Tian Yun Zhou asked strangely; his words aroused the curiosity of the others.

Everyone's gaze fell on Great Elder Zhou Bai of the Yunxiao Sect.

In this Heavenly Pride Grand Meeting, the Lin Family of Leiling Prefecture had won a top ten seat, and according to the rules, the Lin Family had the right to share the Lingxiao Treasure Lands; how the thirteen Lingxiao Treasure Lands in the west were to be divided was up to the Lin Family.

In principle, no one could interfere.

But this so-called principle was just: whoever has the bigger fist, has the final say!

At this very moment, Zhou Bai smiled faintly and said: "Elder Shan is unaware; our Yunxiao Sect has already sent an invitation to the Lin Family, but they actually tore up the invitation directly. Doesn't this mean they don't intend to come to attend the Allocation Assembly?"

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.

A fine Lin Family, not even coming to attend the Allocation Assembly?

Was this intending to give up the ownership of the Lingxiao Treasure Lands, or were they dissatisfied with the upcoming allocation?

For a time, everyone was discussing it, and many people began to speculate.

Great Elder Shan Yifei of Hugu Valley sneered repeatedly; he looked at Great Elder Ye Weilun of the Haoran Sect. This person had led the team to the Heavenly Pride Grand Meeting, and he was also the one who had witnessed with his own eyes the scene where the Lin Family won four top ten seats.

"Hmph! It's better if they don't come!"

"Originally, we didn't intend to give the Lin Family many benefits anyway. If they don't come, then the two Lingxiao Treasure Lands originally prepared for them will just be taken by my Haoran Sect."

Ye Weilun said with a contemptuous smile.

His words aroused the curiosity of the crowd.

At any rate, the Lin Family had won four top ten seats; was the Haoran Sect being so disrespectful?

"Elder Ye, wouldn't it be inappropriate to do this?" Great Elder Shi Jiankang of the Wangui Sect in Jinshan Prefecture frowned.

If the Haoran Sect had won the top ten, then no one would question how they allocated them, after all, the strength of the Haoran Sect was top-tier among the six western provinces.

But this time, it was the Lin Family that won the top ten seats; no matter what, they should give the Lin Family some face, right?

Elder Shan of Hugu Valley also frowned slightly.

He also didn't approve of Ye Weilun's words.

Ye Weilun sneered in his heart; he scanned the crowd—the only ones qualified to obtain the Lingxiao Treasure Lands were the forces here, plus the Xuan Sect that was on its way.

As long as they could squeeze the Lin Family out, it wouldn't be impossible for his Haoran Sect to take a small loss.

Thinking of this, Ye Weilun immediately said: "Everyone, since the Lin Family isn't coming, I have a suggestion. Why don't you listen to it?"

Everyone became interested and immediately listened attentively.

"The Haoran Sect, Hugu Valley, the Yunxiao Sect, and the Wangui Sect will each obtain three Lingxiao Treasure Lands, and the remaining one will be given to the Xuan Sect, which will perfectly allocate the thirteen Lingxiao Treasure Lands."

"Since the Lin Family isn't coming, naturally they won't have a share. What do you all think?"

Ye Weilun's proposal instantly caused the pupils of everyone present to constrict.

They never expected Ye Weilun to be so bold, and furthermore, he wanted to divide them equally, with the four major forces present all getting three Lingxiao Treasure Lands—this was much more than in the past!

In this way, who would dare to disagree with Ye Weilun's words?

"Hahaha! I knew Elder Ye was a man of great righteousness; my Hugu Valley supports you!" Shan Yifei said first; he held his wine glass and took a sip with great joy.

Great Elder Shi Jiankang of the Wangui Sect took a deep breath and also outlined a smile.

In the face of interests, everything else is illusory.

Even if the Lin Family won the top ten, so what?

If they can't get the Lingxiao Treasure Lands, everything is empty.

Everyone was drinking and toasting, looking very lively, but at this moment, Zhou Shan spoke up in a way that spoiled the mood: "Everyone, if we do this, I fear it will provoke a counterattack from the Lin Family!"

The three Great Elders all showed gloomy expressions upon hearing this.

"As far as I know, that Lin Family Patriarch has the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Dao Combination Realm." Zhou Shan continued, "When we went to deliver the invitation last time, the Lin Family was extremely arrogant; if they find out we divided up the Lingxiao Treasure Lands, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause."

"Slap!"

At this time, Ye Weilun slapped the table, stood up, and sneered: "They dare!"

"It's just the seventh layer of the Dao Combination Realm, what of it?" Shan Yifei also smiled contemptuously.

Shi Jiankang was even more disdainful: "Our five major sects have a total of five people at the seventh layer of the Dao Combination Realm, and the Supreme Sect Master of the Haoran Sect is even at the eighth layer of the Dao Combination Realm. Could it be that we are afraid of their Lin Family?"

With the words of the three elders, Zhou Shan knew the time was ripe.

He immediately proposed: "I won't hide it from you all, the Lin Family is arrogant and domineering, they don't put my Yunxiao Sect in their eyes, they detained my sect members and killed my disciples; my Yunxiao Sect has already planned to go and wipe out the Lin Family after this assembly ends."

"Are you all willing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a sharp light flashed in Ye Weilun's eyes.

"I heard that the Lin Family obtained many benefits in Leiling Prefecture; if we wipe out the Lin Family, we can occupy all of these." Shan Yifei said excitedly; he was very tempted.

"Good, then let's do it!" Shi Jiankang immediately made the decision.

The four of them looked at each other and smiled; the matter of wiping out the Lin Family was decided just like that.

"Eh? Why haven't the people from the Xuan Sect arrived yet?" Ye Weilun asked curiously, looking outside.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!

One could see a group of people flying up into the sky, coming directly above Yunyin Peak.

The astonishing auras pressed down so hard that the people present didn't even dare to breathe.

Seeing this, the Yunxiao Sect disciples braced against the terrifying pressure and walked forward.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous? Don't you know my Yunxiao Sect has a no-fly order? No one is allowed to fly on Yunyin Peak."

"Get down here immediately, or you will be killed!"

After the Yunxiao Sect disciples finished speaking, they saw the people in the air land on the ground.

The people who arrived were none other than Lin Feng and his group.

"Patriarch Lin, you have really caused us great trouble." Zhao Xiu said in panic.

The Xuan Sect was a bottom-tier existence among the six western provinces and couldn't afford to offend the Yunxiao Sect.

At this time, the Yunxiao Sect disciples walked forward and questioned coldly: "Daring to trespass on Yunyin Peak, do you have an invitation?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this is our invitation!"

Seeing Zhao Xiu immediately present his invitation, the Yunxiao Sect disciples looked slightly better.

But their gazes turned toward Lin Feng.
