Chapter 446

Bahuang City.

As soon as Ye Feiran's words were spoken, the martial artists in the city below were in an uproar.

Many people knew about the Yama Hall assassin's attempt on the life of the Canglan Sect disciple Lin Chen, because the Canglan Sect had issued a bounty across the entire Yan Imperial Court.

Because the Bahuang Sect was hostile to the Canglan Sect, the Canglan Sect's bounty had not been widely disseminated in the Bahuang Region, but many martial artists in Bahuang City who had come from other regions were still aware of the matter.

It was just that they had not expected the employer behind this Yama Hall to be the Bahuang Sect.

However, upon second thought, it was indeed true that only the Bahuang Sect had the motive to hire Yama Hall to assassinate Lin Chen, and only if the Bahuang Sect was the mastermind would Yama Hall dare to take this job.

But what was the situation with the Blood Moon Sect?

The Bahuang Sect and the Blood Moon Sect were jointly assassinating Lin Chen?

"Ye Feiran, you say this... do you have evidence?"

Song Jin's old eyes carried a cold glint; he did not believe Ye Feiran could find evidence.

The Bahuang Sect and the Canglan Sect were hostile, so killing each other's disciples was nothing, but involving Yama Hall and the Blood Moon Sect, and targeting a junior of the Canglan Sect at that—if this matter spread, it would affect the reputation of the Bahuang Sect.

In the eyes of outsiders, this would look like the Bahuang Sect felt their own young disciples were no match for Lin Chen, and believed that once Lin Chen grew up, he would become a major threat to the Bahuang Sect, which was why they were using such unscrupulous means to stifle him.

This was indeed the case, but without evidence, even if there were those discussing it, it would only be in private. Now that Ye Feiran had brought it out into the open, it would be discussed openly by martial artists from all regions.

"This old man does not need evidence."

Ye Feiran's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Song Jin: "I came here simply to tell you Bahuang Sect members that if Lin Chen is assassinated, this old man will come to the Bahuang Region again, and I will slaughter every single one of your Bahuang Sect's young disciples."

"You dare!"

Song Jin's face changed drastically, and he released his pressure. Two strands of Myriad Phenomena pressure collided in the void, and the clouds in the firmament seemed to be sliced apart, creating a chasm.

"Do you want to see if this old man dares?"

Lin Chen, standing behind his Grand Elder, finally understood at this moment what the purpose of the Grand Elder bringing him to the Bahuang Sect was!

To establish prestige and draw a bottom line!

The Grand Elder had come in person to tell the Bahuang Sect that if they dared to assassinate him again, the Bahuang Sect's younger generation of disciples would cease to exist.

He did not yet fully understand how strong the strength of the Myriad Phenomena Realm was, but he believed that since the Grand Elder dared to say these words in front of so many martial artists in Bahuang City below, he must have the confidence to back it up.

Song Jin narrowed his old eyes slightly. One reason why Myriad Phenomena Realm martial artists did not easily move during the battles between the two sects was that it was too difficult for a Myriad Phenomena Realm powerhouse to be killed.

Unless one side fought to the death without retreating, it was impossible to stop a Myriad Phenomena Realm powerhouse from leaving unless a net had been cast in advance.

Once Ye Feiran truly disregarded everything to come to the Bahuang Region to slaughter their Bahuang Sect's young disciples, unless these disciples stayed inside the sect and never went out—and even then, it would not be enough. Many disciples in the Bahuang Region were geniuses in the major dynasties of the Bahuang Region before they entered the sect. If Ye Feiran took action against these geniuses, it would be equivalent to causing the Bahuang Sect to suffer a generational gap.

The result would be that their Bahuang Sect's few Myriad Phenomena Realm powerhouses would also slaughter their way into the Canglan Region to kill the Canglan Sect's disciples; this was a result that neither side could accept.

Do not look at the fact that the two sects were still at war; both sides had not yet shaken their foundations. What was being deployed were mostly martial artists from the affiliated dynasties and subordinate sects in the regions, and the main sect only sent out some deacons and outer disciples. The disciples with true potential had not yet gone to the battlefield.

"Lin Chen, let's go."

Ye Feiran did not wait for Song Jin to reply and turned directly to leave with Lin Chen.

The blue cloud headed toward the distance. Song Jin did not stop them on the spot; he only lowered his head to look at Bahuang City below, and the next moment, his figure also disappeared from the sight of the crowd.

"Senior Brother, if you and I had joined forces just now, we would have had a chance to keep this Ye Feiran. The junior brought by Ye Feiran should be that Lin Chen. With that Lin Chen there, even if Ye Feiran wanted to leave, he would have been heavily injured."

Deep in the mountain range outside Bahuang City, another aged voice came.

"Ye Feiran has been a notoriously cunning person since his youth. How could he not have prepared if he dared to bring Lin Chen here?"

Song Jin shook his head and then continued: "Even if Ye Feiran was just playing a game of feints to make us wary, now is not the time for a Myriad Phenomena Realm battle to break out. The plan cannot be disrupted. Isn't Ye Feiran's arrival the very result of our plan's success?"

"Junior Brother understands now. Ye Feiran probably never imagined that the reason we went to such great lengths to assassinate Lin Chen was precisely to make them misjudge the situation."

A trace of contempt appeared in Song Jin's old eyes: "He is just a little fellow at the second stage of the Innate Realm. Even if we gave him another ten or twenty years, how far could he possibly grow?"
