Chapter 410: Counterattack
As soon as he spoke, all eyes in the central square turned towards him.
He walked to stand beside Luo Yuebai, and the expressions of the Seventh Elder and the other five people darkened.
Even though the Seventh Elder and the others already knew Su Jingzhen’s identity, they deliberately said in a cold voice: “Who are you? What right do you have to shout here?
Although we demon cultivators don’t care about minor details, we also have rules.
Do you have a say here?”
The Seventh Elder reprimanded without mercy, treating Su Jingzhen as an insignificant nobody.
However, Su Jingzhen still maintained his gentle smile in response to the Seventh Elder’ words.
There wasn’t a hint of anger.He chuckled and said, “My name is Su Jingzhen, Linjiang Branch Chief Acolyte, holding the authority of a deputy sect master.
I haven’t been to the main sect yet, so the Seventh Elder may not have met me.
But Su believes he also has the right to speak on this matter.”
Su Jingzhen was neither humble nor arrogant.
Even the smile on his face didn’t change.
And as a deputy sect master, he indeed had the right to speak in this situation.
Even the Seventh Elder couldn’t refute it.
He still said disdainfully, “You are Su Jingzhen?
Even if I admit you have the right to speak here, what right do you have to disagree?
Do you think that the authority of the Linjiang Branch deputy sect master can overturn the Elder Council’s decision?”
This time, Su Jingzhen honestly nodded: “I don’t have the right to negate the Elder Council’s decision.
But I believe I do have the right to decide about Xuening’s matter.
Because she is not a member of our Evil Moon Sect, she is just a guest invited by me.
I think the Elder Council shouldn’t have the right to force a free person of the Dantang family to do anything, right?”
As soon as Su Jingzhen said this, the expressions of the Seventh Elder and the others changed.
They had always known that Xuening was in the Linjiang Branch, and even the top powers in the entire Qingzhou region knew that Xuening had joined the Linjiang Branch.
But they had never heard Su Jingzhen say this before.
The Seventh Elder were about to retort, but he knew he couldn’t possibly admit Su Jingzhen’s statement.
But before he could speak, Luo Yuebai said again: “Chief Acolyte Su is not lying. Miss Xuening is indeed not a member of our Evil Moon Sect.
She is just a guest of our Linjiang Branch.”
At this, the Seventh Elder fell silent for a moment.
But then he smiled and said: “Since Miss Xuening can be a guest at the Linjiang Branch, she can naturally also be a guest at the main sect.
What Linjiang Branch can offer Miss Xuening, our main sect can naturally also offer.”
At this point, the Seventh Elder seemed determined to achieve their goal.
Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a mocking smile: “So this all comes back to the original point.
Miss Xuening is my guest, and I don’t want her to be a guest at the main sect, that’s all.”
Su Jingzhen knew very well that the Seventh Elder were deliberately here to make things difficult.
There was no need to beat around the bush.
Just say no directly.
The Seventh Elder’s face suddenly darkened.
Before he could say anything, Xuening, who had been standing on the edge, suddenly walked to Su Jingzhen’s side.
“Please forgive me, Seventh Elder, Xuening just wants to stay in the Linjiang Branch.”
Since Xuening herself had spoken, the Seventh Elder could no longer change matters regarding her.
Although the Evil Moon Sect was powerful, they didn’t dare to openly force the Dantang family’s descendants.
Even if the Dantang family had fallen.
Moreover, Xuening was Su Jingzhen’s friend.
“So, the Linjiang Branch is going to openly defy the main sect’s Elder Council decision?”
When it came to it, the Seventh Elder could only use the Elder Council’s decision to pressure them.
Shen Yifeng smiled and said: “In the case of a reasonable decision from the Elder Council, the Linjiang Branch will naturally follow it.
But for today’s request, if Xiong Wensheng really wants to insist, then come and ask my Killing Sword.”
As soon as the words fell, the killing intent on Shen Yifeng’s Killing Sword became even stronger.
The sword energy had already locked onto the Seventh Elder and the other five people.
Shen Yifeng had always been fearless when it came to fighting.
Hearing Shen Yifeng’s words, the Seventh Elder’ faces darkened completely.
They all knew Shen Yifeng’s extraordinary combat power.
It was impossible to fight him at this time.
“Very good, very good, so this is the attitude of your Linjiang Branch.
This time, I may not be able to take away any of your Linjiang Branch’s alchemists, but the Elder Council’s decision cannot be easily defied.”
The Seventh Elder Nascent Soul late-stage aura also rose.
The atmosphere in the field once again became tense.
He then glared fiercely at Su Jingzhen.
Then, he left with the four people behind him.
“They left just like that?
I thought we were going to have a big fight today.”
The Seventh Elder and the others left decisively, which surprised Su Jingzhen a little.
But he knew that this matter was far from over!
The Seventh Elder and the five left the Dan Hall and the Linjiang Branch sect directly, leaving in a very decisive manner.
No one in the Linjiang Branch dared to stop them.
“Third Grandpa, what’s going on here?”
It wasn’t until their figures completely disappeared from sight that Luo Yuebai walked up to Shen Yifeng and asked with a puzzled look.
Shen Yifeng sheathed his Killing Sword.
His expression was slightly heavy.
“The so-called Elder Council’s decision is just a fart, and taking away half of Linjiang Branch’s alchemists is just a pretense.
That Xiong Wensheng is probably just a pawn for the Second Elder, or rather, Zou Zeyu’s faction.
This kid killed the ‘yin’ under the Second Elder’s command, and the Second Elder would naturally be able to notice it easily.
This is their counterattack signal, and they are going to target us in a different way.”
After a pause, Shen Yifeng said again: “Just now, Xiong Wensheng was trying to probe our Linjiang Branch’s attitude.
Their next move will probably come soon.”
As he said this, Shen Yifeng’s tone was tinged with a hint of regret.
Then, he looked at Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai with a serious expression.
“Our Linjiang Branch is too weak compared to the main sect.
This time, Xiong Wensheng was afraid of my strength and didn’t dare to make too much trouble, but next time if he brings more and stronger people, with just me alone, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on.”
At this point, Shen Yifeng stopped.
He suddenly felt that what he wanted to say didn’t seem to make much sense.
He changed his words and said: “Anyway, you two should be more careful in your actions during this time.
Demonic Cultivators mostly act directly, but when they start to play tricks, they are extremely dangerous.
And this time, in the eyes of many people Yuebai’s competition with Zou Zeyu, is just a formality.
In fact, the next sect master candidate has already been decided in their hearts.
In their view, Yuebai is more suitable to be an assistant, and Yuebai probably already knows about this.
So although this competition seems like Zou Zeyu let Yuebai make the first move half a month earlier, from any angle, it is still unfair to Yuebai.”
As he said this, Shen Yifeng was both sentimental and serious.
