Chapter 103 Are You Threatening Me?
Chapter 103 Are You Threatening Me?
A secret war is quietly going on...
At this moment, many people in black suddenly appeared at the edge of the Monster Forest. As soon as these people appeared at the edge of the Monster Forest, they immediately disappeared into the darkness without leaving any trace...
At this time, Huatian was sitting alone in the hall. In front of him was the fluorescent screen that was always on. The screen was flickering with a bright light, and on it was the ever-changing situation in the monster forest.
The sudden appearance of three assassins in the Monster Forest made Huatian realize the seriousness of the matter. Was there something wrong with the spirit pool? Or was it because the world had been peaceful for too long, and it was time for a storm to wash away the filth hidden under the dust?
Now, the storm is finally coming.
At this time, the voice of the great elder came from outside.
"come in!"
Huatian’s faint voice.
The Great Elder walked in, his face looking extremely serious.
"According to the news, Tianxi has taken action. They sent out disciples of the ninth level of Wanghou. There is no news from the Altar yet. It seems like they are just sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between the two tigers."
"Since they are here, let them come. As long as they are not beyond the range of the king, we will not take action. If they are beyond that range, we will kill them all!"
Although there was no anger on Huatian's face, one could clearly imagine the anger in his heart from his words.
The Three Holy Lands are the Holy Land of Lingchi, the Holy Land of Tianxi, and the Holy Land of Shentan.
The three holy places have existed for more than ten thousand years, and the ancestor of the three holy places was originally the third senior brother. The original intention of the third senior brother to establish the three holy places was to allow the disciples of the three holy places to learn from each other, and strictly prohibit the disciples of the three holy places from killing each other.
Back then, the three holy places coexisted peacefully and continued to grow. In less than 500 years, they reached their heyday. At that time, there was an unwritten rule in the entire Sui Dynasty, that is, no matter what happened in the three holy places, the disciples of the three holy places were not allowed to kill each other.
Later, with the departure of the three ancestors, the relationship between the three saints began to change. However, no matter how it changed, there has always been an unwritten rule that matters between disciples should be resolved among disciples. However, it must be within the prescribed level. If it exceeds a certain level, or if people above intervene, it is tantamount to provoking a dispute in disguise.
Therefore, if Tianxi did not send out people above the king level to take action, then Huatian could only watch. If his men were really defeated or died, there was nothing he could do. Who told you that you can't beat others? If you can't beat others, no matter how powerful you are, it's because of your own incompetence.
"Should we notify Lin Fei so that he can prepare?"
The Great Elder glanced at Huatian, then looked into the distance, turned around and said.
"No need. This way, we can see how strong his real ability is! Of course, if necessary, we can still send someone to look after him, but we can't let him know who is helping him."
The Great Elder nodded and said.
"There is another thing. The sons of the two leaders of the Apocalypse Sect and the Underworld Sect died in the Heavenly Wolf Valley and the Monster Forest respectively. It is said that this matter is related to him."
"Ah, he is really a troublemaker. Do you know why?"
"I heard that those two were killed because they were trying to target the people from the Three Sword Sect..."
"Kill him if you want. If you find people from the Apocalypse Sect and the Dark Sect taking action, don't interfere too much. This is also an opportunity for him to exercise. It's better for him to solve some things by himself, because there will be more and more such things in the future."
When Huatian reached this point, a stern look appeared on his face. He paused and continued.
"However, we must keep abreast of the sects' affairs and, if necessary, give them a warning. Otherwise, they will not know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is..."
"Okay, there is one more thing, but I don't know if I should mention it or not!"
"Say it!"
"Some people say Lin Fei is also an alchemist!"
"What? He is an alchemist, why has no one mentioned this before?!"
Hearing that Lin Fei was an alchemist, Huatian suddenly showed a smile on his face.
"This kid is getting more and more interesting!"
After saying that, he thought for a moment and said again.
"Who else knows about this?"
"It's just you and me for now."
"This matter must be kept secret. Tell them, especially the person who reported the news, to keep it secret."
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
The Great Elder said this and stepped back.
Huatian couldn't help laughing when he saw the Great Elder disappear out the door.
"I hope this kid won't let me down!"
……
The seventh day passed quickly, and Lin Fei and his four companions appeared at the exit. At this time, the three elders were still waiting for them at the exit.
After everyone came out, they followed the three elders back to Lingchi’s Mission Hall, which was where Lingchi issued missions.
With the arrival of Lin Fei and his party, the disciples in the mission hall had already made preparations for acceptance.
This time, the spirit pool prepared three channels, with three disciples in each channel to receive the monsters, and each group had an elder to maintain order.
All the disciples who entered the Monster Forest lined up to hand in the monsters they captured, which were then recorded. The recorded data were then submitted to the elders in the Mission Hall, who then awarded points to each disciple based on the number and level of monsters captured.
In the Spirit Pool, points are the only soft currency in circulation besides spirit stones. Disciples can use their points to exchange for skills, spiritual medicines, elixirs, etc. in the holy land. In short, as long as the Spirit Pool has it, as long as you have enough points, you can exchange it for anything.
Start surrendering monsters.
An elder announced that the captured monsters would be collected.
The first disciple to hand in his skills was from an unknown country. Lin Fei saw that this disciple was about fifteen years old, with a fifth-level cultivation level. He was also a very talented disciple. Judging from the appearance of this disciple, he should have a good harvest, because he was always standing in front and had a very proud smile on his face.
"Brother in front, please hand over the monster you hunted."
An outer disciple who was in charge of recording the number of monsters shouted.
Hearing the shout, the disciple quickly opened his storage ring and took out the monster he had hunted.
"Please have a look, three brothers."
The three outer disciples began to count the number of monsters killed by this disciple. After the final statistics, the number of monsters hunted by this disciple was as follows.
There are fifty-six demon beasts from the third to the seventh level of spiritual phase, twenty-two demon beasts from the eighth level to the first level of king and noble, and eighteen demon beasts above the second level of king and noble, for a total of ninety-six.
"Ninety-six! I never thought someone could have killed so many monsters! It's amazing!"
"Yes, yes, how did he do it..."
"Ninety-six plus?"
Some people disagree.
"You said not much, so how much do you have?"
That person naturally refused to give in.
“I don’t have it, but that doesn’t mean others don’t have it.”
"I thought..."
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, and look at what's going on!"
……
The people in front did not stop handing over the monsters because of the discussion of the crowd. Instead, they handed the monsters to the three outer disciples one by one in order.
However, the number counted has not yet exceeded ninety-six.
Soon they arrived in front of Lin Fei and his four companions. Among the five, Jian Kun was the first to hand over the monster.
Jian Kun opened the first storage bag and dumped the monster onto the ground.
When everyone thought that there was nothing left, Jian Kun took out a second storage bag.
Two storage bags full of monster meat were piled between Jian Kun and the three outer disciples, like a mountain of monster meat.
"Wow! Why are there so many?"
Someone exclaimed.
"Look, a fifth-level king wolf was able to hunt down such a monster. How amazing!"
"Which country is this from? It's so powerful."
The three outer disciples also treated Jian Kun differently.
When the elder saw Jian Kun’s monster that was as big as a mountain, he couldn’t help but nodded.
……
Soon, the results came out. Jian Kun hunted seventy-four monsters from the third to the seventh level of spiritual phase, thirty-six from the eighth level to the first level of king, eighteen from the second to the fourth level of king, and three above the fifth level of king and marquis. Finally, Jian Kun hunted a total of one hundred and twenty-one monsters.
"Oh my god!"
Hearing this number, someone immediately shouted,
Many people were so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut for a while.
One hundred and twenty-one. You have to know that the man only has ninety-six!
At this moment, the man's face was full of jealousy.
"Elder, there must be something wrong here. With his cultivation level, how could he hunt so many monsters in seven days?"
Finally, the man couldn't bear it anymore.
"Yeah, how can one person hunt so many monsters?"
After hearing what the man said, some people began to agree.
……
The elder in charge of maintaining order came over immediately after hearing the shouting.
"You, what's your name?"
"Report to the elder, my name is Tieliu."
"Iron Stream!"
The elder paused and continued.
"Who are you to Neimen Tiejie?"
"Tiejie is my brother"
"So that's the case"
The elder seemed to be thinking about something, then walked over to Jian Kun.
"Some people say there's something wrong with your monster. What do you say?"
Lin Fei was standing third behind Jian Kun at this time. He saw clearly everything this elder did, but he said nothing. He wanted to see how this elder would deal with the matter.
"What's wrong with my monsters? If you say there's a problem just because someone else has more monsters, then, may I ask Elder, how many do I need to have no problem?"
"How dare you! If I say there's something wrong with your monster, then there's something wrong with it. Do you need a reason?"
Hearing someone's rebuttal, the elders immediately flew into a rage. Usually, these elders were firm in their words and would not tolerate any rebuttal from their disciples.
"Interesting!" Lin Fei smiled playfully, motioned Jian Kun to step back, and walked out himself.
"Elder, you said there was something wrong with his monster, then what about mine!"
As he spoke, Lin Fei opened his storage ring, and instantly, a monster the size of a small mountain appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow! So many!"
"There must be at least 200 of them. That's amazing!"
……
When everyone saw Lin Fei pouring out so many monsters at once, they were stunned.
At this time, the elder was also confused and in a dilemma.
Tie Liu's elder brother is Tie Jie, one of the four great evil geniuses in the inner sect. Such a person will surely soar to great heights one day, and as an outer sect elder, he will definitely try to curry favor with him.
And now, are there really problems with the monsters of these two people? He knows in his heart that there is definitely no problem. Originally, if only one person could suppress it, it would be enough. Now two people suddenly appear, and each one is more numerous than the other, which makes it difficult to deal with.
However, he quickly calmed down and made a surprising decision.
"You three, confiscate the monsters of these two people, and then hand them over to the Discipline Hall for punishment. Let's see who dares to disrespect the elders like this!"
After the elder finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
"You want to leave without even explaining your reasons?"
Lin Fei still had a playful smile on his face as he looked at the elder.
"Boy, what do you mean? Do I have to act according to your mood?"
The elder glared at Lin Fei, looking like he wanted to scare him.
Lin Fei was not easily frightened. Instead of retreating, he walked up to the elder and spoke.
"Elder, I don't know why you treat us like this, but now, you must count the number of us two. No one can be left behind, otherwise..."
"What else can you do? How dare you scare me!" At this moment, the elder was about to lose his temper.
"Come here, drive these two evil beasts out. From today on, they are not allowed to enter the spirit pond."
Hearing the elder's shout, four disciples came over. They were all of the seventh level of king and marquis cultivation. They should be disciples of the Lingchi Discipline Hall. The four of them walked towards Lin Fei and the others.
"Everyone, please be patient!" After saying that, Lin Fei glanced at the four disciples, then looked at everyone behind him.
"Please bear witness to my name, Lin Fei. Today I came here only to prove that the monsters that my brothers and I hunted were innocent. However, I was suppressed by this elder for some reason. So, now, please bear witness to my name. If anything unpleasant happens, all the blame will be borne by this elder and it has nothing to do with the two of us!"
After saying that, Lin Fei looked at the elder again.
"Elder, I have finished what I have to say. If you have no objection, please order the two of us to clear out and count our monsters. This will be like nothing happened. Otherwise..."
Threat, naked threat!
As an elder of a holy land, he had never been threatened like this before, especially by a new disciple. If he compromised at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Who would listen to him in the future?
However, if this matter continues, it will definitely alarm the higher-ups, and if the investigation finds that the problem is not with the other party, then he will also be punished.
However, when the elder thought about the fact that he would most likely have to rely on the evildoers in the inner sect in the future, he felt that a little punishment was nothing and was better than losing face in front of a disciple.
Thinking of this, the elder said to the disciples who were about to drive Lin Fei and the other two out.
"Why, you four can't even understand what I'm saying? Why don't you quickly drive these two evil beasts out!"
After saying that, he walked towards the back without looking back.
"Yes, Elder Qiu!"
Just as the four were about to step forward again, suddenly, Lin Fei disappeared from everyone's sight, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the man called Elder Qiu.
Elder Qiu was walking backstage, and he certainly didn't expect that someone would attack him in his territory outside the Spirit Pool. However, as soon as he felt the wind coming from behind, he immediately wanted to turn around.
But it's still a little slow.
A knife was already at his neck.
Feeling the chill on his neck, Elder Qiu's eyes widened.
"Evil boy, what are you doing? This is the Spirit Pond. You are threatening the elders with a knife and you are guilty of a capital crime. Today, if you dare to touch a hair of mine, I will slap you to death!"
"Hehe, Elder, I don't mean anything else. As long as you ask them to count our monsters one by one in front of everyone, we will be even. How about that?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"If Elder Qiu can handle this impartially..."
