C79 Never Compromise
Nangong Ling did not hide anything as he revealed this thing. Immediately, the complexions of many sect elders changed. They all knew what kind of person Elder Bei was. Lin Feng was actually someone that Elder Bei thought highly of.
Not far behind Nangong Ling, the expression of an outer sect elder changed drastically. This person was Lu Yuan.
“Crap, no wonder Xue Yue went to the cave of stonewall to protect Lin Feng.” Lu Yuan’s expression was ugly. He never thought that Lin Feng’s background would be so deep that he was thought highly by Elder Bei. At this moment, he suddenly understood what Xue Yue said before he left — “You would definitely regret it.”
Lin Feng’s heart was also slightly moved. That day, he was swept away by the Illusory Devil Demonic Beast and didn’t know anything about what happened afterwards. He didn’t expect that Elder Bei would be so angry that he almost killed Mo Ye because of him. And he would never pay the kindness.
In the Cloud Sea Sect, if there were some people that Lin Feng was reluctant to part with, they would be his friends, Han Man, Jingyun, Elder Bei and the taciturn Old Man Kong. And he was a little reluctant to part with Liu Fei.
“Let’s not talk about Elder Bei for now. In short, Mo Ye is still an inner court elder and his position is far above us. This is the truth.”
“Besides, three days ago, Sect Master sent me to become an inner sect disciple. I went with the others to the cave of the stonewall to collect the inner disciple clothing and token. Wenren Yan, also a disciple of the sect, wanted to kill me. If he wants to kill me, I naturally will not blame the sect. I would not blame the sect either even if Elder Lu Yuan did not him as an outer sect elder.”
“However, as an elder of the Cloud Sea Sect, Lu Yuan did not stop them, and he even said that I deserved to die. It was only because my strength was weaker than Wenren Yan’s. Those who were weaker than Wenren Yan deserved to die? What kind of logic is that? I have asked for the inner disciple token and clothing twice, but Elder Lu Yuan only told me to go away.”
At this point, Lin Feng paused. Instantly, everyone understood why Lin Feng still called himself an outer sect disciple and why he was still dressed as an outer sect disciple today. It was all because of the outer sect elder, Lu Yuan.
Various gazes landed on Lu Yuan. Instantly, Lu Yuan’s body tensed up as an invisible pressure descended on him.
“Lu Yuan, is that true?”
Nangong Ling’s voice was indifferent, but his voice was filled with authority, not allowing Lu Yuan to lie.
“Sect Master.”
Lu Yuan lowered his head and did not dare to look straight into Nangong Ling’s eyes. At this moment, he was incomparably regretful. He had caused a lot of trouble, and in order to win the favor of Wenren Yan, he had offended Lin Feng.
Seeing Lu Yuan’s reaction, Nangong Ling immediately understood. Needless to say, he knew that what Lin Feng said was the truth. No wonder he still called himself an outer sect disciple. It was truly laughable.
“Good, good…You all have a lot of power. I’ve granted him as an inner sect disciple. You’ve done well. You’ve only told him to go away. Are you sending these words to me?”
“I would not dare.”
Lu Yuan kept lowering his head, with his body slightly trembling. He was only an outer sect elder, and didn’t have any powerful background. He simply couldn’t compare to Mo Ye, who had offended Lin Feng. Even he was almost killed on the spot. Lu Yuan could not be more regretful.
“At this moment, I’ve remembered it.”
Nangong Ling’s voice was indifferent, but it made Lu Yuan panic. He did not know how Nangong Ling planned to deal with him. It was exactly because he did not know that he was scared.
Looking at Lin Feng, Nangong Ling could only bitterly smile. Three times, every single time was so funny. Furthermore, each time, the things nearly took Lin Feng’s life.
“Sect Master, you should understand my feelings now. In the Cloud Sea Sect, I don’t know when I will be hurt by Elder Mo Ye. And I don’t know how many people like Mo Ye, Lu Yuan. Although inner sect disciples’ position is higher than the outer sect disciples, to the elders, they are still just disciples. They could kill them as they like cutting grass.”
Lin Feng’s voice sounded overbearing and forceful, but every word was spoken from the bottom of his heart. Every word was true, making it impossible for anyone to refute him. Thus, Nangong Ling had no words to refute him.
“Lin Feng, what do you want me to do?”
Looking at Lin Feng, Nangong Ling said.
Everyone was shocked. Nangong Ling, in order to keep Lin Feng, he had completely given up on his position as Sect Master. His tone even contained a hint of pleading.
“Actually, it wasn’t Nangong Ling’s fault. Everything happened because strength decided everything in this world. It was deeply ingrained in everyone’s mind.”
Seeing Nangong Ling’s attitude, Lin Feng had a bit of a good impression in his heart. As a sect master, he was willing to give up his dignity, admit his mistakes to an outer sect disciple and even pleadingly ask him what he should do. It could be seen that Nangong Ling was a broad-minded master who valued talents.
“Sect Master, you once told me that only with strong strength can one obtain respect, but Sect Master has thought about it before, disciples, regardless of whether they were talented or not, started from the bottom and continuously progressed. Their starting point is always the weak. If they did not receive the sect’s respect when they are weak, why would they respect the sect when they become strong?”
Lin Feng’s words made Nangong Ling to reflect himself. No matter how talented a disciple was, they would start from the weak. Merely, some people were discovered by the sect, and were valued highly by the sect, while others were not, such as Lin Feng. Therefore, the present situation was the result of the weakness of the sect.
“Within the sect, the enforcement of the rules should be strict. It doesn’t matter if it’s within the outer sect or in the inner sect. Even if the elders had violated the rules and they should receive the same punishment as the disciples. Only in this way can the disciples live in harmony with each other. And there would be no elder killing disciples willfully. Nothing could be accomplished without standards and norms.”
“Even if the elders had violated the rules and they should receive the same punishment as the disciples. Nothing could be accomplished without standards and norms.”
Nangong Ling’s eyes bloomed with a faint light. The strong were revered. This was a rule that everyone in the continent followed. The strong had their own privileges and had their own rules, but what if they were placed in a sect?
Nangong Ling realized that he was wrong. In the outside world, the strong were tyrannical, but in the inside of the sect, there must be rules. Otherwise, it would be like what Lin Feng had said. The disciples of the sect would not be respected when they were weak. How could they respect the sect when they were strong?
“This kid is born to be a general.”
Nangong Ling looked at Lin Feng and stood up. He said in a serious tone, “I have learnt from you. Lin Feng. If you were to rule the sect in the future, it would definitely be strong and prosperous. I hope you can stay.”
How could Lin Feng rule the sect?
Everyone burst into an uproar. Did Nangong Ling’s words have a deeper meaning?
Lin Feng was shaking his head without any interest. He did not know how to rule a sect at all. However, he was a man of two lifetimes and knew a bit more than many people. He saw that what he saw was more long-term than many people were. But if he wanted to rule a sect, it was not certain that he would be able to manage it.
“Sect Master, I’m not in the mood to leave the sect. I just want to share my thoughts and let those people see their foolishness. At the same time, I want a convincing reason for myself to stay.”
Lin Feng was not in an intransigent attitude. If Nangong Ling was like Mo Ye, Lu Yuan, and the others, even if Lin Feng stayed in the sect, he wouldn’t serve the sect in the future. But now, Lin Feng was impressed by Nangong Ling’s character. There was no need for him to betray the sect. All he needed was a reason to stay.
“Lin Feng, as long as I am here, no one will ever suppress you again, let alone plotting against you.”
Nangong Ling promised.
“This is only in the future. Then, what about the humiliation and oppression that I was subjected to before?” Lin Feng was not satisfied with this.
“Lu Yuan treated my words as nothing and looked down on the rules of Cloud Sea Sect. I will cripple his cultivation and his status as an outer sect elder and expel him from the Cloud Sea Sect.”
Nangong Ling’s voice was slightly cold, and everyone’s heart could not help but tremble violently. For Lin Feng, Nangong Ling wanted to cripple the cultivation of an outer sect elder, this was…to make an example of Lu Yuan.
“Sect Master, please forgive me.” Lu Yuan’s face instantly went ghastly pale when he heard this. Crippled his cultivation and expelled from the sect, he had undoubtedly become trash amongst trash. How could he survive in this world?
“You are unforgivable.” Nangong Ling’s voice was very firm. Lu Yuan had to be crippled in order to comfort Lin Feng.
“Wenren, save me.”
Lu Yuan knew that Nangong Ling had made up his mind. He couldn’t make Nangong Ling change his mind, so he shouted to Wenren Yan, who was in the gorge.
However, at this moment, Wenren Yan was planning on how to deal with Lin Feng. How could he take care of him? He coldly glanced at Lu Yuan and ignored him. This made Lu Yuan want to die.
“Unbenevolent and unrighteous!”
When he thought about Lin Feng’s words about Wenren Yan, Lu Yuan felt that it was very appropriate. However, he had offended Lin Feng for this kind of person. After encountering such a disaster, it was too late for regret.
“Lin Feng, are you satisfied?” Nangong Ling asked.
Lin Feng looked at Nangong Ling and calmly shook his head.
“Sect master, you seem to have forgotten one more person.”
Nangong Ling bitterly smiled. Lin Feng really had a character.
The rest of the crowd was also stunned. Their gazes gathered at one spot and all fell on Mo Ye. They naturally understood the person Lin Feng was referring to. Apart from Mo Ye, who else could it be?
However, many people thought that Lin Feng would resolve this matter once and for all. Nangong Ling asking him if he was satisfied was already a hint.
After all, who was Mo Ye? Not only was he an inner sect elder, but his father was also the Great Elder of Enforcement of the sect. His status was incomparably honorable. He wanted Nangong Ling not only to offend Mo Ye but also to offend Mo Canglan as well.
But Lin Feng didn’t seem to have the slightest intention of giving in. His words were aimed straight at Mo Ye.
