Free Web NovelChapter 1417: Chapter 918: Confrontation at Tianlan Headquarters
"Lord Gu Ye is indeed formidable, but his repeated assaults on Ancient Cloud are entirely for Lin Feng!"
"Yes, Lin Feng was the one he left behind, causing so many deaths. Naturally, Lord Gu Ye cannot remain blameless!"
"Lord Gu Ye hasn’t failed Tianlan, but Lin Feng, that trash, hasn’t shown himself for years; he’s nothing but a traitor!"
As soon as Lin Feng walked into Tianlan Headquarters, his face turned grim. Many disciples’ conversations at the headquarters reached his ears without any obstruction.
Nevertheless, Lin Feng’s arrival was immediately noticed, and the discussions abruptly ceased.
Swish, swish, swish!!
A figure flickered, blocking Lin Feng’s path, as a young man stood before him.
"Lin Feng, you still have the nerve to come to the headquarters?" a young man in a yellow robe shouted coldly.
This young man seemed familiar to Lin Feng; he was the one who berated him at the Time Tower last time.
"Why wouldn’t I have the nerve to come?" Lin Feng asked calmly as he looked at the man in yellow. Meanwhile, he sighed internally, wondering why he kept encountering this guy.
"Weren’t you supposed to fight for Tianlan? Where have you been these years?" the young man in yellow roared angrily.
"I was cultivating," Lin Feng replied truthfully.
"Cultivating, huh?"
The young man in yellow sneered contemptuously and interrogated, "Our Tianlan and Ancient Cloud are at war, many Lords have made their moves, yet you, the instigator, have been cultivating all this time. Is this how you fight for Tianlan?"
The young man in yellow was furious, his disdain for Lin Feng evident, and many in Tianlan felt the same.
Because Tianlan had suffered countless casualties in this conflict between the two great alliances, and the root cause was Lin Feng.
That wasn’t all; as the two alliances clashed, many weaker disciples took part, while Lin Feng was contently cultivating!
Therefore, the already enraged young man in yellow exploded upon seeing Lin Feng.
"That’s right, Lin Feng, you failed Tianlan!"
"If it weren’t for Lord Gu Ye, how could you cultivate in peace? Lord Gu Ye was actually fighting for you!"
"Coward!"
Numerous disciples from the headquarters gathered around, hardly any bearing friendly expressions. Lin Feng seemed like the proverbial rat crossing the street, at the brink of being publicly denounced!
"I, Lin Feng, will repay Tianlan’s favor, but it’s not up to you to lecture me!" Lin Feng said coldly, his face expressionless, having decided not to fight until his strength improved.
After all, he was a marked man by Ancient Cloud; without formidable power, going out alone could easily end in his death. "Hiding away in Gu Ye Star, is this how you repay Tianlan?"
The young man in yellow questioned loudly and continued shouting, "Lin Feng, if not for Lord Gu Ye’s protection, do you think you could be so at ease in Tianlan?"
The hostility between Tianlan and Ancient Cloud is known to be because of Lin Feng, and consequently, many Lords of Creation Realm in Tianlan felt resentment towards Lin Feng, with some even proposing to hand Lin Feng over to the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
However, as Lin Feng was left at Tianlan by Lord Gu Ye, and given Lord Gu Ye’s multiple interventions against Ancient Cloud, achieving significant feats for Tianlan, other Lords refrained from advocating Lin Feng’s expulsion.
"I reiterate, I will repay Tianlan!"
Lin Feng responded unemotionally and bluntly: "Besides, who are you? I don’t need you to tell me what to do, do I?"
"You caused so many deaths, and still dare to be so arrogant?" The young man in yellow saw Lin Feng’s firm attitude and was instantly enraged, malice flashing in his eyes, his aura surging, seemingly ready to teach Lin Feng a lesson on the spot.
The young man in yellow was in the Small Success of the Supreme Realm, considerably powerful.
People around sneered, eager to see the young man in yellow suppress Lin Feng.
They shared the same resentment as the young man in yellow; had it not been for Lin Feng, how could Tianlan have suffered such significant losses?
Whoosh!
At this moment, a figure shot over from the distance, landing directly between Lin Feng and the young man in yellow, separating the two.
This sudden arrival was none other than Fu Qian.
"Ye Wuqi, what are you planning to do?" Fu Qian looked at the young man in yellow, asking coldly.
"What are you up to? Protecting Lin Feng?"
The young man in yellow, Ye Wuqi, replied with a question instead of answering, then smirked, saying, "Fu Qian, you were captured by Lin Feng and became his prisoner, and now you still want to protect him. It’s truly absurd; have you knelt for so long that you cannot stand up?"
"Ye Wuqi, you’re deliberately causing trouble, utterly incomprehensible!" Fu Qian shouted angrily. Had it been someone else, he would have been less polite, but Ye Wuqi’s strength surpassed his own, so although he was furious, he had no choice but to endure.
Finishing his words, Fu Qian did not linger to argue with Ye Wuqi, but instead grabbed Lin Feng by the arm, quickly pulling him away from the crowd.
"Lin Feng, they all say you’re a peerless prodigy, but to me, you’re nothing more than a cowardly scoundrel!"
Watching Fu Qian and Lin Feng leave, Ye Wuqi did not stop them but raised his voice to shout instead.
Although he disliked Lin Feng, he also couldn’t really do anything to him — after all, Lin Feng was now a disciple of Tianlan, and under Lord Gu Ye’s protection.
"Ye Wuqi, you don’t need to make enemies with Lin Feng. He’s under Lord Gu Ye’s protection; being hostile towards him will only be harmful, not beneficial!" a young man in white advised Ye Wuqi.
"I just can’t stand that guy. Our Tianlan shouldn’t have taken him in. I really don’t understand why Lord Gu Ye wants to protect him?" Ye Wuqi said with resentment. It’s unwise for Tianlan to become hostile to Ancient Cloud for the sake of an irrelevant person. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"It must be because of his talent. There’s the possibility he could become another lord of Tianlan in the future!" someone said, clearly sounding somewhat disgruntled.
"Talent?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuqi scoffed and confidently said, "In terms of talent alone, Tianlan is full of geniuses, none of whom are any worse than him. Personally, I can easily defeat him!"
"Perhaps he has a close connection with Lord Gu Ye, which is something beyond our speculation!" someone said, and many others felt somewhat helpless, unable to sway the decisions of Tianlan’s upper echelons.
...
Lin Feng followed Fu Qian and left. He could still hear conversations between Ye Wuqi and the others, but he wasn’t angered, nor did he see the need to argue with them.
"Lin Feng, this Ye Wuqi is always arrogant; you don’t need to mind him!" Fu Qian said to Lin Feng.
"This person is like a rabid dog, he’s bitten me twice now!" Lin Feng said with a gloomy expression. Indeed, due to his actions, Tianlan and Ancient Cloud had become hostile, causing many deaths.
But if Ye Wuqi has any grievances, he can completely address the higher-ups of Tianlan. What’s the point of persistently biting him?
"Lin Feng, this Ye Wuqi is considered a distinguished talent within Tianlan, very powerful, with significant background. It’s best not to have conflicts with him to avoid unnecessary trouble!" Fu Qian advised. Though he and Lin Feng had drawn clear boundaries, seeing the latter surrounded today prompted him to stand out immediately.
He was unsure why he acted this way; perhaps it was because he held some admiration for Lin Feng deep down!
"Hope he doesn’t bother me again!" Lin Feng sighed; if the other side didn’t provoke him, he naturally wouldn’t act.
However, if the other side continues to pester, he won’t hold back any longer.
"In fact, nearly everyone in Tianlan harbors grievances against you now, they just keep it to themselves!"
Fu Qian shook his head helplessly and continued, "But due to Lord Gu Ye’s involvement, none dare do anything to you. As long as the upper echelons, either the lords or alliance hierarch, have no objections, you can continue to stay in Tianlan safely!"
"I hope so!" Lin Feng took a deep breath, finding it hard to stay in Ancient Cloud, and equally hard now in Tianlan!
Although Lord Gu Ye had never sought him out in recent years, Lin Feng was sure that he had done something for him.
After all, because of him, Tianlan suffered great losses. How could the unrelated upper echelons of Tianlan have no reaction? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Hence, Lin Feng was certain that Lord Gu Ye had certainly done something for him, possibly convincing other upper echelons of Tianlan to protect him, or perhaps Lord Gu Ye had rendered many merits to Tianlan, allowing him to continue staying here.
In their conversation, Fu Qian and Lin Feng arrived at a courtyard. This was Fu Qian’s residence!
Tianlan’s headquarters was situated in a valley, vast in its reach, with numerous constructions of various kinds, unlike the unified structure of Ancient Cloud’s headquarters.
