Chapter 770: Why Aren't You Speaking Anymore? (3rd Update)
"Elder Five, Lin Fan is no ordinary man!" Mu Mengrui bit her red lips.
"Heh! No ordinary man? Mu Mengrui, on what basis do you say he is not an ordinary person? Merely because of your own words?" Yuan Hui sneered coldly, her tone full of mockery: "The world is not short of geniuses who die young. Do you think our Bodhi Palace should offend the entire Wangu Sect just for the sake of a Lin Fan?"
Mu Mengrui fell silent!
Indeed, that was the case.
Offending the entire Wangu Sect just for Lin Fan was not worth it.
Furthermore.
The other Elders of Bodhi Palace would not agree either!
"Where is this Lin Fan?" Yuan Hui asked.
"Elder Five, this Lin Fan was brought back by Mu Mengrui, and he is now on her Flying Boat. I'm afraid... Lin Fan must be within our Bodhi Palace by now!" Yuan Hong suddenly interjected.
"Yuan Hong, shut your mouth!!! When did it become your turn to interrupt our conversation?" Mu Mengrui said angrily.
"Heh! What a fiery temper the Young Palace Master has!" Yuan Hui chuckled coldly, "Young Palace Master, you probably don't know yet, but we Elders have discussed it already. Yuan Hong is now an Inner Sect Disciple! He has joined the ranks of Candidacy Palace Master, and when the time comes to compete for the position of Palace Master, Yuan Hong will have a place in the competition!"
"What!"
Mu Mengrui's eyes widened in disbelief: "How could this be... What qualifications does Yuan Hong have?"
"Hmph!"
Yuan Hui let out a cold snort, her face darkening.
Mu Mengrui's words were clearly a disdain for her son.
Yuan Hong was even more furious, barking like a dog whose tail had been stepped on: "Damn it! Mu Mengrui, what do you mean by that? Do you think you're so great? But your cultivation is only at the rank of a Second Rank Saint Emperor! I am now at the Third Rank Saint Emperor, and according to cultivation, I'm even more powerful than you. Why are you the Young Palace Master while I can't join the competition for Palace Master candidacy?"
Mu Mengrui fell silent!
But Yuan Hong became even more boisterous: "I pursued you in the past, and what was your attitude? I was like a damn dog groveling at your feet, but what about you? Mu Mengrui, have you ever truly looked at me? Now, look at me, I've become a Third Rank Saint Emperor, and I'm one of the strong contenders for the position of Palace Master. I'm going to secure that position of Palace Master!"
Yuan Hong's voice was filled with endless provocation!
And the other Elders of Bodhi Palace, one by one, all chose to remain silent.
Yuan Hong was indeed arrogant, very arrogant.
But still, no one spoke out.
Because for any power, competition is the best.
Especially for the competition for the Palace Master—it's almost a fight to the death!
And these Elders had no need to intervene; only the last one left laughing can lead Bodhi Palace to a brighter future!
"Why aren't you talking now?" Yuan Hong continued to press.
"Enough! Yuan Hong, after all, Mu Mengrui is still the Young Palace Master," Yuan Xi said with some disapproval, chiding him.
The majesty of a Seventh Rank Saint Emperor came at them full force!
Yuan Hong shrank his neck and finally shut his mouth.
At the same time.
"Wangu Sect's Third Elder, Ming Xiao, requests an audience with the Palace Master of Bodhi Palace!" A Seventh Rank Saint Emperor's oppressive force came from outside the grand hall, along with an old voice.
Everyone inside the hall changed their expressions.
But the corners of Yuan Hong's mouth revealed a faint smile!
The people from Wangu Sect have finally arrived; how arduously he has awaited this moment!
This time.
Let's see how Lin Fan dies, and how Mu Mengrui, the one who shielded Lin Fan... how she dies!
The crowd turned their gazes toward the entrance of the grand hall, where a line of people began to enter. Leading them was an elder, looking extremely aged, with a somber gaze, striding in like a dragon and a tiger. He wore a pitch-black robe and held a snake-headed cane. After entering the hall, he slammed his cane down fiercely.
"Thud!"
The elder stood still.
Behind him followed a large group from Wangu Sect, totaling forty or fifty people, including over a dozen Holy Emperors!
The rest were deacons, all at the Holy Emperor Realm.
This power could sweep across any place in the Lost Continent, aside from the ten great sects, and pave through any other sect!
Seeing such a terrifying line-up from Wangu Sect, Yuan Hong smiled knowingly; this time... Lin Fan was truly doomed!
...
At this moment.
Lin Fan was still in Mu Mengrui's boudoir, hastily recovering his cultivation.
Now, his injuries were completely healed; he was just solidifying his realm.
After last night's battle, Lin Fan underwent several life-and-death experiences; not only did the Dragon Bone within him break through like crazy, reaching a total of twenty meridians!
His cultivation, too, had forcefully surged to the Fifth Rank Ancient Saint after that battle.
"Emperor Jade, it seems that this kind of life-and-death fighting is still beneficial!" Lin Fan transmitted his voice, somewhat excited, completely unaware that the people from Wangu Sect had come knocking at the door.
Emperor Jade nodded: "Of course, it's not just you; anyone who experiences life-and-death battles will increase their cultivation because, after all, cultivation is something that needs to be understood through battling. Last night, you were on the brink of death several times, especially when that Sixth Rank Saint Emperor self-destructed, which was extremely dangerous! If it wasn't for the Dragon Bone erupting and activating to protect you, you would have been dead long ago! The self-explosion of a Sixth Rank Saint Emperor is equivalent to hundreds of atomic bombs exploding at the same time; you surviving, you're really lucky!"
Emperor Jade's incarnation, a little girl, rolled her eyes in Lin Fan's mind.
"Hehe! I didn't die, after all. Surviving a catastrophe is a kind of fortune. I'll continue to stabilize my cultivation." Lin Fan chuckled and pulled out a dozen or so hundred-thousand-year-old medicinal materials from the Coiling Dragon Ancient Ring, swallowing them as if they were snacks.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would be furious with envy!
These are hundred-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines!
Any single one is worth a fortune, yet here they are being squandered.
But.
In Lin Fan's Coiling Dragon Ancient Ring, such aged Spiritual Medicines are incredibly plentiful.
...
Elsewhere, within the main hall of the Bodhi Palace.
"So it is Elder Ming Xiao, may I know what brings Elder Ming Xiao to our Bodhi Palace?" Yuan Xi looked at Wangu Sect's Third Elder and asked with a smile.
"Hehe!"
Ming Xiao shook the snake-headed cane in his hand fiercely, and with a cold laugh said, "Palace Master, don't play dumb. My visit today has two purposes: first, for Bodhi Palace to hand over the murderer Lin Fan; second, for Bodhi Palace to strip Mu Mengrui of her Young Palace Master position for shielding the murderer Lin Fan, to nullify her cultivation, and to expel her from Bodhi Palace! If Bodhi Palace can satisfy these two conditions, I and my people will leave immediately!"
"What? Strip Mengrui of her cultivation and expel her from Bodhi Palace!" Yuan Xi exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this from Ming Xiao.
Mu Mengrui's delicate body also shuddered violently!
"What, is Bodhi Palace unwilling?" Ming Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
The threatening tone in his voice was unmistakable and unabashed.
