Chapter 691: Everyone Kneels Together!
"Yes."
Zhiyun's brow was also deeply furrowed as she said, "The Sect Master is right; the Wushang Sect really is very powerful. It would be like trying to crack a stone with an egg for us to confront them with our current strength."
Qin Feng smiled and said, "It's not like we're just relying on you."
"Oh?"
Everyone gasped in astonishment.
There were others?
That's right!
With Mr. Qin being so formidable, how could he possibly only rely on the Broken Mountain Sect!
One by one, people became excited and full of anticipation again.
"First, go arrange for the people outside to rest," Qin Feng said. "Then make me a map of the Qinling area, the more detailed, the better."
Upon hearing there were people outside that he had brought with him,
everyone nodded eagerly in excitement.
To fight the Wushang Sect, the more people, the better, of course.
Outside,
the Deputy Hall Master of the Double Dragons Hall, who had been flung away by the White Tiger with a single bite, had crawled back.
Facing such humiliation in front of everyone made him furiously embarrassed. He gathered all two hundred men of the Double Dragons Hall and shouted at the Ao Shi Hall elders and the White Tiger, "Damn it! You're practically asking for death! Don't blame us the Double Dragons Hall for being impolite!"
The elders of the Ao Shi Hall, along with the White Tiger, stepped forward, their momentum not at all diminished, and shouted, "We of the Ao Shi Hall may be few and our cultivation low, but we're not afraid of you, come on!"
"You..."
The Deputy Hall Master was so angry his face turned bright red.
The Ao Shi Hall might have fewer people and lower cultivation levels, but they had a dozen Heaven Rank Divine Weapons, which greatly increased their strength.
And there was a Tiger King among them.
It really wasn't wise to engage in a direct confrontation.
There was no choice.
He could only swallow this grievance and said coldly, "Humph! That kid just went in, didn't he? Ignorance! Probably already dead inside! Once the meeting ends, our Sect Master will come out, and we'll make you pay the price!"
The elder's eyebrows knitted lightly upon hearing this.
Qin Feng had been inside for a while now, and they were unsure of the situation.
On the other hand,
Given the current situation, there was a significant chance that the Broken Mountain Sect would disband, and if the Double Dragons Hall took action against them at that time, it would be troublesome.
Their Sect Master was a Third Grade Grandmaster.
In terms of strength,
not even half of the Ao Shi Hall could match their Sect Master.
At this moment,
Seeing the fear in the elders' faces, the Deputy Hall Master laughed triumphantly: "Hahaha... Good to know you're scared! Once the meeting ends, we two will be enemies. If you want to save your lives, hehe, then surrender your Heaven Rank Divine Weapons as compensation..."
...
Hearing this, the people of the Ao Shi Hall grew even more worried.
At this time,
The great hall doors opened.
Everyone's gaze turned towards the doors; they couldn't help but grip their swords and knives tighter, their expressions a bit tense.
This meeting would determine the future of the Broken Mountain Sect and the fate of each individual!
Of course,
At the start of the meeting,
Over ninety percent of the people believed it was destined to dissolve.
No one was a fool.
Once dissolved, internal conflict was inevitable.
Should they attack Zheng Aotian, to force him to surrender all his treasures?
Or should they strike at the Ao Shi Hall first to seize those dozen Heaven Rank Divine Weapons?
Everything was up to their respective leaders to decide.
At that moment,
Zheng Aotian took the lead, followed by the Sect Leaders of the various Halls, each walking out.
The hands of those holding weapons tensed even more.
Once everyone had come out,
Qin Feng was the last to leave.
Seeing that Qin Feng was safe and sound, the elders of the Ao Shi Hall sighed inwardly with relief.
They had been worried that the seventy-odd Hall Masters would covet his wealth and turn against him.
Seeing Qin Feng coming out.
The eyes of the Double Dragons Hall's Deputy Hall Master brightened instantly. He stepped forward and said to the Hall Master: "My lord, that kid is colluding with Ao Shi Hall and showing disrespect to our Double Dragons Hall. I propose—we should exterminate Ao Shi Hall!!"
The words dropped.
The people from the other seventy-two Sects all showed a bit of regret.
Obviously, the Deputy Hall Master wanted to take advantage of this conflict to claim Ao Shi Hall as his own in advance.
Had they known this would happen.
They would also have created some conflict with Ao Shi Hall to lay the groundwork for seizing their Divine Weapons after the disbandment.
After the Deputy Hall Master finished speaking, he felt exceedingly pleased with himself.
Hehe!
Fortunately, he was farsighted. He had let people know in advance that Ao Shi Hall was his, which counted as a significant accomplishment. Once he gets hold of Ao Shi Hall's Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons, he would be handsomely rewarded.
The Deputy Hall Master was excitedly thinking about this.
At this moment.
He looked up and suddenly a large hand whistled towards him!
Before he could react, he heard a "smack," and the Double Dragons Hall Master delivered a solid slap to his face, sending him tumbling to the ground with a swollen cheek!
The Deputy Hall Master sat collapsed on the ground, totally bewildered.
The others around were equally astonished.
Wasn't this supposed to be a meritorious act?
"Mas… Master, this…" stammered the bewildered Deputy Hall Master.
The Hall Master didn't wait for him to speak, striking him with another slap and shouting angrily: "You actually did something that violates the rules among our own people, do you not realize the trouble you've caused? You have shamed Double Dragons Hall, shamed the Poshan Sect!!"
What?!
Everyone was immediately startled.
Violating the rules among our own people?
Does this mean... the meeting didn't lead to a disbandment?
"Sect Master, we have such a beast within our Sect, please, Sect Master, decide his fate." The Hall Master bowed respectfully to Zheng Aotian.
The people saw the situation and were once again baffled.
Everyone knew that the usual person who least obeyed Zheng Aotian was none other than the Double Dragons Hall Master, who had always been the one to push for disbanding and splitting up. Now, he was being particularly respectful towards Zheng Aotian.
People turned their gazes towards Zheng Aotian.
Zheng Aotian's eyebrows furrowed sharply as he said: "Want to exterminate Ao Shi Hall? Such is a grave sin against our own, kill him!"
"Yes!"
The Double Dragons Hall Master bowed to take the order.
The people saw the situation and were once again shocked.
With just one sentence from Zheng Aotian, was he really going to kill his Deputy Hall Master?
What exactly is going on?
Since when did Zheng Aotian possess such a powerful deterrent?
"Spare me, spare my life…"
The Deputy Hall Master also realized that something was amiss and began to plead for mercy.
At this time.
Qin Feng spoke to Zheng Aotian indifferently: "Forget it."
"Yes, Mr. Qin!"
Zheng Aotian replied with respect and then ordered the Deputy Hall Master, "Don't you quickly thank Mr. Qin for your life!"
Everyone was stunned!
Just when they were puzzled about how Zheng Aotian suddenly had such great power of deterrence, he now bowed to that young man and addressed him as Mr. Qin!
Could it be...
It was because of him that Zheng Aotian had such confidence?
The Deputy Hall Master also paused for a moment, then knelt down in front of Qin Feng, constantly kowtowing: "Mr. Qin, I was wrong, it is my fault, thank you Mr. Qin for sparing my life, thank you…"
Qin Feng glanced at him indifferently, then looked around at the nearly ten thousand people from the seventy-two Sects. His gaze was calm but sharp as a treasured sword piercing the clouds, making people dare not meet his eyes.
"Before this, I didn't care what you might have been thinking."
"But."
"After today, if anyone again tries to kill a fellow Sect member, their only fate will be—to die under a thousand cuts!!"
Qin Feng stated each word decisively.
Immediately after.
Led by Zheng Aotian, the twelve Sect Leaders knelt in unison: "Yes!!"
Their voices were loud, revealing awe!
Almost ten thousand people were stupefied.
At this moment, they finally recognized the truth; this mere martial master in front of them was truly the mastermind behind the Poshan Sect!
