The words of the Supreme Great Elder resonated with the Sect Master and the many Peak Masters.
Even Xiao Hongyi, who had just been dizzy, was now nodding repeatedly.
Normally, with her personality, once she decided to take a disciple, she wouldn’t care if it was the Son of Destiny or even a star of calamity destined by heaven.
But at this moment, she felt that her grandfather’s words incomprehensibly made a lot of sense!
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng’s face darkened, feeling a strong sense of humiliation.
In the Lower Domain, although some sects and forces looked down on him, it was only at the beginning.
As long as he showed his talent and fortune, those sects and forces would pay him great attention.
But this time, he had shown all his talent and fortune, yet he was rejected by the Jiuyan Sect!
“Haha!”
Before he could finish speaking, a shadow flashed before his eyes, and he was kicked flying with a scream!
After tumbling several zhang away, Lin Feng quickly got up, looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and angrily said, “Jiang Chen! You’ve gone too far!!”
It was Jiang Chen.
After rolling his eyes at Lin Feng, Jiang Chen’s voice echoed around, “I, Jiang Chen, Eldest Senior Brother of Ninth Peak, declare this injustice for Lin Feng!”
Everyone was stunned, full of question marks!
Declare injustice?
Not to mention that this was out of character for Jiang Chen, but who declares injustice by kicking the victim first?
Lin Feng was also confused.
Declare injustice for him? Jiang Chen? Is this a joke?!
He remembered very clearly.
In Lingshan Town, if it hadn’t been for Jiang Chen scaring him half to death, causing Old Man Tianji to use a great deal of soul power and ultimately fall into a deep sleep, he wouldn’t be in such a situation!
For a moment, Lin Feng forgot that he had just been kicked, and with a stern face, he pondered what Jiang Chen was really up to.
“Jiang Chen! This is the decision of the Supreme Elders. Step back at once!” Gu Changqing regained his senses and shouted loudly.
Ignoring Gu Changqing, Jiang Chen looked up at the twelve Supreme Elders and asked, “May I ask the Supreme Elders, has Lin Feng passed the test for true discipleship?”
“…”
The Supreme Elders frowned.
“If you don’t answer, then I’ll take it as a yes.”
Jiang Chen asked loudly, “You often say that the rules of the sect are above all else! I’ve heard it so much that my ears have calluses! The rules of the sect state that anyone who passes the test for true discipleship can become a true disciple of the Jiuyan Sect.”
With a sneer, he continued, “But now what? You fear Lin Feng’s fortune and reject him from the sect! This action destroys the thousand-year reputation of the Jiuyan Sect in an instant, making it contemptible!”
“He is the Son of Destiny… and the sect’s fortune is limited,” the Supreme Great Elder said gravely.
“So what?” Jiang Chen was still disdainful, retorting, “We cultivators seize the fate of heaven and earth. To advance is to live, to retreat is to die! As the saying goes, crisis and opportunity coexist. If the Jiuyan Sect wants to become an Upper Domain sect, only relying solely on you Supreme Elders will be hopeless in this lifetime! You must take a gamble!”
After speaking, he lamented, “As the Eldest Senior Brother of Ninth Peak of the Jiuyan Sect, I cannot bear to see the sect turn away such an opportunity! All this is for the sake of the sect!”
Everyone was speechless.
These words indeed had no problems, but coming from Jiang Chen, they couldn’t be convincing.
It just felt strange!
Seeing that the Supreme Elders were still silent, Jiang Chen said again, “May I ask the Supreme Elders, how long have you been trapped in your current realm? How much life do you have left? Would you prefer to perish in the Central Domain or be reborn in the Upper Domain?”
Hearing this, all twelve Supreme Elders twitched.
The Central Domain was indeed much better than the Lower Domain, but in terms of the concentration of spiritual energy and various cultivation resources, it was still worlds apart from the Upper Domain.
As Jiang Chen said, to advance is to live, to retreat is to die!
If possible, no one wants to die on the way back!
But the problem is…
“Jiang Chen! This is a decree from the ancestor!” the Supreme Great Elder said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Changqing and the others all widened their eyes in shock!
If it was a decree from the ancestor, then there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
However, they didn’t understand why the normally reclusive Jiuyan ancestor had become so active recently?
Jiang Chen was also startled.
Why is this Jiuyan ancestor suddenly seeking attention again? Can’t he just wait for death quietly?
Lin Feng is his pawn!
He must be closely monitored and must not be allowed to escape control!
After a brief contemplation, Jiang Chen had some speculations.
The fate of the Son of Destiny is indeed terrifying, and the Jiuyan ancestor must be worried that Lin Feng will bring disaster to the sect, affecting his already limited lifespan!
Originally, Jiang Chen had hoped to make an effort to keep Lin Feng in the Jiuyan Sect.
But if it’s a decree from the ancestor, then he is helpless.
Just as everyone was ready to bow and shout, “We will obey the ancestor’s decree.”
“So what if it’s the ancestor’s decree?”
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and interrupted loudly: “If even the ancestors of the Jiuyan Sect have lost their ambition, then there’s no need to stay in such a sect! If the ancestor does not rescind the decree, today! I will leave the sect and wander the world with Junior Brother Lin!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked again!
Gu Changqing, Li Fadu, and several Peak Masters were overjoyed, almost bursting into laughter.
Ever since Jiang Chen joined the Jiuyan Sect, many people have been worried.
They feared that one day the Imperial Dynasty’s golden cavalry would arrive, and in killing Jiang Chen, they would also destroy the Jiuyan Sect!
But now, Jiang Chen was actually going to leave the sect on his own?
This was great news!
Lin Feng was even more shocked!
Jiang Chen was willing to leave the sect for him and wander the world with him?
How touching is that?
At this moment, he even doubted whether he had misunderstood Jiang Chen.
Could it be that Jiang Chen was actually a good person of great loyalty and integrity?
But the problem is, no matter how he looked at him, he found Jiang Chen extremely annoying!
He couldn’t muster the slightest bit of fondness!
“Jiang Chen, do not speak nonsense,” Xiao Hongyi quickly reprimanded.
“Master, please forgive me.”
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said resolutely: “I hit it off with Junior Brother Lin at first sight! Since it’s the ancestor’s decree, I will not insist! Today, I will leave the sect!”
“Are these words true?” the Supreme Great Elder asked with narrowed eyes.
“Of course!” Jiang Chen retorted.
“You will not regret it?”
“Not even if the Emperor himself comes!” Jiang Chen declared.
“Good!” the Supreme Great Elder nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
“According to the rules of the sect, leaving the sect without permission is treated as betrayal, but since you are so loyal and righteous, then I will…”
“Wait a moment!”
Before he could finish, Jiang Lianyue, Lin Mubai, Qingning, and a White Tiger leaped to Jiang Chen’s side.
They said in unison: “We also want to leave the sect! To wander the world with Eldest Senior Brother!”
The corner of the Supreme Great Elder’s mouth twitched.
Jiang Chen was also at a loss. He was ready to leave the sect, but why were these three lunatics and a foolish tiger still clinging to him?
“Hongyi, aren’t you going to do something about it?” the Supreme Great Elder asked Xiao Hongyi.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongyi stood up and sighed deeply: “If that’s the case, then I will also leave the sect. As their master, I shall go to the ends of the world to teach them.”
These words made the twelve Supreme Elders stagger, nearly falling from the sky.
