Shi Wanshan looked at Lin Chen and Gong Siyuan and spoke indifferently, wanting the two to reconcile for the sake of fellow sect members, and to let the matter go.
After all, Shi Wanshan believed that the conflict between the two was merely caused by a woman, Yan Ruyu, which was a trivial matter that should not escalate to the point of a lethal fight.
Moreover, feelings can not be forced, although this was not an ancient elder’s business to meddle in.
But with the upcoming competition between Red Soul Hall and Divine Flame Alliance, Shi Wanshan did not want these two Heavenly Prides fighting internally; the overall situation should be the priority.
Upon hearing Shi Wanshan’s words, Lin Chen naturally had no objections. As long as the mad dog in front of him did not bite him, he would not bother with him.
However, upon hearing Shi Wanshan’s words, Gong Siyuan’s expression suddenly changed, his face turning cold as he slightly furrowed his brows.
He had not expected that Shi Wanshan, who usually acted fairly as one of the great elders of Formation Sect, would stand up for a mere junior at the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.
What kind of virtue and ability did Lin Chen have to make Shi Wanshan do this? Could it be because of the contributions Lin Chen made to the Formation Sect, or his military merits on the front lines?
Thinking of this, Gong Siyuan’s hatred for Lin Chen deepened, as he believed that everyone was deceived by Lin Chen. Even Elder Shi was blinded by him, and it was his duty to let everyone see Lin Chen’s true face.
However, since Shi Wanshan already spoke , Gong Siyuan had no choice but to let it go for now, giving face to Elder Shi and temporarily not bothering Lin Chen.
After all, although Gong Siyuan’s talent was extraordinary and his cultivation was at the Fourth Level of Nirvana Realm, which was not weak compared to many elders, he was still somewhat inferior to Shi Wanshan.
Yet, Gong Siyuan was still somewhat dissatisfied, as he clearly could defeat Lin Chen and expose this trash for what he truly was.
A mere First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, what big tail wolf is he pretending to be.
Just as Gong Siyuan was about to acquiesce to Shi Wanshan and let the matter go, a deep transmission suddenly sounded above the sky.
"Brother Shi, let these youngsters solve their own small matters. We are all old bones now, shouldn’t we stop meddling and avoid gossip?"
The transmission rang in the sky, and after hearing it, the expressions around immediately changed again.
"Good heavens, what day is today that two great elders have appeared in succession? These are generally elusive figures like a divine dragon!"
"Have you noticed that the appearance of these elders is because of Lin Chen and Gong Siyuan?"
"Indeed, if it weren’t for Lin Chen and Gong Siyuan causing such a big stir, the elders wouldn’t have appeared. What a face these two guys got."
"Don’t you see their status? They are the sect’s Heavenly Prides, the pillars of the sect, understand? Such high-status existence, if they fight each other, it would only be a loss for the sect. Naturally, the elders have to come forward to stop it."
Upon hearing Ding Xingzheng’s transmission, the people around immediately began discussing softly.
Just as this voice spread, a powerful aura suddenly locked onto Shi Wanshan.
Shi Wanshan slightly furrowed his brows, feeling very displeased in his heart. Newest update provıded by noⅴelfire.net
Ding Xingzheng’s actions were clearly biased now.
For the development of the sect, the conflict between the two should not be allowed to escalate.
However, Ding Xingzheng, this old man, even supported them to continue fighting.
Such internal strife, if it really broke out, it’s inevitable that one side would get hurt, even ending up in a situation where both parties were damaged, how could they then participate in the competition with Red Soul Hall?
Ding Xingzheng, even though his cultivation has increased, his actions are becoming less and less considerate of the sect’s interests, only looking out for his own.
Although Shi Wanshan was very displeased in his heart, he reluctantly accepted Ding Xingzheng’s words by default.
Over the years, Shi Wanshan had done many things for Formation Sect. Every time the strong ones from Red Soul Hall appeared, Ding Xingzheng and Qin Batian were busy in seclusion. It was always him who went out to battle with those old immortals from Red Soul Hall, resulting in severe injuries.
Shi Wanshan, with his cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm, was already not Ding Xingzheng’s opponent in the old days, and now that Ding Xingzheng had broken through his cultivation, Shi Wanshan was even less of a match.
"The competition is just a competition, but do not overdo it, harming fellow sect member’s feelings and lives, you two should be moderate."
Shi Wanshan looked deeply at Gong Siyuan and spoke.
However, though he said that, during the competition, unintentional injuries were inevitable.
Shi Wanshan had already decided that if Lin Chen could not handle Gong Siyuan later, he would immediately intervene to rescue Lin Chen.
At this moment, Gong Siyuan had a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. If Ding Xingzheng had not intervened, he indeed would have had to suppress his resentment.
But now that Ding Xingzheng had intervened, creating a chance for them to battle, Gong Siyuan naturally would not waste it.
He knew that after Ding Xingzheng’s breakthrough in cultivation, he wanted to elevate the position of the Ouyang Family in Formation Sect quickly, suppressing the Qin Family, thus he was courting him.
Gong Siyuan temporarily did not think much about his relationship with the Ouyang Family. He did not want to end up as a lackey for the Ouyang Family.
After all, it’s just the Peak Cultivation Level of Nirvana Realm. Give Gong Siyuan a few hundred years, and he could also reach this level, and then he too could become an elder.
However, he would not miss the chance to take down Lin Chen now.
"This trash dares to covet my Junior Sister Ruyu, today I must teach him a severe lesson."
"Since Lin Chen has made significant contributions to Formation Sect and has merits, if Elder Shi does not let me kill him, then crippling him will do, letting him taste the pain worse than death."
"Then, Junior Sister Ruyu naturally won’t take another look at this trash, and Junior Sister Ruyu will only be mine."
Gong Siyuan looked at Lin Chen, plotting venomously in his heart.
"Brother Gong, please let Lin Chen go, today is my fault, don’t go after Lin Chen."
Seeing that Gong Siyuan was really about to make a move on Lin Chen, Yan Ruyu worried about Lin Chen’s safety, immediately stood in front of Lin Chen, and pleaded with Gong Siyuan.
However, such a plea from Yan Ruyu only completely ignited Gong Siyuan’s anger and hatred towards Lin Chen.
Gong Siyuan had secretly decided that today, no matter what, he would cripple Lin Chen.
Because he had never seen Yan Ruyu pleading with someone for something, not even for him.
Yet today, for Lin Chen, she actually spoke to plead with him.
