24: Chapter 024: The Sect Leader’s Invitation!

“Hmph, a bunch of rats!”

Ling Feng felt a dark thrill within his heart.

Having support and having none was certainly different.

If today he had not received the Sect Leader Jade Token from Duanmu Qingshan, even if he had defeated Xiao Qingfeng, he would not have dared to kill him.

Even if he had crippled him, he might have feared for his own life.

Amidst everyone’s wary and fearful gazes, Ling Feng turned around and strode towards the direction of Little Bamboo Peak.

Having killed a genius of the Wenxian Sect, it probably wouldn’t be long before word reached the Sect Leader’s ears.

Although he had the Sect Leader Jade Token, Ling Feng couldn’t guarantee it would completely protect him.

Staying by Duanmu Qingshan’s side was the safest option.

Just then, a figure suddenly leaped and descended behind him – it was a middle–aged man in a black robe, with a slim build, a wispy beard, and mung bean eyes, none other than Elder Lee Liang, who had initially assigned Ling Feng to Little Bamboo Peak.

Elder Lee had already seen Ling Feng behead Xiao Qingfeng from a distance, but alas, he was a step too late, and by the time he arrived, Xiao Qingfeng’s head had already fallen.

However, Xiao Qingfeng was not his disciple, so he felt only slightly surprised, rather than angry.

“Elder Lee!”

The surrounding disciples and stewards bowed respectfully.

Elder Lee’s status within the Inner Sect was second only to the Sect Leader and the various Peak Masters; naturally, they could not neglect him.

“Ling Feng, please, hold on a moment!” Elder Lee did not pay attention to the others and slowly approached Ling Feng, his voice gentle, his face bearing a smile.

However, those familiar with him knew this man always carried a knife behind his smile; within the Wenxian Sect, he was the most cunning.

Ling Feng stopped, turned his head, and saw that it was Lee Liang approaching, which he found slightly surprising.

Why would he seek him out?

“Hehe, Ling Feng, do you remember me?”

Lee Liang’s face bore a smile, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Ling Feng had just killed Xiao Qingfeng, instead treating him as kindly as if he were his own nephew.

“I don’t remember.” Ling Feng had no interest in engaging with him and, with a huff, turned to leave.

Lee Liang’s smile stiffened slightly, a malevolent glint flickering in his eyes but well–concealed.

“Hahaha, such character!

All geniuses have their pride.

It seems I was blind that day.”

Lee Liang quickly walked to Ling Feng’s side, his face all smiles.

Ling Feng smirked, “Speak plainly, no need to beat around the bush.”

Lee Liang grinned, “The Sect Leader has heard about your deed.

He gave both me and Peak Master Yang Wei a good scolding and said he wants to meet you personally.

I am here to relay his message.

Would you be available to visit Liuxian Main Peak today?”

“The Sect Leader wants to see me?” Ling Feng frowned slightly.

Generally, if a disciple were to be received by the Sect Leader, it would be a tremendous honor, but for him…

He was Duanmu Qingshan’s disciple, and Duanmu Qingshan had killed the Sect Leader’s master.

He and the Sect Leader were absolute enemies!

“Rest assured, the Sect Leader isn’t coming to settle scores.

On the contrary, he appreciates you.

A genius like you will definitely catch the Sect Leader’s eye.”

Lee Liang cheerfully said, “Think about it, as a disciple of the Immortal Sect, you wouldn’t want to always stick by Duanmu Qingshan and be isolated by the entire sect, right?

Once the Sect Leader accepts you, all within the sect will be your brethren, and the elders will be your esteemed seniors.

With your talent, after a hundred years when the Sect Leader passes, it might not be impossible for you to succeed him!”

Lee Liang’s flattery left the surrounding disciples dumbfounded.

“Wow, I’m so envious; if I had such an opportunity, I would be willing to live thirty years less!”

“Could it be that Ling Feng is about to leap through the dragon’s gate?”

“What Ling Feng, you should call him Senior Brother Ling!”

Lee Liang watched Ling Feng with a smile and chuckled, “How about it, shall we go see the Sect Leader together?”

Ling Feng slightly raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, “What if I don’t go?”

“Not go?” Lee Liang’s expression stiffened, “You’re a smart person, you should have heard that a good bird chooses the tree it perches in?”

“Ha ha ha!” Ling Feng burst into laughter, “It’s not a difficult choice at all!”

“Exactly, any normal person knows how to choose.” Lee Liang also laughed, “Come on, let’s go meet the Sect Leader, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!”

Ling Feng touched his nose, “Elder Lee, lead the way.”

If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get the tiger’s cubs?

Ling Feng wanted to see, what exactly was the Wenxian Sect Leader planning?

…

Liuxian Main Peak, located at the core of Nine Immortals Mountain, was also the place with the thickest concentration of nature’s spiritual energy in the Wenxian Sect territory.

Led by Lee Liang, it didn’t take long for the two to arrive in front of a majestic hall.

The disciples responsible for guarding bowed respectfully upon seeing Lee Liang.

“This is Jiuling Hall, where many people dream of meeting the Sect Leader.

Some wait decades without a chance.

You are the first disciple who gets to meet the Sect Leader within less than a year of your entry.”

While speaking, Lee Liang led Ling Feng into the hall.

Inside the solemn and majestic hall, which was quite empty at that moment, stood a man in a blue robe, with his hands behind his back, facing the entrance.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!” Lee Liang bowed deeply to Lin Canglang and called out loudly.

Lin Canglang then turned around, his piercing eyes assessing Ling Feng, and suddenly asked, “Was it you who killed Xiao Qingfeng?”

Ling Feng wasn’t much surprised, for, as the leader of a sect, the Sect Leader naturally had reach everywhere; such news couldn’t escape his ears.

“It was me.” Ling Feng met Lin Canglang’s gaze, neither cringing nor arrogant.

“Did you know I once considered taking Xiao Qingfeng as a True Disciple?”

Ling Feng curled his lips and said lightly, “Does that mean, since I killed the disciple you had internally chosen, you want to kill me to vent your anger?”

“Dare you still come then?” Lin Canglang’s aura swept out, like an Ancient Divine Mountain pressing down, making it almost hard for Ling Feng to breathe.

“The Sect Leader could kill me in a thousand ways.

If I could escape today, I won’t be able to escape forever, so why not come?” Ling Feng clenched his teeth, regretting a bit; he couldn’t even move a finger at that moment, let alone reach for the Sect Leader Jade Token.

“Ha ha ha!” The terrifying pressure instantly receded like a tide, and Lin Canglang burst into laughter, “You have guts.

And do you know, I think you excel beyond Xiao Qingfeng, and are worthy of becoming my third True Disciple!”

Ling Feng’s eyebrows lifted; this Wenxian Sect Leader was truly no ordinary person—a combination of a slap and a sweet treat, quite a skillful tactic.

“Flattered by the Sect Leader’s gracious favor,” Ling Feng feigned a flattered expression and said.

“However, you are currently Duanmu Qingshan’s disciple.

Do you know what the relationship between Duanmu Qingshan and me is?”

“I know a bit, but not very clearly.”

“Knowing a bit is enough!” Lin Canglang turned around, strode back to the Sect Leader’s Throne, and slowly sat down, his gaze fixed on Ling Feng, and slowly said, “Now, I still want you to make a choice, Duanmu Qingshan and me, how will you choose?”
