A Twist of Fate!

Chapter 19: A Twist of Fate!

Translator: Krukist

Those two blood-soaked corpses lent great weight to Wang Feng's words, causing all present Lingyun Sect disciples to tremble in their hearts. Even those disciples and elders who were extremely unwilling to see the Lingyun Sect dissolved dared not object in the slightest!

Wang Feng swept his indifferent gaze over the many Lingyun Sect disciples present. He had initially considered exterminating the entire Lingyun Sect, killing them all, but considered that within the Lingyun Sect, there were still some disciples of good nature. To kill them all would be somewhat too cruel!

Moreover, this mere Lingyun Sect couldn't amount to much. Even without cutting the grass and eliminating the roots, they couldn't pose any threat to his Divine Immortal Sect - of this, Wang Feng was confident.

If they could pose a threat to his Divine Immortal Sect, no matter how reluctant he might be, Wang Feng would eliminate them completely. He wouldn't let a moment of mercy endanger his Divine Immortal Sect disciples.

Afterwards, Wang Feng didn't remain at the Lingyun Sect any longer, directly leaving with Yaoyue, Great Demon Xuansha, and Li Hei.

"If this sovereign discovers the Lingyun Sect hasn't dissolved, you'll end up like this stone!"

A cold, merciless voice exploded through the heavens and earth. Immediately after, a cold light flashed past, and a huge boulder within the Lingyun Sect instantly shattered with a bang.

The exploding stone fragments made the present Lingyun Sect disciples tremble violently, terror showing in their eyes. If even their Sect Master was no match for this person, how could they, mere disciples, defy Wang Feng's words?

"Are we really going to dissolve just like this?" A Lingyun Sect elder spoke with an unwilling expression, his eyes flashing with vicious intent.

Earlier, with Wang Feng present, he hadn't dared to speak a word, but now that Wang Feng was gone, his thoughts naturally became more active. Could their Lingyun Sect really dissolve just on this person's word? If so, their reputation in the outer region of the Starry Mountain Range would be ruined.

Of course, there was another point - this elder who spoke up was the strongest in the Lingyun Sect after Sect Master Chen Feng and the Great Elder. Now that these two were gone, if the Lingyun Sect didn't dissolve, he had a great chance of becoming the new Sect Master!

"What choice do we have but to dissolve? Given that person's ruthless nature, if we continue to maintain the Lingyun Sect, we'll surely face his retaliation. When that time comes, we'll only have death awaiting us!" Another Lingyun Sect elder spoke with an ugly expression.

As elders of the Lingyun Sect, none were willing to dissolve the sect. Having the position of an elder in a somewhat renowned sect meant their status was different.

Otherwise, with their General Realm cultivation, looking at the entire Radiant Sun Empire, they wouldn't amount to anything. Only here in the outer region of the Starry Mountain Range could they rely on the Lingyun Sect to throw their weight around.

After that elder's words fell, all present Lingyun Sect elders fell silent. Indeed, no matter how unwilling they were, what could they do? They couldn't stop that person, and if they continued maintaining the Lingyun Sect, when he came to settle accounts later, they would certainly die.

"Elders, until we meet again!"

In this moment of silence, several Lingyun Sect disciples bowed to the elders and spoke.

These disciples simply couldn't withstand the intimidation of Wang Feng's final words. In their view, with his threat, the Lingyun Sect was destined to dissolve. Staying would only be a waste of time.

After these disciples spoke, some of the present Lingyun Sect disciples also began to waver, gradually developing thoughts of leaving the Lingyun Sect.

"You all show such little loyalty to our Lingyun Sect? That person just made a threat, and you immediately want to leave?" That currently strongest elder of the Lingyun Sect, seeing these disciples so eager to leave, had a cold light flash through his eyes as he coldly snorted.

"If we don't leave, what's the point of staying? With that person's threat, the Lingyun Sect is destined to dissolve!" Hearing the elder's words, one disciple gathered his courage to speak.

Now that the Lingyun Sect was effectively destroyed, these elders had no status anymore. Therefore, these disciples who wanted to leave grew bolder.

"Such audacity! How dare a mere disciple like you question this elder?" That elder immediately flew into a rage. Already full of anger from Wang Feng's threat, he instantly struck out, violent Profound Qi fluctuations condensing into a fist imprint, striking toward that disciple!

The powerful force instantly suppressed that disciple. That fist imprint directly pierced through the disciple's body, and when the terrifying power exploded, it caused the disciple's body to explode as well, flesh and blood flying everywhere, making it seem as if blood rain fell in that area.

Such a development frightened the other disciples who had wanted to leave, making them tremble all over, repeatedly retreat several steps, and fall on their bottoms with pale faces.

"This elder..."

"Where is Chen Feng?"

Just as that elder was about to say something, a voice like a great bell exploded above the entire Lingxiao Peak. Then, under the shocked gazes of many Lingyun Sect disciples, a mass of black shadows instantly descended upon Lingxiao Peak's sky!

As soon as this group descended, a pressure like a great mountain swept across the entire Lingxiao Peak, pressing down on all the Lingyun Sect disciples, making them tremble!

Several Lingyun Sect elders' eyes widened, all of them greatly frightened. In their perception, that group was basically all General Realm experts or higher, and their leader was particularly unfathomable - just one glance made their very souls tremble!

"Honored... honored one, may I ask why you've come to our Lingyun Sect?" That strongest Lingyun Sect elder respectfully bowed to the leading burly man, speaking with a trembling voice.

That humble and respectful manner was completely different from his earlier ruthlessness toward his own sect's disciple, as if he were two different people.

"Are you Chen Feng?"

Marquis Changlin Lin Tianxiong coldly glanced at that elder and asked deeply.

This group descending upon the Lingyun Sect was none other than Marquis Changlin Lin Tianxiong and his Changling Army, coming to avenge his son!

As a marquis of the Radiant Sun Empire, though Marquis Changlin rarely set foot in the Starry Mountain Range, he still understood it well. He knew that to find his son's killer, he could only seek out the local tyrants of the Starry Mountain Range.

"No... no, our Lingyun Sect Master Chen Feng is dead!" The Marquis's lofty manner made that elder even more reverent, and he hurriedly replied.

"This Marquis asks you, do you know who killed this Marquis's son?" Hearing the news of the Lingyun Sect Master's death, the Marquis's face showed no ripple of emotion as he directly questioned.

A mere Lingyun Sect wasn't worth his attention, even if it was the sect master. Before him, the Marquis of Changlin, they were like ants. At this moment, he only wanted to know who had killed his beloved son.

"I don't know, whose son is the honored one...?"

"This Marquis is the Marquis of Changlin of the Radiant Sun Empire, and this Marquis's son is Lin Yun Yi!"

"What?"

"Hiss!"

When the Marquis's words fell, that elder and the present Lingyun Sect disciples immediately turned pale with shock, looking at the Marquis with trembling.

They hadn't imagined that a mighty marquis of the Radiant Sun Empire would descend upon their Lingyun Sect.

Their Lingyun Sect seemed to rule supreme in this Starry Mountain Range, striking awe in the region, but in the eyes of the Radiant Sun Empire's upper echelons, they were like ants. Even a single marquis could easily destroy their Lingyun Sect.

What frightened them more was that someone had dared to kill the Marquis of Changlin's son? Who would have such great courage to strike at an imperial marquis's son?

That Lingyun Sect elder, after his shock, had an expression that kept changing, and then he gritted his teeth hard, a vicious light flashing through his eyes.

"Marquis, I know who killed your son!" He respectfully bowed to the Marquis and spoke loudly, his entire body trembling slightly from nervousness.

"Speak!"

A voice containing endless killing intent instantly exploded like thunder, shocking people's hearts.

"Earlier, our Lingyun Sect discovered Young Master Lin Yun Yi entering this Starry Mountain Range, but we dared not disturb the Young Master. We never imagined Young Master would be harmed by that person. This person truly committed an unforgivable crime!"

"That person just came to our Lingyun Sect, and immediately killed our Sect Master. In this Starry Mountain Range, only this person would have the greatest possibility of daring to kill Young Master!"

That elder's head was almost touching the ground as he spoke, forcefully suppressing the panic in his heart.

"Who is this person?"

Marquis Changlin's eyes turned cold as he questioned sternly.

How could he not see this Lingyun Sect elder's panic? He knew even more clearly that this elder likely wanted to use him to avenge their Sect Master, but he didn't care at all. He only wanted to find his son's killer!

Just as this elder said, in the entire outer region of the Starry Mountain Range, the Lingyun Sect was supreme. That person dared to directly kill the Lingyun Sect Master upon arrival, showing their unbridled actions and that they had the strength to kill his beloved son, therefore this person was most suspicious.

Marquis Changlin would rather kill wrongly than let any possible killer of his son escape.

Of course, if that person wasn't the killer, this Lingyun Sect elder, and even the entire Lingyun Sect, would bear his, Marquis Changlin's, fury.

"That person didn't reveal any name, they were extremely mysterious. We had never seen them before in this outer region of the Starry Mountain Range! However, when that person left earlier, they ordered our Lingyun Sect to dissolve. If our Lingyun Sect doesn't dissolve and makes a great show of it, we can surely draw out this person!"

Hearing the Marquis's words, this elder's lowered face flashed with joy as he spoke, forcefully suppressing his excited heart. He seemed to already see his scheme succeeding.

If successful, not only could he use the Marquis's hand to eliminate that person, but he might also be able to climb up to the Marquis's high branch and achieve instant success.

"Puh!"

However, just as this person was daydreaming, he seemed to see his head leaving his body, heavily hitting the ground, with no more chance to breathe.
