Chapter 021：Questioning the Elders

In order not to draw attention, Elder Bei placed Lin Feng in the woods on the back mountain where the disciples of the Outer Sect lived. 

Taking a step forward, Lin Feng immediately set off towards Han Man's residence. When passing by his own room, he didn't even turn his head to look back. 

"Lin Feng." 

Just at that moment, a shout was heard. Lin Feng turned his head and saw that the door of the room he lived in was wide open. In front of the door, there was a person leaning against it. 

This scene made Lin Feng's pupils slightly congealed. The room was a private space for every disciple of the sect. He never expected that someone would openly break into his residence and lazily lounge in his room. If there were any secrets in his room, what would happen? 

"Didn't you know that the sect has regulations that prohibit entering others' rooms without permission?" Lin Feng's tone was somewhat cold. In his memory, there was this person before him, Hou Qing, the tenth-ranked disciple of the Outer Sect. At the same time, he was also an Outer Sect law enforcer. It was because of this identity that Lin Feng recognized him, and he also knew Lin Feng. 

In Yunhai Sect, Mo Canglan, as the senior elder, holds a high position and is in charge of law enforcement. Beneath him, there are the sect's law enforcement personnel. These law enforcement personnel are spread throughout the sect, including core law enforcers, Inner Gate law enforcers, and Outer Gate law enforcers. Hou Qing is one of the Outer Gate law enforcers. 

Usually, Hou Qing relied on his strong martial skills and his status as an external martial law enforcer to bully the disciples of the external sect. But Lin Feng didn't expect that this guy would be so excessive this time. He broke into his room without permission and committed a crime against the law. 

"Of course I know that. But for someone like you, a useless person like you, this rule is no longer necessary." Hou Qing's expression was languid. He didn't even give Lin Feng a glance. In his heart, he simply looked down upon Lin Feng as a useless person at the level of the Fifth Stage of the Martial Realm. 

"Also, come with me for a little while now." Hou Qing added. 

"Not now." Lin Feng raised his foot and walked away. Han Man was still seriously injured and was waiting for his elixir. As for Hou Qing... he had already noted her down. 

"Huh?" Hou Qing saw that Lin Feng didn't even acknowledge him at all. He was momentarily stunned, and then a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His figure vanished from its original position in an instant. 

A powerful whirlwind blew in, and a figure appeared in front of Lin Feng. It was Hou Qing. 

Hou Qing was quite satisfied with his own fighting style. Especially after seeing Lin Feng frown deeply, he thought to himself that a person without much experience is just that - a nobody. He believed that a person without much experience is just that - a nobody. 

"Senior of the sect wants to see you. You don't go?" Hou Qing looked at Lin Feng mockingly, as if waiting for him to make a fool of himself. 

"Is Elder Ling here to see me?" Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. Could it be because of the matter involving the bells and the cliff? No, not at all. Elder Kuo asked him not to spread the news, and Elder Bei would not do so either. Even if other elders knew about it, they would definitely not allow Hou Qing to call him by name. Moreover, the timing was not right either. 

However, since it was the Elder's turn to see him, Lin Feng couldn't possibly refuse. 

"Wait for me for a moment, and I'll be right back." Lin Feng walked past Hou Qing, causing Hou Qing to be stunned again. This guy even dared to ask him to wait when he heard that the Elder wanted to see him. He really didn't know whether he was alive or dead. However, thinking of Lin Feng's impending fate, Hou Qing didn't bother to argue with Lin Feng over this little matter of time. 

Lin Feng quickly made his way to Han Man's room. Without a word, he took out three pills and directly poured them into Han Man's mouth. Then he waited by the side. 

"Lin Feng, did you really go to Tianjian Cliff?" Jing Yun looked at Lin Feng with puzzlement. 

He nodded. Lin Feng didn't want to deceive Jing Yun, but when he thought of what Old Man Kuo had said, he didn't say anything either. 

However, Jingyun felt a slight tremor in her heart. Looking at Lin Feng, her gaze carried an unusual glow. This guy went to Tianjian Cliff and upon his return, he brought along some elixirs. It's very likely that he passed the test of Tianjian Cliff. 

Han Man felt a refreshing current flowing through his body. His eyes opened and he looked at Lin Feng. Without uttering any words of gratitude, a warm current passed through his heart and his body. 

"Lin Feng." After just a few days of getting to know each other, these two words have already been deeply engraved in Han Man's heart. 

This guy can kill Jing Feng alone to bear the consequences, can share the rare beast nucleus he painstakingly obtained with them, can be enraged to the extreme and kill Jiang Hui and Jing Hao for his friend, and can even risk his life to climb up the Tian Kuan Cliff to rescue him. 

Without much time passing, Han Man could clearly feel that his body was recovering rapidly. The pain in his sternum was gone, replaced by a tingling sensation that felt somewhat like a numbness. It was as if the broken bones were regenerating. 

And Jingyun also noticed Han Man's change. The bruises on his face quickly regained their healthy color, causing Jingyun to open her mouth in surprise and secretly remarking on the powerful effect of the medicine. 

"Sure enough, it's a magic elixir." Lin Feng naturally noticed Han Man's change as well and a relieved smile appeared on his face. 

"Han Man, you take your time to recover. I still have something to deal with and I won't be here with you any longer." 

Lin Feng said something and then took out the pill bottle again. He poured three pills into his hand and handed them over to Jing Yun, saying, "Jing Yun, you stay here to help take care of him. If his condition hasn't fully recovered, continue to give him these pills to take." 

"Alright, Lin Feng, don't worry. I'll take care of it." Jing Yun replied as she took the elixir from Lin Feng's hand. Then Lin Feng left this place. 

Fengyun Gorge, Death and Life Platform. Lin Feng followed Hou Qing behind, looking at the countless disciples of various sects around him. He had no idea what had happened here that had brought so many people together. 

Also, which elder is it that wants to see me? And for what purpose? 

"Lord, Elder Mo, Lin Feng has arrived." Hou Qing brought Lin Feng to the platform of the Death and Life Arena and respectfully addressed the person on the stage. 

This is Lord Nan Gong Ling and Elder Grandmaster Mo Canglan! 

Lin Feng's pupils slightly contracted. He never expected that the person who was going to meet him would be such an important figure. As he glanced around, he saw Chu Zhanpeng and the girl beside him, Lin Qian. At this moment, Lin Qian was looking at him with a cold smile on her face. 

"How could she be here?" 

"Lin Feng, do you know you have committed a crime?" A cold and oppressive pressure descended upon Lin Feng. Mo Ye's dark pupils glared at him, questioning Lin Feng. 

"Brother Elder, I don't understand." Lin Feng felt a chill run through him. Mo Ye, as an Inner Gate Elder, was so powerful. Even just an ordinary pressure from her was quite overwhelming for Lin Feng. 

"Didn't understand? You treat your juniors as inferiors and seniors as superiors, you injure your brothers and insult your elders. You are the disgrace and the scum of our Yunhai Sect, and you have disgraced our face as well." Mo Xie confirmed Lin Feng's guilt. After all, it was he who agreed to hand Lin Feng over to Chu Zhanpeng for handling. He had thought that Lin Feng was just an outsider of the sect and no one would care. But he didn't expect that the arrival of Duke of Great Peng would even rouse the sect leader's attention. 

In order to cover up his act of handing over the disciples of his sect to be dealt with by outsiders, he had to smear Lin Feng's reputation and then expel him from Yunhai Sect. 

"Shameful, scoundrel, disgracing the face of Yunhai Sect?" Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Lin Qian. In his heart, he began to understand somewhat. But what he didn't know was why Mo Ye, as a senior of Yunhai Sect, would stand by Lin Qian, an outsider. Although he, Lin Feng, was just an unknown outsider of the lower ranks, he was still a member of Yunhai Sect. 

"Why don't you say anything? Are you feeling guilty?" Mo Ye saw Lin Feng remaining silent and said coldly again. 

"Brother Elder, as soon as I arrived here, you had already laid the blame on me. I'm just an outsider's disciple, with little influence and no weight to speak of. Even if I were to tell others, it wouldn't matter much. Is there any point in my speaking?" Lin Feng calmly said, his words carrying a hint of sarcasm. 

"Arrogant!" Moye shouted. She never expected that Lin Feng's words would be so sharp. Despite the seemingly mild tone, there was a sting in them, hinting that this elder of the Inner Sect looked down upon the Outer Sect disciples and made hasty judgments. 

"As the elder of Yunhai Sect, I conduct affairs impartially. This brute doesn't even show any sign of repentance. Now he dares to contradict me, the elder himself. Lin Feng, do you realize your guilt?" 

"I won't say anything. You'll say I'm guilty because I'm being evasive. I'll speak up. You'll say I'm being evasive and defiant, and still guilty. I Lin Feng dares to ask the Elder a question: What kind of justice are you upholding? Who are you serving?" Lin Feng's eyes glowed with a fierce light as he roared, each word cutting to the core! 

As soon as Mo Xia arrived, she immediately laid out charges against him, calling him a despicable scoundrel who didn't know the difference between honor and disgrace. Then she insulted him as a beast. Lin Feng understood that the other party was clearly targeting him specifically. Whether he pleased and endured or fought back with all his might, it would be considered a crime. Since that was the case, why should he endure humiliation and keep silent? 

Facing the crowd of Yunhai Sect members, Lin Feng looked straight at Mo Ye without any hesitation.
