Chapter 023：Shadow of terror

侯庆用另一只手捂住了断臂,掌​​心鲜血狂喷,景象十分恐怖,再加上他那张狰狞的面容,更是显得恐怖无比. 

"你运气真好."侯青阴险的看着林枫,他此刻还是不认为林枫有实力战胜他,一定是林枫运气好,挥剑之时,正是他无法抵挡的时刻.不光侯青这么认为,很多外门弟子也是这么认为,他们不相信废物林枫,一剑就能打败侯青. 

"你是说你运气好?"林枫一愣,随即笑道:"或许吧." 

"下次,我不会再给你们机会了."侯庆缓缓地朝人群走去,一只手臂被斩断,伤势严重,需要立即救治. 

"但愿不会再有下次了."林枫在心中摇头,侯庆竟然没能战胜他,连他自己都想不通,他相信,那只是因为林枫运气太好了,这样的心态,让他以后再也赢不了林枫了. 

"连一个执法者都敢伤害,看来在你们的眼里,云海宗根本就不存在啊."莫邪又对林枫说道. 

林枫看着莫邪,冷笑一声,"你想控告我,根本不用费心找借口,按照你的想法,是不是应该让他断了我的胳膊,然后把他逐出云海宗,以示我对云海宗的尊重?长老你很少不觉得这件事本身很可笑吧!" 

林枫把长老二字说得很重,要不他阻拦,他就要被逐出宗门了,可在这里,他还要装作对云海宗一无所知,林枫很佩服莫邪,能说出这样的话,真是了不起. 

"主人,我可以说句话吗?"林枫没有再看莫邪,真正有决定权的人,是南宫凌. 

南宫凌眼中露出一丝兴趣,他确实对林枫很感兴趣,自始至终,他不卑不亢,心平气静,修武就是要有这样的心态. 

"说吧."南宫凌点头. 

"Master, I was summoned here. As soon as I arrived, I heard the elder condemn me, saying that I committed a heinous crime and was a disgrace to the sect. I tried to defend myself, but the elder insulted me, saying that I was rebelling against the elder and that he would cut off my arm and expel me from the sect. I would like to ask, is the sect's condemnation based on the elder's judgment alone? Is the sect's law enforcement solely determined by the elder's words?" 

Lin Feng's sharp words spewed out of his mouth, causing the crowd to mutter among themselves that this guy was really crazy. 

"Bold." The powerful aura pinned Lin Feng down. Mo Ye was eager to kill Lin Feng right there and then. 

"I'm not bold enough, and I'll be excommunicated and expelled from the sect. Why don't I be bold for once? I really want to ask the elders where my sins come from." Lin was calm and fearless, facing off against Mo Ye. 

"Animal, you injured your brother and insulted your elders. Don't you realize that?" Lin Qian shouted coldly. 

"Ah, so that's how it is." Lin Feng sneered. "It seems that the Elder passed judgment on me based on what she said." 

"Even so?" Mo Xie's murderous intent was growing stronger in his heart. Even if Lin Qian and Chu Zhanpeng were not on bad terms with Lin Feng, he would still want Lin Feng dead. 

"Ha ha, since the Elder has admitted it, I'd like to ask the Elder in front of the Patriarch whether you, when you listened to her and decided to condemn me, refused to listen to my defense. Are you the Elder of Yunhai Sect or the Elder of Hao Yue Sect?" 

"Such a sharp-tongued fellow! He even dared to insult me, the elder of the Inner Gate. Now I'll wipe out your cultivation and clear out this place!" Mo Xie had reached the end of his patience. If Lin Feng continued to speak, his authority as an elder would be completely ruined.

"Enough!" Lin Feng shouted, his voice echoing through the cave. "I won't tolerate such nonsense! You can't even say a word more!" The cave echoed with his angry shout. "Enough!" Lin Feng shouted, his voice echoing through the cave. "I won't tolerate 

"Whether justice is served or not is a matter of public opinion. I'm just an ordinary disciple of the Outer Sect. If you want to get rid of me, just do it. There's no need for any groundless accusations." While speaking, Lin Feng's gaze remained fixed on Nan Gong Ling. 

If Nan Gong Ling stops Mo Ye, he will still be a disciple of Yunhai Sect. If Nan Gong Ling allows Mo Ye to disqualify him, he will reveal the matter of the bells and drums blocking the cliff. But even if he survives that, he will no longer be a disciple of Yunhai Sect. The sect has no use for me, so why should I need a sect? Lin Feng doesn't have such submissive thoughts in his bones. 

Everything is within the realm of Nan Gong Ling's thoughts. 

Mo Ye's footsteps drew nearer and nearer. 

Nan Gong Ling noticed Lin Feng's gaze and his own eyes were also fixed on Lin Feng. 

" This lad has a resolute will and mind. In the face of such a perilous situation, he remains calm and composed. Moreover, he has a good natural talent. In a few years, he might be able to enter the Inner Gate and even become a core disciple." 

"Mo Ye was a senior member of the Inner Sect. He was quite accomplished in martial arts and had a good natural aptitude. He could still improve in the future. Although he was at fault for the incident today, he was a senior member of the Inner Sect. Moreover, he is the son of Mo Canglan." 

In this instant, Nan Gong Ling thought of many things. As the leader of a sect, he had to distinguish the pros and cons of any matter. If it was beneficial to the sect, he would do it; if it was detrimental to the sect, he would not do it. 

Of course he knew that the fault lay with Mo Ye. But the problem was that if he stopped Mo Ye, it would be like damaging Mo Ye's dignity. This would make Mo Ye hold a grudge. Besides, he couldn't ignore Mo Canglan's face either. After all, Mo Canglan was the senior elder of the sect and had made great contributions to Yunhai Sect. 

In comparison, a potential Lin Feng still seems rather insignificant. 

The silence of Nan Gong Ling made Lin Feng chuckle to himself in amusement, mocking his own ignorance. After all, he had merely defeated Hou Qing, the tenth-ranked student of the Outer Sect. He was still an Outer Sect disciple, while Mo Ye was an Inner Sect elder. How could Nan Gong Ling do anything to damage Mo Ye's reputation for his sake? 

Only when one has strong internal strength can one avoid getting oneself into a dangerous situation. 

"Stupid fellow!" Mo Xie was not far from Lin Feng. Her cold and icy voice directly reached Lin Feng's ears. On his face, there was a cold and menacing sneer. Just an ordinary disciple of the outer sect dared to oppose him? How reckless he was! He had no idea how to die. 

"Lin Feng is done for." The crowd murmured to themselves. But this guy got what he deserved. 

"Too bad. We can't kill him ourselves." Lin Qian gave a cold smile. This ending was somewhat unexpected for her. But it was the same. Lin Feng was doomed to die anyway. 

The overwhelming force pressed upon Lin Feng. His hair stood on end and his lips parted as he was about to speak. But just then, the chilling sensation that had been locking him in place vanished abruptly, leaving no trace. 

"Um?" Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, somewhat surprised. How could this chill suddenly vanish? And it vanished so completely. 

莫邪距离林枫并不远,然而就在这时,莫邪的脚步却停了下来,他的瞳孔疯狂的放大,仿佛看到了什么不可思议的事情,与此同时,一股难以抗拒的压迫之力,降临在他的身上. 

就在许多人疑惑莫邪为何停下来的时候,南宫凌和莫沧澜两人却是面色一僵,露出了惊色. 

"那是..."林枫目光死死的看着莫邪,同样的,他的眼中,也闪过一丝强烈的震惊,几乎不敢相信自己的眼睛. 

"没什么."林枫瞪大了双眼,目光紧紧的盯着莫夜,那里有一道影子,形状如同人形,而且可以移动,就算莫夜不动,这道影子也会动. 

这是一个影子,一个真实的人的影子. 

但可怕的是,林枫只看到了影子,却没注意到人在哪里,根本就不知道这个影子到底是谁的. 

不光林枫注意到了,众人也注意到了,他们看到了莫邪和宗主的异常,也注意到了莫邪身上的影子,或者说,是阴影. 

"回去吧!"一道嘶哑的声音不知从何处传来,只听声音,不见人说话. 

这诡异的一幕,让不少人浑身冒冷汗,那道凭空出现的身影,深深的震撼了众人的心.
