Chapter 248：Must fight

"All are up." 

Duan Wuyi waved his hand. Immediately, the crowd rose to their feet. But deep down in his heart, he couldn't calm down for a long time. The commander of the Imperial City's Imperial Guard, such an important position. To have it change hands, it did. It was as simple as that. 

From Duanyu's eyes, one couldn't even detect any sign of unusual color. It seemed that the position of the Commander of the Imperial Guard couldn't stir too much emotion in his heart. 

"Yu Ji, now that you are the commander of the Imperial Guard, you should know what to do, shouldn't you?" Duanyuanyi said again in a calm tone. 

Yu Ji gave a slight nod and then bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Highness, I will lead the troops to leave here and ensure the peace of the imperial city." 

"Well, go ahead." 

Duan Wuyi waved his hand. Immediately, tens of thousands of troops began to leave. Around the Jianshan Terrace, only the troops of the Jianle City remained. At this moment, no one could pose a threat to them anymore. 

The faces of Duan Tianlang and his son were extremely pale and gloomy. Duan Tianlang intended to kill Liu Canglan, but at the critical moment, Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye arrived here. Their timely appearance prevented everything from succeeding. Liu Canglan managed to escape alive. 

As for Duan Han, he wanted to get Liu Fei. He threatened Liu Fei with the life of Liu Canglan. If Liu Fei was willing to be with him, he might spare Liu Canglan's life and let him go. But Liu Fei hated him to the core. Not to mention becoming his woman. 

What undoubtedly depressed them even more was that Lin Feng, now the Lord of Red Blood, not only had his own fiefdom but also had taken over the position of the Commander of the Imperial Guard. Moreover, the position of the Commander of the Imperial Guard had been snatched away by Duan Wuyi. Today, he had been completely defeated. 

All of this is solely because of one person, Lin Feng. 

At this moment, the gazes of both father and son fell upon Lin Feng, their eyes filled with icy coldness. 

Lin Feng's gaze also shifted and landed on the two Zhang Tianlao brothers. His expression was filled with murderous intent. 

"Lin Feng, for this matter, let's just call it a day for now." 

Duan Wuyi sensed Lin Feng's cold-blooded and murderous intent. He whispered, "Duan Tianlao is the King of the Wolves. He is the Prince, his Uncle the Prince, and a member of the royal family of the Duan Clan. His bloodline is of the royal family, and it cannot be compared with that of Meng Han. If you want to kill him, go ahead." 

Killing Duan Tianlang is still far from the opportune moment and there is no excuse for it. 

"Well, Lin Feng naturally follows the orders of His Excellency. This matter is concluded here." 

Lin Feng gave a slight nod. The soldiers around sighed. "Duan Tianlao is still alive. Have all those tens of thousands of soldiers' blood been wasted?" 

Of course, they don't blame Lin Feng either. To have made it this far is already quite an achievement. Without Lin Feng, Liu Canglan would have been wrongly accused and killed, and they might have all been slaughtered as traitors. 

"However..." At this moment, Lin Feng changed the subject of his speech and looked at the father and son of Duan Tianlao, saying: "This matter is to be brought to an end here. But last time, Duan Tianlao, the King of Heaven Sea, led his troops to massacre the Heaven Sea Sect. The blood flowed like a river. I, Lin Feng, as a disciple of the Heaven Sea Sect, if I don't take revenge for this wrong, I would be a disgraced man. Therefore, the matter between me and the father and son of Duan Tianlao is not yet over." 

All eyes were stunned. This was not the end. Lin Feng, who used to be a disciple of Yunhai Sect, used this as an excuse and was not going to spare Duan Tianlao! 

"So that's how it is. Duan Tianlang led his men to destroy the Yunhai Sect. If Lin Feng were a disciple of the Yunhai Sect, this grudge would be even more intense than heaven itself. How could he forget the deep-seated hatred between him and Duan Tianlang? It's too deep-rooted to be easily resolved. When this reason is brought up, even Prince Duan Wanyi wouldn't be able to say anything. It's too sensitive." 

The crowd thought to themselves in their hearts, but they saw Lin Feng's gaze shift and turn towards the surrounding troops. Finally, his gaze fell on Ren Qingchang. 

"General Ren, please lead your troops out of the Imperial City and wait for me at the outer city. Once I finish this matter, I will come and look for you." 

Lin Feng said something to Ren Qingchao. Immediately, many soldiers shouted out. 

"We won't leave until the leader arrives. Until then, we'll stay here." 

"Yes, I'm willing to follow the leader." 

The Red Blood Iron Cavalry roared loudly, causing the crowd to shudder in their hearts. Lin Feng, so young, had already gained such prestige within this legion. This shows that the things he did had resonated deeply with the people. 

I'm afraid even without Liu Canglan's approval, they would have regarded Lin Feng as their general anyway. 

"Get out of here! Whoever doesn't leave is making trouble for me, Lin Feng!" 

Lin Feng gave a cold scolding, and at that moment, the gazes of the crowd suddenly became slightly fixed. 

"Sir Commander, thank you for your help." 

Lin Feng gave a cold glance at the crowd and finally turned his gaze towards Ren Qingchao. If they were still here, today's incident would still be tainted by Liang Canglan's hatred. Although the essence was the same - to take revenge on Duan Tianlao - Lin Feng needed to give an explanation to Duan Wuyi. 

Duan Wuyi released Liu Canglan and bestowed upon him the title of Grand Magistrate. He also bestowed upon him the title of Red Blood Marquis. All of this was done to make sure that this matter would be buried and forgotten. Even if Lin Feng was still so stubborn about it, it would be a source of humiliation for Duan Wuyi. 

Therefore, he came up with an excuse, namely the one about the total destruction of the Yunhai Sect. So this legion had to leave. 

"OK." 

Ren Qingchán nodded. He fully understood Lin Feng. With a wave of his hand, Ren Qingchán shouted, "All the troops, listen to my command. Follow me out of the city." 

Speak up! Ren Qingchao turned his horse around and walked slowly away. Although the people in the crowd were reluctant to see this, they did not disobey Lin Feng's words. The sound of the horse's hooves echoed as Ren Qingchao rode off. Before long, this legion of several tens of thousands of people vanished from the people's sight. 

The space seemed to become much emptier in an instant. 

Around the area of the Battle of Generals' Heads, only Lin Feng, Meng Qing, the crowd of Chi Hua Tianjian, as well as Duan Wuyi, Duan Xinye, and Duan Tianlao and his son remained. 

At this moment, Duan Tianlang's eyes narrowed and he stared at Lin Feng with a sinister look. This kid, he still wouldn't give up! 

Duan Wuyi never expected that Lin Feng would be so determined. However, Lin Feng said that Duan Tianlao had destroyed Yunhai Sect, and as a disciple of Yunhai Sect, he had a right to take revenge. 

"Lin Feng." At this moment, Duan Wuyi called out to Lin Feng and made him turn his gaze. Then, Duan Wuyi said, "Lin Feng, Tianlang King, is the King of Tianlang, and is more prestigious than the position of the Marquis. You cannot interfere with it." 

"I know." 

Lin Feng gave a slight nod, causing Duan Wuyi's gaze to reveal a hint of confusion. Since he knew this, then Lin Feng, what exactly does he want to do? 

"Your Highness, Sky Wolf King, he is the Prince Regent, of high status and exalted rank, so naturally I would not offend him." 

Lin Feng said indifferently, causing the crowd to be even more puzzled. 

However, Lin Feng continued to say: "But in the past, the former Heavenly Wolf King led his son, Duan Han, to massacre the Yunhai Sect. Duan Han was extremely arrogant and self-centered. When he fought against me, he claimed that he couldn't even withstand my one sword strike and humiliated me. Now, here is the young Prince Duan Han, and I, Lin Feng, have already been ennobled as a marquis. I should be qualified to have a conversation with the young Prince, shouldn't I? Here, I, Lin Feng, would like to ask the young Prince for your advice." 

When the crowd heard this, they immediately understood that Lin Feng's target was not Duan Tianlao but Duan Han. 

Lin Feng, challenge Duan Han. 

However, nowadays, Duan Han would never dare to take on the challenge. Looking back on the past, when he first entered Yunhai Sect, he was so imposing and majestic. But in the battle against Lin Feng, he still felt somewhat embarrassed. 

Today, Lin Feng is already far more powerful than him. He has even lost the courage to fight against Lin Feng. 

Only to see Duan Han's face look pale and his gaze fixed on Lin Feng. His face was pale, how could he dare to accept Lin Feng's challenge? 

"No need. I have something to do with Duan Han and no time for this." 

Duan Tianlang gave a cold reply. 

"Is there something?" Lin Feng sneered. "Lord Tianlao, you led your men to invade the Yunhai Sect. May I ask if the people of the Yunhai Sect have ever agreed to your plan to massacre them?" 

Duan Tianlang's eyes narrowed slightly. Ridiculous! How could he possibly agree? 

"Lord of Tianlang, after the princess was abducted and taken away, your men surrounded me. Even after you arrived, you still wanted to kill me. Have you ever asked me if I was available?" 

Lin Feng ignored Duan Tianlang and continued speaking on his own: "Moreover, King Tianlang, you and your son, driven by selfish desires, led tens of thousands of soldiers to their deaths, but you yourself fled at the critical moment and even slandered General Liu, demanding his death. After that, when you returned, did you ever ask the people of the world if they agreed with your actions?" 

Lin Feng's voice grew increasingly shrill. A cold and murderous intent gradually bloomed on his body. The usually calm Lin Feng, at this moment, finally released the surging rage. 

Only when one is powerful can one have the right to speak. There's no such thing as whether one agrees or not. 

Lin Feng stared at Duan Han, a sinister smile flickering on his lips. With an extremely cold tone, he said, "Duan Han, in the past, you led the Yunhai Sect. You were arrogant and overbearing. You fought me once, but that battle was not yet over. Today, I, Lin Feng, will return the favor. I invite you to fight me." 

Lin Feng's words ended, and he suddenly took a step forward. Challenge was just an excuse, a mere empty talk. Duan Han, you have to fight whether you want to or not. If you don't want to, you still have to fight. 

In the world of martial artists, martial arts reign supreme over everything.
