"Lin Feng, you're the victim, what do you have to say?"

After the hall quieted, the old man imdiately looked toward Lin Feng, his voice slowly carrying across the main chamber.

"I'm nothing but an ordinary junior disciple. Even if I wanted to deal with Xiao Yan however I pleased, nobody would listen."

Lin Feng waved his hand, then added, "However, if the elders make a decision, this junior will naturally accept it."

Hearing his words, the old man fell silent for a mont. Then his gaze swept the hall. Just as he was about to speak, his words were cut off by another voice.

"Accept it? You also stole Xiao Yan's things. In that case, you and he should both be expelled from the Pill Tower and never allowed to enter Holy Pill City again, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi imdiately sneered. With this, she wanted to see how Lin Feng would dare watch Xiao Yan suffer heavy punishnt. At her words, the others' brows all knit slightly.

Xuan Yi's intention was obvious—she wanted to bind Lin Feng and Xiao Yan together so Lin Feng would be reluctant to push for severe punishnt against Xiao Yan.

Lin Feng naturally guessed the malicious intent behind her words.

Still, he calmly replied, "If that is the decision of the elders, this junior accepts it. Then do as Elder Xuan Yi proposed: expel both Xiao Yan and from the Pill Tower and never allow us into Holy Pill City again. If either dares to enter and is discovered, anyone may execute them, and no one shall retaliate!"

"You—"

His reply completely threw the Three Leaders and Gu Xun'er for a loop. Before coming here, they had already agreed to strongly condemn Lin Feng at the eting for stealing Teacher Xiao Yan's relic.

Then they had planned to forcibly equate the two n's offenses so Lin Feng, worried about his own interests, would not continue to stir trouble over the matter.

Normally, Lin Feng should have been terrified of being expelled and losing access to Holy Pill City. So how could he now gladly agree and even speak like this?

Even the other elders were stunned for a mont before coming to their senses. When Xuan Yi made that proposal, they had expected Lin Feng to back down. They never expected Lin Feng to respond this way.

"Elder Xuan Yi, what's wrong? Did I already accept your proposal? Why that expression?"

Seeing that no one answered, Lin Feng stepped forward and looked at Xuan Yi.

Although this maneuver was clever, unfortunately for him, he was a transmigrator who had read the original story. Thus he knew how desperately Xiao Yan desired the different fla.

If he did this, the Three Leaders and Gu Xun'er would never agree. Of course, even if they did accept, he could temporarily abandon his plan during this period and concentrate on cultivating his wife.

Then he could have his wife obtain the Three Thousand Burning Fla herself; it wouldn't make much difference.

"You!"

Xuan Yi could not possibly accept such a proposal. She knew very well how much Xiao Yan wanted that Three Thousand Burning Fla.

If they truly agreed to Lin Feng's suggestion, then when the Pill Gathering began, Xiao Yan wouldn't even be able to step into Holy Pill City a single step.

If at that ti Xiao Yan openly walked in, wouldn't that truly grind the Pill Tower's face into the dirt?

Thinking of this, Xuan Yi felt a furious itch in her teeth—how could she let this scoundrel get away with it?

"I was originally an outsider and it's not convenient for to speak up, but such a punishnt is indeed a bit too harsh."

Seeing the situation in the hall, Gu Xun'er spoke up appropriately, "How about this, Lin Feng, return to Xiao Yan what you took from him. As compensation, I will have Xiao Yan give you a pill formula of at least five-colored eighth-tier pill You weren't seriously injured in that ambush anyway; this compensation should be enough."

"Miss Xun'er makes a reasonable point. Lin Feng, I think we should do it this way. We're all fellow sect mbers; there's no need to make things so awkward."

When Gu Xun'er spoke, Xuan Kongzi imdiately chuckled and followed.

"In that case, next ti I will gather strong fighters and try my best to kill Xiao Yan. If I succeed, I'll take everything. If I fail, I'll accept this compensation, and Xiao Yan shall not take any more of my things, how about that?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng spoke calmly

"You dare!"

The mont Gu Xun'er heard him, she stood up like an enraged lioness, her voice sharp with fury.

Hearing her angry roar, Lin Feng couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, replying icily, "What, when Xiao Yan did it, you thought it was fine. But when I do the sa to him, suddenly it's forbidden? Playing double standards now, are we?"

"We're all fellow disciples of the sa sect. Stirring up trouble like this and making everyone unhappy—what's the point?"

Seeing his attitude, Tian Leizi frowned and spoke.

"Since Elder Tian Leizi knows that this kind of ss makes everyone unhappy, then why not ask the real instigator—Xiao Yan? His actions have disgraced the Pill Tower and made all of us unhappy. Tell , is that aningful?"

Lin Feng knew that reconciliation with the Three Leaders was impossible by this point. So he didn't bother showing them any respect and directly retorted.

"Then what exactly do you want?"

Seeing that Lin Feng refused to yield, the anger Xuan Yi had just barely suppressed surged back up once again.

"What do I want? I should be asking you that instead. The three of you refuse to punish the real culprit and keep targeting , the victim. What do you want?"

After being provoked again and again, Lin Feng's temper flared, and his tone grew increasingly sharp. The other elders were all stunned that Lin Feng actually dared to talk back to the Three Leaders like that.

However, many of them secretly agreed with his words.

"In that case, let's follow the old rule and settle this by vote."

The old man thought for a mont before speaking.

"Honored Elders, please wait a mont."

Just then, Gu Xun'er suddenly spoke up.

"Miss Xun'er, what is it?"

Seeing her interrupt, the old man frowned slightly.

Allowing her to attend this eting had already been a major concession. Yet this outsider was now repeatedly interfering in Pill Tower matters. Still, when he considered her identity, he forced himself to ask calmly.

"Honored Elders, our Gu Clan once had an alliance with Xiao Yan's ancestors—we vowed to protect his bloodline. If sothing were to happen to Xiao Yan today, how would our Gu Clan explain ourselves to his ancestors in the afterlife?"

Seeing that the situation was turning against Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er imdiately invoked the ancient alliance between the Gu and Xiao Clans.

After all, she knew most of the Grand Elders present were already displeased with Xiao Yan's actions. If they proceeded to vote, their side would almost certainly lose. That was why she had to step forward to stop it.
