The smile of Dongn Buju froze on his face, and he abruptly stood up.
"What?! Escaped?! Ling Wudeng, what's going on? This is unlike you—letting a re Lin Fan slip away. Why did you let him escape?!"
His voice exploded like thunder, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Clan Leader, it's my fault." Ling Wudeng didn't offer any excuses; after all, Lin Fan did indeed escape from his grasp, making it his responsibility.
"An apology is enough? Why didn't you pursue him?! Quickly, go and bring Lin Fan back. I want to see his head today."
However.
Ling Wudeng did not reply, nor did he move.
He stood with fists clasped, head bowed, motionless and silent.
His attitude further fueled Dongn Buju's anger to a burning rage.
I am the dignified leader of the Heavenly Clan, and you're ignoring , refusing to answer my questions. Are you showing a face?!
Thinking of rebelling, are you?!
Moreover, with all eyes on him, the other clan leaders were watching, making him feel utterly disgraced.
Dongn Buju's eyes seed to explode, his face reddened with bulging veins, and his cheeks twitched uncontrollably with violent anger, terrifying in its intensity!
The clan leaders watched in shock.
No one expected Lin Fan to escape from Ling Wudeng's hand—whether it was due to his strength or sheer luck.
The Heavenly Clan had failed to kill their target for the first ti ever.
Hence, everyone found it hard to believe their ears, and even harder to believe it was done by an unknown young man.
Upon hearing the news of Lin Fan's escape, Mo Ningxiang felt a mix of emotions, both sorrowful and joyful.
Joyful because Brother Lin Fan was safe, and her worried heart was finally at ease.
Sorrowful because Brother Lin Fan couldn't co up the mountain to save her, and from Ling Wudeng's tone, it seed that Brother Lin Fan was injured.
She pondered over his condition, whether he was okay, and if his injuries were serious.
Mo Ningxiang's mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Fan, completely forgetting she was still stuck in captivity, unable to break free.
She wondered whether Brother Lin Fan would co back...
She thought quietly, feeling sowhat disappointed.
But suddenly, she wished she could slap herself.
How could Brother Lin Fan abandon her?!
This was absolutely impossible!
How could she think like this, how could she not trust Brother Lin Fan!
Since Brother Lin Fan knew she was on the mountain, restricted in freedom, he must be very anxious, more than anyone else wanting to rescue her.
He will surely co back.
He definitely will!
In her mind appeared the image of Lin Fan, severely injured but still desperately trying to climb the mountain, instantly making her teary-eyed. Tears like pearls were unstoppable.
She cried like a flower in the rain, heart-wrenching.
"Ling Wudeng! What do you an by this!"
Dongn Buju gritted his teeth, spitting the words out viciously.
Silence.
Like falling into eternal night.
Ling Wudeng still did not answer.
Finally.
He glanced around before slowly speaking, "Lin Fan was rescued."
"Rescued?!"
Dongn Buju was stunned, no wonder Ling Wudeng didn't continue pursuing.
It seed he had a fierce battle with the rescuer, lost the fight, and retreated.
Suru Continent—soone dared to oppose him, such audacity.
"Who? Who dares to challenge , Dongn Buju? The person I want dead was rescued—are they tired of living?"
Dongn Buju's face fell, becoming extrely unpleasant.
His position and authority had been repeatedly challenged—first Lin Fan and Mo Ningxiang, and now a mysterious figure has erged.
Now, none see the Heavenly Clan or Dongn Buju as significant.
Arrogance.
Too arrogant.
To dare rescue soone right under his nose.
Dongn Buju twisted his neck, joints cracking, his eyes filled with brutality and murder; a terrifying aura erupted from him.
"If I don't act, do you think the Heavenly Clan is a soft target, easy to handle? Tell who rescued him, I'll make them regret their decision today. Rember, all who want to oppose , Dongn Buju—they'll face to the end!"
Chaos!
Complete chaos!
Since Lin Fan appeared, the atmosphere of Suru Continent had subtly changed, and people seed indifferent to both him as the Heavenly Clan leader and the entire Heavenly Clan.
An inexplicable feeling, it seed they lost the control, dominance, and deterrence they once had.
Without killing so chickens, do these monkeys really think they can topple the Heavenly Clan?!
Lin Fan!
Lin Fan is the main culprit!
He cannot be allowed to remain, must be removed!
Dongn Buju raged internally, his face alternating between green and white.
"Who rescued Lin Fan, speak."
Ling Wudeng drew a deep breath and slowly uttered a na.
"The Fifth Sword Emperor."
Gasp!
Gasp!
The crowd was in an uproar!
Including Mo Ningxiang, everyone was stunned, shocked.
Even Mo Ningxiang didn't expect the Fifth Sword Emperor to intervene!
The clan leaders thought it even less possible, mouths agape, jaws practically hitting the floor.
Reclusive, the Fifth Sword Emperor has reerged in the world, just to save a re boy?!
This world has gone mad.
It's known.
That the Fifth Sword Emperor is a presence independently apart from the Twelve Ancient Clans.
Never joined any Ancient Clan, except maintained so connections with Xuan Clan's Mo Chen, aloof and solitary.
Even Dongn Buju never bothered the Fifth Sword Emperor's tranquility.
His swordsmanship divine, the Cloud Shadow Sword unknowingly claiming countless heads, soaking in much blood.
Once young and competitive, now he lives indifferent to world affairs.
Still unexpected.
Indeed, unexpected.
The Fifth Sword Emperor was willing to act to save the life of a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor, wielding the Cloud Shadow Sword once more.
"How would the Fifth Sword Emperor take action for such a boy?"
"I can't understand, they seem unrelated, how could they connect?"
"I heard the Fifth Sword Emperor has a daughter, could it be related to her."
"It's said that Diwu Yun'er was injured recently, not sure why."
The clan leaders conversed in confusion, completely baffled.
Mo Ningxiang, knowing Lin Fan and Diwu Yuner's relationship, hadn't anticipated the Fifth Sword Emperor would intervene.
Provoking Dongn Buju and the Heavenly Clan is a significant ordeal, not just requiring courage.
Even risking one's life.
However, with Lin Fan and the Fifth Sword Emperor together, they should be fine.
Mo Ningxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Fifth Sword Emperor..."
Dongn Buju's voice was low and hoarse, muttering the na with venomous hatred, growling like a beast.
"Why ddle...tricking , Dongn Buju, for sport—it seems enjoyable, yes. I'll join in the fun, letting you know Suru Continent remains under Dongn Buju's rule!"
Dongn Buju's voice suddenly elevated, hysterically roaring with evident intense agitation and fury, nearly smoking from every orifice.
"Taking the tiger's silence as weakness—a sick cat! Haha, fascinating...fascinating..."
His mismatched eyes flashed with cold cruelty, and the varied color of his pupils made them eerie and fearso, chilling to behold.
The attendants couldn't help but gasp, thinking to themselves. Dongn Buju was truly angry, suggesting Suru Continent would soon face a real storm of conflict.
