"Everyone, please rise." At this mont, Lu Chengfeng also collected all his casual and frivolous deanor, holding the Tao Seal in his left hand, he said harmoniously.
"Thank you, Taoist."
The crowd slowly rose from the ground, their gazes towards him sowhat complicated.
Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, I shall speak directly."
His gaze turned to Chu Zhihe, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and then glanced at the Tao Vein Elder, and spoke, "Everyone, although the True Monarch has descended, we have not yet completed the agreent we made before."
After saying this, Lu Chengfeng took a few steps forward and sat cross-legged on the Cyan Lotus Heart Inquiry Platform.
"Did you not want to inquire my heart upon this Cyan Lotus? Feel free to proceed."
These words instantly made the expressions of the many Tao Vein Elders turn extrely unsightly.
After a long silence, an elder stood out, "The Taoist speaks too seriously. Even the True Monarch acknowledges the identity of the Taoist, how can we act presumptuously?"
However, Lu Chengfeng was completely unmoved, "The True Monarch is the True Monarch; we are ourselves. After all, we had made an agreent before—are you elders planning to back out?"
"Or are you saying that you already foresee defeat and therefore wish to use this as an excuse to weasel out of the bet?"
Although his tone was calm, it pressed down on the hearts of all the Tao Vein Elders like a mighty mountain.
At this ti, other Martial Vein Elders also stepped forward, sneering as they said, "Previously, disregarding the truth, you frad and slandered, trying to bring the Taoist to his downfall."
"We witnessed this all first-hand. Had it not been for the descent of the True Monarch, who knows how many ans you would have used to defa the Taoist."
"Do you just want to let it go like this now?"
"Indeed, this matter must not be allowed to end so easily." Another elder stepped forward.
"Yes, you must give an explanation, otherwise..."
More and more Martial Vein Elders were standing up in support of Lu Chengfeng.
By the end, even the Martial Vein Hall Master Chong Shan chuckled sinisterly, "At such an old age, one’s word should be as reliable as a nail; can you still not keep your word?"
Among those present, besides Lu Chengfeng, he was the happiest.
Know that when they made the bet initially, Lu Chengfeng took Yi Mingshu’s slave contract.
Thinking about regaining his freedom soon after, he was so excited that his entire body trembled, unwilling to let these Tao Vein Elders default.
Seeing how everyone was pressing so hard, a young Tao Vein elder couldn’t hold back, stepping forward, "Don’t push us too far, Yi Wushuang... you..."
Slap!
A figure flashed by, and Chong Shan harshly slapped the person’s face, causing his cheeks to swell red at once.
"Do you think you can casually call the Taoist by na?"
"If you dare to act without regard for rules again, I don’t mind knocking out your teeth."
The young elder clutched his swollen cheek, his face full of sha and anger.
Another Tao Vein elder beside him held him back, sighed deeply, and bowed respectfully to Lu Chengfeng, "I don’t know what the Taoist ultimately wants us to do to let us go?"
Lu Chengfeng spoke in a light tone, "Elder, these words are a bit incorrect. Clearly, we agreed upon the bet in advance, how did it beco not letting you go?"
"As long as we all act according to the bet, I naturally will not press anyone."
"Now I am here on this Cyan Lotus Heart Inquiry Platform, if there are any doubts, you may ask."
The Tao Vein Elders all looked at each other, almost all of their faces turned extrely unpleasant. Now everyone believed that ’Yi Wushuang’ was frad by Chu Zhihe.
If this bet continued, they would have to acknowledge ’Yi Wushuang’ as the Tao Vein Hall Master, open all Tao Vein stores for him, and they must kowtow and admit their mistakes on the spot.
Facing such an outco, which they knew they would lose, naturally, they were unwilling to agree easily.
But if they don’t agree...
Looking at Chong Shan and the several Martial Vein Elders across with eyes like tigers...
Looking at Yi Mingshu, who was above, silently observing the matter...
Looking at ’Yi Wushuang,’ who was personally conferred as a Taoist by the Sect’s True Immortal...
They all felt an imnse headache.
"With the current situation, what should we do?"
Lu Chengfeng could tell just by looking at these old guys’ expressions that they didn’t want to honor their words. Otherwise, the whole storage of Tao Vein, even as the Sect’s Taoist, he couldn’t just pack everything away.
With this opportunity now, how could he just give up?
With this in mind, Lu Chengfeng directed his gaze at the unconscious Chu Zhihe, and said to Chong Shan, "Hall Master Chongshan, please awaken Elder Chu."
Chong Shan chuckled sinisterly, "Does the Taoist wish for her to fully awaken or just temporarily?"
Lu Chengfeng nonchalantly said, "Temporarily awake is enough."
Chong Shan, hearing this, without hesitation, slapped down, and mana spread over his palm like a mountain, heavily suppressing Chu Zhihe’s body and soul.
Her Primordial Spirit, numb from the thunder, was directly shaken awake.
Chu Zhihe slowly awoke, her eyes opening to see Lu Chengfeng.
Her face turned extrely crimson, "Yi Wushuang, I want you dead, I want you dead!"
She scread hysterically, her entire being falling into madness, recklessly crawling up from the ground and rushing towards Lu Chengfeng.
"Elder Chu, don’t act!"
"Stop at once..."
