Chapter 171: Stand Off Between Two Sides
Shao Feng could not be bothered to waste his breath on them. “Where is Lin Bai? Tell him to get his ass out here and see me. He killed my son. Does he think that he can avoid this matter? The Law of Heaven is always in place. I’m going to make him pay with his life!”
Everyone looked at each other. The more they listened, the more confused they became. Why would Shao Feng suddenly say that Lin Bai killed his son.
Previously, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Shao Feng only announced to the public that Shao Yuchen had gone out to travel and that his return date was uncertain. Therefore, other than a few elders and higher-ups, no one else knew that Shao Yuchen had died.
At this moment, when they heard good Shao Feng say this, everyone was confused.
“Could there be some misunderstanding? Senior brother Lin has always lived in seclusion and rarely went out. He has never met your young master before. After that, he went to the Alchemist Association. No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible.”
The others also chimed in. They looked at Shao Feng and the others with eyes filled with confusion and anger, “Master Shao hurt people without even asking for the truth. He’s simply going too far. Even if we came from a small place, you can’t look down on us to such an extent.”
The Shao family’s disciples immediately ridiculed them when they heard this, “At least you know your place. You know that you came from a remote village. If it weren’t for the kindness of our Shao family that allowed you to come to the capital city, I’m afraid that you would only be able to live in a ravine for the rest of your lives.”
These words were a little overboard. Their words were filled with disdain and contempt for them. Even clay figurines had some temper, let alone them.
“The Shao family has shown mercy and is so kind to you. If you have any conscience and gratitude, quickly hand over the murderer! We’ll use Lin Bai’s blood to comfort our third young master’s soul in heaven.”
Many people who had received Lin Bai’s favor spoke up for Lin Bai. The atmosphere between the two sides could be said to be at daggers drawn, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
“You’re all slandering us. Without any evidence, you’re saying that our senior brother Lin is the murderer! You attacked us right from the start and hurt innocent people. To think that you’re actually such a well-educated and influential family in the capital city. You’re so arrogant and despotic. You’re unable to differentiate between right and wrong –”
The disciple was so angry that he shouted indignantly. He did not notice that the faces of the Shao family members were getting darker and darker.
As soon as he said that, a cold light flashed in the air like a shooting star. It rushed toward the disciple at lightning speed. No one saw clearly how Shao Feng attacked.
“Ah!”
A sharp sword wind blew in the air. A miserable cry was heard. A huge bloody hole suddenly appeared on the shoulder of the disciple. The long sword that was flashing with a cold light pierced through his shoulder blade. It was a chilling sight to behold.
Shao Feng’s expression was dark as he stared at the disciple who had just opened his mouth to speak. Blood was still dripping from the tip of the sword, and a bright red stream was dripping on the ground.
“You’re simply too noisy.”
No one had expected Shao Feng to be so fierce and attack without warning. He did not leave any room for others to fight. For a moment, those disciples were silent like cicadas in winter. They were like frightened quails that were shivering and did not dare to speak.
On the contrary, the Shao family’s disciples were gloating. “Continue talking. Weren’t you very arrogant and eloquent before? Why are you not continuing now?”
The disciple was seriously injured. Everyone hurriedly stopped the bleeding and transferred their spiritual power to him. For a moment, they did not have the time to refute. More importantly, they could not beat Shao Feng.
“I’ll say it for the last time. Tell Lin Bai to get out.”
Invisible energy spread rapidly in all directions with Shao Feng as the center. It was like a huge wave on the ocean that was about to drown everyone.
The pressure from the grandmaster level was not something that everyone could resist. They felt that all the bones in their bodies were crushed. They did not even have the strength to look at Shao Feng, let alone resist.
One of the disciples with a higher cultivation level could barely resist. He stood up and rushed over with an angry roar. “You’re going too far.”
Shao Feng did not even need to make a move. The disciple beside him revealed a contemptuous expression and looked at him as if he was looking at an ant.
“You’re overestimating yourself.”
The moment he finished speaking, his longsword flew across the sky and was about to land on the disciple’s body. However, the bloody scene that he imagined did not appear.
The Shao family disciple seemed to have been blocked by something. There were two invisible hands in the air in front of him and he could not advance any further.
Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He suddenly exerted force downward, but he was instead shaken by the force and fell back far away.
The disciple looked at his hands in disbelief. He did not know what had happened. He had actually become so powerful, but a deep male voice came from behind him.
“There’s no need for master Shao to make such a big fuss. Just look for me directly. There’s no need to hurt the innocent here.”
It turned out that it was Lin Bai who had attacked just now. The disciple immediately revealed a grateful expression. If it were not for Lin Bai, he would have been beheaded by now.
Shao Feng’s expression was ice-cold when he saw Lin Bai’s arrival. “You’re finally out. I thought you’d be a coward and not dare to come out.”
However, Lin Bai was calm and composed. “Have I done anything wrong? Why wouldn’t I dare to come out?”
Shao Feng became even angrier when he heard that. “You still have the nerve to say that! You killed my son, yet you still want to pretend that nothing happened. Do you really think that my Shao family is that easy to deceive? !”
Lin Bai revealed a puzzled expression. “Master Shao, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. Who’s your son?”
Shao Feng gritted his teeth and said, “Shao Yuchen!”
“Back then, he went on a trip to the Mystic Essence Mystic Realm and met with a tragic end. I’ve been searching for the murderer all this while!”
When Lin Bai heard the words Mystic Essence Mystic Realm, a figure appeared in his mind.
