The crowd turned around to see who was the owner of the voice. They then proceeded to split like the red sea for him to pa.s.s through.
Huang Huangfu Song glared at Li Chengfeng, the corner of his eyes began to twitch in anger as his face turned crimson red. Although it had only been a few days, the memory of his embarra.s.sment was still burning in his mind.
How was he so foolish to believe that this punk was the young master of the Zhan family?
Fireb.a.l.l.s of fury were almost shooting out of Ji Chunhua's eyes as she laid them upon
Chengfeng. She who had always been proud of her charisma and beauty could make any man move to the beat of her drum until she met Chengfeng, the King of Troublemakers. The humiliation she had endured left her gritting her teeth every time she dreamed of the embarra.s.sment he had caused her. She would skin him alive if she could!
When Grand Senior Brother laid his eyes upon Chengfeng, he was quite shocked. He subconsciously thought to himself, 'It seems all of these troubles had started in Cangjian Court from this Chengfeng's arrival.'
Qin Mieqin was in despair until he heard Chengfeng say what he said, those who were still standing on the platform seemed to be hesitating about leaving now. Having seen Chengfeng, Ouyang Nan gritted his teeth and was prepared to charge at him in anger. Qin Mieqin quickly blocked him and gave him a stern look. He then swiftly grabbed Grand Senior Brother's arm as he whispered, “It doesn't matter what happens, we must stand firm!”
Grand Senior Brother quickly snapped back to reality. He looked at Chengfeng with confusion in his eyes as he nodded. He then tried to convince the rest who still stood on the platform, “A brother disciple who had just arrived has decided to stay with us in such critical times, yet all of you who had joined the Cangjian Court for so many years…”
These disciples who still stood hesitantly on the platform did not leave because they felt a strong sense of reluctance in leaving. Hearing what the Grand Senior Brother had said to them, they immediately felt shame. Their resolve to continually stay in Cangjian Court solidified.
Chengfeng brought Yuehan and Xiaobao along as they stood behind Grand Master Senior, the rest who stood on the platform soon followed. Their final decision was now clear to see.
Huang Huangfu Song looked at Chengfeng as he gritted his teeth, almost losing his cool in front of everyone, but he didn't want to let anyone know about the embarra.s.sment that he had faced. Holding in his anger, he glanced towards Grand Senior Brother and said, “Grand Senior Brother, stop struggling. Do you want to lead them all to inevitable deaths too?”
Grand Senior Brother replied calmly, “Cangjian Court will not be destroyed under my care!”
Chengfeng looked at the Grand Senior Brother who stood all alone against Huang Huangfu Song, suddenly feeling a strong sense of empathy and pity towards him as something similar had happened to him as well.
Both of them were burdened with the heavy responsibilities of protecting their clans, facing the same danger of being in poverty and stripped of resources. Both of them also had to face an enemy that they could not defeat, holding onto the same belief and stubbornness of not accepting defeat! Not to mention, they both had a strong sense of pride and honour!
As he thought of this, Chengfeng looked in the direction of Grand Brother Senior, Ouyang Nan, Qin Mieqin, Qiu Chuqiu and An Tong, he no longer felt the strong sense of hostility towards them as before. They were just trying to protect their Cangjian Court. Not to mention that he only appeared after leaving Cangjin, if he were in their shoes, he would do the same as they did as well.
Huang Huangfu Song looked at Grand Brother Senior and sighed, “Grand Senior Brother, we joined the sect at the same time. However, you had cultivated the longest, not to mention you're the oldest, yet you still haven't made a name for yourself! Your abilities are the lowest among those of your age too! If I were you, I would have quit a long time ago!”
Grand Senior Brother was as calm as water, his eyes were determined as he spoke, “Us disciples from the Cangjian Court had never relied on just ourselves to fight, we are always united as we are stronger together! If you dare, try defeating our Heavenly Swords Array!”
Huangfu Song let out a guffaw, “With just you lot? With these weaklings? HA HA HA!”
Qin Mieqin calmly retorted, “Senior Huangfu, what's the use in talking when you can't walk the talk?”
Huangfu Song's expression immediately changed, he quietly let out a sound of disapproval and turned towards those who stood behind him, “Everyone, follow me. With only these few left, let them continue to rot along with Cangjian Court!”
Before Huangfu Song left, he suddenly turned his head to look at Chengfeng, giving him an insidious glare before nodding to him, as if he was greeting him.
Chengfeng's expression quickly turned distasteful, his mind screaming, 'This f*cker! He can't even leave without giving me a nasty look!'
Chengfeng glanced towards Grand Brother Senior and the rest, only to realise that Ouyang Nan and Qin Mieqin were looking at him with hostility and suspicion in their eyes.
But at this moment, all Grand Brother Senior could focus on was watching the former disciples of Cangjian Court leave the hall with Huangfu Song one by one. He couldn't have cared less about Chengfeng's ident.i.ty as he watched their silhouettes disappear, his heart filled with immense pain.
Only those like Qin Mieqin who was as close to the Grand Senior Brother would know how much effort that the Grand Senior Brother had painstakingly put into the Cangjian Court. But now, it seemed to be over for them.
Grand Brother Senior looked at those who stayed as he counted, including Chengfeng, there were only a total of thirteen people left.
This number gave Grand Senior Brother a quiver in his heart. Could this be fate? Why would there be precisely this many people left?
But, even if they had thirteen of them to form the Heavenly Swords Array, the exact number of people needed, what use would it do?
Cangjian Court… is finished!
