Chapter 128 (1/2)

He spoke this sentence very loudly, so that everyone present heard it clearly. Yu Yifeng’s brows furrowed tightly. “Brother Xiao, what’s the matter?”

Xiao Chen stood up, looked at Ling Yingfeng in the eyes, and said word for word, “Yes, I took the Spiritual Meridians of your brother Ling Yuxuan!”

Everyone’s faces changed. They had never thought this popular mysterious youth turned out to be a killer who took somebody’s Spiritual Meridians. Yu Yifeng turned pale, and his voice trembled. “Lil Chen, is what you said true? You really took Ling Yuxuan’s Spiritual Meridians…” His voice became heavier. Obviously, he was angry.

Xiao Chen turned around and gave him a glance. He felt a pain in his heart. Yu Yifeng was brought up by Perfected Immortal Qing Chen. He was educated to take the whole world as his own duty. Xiao Chen was also taught this in Mystic Cyan Sect back then. But now, was he going to fall into the Devil’s Practice step by step…

He didn’t speak and turned around. Facing numerous cultivators, Xiao Chen said calmly, “However, the fact is not as he said. That day I passed through Lingyun Citadel and stayed only for one day. I didn’t expect Ling Yuxuan to hunt me down with more than ten men for a hundred miles away…”

At present, he said exactly what happened at that time and didn’t mention Ling Yuxuan’s ill attempt to Luo Shangyan. At the moment, many people were quiet and thinking quietly.

There was no lack of smart men among these thousands of people. So, it was impossible for everyone to believe all the words of Ling Yingfeng. What’s more, people knew what kind of man Ling Yuxuan was and the means of Ling family. This upright young man would never take away people’s Spiritual Meridians for no reason. If Ling Yuxuan provoked him first, then he just did something extreme and didn’t commit any great sin.

The reason why Xiao Chen had so many supporters was that he attended the meeting with the Jade Qing Sect today. Also, his sentence “Even though the Immortal’s Practice has been declining, it is not up to you to destroy it!” in the fight with He Chentian expressed the feelings of everyone here.

Looking at the crowd gradually went silent, Ling Yingfeng’s face looked worse. At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded under the stage. “I don’t think so. Taking the Spiritual Meridians is the method of the Devil’s Practice. The Ling family is noble and decent. You said Ling Yuxuan wanted to take your Spiritual Meridian, what evidence does you have?”

Everyone looked around and did not see anyone utter a word. Then, the gray-robed old man, Ling Yuanshan got up and said, “The fellow was right. The Ling family had a history of nearly 1,000 years, and we had never had any contact with people in the Devil’s Practice. Yuxuan was even less likely to have the method of taking Spiritual Meridians. Is it too far-fetched for you to say that he wanted to take your Spiritual Meridians?”

Only Senior Sister Luo and he knew the matter of that day. But Senior Sister Luo was nobody, so her words weighed little, and it was useless for her to stand up and say something. Xiao Chen knew perfectly well that he could not argue with them now. He said, “Then let’s put this matter aside. Ling Yuxuan brought people to kill me, is that reasonable?”

If Ling Yuxuan did this out of hatred, which caused him to be taken Spiritual Meridians, it also made some sense. Some people present nodded, while some shook their heads. At the moment, people who still supported Xiao Chen mostly had a close relationship with the Jade Qing Sect.

At this moment, the strange voice rang again. “Hey hey! Then I would like to ask this. Since you are a disciple of the Jade Qing Sect, why do you have the method of taking Spiritual Meridians? Has the Jade Qing Sect degenerated into colluding with the Devil’s Practice?”

His words were really harsh. Many people had turned their heads to Yu Yifeng. Although not only the people of the Devil’s Practice could have the method of taking Spiritual Meridians, Yu Yifeng naturally needed to explain this since this matter was already related to the Jade Qing Sect.

When Yu Yifeng was about to talk, Xiao Chen swung his sleeves and said, “I am not a disciple of the Jade Qing Sect!” As soon as his voice fell, people booed. People supported him earlier for the sake of the Jade Qing Sect. But now that he said in front of the public that he was not a disciple of the Jade Qing Sect, those people could not defy the just cause of this world. Some even turned against him and directly turned to support the Ling family.

In fact, Xiao Chen also knew that the person in the dark was trying to force himself to say so. It seemed that person intentionally targeted at him. But every time the person finished speaking, his breath was gone.

Seeing the situation was going out of control, and someone was about to capture Xiao Chen, Yu Yifeng got up and said, “Brother Xiao is the disciple took by my martial uncles, Xiaoyao and Qingfeng, in the Human World.”

As soon as he finished speaking, those who were ready to move immediately withdrew. The Jade Qing Seven were all-powerful and invincible. Although Xiaoyao Zi and Qingfeng now lived in the Human World, Huashang and Yanluo had left the Jade Qing Sect, and there were only three out of seven led by Perfected Immortal Qing Chen, the title of Jade Qing Seven still shocked people present.

Ling Yingfeng sneered, “Hey hey. It turns out to be the close disciple of Qingfeng Zi and Xiaoyao Zi. What a great background!”

In fact, it was true. If Xiao Chen was just an ordinary disciple of the Jade Qing Sect, it was not enough to make people fear him. But if he was the disciple of Qingfeng and Zi Mo, it became another matter. People didn’t need to offend two of the Jade Qing Seven for Ling family. Besides, it was Ling Yuxuan who started unreasonably first.

At this moment, the strange voice rose again. “Hey hey! When did Zither Saint Qingfeng and predecessor Xiaoyao Zi command the method of taking Spiritual Meridians? Could it be that over the years, they have been meeting people in the Devil’s Practice?” The people looked over the voice, but still couldn’t find the speaker.

“Who is it? Get the hell out of there!” Xiao Chen finally became furious and sent out his True Energy. A mighty force spread out around him.

Qingfeng and Zi Mo had done him a favor. Someone slandered their reputation here, which was definitely not possible for him to tolerate. The overwhelming True Energy had spread out. “Puff!” Someone spurted out a mouthful of blood and took a few steps back.

Everyone was fine, and only this person was injured, because he was the one who spoke before. This person used the Secret Voice Technique to make sounds. He did not need to speak, but he had to consume True Energy. He was performing this technique, and his True Energy could not match Xiao Chen’s, so he was naturally injured.
