Chapter 106: The Prodigy of the Duan Clan (2/2)

“We’ll have a big pot of the best wine that you have as well as your best tea, and some pickles.” ordered Lin Feng. Since Lin Feng was in that world, he hadn’t really tasted good food and drinks. At that moment, he had the opportunity so he seized it.

“Noted. Please wait for a moment.” said the waiter and left.

Lin Feng was listening to the other people’s conversations. Even though they were almost whispering, Lin Feng had the strength of the Ling Qi layer and his sense of hearing was thus extremely developed, and in general nobody would be revealing secrets in such a public place.

It seemed that everyone was only talking about thing: the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. Lin Feng also heard that some people were mentioning the crown prince and the second prince.

“Bro Han, you’re saying that the Yun Hai Sect has been annihilated? Who could benefit from the destruction of the Yun Hai Sect?”

At that moment, a conversation drew Lin Feng’s attention. Surprisingly, there were some people who were talking about the Yun Hai Sect.

“Well, the Yun Hai Sect and the Hao Yue Sect didn’t get along that well. It had been that way for several years already. The destruction of the Yun Hai Sect was thus a great reason to celebrate for the members of the Hao Yue Sect. The Ice and Snow Mountain Village, whose disciples all have an ice or snow spirit, as well as the Wan Shou Sect, whose disciples all have a beast spirit, could also benefit from it in a way because they will have more influence and attract more disciples. Besides, the Hao Yue Sect must be really happy now because they can clearly be defined as the strongest sect.”

“Hehe, Brother Han, you were right. So then Duan Tian Lang went to annihilate the Yun Hai Sect himself…That is the price to pay when you refuse to send outstanding disciples to the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue like all the other big sects did. Duan Tian Lang is really powerful.”

These people sounded proud and arrogant. They also seemed to be happy and excited about the destruction of the Yun Hai Sect. They were talking very loudly.

At that moment, many people stopped talking and started staring at them. These two people were laughing loudly while talking but when they noticed that almost everyone was staring at them, they stopped smiling.

“Ridiculous.” A voice filled the restaurant. Suddenly, everyone turned around and stared at the people moving towards the flight of stairs. Three silhouettes had appeared. One of them was a woman. She was extremely beautiful and was wearing very luxurious clothes. She also had a lot of jewellery made from precious stones all over her body and she was wearing a cheong sam. She was holding a soft black iron staff in her hand and she looked extremely domineering.

Behind her were two men who looked extremely calm.

“You are only a mouse who can only see an inch… yet still thinks it can perceive both the past and future. How ridiculous.”

Everyone was surprised by the woman talking so loudly. She shouted: “Young people don’t understand anything and never know when they should talk about certain things. Then they never want to bear the consequences of their actions and don’t want to be punished for their mistakes.”

“Face Slap.” said the woman. Immediately, an illusion appeared behind her back and slapped the owner of the voice who had just contradicted her. Blood was spilling out of the corner of his mouth.

“He only annihilated the Yun Hai Sect, that’s all. The big sects have all taken the techniques that the Yun Hai Sect used to have. Not only has it enabled a great deal of people to acquire great skills and techniques but it also helps other sects gain more influence. It is also a good thing for everybody that the Yun Hai Sect doesn’t have too much power in the country. Those who have been chosen to go to the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue will also be able to use some of those skills and techniques that they have taken from the Yun Hai Sect. Besides, there are also some former disciples of the sect who have betrayed it and can also use these skills and techniques. Nobody cares about the Yun Hai Sect.”

The woman was looking at the other man. That man didn’t look good but he kept listening to the woman and didn’t dare interrupt her or even refute her statements. Therefore, he only nodded wisely.

“Most of the sects accepted to send some of their disciples to the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, not because they were happy about the benefits it would bring to them but rather because they were scared of the consequences it could have. They were scared to end up like the Yun Hai Sect and vanish from the maps of the country. They all understood that there was no way out. That is why they accepted to help and destroy the Yun Hai Sect. That is how everything happened.”

“But even if the Yun Hai Sect has already been annihilated, it won’t last long before the other sects have to go through the same thing. In the Xue Yue Country, there can only be the Imperial Clan. There isn’t enough space for other spheres of influence especially when they have power. Sooner or later, the last group of people who will exercise authority in the Xue Yue Country will be the Imperial Clan.”

Lin Feng heard the woman say those things and laugh. What she said was partially true but was also too partial. It seemed like she was a supporter of the Imperial Clan.

“Since the Imperial Clan is so strong, why do they need to resort to such underhanded methods? Why do they need to annihilate sects if they are already so powerful?”

A voice spread in the atmosphere. Lin Feng was astonished. The one who had said that surprisingly was Jing Yun. She really took the woman’s words to heart and decided to contradict the woman.

The woman slowly turned around and stared at Jing Yun. She smiled coldly and said: “You are right, anyone who contradicts them should be annihilated… like what you’re doing now…..”

When the woman finished talking, a soft black iron staff shadow appeared and moved straight towards Jing Yun’s cheek.

When Lin Feng saw that that woman was attacking Jing Yun, his pupils shrank and he was staring at that rude woman. Lin Feng then said to the woman: “She only said that randomly. Are you not overreacting a little bit?”

“There are some things which cannot be said. If someone says such things, they have to pay the price for it because most of the time, people who say such things are worthless.”

The woman was coldly looking at Lin Feng and continued: “You! you don’t have the qualifications to talk that way either.”
