Staring coldly at the dumbstruck crowd, Lin Qing coldly snorted but remained silent.

However, Lin Qing's cold snort woke Huang Shan from his stupor. Looking at Lin Qing's somewhat cold expression, his body trembled and he quickly knelt down: ”Sir, please forgive me. Please forgive me. Please forgive me.”

Thinking of this, everyone was shocked. They hurriedly knelt down and said in a terrified voice, ”Your subordinates did not recognize Mt. Tai and disturbed the Branch Lord. Please punish them.”

Wu Yan, who was barely supporting his body with one hand, instantly turned pale when he heard Huang Shan's words. He looked at Lin Qing with an expression of disbelief.

Lin Qing's gaze also intersected with Wu Yan, cold and emotionless, causing Wu Yan's heart to feel even colder.

Lowering his head, Wu Yan bowed and said with a miserable voice: ”Vice Branch Lord Wu Yan greets Branch Lord Lin. Wu Yan knows his mistake, but please punish him.”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Qing coldly snorted and did not say a single word. The entire atmosphere in the room instantly turned silent. This silence caused everyone to tremble with fear, but no one dared to make a single sound.

After a long, long time, Lin Qing gave a cold snort and said, ”All of you, stand up. If there's a next time, you won't be able to wait any longer.”

When everyone heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief. Unknowingly, cold sweat had already appeared on their backs. As the breeze blew, everyone felt their bodies turn cold.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lin Qing was expressionless as he shook hands with them. Just a small action from him was enough to make anyone tremble in fear.

If Wu Yan stood up like this, Lin Qing would definitely not let him off, and Wu Yan seemed to know this kind of situation, knowing that his punishment had not yet arrived, how could he dare to stand up?

His steps were light, but there was no sound. He slowly arrived in front of Wu Yan, looking down at him with a majestic voice.

”You are the deputy chief of Red Leaf Town.” Lin Qing said in an emotionless voice. When Wu Yan heard this, he was filled with shock. The power to kill was in his hands, so he was unafraid.

”Helmsman is wise. Your subordinate is Red Leaf Town's Deputy Helmsman Wu Yan …” Sensing Lin Qing's gaze, Wu Yan lowered his head even lower.

”Hehe …” ”This is the place where the rudder is divided. It is truly a miasma. As the leader of this division, this is how you manage it.” Lin Qinghuan looked at the entire room and coldly said.

”Your subordinate is guilty, your subordinate is guilty.” Wu Yan's body trembled as he hurriedly said.

With a cold snort, he looked at Wu Yan and Yi Yan once again. Lin Qing coldly said, ”From today onwards, you will relinquish your position as Vice-Lord and will no longer be the Branch Lord.”

Hearing this, Wu Yan could not help but raise his head and say, ”The position of vice division leader is given by the sect leader …”

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Lin Qing's eyes. With a smile on her face, she looked at Wu Yan and said, ”Vice Division Chief Wu is not convinced.”

When their gazes met, Wu Yan's entire body felt a chill. Fear grew in his heart as he hurriedly bowed his head and said, ”This subordinate dares not.”
