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.
Xiao Chen swung his sleeve and used the psychokinesis as the man was immediately caught by a mighty force. Xiao Chen looked carefully and only felt like he had not seen this man. He didn't remember when he had provoked this man. His face was full of murderous intent, and he thundered, "Who did you just say is the people of the Devil's Practice?"
The man wiped off the blood on the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Hey hey. You took people's Spiritual Meridians, so you are the people of the Devil's Practice? What? Are you going to kill me? You can stop me from talking, can you stop everyone in this world? Hahaha..."
"Shut the fuck up!" Xiao Chen was furious. He hated the Devil's Practice the most in his life. Thousands of years ago, he was framed for colluding with the Devil's Practice. At the moment, he was so pissed off that he gradually lost his mind. He raised his hand and was about to slap on the man's head in front of the crowd.
"Lil Chen, don't!" Just at this critical moment, a row of sword radiance came and blocked his palm force. The next moment, Yu Yifeng appeared in front of the man.
Yu Yifeng turned around and gave the man a cold look. "Who sent you here to talk nonsense?"
"Disciples of the Jade Qing Sect kills people at will. You are impressive! What a murderous intent!" At this moment, an energetic-looking old man slowly walked out of the crowd.
Yu Yifeng looked over and clasped his hands, saying, "It turns out to be Perfected Immortal Zhang. A pleasure to meet you."
The veteran was Zhang Qinglian from Penglai Island. Presumably, he bore a grudge against Xiao Chen since the last Immortals League Competition and Ye Wuhen's zither fight with Xiao Chen. Therefore, he had just ordered his disciple to use the secret sound technique to continuously incite Xiao Chen.
Zhang Qinglian laughed coldly. "You are being too polite."
Xiao Chen sneered. He had already offended Penglai Island, so he was no hush to offend again today. Suddenly, his eyes shone, and he took out the new loot, Blood Lotus Demon Blade, from his Divine Vessel with a clash.
The red radiance on the blade was still glowing. Xiao Chen pointed at Ling Yingfeng on the stage and said one word after another. "I did take your brother's Spiritual Meridians. What are you going to do to me?"
Ling Yingfeng's eyes narrowed, and his whole body was instantly filled with murderous intent. He said in a low voice, "Very well! Today, I, Ling Yingfeng, will do justice to my younger brother in front of predecessors!"
Xiao Chen laughed to the sky and said, "Justice? Ha ha! Your brother's life is a life, and mine is not, is this what you mean?!"
Ling Yingfeng swung his sleeve and instantly covered himself with a layer of golden Body-protection Qi. All the people took a gasp. It turned out that he also reached the Core Forming Realm.
"It is useless to say more! Come on up!"
Xiao Chen's murderous intent was also becoming heavier and heavier. He said in a low voice, "It's only a fight of life and death. There's no telling of victory or defeat!" With a stamp of his foot, several tiles were smashed. He flew to the stage as people nearby were shocked by his surging murderous intent.
Yu Yifeng wanted to persuade him back, but it was too late. Xiao Chen had already slashed at Ling Yingfeng. The red blade radiance was about 24 meters long, which was no less than He Chentian's. After sending out three or four strikes, the stage suddenly burst with stones and dust as smoke and dust covered the stage.
In fact, even if he had made many enmities all along, he had never thought of a complete wipe-out, nor had he deliberately retaliated against someone. Because he had always been worrying about his master, Ling Yin, and always wanted to find out the secrets of thousands of years ago. So, he had no time to take care of his enemies. However, this time, the Ling family had provoked him many times, which had completely pissed him off.
In an instant, the stage which was made of granite had been destroyed by more than half. The radiance on the stage kept flashing, and many people had retreated far away from it. Xiaoyue had already retreated to a distance. From the beginning to the end, she had not said anything. Because Xiao Chen had her sect's exclusive techniques, and there are too many secrets in him. She did not want to kill him for the time being.
As for Sikong Yun, he was discouraged and gave up on this. He could only let the two people fight for life and death. It's not a big deal because he could spend more money on an artisan to repair the square in these days.
The situation on the stage was intense. Xiao Chen aimed to kill with his every attack. Everyone under the stage had already turned pale. Even Ling Yingfeng did not expect Xiao Chen to make such rapid progress in cultivation. Xiao Chen had just fought with He Chentian, but now he could still wield such horrible power.
This made him angrier because he believed that Xiao Chen had refined his brother's Spiritual Meridians to achieve current strength. Thinking of this, he fiercely pushed the True Energy of his whole body, and the palm force formed a huge golden palm print in mid-air. It then collided with red blade radiance. Suddenly, heaven and earth lost color, and the entire stage started to tremble.
The shock wave stacked under the stage. Even those who stood far away felt the horrible power and strong murderous intent.
