"You — you —"
Pointing at Xuan Cheng and Ling Changfeng, Patriarch Zhen felt a stifling feeling that there was no place for him to vent his anger. However, he still listened to Xuan Cheng's threats in his heart.
He understood very clearly that with his strength, if Xuan Cheng and any of them wanted to kill him, he simply had no room to retaliate.
Seeing that Xuan Cheng was serious, Patriarch Zhen was short of breath.
It had to be said that the Four Elders s were extremely famous in the martial arts world.
Patriarch Zhen knew clearly in his heart that if he continued to stir up trouble, not only would he not seek justice for his son, he might even be bitten back by others.
Thinking about that, Patriarch Zhen opened and closed his mouth, wanting to scold Su Yun, but in the end he resisted. With a snort, he turned and sat on the guest chair at the side of the hall and did not say anything.
He wanted to see just how they would give him justice.
If the result made him unhappy, he would spread the news of this matter and ruin the Yuxu Sect's thousand years of reputation!
A few old men were making a ruckus here.
Shang Zifeng, however, had been listening silently with his eyes closed the whole time. He did not even glance at Patriarch Zhen as he listened to the situation unfold.
No matter how rowdy the scene was, how presumptuous the Patriarch Zhen was, or how he insulted him, his expression was neither warm nor cold, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
He only raised his head when he felt his master's helpless gaze on him.
As their four eyes met, Shang Zifeng could clearly feel the care and concern his master had for him, and he could also deeply experience the bitterness and helplessness his disciple had.
In the next moment, Shang Zifeng suddenly bent his knees, and "putong"
With a loud thud, he fell to his knees.
Snow Ball jumped out from Shang Zifeng's embrace and knelt beside Shang Zifeng. Its small head swayed as it stared at Xuan Cheng and Patriarch Zhen with a protective look, causing Ling Changfeng to not know whether to laugh or cry.
Patriarch Zhen watched as Snowball clenched his teeth, his fists clenching noisily.
Before Shang Zifeng had arrived, Du Ze had told the whole story of the conflict between Shang Zifeng and Shang Zifeng once again from the perspective of a witness. At that time, Patriarch Zhen was also present, and he had heard the whole story, and he also knew that Zhen Shuai's injuries were caused by the snowball.
However, he was the dignified Patriarch of a noble family, he could not possibly yell and scold a little bastard, right? That was why he threw all his anger onto Shang Zifeng, because in his opinion, Shang Zifeng was the main culprit.
Xuan Cheng could no longer hold back, he glared at Xuanyuan Guxing fiercely, and asked Shang Zifeng with a stern face, "Shang Zifeng, do you know your crime?"
This was not the first time Xuan Cheng questioned Shang Zifeng, but every time he replied "I don't know."
Today was the same, Shang Zifeng also replied "I don't know."
His tone was light and calm.
Hearing this, Xuan Cheng held his breath, as if he was extremely angry. He pointed at Shang Zifeng's face while trembling and panted heavily, not saying anything for a long time.
Seeing that, Ling Changfeng immediately raised his hand and pulled Xuan Cheng's arm back down.
Then he took over the conversation and got the initiative.
"Feng'er, today, Master is going to ask you something in front of the Patriarch Zhen, Elders and many fellow disciples. You must answer truthfully. "If there is a lie …"
"Disciple understands and will definitely speak without saying anything. If there is a lie, the heavens will strike and the lightning will strike, and one will die a miserable death. "
"Alright. I ask you, two days ago, did you have any conflicts with Zhen Shuai at noon? "
"Yes."
"Did you hurt him?"
"Yes."
In the blink of an eye, Shang Zifeng replied back with two questions and two answers.
This caused the temperature on the field to plummet. Even the disciples that tried to avoid it could feel a chill coming upon them.
Ling Changfeng squinted his eyes, he was about to ask further, but Patriarch Zhen, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly bellowed: Elder Xuan Ju, the situation is now clear, such a villain, how do you plan to punish him?! If you get in your way and it's not easy to take care of it yourself, I can take care of it for you! "
He also specially strengthened the "disposition".
Two words, he thought to himself, didn't you want to give me a perfect explanation?
Shang Zifeng pursed his lips. Seems like this old fellow wholeheartedly wanted him to die!
Since Shang Zifeng could hear the hidden meaning behind the Patriarch Zhen's words, naturally, he could hear it as well.
Ling Changfeng's expression did not change, his body remained as still as a mountain, and did not reply to Patriarch Zhen. Instead, he stared straight into Shang Zifeng's eyes, and pretended to be furious as he asked: "Since you have already admitted it, Master will not say anymore. It is only natural and right to kill someone for their own life. Do you have any objection to this punishment? "
"Smelly old man, smelly old man, it's the bad guy that my baby beat up, and also the bad guy that my baby bit down on, it's not Feng Feng who beat him up! "If you dare to let Feng Feng Feng pay for that bad guy's death, then this baby will scratch you to death!"
At this time, Snowball jumped to Ling Changfeng's feet and used his claws to pull at Ling Changfeng's shoes.
Although he could not hear the thoughts in Snowball's heart, from the looks of it, this little fellow was definitely complaining for his master.
Ling Changfeng sighed lightly, and carried it in his hands. He used his profound energy to suppress the craziness of the snowball, and used his actions to signal it to be patient;
When she felt the warmth of Ling Changfeng's profound energy, without a single trace of hostility, the snowball finally quieted down. It turned its head to look at Shang Zifeng, afraid that if it wasn't careful, his Feng Feng Feng would be taken down and dealt with.
Shang Zifeng was silent for a moment, then raised his chin, and said with a stern tone: "Disciple has something to say …"
Seeing that Shang Zifeng was about to give birth to some sophistry, Xuan Cheng and the Patriarch Zhen both frowned. The former scolded: "Evil creature, you still dare to quibble after what has happened, is this what your master taught you!? "I am not afraid of making a mistake, but I am afraid of not repenting even if I die even after making one!"
Snorting coldly, Xuan Cheng flung his sleeves, "How can there be a smelly fish like you in the Yuxu Sect, to stir up a pot of fish, your death is not worth regretting!"
Seeing how Xuan Cheng scolded him so harshly and even insinuated his wrongdoings at Ling Changfeng, the Patriarch Zhen endured his impulse to scold him.
Facing his son's death, Patriarch Zhen did not even have time to wait a second. Only when he wanted to make Shang Zifeng pay with his life, did he manage to vent his anger.
But he also knew that he couldn't be as impulsive as before.
Previously, he was certain that he had already killed his son and the Yuxu Sect had no choice but to lower his head, hence he dared to make a move against Ling Changfeng within the Virtual Hall.
But when he calmed down, Patriarch Zhen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, feeling a little afraid.
If during the battle just now, Ling Changfeng had killed him out of excitement, and then spread the word that he was the first one to come to Yuxu Sect and commit murder without reason, while Elder Xuan Ju couldn't just defend himself, that's why he mistakenly killed him, that wouldn't be worth it.
"Father, don't be angry. I believe in Brother Shang's character, there must be a misunderstanding! "Why don't we listen to Brother Shang's explanation first."
Hong Shan held onto Xuan Cheng's arm, and slowly consoled him with his words, afraid that his father, who had a violent temper, would get angry again.
"Misunderstanding?!" What misunderstanding? Now that the evidence is conclusive, what are you talking about a misunderstanding? Could it be that a dignified Yuxu Sect wants to brazenly shield a villain, so that my children won't be able to rest in peace and can't sleep in the netherworld? "
No matter how patient Patriarch Zhen was, after hearing Hong Shan's words, the only thing he had left was patience.
When he thought about how his own son, whom he raised, had died just like that, and his heart ached, Patriarch Zhen once again began to weep, and his hatred for Shang Zifeng rose to the heavens.
No matter what, he had to make Shang Zifeng pay for his son's life today!
