Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xue Jianfeng's face turned red. Seeing that Lin Yi's murderous intent was getting stronger and stronger, he had no choice but to clench his teeth and cripple his left arm.
"This … this should be enough …" Xue Jianfeng said, enduring the pain.
"Scram. If there's a next time, you won't have to kneel." As Lin Yi spoke, he sent Xue Jianfeng flying with a kick in front of everyone. If this happened again, it would be Xue Jianfeng's death date. At that time, even if he didn't want to start a war with the center, he definitely wouldn't let this scourge live.
Xue Jianfeng retreated in a hurry with the help of Xue Liping. Everyone's attention once again fell on Lin Yi. Witnessing this scene, Hong Qingyuan and the others were shocked and in awe. They did not dare to have any other thoughts. This person was too terrifying!
"I am the sect leader of Snow Sword Sect, Hong Qingyuan. May I know your name, and what orders do you have for my sect?" Hong Qingyuan braced himself and asked on behalf of the crowd.
"My name is Lin Yi. As for my identity, I am now the grandmaster of the Blue Cloud Sect in the north island. You don't have to restrain me like this. I'm here to visit Leng Leng and Wu Qing. There's nothing else," Lin Yi answered casually.
Although they had already guessed it, hearing it from Lin Yi's mouth still shocked everyone. The way they looked at Leng Leng and Bing Wuqing changed a little, thinking to themselves that it was no wonder these two had improved so much in such a short period of time. It turned out that they had found such a powerful backer outside. This was incredible!
At this moment, the elders, including Hong Qingyuan, could not help but break out in a cold sweat. It was fortunate that they did not offend Leng Leng before. Otherwise, if they had been like Xue Jianfeng and called him a traitorous disciple, they would have followed in Xue Jianfeng's footsteps, or even worse. After all, they did not have Xue Jianfeng's strength.
If Xue Jianfeng was an ant in front of Lin Yi, then everyone present was not even an ant. They could only be regarded as dust …
"So it's the Martial Granduncle of the Blue Cloud Sect of the North Island. It's an honor to meet you. Please forgive us." Hong Qingyuan and the others hurriedly saluted to Lin Yi together. Their attitude was even more humble than that of the people of Green Cloud Sect in the north island.
Although they were from the Blue Cloud Sect in the north island, and had nothing to do with the Snow Sword Sect in the middle island, they should have the awareness of dust. Not to mention other aspects, at least they had to show their attitude on the surface.
"Ignorance is not a crime. Besides, I'm here as a private person, so there's no need for all these formalities." Lin Yi paused for a moment before saying, "As an outsider, I shouldn't be able to comment on the matters of your Snow Sword School. However, since it's related to Coold, I still have to ask. Is she a traitor disciple of your school?"
"Of course not," Hong Qingyuan and the others hurriedly denied.
"If she's not, then why didn't anyone stand up to stop Xue Jianfeng from treating her like this? Does the Snow Sword School not even have this basic rule?" Lin Yi frowned and said.
"This …" Hong Qingyuan and the others could only look at each other and smile bitterly. If they had the strength to stop Xue Jianfeng, they would not have allowed Xue Jianfeng to be so unscrupulous. But he was a Nascent Soul Old Monster, and even Bing Wuqing was seriously injured. What could they do?
"You're one of the ten small sects and families after all. It's a bit embarrassing for you to act like this." Lin Yi taunted them mercilessly. To be honest, he was suppressing his anger at the moment. Luckily, he happened to be here. Otherwise, if something really happened to Coold, Xue Jianfeng would naturally be the culprit, but these incompetent higher-ups of the Snow Sword School would not be able to escape the title of accomplice. At that time, the entire Snow Sword School would have to bear his anger.
"We've embarrassed ourselves in front of you, senior …" Hong Qingyuan and the others collectively sweated.
Although the other party's words were unpleasant, they indeed could not refute. No matter how powerful Xue Jianfeng's strength was, they were the actual decision-makers of the sect's affairs. According to the ancestral teachings, unless it was a major event that concerned the survival of the sect, the Supreme Elders could not interfere with the sect's affairs. Just from this point alone, the entire higher-ups of the Elders Guild were collectively derelict in their duties.
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't say this as an outsider, but Coold and I have a special relationship. I don't want anything to happen to her, otherwise …" He did not finish his words, but the meaning was clear. Lin Yi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I have a bit of a relationship with your Snow Sword School. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't want to make things unpleasant. Is that okay?"
"Yes, yes. We'll keep your instructions in mind, senior." Hong Qingyuan and the others hurriedly responded, but they were a little confused. This senior granduncle of the Blue Cloud Sect in the north island actually said that he had a bit of a relationship with our Snow Sword School. What did that mean?
Little did they know that the so-called relationship Lin Yi mentioned was actually with the Snow Sword School on the Heaven Island. After all, Sydney had stayed in the Snow Sword School before, and even Wei Shenjin was a member of the Snow Sword School.
Lin Yi was treated as a distinguished guest by Hong Qingyuan and the others. They were all extremely respectful, even more humble than when they were facing Xue Jianfeng. This not only showed that Xue Jianfeng's popularity was too poor, but it also fully reflected the philosophy of the Ancient Jianghu, which was to respect the strong.
On the other side, Xue Jianfeng, who had escaped a calamity, did not hide away to heal his wounds, nor did he go to find the glasses doctor and the others. Instead, he went straight to the forbidden area of the Snow Sword School, the snowy peak.
As one of the ten small sects and clans, the territory controlled by the Snow Sword School was naturally not small, and the snowy peak was the highest peak within a radius of a hundred miles. Strange mountains and rocks towered into the sky. The peak was covered in snow all year round, and the temperature was extremely low. Let alone ordinary people, this place was definitely a forbidden area for Foundation Establishment experts. Even the Golden Core experts could not last long.
This place was the activity territory of the Nascent Soul Old Monsters. Before the rise of Xue Jianfeng and Bing Wuqing, there was only one Nascent Soul Old Monster in the entire Snow Sword School, and that was the Grand Elder Yu Taicang.
Without Yu Taicang's approval, other than the Sect Leader Hong Qingyuan, no one dared to trespass the snowy peak. However, Xue Jianfeng clearly did not care about this little rule. He did not come before because he did not want to. After all, the environment on the snowy peak was so harsh, and it was better to be tyrannical down there than to come up and suffer. But now, the situation was different. Because of the existence of Lin Yi, this place was probably the safest place in the entire Snow Sword School for him.
Unless Lin Yi deliberately wanted to shed all pretenses of cordiality with Xue Jianfeng, he could not possibly barge into the forbidden area to find trouble with him, right?
