There was complete silence.
In the field, only Emperor Shun's voice was still echoing. Everyone was stunned.
Even Lin Feng was slightly startled. His eyes fell on the Shun Emperor's face, and when their eyes met, Lin Feng did not see any complicated emotions in the Shun Emperor's clear eyes. That smiling face seemed to exude a different kind of meaning, and Lin Feng instantly understood.
At this moment —
"Haha ~ ~" Palace Master Ju Yan covered her mouth and laughed proudly.
Although she did not know why the Shun Emperor would vote in favor of this, the result was unquestionable.
4: 3!
'Yes' votes, victory!
This meant that her motion was approved. She had successfully kicked Lin Feng out of the game!
At this moment, King Lu smiled as if he had just survived a disaster. King Ju's expression did not change, but his eyes shone brightly. It was obvious that he was excited. On the other hand, King Yan's face was red. He stared at Shun with bulging eyes.
He did not understand at all!
The one who wanted to protect Lin Feng was Shun. The one who pushed Lin Feng into the abyss was Shun!
What was going on?
Clenching his teeth, King Yan suppressed his impulsive emotions.
He was very clear about his big brother's personality. Shun would always think carefully before doing anything, and he would never make any mistakes. His personality was very similar to Emperor Yao's. He would seek victory in stability, and he would never take any risks. If he were to sit on the throne, he would definitely be an emperor in a golden age!
But, why is that?
At this moment, Huang Lu and Ke Ke were very calm. It seemed that the result was not that important to them.
When the result was announced, the crowd was in an uproar.
"4: 3. Lin Feng is out?"
"In other words, Lin Feng is not qualified to participate in the final battle?"
"Didn't they say that Lin Feng was in cahoots with the Holy Lord of the Human Demon? It's better that he is eliminated."
"That's right. Instead of letting such a young warrior of unknown origin become the Lord of the Southern Region, it is better to let respected experts like King Yan and King Lu be emperors."
"I would vote for it too."
…
A heated discussion broke out.
When Lin Feng heard this, he understood everything that Shun had done.
This was a test for him!
Similarly, from the neutral standpoint of Emperor Shun, there was nothing wrong with voting for him. Most importantly, listening to the reactions of the people around him, he could tell that they did not trust him. There were too many people who were taking pleasure in his misfortune and doubting him. Even if he could enter the final battle, he would not be able to change their minds.
On the other hand, if he were to release all his negative emotions now, it would be tantamount to putting all the problems on the table.
This included the situation that she might face if she were to become the Empress in the future.
This was a chance for a 'simulation'.
"Are you trying to tell me that I can't trust anyone?" Lin Feng smiled faintly.
At this moment, there was an uproar. The heated discussion was accompanied by Palace Master Ju Yan's complacent smile. Everything seemed to have turned against him. However … he was no longer the ignorant brat of the past.
He was fully capable of handling such a situation, and he was qualified to do so.
Moreover, there was more than one method.
…
"My apologies."
"Rules are rules. They can't be changed."
Palace Master Ju Yan was like a proud peacock. She spoke coldly to Lin Feng.
The faint magnetic voice was exceptionally ear-piercing.
"Who asked him to be late!"
"That's right. There are rules in the competition."
"Accept your loss. Accept the result of the motion, brat."
…
There was a group of supporters behind Palace Master Ju Yan.
Many of them were Saints who admired her greatly, and some of them were members of the Orange Moon Palace. Even in the entire Southern Region, the Orange Moon Palace was quite powerful. There were as many as four Saints in the Orange Moon Palace, and this did not include Palace Master Orange Yan herself.
Four was already a lot.
It should be known that Saints usually came and went alone. They either lived in seclusion or cultivated in seclusion. They did not care about worldly affairs.
All the voices seemed to be against Lin Feng. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Feng, including King Yan and Emperor Shun. They were still smiling faintly, as if they were watching a good show. They were waiting to see how Lin Feng would handle it.
If he could not even handle such a small problem, how could he lead the entire Southern Region?
Lin Feng smiled faintly. His eyes shone brightly as he looked directly at Palace Master Ju Yan. That sharp soul aura caused Palace Master Ju Yan's expression to change slightly. Her voice inexplicably sharpened. "What do you want to do?" Her aura weakened slightly. The two Saints of the Orange Moon Palace behind the Palace Master of the Orange Moon Palace also looked as if they were facing a great enemy.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn.
The surrounding Saints all opened their mouths wide as they looked at the situation in front of them in horror.
What was going on?
Could it be that Lin Feng dared to directly attack in front of so many people? This was too disrespectful. There were more than 200 Saints here, and Emperor Shun was also present. If Lin Feng dared to attack, it was undoubtedly provoking the entire Southern Region!
He dared to do so?
"It's actually very simple." Lin Feng finally opened his mouth. There was a faint smile on his face, but the words he said shocked everyone in the area.
"If you die, wouldn't the pros and cons be even?" Lin Feng's voice was soft, but it made a sound. His eyes were burning. Almost instantly, a devouring fire appeared in his right hand. "I almost forgot. You were the one who proposed the motion. If you die … the motion will be nullified."
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Emperor Shun's eyes lit up with surprise. At this moment, Palace Master Ju Yan's face was already green and white. Her delicate body trembled slightly. "You, you!" Her voice was stuttering. Now that she was face to face with Lin Feng, she could feel that terrifying aura. It was so powerful!
Even though there were more than 200 Saints around her, Palace Master Ju Yan only felt cold all over. There was not a single helper around her.
She was completely alone and helpless.
Step! Step! Step!
Lin Feng's pace was not fast, but it was very steady. He approached Palace Master Ju Yan step by step.
It was as if a demon was slowly approaching. Palace Master Ju Yan felt an inexplicable fear. She felt a chill down her spine. The fire in front of her became more and more ferocious.
Provoking fire!
As he walked slowly, the devouring fire in Lin Feng's hand had already changed color. The Star Source Energy was tightly wrapped around it. The phoenix mark on his forehead was already shining brightly. His radiant eyes were completely locked on Palace Master Ju Yan. The surroundings were silent. Everyone was completely shocked.
Especially King Lu and King Ju. Their expressions were extremely ugly.
Without the lips, the teeth would be cold. At this moment, the two of them were on the same side as Palace Master Ju Yan.
But, did they dare to move?
Like a taut bow, a slight move would be like a thunderbolt. The surrounding Saints did not dare to make a sound. If it were ordinary ancient martial art practitioners, they would have already rushed over. However, Lin Feng's aura was too terrifying. It shocked everyone. Only the crackling sound of the fire was left in the air. It was as if the fire of hell was burning.
What would Lin Feng do?
Would he … really dare to start a massacre here?
There was a huge question mark in everyone's heart. Their expressions changed continuously. Their hearts were in a mess.
Palace Master Ju Yan's face was pale. She kept retreating. The surrounding Saints all moved aside. It was as if this matter did not concern them. Only the two Orange Moon Palace Saints standing behind Palace Master Ju Yan looked terrified. However, they still firmly guarded Palace Master Ju Yan.
In an instant —
"Stop!" The Saint on the left behind Palace Master Ju Yan gritted his teeth and shouted.
Just as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura instantly descended. It was a ball of fire. It was as terrifying as a phoenix spreading its wings. It was condensed with the strongest Star Source Energy. Lin Feng's eyes shone with a terrifying light.
"Boom! ~" A terrifying explosion instantly erupted.
In an instant, the entire challenge platform was shocked. Everyone's eyes widened in horror.
Palace Master Ju Yan and the other Orange Moon Palace Saint dodged out of the way. The surrounding Saints also scattered in all directions. Boom! The violent explosion was deafening. The Orange Moon Palace Saint who had just spoken was instantly burned into nothingness by the blazing fire.
Not even his bones were left!
It was just, just one blow.
How terrifying!
Although he had just stepped into the Saint level, he was still a Saint level expert. He could not even take one blow from Lin Feng! Even if he used his strongest defense, he could not escape the fate of having his soul destroyed. His death was like a signal that deeply shocked everyone.
Lin Feng was not putting on an act.
He truly dared to stand against the entire Southern Region.
He had the strength, and even more so, the courage!
His cold face did not say a word, but the pressure he gave off was even stronger. In an instant, Lin Feng's hand lit up with the Devouring Fire again. Its color gradually changed. The brilliant Star Source Energy wrapped around the ferocious flame, causing the hearts of all the Saints to palpitate.
No one dared to make a sound. They were afraid that the terrifying flame would attack them next.
"Stomp! Stomp!" Lin Feng was still closing in. His gaze was fixed on Palace Master Ju Yan. Her beautiful face had already turned pale. Her heart was about to jump out of her throat. At this moment, the feeling of death was so close. Looking at the black-clothed youth in front of her, it was as if the incarnation of the Grim Reaper had arrived.
Although she was at the peak of the Saint level, Palace Master Ju Yan was not confident that she could survive in front of this terrifying Grim Reaper.
The most frightening thing was that no one would step forward to help her.
"Wait, wait!" Palace Master Ju Yan said in a panic.
Seeing Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up and the flame in his hand became even brighter, Palace Master Ju Yan was scared out of her wits. She quickly shouted, "I'm changing my vote to no. No, I'm canceling the motion just now." As her voice fell, everyone's eyes widened.
Palace Master Ju Yan was scared?
Everyone focused on her. Palace Master Ju Yan's face was pale. The surrounding gazes were full of ridicule and disdain. At this moment, she knew that she had lost all her face. Palace Master Ju Yan's face turned red as she looked at Lin Feng, who was still smiling faintly. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"I abstain." Palace Master Ju Yan lowered her head and gritted her teeth. Her red face was full of humiliation. In an instant, she jumped up and left.
She would only be a laughing stock if she stayed here.
