Palace Master Ju Yan's departure caused an uproar.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng, their eyes filled with shock and astonishment. They didn't know what this meant. Countless gazes fell on Shun, but Shun still maintained his calm smile, as if everything that had happened was just an ordinary dispute.
King Lu and King Ju's expressions changed, but they knew that they couldn't stop Lin Feng.
They were both smart people and understood the situation clearly. If they dared to cause trouble, Lin Feng would not hesitate to point his spear at them, just like how he pointed at Palace Master Ju Yan. This power struggle was like a miniature version of the Battle for the Emperor's Throne. The curtains had come to an end.
"I also forfeit," King Lu said slowly.
Lin Feng looked over and saw King Lu's apologetic smile. He smiled in his heart.
A wise man submits to circumstances. King Lu knew that he couldn't stop him, so he quickly retreated, trying to erase the bad impression he had. On the other hand, King Ju clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up, but didn't say anything.
Their personalities were different, so they handled things differently.
The motion was canceled.
Palace Master Ju Yan and King Lu's' forfeit 'meant that they had given up on the final battle of the Battle for the Emperor's Throne.
Among the people present, the one who knew Lin Feng's strength the best was neither the King of Flame nor Emperor Shun. It was the King of Lu, who was extremely observant. No one knew Lin Feng's strength better than him. Whether it was Lin Feng's feats in Nanlu or the battle where he defeated the Holy Lord of the Human Demon, he knew that Lin Feng was far stronger than him!
Rather than fight pointlessly, he might as well save his face and try to change Lin Feng's bad impression.
"I also forfeit," Huang Lu smiled and nodded at Lin Feng, his hands behind his back, his long hair dancing in the wind.
Since he had decided to stand on Lin Feng's side, he would follow through with his' attitude 'to the end.
Moreover, he was only an advanced Saint, so there was no need for him to get involved.
Instantly, only King Yan, King Ju, and Ke Ke were left in the field. The three of them were peak Saints, and they were also popular contenders for the throne. The eyes of the three of them flickered as they pondered. It was as if they each had their own ideas.
Lin Feng looked at Emperor Shun, who looked back at him and nodded.
They understood what he meant.
In an instant —
"Ta!" Lin Feng lightly stepped on the stage with his right foot. Amidst the crowd's shocked gasps, Lin Feng landed lightly on the stage. King Yan and the other two were slightly stunned, but they didn't know why. Shun, on the other hand, smiled and nodded approvingly.
"Come one by one."
"Or perhaps … there's no harm in coming together."
Lin Feng said indifferently. His black robes made him look extremely cold in everyone's eyes.
Even though he had a smile on his face, his' arrogant 'words caused one's heart to go cold. Combined with his unbridled slaughter from before, the impression of Lin Feng in the hearts of everyone had completely changed. Anyone who still saw Lin Feng as an ordinary person would be too stupid.
Cold-Blooded, bloodthirsty, and arrogant!
At this moment, Lin Feng had been branded in everyone's hearts.
Or rather …
This was the brand that Emperor Shun wanted to leave in everyone's hearts. It was also the most suitable 'temperament' that the ruler of the Southern Region needed to have.
"The third War of the Liches and Demons is about to begin."
"What the Southern Region needs is not a benevolent emperor like Emperor Shun, but a … killing god!"
"A powerful expert who dares to go against any force, who has absolute power and can ignore everything, to rule the entire Southern Region!"
Lin Feng's eyes were cold. He had already understood.
Emperor Shun had put in a lot of effort.
The first impression was very important. It affected everyone's confidence in him. Even if he became the ruler of the Southern Region, what was the use if he didn't have the support of the people? Just like Emperor Shun, although he had great prestige and had the support of King Yan and the other powerful experts, there were still too many voices of opposition in the Southern Region. Many forces were restless.
Strength was very important!
Tactics were also indispensable.
This was the path that Emperor Shun had carefully planned for himself. The path to becoming an Emperor!
"As expected of the strongest left hand that the Heavenly Secret Saint Lord recommended to me." Lin Feng's eyes sparkled. At this moment, a violent aura spread out. Since he wanted to be the bad guy, he had to show his attitude. He had to do it more fiercely and violently!
It didn't matter what kind of image he had in their hearts.
The most important thing was to firmly control the entire Southern Region. He didn't want voices of opposition like Palace Master Ju Yan's.
This was very important.
…
One against three!
Lin Feng was very arrogant.
However, he had the capital and strength to be arrogant.
None of the people present dared to question him. Even King Yan and the other two did not feel insulted at this moment. After the confrontation with Palace Master Ju Yan, Lin Feng's strength had been confirmed by everyone. He was indeed the real deal.
King Ju raised his head. He seemed to have something to say, but …
King Yan was the first to speak.
"I'll be the first one." King Yan laughed valiantly and jumped onto the stage.
With just five words, he completely rejected the plan of three against one. He was a straightforward person. He did whatever he wanted to do. Since he believed in Lin Feng, he would fight to the end. The reason why he didn't give up was because losing without a fight wasn't his style.
Even if Lin Feng was very strong, King Yan …
He still wanted to fight!
He wanted to experience it personally.
This was the firm will of a martial artist. It was the soul of a martial artist.
King Yan had this. Lin Feng also had this. He could feel it clearly and deeply. Looking at King Yan in front of him, Lin Feng smiled. Even though they didn't meet often, he had heard of King Yan's name since the first time he stepped into the Vermillion Bird Continent. He didn't expect to stand on the same level as him.
Times had changed.
"No need to show mercy, Brother Lin, Brother Lin." King Yan's eyes were burning. "If you want to fight, let's fight to our hearts' content."
"That's exactly what I want. Sorry for the offense, King Yan." Lin Feng's hand lit up.
Two streaks of flames lit up the stage.
A fierce battle!
…
…
Bang! There was a violent collision.
The two figures separated. King Yan's face was pale as he fell heavily to the ground.
On the other hand, Lin Feng stopped and floated in the air. The flame in his hand was still burning brightly. He looked down at the Flame King who was lying on the stage and didn't continue to attack. Hua! The flame was extinguished. Lin Feng's self state also disappeared.
The outcome was clear.
"I lost." King Yan covered his chest and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He stood up.
"You let me win." Lin Feng stepped onto the stage and cupped his hands.
"Haha!" King Yan didn't look upset at all. Instead, he laughed loudly. "What is lost is gained in the east. I didn't expect the little guy from back then to be so powerful now. With such a powerful person in the Southern Region, what do we have to fear? "
It was as if he was talking to himself, but it was also as if he was telling everyone.
King Yan was in a good mood. Although he had lost, he was still proud.
There was a lot of discussion around. Everyone had seen the battle just now. Lin Feng's strength wasn't fanciful. He defeated King Yan with absolute strength in less than three moves. This strength wasn't fake as Palace Master Zhu Yan had said. He had real strength!
"Everyone, don't listen to Palace Master Zhu Yan's provocation. This woman has ulterior motives!" King Yan shouted.
"Lin Feng is a citizen of the Vermilion Bird Continent. I, King Yan, have seen him improve his strength step by step. This person's talent is rarely seen in thousands of years. He's definitely a rare genius of the human race!"
"Also, I just realized that Lin Feng had used up a lot of his strength in the battle with the Holy Lord of the Human Demon. His soul energy is very weak." King Yan's eyes were burning. He looked around and patted his chest. "I, King Yan, swear with my life that Lin Feng has nothing to do with the Holy Lord of the Human Demon!"
Like a tiger roaring in the forest, King Yan's words made the Saints feel relieved. All the doubts in their hearts were dispelled.
In a split second, the Saints below all started to chime in.
"Palace Master Zhu Yan is so disgusting. She's spreading rumors for her own selfish desires."
"That's right. That woman used her beauty to distort the truth and almost caused us to fall into her trap. It's so satisfying to have our faces trampled in front of everyone. Serves them right!"
"Lin Feng is too powerful. He's injured but still so strong. King Yan was defeated in a single exchange."
"Of course. He's an expert who can defeat the Holy Lord of the Human Demon fair and square!"
"Tsk tsk, as expected of a rare talent."
… …
The direction of the wind had completely changed.
When Lin Feng heard the various discussions, a smile appeared on his face.
Bitterness comes after sweetness. If not for Palace Master Zhu Yan's meddling and Emperor Shun's painstaking arrangements, King Yan's promotion wouldn't have been so successful and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There was no need for him to open his mouth to clarify anything, nor was there any need for him to confirm anything. Everything was already clear.
He had to thank King Yan and Emperor Shun.
But before that, there were still two steps left.
King Ju, Ke Ke.
"I am not your opponent." Ke Ke's eagle-like eyes stared at Lin Feng. He said these words frankly and did not say anything else. His meaning was very clear. After seeing Lin Feng's true strength, Ke Ke directly admitted defeat. His straightforwardness, coupled with his vote against Lin Feng just now, instantly made Ke Ke have a good impression of him.
"I didn't expect him to be such a good person."
"Yeah, I thought that the Great Thief was a loner and acted in an evil way."
"After all, he only appeared briefly a hundred years ago and then lived in seclusion. We don't know what he's like."
"Yeah, he's a real man!"
… …
Everyone agreed.
The direction of the wind had completely changed. After the battle with King Yan, everyone was on Lin Feng's side.
Everything they thought and did was on Lin Feng's side. The change was huge. In comparison, the only remaining King Ju had become the target of public criticism. Under everyone's gaze, King Ju's expression was ugly. He couldn't advance or retreat and was in a dilemma.
He instantly became the focus of attention!
At this moment, Lin Feng was on his way to becoming the Lord of the Southern Region. There was only one obstacle left.
King Ju!
What would he do?
Lin Feng looked over, a bright light flashing in his eyes. However, he was also curious.
