"Calm down. Or else you will die from anger later."
Ling Xian teasingly smiled, implying something.
"Are you threatening me?" Ning Feng asked darkly.
"You can interpret it that way. All in all, I will not let you get what you want." Ling Xian spoke softly. Though his tone was calm, it was determined.
Originally, he didn't want to interfere. But this person had crossed the line. He was obviously cheating. What did he think of the other participants? Plus, there was already a grudge between them. He didn't mind suppressing this person's arrogance.
"Haha, what a joke. You?" Ning Feng laughed in disdain. He might as well go all out.
"You will know after you try."
Ling Xian glared at him, "Let's begin the last round."
"Okay, I will make you lose all face."
Ning Feng smiled coldly and said, "The last round is very simple. Every participant will refine a talisman, and the ten judges will cross-examine it to decide the champion."
"It really is simple and the easiest to be manipulated."
Ling Xian silently snickered. Ning Feng was powerful inside the tower and all the other elders followed his lead. In other words, Ning Feng had five votes in his hand. Even if his side was united, the most they could get was a tie.
His side, however, might not be united.
"Second Luo Xue, you don't need to make another one. Just use this talisman."
Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards Second Luo Xue, "You don't have any objections, right?"
"No … I don't have any objections. I will listen to you."
Second Luo Xue shook her head. Her little hands gripped onto the corner of her robe and she appeared very nervous. Where was her arrogance?
"No need to be nervous. It's not like I will eat you." Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. Then, he waved his hand and the talisman flew into his palm.
"Ah, okay, I am not … not nervous."
Second Luo Xue couldn't even speak properly. Every time she remembered how she tried to take Ling Xian as a disciple, she felt like a joke and wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Whatever, do what you want."
Ling Xian smiled helplessly and tossed the talisman to Ning Feng, "Take a good look. I am not asking the people you choose to make a talisman that surpasses this one. As long as it is similar to this one, I will kneel and kowtow to you."
"You said it."
Ning Feng sneered, and the rest of them also revealed complacent expressions.
There was indeed a shady deal in their group, but Ning Feng's grandson, Ning Zhe, was a real talent. Ling Xian also said that they didn't need to surpass him and that they only needed to be about the same. Naturally, they thought that they would win for sure.
However, Ning Feng's expression changed when he saw the talisman in his hand.
This made the others frown. They took the talisman from his hand and then, without exception, all of them remained silent.
No matter how bad their characters were, their attainments in the Dao of Talismans were at the Grandmaster Realm, so they were naturally able to discern the profundities of this talisman. Moreover, they were very clearly aware that besides Ning Zhe, the others they'd chosen were all idiots.
Not to mention refining a talisman that was similar to this talisman, he couldn't even refine half of it!
Therefore, they all remained silent. Then, they shifted their gazes towards Ning Feng, questioning him.
In the face of their silent questioning, Ning Feng revealed a bitter expression.
He knew that although his grandson's attainments weren't bad, it definitely couldn't compare to this talisman. Because of this, he naturally felt bitter.
But in the next second, his bitterness turned into arrogance.
Without shady deals, capabilities were the deciding factor. But with shady deals, relationships were the deciding factor.
So what if this talisman could win? Ning Feng firmly believed that as long as he doesn't agree, nobody can win. In other words, if he opens his mouth, he can definitely send his grandson to the winning seat!
He coldly snickered, "It's just so-so. My grandson's talisman is much better than this one."
"Is that so?"
Ling Xian smiled. He had seen the talismans Ning Zhe and the other competitors made. At most, they were 70% as good as this talisman. He believed that Ning Feng and the others knew this as well.
What he was saying was just him being stubborn.
"Do what you want. After everyone is done, I want to see what else you have to say." Ling Xian said softly, feeling too lazy to talk to Ning Feng.
"When that happens, you will be the one who has nothing to say."
Ning Feng smiled proudly. He had already made up his mind that even if Ning Zhe's talisman wasn't as good as this one, he was going to send him to the winning seat.
The others had obviously realized this as well. Though they felt that this was risky, they remembered that the leader of the tower was in isolation and they didn't care anymore.
If the leader of the tower didn't show up, Ning Feng would be the sky of the tower!
At this time, the other nine competitors finished making their talismans and handed them over to the judges.
Ling Xian merely glanced over them and relaxed. Because none of them could threaten the Second Luo Xue. Even Ning Zhe's talisman couldn't compare.
This made Ning Feng silently sigh. Though he knew the result, after seeing that his grandson's talisman wasn't as good as the Second Luo Xue's, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But in the next second, the disappointment disappeared and was replaced by arrogance.
"My grandson's talisman is better."
Ning Feng didn't care about his face anymore. He shifted his gaze towards the four elders beside him, "Don't you agree?"
Hearing this, the others nodded their heads in agreement.
This made Ling Xian frown. Everyone else frowned as well.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Ning Zhe's talisman couldn't compare to the talisman made by the Second Luo Xue. Everyone else couldn't even compare. Yet Ning Feng was lying through his teeth. How shameless was this?
How arrogant was this?
"Lying through your teeth. It looks like you plan on being unreasonable and ignoring the rules." Ling Xian's expression was dark and his anger was rising.
He originally thought that Ning Feng wouldn't play any tricks in the last round. After all, this was the finals. If he played any tricks, then he would be a little too gutsy.
But at this moment, he realized that he underestimated Ning Feng's shamelessness and underestimated his arrogance!
It was obvious that this person wanted to cover the sky with one hand and was overbearing. Why wouldn't Ling Xian be angry?
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not? "
Ning Feng had a victorious smile on his face, "We have five votes, no, six votes."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards an elder in black.
This person was from the group of independent Talisman Masters. Seeing Ning Feng's gesture, he couldn't help but to silence. After a while, he nodded, "I also think Ning Zhe's talisman is better."
"Bullsh * t!"
Elder Wu's lungs were about to explode from anger. He didn't think that at this critical moment, someone on his side would change sides.
Ling Xian didn't think this would happen either.
He didn't think Ning Feng would be so arrogant and reckless. He also didn't think the elder in black would change sides. But now, it was too late to say anything. Six votes against four votes. There was no suspense about who would win.
"Haha, fight against me? You are too young! "
Ning Feng laughed arrogantly. Ning Zhe also revealed a proud expression. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of mockery.
At this, Ling Xian's expression was calm and unfazed.
However, those familiar with him knew that this calmness was the sign of him going berserk!
