Liu Feng never imagined things would turn out like this.
He never intended to drive Lin Changâsheng out of the Sect.
"Lin Changâsheng, itâs not that I want to kill you, nor do I wish to expel you from our Sect, but all the major Sects have begun to pressure my Immortal Palace. If you werenât suspected of being an Evil Cultivator, our Sect would definitely protect you. But if you are an Evil Cultivator, how could we possibly keep you? My hands are tied!"
Liu Feng said with a grievance in his voice.
He just couldnât believe Lin Changâsheng possessed such terrifying power, to the point where even as a Middle Stage Mahayana cultivator himself, he was unable to handle him.
Clearly, the secrets hidden within Lin Changâsheng ran deeper than this.
To lose such a prodigy would be a tremendous loss for the Immortal Sect.
"You wouldnât believe me no matter what I say. Thereâs no need to explain further! Farewell!"
Lin Changâsheng had no desire to keep explaining. Since the other party was on guard against him, there was no point in staying here.
There were plenty of other factions that would want to recruit him.
Even if he left the Immortal Palace, heâd still have a good life.
"How bold! You think you can just leave after injuring a Sect Elder?"
Just as Lin Changâsheng was about to depart, a harsh shout echoed from afar.
Before the figure even arrived, the voice crashed in like thunder.
Lin Changâsheng sensed three powerful auras rushing toward him at great speed.
No doubt the commotion here had drawn their attention, prompting them to hurry over.
As the three figures landed before him, Lin Changâsheng recognized them as none other than the Three Great Elders of the Immortal Palace.
They were: Third Elder Liu Wuya, Fourth Elder Zhou Tong, and Seventh Elder Cao Yu.
All three were Middle Stage Mahayana cultivators.
With Xiaonanâs help, Lin Changâsheng could take on one, maybe even two at the Mahayana Middle Stage.
But to face all three at once would be difficult.
Lin Changâsheng contemplated setting up an array on the spot, but before he could act, the three figures had arrived in front of him.
The three stood in white robes, exuding a celestial and venerable aura as they hovered in the sky above, looking down on Lin Changâsheng, radiating superiority from on high.
The Third Elder, Liu Wuya, was the oldest, over six thousand years old. His hair was snow-white, but his chin was clean-shaven, giving him a very refined look.
Yet the power within him surged like a vast sea, and his gaze toward Lin Changâsheng seemed to slash with Blade Aura.
The Fourth Elder, Zhou Tong, appeared to be a middle-aged man, somewhat stout, usually stern and taciturn, and now looking even more severe.
The Seventh Elder, Cao Yu, wore a hairpin, his bearing lofty and commanding, emanating the air of someone looking down from above.
When the three saw Liu Feng wounded by Lin Changâsheng, their pupils involuntarily widened in shock.
Theyâd never have thought a mere inner disciple could defeat an Elder at the Mahayana Stage.
Such a thing had never happened before.
But then, catching sight of the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python spirit beast, they understood.
It must have been this powerful spirit beastâs help that enabled Lin Changâsheng to prevail.
"Lin Changâsheng, you really are audacious! The Sect has cultivated you with care, yet youâve wounded an Elderâyou are beyond arrogant!"
The Third Elder, Liu Wuya, was the first to chastise him sternly.
Such disrespectful and ungrateful people simply could not be kept around.
"Gentlemen, itâs a misunderstanding!"
Seeing the Three Great Elders about to step in, Liu Feng hurried to explain, "I was simply exchanging moves with Lin Changâsheng, only to find myself overpowered. Itâs not his fault!"
"Exchanging moves? You had to do it here? I say Lin Changâsheng clearly lured you here to ambush and injure you. Elder Liu, stop making excuses for him!"
Zhou Tong rebuked harshly.
Clearly, they didnât believe a word Liu Feng was saying.
"Elder Liu, move aside, lest you get hurt!"
Cao Yu also chimed in.
Hearing all this, Lin Changâsheng couldnât help but sneer.
This Immortal Palace is really something. They only believe what they want. No amount of explanation will make a difference.
"Trying to kill me again?"
Lin Changâsheng laughed coldly. Three Mahayana expertsâtheyâd be tough to deal with, but it wasnât as if they could kill him for certain.
"Do you really think you can escape?"
Liu Wuya snorted with disdain.
He didnât believe Lin Changâsheng could possibly escape from the three of them encircling him.
"I had no intention to fight, but if you push me, youâll have only yourselves to blame!"
Lin Changâshengâs tone grew cold as well.
With no other choice, Lin Changâsheng could only prepare to set up a Grand Array to battle the three of them.
While Xiaonan couldnât kill all three quickly, trapping them for a time was no problem.
As long as Lin Changâsheng could finish the Qiankun Array, not even Mahayana cultivators would escape alive.
"Such arrogant wordsâIâd like to see how youâre going to escape!"
Zhou Tong sneered.
An Integration Stage disciple thinks he can run from three Grand Elders? What a joke!
If he actually managed that, theyâd have no face left to show.
It would be a humiliating disgrace.
"Everyone, hear me out!"
As both sides were about to fight, Liu Feng interjected again.
"Stop! Weâre all from the same Sect. If we all end up wounded, thereâs no benefit for anyone. Lin Changâsheng is not an Evil CultivatorâI stake my life on it!"
Liu Feng repeated himself.
The Three Great Elders were surprisedâLiu Feng actually willing to bet his life that Lin Changâsheng wasnât evil?
So is Lin Changâsheng possibly an Evil Cultivator after all?
"No wonder you could injure Elder Liuâyou were practicing dark demon techniques! Today, weâre going to cleanse the Sect!"
Liu Wuya thundered in fury.
None of them had known thisâYu Qianxue had only ever told Liu Feng.
She had hoped Liu Feng would find out if Lin Changâsheng was an Evil Cultivator or not.
But after their exchange just now, Liu Feng was certain that Lin Changâsheng was absolutely not evil.
"If you want to kill me, then do it!"
Lin Changâshengâs eyes grew cold, murderous intent flashing within.
