Capítulo 1216: Chapter 52: Seeking Immortality on the Mountain (Part 2)

“Even if Tiansha Mountain falls into decline, we will never align ourselves with those cowardly sects that only seek profit and avoid danger!”

Fan Lin’s face turned cold, “Who are you calling cowardly?”

Kuang Chen sneered, “The grasslands are invading, and the Blue Patrol Pavilion is recruiting Jianghu people widely. How many did your Broken Blade Sect send to the border battlefield?”

This remark made the people around Fan Lin look somewhat unpleasant.

Not only the Broken Blade Sect, but their sects also did not send people to the Eastern Territory battlefield.

In contrast, even in its struggles, Tiansha Mountain still sent people to support the battlefield.

In this regard, the difference between the two sides was indeed clear.

“Tsk!”

Fan Lin spat in front of Kuang Chen, “You’re just trying to gain fame!”

“You of Tiansha Mountain are merely trying to curry favor with the Blue Patrol Pavilion and cling to the court’s coattails. What, planning to become the court’s lapdogs in the future?”

Hearing this, Kuang Chen’s eyes suddenly turned blood red. He stepped forward and roared in anger:

“Nonsense!”

“Since the founding of Tiansha Mountain, our disciples have always chosen to train in the grasslands. Whenever there is a battle in the Eastern Territory, Tiansha Mountain always sends disciples to support the border army!”

In fact, Tiansha Mountain had been supporting the border for so many years, and they should have long formed a deep bond with the Eastern Border Army.

But generations of Tiansha Mountain Masters were reluctant to get too close to the court, fearing the disdain of fellow Jianghu people.

Otherwise, if the Eastern Border Army were strongly supporting them now, Tiansha Mountain wouldn’t be so struggling.

“For over a hundred years, how many Tiansha Mountain disciples have died at the border? How dare you insult them?!”

Kuang Chen pointed at Fan Lin, “Draw your blade, for this insult can only be washed away with blood!”

He issued a life-and-death challenge to Fan Lin!

A hint of panic flashed in Fan Lin’s eyes.

He was just a Fifth Tier Tao Foundation Stage martial artist, surely no match for Kuang Chen who had been at the Tao Foundation Stage Peak for many years.

“Hahaha, does Master Kuang have to be so aggressive?”

A Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artist who came with Fan Lin stepped in to mediate.

“Yes, Master Kuang, Hall Master Fan just misspoke. Why be so serious?”

“Master Kuang, after all, this is the Yuhua Sect. It may be inappropriate to resort to violence here.”

“…”

Everyone urged for peace.

Kuang Chen looked at these people, veins popping on the back of his hands.

He was confident of defeating Fan Lin, but he had no way to deal with everyone at the same time.

If Fan Lin was determined not to fight, there was nothing he could do.

Fan Lin looked at the angry Kuang Chen with satisfaction on his face.

Although they were in the same realm, Kuang Chen’s status and position had always been far above his.

Such public humiliation today made him feel a sense of pleasure in trampling the strong.

“Master Kuang.”

A gentle voice spoke beside Kuang Chen.

He turned around, suddenly finding someone beside him.

Clad in golden robes, both noble and sharp.

A young face, yet it instinctively made one feel calm and reassured.

“Marquis Jing’an?!”

Kuang Chen looked astonished and quickly saluted.

Fan Lin and the others were also startled.

But thinking that no one would dare impersonate Li Fei at the Yuhua Sect, they quickly paid their respects:

“We greet Marquis Jing’an!”

Among them, Fan Lin, who had just been mocking “court lapdogs,” shouted the loudest and bowed the fastest.

Li Fei didn’t turn to acknowledge Fan Lin and others. He helped up Kuang Chen, softly asking:

“Tiansha Mountain also sent people to support the Eastern Territory this time?”

Kuang Chen nodded heavily, “Yes! As long as Tiansha Mountain exists, we will not stand by when the grasslands invade the Central Plains!”

Li Fei nodded.

No wonder Ning Qingman left that sword back then.

Her four strikes at Sanmen City changed many things in one place.

And leaving a sword at Tiansha Mountain changed even more.

Li Fei suddenly wanted to take out the Thousand Mechanism Shadowless Silk and talk to Ning Qingman about what happened here.

He turned to look at Fan Lin:

“Jianghu sects helping the court to resist external enemies is just seeking fame?”

His tone was not heavy, but it sounded like a thunderclap to Fan Lin!

“Marquis, forgive me, it was my misspoken words!”

Fan Lin bowed again and again, sweating on his forehead.

The representatives of the first-class Jianghu sects with him were all silenced.

Li Fei looked at Fan Lin, saying calmly:

“Since you hold such a prejudice against the court, then stop enjoying the resources of the court and using the court’s name.

Effective immediately, the Broken Blade Sect is removed from the Blue Patrol Pavilion!”

Fan Lin was struck by thunder, suddenly looking up at Li Fei, his voice trembling:

“Marquis! All the wrongs are mine alone; please do not punish the Broken Blade Sect!”

Even though he cursed the court’s lapdogs, he was unwilling to give up the benefits that the Blue Patrol Pavilion brought to the Broken Blade Sect.

If they were truly expelled from the Blue Patrol Pavilion, it would be a significant blow to the Broken Blade Sect!

More severely, it meant offending Li Fei.

Nowadays, the Blue Patrol Pavilion was a colossal being, and Li Fei, as its master, was akin to a Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch.

Just one word from him could indeed decide the fate of many sects!

“Marquis, our Feiyun Building is willing to send people to support the Eastern Territory!”

The person who first stepped in to stop Kuang Chen was also the first to express support for Li Fei.

Afraid that their sect would also be implicated.

The remaining few also spoke up, expressing their willingness to send people from their sects as well.

Li Fei calmly looked at these people:

“Whether to go to the battlefield is entirely voluntary, the Blue Patrol Pavilion will not force it.”

With that, he turned to Kuang Chen:

“Master Kuang, please come with me.”

Then he left with Kuang Chen, leaving behind a despairing Fan Lin.

Li Fei brought Kuang Chen to the Taoist temple he had just left.

The True Master Wu Jiu, who had been ‘in Enlightenment Cultivation’ and unavailable, was now personally waiting outside the gate.

Standing with him was the Great Grandmaster Wu Min, also responsible for receiving guests.
