74: Chapter 74: Clearing the Name of the Museum Owner
As the saying goes, when things become unbearable, there is no need to endure any longer!
Anyone with eyes could see that Ye Fan and Lin Hao had already reached a private agreement.
They had decided to join forces to deal with the Disciples of the Jidao Martial Arts Hall!
If the competition continued, the losses for the Jidao Martial Arts Hall would only grow!
Although no one would die, those Outer Sect Disciples of the Jidao Martial Arts Hall would almost all be crippled.
As a member of the Jidao Martial Arts Hall, Lin Feng naturally could not tolerate such a thing happening.
Therefore, he immediately made a decision that shocked everyone present.
Striding forward, he headed straight for the wooden shed ahead.
...
At the same time, inside the wooden shed, a heated argument had already broken out!
Hall Master Su Tongtian glared at Master Li Badao and said, "Li, isn't your Disciple Lin Hao going too far? Lu Xiu clearly shouted 'I concede,' yet he was relentless and continued to attack, beating my Disciple half to death!"
"Haha... is that so? I didn't hear her shout 'I concede'!" Master Li Badao chuckled and turned to Hall Master Guo Yunxiao, asking, "Brother Guo, did you hear that female Disciple shout the words 'I concede'?"
"No!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao shook his head repeatedly, with a fake smile. "I only heard her shout the two words 'I con...' but not 'I concede'!"
"Hahahaha... indeed!" Master Li Badao laughed loudly and said, "Since she didn't fully shout the three words 'I concede,' then my Disciple Lin Hao did not violate the rules of the competition."
"You... you two old fogies are simply shameless!" Hall Master Su Tongtian was fuming with rage.
"Enough, both of you say less!" Commander Chu Xingchen, sitting in the center, frowned and said with displeasure, "The three of you are the heads of the Three Great Martial Halls and prominent figures in the city. To be bickering like this in public, where is your sense of decorum?"
"Battalion Commander Chu, I don't want to argue either, but their Disciples have truly gone too far!" Su Tongtian said angrily.
"Haha, excessive? My Disciple Lin Hao didn't violate the rules of the competition, so how can you call it excessive?" Master Li Badao gave a cold, disdainful laugh. "Blame it on the fact that the Disciple you taught is weak and lacks skill."
"Haha, indeed. If a person is incompetent, they shouldn't blame the road for being uneven. To put it bluntly, it's because you, Su, are incompetent, and the Disciples you've trained are all trash!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao chimed in loudly.
"Hahahaha..." The heads of the Four Great Families nearby also burst into laughter!
"You... you all..." Su Tongtian trembled with anger.
His body shook, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Hmph, who says our Hall Master is incompetent?" At that moment, a loud voice suddenly came from a distance!
As the voice rang out, Lin Feng strode into the wooden shed.
"Lin Feng, what are you doing here?" Seeing Lin Feng, Patriarch Lin Tianyang frowned and shouted displeasurably, "This is not a place for you to be. Get out of here immediately!"
Although Lin Feng had long since severed ties with the Lin Family!
The Bloodline connection still remained!
Lin Tianyang was afraid that Lin Feng would offend these big shots and bring trouble to the Lin Family.
"Was I talking to you?" Lin Feng only gave him a cold glance before looking away.
"You... you unfilial son..." Patriarch Lin Tianyang was fuming with rage, his beard and eyebrows trembling.
"Lin Feng, what are you doing here?" Commander Chu Xingchen asked curiously.
"I am here to vindicate our Hall Master!" Lin Feng replied loudly and with poise.
"Oh? To vindicate Pavilion Master Su? How?" Commander Chu Xingchen asked with interest.
Pavilion Master Ji Linger's beautiful eyes also brightened as she looked at Lin Feng with interest.
Lin Feng's gaze swept over Master Li Badao and Hall Master Guo Yunxiao, and he said loudly, "Didn't these two hall masters just say that my Hall Master is incompetent and cannot train good Disciples?
I beg to differ.
Therefore, I have come to vindicate the Hall Master."
"How will you vindicate him? Tell us," Commander Chu Xingchen said, his eyes flashing with interest.
"It's simple. I will challenge all the Outer Sect Disciples of their two martial halls by myself, until the very end," Lin Feng declared.
His voice boomed, echoing throughout the entire wooden shed!
Instantly, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone stared at Lin Feng with wide eyes and dropped jaws, unable to believe what they had heard.
No one expected Lin Feng to be so overbearing.
To vindicate his Hall Master, he did not hesitate to challenge two martial halls single-handedly.
After a brief silence!
The scene suddenly erupted into waves of earth-shattering laughter!
"Hahahaha... What did I just hear? You, Lin Feng, want to challenge all the Outer Sect Disciples of our two martial halls alone?" Master Li Badao laughed wildly.
His laughter was filled with deep disdain and contempt!
"Hahaha... This is madness! You are just a trash with an Inferior Root, yet you dare to claim you'll challenge so many Prodigy Disciples of our two martial halls by yourself?" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao was also laughing uncontrollably.
He eventually clutched his stomach.
He laughed until his stomach hurt.
Nearby, Head of Niu Family, the head of the Niu Family; Patriarch Lu Feng, the head of the Lu Family; and Bai Long, the head of the Bai Family, also couldn't help but laugh out loud!
Only Patriarch Lin Tianyang's face was ashen, fuming with rage.
However, amidst his anger, there was a trace of relief!
"Unfilial son, truly an unfilial son. Fortunately, my Lin Family has already severed ties with you. Otherwise, your actions today would surely bring ruin upon my family!"
Amidst the crowd's laughter, Su Tongtian stood up abruptly and strode over to Lin Feng!
Lowering his voice, he said, "Feng'er, I know you want to vent my frustration for me, but isn't this move too reckless?"
He knew Lin Feng was very strong!
But he was still very worried.
After all, Lin Feng wasn't facing just one or two Outer Sect Disciples this time!
But all the elite Outer Sect Disciples of the Badao Martial Arts Hall and the Fengyun Martial Arts Hall.
After the first round of elimination, there were still over twenty people left from the two martial halls!
Among them were the two peerless Prodigies, Lin Hao and Ye Fan.
Could Lin Feng alone be a match for them?
"Rest assured, Hall Master, I know what I'm doing!" Lin Feng smiled calmly.
"Then be extremely careful. If you are no match for them, concede immediately." Su Tongtian moved his right hand and gently patted Lin Feng's shoulder, feeling touched.
He had not made a mistake in taking this Disciple!
When he was being humiliated by the heads of the other two martial halls and felt incredibly aggrieved, Lin Feng had bravely stepped forward to vindicate him!
Although he didn't know what the outcome would be, Su Tongtian would remember this sentiment.
"Ahem... Everyone, stop laughing. Let's talk business!" At that moment, Commander Chu Xingchen coughed and spoke up.
Though his voice was low, it contained a trace of powerful spiritual energy, instantly drowning out all the laughter and becoming the only sound in the field.
Undoubtedly, Commander Chu Xingchen was the strongest person in Qingyun County.
He was at the Peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.
He was only one step away from the Innate Realm.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"Lin Feng, are you sure you want to challenge all the Outer Sect Disciples of the two martial halls alone?" Commander Chu Xingchen asked loudly, his eyes shining.
"Yes!" Lin Feng nodded heavily. "Is it allowed?"
"This... there has never been a precedent before. I'll have to ask the others!" After saying that, Commander Chu Xingchen looked at Master Li Badao and Hall Master Guo Yunxiao.
After all, this was the Outer Sect Disciple competition between the Three Great Martial Halls.
"Haha, of course, no problem!" Master Li Badao answered without hesitation!
"I agree with both hands!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao answered just as eagerly.
Before the competition, Su Tongtian had bet with them that Lin Feng would take the top spot!
Originally, they were worried that something unexpected might happen!
But now, it was a sure thing.
Since Lin Feng wanted to seek his own death and challenge all the elite Outer Sect Disciples of the two martial halls alone, why would they disagree?
As soon as Lin Feng lost, it would mean Su Tongtian lost the bet!
For this, Su Tongtian would have to pay over three hundred thousand taels of silver!
Even as a hall master, Su Tongtian would have to exhaust his entire family fortune to pay it off!
By then, the Jidao Martial Arts Hall would surely be forced to close down.
In that case, only their two martial halls would be left in Qingyun County.
"Pavilion Master Ji, what do you think?" Seeing that the two had agreed, Commander Chu Xingchen turned to Pavilion Master Ji Linger and asked.
"Haha, since they both agree, as an outsider, I naturally have no objection!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger smiled and gave Lin Feng a deep look.
She also wanted to see what kind of ability Lin Feng had to make such an arrogant request.
"Haha, alright. Since everyone agrees, then from now on, you, Lin Feng, shall fight all the elite Outer Sect Disciples of the two martial halls alone!" Commander Chu Xingchen declared.
"Battalion Commander Chu, before this, I have one small request!" Lin Feng said loudly.
"Oh? What request? Feel free to speak!"
