Shen Zhao could have killed Lin Feng directly, but his resentment from the past nine lifetimes prevented him from dying so easily.
In this life, he wants Lin Feng to live in his shadow forever, like a lowly ant, suffering torment and humiliation in despair and resentment until he dies.
In addition, everyone who has ever hurt him, including Yu Xiyan, must pay the price they deserve. No one will escape, and no one will be left behind.
Lin Feng said, "This is a family heirloom; I cannot give it to you!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao could only shrug and say, "Then there's nothing I can do. You guys, get your things organized and tell your partners that we have some good stuff today, so they can come and get an estimate."
"Don't worry, we used to do this kind of thing."
Feng Xiunian and He Yishou looked at Lin Feng and immediately revealed ferocious smiles.
"Wait!"
Lin Feng's eyes darted around, and he ultimately chose to compromise.
"Okay, I promise you! I hope you'll keep your promise."
He slowly removed the Soul Nourishing Ring, then bit his index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the ring.
Immediately afterwards, a red seal, about the size of a fist, gradually formed around the Soul Nourishing Ring.
As the barrier expanded further and eventually collapsed, it meant that the contract between Lin Feng and the Soul Nourishing Ring was completely dissolved.
Shen Zhao took the Soul-Nourishing Ring, nodded, and said to Shen Zhao, "Get out of here before I change my mind."
Lin Feng glared at Shen Zhao resentfully, then got up and walked away from everyone's sight.
At this moment, Shen Zhao asked He Yishou, "Has everything been arranged for his journey?"
He Yishou laughed and said, "Brother Shen, don't worry. I've arranged for more than a dozen bandits to rob him along his route. They are all willing to accept this young master Lin's targeted poverty alleviation work."
Hehehe~
Haha~
The three old men immediately burst into laughter, looking like several hundred-ton fat men.
...
Inside the Qingyun Sect, the heads of the seven major sects stared at each other, none of them speaking, the atmosphere oppressive and suffocating.
A disciple of the Qingyun Sect cautiously offered tea, but seeing the strange atmosphere in the hall, he didn't dare to lift his head. He put down the teacup and ran away.
After a long silence, Liang Hao spoke: "Our council is extremely dissatisfied with everything that happened at the Qingyun Sect today, so what do you plan to do?"
He Lixian sneered, "What else can we do? The Qingyun Sect has taken in evil cultivators as disciples and almost became the sect leader of the Xuanmen Sect. If this matter is not dealt with properly, the reputation of the seven major sects of the Eastern Continent will be completely lost."
His words were clearly pointed at the silent Master Zisong, who sat in the first seat.
Master Zisong is still in a daze. If he knew that Lin Feng was a cruel and evil cultivator, even if he had the potential to become an emperor, he wouldn't dare to take him as a disciple and bring shame to the immortal sect.
Seeing that Master Zisong remained silent, the atmosphere grew cold again.
At this moment, Shen Zhao strode into the hall. Seeing the oppressive atmosphere, he spoke directly: "Oh, why is no one talking? Don't keep your thoughts to yourself. Speak them out so we can solve them together."
Master Zisong hurriedly asked, "Young Master Shen, how is Lin Feng?"
Shen Zhao feigned a sigh and said, "I didn't expect Lin Feng to have so many tricks up his sleeve. In the end, I couldn't keep him. But he's in a tough spot now, and he won't be a threat for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Master Zisong immediately knelt before Shen Zhao: "Young Master Shen, it was I, Zisong, who was blinded and mistakenly took the evil cultivator into my sect. I am willing to take full responsibility for everything and leave the judgment to the court!"
Shen Zhao ignored him and went straight to the seat of honor.
"How to deal with this is not up to me alone. Right now, I just want to know how you plan to handle this serious matter, and whether you have reached a conclusion."
The seven sect leaders remained silent, none of them willing to offer any opinions.
Seeing that no one answered, Shen Zhao said, "Since none of you know how to handle this, how about letting the judicial committee take charge for once?"
He Lixian immediately stood up: "Naturally, the Court of Justice is the maintainer of order in the Immortal Martial Continent, and should have the right to handle such important matters."
"Master Zisong was blind to people and mistakenly accepted a heretical cultivator into his sect. Fortunately, he did not commit a serious mistake and corrected his behavior in time. Therefore, he was given a demerit. I hope everyone will take this as a warning."
"As for Lin Feng, his identity as an evil cultivator will be publicly announced throughout the Nine Realms of the Immortal Martial Continent. Anyone who dares to take him in will be making an enemy of the Court of Justice and the entire Xuanmen."
"Do you accept this decision?"
After hearing Shen Zhao's words, no one had any objections, and they even breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, with this incident, not only the Qingyun Sect but the entire Eastern Continent Xuanmen sect has lost face. This way of handling it can be considered as unifying the narrative.
But Shen Zhao's next words caused a great stir.
"Since this egregious act has severely damaged the reputation of the Xuanmen sect among the people, appropriate compensation and punishment are still necessary."
I hereby declare that each of the seven sects of the Eastern Continent shall contribute a sum of spirit stones to the Public Trial Council, totaling one million spirit stones to benefit the people. The Qingyun Sect, as the principal offender, shall bear 60% of the responsibility, with the remaining 40% to be borne by the other six sects.
Upon hearing this, the other six sects all widened their eyes in surprise.
He Lixian slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shouting, "What does this have to do with us? It's clearly a problem with the Qingyun Sect, so why should we be punished too? I refuse to accept this!"
