After a moment, Helena said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Wei, Ye Fan's fortune is somewhat related to mine."
"You crippled him, indirectly affecting my righteous path. Do you think I'll let you off the hook?"
The Dragon Island cultivators in the hall listened with furrowed brows.
Helena is truly remarkable; she shifted the focus from public to private matters in just a few words.
This is not a negotiation between the Temple and Dragon Island.
It's because you, Wei Tianci, crippled Helena, that I'm going to cripple you, and no one can interfere.
If this were the mundane world, where everything is governed by law, then we could take our time to discuss it.
However, in the world of cultivators, might makes right.
Anyone who makes an enemy of Helena should think twice about the consequences.
Wei Tianci was, after all, a transmigrator with a system by his side, so he naturally wouldn't be as easily frightened as the natives, like a bird startled by a bow.
Upon hearing this, he calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Helena, speaking slowly.
“Palace Master Helen, Ye Fan attempted to harm my woman Qi Linglong. It was only natural for me to stand up for her as a man. It was only right and proper for me to cripple him.”
"If I could do it all over again, I would still make the same choice."
The sound startled everyone present!
The old monsters present all looked at Wei Tianci in surprise. This kid has guts!
Facing Helena, a peak oligarch at the Nascent Soul stage, he remained calm and composed, spouting nonsense without batting an eye!
This kid either has something to rely on, or he's fearless!
After the initial surprise, Elder Zhou Chaodeng showed admiration for Wei Tianci.
Although he has been in charge of Long Island for many years, he has cultivated his composure to an extremely high level, remaining calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him.
However, he was also a passionate young man in his youth, upright and chivalrous, so he instantly developed a liking for Wei Tianci.
The man that the young master likes is definitely not a coward!
Helena, upon hearing this, calmly replied, "You may not know, but Ye Fan and Qi Linglong were originally mercenaries. Ye Fan saved Qi Linglong's life, which is why Qi Linglong helped Ye Fan establish the Dragon Emperor Palace."
"If it weren't for Ye Fan, Qi Linglong would have died long ago. Now that Ye Fan needs to take back Qi Linglong's life, what's wrong with that?"
Wei Tianci coldly said, "Palace Master Helen, let's keep this separate. Qi Linglong has already repaid Ye Fan's kindness through the establishment of the Dragon Emperor Palace!"
"But Ye Fan is now trying to eliminate her, so he is the new murderer, and I will not allow it!"
Helena glanced at Wei Tianci with a normal expression, then looked at Leng Ruolian.
"Young Master Leng, I'd like to hear just how close you and Wei Tianci are?"
She didn't come to Dragon Island to engage in a debate.
Given her status, even in a debate, no one present would be qualified to be her judge.
The only thing she wanted to know was to what extent Dragon Island would protect Wei Tianci.
Although she was never worried about falling out with Dragon Island, she had to consider whether it was worth it.
It's definitely not worth it just for a piece of trash like Ye Fan.
After all, with Helena's methods, she has a hundred ways to make Wei Tianci pay the price, and she doesn't necessarily need to confront Dragon Island head-on!
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruolian gave a seemingly ambiguous smile: "I owe my current situation entirely to the grace of heaven. I wonder if this would persuade the Palace Master to be lenient?"
She subtly changed the subject in her mind: without Wei Tianci's Nascent Soul Pill, she wouldn't have reached the Nascent Soul stage so quickly, which was also a truth.
Although Leng Ruolian was smiling, her eyes were filled with coldness.
Everyone could sense that if Palace Master Helena was unwilling to show leniency, Leng Ruolian might be willing to risk her life for Wei Tianci!
