Lin Zhendong looked at Lu Qinghe with a serious expression, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise and confusion.
"It's been many years since we last met. I never expected you to have become so bold!" Lin Zhendong's voice was deep and serious, carrying an imposing aura.
"Are you asking for a beating today?"
Lu Qinghe stared blankly at Lin Zhendong, his eyes revealing a resolute and fearless expression. "It's been so many years, and you've become even more arrogant than before!"
Lu Qinghe's voice carried a hint of anger, and his eyes flashed with fury. "Do you still naively believe that I'm the same Lu Qinghe you used to know?"
Lu Qinghe's voice was steady and firm, and his eyes revealed a sense of confidence and composure.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and their gazes were fixed on Lu Qinghe.
Based on their understanding of Lu Qinghe, they would never provoke Lin Zhendong without being certain of victory.
However, at this moment, Lu Qinghe showed no fear and openly provoked Lin Zhendong.
If there's nothing they have to rely on, they won't believe anything you say.
Lin Zhendong's face darkened, and he stared at Lu Qinghe with a sinister gaze, trying to see through his eyes to uncover all his secrets.
After a long silence, Lin Zhendong finally spoke: "Lu Qinghe, you actually concealed your cultivation level!"
At this point, Lin Zhendong's expression became very serious. His eyes were like torches as he stared intently at Lu Qinghe, as if trying to discern some clue from him.
"Could it be... that you obtained the Primordial Technique?" Lin Zhendong suddenly thought of a possibility. He felt that only in this way would Lu Qinghe dare to provoke him so fearlessly.
Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Qinghe with suspicion and uncertainty. Only now did they realize that Lu Qinghe had actually been hiding his cultivation level.
"What? Lu Qinghe has been hiding his cultivation level?" someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Could it be that he really obtained the Primordial Technique? Otherwise, how could he dare to provoke Lin Zhendong?" another person speculated.
Lu Qinghe looked at everyone, a slight, wicked smile playing on his lips. He didn't speak, but the confidence and composure in his eyes exerted an invisible pressure on everyone.
Then, Lu Qinghe stopped hiding his aura and his aura erupted instantly, powerful and shocking like a volcanic eruption.
Sensing Lu Qinghe's presence, Lin Zhendong's expression turned extremely ugly. He stared wide-eyed at Lu Qinghe in disbelief.
"You... you actually cultivated the Primordial Technique!" Lin Zhendong said, his voice trembling.
"You're just a collateral branch, how could those old guys from the Lu family possibly pass on their ancient cultivation techniques to you?"
Lu Qinghe looked at Lin Zhenhua with a half-smile, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, his tone carrying a hint of teasing: "You've said enough nonsense!"
His voice was like a gentle breeze, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere.
"Let's get down to business!" His gaze sharpened, as if trying to pierce through Lin Zhenhua's heart.
"I'm in charge of the demon-slaying plan, you definitely won't accept that!" His words carried a hint of provocation.
"And if you take the position, I will not accept it either!" Lu Qinghe's voice was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
At this point, Lu Qinghe paused slightly before continuing.
“Therefore, I suggest that Palace Master Qin take the position, and you and I will assist him!” His suggestion was like a sharp sword, cutting off the debate among the crowd.
"What do you think of my suggestion?" His gaze was like a torch, burning across Lin Zhenhua's face.
Lin Zhendong frowned slightly, lost in thought. Even now, he wasn't confident he could defeat Lu Qinghe. Even if he ultimately won, he would likely pay a heavy price.
Everyone looked disappointed; the show they were hoping for was going to be over. Lin Zhendong, unless he was a fool, wouldn't easily make a move against Lu Qinghe at this moment.
Qin Feng was speechless. He hadn't expected that these two guys' argument would drag him into it.
"Gentlemen, please don't drag me into this. I really have no interest!" Qin Feng immediately stated. His voice was like a clear spring, flowing in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gazes turned to Qin Feng, their eyes filled with mockery.
This person was quite sensible, knowing that even if he became the person in charge, he would only be a puppet of Lin Zhendong and Lu Qinghe.
After all, this is a world where strength reigns supreme! Qin Feng's cultivation level is one major realm lower than everyone else present, so who would really let him become the person in charge?
Lu Qinghe frowned slightly, staring intently at Qin Feng's face.
"Palace Master Qin, do you perhaps want to see me clash with Lin Zhendong, which is why you are unwilling to accept this?"
Lin Zhendong sneered, "Kid, don't think we don't know what you're up to!"
"You have to be in charge of this demon-slaying plan, whether you want to or not!"
"You have no choice, understand?"
Qin Feng was amused.
"Are you provoking the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace with those words?"
"Or is it that your Heavenly Extreme Immortal Sect has already prepared to go to war with the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace?"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Everyone was shocked, not expecting Qin Feng to be so tough, daring to directly challenge the Xuanming Immortal Sect.
Lin Zhendong glared at him angrily, "You don't represent the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace, so stop talking nonsense!"
"good!"
Lu Qinghe chimed in, "Qin Feng, you should be clear about your identity and status. Don't overestimate yourself!"
"Hahaha……"
Qin Feng burst into laughter, his laughter filled with endless mockery.
"Although I, Qin Feng, am just a minor palace master, I am also a representative of the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace!"
"I represent the dignity and honor of the Ice Spirit Palace. How dare you trample on me at will?"
"If your Heavenly Extreme Immortal Sect or Xuanming Immortal Sect truly desires to fight the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace, then I, Qin Feng, will never back down!"
After speaking, Qin Feng straightened his back and looked at Lin Zhendong and Lu Qinghe with a firm gaze.
At this moment, the entire scene reached a stalemate, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Lin Zhendong and Lu Qinghe's faces turned extremely ugly; they never expected Qin Feng's attitude to be so tough.
Even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to make a decision on their own to start a war with the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace!
Just then, Ye Qingxin, who hadn't spoken until now, finally spoke.
"Sect Leader Lu, Sect Leader Lin, did you come here to argue?"
"Even so, shouldn't they have argued enough by now?"
Ye Qingxin said indifferently, "Is the person in charge really that good?"
Does it make any difference who's in charge?
"Isn't it all for the sake of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path?"
Nangong Zhen chimed in, "Fellow Daoist Ye is absolutely right. Our true purpose in gathering here today is to exorcise demons!"
"Who is in charge doesn't seem to matter at all, does it?"
