Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Merits and Demerits Offset, Neither Reward nor Punishment!

"You..." Lin Canglang’s expression turned exceptionally strange. Lin Xian’er should have already left for the Heavenly Position Academy, so how could she be involved in this matter?

Lin Canglang took a deep breath, a portion of the anger in his heart dissipated, and he asked in a heavy voice, "Alright then, tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Lin Xian’er coughed dryly and lowered her voice, "Sect Leader, as far as this disciple knows, the cause of the incident is that members of the Iron Blood Alliance bullied our disciples, acted all high and mighty, and Senior Ling Feng... he was just trying to seek justice for the disciples and teach Jing Wuxue a lesson. Although his method was a bit extreme, he was also eliminating trouble for our sect."

With Lin Xian’er taking the lead, the surrounding disciples gritted their teeth and also shouted loudly, "Sect Leader, the people of the Iron Blood Alliance indeed deserved what they got; they deceive and oppress their fellow sect members, and they are all scum."

"Sect Leader, Senior Ling Feng is not in the wrong!"

"This is karmic retribution! Jing Wuxue brought it upon himself, and his death is no pity!"

"If the Sect Leader insists on blaming Senior Ling Feng, we are willing to share his guilt!"

The crowd was excited, with almost everyone unanimously supporting Ling Feng.

In the matter of taking down the Iron Blood Alliance, most of the ordinary disciples were absolutely elated.

Seeing how the disciples were pleading for Ling Feng one after another, Lin Canglang was secretly astonished; in such a short time, Ling Feng had actually managed to gain the support of so many disciples.

Even he, as the Sect Leader, may not have such influence.

"Sect Leader, if you insist on punishing Ling Feng, this disciple is also willing to share his guilt!" Lin Xian’er looked up at Lin Canglang, who was hovering mid-air, and cast him a pleading look.

"Ah, enough already,"

Lin Canglang bit his teeth; even without his daughter’s plea, it was difficult to punish Ling Feng under these circumstances.

Moreover, since his daughter spoke up, he could only wave his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "Ling Feng acted to uphold justice for his fellow disciples, which is commendable, but his methods were too brutal, and he did not inform me in advance, which was improper. For this reason, his merits and faults offset each other, and he will be neither rewarded nor punished!"

Upon hearing the Sect Leader’s final decision, the crowd immediately erupted into cheers.

"Excellent!"

"The Sect Leader is wise!"

Jiang Wanqing, Su Hongxiu, Zhou Yan, Wang Qiang, and others surrounded Ling Feng, their faces filled with excitement.

They had done it!

They had really obtained justice for Lo Jianying and completely uprooted the Iron Blood Alliance!

Lin Xian’er also saluted Lin Canglang with a fist and palm salute, grinning and saying, "Thank you, Father... cough, Sect Leader!"

Lin Canglang felt a bit helpless and also somewhat worried; his daughter couldn’t possibly have taken a liking to this calamitous star, Ling Feng, could she?

If that were the case, he would have to act swiftly and nip this development in the bud!

Ling Feng had anticipated how Lin Canglang would handle the situation. After all, a deceased True Disciple no longer had any value, while he himself could still steal the Sword Scripture from Duanmu Qingshan for him.

However, Lin Canglang was probably miscalculating. Just wait until Duanmu Qingshan came out of seclusion, his good days would be over.

Of course, now was not the time to reveal his grandeur. He silently stepped forward and saluted Lin Canglang with a fist and palm, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Lin Canglang narrowed his eyes, staring at Ling Feng with an indifferent expression, "Ling Feng, let’s put this matter to rest. But don’t forget your identity. As a disciple of the Wenxian Sect, if you repeatedly violate the sect’s rules, as the Sect Leader, I won’t show favoritism and will have ways to punish you!"

He hinted indirectly, but in fact, he was reminding Ling Feng that the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison was still in his body, and with the one-month deadline fast approaching, without an antidote, the poison’s onset would be unbearable.

Naturally, Ling Feng could hear the undertones in Lin Canglang’s words and replied with a faint smile, "Rest assured, Sect Leader, this disciple has his own sense of propriety."

"You have a sense of measure, and that’s good." Lin Canglang flung his sleeve, and then loudly announced, "The Iron Blood Alliance disbands immediately, from this moment forth, no disciple is allowed to form factions or engage in nepotism; violators will be severely punished without leniency! As for the aftermath, Lee Liang, you will handle it."

"Yes, yes." Lee Liang quickly nodded in agreement.

"That will be all, then." Lin Canglang cast a deep look at Ling Feng and then turned his gaze toward Lin Xian’er, before shifting it away and stirring a gust of clean wind around him. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the direction of Liuxian Main Peak.

Lin Xian’er pouted, knowing that her father wanted her to come back to see him. She shrugged her shoulders, didn’t immediately set off, but walked briskly toward Ling Feng and smiled, "Ling Feng... Senior Ling Feng, isn’t it?"

Ling Feng’s gaze fell on Lin Xian’er, slightly astonished.

Such a beautiful... man?

However, it didn’t take long for Ling Feng to notice some particular features and realize this was a young woman dressed as a man.

Although the woman was in disguise and had even fashioned a fake Adam’s apple, as a medical expert, if one couldn’t even distinguish between genders, it would be a disgrace to the profession.

Ling Feng’s heart was like a clear mirror, yet he didn’t deliberately expose her.

"Wow, you... you’re so beautiful!" Su Hongxiu, standing beside them, couldn’t hold back her praise upon seeing Lin Xian’er, but then she realized the other was "male" and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment, waving her hands and saying, "No, no, I mean, you look very handsome."

Such looks indeed made even women feel envious.

Both Su Hongxiu and Jiang Wanqing had beautiful and graceful appearances, with smiles bright as blossoms, but compared to Lin Xian’er, there was still a gap.

She was a stunning beauty who could rival Yue Yunlan.

Lin Xian’er coughed a few times and lowered her voice, "Junior sister is joking. You are the pretty and cute one. To describe a man, it would be better to say ’handsome.’"

Su Hongxiu’s face blushed, and she quickly bowed her head, yet couldn’t help looking up time and again stealthily; this "young man" was exceedingly handsome.

Ling Feng smiled faintly and gave Lin Xian’er a cupped fist salute, "I’m Ling Feng. May I ask how to address brother?"

"I’m Lin..." Lin Xian’er paused, suddenly feeling a bit playful and blurted out, "What a coincidence, my name is also Lin Feng."

Ling Feng touched his nose, knowing it was an assumed name, and chuckled inwardly, but still nodded and replied with a smile, "So it’s Brother Lin Feng. Just now, if it hadn’t been for Brother Lin secretly taking action several times, I fear my friends here might have received some light injuries, thank you, Brother Lin."

Lin Xian’er’s pupils contracted. During the previous chaos, she had indeed discreetly subdued several experts stationed at the Iron Blood Alliance headquarters. She never expected Ling Feng to have noticed all of it.

His observational skills were truly astonishing!

"So you knew all along." Lin Xian’er stuck out her tongue playfully, looking exceptionally charming and cute.

"With your skills, Brother Lin, you’re probably not simply an Inner Sect Disciple of the Wenxian Sect, right?"

"Well, actually, I am a student at Heavenly Position Academy, and one of the Inner Elders of the Wenxian Sect is my elder relative. I specifically came to visit that Elder this time. I didn’t expect to meet a great man like Brother Ling. Truly heroic!"

Lin Xian’er fabricated an identity, but the latter half of her words came from the heart.

"Brother Lin praises me too highly. I still have pressing matters, so I must be excused now!"

After exchanging another polite gesture with Lin Xian’er, Ling Feng strode away, his gaze moving past Lin Xian’er toward the Iron Blood Alliance elites who knelt on the ground like dead dogs, and spoke coldly, "Those who want to live, take him and him, and follow me!"

With that, he pointed at the barely alive Huang Gou and the terrified Liu Quanhai on the ground. These two men, he planned to bring before Lo Jianying’s sickbed to kneel and apologize.

As for the other high-ranking members of the Iron Blood Alliance, their death sentence could be spared, but they would not escape punishment. They must also kneel at Lo Jianying’s doorway until Lo Jianying recovered -- only then could they rise again!

Those Iron Blood Alliance elites knew full well of Ling Feng’s ruthless nature; who would dare to resist? They immediately picked up the two invalids and followed behind Ling Feng toward YunMiao Peak, in a powerful throng.

Lin Xian’er watched Ling Feng and the others disappear into the distance and couldn’t help but pout slightly, thinking to herself: Ling Feng? Such a genius, I wonder if there will be a chance to meet him in the future at Heavenly Position Academy?
