Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Verbal Battle Against a Crowd of Heroes_1

Qin Feiyang followed Luo Xiong and his two companions onto the high platform. Turning to look at Ling Sheng, he truly couldn’t understand what this man was being so arrogant about.

Fatty didn’t go up. He knew his place; based on his status and position, he wasn’t qualified to stand up there.

However, in the eyes of some, Qin Feiyang didn’t have this qualification either.

"Jiang Haotian, get down now!" the Ling Family Head roared.

His son hadn’t even quieted down, and now the father was stepping in to meddle. It seemed this father-son duo was determined to be relentless today.

Qin Feiyang asked, "Why should I step down?"

"Look around you. Who here isn’t a person of status and position? You, a mere martial master, what qualification do you have to be on equal footing with us?" the Ling Family Head snorted disdainfully.

"He has a point." The Hall Master of the Martial Palace nodded and said calmly, "Jiang Haotian, a person must know their place. Get down now!"

The City Lord angrily rebuked, "Absolutely no manners! Luo Xiong, is this how you teach your disciples?"

Luo Xiong chuckled. "How I teach them is the Elixir Palace’s business and no concern for you, City Lord. However, Old Feng, Old Mo, and I are all very satisfied with this disciple."

Old Feng and Old Mo both nodded, a hint of a smile appearing on their faces.

"Jiang Haotian, ignore them. Come stand behind me," Elder Mo beckoned to Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang clasped his hands. "Thank you, Elder. However, today, I’m afraid I’ll need a chair."

"Audacious!"

"A mere disciple dares to ask for a chair? What a delusion!"

"It seems you’re not only unruly, but you also lack upbringing!"

The various Family Heads immediately began to shout angrily.

"Upbringing!"

Hearing these words, Qin Feiyang’s body trembled violently. It was as if his deepest outrage had been touched; his entire demeanor changed in an instant!

He was like an enraged lion, his hair practically standing on end, sweeping his gaze across everyone. He sneered, "I think the ones who lack upbringing and are unruly are you!"

"What did you say?"

"You dare say that again!"

The Family Heads’ eyes were wide with rage. If not for Luo Xiong and his two companions being present, they would likely have attacked Qin Feiyang already.

"I said, the ones who lack upbringing and are unruly are you," Qin Feiyang enunciated, word by word.

"This is outrageous!"

"City Lord, this brat shows no respect for his elders! I suggest he be thrown out immediately!"

The various Family Heads all turned to look at the City Lord.

The City Lord’s gaze turned cold as he said sternly, "Jiang Haotian, if you don’t give this City Lord a satisfactory explanation today, don’t even think about leaving this place!"

Qin Feiyang said, "Perfect. I also require an explanation. May I ask the Lord City Lord, why is everyone gathered here today?"

The City Lord said, "Nonsense! Obviously, to watch the decisive battle between Ling Sheng and Ling Yunfei."

"Correct." Qin Feiyang nodded. "Then may I be so bold as to ask again: who issued the letter of challenge, and who signed the life-and-death agreement?"

The City Lord frowned, not understanding why Qin Feiyang was asking this. "It was you."

"Exactly! I issued the challenge, and I signed the life-and-death agreement. That makes me Ling Yunfei’s guarantor. So why shouldn’t a chair be prepared for me? And why shouldn’t I be allowed up here? If even I, the guarantor, am not qualified to be up here, then what qualification do you unrelated people have? I’d like to ask, what damn business is it of yours? Are you all just bored? If you want to watch the show, why don’t you get off this platform and watch from down there?" Qin Feiyang unleashed a torrent of abuse upon them on the spot.

So what if he’s the City Lord? So what if they’re Family Heads? Do they think I’m weak and easy to bully? Always finding trouble for me? Trying to embarrass me? Let me tell you, not a chance! I might be down on my luck now, but I haven’t fallen so low that just anyone can humiliate me!

Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, his composure returning, as tranquil as an undisturbed well. He turned to the Ling Family Head and said nonchalantly, "You are also Ling Sheng’s guarantor. If I am not qualified to sit here, shouldn’t you also get off?"

The Ling Family Head’s hands clenched tightly, his gaze incredibly grim. The City Lord, the Hall Master of the Martial Palace, and the other Family Heads grew even more furious. To be berated so harshly by a junior in front of everyone—they were truly making a spectacle of themselves and becoming a laughingstock!

The people below the high platform, though they felt Qin Feiyang was somewhat arrogant, found his words quite reasonable. This was a private grudge between Jiang Haotian and the Ling Family. Unrelated people should have stepped aside and watched silently. But now, they were all arguing vociferously, posturing as if they were the most important people under the heavens. They were clearly meddling for no good reason, just asking for a scolding!

Qin Feiyang looked at Luo Xiong and the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, clasping his hands. "You two are the most impartial people in Black Bear City. Tell us, who here is truly the one lacking decorum?"

"Devious little bastard!" both of them cursed inwardly. This little rascal is as sharp as they come.

After a moment’s thought, the Pavilion Master smiled. "Under normal circumstances, in a public setting, Jiang Haotian would not be qualified to sit on equal footing with us. But now, he is one of the involved parties. To put it this way, he is essentially the host now, and we are like guests he invited to watch a show. We indeed have no right to say much."

"He should have a chair," Luo Xiong said simply, but it was enough to show his stance.

Qin Feiyang looked at the City Lord again, smiling. "City Lord, what do you think? I know you’d love to strangle me right now, but justice resides in people’s hearts. If you’re not afraid of people gossiping behind your back, you can go right ahead and try."

"Fantastic!"

"That’s our Boss!"

"Boss, keep it up!"

"GA GA..."

Suddenly, a loud cheer erupted from the silent crowd.

Fatty was seen in the front row, jumping up and down as if he’d been shot up with chicken blood, cackling strangely.

Is this damn Fatty looking for death? The crowd looked over, their expressions incredibly strange.

"COUGH, COUGH!" Qin Feiyang gave a dry cough.

Fatty jolted. Seeing everyone looking at him, cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead. His face paled, and he quickly lowered his head, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"After all this talk, is anyone going to get me a chair or not?" Qin Feiyang roared. He once again became the focus of the entire assembly, and in doing so, he was actually helping Fatty out of his predicament.

The City Lord, his face grim, barked, "Get him a chair!"

A guard hurriedly took a chair out from his Qiankun Bag and asked, "Where should I put it?"

Qin Feiyang sighed. "Well, as one of the main parties involved, I should really be sitting in the very center. But since everyone here is a senior, I’ll have to make do and be a little inconvenienced. Just put it to the side!"

"Inconvenienced?" "Seniors?" Hearing this, the entire crowd was speechless. When you were just pointing at their noses and cursing them out, how come you didn’t treat them as seniors then? You caused such a ruckus over a chair, turning this place upside down, and you call yourself inconvenienced? You’ve said all the good things and all the bad things; what more do you want? How can a person be so shameless!

The guard was also utterly speechless. He had seen people who weren’t afraid of death, but this was the first time he’d encountered someone actively courting it. After this incident, there would be absolutely no chance of reconciliation between this person and the City Lord.

After placing the chair, the guard retreated to the side. Qin Feiyang grinned, strode boldly over, and plopped down onto it. "Ah, this is great!" he said with satisfaction. "This is the kind of treatment one should get. Thanks, Lord City Lord!"

The City Lord directly turned his head away and began to converse privately with the Hall Master of the Martial Palace.

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and glanced at Fatty, who immediately gave him a thumbs-up.

"Jiang Haotian, where is Ling Yunfei? Hasn’t he shown his face yet? Could it be he was scared silly by me and doesn’t dare to come?" Just then, Ling Sheng’s cold laughter sounded.

"What’s the rush?" Qin Feiyang said faintly. "While he’s not here yet, you should take the chance to calm down properly. In your current state, I could kill you with a single blow."

This person is too arrogant, too impetuous—a standard pampered silkpants. If it weren’t for the need to save Ling Yunfei’s mother, I’d consider even a second glance at him a waste of time. Wait! Ling Yunfei’s mother?

Qin Feiyang’s eyebrow twitched. He ignored Ling Sheng, whose face was ashen, and looked towards the Ling Family Head. He noticed the Ling Family Head was gazing towards Black Bear Mountain, his brow slightly furrowed, looking somewhat agitated.

Qin Feiyang’s eyes glinted. "Family Head Ling, are you perhaps wondering why Steward Ling hasn’t returned yet?"

How does he know? The Ling Family Head was startled.

Qin Feiyang smiled. "The night the challenge was issued, I happened to see Steward Ling furtively leaving the city and entering Black Bear Mountain. I was quite curious, what was he going to Black Bear Mountain for? Do you know, Family Head Ling?"

The Ling Family Head said in a heavy tone, "I don’t know!"

Qin Feiyang said with a teasing tone, "Everyone in Black Bear City knows Steward Ling is your confidant. How could you not know?"

"When I say I don’t know, I don’t know! Why are you spouting so much nonsense?" the Ling Family Head shouted angrily, yet a premonition of unease rose in his heart.

The City Lord and the others also paused their discussion, looking at the two, apparently deep in thought. It seemed there were many hidden details involved.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, alright, I’ll stop with the nonsense. But I’d like to ask, where is Ling Yunfei’s mother? Why isn’t she present?"

The Ling Family Head said disdainfully, "Haste makes waste. Let’s wait until Ling Yunfei wins before discussing it."

"I’m just afraid that when the time comes, you’ll go back on your word!" Just then, a cold voice cut in.

The surrounding world seemed to plunge into the depths of winter; everyone felt an inexplicable chill!

Qin Feiyang looked up and saw a blood-red figure at the back of the crowd. Who else could it be but Ling Yunfei?

He was like a returning Asura, an overwhelming murderous aura and a vicious air emanating from him!

However, the Ling Family Head and a group of Ling Family Clan Elders all shot to their feet! Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Because on Ling Yunfei’s shoulder, he was carrying a person—the very Steward Ling they had been concerned about!

The crowd hastily parted. Ling Yunfei walked towards the high platform step by step, the reek of blood emanating from him causing the surrounding crowd to be terrified!

SWISH! He leaped onto the high platform, first placing Steward Ling down in front of the Ling Family members, then stood beside Qin Feiyang. His eyes were fixed intensely on Ling Sheng, like a beast awakening—truly terrifying!

The Ling Family Head squatted down, extended a finger, and placed it under Steward Ling’s nostrils. His arm trembled. He looked up, glaring furiously at Ling Yunfei, and roared, "Did you kill him?"

Ling Yunfei said, "Think before you speak. I’m a mere martial master; could I kill him, a Martial Ancestor? I just happened to encounter him. I couldn’t bear to see his corpse left exposed in the wilderness, so I brought him back for you. You should be thanking me."

He now felt no affection for the Ling Family, only hatred! Because if not for the Bear King’s help, he would already be dead at Steward Ling’s hands. Actually, he didn’t know that the one who had truly been helping him all along was the Wolf King.

Luo Xiong glanced at Steward Ling’s injuries. "Indeed, he died at the claws of a ferocious beast, and it was the Bear King that killed him. His body bears the claw marks of the Bear King. Family Head Ling, you people are truly bold, daring to go and provoke it." The latter part of his sentence carried a sarcastic tone.

The Ling Family Head’s hands clenched tightly, his knuckles making CRACKING sounds! Not only had they failed to kill Ling Yunfei, but they had also lost a Martial Ancestor. How could this not enrage him?

He also knew that the matter was definitely not this simple. But he had to endure it. Because once everyone found out about his despicable schemes, not only him, but the entire Ling Family would become a public target. At that point, he feared even the City Lord might not protect him. However, this matter could not be simply dropped!

He looked up at Ling Sheng, killing intent glinting in his eyes. "Sheng’er, begin!"

Ling Sheng nodded, turned to Ling Yunfei, and barked, "Come here and meet your death!"

Qin Feiyang asked, "Are you confident?"

"Just watch!" Ling Yunfei gave a cold, arrogant smile and strode to the center of the high platform, standing opposite Ling Sheng.

There were only five meters between them!

Ling Yunfei asked, "Is killing permitted?"

Ling Sheng replied, "Since the life-and-death agreement was signed, of course killing is permitted. And I have no intention of letting you walk off this high platform alive!" The last part, he mouthed silently.
