The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 787 - 783
Chapter 787: 783
As the Sect Leader of the Myriad Poison Sect, how could Kang Baiyin not discern the implicit meaning in Ye Chenfeng’s words? The Tianshan Sect and the Myriad Poison Sect were both third-rate powers, and Kang Baiyin was certainly not afraid of Tianshan Sect. However, being led around by the nose by a young man was infuriating to him. Yet, under the scrutiny of the public eye, if he simply watched this young man being taken away by people from Tianshan Sect, wouldn’t that be tantamount to slapping his own face?
After casting a fierce glance at Ye Chenfeng, Kang Baiyin addressed Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi, saying, "Since this young brother has come to participate in the disciple selection of the Myriad Poison Sect, I, as the Sect Leader, naturally have to ensure his safety. You two, please leave."
Kang Baiyin had already made a decision in his heart, after the disciple selection of the Myriad Poison Sect ended, he would definitely make this young man taste the poison of the Myriad Poison Sect, to beg for life without being able to beg for death. That would be the consequence for daring to threaten him.
Upon hearing Kang Baiyin’s order to leave, the faces of the two old men, Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi, turned exceptionally ugly. Just now, in order to drive Ye Chenfeng up to Myriad Poison Mountain, they had even used the Life-Burning Technique; how could they return empty-handed today?
Lu Douwen tried his best to calm himself down and said to Kang Baiyin, "Sect Leader Kang, this kid is clearly sowing discord. Do you really want to be led by the nose by him? Our Mountain Heaven Sect and your Myriad Poison Sect have always minded our own business. This kid is someone that our Tianshan Sect must capture, so please give us some face, Sect Leader Kang."
Kang Baiyin’s face suddenly darkened, and with a fierce sweep of his sleeve, he stood up from his chair and shouted, "Do I, Kang Baiyin, need others to point fingers and give instructions in my affairs? Even the Sect Leader of your Tianshan Sect doesn’t have the right. You two old things, scram at once, or don’t blame me for Myriad Poison Sect’s discourtesy."
The Great Elder of the Myriad Poison Sect, Yuan Fengyang, also stood up from his chair and shouted, "Myriad Poison Sect doesn’t take orders from anyone in Tianshan Sect, do you want me to personally throw you down the mountain?" Yuan Fengyang exuded an aura of the Sky-Breaking Peak.
The increasingly resolute attitude of the Myriad Poison Sect made Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi anxious, they were itching to start a massacre right there and then. However, they were well aware that this was the territory of the Myriad Poison Sect, and if they really did that, they would be left with nowhere to go but down a deadly path.
"Second Brother, Ye Chenfeng is the one who even killed the young Sect Master of the Yun Tian Sect. If Kang Baiyin and the others knew about this, the Myriad Poison Sect would definitely not have the courage to stop us. However, without the permission of the Sect Master of the Yun Tian Sect, we cannot publicize this matter, so we can only speak to Kang Baiyin alone," Yu Qianshi whispered to Lu Douwen beside him.
Lu Douwen nodded in agreement with Yu Qianshi’s view, it seemed that this was the only way now. They couldn’t just watch Ye Chenfeng slip away before their eyes. Once again, Lu Douwen bowed to Kang Baiyin and said, "Sect Leader Kang, could I have a word with you? We have an important matter to discuss that I assure you will interest you."
Kang Baiyin looked at Lu Douwen’s serious expression. To tell the truth, he also didn’t want the relationship with Tianshan Sect to become too strained, it was just that today he had been led into this situation by Ye Chenfeng. Thus, he had to keep up a tough stance all the way, otherwise, his authority as the Sect Leader would be gone.
"Alright, I’ll give you two one minute of my time," Kang Baiyin said, wanting to see what these two old men, Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi, had to say.
After speaking, Kang Baiyin headed straight toward the grand hall of the Myriad Poison Sect. Before leaving the Training Ground, he signaled the Great Elder Yuan Fengyang with his eyes, meaning that he should keep an eye on Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining.
As for Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi, they followed Kang Baiyin’s footsteps closely, heading toward the grand hall of Myriad Poison Sect as well.
"Today’s disciple selection is temporarily suspended, and we will continue after the Sect Leader deals with the current matter," the Great Elder Yuan Fengyang announced.
"Ye Chenfeng, what should we do now?" Xia Zining whispered, standing next to Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng spread his hands and replied in a low voice, "What else can we do? We’ll just have to roll with the punches. There are at least three or four Sky-Breaking Realm experts watching us nearby, so we definitely can’t escape now. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it!"
...
Inside the grand hall of the Myriad Poison Sect.
When Sect Leader Kang Baiyin heard from Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi about Ye Chenfeng’s actions, he genuinely regretted it. He had not expected Ye Chenfeng to have killed the young Sect Master of the first-rate Yun Tian Sect. Although the Myriad Poison Sect wasn’t afraid of Tianshan Sect, they really were insignificant compared to Yun Tian Sect.
Lu Douwen was very pleased with the change in Kang Baiyin’s expression and said with a smile, "Sect Leader Kang, the Yun Tian Sect hasn’t made this matter public yet. I hope you can keep this secret. Do you still intend to prevent us from capturing that little beast Ye Chenfeng?"
Now that it involved first-rate powers, how could Kang Baiyin dare to stop it? But he had already spoken his mind, and if he were to retract his statement now, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock as Sect Leader?
After pondering for a moment, Kang Baiyin said, "I believe you both understand that as a Sect Leader, the most important thing is to maintain prestige. Just now, I was trapped by that lad, and if I were to immediately go back on my words, it would hardly be appropriate."
"I plan to let that lad continue to participate in the Myriad Poison Sect’s disciple selection. However, please rest assured, the selection is a test of disciples’ talent for concocting poison. That lad definitely won’t be able to make any poison and certainly won’t become a disciple of the Myriad Poison Sect. At that time, there’s no need for you two to take action; we from the Myriad Poison Sect will capture that lad for you. All you need to do is to wait for a while, may I ask what are your thoughts on this?"
Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi, seeing Kang Baiyin’s lower stance, understood his difficulty. After all, they were on the Myriad Poison Sect’s turf, so they said, "Fine, Sect Leader Kang, we do not wish to trouble you. We will stay and enjoy your Myriad Poison Sect’s disciple selection contest."
...
About seven to eight minutes later.
Kang Baiyin returned to the foremost spot of the spectator stands, instructing his disciples to add two seats beside him for Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi to sit. Afterwards, he whispered some words into the ear of the Great Elder, Yuan Fengyang, who simply nodded slightly in response.
"It seems something is amiss." Ye Chenfeng frowned and murmured lowly.
Just as the words left Ye Chenfeng’s lips, Kang Baiyin stood up from his chair once again and said, "We’ve had some misunderstandings with these two Elders from the Tianshan Sect. It seems these two individuals are fugitives of the Tianshan Sect and are not here to participate in the Myriad Poison Sect’s disciple selection; they’re trying to use our Myriad Poison Sect to escape their predicament."
"However, I, Kang Baiyin, am also a person who greatly values trust. Since they have come to participate in the Myriad Poison Sect’s disciple selection, then they must have a profound understanding of concocting poison. If they meet the requirements and become disciples of the Myriad Poison Sect, I, Kang Baiyin, will surely protect them thoroughly."
"But if these two are here to fool the Myriad Poison Sect, what do you all say we should do?"
Kang Baiyin’s eyes swept across the Myriad Poison Sect’s disciples and those who had come for the selection.
"Kill! Such people should be killed directly!" a disciple from the spectator stands suddenly roared.
Wave after wave of similar cries arose.
"Kill! Such people must be killed directly."
"Kill! Such people must be killed directly."
...
Kang Baiyin pressed his palms downward, and the noise on the Training Ground ceased abruptly. He looked meaningfully at Ye Chenfeng and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
"No," Ye Chenfeng replied straightforwardly. If he said he had objections, he would probably be taken down by the people of the Myriad Poison Sect immediately. Previously, it was him who designed the snare for Kang Baiyin to fall into, but now it had completely turned around on him.
Sitting beside Kang Baiyin, Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi were also very pleased with this outcome, thinking secretly, "Kid, let’s see what tricks you can still play now?"
