Super War God in the City

Yu Yongchang's face turned red with fury as he burst forward, unable to accept his defeat by Ling Fan after being beaten by a single stroke in front of the entire Witchcraft Sect.

Already losing his reason, he shouted, "You impudent boy, I've had enough, I'll fight you to the death today!"

Yu Yongchang decided to use a secret technique, burning his True Yuan to fight; even in death, he must regain his honor!

His words finally confirmed the suspicions of several Peak Masters of the Wushen Lineage.

Lan Xingyuan's gaze flashed immediately, and he declared sternly, "Are you planning a rebellion? I will take him back for personal interrogation. Any issues will be dealt with at the Wushen Grand Assembly tomorrow!"

Ending his speech, he swept a cold glance around, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily when he saw those injured Young Peak Masters lying on the ground.

However, his heart clenched, and his expression stiffened when he saw Ruan Yulong, lying in the distance, his life uncertain; this truly shocked him.

Finally, his gaze fell on Ling Fan behind him, seeing the young man's indifferent and calm demeanor without a trace of emotional fluctuation.

"Could it be that this youngster did all this?" Lan Xingyuan muttered to himself inwardly.

"Someone, take those causing trouble back to Wushen Peak for interrogation!" Lan Xingyuan immediately ordered Wei Xuewen and others before turning to leave.

Seeing this, Lan Zihan inwardly heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly called out to Ling Fan, "Ling Fan, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xuewen and the others also quickly reacted, swiftly escorting the Saintess and Ling Fan away.

These men were not here to supervise; they were clearly there to protect.

Previously, they had resented the Saintess for her reckless behavior in appointing a Guest Official Protector, but now they saw it was an unexpected pleasant surprise!

Wei Yuanjie and the others in the distance took a deep breath, their faces turning from white to purple with resentment, quietly following behind the convoy.

Dong Yanghua's face was ashen. He lacked the confidence to rashly confront either Ling Fan or Lan Xingyuan alone.

But, if these two were to join forces, it would be dangerous, so he dared not gamble and could only watch helplessly as Lan Xingyuan took Ling Fan away.

Yu Yongchang's eyes were also bloodshot as he bit down hard on his teeth, refraining from acting impulsively.

However, after this incident, it was absolutely impossible for him to switch sides to the Wushen Lineage!

As he watched Lan Xingyuan and the others vanish from sight, Dong Yanghua gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, "Gentlemen, to the council hall!"

With a cold statement, he flashed toward the council hall.

The others exchanged looks and, after having someone attend to the injured Young Peak Masters, also set off toward the council hall!

Yu Yongchang gritted his teeth and followed as well.

...

Inside the council hall at Wushen Peak.

All the important figures of the Wushen Lineage were present, with Ling Fan standing below, neither servile nor overbearing.

Lan Zihan detailed the events that transpired on Zhu Rong Peak to the Peak Masters, leaving them speechless for a long time.

Wei Yuanjie and others stood to the side, heads bowed in silence, recognizing that the Ling Fan of today was no longer someone they could trivially criticize or mock!

After a moment, Lan Xingyuan took a deep breath and said lightly, "So you're saying, all the strength of our Wushen Lineage is here now!

Tomorrow, I might face a push from the other nine peaks of the Witchcraft Sect, kid, you've really caused me a lot of trouble!"

Hearing this, Wei Xuewen and the others felt a chill, realizing that if Ling Fan weren't such a formidable figure, they would have already started scolding.

After all, this guy now seemed like an uncertain hope, a significant asset indeed.

Since the incident had already occurred, complaining was useless, they could only choose the best solution. If they were to break with Ling Fan, the Wushen Lineage might be completely finished!

Seeing this, Ling Fan calmly stood up and smiled faintly, "Since I dare to stir up trouble, I naturally have the capability to handle it. The matter I promised to Lan Zihan, I will definitely accomplish!"

Facing Ling Fan's calm demeanor, Lan Xingyuan raised his eyebrows, somewhat in admiration.

"You are young and your strength is impressive, but..." Lan Xingyuan paused midway and did not continue.

Instead, he turned to look at Wei Xuewen and the other two, "What do you think about tomorrow's Witchcraft Sect's grand meeting?"

The three exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat dejected and pessimistic.

"Sect Hierarch, today's incident has blown up a bit too much. Given the temperament of Zhu Rong Peak, tomorrow there's an eight or nine out of ten chance they'll force a siege!" Wei Xuewen said with a worried face.

"While the publicly known experts of each peak are not much of a threat, the Ascetic Practitioners of the Zhu Rong Lineage, who generally stay out of worldly affairs, might also get involved!" Huang Yutang said somberly.

Hearing this, Lan Xingyuan's expression also turned grim. The Ascetic Practitioners of the Witchcraft Sect were a unique group, focusing solely on martial arts without concerning themselves with worldly matters.

Normally, they would only take action when the Witchcraft Sect faced significant danger.

In a past incident involving the Witchcraft Sect, the Ascetic Practitioners had intervened, and it was due to their participation that the Eight Major Sects eventually retreated.

However, after that incident, many of the Ascetic Practitioners were injured and later passed away, leaving the Zhu Rong Lineage with the most survivors, yet no more than ten.

The Wushen Lineage had only three, far from sufficient, and among them, two were from Di Jiang Peak. The Wushen Peak had only one.

"Theoretically, they should not get involved in internal affairs of the sect, but this Young Master Ling has injured quite a few Young Peak Masters of various lineages!

I'm afraid they will use this as a pretext to persuade the Ascetic Practitioners to take action, and even fabricate charges against you, claiming the Sect Hierarch is unworthy and colluding with outsiders against the disciples of the Witchcraft Sect..." Gu Xingchao started hesitantly.

As he spoke, he glanced briefly at Ling Fan and continued, "So, the solution to the problem may still lie with this Young Master Ling. I believe the Saintess wouldn't misjudge a person!"

This guy's attitude had suddenly changed. He had realized they had no other options and might as well treat a dead horse as if it were still alive.

Since this young man could boast so confidently, they might as well go along with it. After all, if he said he could handle it, let him prove it!

After all, this young man was also brought back by the Saintess. Now that the Sect Hierarch had emerged from seclusion, any headache should be left for the Sect Hierarch to deal with.

Lan Xingyuan was old and shrewd; he could clearly see the resentment in these few people's hearts!

When he first heard the news during his seclusion, he was almost shocked out of his wits. The relationships between the various lineages of the Witchcraft Sect were delicate, and maintaining this balance had already been a major effort for him.

Now, his daughter had unexpectedly brought back a young man from who knows where, turning this delicate balance into complete chaos.

The moment he received the news, he had the urge to kill Ling Fan with a single slap!

However, upon arriving at Zhu Rong Peak and personally witnessing the scene, he ultimately changed his mind.

Ling Fan's capabilities had greatly shocked him.

Without waiting for Lan Xingyuan to express his view, Ling Fan spoke, "Sect Hierarch, you need not worry about this matter. Leave it to me. However, I have something I would like to discuss with you alone!"

Hearing this, Lan Xingyuan pondered slightly. He also had many questions he wanted to ask his daughter!

For instance, where Lan Zihan had been recently, and where she had found this young man, among other things.

He then instructed Wei Xuewen and the others, "You all withdraw first and keep a close eye on the movements of the Zhu Rong lineages!"

Wei Xuewen and the others complied, promptly withdrawing with Wei Yuanjie and the rest.

A moment later, only Lan Xingyuan, his daughter, Ling Fan, and Feng Xiaobai remained in the hall.
