What the hell?
Mining?!
This move made everyone's eyes go wide!
At this point, shouldn't the proper course be to let Young Master Liu go, try every possible means to smooth things over, and then pay a visit to apologize later? That's the so-called "reducing a big issue to a small one," right?
But Elder Yi Feng is different.
Not only did he show no sign of restraint, but he actually added fuel to the fire, ordering the esteemed Young Master Liu to go mining?!
The people of the Shendao Sect were all dumbfounded, exchanging glances filled with disbelief.
The Elder, nervous and trembling, bowed in salute.
"E-Elder Yi Feng?"
"Did this old one mishear? This Young Master Liu's father is an elder of the Fallen God Palace! At this stage, how... how can you detain him for mining?"
"This... this..."
Before Yi Feng could respond, Liu Haotian, his face flushed with shame and anger, pointed a furious finger!
"You! You! You are going too far!"
"Daring to utter such humiliating words in front of this young master is simply seeking death!"
Yi Feng gave him a speechless glance.
"You're absolutely right."
Liu Haotian was left speechless, suddenly at a loss for a retort.
The old men behind him were exploding with rage, trembling as they cursed!
"You insolent brat! How dare you!"
"Elder Liu is a figure of immense stature! By humiliating Young Master Liu like this, you are tarnishing the reputation of the Fallen God Palace! Death ten thousand times over wouldn't absolve your crime!"
"You..."
Before they could finish, Yi Feng casually waved his hand, delivering several slaps!
"Smack! Smack! Smack!"
A series of crisp sounds rang out, and the old men were all sent tumbling to the ground, seeing stars and unable to get up!
Yi Feng gave them another speechless look before speaking again.
"Enough noise!"
"Do you have to keep yapping? If his father weren't an elder, I wouldn't even bother keeping him to mine! This matter is settled. Either mine, or die. Choose for yourselves."
Hiss...
The sound of sharp intakes of breath grew even more intense, the very air around them seeming to heat up!
Not only was Liu Haotian shocked beyond belief, but even the watching cultivators felt their heads buzzing, utterly stunned by Elder Yi Feng's domineering attitude and terrifying cultivation level!
Those slaps just now were absurdly powerful!
That seemingly casual palm strike was probably just the tip of the iceberg of the elder's power, yet it was already too fast for anyone present to clearly see. The might of his full strength was simply unimaginable.
So, Elder Yi Feng's cultivation was actually this formidable!
Even more frightening was that this elder didn't even give face to the Fallen God Palace or Elder Liu. This was truly terrifying, his audacity knew no bounds!
Just what kind of figure was he to possess such confidence?!
Suddenly.
Everyone felt Yi Feng becoming even more inscrutable, while also feeling their hearts tremble with fear at how this situation was unfolding!
Despite the immense fury burning within Liu Haotian.
When he met Yi Feng's icy gaze again, he found himself unable to speak, seemingly shrouded in the fear of death. Forced by circumstance, he had to swallow his pride, burying his shame and anger deep in his eyes.
"What are you looking at? Get to mining already?"
That single, calm sentence made him feel as cold as ice, pressure bearing down on him like a mountain!
Liu Haotian clenched his teeth and fists, standing rigidly for only a few breaths before his face finally turned deathly pale. Silently, he began walking towards the foot of the mountain. Seeing this, the other old men hurriedly followed.
Not long after.
The once arrogant master and his servants were all at the mountain base, huffing and puffing as they mined.
The cultivators watching from a distance felt their scalps go numb!
It was as if what they were mining wasn't ore, but the very lives of everyone present. Each clang seemed to foretell the future demise of another cultivator in this place!
Big trouble was brewing!
After hearing a few clangs, the Shendao Sect Elder already felt a chill running down his spine.
He hurriedly bowed to Yi Feng, his voice full of trepidation.
"Elder..."
"This! This won't do, it absolutely won't do!"
"Making Young Master Liu perform such hard labor... when his father comes seeking justice in the future, how could we possibly bear it? We beg you, Elder, to show mercy and leave some room for maneuver!"
Seeing the Elder's nervous expression, Yi Feng slowly shook his head.
"Ah."
"These people are used to being arrogant and domineering. No matter how much you endure, peace is unlikely. Continually yielding will only bring you more humiliation."
"Don't worry. When his father comes, I'll take full responsibility."
Yi Feng's actions might seem rash, but he had actually thought it through clearly.
Regardless of whether he could withstand the consequences, he would stand firm. Even if that Elder Liu was very powerful, and in the future killed everyone here, including Yi Feng himself, as long as he achieved immortality and could revive these people afterward, that would be the best outcome—and also the worst-case plan he was prepared for.
Of course, if Elder Liu was all bark and no bite, it would be even less of a concern.
Hearing this, the Shendao Sect Elder also gritted his teeth and bowed.
"Your righteousness is immense, Elder. We are endlessly grateful."
"It is indeed as you say. Things have reached this point, and further yielding won't change anything. We might as well fight! After all, we have Liu Haotian in hand, giving us a sliver of hope. We are willing to stand or fall with you, Elder!"
As these words were spoken, the crowd behind him all clasped their fists in unison!
"We are willing to stand or fall with the Elder!"
Earlier, having witnessed many fellow disciples being killed and forced by reality not to confront Liu Haotian, they now saw a chance for vengeance and had no other choice. All the cultivators felt their blood boil, gritting their teeth!
Those who walk the path of cultivation defy the heavens from the very start; they never fear a life-or-death struggle!
Seeing everyone's resolve, Yi Feng also nodded solemnly.
"Good. Then let's fight!"
With that, Yi Feng looked towards the mountain foot and gave a serious instruction.
"Keep a close eye on those few. Although they're injured, we must not be careless in the slightest. If there's any movement, notify me immediately."
The Elder repeatedly agreed.
"Please rest assured, Elder. They are already severely injured. We will soon use methods to seal their cultivation, ensuring they mine here peacefully. There will be absolutely no slip-ups!"
Hearing this, Yi Feng nodded in relief.
That kid surnamed Liu loves to show off; it's time he tasted the bitterness of reality and had his bad attitude corrected. Hopefully, his old man will come soon and not disappoint.
After giving a few more instructions, Yi Feng summoned his sword and flew off into the distance.
Watching the streak of light disappear into the horizon, the Shendao Sect members and the Black Dragon miners sighed in awe.
This elder's methods are truly profound and unfathomable.
The mining site resumed operations, but everyone's hearts were weighed down by the impending major conflict, feeling somewhat tense. Even the Elder personally guarded the foot of the collapsed mine, keeping a constant watch on Liu Haotian and the others.
Liu Haotian, accustomed to such high status, couldn't shed his arrogance even with his cultivation sealed.
"Scum!"
"You lowly commoners dare to rely on an outsider and make this young master mine?!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Elder's face darkened with anger.
Recalling Elder Yi Feng's instructions, he felt a bit more emboldened. Adding to that the hatred for his slain fellow disciples, his fury surged forth instantly!
Stop with the damn posturing!
I'm facing a potential bloody battle any moment, not even afraid of death anymore, and I still have to put up with your crap?!
The more he thought, the angrier he got. The Elder gritted his teeth and lashed out with a whip!
"You're the damn lowlife! Your whole family are lowlifes!"
The crisp cracks of the whip made Liu Haotian gasp in pain. Humiliation welled up in his heart endlessly. Gritting his teeth, he lifted a piece of ore, engraving this profound disgrace deep into his memory!
If he got the chance later, he would definitely send a message to his father and have these lowly commoners ground to dust!
