Bei Lao favored Lin Feng even more, and even went so far as to kill Mo Xie for Lin Feng's sake.

  Nan Gong Ling said it without any reserve, and suddenly the faces of many sect elders changed. They knew what kind of person Bei Lao was, and Lin Feng was actually someone he valued highly.

  Behind Nan Gong Ling's back, a outer sect elder's face changed greatly. This person was Lu Yuan.

  "It's no wonder Xue Yue went to Shi Bi Dong Fu to protect Lin Feng." Lu Yuan's face looked unpleasant, he never thought that Lin Feng's background was so deep, and was valued by Bei Lao. At this moment, he suddenly understood the words of Xue Yue before he left: "You will definitely regret it."

  Lin Feng's heart also slightly stirred, that day being swept away by the Illusory Demon Beast, afterwards nothing was known, didn't think Old Man Bei would be enraged for him, almost killing Mo Xie, this emotion, cannot be repaid.

  In Yunhai Sect, if it's said that Lin Feng has someone he can't bear to part with, there are a few people: his friends Han Man, Jing Yun, and also Bei Lao as well as the taciturn Kong Lao; of course, Liu Fei also counts.

  "Let's not mention the matter of Beilao for now. In short, Mo Xie is still the elder of the inner door, high and above, this is a fact."

  "Moreover, just three days ago, the sect master personally appointed me as an inner disciple. I went to the Stone Wall Cave Mansion with others to receive the inner disciple uniform and token. Wen Ren Yan wants to kill me, Wen Ren Yan is also a sect disciple, he wants to kill me, I naturally won't blame the sect, even if Lu Yuan, who is the outer sect elder, didn't come out to stop him, I have nothing to say."

  "However, as a senior elder of the Yunhai Sect, Lu Yuan not only didn't stop him but even said I deserved to die. Just because my strength is inferior to Wen Renyan's, does that mean everyone whose strength is inferior to Wen Renyan's deserves to die? What kind of logic is this? And twice I asked for an inner sect disciple token and attire, but Lu Yuan only gave me one word: Scram."

  At this point, Lin Feng's voice stopped, and suddenly everyone understood why Lin Feng still called himself an outer disciple, and why he was still wearing the clothes of an outer disciple today. It was all because of the Outer Sect Elder, Lu Yuan.

  A variety of gazes fell on Lu Yuan, each with a different expression. Instantly, Lu Yuan's body tensed up, and an invisible pressure descended upon him.

  "Lu Yuan, is this true?"

  Nangong Ling's voice was calm and collected, but it was filled with an air of majesty that did not allow Lu Yuan to tell lies.

  "Overlord."

  Lu Yuan hung his head low, not daring to look straight at Nan Gong Ling. At this moment, he was filled with regret, wondering why he had stirred up trouble for no reason. He had tried to curry favor with Wen Ren Yan, but ended up offending Lin Feng instead. Now, Wen Ren Yan wouldn't lift a finger to help him out. This was what they called "reaping what you sow".

  Seeing Lu Yuan's reaction, Nan Gong Ling suddenly understood everything. Without needing to say more, he also knew that Lin Feng's words were true. No wonder, he still called himself an outer disciple, it was really laughable.

  "Good, good... your powers are quite great, the inner disciple qualification I bestowed upon you, you've done well, only giving a single word, 'scram', is this 'scram' character for Nan Gong Ling?"

  "I dare not."

  Lu Yuan's head kept sinking, his body slightly trembling. He was just an outer gate elder, without any strong backing, and couldn't compare to Mo Xie at all. Mo Xie had offended Lin Feng and almost got killed on the spot. Lu Yuan regretted it now.

  "I wrote it down at this time."

  Nan Gong Ling's voice was calm, but it made Lu Yuan extremely frightened. He didn't know how Nan Gong Ling planned to deal with him, and it was precisely because of the unknown that he felt fear.

  Looking at Lin Feng, Nan Gong Ling could only smile wryly in exasperation. Three times, each time was so ridiculous, and yet, each time almost cost Lin Feng his life.

  "Master, now you should be able to understand my feelings. In Yunhai Sect, I don't know when I will fall into the hands of Mo Xie's elder. I'm not even sure how many more Mo Xies and Lu Yuans are in Yunhai Sect. Inner disciples may have a higher status than outer disciples, but to the elders, they are still just disciples, killable at will, like grass."

  Lin Feng's words seemed harsh, but every sentence came from the heart and was true, leaving no room for rebuttal. Even Nan Gong Ling had nothing to say in response.

  "Lin Feng, what do you want me to do with Nan Gong Ling?"

  Looking at Lin Feng, Nan Gong Ling spoke up.

  Everyone was shocked in their hearts. Nangong Ling, in order to retain Lin Feng, had completely put down his patriarchal demeanor, and his tone even carried a hint of entreaty.

  "It's actually not Nan Gong Ling's fault, everything is because in this world, the thinking that strength determines everything is deeply rooted."

  Lin Feng saw Nan Gong Ling's attitude, and his heart felt a little bit of goodwill. As the head of the sect, he was willing to put aside his pride, admit his mistake to this outer disciple, and even ask him humbly what he should do. From this, it can be seen that Nan Gong Ling is broad-minded and loves talent.

  "Sect Master, you once told me that only with great power can one gain respect. But have you ever considered, Sect disciples, regardless of their innate talent, all start from the bottom and climb up, constantly progressing? Their starting point is always as weaklings. I ask you, when they were weak, without receiving the sect's respect, what makes you expect them to respect the sect after they become powerful?"

  Lin Feng's words made Nan Gong Ling reflect, yes, no matter how strong the innate talent of a disciple is, they all start from being weak, it's just that some people are discovered and cultivated, receiving attention from the sect, while others are not discovered, just like Lin Feng in the past, which led to today's situation, this is the sect's shortcoming.

  Within the sect, the law must be strictly enforced, without distinction between outsiders and insiders. Even if an elder breaks the law, they should be punished in the same way as a disciple. Only by doing so can the disciples of the sect live in harmony with each other, and there will be no arbitrary killing or persecution of disciples by elders within the sect. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.

  "When the elder commits a crime, he and his disciples are equally guilty; without rules, there is no square or circle."

  Nangong Ling's eyes sparkled with a hint of light, the strong are revered, this is the law that everyone on the Jiuxiao continent follows. The strong have their privileges, the strong can overstep the rules, but what about within the sect?

  Nangong Ling found himself wrong, outside, the strong are tyrannical, but within the sect, there must be sect rules, otherwise it would be like Lin Feng said, those disciples of the sect were not respected when they were weak, and when they became powerful, how could they talk about respecting the sect?

  "This child is born with great talent."

  Nan Gong Ling looked at Lin Feng, stood up and said seriously: "Nan Gong Ling, thank you for the advice. Lin Feng, if one day the sect is managed by you, it will surely prosper and become powerful. I hope you stay."

  By Lin Feng, come to govern the sect?

  Everyone was in an uproar, did South Palace Ling's words contain a profound implication?

  Only to see Lin Feng's nonchalant shake of his head, he wouldn't know how to govern the sect, but having lived for two lifetimes, he understood more than many people, and saw further than many people, but if he were to govern a sect, it wasn't necessarily something he could handle.

  "Master, I didn't intend to leave the sect. I just wanted to express my thoughts and let those people see their foolishness. At the same time, what I want is a reason, a reason that makes me willing to stay."

  Lin Feng's attitude was no longer as cold and hard, if Nan Gong Ling was like Mo Xie and Lu Yuan, Lin Feng would not work for the sect even if he stayed, but now, Lin Feng still admired Nan Gong Ling's character, and it was completely unnecessary for him to betray the sect, so now, he needed a reason.

  "Lin Feng, as long as I, Nan Gong Ling, am here, no one will ever again use their power to oppress you, let alone plot against you or secretly harm you."

  Nangong Ling promised.

  "This is just afterwards, so how about the oppression and humiliation I suffered before?" Lin Feng was not satisfied with this.

  "Lu Yuan, if you disregard my words and look down on the rules of Yunhai Sect, I will abolish your cultivation and strip you of your position as Outer Sect Elder, and expel you from Yunhai Sect."

  Nan Gong Ling's voice was slightly cold, and instantly everyone couldn't help but tremble violently in their hearts. For Lin Feng, Nan Gong Ling wanted to abolish an outer sect elder, this is... killing one as a warning to a hundred.

  "Exonerate the crime." When Lu Yuan heard these words, his face suddenly turned pale, his cultivation was abolished, and he was expelled from the sect. He, Lu Yuan, had undoubtedly become a useless person among useless people, how could he survive in this world?

  "Your crime is unforgivable." Nan Gong Ling's voice was firm and unshakeable. Lu Yuan must be abolished to calm Lin Feng's heart.

  "Someone, save me."

  Lu Yuan knew that Nangong Ling's mind was made up and he couldn't change his mind, so he shouted at Wen Renyan in the canyon.

  However, at this moment, Wen Renyan was thinking about how to deal with Lin Feng. He didn't care about him and coldly swept a glance at Lu Yuan. Wen Renyan ignored him, which made Lu Yuan feel like he wanted to die.

  "Unkind and unjust!"

  Lin Feng's evaluation of Wen Renyan came to mind, and Lu Yuan felt it was so apt. But for the sake of such a person, he had offended Lin Feng and suffered this great calamity, and now he regretted it too late.

  "Lin Feng, are you satisfied with this?" asked Nan Gong Ling.

  Lin Feng looked at Nan Gong Ling and calmly shook his head.

  "Your Highness, it seems you have forgotten one more person."

  Nangong Ling smiled wryly, Lin Feng, you really have character.

  The rest of the crowd was also stunned, their eyes gathered together and fell on Mo Xie's body. Of course, they understood that the person Lin Feng mentioned was none other than Mo Xie.

  However, many people thought that Lin Feng would let this matter go, because Nan Gong Ling asked him if he was satisfied, which was already a hint.

  After all, Mo Ye was a certain person. Not only was he an elder of the inner sect himself, but his father was also the chief elder of the sect's law enforcement, with a status that was unmatched in prestige. To let Nan Gong Ling move against Mo Ye would not only offend Mo Ye, but also offend Mo Cang Lan, which undoubtedly made it difficult for Nan Gong Ling to do so.

  But Lin Feng seemed to have no intention of compromise at all, his words directly pointed at Mo Xie.
