C448 Battle of Words
Murong Shenfeng had changed his stance when he saw the change in the situation. He knew that he couldn't be obedient today, so he couldn't help but admit defeat. His unyielding attitude from before was gone.
"Since that's the case, then Divine Wind can only apologize for his excessive attitude from before. It wasn't that Divine Wind wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Mr. Chen, it was just that the world wasn't in a good mood right now. I truly fear that all living things in the world will suffer a calamity, please forgive me, Mr. Chen! " Murong Shenfeng cupped his fist slightly. His expression remained stern. He knew that he had messed up the matter. The man behind him wouldn't stand on his side either. He was a powerful man. How could his own family compare to him?
Chen Tianming was really curious about who gave Murong Shenfeng such confidence to make things difficult for him. Although Murong Shenfeng's facial expression didn't change, he could still see a trace of panic in his eyes. Of course... Chen Tianming wouldn't let him go so easily. He said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. But I have a question in my heart that I should ask Mister Divine Wind!"
Murong Shenfeng's heart skipped a beat, he knew that Chen Tianming's counterattack was about to begin, he immediately smiled stiffly and said: "Sir, please ask."
Chen Tianming nodded and smiled, "Previously Mister Divine Wind said that he and Yinn Shang are sworn brothers. Then I have a question,mister Divine Wind and that Yinn Shang have such a good relationship. Why didn't he know about the things that Yinn Shang had done behind his back? " Pausing, Chen Tianming looked at Murong Shenfeng with a smile that wasn't a smile. He continued, "Or should I say... Mister Divine Wind, you already knew about it, and you only hid something for your big brother... perhaps... What?" Chen Tianming didn't finish his next words.
But even so, the way the people looked at Murong Shenfeng became even more unfriendly, as if they wanted to eat him whole.
When Murong Shenfeng heard Chen Tianming's words, his expression changed instantly. How could he not understand the hidden meaning behind these words? He immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, "Mr. Chen, when you speak, you should ask for real evidence. Please be careful with your words."
"Ha,i only said a little bit of my thoughts. Why would Mister Divine Wind be angry? Even if you really colluded with those thieves, we don't have any proof! " Chen Tianming mocked.
"Chen Tianming, you..." Murong Shenfeng was furious. He never thought that Chen Tianming would use this matter to bite back at him, and push his entire family to their deaths. He took a deep breath. Calming his emotions, he immediately cupped his hands towards Chen Tianming and saluted, "Mr. Chen. Please be magnanimous. If you want to pin such a huge blame on me, then I can't bear it either! Heaven and earth can judge. My Mu Rong residence has nothing to do with those rebels!"
Chen Tianming nodded his head and said in satisfaction," Very good, since Mister Divine Wind says so, then the doubts in my heart will fade away. However, what I want to say is,i am a person who is born petty, so why should I forgive you?"
When he heard these words, Murong Shenfeng's face instantly turned pale. He knew that Chen Tianming wouldn't let him go no matter what. For a moment, his heart was filled with regret. Why should he listen to that person's words and provoke such a disastrous star?
He looked at the crowd on his right side, and his heart was filled with endless bitterness and resentment. He could only hope that man would stand out and speak up for him. Given that man's status in cultivation realm, it was very possible that he would help him. His eyes couldn't help but become even more fervent.
Chen Tianming saw the changes in Murong Shenfeng's facial expression. Following his gaze, Chen Tianming discovered that he was actually asking Xuan Ming for help. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It seemed that the person who had hidden behind Murong Shenfeng's back and ordered Murong Shenfeng to make things difficult for him was the patriarch of Emei.
Murong Shenfeng was indeed looking at Xuan Ming urgently. Probably because he had been looking at Xuan Ming for too long, most of the people had already noticed the clues in his eyes.
Xuan Ming sat upright as if he did not care about the outside world. He poured wine and drank, as if everything that had happened in front of him had nothing to do with him. But after a long time... Xuan Ming slowly sighed and said, "Mister God Wind. I have already told you not to offend Chen Tianming because of this matter. It's fine if you don't listen to me, but now you are looking at me like this. Instead, you have caused a misunderstanding! " Xuan Ming's voice sounded a little annoyed.
"Master Xuan Ming, you..." Murong Shenfeng was shocked for a moment. He did not expect Xuan Ming to break the bridge after crossing the river. He could not help but laugh at the sky. "Haha! He did not expect this. He really did not expect this. I, Murong Shenfeng, am not considered wise in my previous life. However,i can be considered to be cautious with my words and actions. I actually made an error in judgment. One day,i will stand on the wrong side of the team." He put on a cold face and stopped looking at Xuan Ming. He turned to Chen Tianming and said, "Since it has come to this,i have nothing to say. Mr. Chen. I have offended you earlier. It's all my fault. Please don't take your anger out on my people! " After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall. Just as everyone was wondering what Murong Shenfeng wanted to do, Murong Shenfeng, who had just stepped out of the hall, slammed his palm down on his head. Half of his skull was instantly cut off. Blood mixed with white brain matter splattered everywhere.
Everyone in the hall burst into an uproar. Everyone started to mutter, and the scene in front of them became somewhat chaotic.
Most of the people were looking at Chen Tianming and Xuan Ming, as if they wanted to see something. Murong Shenfeng was obviously forced to death by these two men. There was no need to mention Chen Tianming. Would he still want to have a good ending after offending Chen Tianming? It was already good enough that he didn't vent his anger on his own people, but the one that people couldn't see clearly was Xuan Ming. This Sect Master of Emei Sect had only said one sentence from the beginning to the end, but judging from Murong Shenfeng's expression at that time, it wasn't hard to tell that he had something to do with Xuan Ming.
Luo Fei, who was standing at the side, didn't expect the situation to develop like this. The originally good atmosphere in the hall had been completely destroyed. Luo Fei solemnly ordered his men to collect Murong Shenfeng's corpse. He also ordered his men to send Murong Shenfeng's corpse to the island where his family was stationed for the Mu Rong family disciples to safeguard. After that, he returned to the hall and started to greet the guests. However... After this incident, no one had the mood to drink anymore.
The interest of drinking this wine was waning. It didn't take long before it quickly dispersed.
Chen Tianming said goodbye to Luo Fei. When he walked past Xuan Ming, he looked at him as if he was pointing at something. He stopped and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Leader Xuan Ming, long time no see. I have a piece of advice for you. Do you want to hear it?"
"If you have something to say, please say it!" Xuan Ming was still drinking. He did not even raise his eyelids.
Chen Tianming smiled and moved closer to Xuan Ming. He lowered his voice and said, "Next time you want to find someone stronger. It is best to be able to fight. People like Murong Shenfeng who only know how to talk but do not have a brain and can be used as a gun to get rid of,i usually do not care."
Xuan Ming's face suddenly turned green and white. Finally, he looked up at Chen Tianming and replied, "I have learned!" The wine cup in his hand was crushed with a cracking sound.
Chen Tianming let out a loud laugh and walked out of the hall in a carefree manner. Only the people in the hall were left with their jaws dropped. Although Chen Tianming spoke in a low voice just now, which one of the people in the hall wasn't a person with a profound cultivation base? Every word that Chen Tianming said was heard very clearly.
Everyone looked at Xuan Ming with a strange look in their eyes. Even the few cultivator who were close to Xuan Ming couldn't help but step back a little. It was better to stay away from someone who would take advantage of someone and break the bridge after crossing the river. Almost everyone had the same thought in their hearts.
It could be said that with Chen Tianming's light advice just now, Xuan Ming and Emei Sect were immediately isolated.
After the banquet had dispersed, it seemed like there was no longer a good show to watch. It was just that everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts. The decline of Emei Sect was almost foreseeable. Even Su Ling and Ming Zhen looked at Xuan Ming with slight sympathy.
"This Chen Tianming really can't be easily provoked! Otherwise, it would be like a ticking time bomb was hanging on his body!" Luo Fei looked at the people who had left and sighed in his heart for no reason. He was also slightly proud of his wise move of taking the initiative to get closer to Chen Tianming.
...
Chen Tianming didn't stay in the accommodation that Luo Fei had arranged for him on the mountain. Instead, he went back to Western Ring Island to stay with Qin Sheng.
When Chen Tianming returned to the small pavilion, Qin Sheng was already waiting there for him to drink tea. When he saw Chen Tianming return, Qin Sheng welcomed him with a joyful expression.
"Senior, you're back? I thought you would stay on the mountain today!" Qin Sheng said with a smile. He could feel that Qin Sheng's happiness came from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Tianming smiled. "I don't like the atmosphere on the mountain!"
Qin Sheng also nodded and agreed. "That's right. Master's Uncle Xing also asked me to live on the mountain. I rejected him. He is a group of big shots. He has to greet anyone he sees. It is so annoying. It is better to live comfortably with his junior brothers and sisters."
The two of them went to the attic. Qin Sheng attentively brewed another pot of tea for Chen Tianming and brewed it for him. He smiled and said, "There is a small meeting in the afternoon in the sect. The agenda seems to be leaving tomorrow at noon! Senior, why don't you come with us?"
Chen Tianming smiled and looked at Qin Sheng and said with amusement: "What are you thinking?"
Qin Sheng's face turned red when he heard that. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Hey, hey, hey. With an expert like senior following the instructions, it would be safer along the way! Moreover,uncle Xing also said that the journey would not be too smooth. Although our Shushan Sword Sect isn't a small sect, it's not very possible for us to take care of everything. However, if we can have senior's help, those dangers won't be enough. Heh, just treat it as helping a nephew. Senior, you can't just watch Tian Xin and Faang Yi be in danger and not care about it, right? "
Actually, it did not matter where Chen Tianming went. His only goal was to protect Yuu Yu and it did not matter if he wanted to take care of these juniors. It was just a small effort.
Chen Tianming smiled faintly and said, "You are a thief. You cannot believe it! Hey, since you have said it, then I will not care about your face. Ugly words can be put in front of you. When the time comes, the three of you just follow me. You want me to take care of your family members... I don't care! "
Qin Sheng felt a little disheartened. His wishful thinking had not worked, but thinking about it again, it was not bad to be able to follow Chen Tianming, this great expert. At least Tian Xin and Faang Yi would not be in danger.
Thinking of this, Qin Sheng said dejectedly, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Senior to take care of those two junior sisters!"
Looking at Qin Sheng's expression, Chen Tianming could not help but smile.
