Chapter 335: Chapter 172: Celestial Martial Grand Assembly
"What bullshit!"
Before Fang Shuwen could even speak, Feng Jihen was already seething with uncontrollable rage:
"Was Hero Fang the one who created this bloodshed?
"Wasn’t it those despicable and shameless scoundrels in the Jianghu who started this trouble?
"Wasn’t it that bunch of bastards who wanted to suck a little girl’s blood to increase their power? Weren’t they the ones who, driven by greed and obsession, brought this fatal disaster upon themselves?
"What do you mean, ’Hero Fang should cease the hostilities’?
"Before you said that, why didn’t you consider telling that pack of animals in the Jianghu to cease hostilities? To stop the conflict?"
Li Chengfeng was stunned. What he said did make sense.
Even if Feng Jihen hadn’t said a word, he had planned to do something about this matter. He had even already discussed it with his Sect.
’But... Fang Shuwen hasn’t even spoken, so why is the Eldest Young Master of Feng Family Manor so filled with righteous indignation?’
However, now was not the time to dwell on that question. He hurriedly said:
"Eldest Young Master Feng, please don’t be angry. What I just said was indeed inappropriate. I ask Hero Fang and Eldest Young Master Feng to calm your anger.
"Regarding the matter of Long Qingzhi, my Cyan Sheep Sect feels the same indignation.
"For the so-called Glazed Saint Body, not only did they kill and wipe out clans, but they also hunted her down relentlessly. Such actions are despicable.
"Therefore, the Cyan Sheep Sect has issued a decree: Anyone who continues to hunt Long Qingzhi will be making an enemy of our Cyan Sheep Sect."
Feng Jihen snorted. ’Now *that* sounds like something a human would say,’ he thought.
Otherwise, what was this nonsense about running to Fang Shuwen and telling him to cease hostilities? On what grounds should he? It wasn’t him who started the trouble. Was Fang Shuwen supposed to just give up and let himself be captured?
It was utterly inhuman!
Fang Shuwen looked at the furious Feng Jihen and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He said softly,
"This isn’t the place to talk. Why don’t we all go inside?"
"Alright."
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He never would have thought that Fang Shuwen would be easier to talk to than Feng Jihen.
’Between the two of them, who’s the real Demon Evil God?’
He didn’t know the inside story. If he knew what Feng Family Manor and Feng Jihen had been through, he wouldn’t find it strange that Feng Jihen was so full of aggression.
With Fang Shuwen’s invitation, the group immediately entered Feng Family Manor and went to the main hall, where they took their seats as host and guests.
Fang Shuwen had intended to take a subordinate seat, but Feng Jihen insisted against it.
He truly saw Fang Shuwen as his savior, and his words from the previous night were by no means just a momentary courtesy.
After having Fang Shuwen take the seat of honor, he didn’t even sit down himself. Instead, he stood before Fang Shuwen’s seat like a loyal guard, staring coldly at Li Chengfeng.
He looked ready to trap the bastard and beat him senseless for a single wrong word.
Li Chengfeng subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Even Fang Shuwen hadn’t put this much pressure on him.
After organizing his thoughts, Li Chengfeng finally stood up.
"Hero Fang, for many years, my Northern Domain and your Eastern Domain have kept to ourselves.
"I know the reason for your actions, Hero Fang. Ye Wucheng and Ye Bai went to the Eastern Domain and provoked you first. Your response is simply returning the favor. I and my Cyan Sheep Sect believe that this matter... is understandable.
"The Sword God Palace has acted arrogantly and underestimated the Jianghu. Even if Hero Fang had wiped out the Sword God Palace completely, my Cyan Sheep Sect would have had nothing to say.
"In fact, if it were only that, Hero Fang would not be facing the resistance you are now.
"But..."
Here, his tone shifted slightly:
"It’s just that now, because of the variable that is Miss Long, the entire Northern Domain Martial World has become unstable.
"They are greedy, so they use righteousness as a pretext to try and suppress you, Hero Fang, and seize the opportunity to capture Miss Long to obtain the Glazed Saint Body.
"My Cyan Sheep Sect believes that, based purely on the goals and actions of these people, even if you were to kill every last one of them, Hero Fang, they would have brought it upon themselves..."
Hearing him say this, Fang Shuwen couldn’t help but start to laugh.
"So, you intend to join forces with me, for your Cyan Sheep Sect to join us, and together we’ll slaughter every last one of these damn bastards?"
"Well..."
Li Chengfeng shook his head awkwardly.
"Hero Fang, you jest."
But Fang Shuwen’s smile vanished.
"Am I? But I’m not laughing."
Li Chengfeng’s heart tightened. Looking up at Fang Shuwen again, he felt that although this man was young, just by sitting there he exuded an aura as deep as an abyss and as immovable as a mountain.
He wasn’t angry, and yet it seemed as if he could summon thunder.
There was an intimidating power brewing within him, one that inspired fear without any show of anger. It felt as if his true wrath would be an unstoppable apocalypse.
This time, beads of sweat truly appeared on Li Chengfeng’s forehead.
He then heard Fang Shuwen say slowly,
"I don’t know what your Cyan Sheep Sect intends to do, nor do I care.
"But if you’re just here to state your position with a few pretty words, then don’t bother.
"Your position... is insignificant."
The words hit Li Chengfeng like a slap to the face, making his cheeks sting.
Behind him, the faces of several junior martial brothers and sisters also turned red. One of them took a step forward, about to speak, but Li Chengfeng stopped them with a wave of his hand.
"Hero Fang speaks reasonably. However, my Cyan Sheep Sect has absolutely not come here just to offer a few pretty words.
"Everything I said just now came from the bottom of my heart.
"Please do not misunderstand, Hero Fang... The Cyan Sheep Sect’s position is exactly as I have stated.
"It’s just that... the Cyan Sheep Sect is, after all, a Sect of the Northern Domain. As the saying goes, we prosper and fall together. Even if we despise what those people are doing, and even if we wish we could slaughter them all to sever their greed, hatred, and delusion..."
