Absolutely uncompromising

The North Elder favored Lin Feng so much that he almost killed Mo Ye for Lin Feng's sake?

Nangong Ling mentioned this without any hesitation, immediately changing the expressions of many elders. They knew who the North Elder was, and the fact that he valued Lin Feng was surprising.

Not far behind Nangong Ling, an outer disciple, Lu Yuan, had a drastic change in his expression.

"Terrible. No wonder Xue Yue went to the Stone Wall Cave to protect Lin Feng." Lu Yuan's expression was grim. He never expected Lin Feng's background to be so profound. The fact that the North Elder valued him made him suddenly understand Xue Yue's words before he left, "You will regret this."

Lin Feng's heart also trembled. He had been taken away by the Illusion Demon Beast that day and knew nothing about what happened afterwards. He never expected the North Elder to be so angry for his sake that he almost killed Mo Ye. Lin Feng felt truly grateful for this kindness.

In Yunhai Sect, if there was anyone Lin Feng would miss, it would be his few friends: Han Man, Jing Yun, as well as the North Elder and the reticent Elder Kong. Of course, there was also a bit of feeling towards that woman, Li Fei.

"As for the matter of the North Elder, let's put it aside for now. In any case, Mo Ye is still an inner disciple, high above, this is a fact."

"In addition, three days ago, the Sect Master appointed me as an inner disciple. I went to the Stone Wall Cave with others to receive the inner disciple attire and token. Wen Renyan wanted to kill me. Wen Renyan is also a sect disciple, and he wanted to kill me. Naturally, I will not blame the sect. Even if Lu Yuan, the outer disciple elder, did not come out to stop it, I have nothing to say."

"But, Lu Yuan, as an elder of Yunhai Sect, not only did not stop it, but also said I should die, just because I am not as strong as Wen Renyan. Does that mean everyone who is not as strong as Wen Renyan should die? What kind of logic is this? I asked for the inner disciple token and attire twice, but Elder Lu Yuan only gave me one word, 'go away.'"

At this point, Lin Feng's voice paused. Suddenly, everyone understood why Lin Feng still called himself an outer disciple, and why he was still wearing the outer disciple attire. It was all because of the outer disciple elder, Lu Yuan.

Eyes of various expressions fell on Lu Yuan. Suddenly, Lu Yuan felt a tightness all over his body, an invisible pressure descending upon him.

"Lu Yuan, is this true?"

Nangong Ling's voice was indifferent, but full of majesty, leaving no room for Lu Yuan to lie.

"Master."

Lu Yuan kept his head down, not daring to look directly at Nangong Ling. At this moment, he regretted it deeply. For what reason did he cause such trouble? To please Wen Renyan, he offended Lin Feng. Now, Wen Renyan would not stand up for him, and this was the result of his own actions.

Seeing Lu Yuan's reaction, Nangong Ling understood everything without the need for further words. He also knew that what Lin Feng had said was true. No wonder he still called himself an outer disciple. It was truly ridiculous.

"Alright... You both have great power. I granted the status of an inner disciple, but you did well, only giving one word, 'go away.' Is this 'go away' meant for me, Nangong Ling?"

"I dare not."

Lu Yuan's head kept bowing lower, his body trembling slightly. He was just an outer disciple elder, without any strong backing. Compared to Mo Ye, he was nothing. Mo Ye offended Lin Feng, and almost got killed on the spot. He regretted deeply.

"I will remember this."

Nangong Ling's voice was calm, but it made Lu Yuan extremely panicked. He did not know how Nangong Ling intended to deal with him. It was the unknown that made him fearful.

Looking at Lin Feng, Nangong Ling could only smile bitterly. Three times, each time was so ridiculous, and each time almost cost Lin Feng his life.

"Master, now, you should understand my feelings. In Yunhai Sect, I don't know when I will be targeted by Elder Mo Ye. I also don't know how many Mo Yes and Lu Yuans there are in Yunhai Sect. Although being an inner disciple is higher in status than being an outer disciple, to the elders, it is still just a disciple. They can kill at will, like weeds."

Lin Feng's words seemed harsh, but each one came from the heart, each one was true, and irrefutable. Nangong Ling, too, had no words to respond.

"Lin Feng, how should I, Nangong Ling, act?"

Looking at Lin Feng, Nangong Ling spoke.

Everyone was surprised. Nangong Ling, in order to retain Lin Feng, completely put aside his status as the Sect Master, and even spoke with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"In fact, this is not Nangong Ling's fault. It's all because in this world, strength determines everything, and this idea is deeply ingrained."

Seeing Nangong Ling's attitude, Lin Feng felt a slight appreciation in his heart. As the leader of a sect, he was willing to put aside his pride, admit his mistakes to an outer disciple like him, and even ask how he should act. From this, one could see that Nangong Ling was broad-minded and valued talents.

"Master, you once told me that only with strong strength can one gain respect. But have you ever thought that sect disciples, regardless of their talent, all start from the bottom, continuously progressing? Their starting point is weakness. Tell me, when they are weak, if they do not receive respect from the sect, when they become strong, why should they be expected to respect the sect?"

Lin Feng's words made Nangong Ling reflect. Indeed, no matter how talented a disciple was, they all started from weakness. It's just that some people were discovered and valued by the sect, while others

 were not, like the previous Lin Feng. Hence, the current situation. This was a flaw in the sect.

"Within the sect, law enforcement must be strict, without distinction between outer and inner disciples. Even if elders commit crimes, they should be treated the same as disciples. Only in this way can sect disciples live in harmony, and there will be no arbitrary killing or persecution of disciples by elders within the sect. Without rules, there is no order."

"Long elders committing crimes are the same as disciples; without rules, there is no order."

Nangong Ling's eyes were shining with light. The strong are respected, a rule followed by everyone on the Nine Heavens Continent. The strong have their privileges, they go beyond the rules, but in the sect?

Nangong Ling realized he was wrong. Outside, the strong are overbearing, but inside the sect, there must be rules of the sect. Otherwise, as Lin Feng said, those sect disciples who are weak and do not receive respect from the sect, when they become strong, how can they be expected to respect the sect?

"This child is a natural talent."

Nangong Ling looked at Lin Feng, stood up, and said seriously, "Nangong Ling has learned from you, Lin Feng. If you were to govern the sect in the future, it would definitely prosper and grow. I hope you stay."

Lin Feng to govern the sect?

Everyone was shocked. Did Nangong Ling's words imply something deeper?

But Lin Feng casually shook his head. Where would he govern a sect? He understood more than many people because of his two lives, and his vision was longer, but it didn't mean he could manage a sect.

"Master, I have no intention of leaving the sect. I just want to express my thoughts and let those people see their ignorance. At the same time, what I want is a reason, a reason for me to be willing to stay."

Lin Feng's attitude was no longer so harsh. If Nangong Ling was like Mo Ye and Lu Yuan, Lin Feng, even if he stayed in the sect, would not serve the sect in the future. Now, Nangong Ling's behavior was more admirable to Lin Feng. He had no need to leave the sect, so now he needed a reason.

"Lin Feng, as long as I, Nangong Ling, am here, no one will ever suppress you in the future, let alone plot against you or assassinate you."

Nangong Ling promised.

"This is only for the future. What about the oppression and humiliation I suffered before?" Lin Feng was not satisfied with this.

"Lu Yuan, for ignoring my words, for disregarding the rules of Yunhai Sect, I will abolish your cultivation and your identity as an outer disciple, and expel you from Yunhai Sect."

Nangong Ling's voice was chilly, and everyone couldn't help but shiver. For Lin Feng, Nangong Ling was going to abolish an outer disciple elder. This was... a warning to all.

"I beg the Sect Master's forgiveness." When Lu Yuan heard this, his face turned deathly pale. Abolishing his cultivation and expelling him from the sect would undoubtedly make him the lowest of the low. How could he survive in this world?

"Your crime is unforgivable." Nangong Ling's voice was firm. Lu Yuan must be abolished to ease Lin Feng's heart.

"Wen Ren, save me."

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

But Wen Renyan was currently figuring out how to deal with Lin Feng. How could he care about Lu Yuan? He coldly glanced at Lu Yuan, ignored him, which made Lu Yuan feel like he wanted to die.

"Unjust, unrighteous!"

Thinking of Lin Feng's evaluation of Wen Renyan, Lu Yuan felt it was so appropriate. But just for such a person, he offended Lin Feng and fell into such a plight. It was too late for regrets.

"Lin Feng, is this satisfactory to you?" Nangong Ling asked.

Lin Feng looked at Nangong Ling and shook his head calmly.

"Master, you seem to have forgotten someone."

Nangong Ling smiled bitterly. Lin Feng had a personality indeed.

The rest of the crowd was also stunned, their eyes focused on Mo Ye, who was the only one Lin Feng could be referring to.

However, many people thought that Lin Feng would overlook this matter, because Nangong Ling asking if he was satisfied was already an implication.

After all, who was Mo Ye? Not only was he an inner disciple elder himself, but his father was also the Grand Elder of the sect's law enforcement, with a prestigious status. To make Nangong Ling deal with Mo Ye would not only offend Mo Ye but also offend Mo Canglan. This undoubtedly made it difficult for Nangong Ling.

But Lin Feng seemed to have no intention of compromising. His words pointed directly at Mo Ye.
