Meanwhile.
News had already gone out.
Luo Feng was to be executed!
All of Qingshan Sect was shaken up.
The Outer Court, Inner Court and Portico disciples were shocked, and even the elders were stunned beyond belief.
Jiang Ning was really crazy!
Was he really going to kill Luo Feng?
And Jiang Ning wanted a public execution no less.
Was he nuts?
He had to be.
None of the elders said anything because the Senior Elder didn't say anything. That meant he approved of this.
Liu Chuandao didn't say anything either.
He had locked himself in his room and left Jiang Ning to decide on everything. Even if Jiang Ning turned the whole world upside down, Liu Chuandao wouldn't ask a single question.
After all, he knew well that the person who was the most concerned about the world outside the mountain was Jiang Ning himself.
When the news reached Luo Long, he flew into a rage.
"Ridiculous! Audacious! Are they all tired of living?!" roared Luo Long furiously. "Men! Come with me, we're going to rescue Elder Luo Feng!"
He didn't expect Jiang Ning to dare to do this.
He was about to look for Liu Chuandao again to get medication, and if Liu Chuandao continued to keep his doors shut, Luo Long was going to barge his way in. But now, something like this had happened. All his disciples were still unable to walk properly. It was really difficult to heal well without proper treatment.
They looked awkward and pathetic as they hobbled behind Luo Long.
But none of them dared to protest.
"They're going to do this at the martial arts arena! We can't let them do this!" said Luo Long. "They aren't fit to kill an elder of Tianlian Sect!"
The martial arts arena was already teeming with people.
All the disciples were here, and even those Sinners were here too.
Nobody would have thought that Qingshan Sect would do such a thing. In order to stand up and avenge a disciple's death, they were even willing to kill an elder from Tianlian Sect!
"This Luo Feng is the elder who caused the death of Senior Luo Heng, right?" "That's him! He was in cahoots with Zhang
Heng to kill off one of our best disciples!"
"How disgusting! Do they think that the lives of the disciples of Qingshan Sect are cheap and worthless? He deserves to die!"
"Don't say such things so loudly. He's an elder of Tianlian Sect after all. We can't afford to offend these people."
There were all sorts of opinions among the crowd.
Some of them couldn't wait to chop
Luo Feng's head off personally,

while some of them felt that the sect was blowing up the matter
unnecessarily.
There were some who were quarrelling because they disagreed with one another.
"What's there to argue about?"
someone yelled loudly. "What, are all
of you used to getting bullied
already? If you were the one who died, wouldn't you hope that Qingshan Sect would avenge you?"
Once these words were yelled out, the entire crowd fell silent.
This didn't happen to them, so they could say whatever they wanted.
But what if this actually happened to themselves?
Anybody would want justice to be served if they had been killed for no reason.
"Kill him!" someone yelled at the top of his voice.
"Kill this bastard! The disciples of Qingshan Sect aren't pushovers!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
"A life for a life! Kill him!"
The crowd was in an uproar. © 2024.
Jiang Ning watched the crowd get all riled up and a murderous air rose from the people. He rapped his fingers against the table lightly.
He turned to look around and saw that Luo Long wasn't here yet.
"They're not even enthusiastic about saving their elder. We'll wait for a while more then."
He waved a hand and the captain of the guards came up.
"Bring Mr Zhang out first."
"Yes, Brother Jiang!"
In no time, Zhang Heng was dragged out. He was no longer that proud and glamorous man, and he was no longer the principal of the Inner Court. He was now nothing but a criminal!
Release me now!"
"Release me! yelled Zhang Heng loudly as if he had completely lost it. "Jiang Ning! Are you sure you want to kill me?! You're going to bring all of Qingshan Seet down!"
"Release me! Did you hear me?!"
He was shouting hysterically like a lunatic and looked like he wished he could pounce over and bite Jiang Ning to death.
"I am saving Qingshan Sect," said Jiang Ning quietly. But it's too bad that you won't get to see it."
"Go ahead and send him on his way!"
