Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 1244: Chapter 24: The Vicious Zhuge Jian

Sun Yongchang’s expression shifted unpredictably, and he finally sighed deeply. He had lived for over 7,300 years and had been involved with Spirit Arrays since he was eight years old, yet now he was defeated by a 26-year-old young man. This gave Sun Yongchang a profound sense of frustration. Deep down, he even felt that perhaps the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple could only reach glory under the leadership of someone as extraordinary as Lin Feng.

Sun Yongchang gave Lin Feng a deep look, then turned around and left.

Zhuge Jian quickly followed Sun Yongchang in leaving.

After Sun Yongchang and Zhuge Jian left, many people gathered around.

”Great Elder Lin, I’ve long admired your name.”

”Great Elder Lin, I have been spiritually connected with you for a long time.”

...

Among these people were some Great Elders, and now these Great Elders were proactively showing goodwill towards Lin Feng.

”Vice Hall Master Murong Baishan has arrived!”

At this moment, someone shouted.

The crowd quickly made way, and soon Murong Baishan walked in.

Seeing Murong Baishan, Lin Feng was slightly stunned.

This Murong Baishan looked so much like Murong Baichuan.

At least seventy percent similar.

”Is Vice Hall Master Murong Baishan and Vice Hall Master Murong Baichuan brothers?”

Lin Feng instantly thought of this possibility and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Previously, Murong Baichuan hadn’t mentioned it, but these two brothers really were formidable. One was the Vice Hall Master of the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple, and the other was a Sealing Territory Great Official.

”Haha... Great Elder Lin, you’ve finally come to the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple. I was busy with affairs but rushed over upon hearing the news of your arrival,” Murong Baishan said with a smile.

”Lin Feng has met the Vice Hall Master.”

Lin Feng bowed to Murong Baishan.

He could ignore Vice Hall Master Sun Yongchang but wouldn’t do the same for Murong Baishan.

Because Lin Feng knew that among the Vice Hall Masters supporting him as the fourth successor, Murong Baishan was certainly one of them.

Lin Feng entered the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple upon Murong Baichuan’s recommendation, and Lin Feng and Murong Baichuan had a deep friendship.

Murong Baichuan was a loyal supporter of Lin Feng. As Murong Baichuan’s elder brother, Murong Baishan naturally supported Lin Feng as well. In fact, during this period, Murong Baishan had indeed exerted great efforts within the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple, not only rallying several Vice Hall Masters to support Lin Feng but also many Great Elders.

Because, in Murong Baishan’s view, Lin Feng was indeed worthy of their support and loyalty.

With every new ruler comes new officials; the high-level members of the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple have to consider their future.

They need to follow a wise leader to have a glorious future.

They’re doing this not only for themselves but also for their clans and descendants.

...

”Haha, Great Elder, no need to be formal. Let’s go to the inner hall for a discussion,” Murong Baishan said.

Lin Feng nodded, and together with Murong Baishan, entered the inner hall.

”The four ancestors think highly of you; however, some people are still not reconciled and are operating in the dark with this matter. In recent days, I’ve been overwhelmed. But what I didn’t expect was that your Spirit Array Master level had already reached such strength.”

Murong Baishan obviously knew about Lin Feng suppressing Zhuge Jian and defeating Sun Yongchang.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, saying, ”Sometimes, demonstrating one’s abilities can make many people shut their mouths.”

Originally, Murong Baishan thought Lin Feng acted impulsively, but upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, he was shocked; apparently, Lin Feng deliberately acted? Was this to show the higher-ups? To show the competitors?

Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, ”Initially, I didn’t know why Zhuge Jian was targeting me. After all, I just arrived at the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple and was unfamiliar with the people and place, so I didn’t bother with him. Later, I found out that Zhuge Jian also wanted to become the fourth successor of the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple, so I suppressed him. He knelt on the ground, losing face, and even the Vice Hall Masters supporting him would be embarrassed to continue recommending him, right? In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy becomes shattered instantly.”

Murong Baishan was very shocked; he hadn’t anticipated Lin Feng’s mind to be so meticulous, and his perspectives on many matters sharply hit the essence.

Just as Lin Feng had just said.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is like a paper tiger, worthless. Murong Baishan knew, after today’s events, that the fourth successor position would definitely belong to Lin Feng; who else could compete with him?

”There will be a gathering tonight; several Vice Hall Masters and some Great Elders within the Holy Temple will attend to welcome you,” Murong Baishan said.

Clearly, Murong Baishan intended to gather these supporters of Lin Feng among the Vice Hall Masters and Great Elders for an official meeting with him, and everyone needed to deepen their feelings—this was very necessary.

Lin Feng nodded and asked, ”When? Where?”

”At six in the evening, at the Four Saints Building; someone will come to escort you,” Murong Baishan said.

”Hmm!” Lin Feng nodded.

...

Sun Yongchang returned to his residence, where two other Vice Hall Masters were already waiting.

Zhuge Jian also followed them inside.

Zhuge Jian spoke with venomous resentment, ”Sir, I want to kill that kid; I want him to die with no place to rest. I’ll contact the Assassin Dynasty now; once he’s dead, the fourth successor position will still be mine.”

Sun Yongchang sighed and said, ”Someone like him isn’t easily killed. He broke my Spirit Array Skill in one move! This isn’t something a mere Spirit Array level can achieve; I fear his abilities might be close to the Reincarnation Realm.”

The other two Vice Hall Masters, Liuu Shibao and Dong Yunhe, exchanged glances.

Liuu Shibao said, ”If that’s the case, we need to find a time to have a good talk with Murong.”

Dong Yunhe nodded and said, ”Yes, we’re about to retire soon. It’s time we had a good conversation with Murong.”

Seeing the three Vice Hall Masters who supported him had lowered their heads, Zhuge Jian didn’t just hate Lin Feng but also began hating the three Vice Hall Masters.

He hated that the three of them chose to retreat at this moment.

Their retreat meant he could never lead the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple.

Zhuge Jian’s ambition for power was enormous.

That’s why he couldn’t accept losing to Lin Feng.

But Zhuge Jian was a deep thinker and wouldn’t show these feelings before the three Vice Hall Masters.

”Zhuge Jian, I know you are unwilling to accept the situation. Today, you shouldn’t have acted against Lin Feng; you knelt on the ground, losing face. Even if Lin Feng doesn’t become the successor, it won’t be your turn. The four ancestors won’t assign such an important position to someone who was publicly suppressed, knelt on the ground. Moreover, Lin Feng’s momentum is already unstoppable. You should peacefully serve as a Great Elder in the future and not make any more moves, or it will only invite disaster,” Sun Yongchang said.

”Yes...”

Zhuge Jian nodded obediently.

”Alright, you may leave now.”

Sun Yongchang waved his hand.

”I shall take my leave...” Zhuge Jian left and, upon exiting Sun Yongchang’s residence, his face twisted with rage.

”Lin Feng, you filthy beast, I want to kill you, and Sun Yongchang, Liuu Shibao, Dong Yunhe, you three old beasts, choosing to retreat at such a time. You showed no humanity to me; don’t blame me for repaying you in kind. I want you dead together, you despicable scum, all go to hell!”

Zhuge Jian quickly headed outside the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple; he wanted to contact the Assassin Dynasty, offer a heavy reward to have them kill Lin Feng, Sun Yongchang, Liuu Shibao, and Dong Yunhe.
