Chapter 1977 436: Turning Against Each Other
He finally understood why Lin Yifan dared to provoke the Xianxia Sect. Just based on his martial arts foundation, he was not someone ordinary disciples and elders of the Xianxia Sect could handle.
There was indeed a possibility of upheaval in Xianxia City, and light would pour into the city once again.
"Who exactly are you?"
The Xianxia Sect Leader furrowed his brow, deeply worried.
Ever since seeing Lin Yifan's true strength, he was filled with apprehension about Lin Yifan's identity.
In case Lin Yifan did have a significant background, his small sect would certainly be unsustainable.
"I'm just someone who can't stand the strong bullying the weak, arrogance and lawlessness, that's all." Lin Yifan answered.
"So, you can't stand the strong bullying the weak, then tell me, where does our Xianxia Sect bully the weak, act arrogantly?" the Xianxia Sect Leader questioned.
"If I heard correctly, this person is a dog you raised in the human world, right?"
Lin Yifan pointed to the nearby, barely alive, Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang and asked.
The Xianxia Sect Leader only then realized that the dying, disheveled person beside Lin Yifan was the Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang.
To be honest, the Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang really was a dog they had raised, but in this setting, he absolutely couldn't admit it, so he replied, "We don't know this person, please don't wrong a good person and kill the innocent."
"Tsk tsk, when someone loses their value, you abandon them. Truly a ruthless person." Lin Yifan shook his head, impressed by the Xianxia Sect Leader's ability to argue with sophistry.
The Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang also thought the Xianxia Sect Leader was a bastard.
They had been close, but now he was abandoning him and drawing a clear line, unworthy of being a sect leader.
"As it stands, we truly do not know this person. It is you who have been deceived by lies, killing the innocent; you deserve to die a thousand deaths." The Xianxia Sect Leader's words were like pearls, cornering Lin Yifan into an unrighteous position.
"What are you pretending for? Who doesn't know that the Wei Tiger Gang colludes with the Xianxia Sect?"
"Those are just rumors, not to be believed."
"Then what about him? Is what he says also not to be trusted?" Lin Yifan gestured to the Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang, questioning the Xianxia Sect Leader.
"He is clearly at his wit's end, trying to use us to get rid of you." The Xianxia Sect Leader answered.
"Then why did your Fifth Elder just say he knew this person?" Lin Yifan asked with a smile.
The Xianxia Sect Leader's face darkened, thick-skinned, asking the injured Fifth Elder, "Fifth junior brother, do you know him?"
"I don't know him! I don't know him!" The Fifth Elder quickly shook his head, not daring to go against the Sect Leader's wishes.
Now, it was clear the Sect Leader had no intention of fighting with this young man, so he decided to let it go and keep the peace.
The Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang, lying on the ground, could no longer bear it, loudly rebuked, "Xianxia Immortal, you bastard, after using me, now you turn your back and act like you don't know me?"
"Do we know each other? Are we close? Our Xianxia Sect has always been upright and aboveboard, how could we associate with a heinous criminal like you?" The Xianxia Sect Leader persistently questioned.
"Aboveboard? Ha! Haven't you done enough shady things?" The Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang asked through gritted teeth.
"What shady things have we done?"
"Back then..."
Before the Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang could finish, he was ambushed by the Xianxia Sect Leader.
The speed of the hidden weapon was extremely fast, if it weren't for Lin Yifan being vigilant, he wouldn't have noticed it.
The Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang also sensed the coming attack, and his face was instantly filled with fear and despair.
Just as he thought he was about to die at the hands of the Xianxia Sect Leader, a twist of fate arrived.
"Boom!"
The sound of thunder erupted, and a metal hidden weapon fell to the ground, bouncing around.
The Fifth Elder, Xianxia Sect Leader, and the City Lord of Xianxia City were all incredibly shocked.
However, their points of amazement differed.
The City Lord of Xianxia City was astonished that the Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang had been ambushed.
Whereas the Fifth Elder and the Xianxia Sect Leader were astonished that the hidden weapon had been blocked by Lin Yifan.
They knew that the power contained in this hidden weapon had already reached the Great Immortal Fourth Realm level.
Lin Yifan's strength, which they had just witnessed, was at the Great Immortal Third Realm.
Theoretically, Lin Yifan shouldn't have been able to block this hidden weapon; yet why was the reality so different?
When they looked at Lin Yifan again, they found that he had a black spiritual pearl in his hand, wrapped with lightning.
"Thunder Spirit Pearl?"
It was the only thing that came to their minds; besides this, they couldn't find anything else that matched.
Possessing a Thunder Spirit Pearl and knowing the Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries, they immediately connected Lin Yifan with the Kingdom of Leizhen.
In the World of All Things, it seemed that only cultivators from the Kingdom of Leizhen knew the Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries; cultivators from other countries did not.
"Could he be a prince of the Kingdom of Leizhen?"
Only someone of such a status could be widely read and a natural prodigy.
Even though the Kingdom of Leizhen had now fallen to a second-rate or even third-rate country, it was still not something their Xianxia Sect could provoke, hence their fear of Lin Yifan deepened.
The City Lord of Xianxia City and the Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang also noticed the unique spiritual pearl in Lin Yifan's hand.
They never expected that Lin Yifan's real identity would be related to the Kingdom of Leizhen; he truly seemed to be someone with a significant background.
The Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang was grateful for Lin Yifan's rescue, but he believed that Lin Yifan was not saving him out of humanitarianism, but rather because he held secrets of the culprit and wanted him to reveal them to the public.
By this point, he no longer wished to serve the Xianxia Sect, nor die for them, therefore he was determined to drag the Xianxia Sect into the mire.
After dispelling the attack, Lin Yifan ignored the Xianxia Sect Leader and interrogated the Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang, "What unseemly deeds have they done?"
"The massacre of Feiyun Manor, he commanded me to do it, and even sent skilled members from the sect to assist. The extermination of the Wang Family was also ordered by them for our Wei Tiger Gang to execute. As for collecting protection fees, forcing good people into prostitution, more or less, they had significant involvement." The Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang replied.
The Xianxia Sect had used their Wei Tiger Gang to commit too many misdeeds, countless in number, and these were just the notoriously infamous ones.
"Wow! Hands stained with fresh blood, yet you dare call yourself an upright and honorable sect." Lin Yifan mocked coldly, watching how the Xianxia Sect Leader would defend himself.
"This is just one-sided talk; what evidence is there to prove it?" The Xianxia Sect Leader argued rationally, refusing to compromise.
"You want evidence? I tell you, I have plenty in my personal secret room, and if you want, I can expose it to the world." The Gang Leader of the Wei Tiger Gang replied.
In his secret room, he had records of every transaction, every task the Xianxia Sect instructed their Wei Tiger Gang to carry out, and he also kept certain pieces of documentary evidence.
"You utterly despicable villain, why do you insist on dragging innocent people down even when facing death?"
