"Is this the true face of the so-called Xuan You Holy Domain(****), one of the Six Divine Realms(****)? Bullying the weak, currying favour with the powerful, and putting your own daughter in danger?"
"From beginning to end, you didn't even seek the consent of Xuan You Saintess. Today, I will seek justice on her behalf."
"I no longer care about the reputation of the Xuan You Holy Domain."
"But let the Xuan You Holy Domain remember, today's shame will be fully repaid by me, Liu Feng(**), in the future."
At this moment, a young man with a clear and handsome face but with a determined and unyielding look in his eyes stands atop the grand hall of the Xuan You Holy Domain. He clenches his fists tightly, letting out a roar of his own unwillingness. His name is Liu Feng, an inner disciple.
" This is outrageous, a mere inner disciple dares to insult the Divine Lord. Are you seeking death?"
Meanwhile, a senior elder, his aura imposing, his face pallid, stared fiercely at the young man but refrained from taking hasty action. They were within the main hall of the Xuan You Holy Domain, unable to tolerate such open defiance from an inner disciple. Especially today, was the grand ceremony for appointing the Xuan You Divine Son, and many major powers had come to participate. Under the scrutiny of the public eye, any conflict would inevitably lead to unnecessary commotion.
Inside the main hall, a group of inner disciples and true disciples gathered at the side, whispering and discussing in hushed tones. They watched the resolute young man as if witnessing a bizarre drama, their gazes filled with mockery and disdain.
"Is Liu Feng insane? Isn't he making our Holy Domain a laughingstock in front of other major powers?"
"Although his strength is decent, trying to perform a hero-saves-beauty act now, I think he's just talking nonsense."
Someone couldn't help but sneer, "I think he's really seeking death. If he provokes that young lord, our entire Xuan You Holy Domain might be in trouble."
Some of the true disciples nearby spoke with indignation, their hearts filled with worry. If what Liu Feng just did upset that mysterious young lord, it might not only lead to losses for the Xuan You Holy Domain but could even affect the entire Six Divine Realms. As a result, some people were almost eager to take matters into their own hands and remove Liu Feng. The elders and disciples from major powers who had come to observe the ceremony were mostly just watching for entertainment. Of course, many of them saw Liu Feng as a laughingstock. What couldn't an insignificant inner disciple do? Yet he chose to confront the current Xuan You Divine Lord."
"You're Liu Feng, aren't you? I still remember you. You came from a remote place, endured inhumane hardships, and passed countless tests to enter our Xuan You Holy Domain..."
"And now, you're telling me that you want to give up everything in the Xuan You Holy Domain? Do you think we're here for you to come and go as you please?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man in the hall opened his eyes, and they gleamed with a golden light. His aura was profound and vast, like an endless sea, incredibly awe-inspiring. He exuded an inviolable majesty, effortlessly displaying his position as the Divine Lord of the Xuan You Holy Domain. As soon as he spoke, the hall immediately fell silent, as representatives from various major powers observing the ceremony became solemn and quiet. Not a single person dared to speak.
Buzz~~!
Liu Feng felt the presence of that profound authority, and tiny beads of sweat formed on his forehead. However, this was not the moment for him to yield. His heart was filled with unwavering confidence, and he did not flinch.
"Divine Lord, I merely wish to reclaim the Saintess's freedom, I cannot simply stand by and watch her sink into a quagmire..."
Liu Feng's words were strong and filled with resilient courage. His gaze roamed around the hall, eventually settling on a woman. She had a face that could launch a thousand ships, with extraordinarily delicate features. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her brows light and graceful like distant mountains. Her jet-black hair was silky, and her pristine visage emitted a faint radiance, leaving people enchanted. She wore a pure white gown that seemed to shimmer in the lamplight as if she had descended from heaven to the mortal realm. Her demeanour was noble and transcendent, like a celestial being from above, floating down, yet her expression remained as calm as still waters, seemingly impervious to external influence.
"Sinking into a quagmire? Bold..."
This statement caused a slight darkening of the Xuan You Divine Lord's expression, revealing his displeasure. Simultaneously, many people's eyes showed a trace of understanding, and their expressions became strange, accompanied by a hint of mockery. Though Liu Feng's words were numerous, in the end, they were merely an expression of his inner discontent and resentment that the Saintess he once admired had ultimately chosen someone else. While many young disciples were filled with jealousy and discontent, they didn't dare to openly express it like Liu Feng. After all, they all knew that the young man's identity was enough to command the utmost respect, and he couldn't be taken lightly.
At this moment, almost everyone's gaze turned unanimously to the young man who had been sitting quietly behind everyone. He was currently lowering his head to savour his tea, his expression calm, as if he were indifferent to everything, making it difficult to fathom his thoughts.
