Chapter 19: Distorting Facts
The flying sword emitted a cold, piercing light.
It was actually a high-grade treasure-level flying sword.
It could slice through iron as if it were mud and cut people as if slicing through hair.
"Uh? Someone is ambushing me?"
Lin Feng's eyebrows slightly raised.
Coldness appeared in his eyes.
The Devouring Sky Vase was still beside Lin Feng.
As the flying sword came slashing down,
the Devouring Sky Vase emitted an astonishing fluctuation and directly enveloped the flying sword.
Then,
the flying sword was directly devoured by the Devouring Sky Vase.
"Ah!"
A scream came.
Then, three cultivators materialized.
The one who screamed was a blue-robed cultivator.
He had just used the flying sword to ambush Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng countered by using the Devouring Sky Vase to forcibly devour the attacker's treasure.
The connection between the blue-robed cultivator and the Devouring Sky Vase was forcibly severed.
He suffered a backlash.
His face turned deathly pale.
...
"Boy, you dared to devour my flying sword, do you know who I am?"
The face of the blue-robed cultivator slightly contorted.
Lin Feng put away the Four Evils Tripod.
Then, he coldly glanced at the three people.
The speaking blue-robed cultivator had a long face and a hooked nose, giving him a sinister appearance.
There was also a green-robed cultivator, who was very handsome and extraordinary.
And the woman, dressed in purple robes, also possessed some beauty.
These three people all bore arrogant and haughty expressions.
Their demeanor clearly indicated their extraordinary origins.
"People from the Penglai Ancient Sacred Land?"
Sikong Zhaiyue slightly frowned.
The three people instantly took on a superior air.
The female cultivator said, "That's right, we are all stewards of the Penglai Ancient Sacred Land. The Abyss Evil Flood Dragon that you killed was severely wounded by us earlier. Its spirit escaped and we chased it all the way here. We were about to take action, but you took the lead. After all the hard pains and efforts we put in to severely wound the Abyss Evil Flood Dragon, are you trying to forcibly snatch our game?"
Upon hearing the female cultivator's words,
Lin Feng really wanted to slap her.
He had seen shameless people,
but had never encountered such brazenly shameless creatures.
Clearly, the Abyss Evil Flood Dragon had been here for a long time.
And these three had hidden themselves, not revealing their presence,
hoping to catch the mantis stalking the cicada, with them as the oriole behind.
Not succeeding in their ambush, they now concocted such an excuse.
It was utterly shameless.
Sikong Zhaiyue spoke with a somber voice, "Do you really think we would believe the nonsense of you people?"
The green-robed cultivator sneered, "Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter to us, but the Sea Law Enforcement Alliance will believe us. Hand over the origin of the Evil Flood Dragon, the Four Evils Tripod, and the residual soul mark of Dugu Yan in all honesty, and we will let you leave. If you do not cooperate, we will issue a sea warrant now and report to the Sea Law Enforcement Alliance that you collude with Dugu Yan and kill innocents. Tell us, will the Sea Law Enforcement Alliance believe you two loose cultivators, or will they believe the three stewards from our Penglai Ancient Sacred Land?"
Shameless!
Absolutely shameless!
It was these people who attempted and failed to kill and rob.
And now they audaciously twisted it.
Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue had gone through great hardships to slay Dugu Yan and the Abyss Evil Flood Dragon, ridding them of these scourges.
Yet now, these three stewards of the Penglai Ancient Sacred Land accused them of colluding with Dugu Yan.
If it were someone else.
Who can remain unangered?
"Penglai Ancient Sacred Land, being a top-level force in the East Sea World and a model of the Righteous Path, is actually committing such acts of injustice and dishonesty? Today, my brother and I have truly seen the true colors of the Penglai Ancient Sacred Land."
Lin Feng said sarcastically.
The female steward of Penglai Ancient Sacred Land arrogantly stated, "In the East Sea World, our Penglai Ancient Sacred Land is the law. We can turn black into white and white into black. If we say you collude with pirates and relentlessly kill the innocent in the East Sea, then you're colluding with pirates. If we call you an Evil Demon, then you are an Evil Demon, whether it's true or not."
Lin Feng, furious, laughed in return, "How domineering! Do you think that Penglai Ancient Sacred Land can really cover the sky with one hand?"
"Currently, the Hierarch of the Sea Law Enforcement Alliance is our Penglai Ancient Sacred Land's Supreme Elder, so what's covering the sky with one hand to us?"
The female steward of Penglai Ancient Sacred Land said with a cold laugh.
The blue-robed cultivator looked coldly at Lin Feng and sneered, "Boy, you have to hand over all your treasures and slap yourself ten times. That's the price for daring to loot my flying sword. Now kneel down, slap your own face, hand over everything, and then I might spare your dog life."
"How ridiculous, utterly ridiculous."
Lin Feng suddenly laughed.
The three people from Penglai Ancient Sacred Land coldly watched Lin Feng, "Boy, what are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at your ignorance of life and death."
Lin Feng's expression was indifferent, with a flicker of murderous intent in his eyes.
It was the first time Lin Feng had met such arrogant and deceitful people.
Murderous intent surged in his heart.
These people, no matter who they were.
They were undoubtedly dead!
...
"Boy, you've committed a capital crime. No one between heaven and earth can save you. Send a signal to the Sea Law Enforcement Alliance to label these two boys as wanted criminals."
The female steward from Penglai Ancient Sacred Land said.
The blue-robed cultivator nodded and took out a Jade Talisman.
Obviously, this Jade Talisman had the function of transmission.
Once the Sea Law Enforcement Alliance received the message, they could quickly notify the East Sea Law Enforcement Team.
By then, if these three could just hold Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue temporarily.
When the cultivators from the Law Enforcement Team arrived.
They could kill Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue.
As each Law Enforcement Team had a cultivator of the Yin Yang Realm Tenth Layer presiding over it.
Facing a cultivator of this level.
Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue were undoubtedly dead.
The blue-robed cultivator activated the Jade Talisman.
The Jade Talisman instantly shattered, and runes surged towards the sky.
The three stewards from Penglai Ancient Sacred Land all wore cold sneers on their faces.
However, they quickly split up, surrounding Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue to prevent them from escaping.
These three were cultivators of the Yin Yang Realm.
Though their cultivation was only at the Second Layer of the Yin Yang Realm.
They believed that stopping Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue from leaving would be an easy task.
"Idiots..."
Lin Feng sneered.
"You still dare to insult us? Wait until the Law Enforcement Team arrives, then see how you die."
The three looked viciously at Lin Feng.
"Did your message really get sent out?"
Lin Feng swung his right hand.
A strong suction emerged.
The runes flew down from above and were caught in Lin Feng's hand.
These runes contained the message they were trying to send.
If these messages had flown out of the sea area.
They could have been sensed by an ancient Tao Artifact at the Headquarters of the Sea Law Enforcement Alliance.
And the Law Enforcement Headquarters could, through the Tao Artifact, contact the Sea Law Enforcement Team across endless distances and support this location.
"How is this possible?" The three stewards from Penglai Ancient Sacred Land wore incredulous expressions.
They did not understand.
How were these runes intercepted?
"I forgot to tell you, I am also an Earth-rank Spirit Array Master. Although the prohibition here is shattered, I secretly arranged hundreds of Array Patterns, activating the prohibitions here. This place is now heavily surrounded, no one can leave this place unless they can break these restrictions with overwhelming force. As for these mere runes, which only contain a bit of mana, thinking of flying out is even harder."
Lin Feng's expression was indifferent, his right hand directly crushed the runes, his eyes full of unabashed murderous intent as he looked at the three.
