Super War God in the City
Chapter 738 - 738: 738

Ling Fan stood on the side with a cold, detached gaze, remaining silent. He still didn't fully understand the internal affairs of the Witchcraft Sect, and Lan Zihan had not spoken to him about it.

Thus, he had no intention of intervening for the time being, choosing instead to quietly observe the changes.

"Heh, Lu Tianhe, are you here to confess your sins, or to accuse others of wrongdoing?" Lan Zihan's expression turned cold as she spoke indifferently.

Protector Duan, standing nearby, was slightly taken aback. He had not expected the Saintess to have a conflict with someone from Liangqiang Peak.

"Saintess, the people of my Liangqiang Peak are reasonable. If we truly have violated the rules, we deserve to be punished. If there is no fault, we cannot wrongly accuse a good person, now can we?" Lu Tianhe said with a calm tone.

Shu Jin also stepped forward, her brows furrowed as she said, "Saintess, as the daughter of the Sect Hierarch, your every word and deed sets an example for the Witchcraft Sect and represents its highest image.

If you act wilfully because of your status, it's difficult to command the respect of those below!"

Lan Zihan's face changed instantly upon hearing this, and even Protector Duan at her side grew solemn. Shu Jin's words were open to interpretation.

However, from his understanding, it must be Liangqiang Peak that was at fault first, otherwise the Saintess would never abuse her authority.

No matter what, he was an absolute supporter of Lan Zihan.

Simultaneously, he felt a tinge of sorrow.

Times had changed. This was the situation now, but had it been before the Senior Witch Master passed away,

Lan Zihan, revered as the Witchcraft Sect's Saintess, could have killed someone simply for making her unhappy, and no one would dare to question her!

Now, disciples within the sect were offending the Saintess and even had the audacity to turn around and confront her for her actions.

This showed just how serious the problems within the sect had become, almost as if the royal power had weakened and the Lords had begun to carve up their own territories.

Lan Zihan's face turned ashen, and with a cold glance at the two, she felt indescribable shame and irritation.

The title of Saintess she bore felt ridiculous; she was being treated almost like a maid servant, with everyone daring to question her!

"Lu Tianhe, the people from your Liangqiang Peak spok irreverently before me, tarnishing my reputation. Am I not allowed to discipline them?" Lan Zihan snapped angrily, stepping forward as she spoke coldly.

Shu Jin and Lu Tianhe were slightly taken aback, having not expected Lan Zihan to be so assertive today. Their doubts deepened.

"Saintess, I've already learned from Chu Ling and the people present that they did not speak disrespectfully. It was the two individuals you brought back who, without any explanation, killed a disciple!" Chu Xiuting stepped forward at the crucial moment.

Shu Jin snorted with laughter, "Saintess, you claim they were disrespectful, but do you have any proof?

This excuse of killing the chicken to scare the monkey to establish your authority seems rather ungraceful. If you can't provide a reasonable explanation today, perhaps we should seek justice from the Sect Hierarch!"

Lan Zihan's chest heaved with anger as she gritted her teeth and said deliberately, "Are you questioning my honesty? Indeed, I killed and crippled that person, so what, would you like to find them and bring them back?"

Lan Zihan was also very angry in her heart. The Zhu Rong Lineage was becoming more and more outrageous, almost to the point of mounting a coup.

Tolerating them would only embolden them further. She refused to believe that these two people in front of her truly dared to defy heaven!

"Lu Tianhe, are you and your group planning an insurrection against the Saintess? Don't forget your own status!" Duan Wuqing reminded from the side.

According to their statuses, he had no right to speak to Lu Tianhe in such a manner, but he couldn't stand by and watch anymore.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianhe's gaze sharpened, and with a cold huff, he suddenly made his move, "Protector Duan, is it your place to speak here? It seems I need to teach you a lesson!"

Although Duan Wuqing was of less seniority compared to Lu Tianhe, he was, after all, a member of the main Wushen Peak branch, and Lu Tianhe didn't dare to seriously hurt him.

Duan Wuqing had precisely seen this, which is why he had dared to stand up and challenge agressively.

Lan Zihan's gaze became sharp, her lovely face frosted over; she would never allow Lu Tianhe to hurt Duan Wuqing!

Immediately, his figure flashed, standing in front of Duan Wuqing.

"Try and lay that palm on me and see what happens!" Lan Zihan's gaze was piercingly cold.

Lu Tianhe furrowed his brow, stopped his momentum, and sneered, "Today, I'll give the Saintess face, but some lines must not be crossed!

Even if someone from my Liangqiang Peak has offended the Saintess and violated sect rules, they should rightfully be handed over to the Discipline Hall for punishment, right?

Or if the Saintess personally takes action and kills them, I, Lu Tianhe, have nothing to say!

But what does it mean when these two attacked and killed disciples of the Witchcraft Sect?"

This was the purpose for his confrontation today. The ones he wanted to press and probe were precisely Ling Fan and Feng Xiaobai.

Upon hearing these words, Lan Zihan took a deep breath, not expecting this guy to suddenly turn the spearhead toward Ling Fan and Feng Xiaobai.

According to the rules of the Witchcraft Sect, when a sect disciple makes a mistake, rewards and punishments, life and death, are all internal affairs of the Witchcraft Sect.

If outsiders take action against Witchcraft Sect disciples, the nature of the matter changes completely.

Lu Tianhe's confrontation was not without thought; he didn't just come here to kill without reason.

In this matter, he was in the right, even if it caused an uproar in front of the Sect Hierarch, he was not afraid at all!

Chu Xiuting, standing to the side, looked at Ling Fan and his companion, with a flash of resentment in her eyes. She had heard that it was these two who had crippled Chu Ling's cultivation and killed a Witch Disciple.

Right now, she couldn't wait to slaughter Ling Fan and his companion herself as the only way to relieve her anger!

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of many passing disciples from Wushen Peak. However, everyone dared not approach too closely, simply watching from afar, whispering and pointing.

"What's going on? Is it the Zhu Rong Lineage causing trouble again? It's just too much!" A low-rank Witch Disciple grumbled indignantly.

"I really don't understand why the Sect Hierarch doesn't clean up these hoodlums. It's infuriating!" Another disciple said coldly.

Nowadays, not only are the conflicts and disputes among the higher-ups intensifying, but even the disciples at the lower levels are showing hostility toward each other when they meet.

"Ah, damn it, in the end, it's all about strength. If I had the power of the God Realm, I would surely be able to wave a mighty surge, resolve disputes, and win the Saintess's heart!" A disciple in the crowd couldn't help but lament.

"Hehe, brother, that's a dream you can have at night. Now that it's day, you might as well think about how to break through the Grandmaster Realm and enter the Martial Saint Realm to become a Witch General!" Another person lightly mocked his companion with a chuckle.

Just then, Ling Fan secretly transmitted a message to Feng Xiaobai, "Kid, you started this mess. Now that people are bullying your Sister Lan, as a Guest Official Protector, you should fulfill your duty!"

Feng Xiaobai had been unable to stand by watching from the side, but without commands from Ling Fan, he hesitated to act rashly and possibly cause another disaster.

Now with Ling Fan's order, what further hesitation could there be?

"As the Guest Official Protector, I must perform my duty within my position and should not allow these riffraff to bring chaos to our order!" Feng Xiaobai thought resolutely to himself.

Without waiting for Lan Zihan to speak, he stood out imposingly and pointed at Lu Tianhe's nose, scolding coldly, "Brat, I'm the one who killed the person. If you're angry, come at me. What do you mean by bullying Sister Lan?

Furthermore, who are you to press the Saintess so aggressively? Are you looking to rebel? If I'm not mistaken, by law, you should be executed!"

The guy had digested quite a bit of Huaxia's official history, which contained many cases where such treasonous crimes of lese-majesty were met with execution!

He figured similar matters in the Witchcraft Sect would be dealt with in much the same way.

As soon as Feng Xiaobai spoke, the surrounding crowd was shocked into silence, exchanging looks of disbelief!

PS: Please bear with me, be patient. Recently, due to revising my story, everything has piled up. Mainly it's about switching to new plot points now, and I just found time to layout the new storyline and design some follow-up plot elements, which made my head go bald~~~ It took six hours yesterday to write just four thousand words.

Also, thanks to some fans on the leaderboard, weekly number one 'user1061999583', second '178....30..', third 'Nightmare', and all the fellow daoists for their encouragement, thank you!
