Chapter 102: Chapter 90 Demotion

On the road, Lin Yuan was secretly calculating in his heart. After the roll call, someone would likely take this opportunity to make things difficult for him.

He also wanted to use this opportunity to see the attitudes of several Hall Masters clearly.

On the street, pedestrians were in a rush, and the Spiritual Food and Elixir shops had long queues. The blacksmith’s business was even more booming, crowded with servants and chores workers buying swords, shields, and armor.

"So many people, strange!" Lin Yuan observed the bustling crowd with curiosity.

Huaining Hall, on the first-floor main hall.

Several small leaders gathered in a circle, discussing vigorously.

"Last night, bandits appeared, and they wiped out the entire Li family. The Li family’s pharmacy had been around for nearly a century, yet it was wiped out overnight, unbelievable."

The second leader was speaking passionately, and the surrounding people were shocked into silence for a long time.

"Is it fake? With the Academy’s officials guarding the four districts, who has such boldness to dare conduct such a massacre?" The third leader looked doubtful.

"My residence was two streets away, and there were cries and howls at night. But it was too dark to check. This morning at daylight, I saw bodies from the Li family being carried out. Judging by their faces, they had been dead for some time," the second leader stated firmly.

"How exactly did it happen? Have they found out who did it?" Yi Shu of the first leader was shocked and curious.

"The news hasn’t come out yet, and we don’t know which Condensed Yuan level person did it. Although the Li family wasn’t a family of elixirs, they had some heritage in refining Qi-Blood powder and had hired a Condensed Yuan first grade to serve them, but it still wasn’t enough to stop it," the second leader said casually.

"Where did these people come from, with such boldness?" The others swallowed, thinking it was terrifying.

While everyone was discussing, Lin Yuan walked into the hall.

Immediately, all eyes fell on him.

The noisy hall suddenly became briefly silent.

"Lin Yuan is here."

"Lin Small Leader is here, yesterday he actually wiped out a Lotus Gang division, such slaughter!"

Then, the hall once again became noisy with discussions.

Several small leaders watched Lin Yuan, who walked in slowly, and simultaneously recalled his actions from yesterday, coldly smirking to themselves.

"Killing a Lotus Gang division just like that, not leaving a single survivor. Heh, what a show of power," Yi Shu withdrew his gaze and said, laughing with the other small leaders.

"I thought he had some courage. Now it seems he’s not exceptionally brave, just reckless, acting without considering the situation," the second leader lowered his voice with meaning.

"Indeed, lacking consideration, just a brute with only good talent," several laughed softly, nodding in agreement.

"I wonder how the Hall Master will handle this."

"Just watch it like a comedy, it’s rare entertainment," they said playfully.

As Lin Yuan walked past the leading position of the fourth leader, Xu Yang, Yue Zhenhan, and Jia Yuezhang came down to the hall from upstairs.

The three walked to the center of the hall.

All eyes were immediately on them.

After the routine roll call.

Xu Yang’s face grew stern: "Fourth leader, Lin Yuan, step forward."

"What is meant to come has come," Lin Yuan thought, stepping forward and bowing towards Xu Yang.

Three Deputy Hall Masters, Jia Yuezhang, Xu Yang were both staring at Lin Yuan seriously, while Yue Zhenhan’s face was full of regret.

Xu Yang’s eyes flashed with murder, suddenly wielding Yuan power, pressing onto Lin Yuan.

"This Xu Yang’s Yuan power is slightly weaker than Cheng Xiongjia’s."

Under pressure, Lin Yuan also keenly sensed, then dissipated the overwhelming Yuan force with his Qi-Blood.

"Lin Yuan, are you aware of your crime?" Xu Yang’s eyes widened, his aura explosively surging as he sternly asked.

"May I ask Deputy Hall Master Xu, what crime do I bear?"

Lin Yuan stood tall, his voice calm and powerful, showing no trace of cowardice.

"This boy isn’t afraid of my Yuan power?" Xu Yang was surprised inside, but maintained his appearance: "Yesterday, Lotus Gang’s Red Scholar Hall, including Hall Master He Tingshu and thirty-two heads and leaders, were all killed."

"Did you do it?" Xu Yang questioned coldly.

"Indeed," Lin Yuan replied lightly.

"The Lotus Gang has been paying taxes on time recently, and hasn’t defied the Academy. You indiscriminately killed innocents, isn’t that a crime?" Xu Yang sneered.

"Indeed, acting without our orders, taking matters into your own hands, exterminating a Lotus Gang division, you have violated the Academy’s rules," Jia Yuezhang saw Lin Yuan’s calm demeanor and was displeased, also speaking up.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan sneered inwardly.

Broke the rules?

Today’s public trial is meant to leave no room for others to talk.

But they don’t dare to openly kill me either, because I have someone backing me!

"Honorable Hall Masters, in fact, there is a reason for killing them."

Lin Yuan saluted, speaking calmly.

"What reason?" Yue Zhenhan’s solemn face questioned.

"The Red Scholar Hall offended me, and coupled with their arrogant attitude, not considering me at all."

"Coincidentally, I am impulsive by nature, and in a fit of Qi-Blood, accidentally wiped out the Red Scholar Hall. Last night was too late to bother the Hall Masters’ rest. I was about to report it, but now the Hall Masters are already aware."

"Is this your attitude?" Xu Yang grew angrier seeing Lin Yuan’s calm posture.

"How did they offend you?" Jia Zhangle was not entangled by Lin Yuan’s attitude, curious about the reason.

"Deputy Hall Master Jia, the reason is simple," Lin Yuan looked at Jia Zhangle, bowing with calm eyes.

"Too ugly!"

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.

Those present, both small leaders and disciples, couldn’t help but sweat profusely at this.

"It’s indeed Lin Small Leader, boldly stating such a grandiose reason under questioning from the Hall Masters."

"They’re too ugly, so you couldn’t bear it? So you killed them? If I walk beside Lin Small Leader, will I be cut down?" This person is self-aware.

"I was wrong. This person is not just a brute, he’s a madman. Exterminating a division without plausible reasons, just because they were too ugly?"

Lin Yuan’s reasoning left everyone dumbfounded, the three Hall Masters were also speechless.

"Nonsense, it’s simply nonsense." Xu Yang suddenly unleashed his inner Yuan energy, ready to act.

"Old Xu, although Lin Yuan wiped out a Lotus Gang division, he’s after all the Academy’s prodigy, best not to act," Yue Zhenhan stepped forward to stop him, Yuan power also activated.

"Humph! Violating rules without remorse, if not punished, how can we establish authority?" Xu Yang spoke severely, his aura sharply increasing, fiercely pressing towards Lin Yuan again.

"Old Xu, Old Xu. The Academy’s prodigies are rare, a mere division can’t compare to even a hair of Lin Yuan. If we injure Lin Yuan for outsiders, doesn’t that weaken the Academy’s prestige?" Yue Zhenhan again stepped forward, earnestly persuading.

"This Deputy Hall Master Yue’s Yuan Force is deeper than Xu Yang’s. But why is he ranked last?"

"Jia Zhangle, this old fox, just talks and doesn’t act. Does Xu Yang really want to kill me alone? On the other hand, is Yue Zhenhan’s attitude good?"

Lin Yuan carefully sensed their attitudes, while dispelling the fierce incoming Yuan energy.

Just as the two were pulling at each other, footsteps came down the stairs.

"From the sound, it’s more than one person. Besides Ao Daguang, who else is there?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Ao Daguang, leading a handsome youth, steadily descended, and stood before the crowd.

Ao Daguang glanced at Yue Zhenhan and Xu Yang, finally resting his gaze on Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, recklessly wiping out a Lotus Gang division, randomly causing bloodshed, disrupting the stable order."

"Now I decree! Lin Yuan is relieved of his post as Fourth Leader, confined for a month, and forfeited half a year’s salary."

Ao Daguang spoke calmly.

As the words fell, the small leaders behind Lin Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle, mocking his back.

Wu Yangqing, standing closest to Lin Yuan, showed little change in expression, looking past Lin Yuan’s back at Yue Zhenhan.

Han Zhong, who was also behind Lin Yuan, looked heavy, a trace of sorrow flashing deep in his eyes.
