434: Who do you think you are?

One must know that when the Flying Feather Holy Sect previously inquired about those few missing Disciples, the Wuding Sect provided the message that they were unaware.

Despite claiming to be unaware, they had now produced this Recording Stone.

Cold sweat dripped continuously from the forehead of the Sect Leader of the Wu Ding Sect. He suppressed the panic in his heart and spoke to Lin Ye: "Reporting to the Divine Son, this matter is indeed our fault. We beg for the Divine Son's forgiveness; we were worried that this incident would bring upon us the calamity of sect destruction."

"It was only in a moment of desperation that we…"

"I understand." Before the Sect Leader of the Wu Ding Sect could finish speaking, Lin Ye interrupted him directly: "In other words, you clearly knew what had happened to my Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, yet you still chose to conceal it and not report it, even treating us like fools and toying with us?"

"We would not dare!!!" The Sect Leader of the Wu Ding Sect's body went limp, and he collapsed directly onto the ground.

Toy with the Flying Feather Holy Sect? Even if they were given several times the courage, they would not dare.

It was entirely because Ye Xi had suddenly appeared, causing flaws in their prepared narrative. One mistake led to another.

In the end, Lin Ye had discovered the problem.

If they did not admit their mistake at this moment, the Wuding Sect would likely be finished!

Ye Xi slowly stood up from the ground. He had not suffered much injury just now; how could the Sect Leader of the Wu Ding Sect truly deal a lethal blow to Ye Xi? After standing up, he looked at Lin Ye with a calm expression.

"Divine Son, you have seen the process of this matter. I already spared their lives, but they still insisted on attacking me. As fellow Cultivators, you should be able to understand that."

"We have always maintained respect for the Flying Feather Holy Sect."

"But as a top Dao lineage of the Righteous Path, must you really be so unreasonable when treating the forces under your command?!"

Clap, clap, clap! Lin Ye clapped his hands and looked at Ye Xi with a half-smile: "Brilliant, truly brilliant. It seems I should even thank you for helping my Flying Feather Holy Sect maintain its reputation?"

Ye Xi frowned slightly because he heard a voice transmission from his Revered Master inside the ring.

"Little Ye, leave quickly! This person in front of you is absolutely not someone you can contend with. You bear the mandate of Heaven, and he also bears the mandate of Heaven; furthermore, he possesses great terror and great secrets! He has already developed killing intent toward you! You must not be impulsive!"

His Revered Master was the remnant soul of a Senior who had always been inside the ring. Every time his Revered Master spoke, it would come true one by one.

But how could he leave at this time! If he really left, wouldn't that be unbenevolent and unrighteous? After all, he was the one who caused this trouble; he couldn't let the Wuding Sect bear the consequences for him, could he?

Besides… Ye Xi looked at Yin Rourou not far away, his eyes filled with a trace of determination.

"Divine Son Lin! Who is right and who is wrong has already been shown by the images from the Recording Stone just now! I admit my mistake! I beg the Divine Son to blame only me; I will accept any punishment!"

"No!" Yin Rourou shook her head slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

"What deep affection and righteousness!" Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh: "From top to bottom, your Wuding Sect keeps putting on acts in front of me. What is this? Is this a performance you prepared for me? You have certainly put in effort."

"Hmph!" Ye Xi snorted coldly: "Divine Son Lin, kill or slice me as you please, but what is the meaning of your insults?! My Wuding Sect…"

Swish!!! Before Ye Xi could finish speaking, his vision blurred, and Lin Ye, dressed in white, had already appeared before him.

Lin Ye channeled his spiritual energy, a faint light flickering on his body as a shocking Sword Intent soared straight into the clouds. Various Sword Dao runes intertwined, emitting a deafening roar. He pressed two fingers together and slashed out with a sword toward Ye Xi in front of him!

Facing that shocking killing intent, Ye Xi's pupils constricted. He unleashed a great Divine Ability, and a milky white light burst forth. Knowing that Lin Ye was not simple, he activated his Physique at the very first moment.

Boom!!! The entire great hall began to boil. Nothing could be seen anymore; there were only runes blooming, the Sword Dao roaring, and a sea of spiritual energy covering the heavens. This simple clash between the two terrified everyone.

Finally, a spray of blood splattered out, and the blood light dispersed the halo within the great hall. At the center of the great hall, the smooth floor tiles were all shattered, the walls were in shambles, and Lin Ye, dressed in white, stood where he was.

In contrast, Ye Xi had retreated dozens of steps. There was a wound on his chest so deep that the bone was visible, and blood was seeping from the corners of his mouth, yet his eyes remained bright.

This was the first time he had encountered a peer who could completely crush him. His Revered Master was right; the person before him also bore the mandate of Heaven and possessed great Luck, which was why he was so formidable.

"Junior Brother Ye!" Yin Rourou exclaimed. She had not expected that Lin Ye would attack without any warning.

The Elders in the great hall were filled with indignation and all surrounded him. In contrast, the Elders from the Flying Feather Holy Sect, apart from having cold expressions, did not act without authorization. This time, they had come with Lin Ye, and all arrangements had to follow Lin Ye's lead. Since Lin Ye had not spoken yet, they just waited.

"Are you all crazy?!" The Sect Leader of the Wu Ding Sect trembled, nearly scared to death. These people were simply digging a pit for him!

Ye Xi had offended the Divine Son, and now these Elders were surrounding the Divine Son one by one. Did they not want to live anymore?!

The Elders also sobered up from their anger and hurriedly retreated. If the previous matter could still be resolved through negotiation, then this matter now could be big or small.

To put it in serious terms, surrounding the Divine Son of the Flying Feather Holy Sect and harboring malicious intent—even if the Flying Feather Holy Sect wiped them out, it would not be a problem at all!

Lin Ye stood where he was, a trace of mockery on his face: "This is rather interesting. Your Physique seems suitable for condensing Upright Qi. Why are you in this Wuding Sect instead of going to the Xuanyang Academy?"

Ye Xi's eyes twitched. He covered his wound and spoke calmly: "I do not know what you are talking about."

"It doesn't matter. If you don't know, then so be it. You said something just now, didn't you? You said I was insulting you? You are wrong about that point; I am merely stating the truth. As for insulting you, pardon my bluntness, but you do not even have the qualifications to be insulted by me."

"You!" Ye Xi was furious and seemed to want to say something more, but Yin Rourou walked forward and scolded delicately: "Enough! Ye Xi, stop making a scene!"

After stopping the impulsive Ye Xi, Yin Rourou walked slowly to the front of Lin Ye. Her pretty face held a trace of determination: "Divine Son Lin, this matter was the fault of my Wuding Sect from beginning to end. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive us this once."

"Furthermore, I agree to the marriage alliance!"

Lin Ye took a glance at Yin Rourou in front of him and teased: "This Saintess Yin, aren't you overestimating yourself a little bit?"

"Hm?" Yin Rourou looked confused, clearly somewhat bewildered, not understanding what Lin Ye meant.

Seeing the other person's confusion, Lin Ye spoke slowly: "What do you think you are?!"
