55: Another sharp drop in cultivation level

The shamelessness of Old Ancestor Tianyu truly opened Ling Mofeng's eyes.

Watching that Old Bastard speak with such certainty, even someone as good-tempered as Ling Mofeng couldn't help but feel the urge to slap her twice.

"Sect Master Ling, you don't know how despicable that Little Beast, Shen Lian, is!"

"He knew Faner's fate was extraordinary, so he tried to kill him again and again. No matter how we tried to persuade him, it was useless."

"Ye Fan is the Son of Destiny, protected by the Heavenly Dao. Is he someone he can just harm whenever he wants?"

"But who would have thought that we would still fall for his schemes in the end. Sect Master Ling, you tell me, how can I not target such a person?"

Old Ancestor Tianyu continued to frantically twist the truth, trying to make Ling Mofeng understand her "difficulties."

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Ling Mofeng only said indifferently: "As far as I know, the Heavenly Feather Sect was not even a third-rate Sect before; it relied entirely on Shen Lian to rank among the great Sects of the Eastern Region."

"And as for the Son of Destiny, Ye Fan, that you speak of, I still don't know what contribution he has made to your Sect to this day."

"It seems that Shen Lian also played a part in Ye Fan's ability to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm within a hundred years, right?"

"Is it really appropriate for you to treat a Disciple who is like a second parent to the Sect in this way?"

Ling Mofeng was not like those brain-dead people in the Heavenly Feather Sect; his perception was very clear.

The key to the rise of the Heavenly Feather Sect was Shen Lian, not some Ye Fan.

Regarding Ye Fan, Ling Mofeng had also had contact with him and felt that he was just a petty person with mediocre talent, greedy for profit, and unscrupulous.

In contrast, although Shen Lian was a bit of a Fei Yangyang, he had a pure character and was very attentive to the Sect.

Now, Shen Lian's personality had changed drastically, which was within Ling Mofeng's expectations.

After all, anyone persecuted by such a crazy Sect every day would have their personality become extremely distorted.

Unfortunately, no one in the Heavenly Feather Sect, led by Old Ancestor Tianyu, clearly realized the current situation or that the root of all problems lay with themselves.

"Sect Master Ling, the relationship between us and Shen Lian cannot be explained in a few words."

"Now, in terms of seniority, I am also your elder. Even if you have prejudices against me, for the sake of Shen Chuyun, please temporarily provide us with a place to stay. When the Heavenly Feather Sect rises again, the Lingyun Sect will be glad for today's actions."

Old Ancestor Tianyu was actually still shamelessly painting a big picture.

Ling Mofeng only found it ridiculous. The Heavenly Feather Sect had reached this point, the Mountain Gate was gone, yet she still talked about rising again?

"I am truly sorry. If Sect Master Shen had come to ask me today, even if I were reluctant, I would have given her some face and not refused. However, there is no interaction between you and me. The conflict between you and Shen Lian is an internal Sect matter, and the Lingyun Sect is unwilling to participate. Please try another Sect, Old Ancestor."

After speaking, Ling Mofeng turned to leave, unwilling to say another word to this crazy person.

"Sect Master Ling, are you in love with Chuyun?"

Seeing that Ling Mofeng was unwilling to accept her, Old Ancestor Tianyu became anxious instantly.

"As long as Sect Master Ling is willing to take us in, I will let Chuyun marry you. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Mofeng's expression changed immediately.

He turned and asked: "Old Ancestor Tianyu, what do you mean by that?"

Old Ancestor Tianyu: "Naturally, it means exactly what I said. As long as you can take us in, I will decide to make Chuyun your Dao Companion. How about that?"

She was certain that upon hearing this news, Ling Mofeng would be so happy he would lose his composure.

At that time, not only would he take them in, but he would also give up a large amount of resources.

"Hehe, Old Ancestor Tianyu, what do you take Sect Master Shen for?"

Unexpectedly, Ling Mofeng showed a look of disdain.

"I think you might have misunderstood. The relationship between me and Sect Master Shen is a friendship between gentlemen, not the romantic love you think it is."

"Besides, I already have a fiancée. Is the Old Ancestor trying to ruin my marriage by saying this?"

"What?"

Now, it was Old Ancestor Tianyu's turn to be shocked.

"How can you not like Chuyun? I have seen you two talking happily several times?"

"That was because I was happy to have different insights when exchanging the Profound Truth of the Dao with Sect Master Shen."

"As for romantic feelings, I can swear on my Dao Heart that I have absolutely no improper thoughts about Sect Master Shen."

"My beloved is the Saintess of the Beihai Holy Land. Please, Old Ancestor, do not speculate wildly anymore."

Old Ancestor Tianyu was instantly speechless.

She never expected that Ling Mofeng actually had a fiancée, and her background was so great.

Clatter, clatter—

Just then, a heavy sound of horse hooves came from afar.

Instantly, all the Disciples of the Heavenly Feather Sect looked terrified, as if facing a great enemy.

Some even peed themselves and wailed on the spot, like they had gone mad.

"Hahaha—"

The familiar wild laughter started again, and the galloping netherworld chariot sped along.

Wherever the wheels rolled, they triggered waves of air explosions.

In the blink of an eye, a peerless figure descended from the sky, accompanied by the rising sun.

"Have you decided? Today, whose turn is it to die?"

Shen Lian raised his hand and pointed, issuing a death declaration.

All the Disciples of the Heavenly Feather Sect took a step back together, not even having the courage to meet Shen Lian's eyes.

After two days of hunting, they were truly afraid.

It was Old Ancestor Tianyu who was much calmer now, immediately shouting at Shen Lian: "Little Beast! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of Sect Master Ling!"

"Oh?"

Shen Lian gave a surprised sound, his cloak flared behind his shoulders, and the black iron mysterious fan flew out instantly, landing steadily in Shen Lian's hand as he opened it casually.

The next second, he looked at Ling Mofeng and said lightly: "Do you want to wade into this muddy water too?"

Ling Mofeng frowned.

The person in front of him clearly still had that familiar face, but why...

Was the pressure he gave him unprecedented?

Is he really Shen Lian?

"Sorry, Fellow Daoist Shen. This is a grievance between you and the Heavenly Feather Sect. The Lingyun Sect will not interfere."

Old Ancestor Tianyu's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Ling Mofeng: "Sect Master Ling, do you really not care about any past friendship at all?"

"Old Ancestor Tianyu, the so-called friendship between the Lingyun Sect and your Sect is really not as friendly as you think. The fruit of today is the cause you planted yourself that day. I have already persuaded you, but unfortunately, you didn't listen, so there is nothing I can do."

Old Ancestor Tianyu was completely numb. If the Lingyun Sect was unwilling to intervene, then wouldn't it...

"Since you don't want to wade into this muddy water, then leave quickly. Don't hinder me from communicating with this Old Ancestor Tianyu here."

Regarding Ling Mofeng, Shen Lian learned from the original body's memories that he was one of the few rare normal people.

He sympathized with his own encounters and was always skeptical about the so-called son of heavenly mandate.

Because Ling Mofeng had learned about the history of the Heavenly Feather Sect's sudden rise, which was inextricably linked to Shen Lian.

As for that Son of Destiny, Ye Fan, he had never made any contribution to the Heavenly Feather Sect from beginning to end.

So from the very beginning, Ling Mofeng had been very disdainful of the way the Heavenly Feather Sect abused Shen Lian.

Even if Shen Lian was not the Son of Destiny, he had made such brilliant contributions to the Sect, so they shouldn't have been so ungrateful.

If one day Shen Lian woke up, the Heavenly Feather Sect would probably never have peace.

It was just unexpected that this day would come so quickly and so violently.

"Naturally, whatever Fellow Daoist Shen and the Heavenly Feather Sect want to do, I will not participate. I just ask Fellow Daoist Shen not to let the grievances spill into my Sect. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to answer to the Grand Elder and the Disciples of the Sect. I hope you understand."

After speaking, Ling Mofeng bowed to Shen Lian, and then turned into spiritual light and disappeared outside the Mountain Gate.

At the same time, the Sect-protecting array was activated to prevent the Sect from being affected by the battle outside.

"Pfft—"

Seeing this scene, Old Ancestor Tianyu could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of old blood directly.

At the same time, she felt a current of electricity pass through her body, and she felt that the circulation of Spiritual Qi in her body had dropped significantly. The feeling of fullness in her dantian sea no longer existed.

She hurriedly checked her status.

Upon looking, she was shocked.

"My cultivation has fallen to the Peak of Undergoing Tribulation?"
