Peerless Battle Spirit

The people of the Qin Clan stared with their eyes open wide. Green veins popped out on their foreheads due to their fury.

This Fang Rulong was too conceited and tyrannical. Not only did he humiliate them verbally, he had also crippled a disciple of their clan.

The action was the same as slapping the Qin Clan in the face in front of the public; no respect was given.

Qin Tian immediately rose from his seat with an infuriated look, “Fang Li, what is your Fang Clan planning to do? It’s only a duel. Do you really need to cripple my disciple?”

If it weren’t for Tie San dragging Qin Tian back, he would have rushed forward straight away and beaten Fang Rulong.

Even though Qin Tian no longer had the same status in the Qin Clan as before, he still considered himself as one of the clan. He would not watch his own people being humiliated and bullied in such a manner.

Fang Li’s expression remained the same. He completely ignored Qin Tian’s fury. Instead, his face was filled with a grin, “Patriarch Qin Tian, I believe you’re mistaken. First of all, there is no restriction in the duel, including the life of the participants. Secondly, I agree with Fang Rulong’s statement. Trash like him does not have the right to live in this world, thus it serves him right to be crippled.”

The people of the Qin Clan were startled once again.

They had not expected Fang Li to utter such words. It was clear that the Fang Clan was picking on their Qin Clan.

“Fine, very well!” Qin Changkong could no longer withhold his anger, who burst out laughing with a dark expression. His eyes scanned the disciples of the Fang Clan and he said, “If your Fang Clan insists on doing so, I shall take a look at the standard of your disciples today…”

On top of Qin Changkong, the rest of the disciples and elders of the Qin Clan let out hollow laughs while their eyes flickered with cold murderous intent.

If you Fang Clan decided to target us shamelessly, we Qin Clan will show no mercy either.

Did you really think that our Qin Clan was just a push-over?

However, at that moment, a sudden laugh could be heard, which turned out to be Bai Heng.

His laugh immediately grabbed the attention of both clans.

Bai Heng seemed to be feeling quite pleasant, as he began to speak, “Enough, stop arguing. In my opinion, Fang Rulong did the right thing. Trash like him should be crippled. Good job!”

The crowd of the Qin Clan was stunned upon hearing this.

What did Elder Bai Heng mean? Was he supporting the Fang Clan?

Bai Heng hesitated for a while before he scanned the crowd with an icy gaze, “Now, Fang Rulong is the participant that I’m fond of. If any of you are trying to harm him, I will not go easy on you. Do know that a mere Qin Clan is nothing but an ant in my eyes!”

The people of the Qin Clan were left in awe.

They had never expected Elder Bai Heng to be this straightforward, telling them that he was being partial to the Fang Clan.

What did that mean? Was he implying that the Fang Clan Was allowed to harm the Qin Clan, but the Qin Clan was not allowed to resist?

Qin Changkong and Qin Tieba in particular wore pale faces.

They had been told that Qin Changkong had been selected as the disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect. The selection was only a show to the public. However, now that Elder Bai Heng was supporting the Fang Clan this obviously, did that imply that he had chosen Fang Rulong instead?

If that was the case, it would serve as a thunderbolt out of the blue to Qin Changkong.

Without Elder Bai Heng’s support, even with his fifth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, he would not have a chance to join the Mystic Spirit Sect.

“Elder...Elder Bai.” Qin Changkong’s fury vanished completely as he spoke in a stuttering manner, “I… I didn’t mean what I said…Elder Bai, please… don’t take it wrongly. I promise, the Qin Clan will not take revenge on the Fang Clan.”

In addition to Qin Changkong, the others also wore hesitant faces, before they immediately let out forced smiles.

They no longer cared if Qin Li had been crippled, neither would they care if the Fang Clan was targeting them. They only knew that if they were to offend Elder Bai Heng, their Qin Clan would be doomed.

“Elder Bai is right, why would we take revenge?”

“Fang Rulong has such a strong personality, of course we would agree with him…”

“That’s right, it’s rare to find someone with such a strong determination pursuing the path of cultivation.”

“……”

The deacons and elders of the Qin Clan continued to fawn upon Elder Bai Heng.

Only Qin Tian and Tie San wore displeased looks. They somehow speculated about the scheme, but they could not show their anger under the current circumstances.

If they were to become enraged, they would need to face Elder Bai Heng’s wrath.

How would the entire Qin Clan survive it?

Elder Bai Heng nodded his head in satisfaction, “That’s right. I’m glad you have made the right choice. Qin Changkong, show me your best. I still have high hopes in you.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Changkong and the others could not help but let out sighs of relief.

As long as Elder Bai Heng was happy, did it matter if Fang Rulong crippled a few disciples of their clan?

The eyes of Fang Li and Fang Rulong flickered with great disdain upon seeing this. It seemed like they had expected this to happen.

In addition to them, the disciples and elders of the Fang Clan were extremely excited.

With Elder Bai Heng being partial toward their clan, how would they be afraid of the Qin Clan?

Xiao Qingxue observed the situation in silence on the platform. She did not speak throughout the process, but as the people of the Qin Clan compromised in order to fawn upon Elder Bai Heng, her eyes flickered with a hint of disgust.

Following this, Xiao Qingxue suddenly recalled the young man who could stare right into her eyes, thus she switched her focus onto his figure.

Qin Nan’s expression remained calm as always, as if he were not concerned that Elder Bai Heng was being biased, and neither was he angry after Fang Rulong had crippled the disciple of the Qin Clan.

Although Qin Nan hid it well, Xiao Qingxue could keenly detect a hint of iciness from his eyes.

This caused Xiao Qingxue to be curious; what would this guy do when the time came?

Meanwhile, Fang Rulong glanced in Qin Nan’s direction as if a sudden thought had come to him.

Following the glance, his expression turned icy as he uttered in a scornful manner, “Young Master Qin Nan, you’re only a piece of trash with a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit. Why are you glaring at our Fang Clan murderously? Do you really think you could do something to the disciples of the Fang Clan?”

The crowd of the Qin Clan was startled before they all gazed at Qin Nan.

The smile on Elder Bai Heng’s face was withdrawn. He had already been displeased with Qin Nan’s attitude from before. After hearing Fang Rulong’s words, his hatred toward him grew even stronger, which caused his face to turn icy as a terrifying aura was emitted from his body.

The atmosphere of the scene instantly intensified due to Elder Bai Heng’s bursting aura.
