Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1176 - 1174: The Day We Meet Again Will Be the Day You Die
Seeing all beings kneel.
Only then did Yi Shengtang retract his fierce gaze, swept his sleeve, and turned to sit on the main seat.
"Everyone, rise!"
His voice was clear and resounding, shaking the nine heavens.
"Thank you, Clan Leader!"
"Thank you, Clan Leader!"
The entire hall spoke in unison, thousands of voices converging, yet not surpassing Yi Shengtang's single voice.
Everyone shuffled to their feet, timid and cautious.
Although after Yi Shengtang declared Lin Fan the supreme guest of the Shennong Clan, no one dared to question Lin Fan's identity again.
But doubts persisted, leaving the crowd puzzled and confused.
The arrival of Lin Fan had already stirred the entire Shennong Clan into turmoil, disturbing its peace.
Now even the Clan Leader stood on Lin Fan's side, truly baffling.
Seeing the crowd's frightened, alarmed, yet not daring to question expressions, holding their anxiety in their hearts, Lin Fan found it quite amusing.
Ants are ants, no matter who, they seem like ants in their eyes.
Identity dictates perspective.
Ants can only always crawl on the ground.
"It seems there are still many who are quite dissatisfied with me."
Lin Fan's lips curved slightly, his eyes shooting a cold light as he swept his gaze over the crowd.
Upon hearing these words.
Everyone's hearts were greatly shocked, their breath halted, immediately becoming restless and uneasy.
At the same time, they all avoided eye contact with Lin Fan, turning their heads away, fearing that once they made eye contact, they would be singled out.
Questioning Lin Fan was a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations!
"Who?! Who dares to be dissatisfied with you?"
Yi Shengtang was furious, having just announced, yet as soon as the words fell, someone had a change of heart.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, seeing beads of sweat breaking out on everyone's foreheads, one by one appearing flustered.
"Whoever's sweating on their forehead, that's who," he teased.
Like a reflex, everyone quickly reached out, unconsciously wiping the sweat off their foreheads.
On the main hall, among the thousands, not one was spared.
At the moment they touched their foreheads, everyone froze, dumbfounded.
Silence.
An awkward silence.
A deathly silence!
The crowd's hearts were first shocked, then regretful, and finally, ashamed and angry.
Lin Fan, the rascal, had actually made a monkey out of them!
"Hahaha!"
"Interesting! Truly interesting!"
Lin Fan clapped and laughed, quite satisfied with his prank. Watching the civil and military officials' faces turn ashen, embarrassed and bewildered, he laughed until his stomach hurt.
The crowd exchanged glances, hurriedly putting down their hands, angry and ashamed.
As they looked up, just about to confront Lin Fan.
They noticed Yi Shengtang beside them, face flushed with rage, his eyes wide open, seeming to burn with a fierce fire.
"You dare defy the heavens!"
"Are my words just whispers in the wind?!"
"Do you not regard me as the Clan Leader?!"
Yi Shengtang's roar formed a hurricane, blowing fiercely at the crowd, the strong gales like a passing typhoon, causing everyone to stagger and sway.
Trembling in fear.
People in panic!
"Do I, Yi Shengtang, need you to point fingers at my actions?"
Lin Fan sneered beside him, naturally indifferent to their grumbles, after all, many held opinions against him, some even wanting him dead.
He didn't regard these flies at all.
He only had one thing in mind now, when he could finally meet Yi Tianqiu.
"Clan Leader, there's no need to get angry over this trivial matter," Lin Fan said lightly in persuasion. "Let's handle the proper business swiftly."
Yi Shengtang, about to catch a scapegoat, to serve as a warning to others, was interrupted by Lin Fan, immediately changing his expression, smiling as he said, "There's no need for haste, Master Lin, they will be brought here at once."
"Come! Bring Yi Tianqiu to me!"
Whoosh!
The entire hall erupted instantly!
Dumbfounded, hair standing on end.
Did the Clan Leader agree to Lin Fan's demands?!
Bodies trembled.
This was a great shame for the Shennong Clan!
An unprecedented great shame!
The dignified Clan Leader actually being coerced by another, gifting away the life of his clan's young master.
An unheard-of reasoning.
If other Ancient Clans knew of this matter, it might become a joke for millennia, passed down through the ages.
Some stubborn Shennong elders could no longer care for their lives.
In their view.
The face of the Shennong Clan was more important than their lives.
"Clan Leader! This cannot be done!"
"Clan Leader! From ancient times, there has never been a reason for outsiders to coerce us."
"Clan Leader! Yi Tianqiu cannot be handed over, it shames the Shennong, shames the ancestors."
"Clan Leader! Please reconsider!"
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
…...
In the crowd, as one person knelt, a second knelt, then a third, a fourth…
Before long.
Nearly half the people had knelt, pleading for Yi Shengtang to retract his command, reconsider his actions.
Yi Shengtang's mouth twitched, his expression exceedingly ugly.
He couldn't believe.
How difficult it was to kill a single Yi Tianqiu.
His gaze deep and sharp, he looked coldly.
"Are you rebelling?"
His voice was extremely calm, indifferent, tranquil as an ancient well.
But beneath the calm, undercurrents surged, waves of anger billowing.
"Clan Leader, we dare not rebel. But this matter, we still find it inappropriate, it should be well-considered."
An old man, hair and beard all white, quivered as he spoke. He was clearly an elder of the Shennong Clan, seemingly believing Yi Shengtang wouldn't dare act against him, so he was the first to advise.
His words immediately gained the crowd's approval and response, a murmur rising in the main hall.
Yi Shengtang merely looked coldly at the crowd, saying nothing more, nor did he order the retraction of his command.
He simply stood silently, hands behind his back.
Silence was more terrifying, more chilling than any form of roar.
A roar was merely inner panic.
But silence could evoke fear deep within the soul.
Those kneeling on the ground could most deeply feel this sensation, beads of sweat instantly forming on their foreheads, running down their cheeks, sweat pouring like rain, soon soaking their clothes.
"Yi Tianqiu, present!"
In the silence, a shout suddenly rang out.
With a rush.
Those kneeling on the ground immediately raised their heads, looking in the direction the voice came from, their expressions extraordinarily tense, as if killing Yi Tianqiu meant no future for the Shennong Clan.
They failed to notice the most important point.
The Shennong Clan would not perish just because of one person's disappearance.
Yi Tianqiu was seen with iron chains on his hands and feet, hair disheveled, clothes ragged, hollow and vacant eyes, stumbling towards the crowd.
His face was devoid of the slightest expression.
Like a walking corpse.
Yi Tianqiu knew, from the day he was imprisoned, his death was sealed.
Only this day came a little later than he imagined.
Suddenly.
A figure flashed before Yi Tianqiu, blocking his path.
Cling!
Cling!
The guards on either side immediately drew their swords, glaring fiercely, murderously.
Upon seeing who it was, they inhaled sharply, retreating three steps, frightened by the icy, ruthless gaze of the newcomer.
Lin Fan stood in front of Yi Tianqiu.
A murderous aura filled the air.
"Yi Tianqiu, we finally meet again."
"Do you remember, that the day we reunite would be the day of your death."
