Chapter 147: That Stinky Girl Must Be Overjoyed to Receive the News of Lin Xuan's Resurrection
"What is going on?"
"Luo Li, what are you doing?"
At this moment, the surrounding Laws of Heaven and Earth vanished, startling the people who were comprehending the Dao from their state of enlightenment. They all wore furious expressions.
Lin Xuan's lecture was extremely profound, making them feel as if they were constantly immersed in an ocean of enlightenment. Many confusing areas instantly became clear, and their cultivation realms soared.
Such a great opportunity was interrupted by Luo Li. As the saying goes, interrupting someone's path of cultivation is akin to murdering their parents.
If Luo Li did not give them an explanation today, they would not let her off the hook.
"Hehe!"
Lin Xuan looked at the indignant crowd, and a cold sneer involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.
That's right, he intentionally stopped the lecture.
Luo Li wanted to cause trouble, didn't she?
He would let her cause trouble to her heart's content.
He wanted to see if Luo Li could withstand the anger of the crowd.
"Despicable."
Luo Li cursed inwardly. Lin Xuan looked upright, wearing a snow-white robe, with an extraordinary demeanor.
However, he was a piece of trash, beautiful on the outside but rotten on the inside—despicable, shameless, and very hypocritical.
But this was good as well.
If Lin Xuan didn't make a mistake, she wouldn't be able to cause trouble, would she?
As for the crowd's anger, it didn't matter. Since she was in the right, these people could do nothing to her anyway.
"Elder Chen, I report that Elder Lin Xuan is unfit to be a teacher and has a depraved character..." Luo Li bowed respectfully and spoke with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan was instantly angered into laughter, his eyes cold.
Speaking of depraved character, who could compare to Zhi Meng and her disciple?
Luo Li shamelessly ran over to sponge off his benefit, yet he hadn't even settled the score with her, and she was already playing the victim, making a counter-accusation.
The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the colder his eyes became, and killing intent permeated his surroundings.
A mere ant dared to provoke him. Lin Xuan was furious and still furious.
He, a great expert in the Divine Fire Realm, was being pointed at and cursed for having a depraved character by Luo Li. His authority was completely swept away.
Even if he killed Luo Li, the crown that was lost would be difficult to pick up; his authority would be hard to recover.
The people present were stunned into silence by what they heard.
A King Realm reporting a Divine Fire Realm, if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they absolutely would not have believed it.
What kind of audacity did Luo Li have?
Was she not afraid of being obliterated by a single glance from Lin Xuan?
In fact, Luo Li was truly afraid.
That's why she sent a message to Gu Qing.
After waiting for a while and not receiving a reply from Gu Qing, she did not hesitate to send a message to Zhi Meng.
"Luo Li, do you have evidence?"
Chen Hekun interrupted Luo Li's incessant talk. If he let Luo Li continue, Lin Xuan would probably take action.
He, a peak Saint Realm expert, couldn't stop an enraged Lin Xuan.
"Yes."
Luo Li was reassured after receiving Zhi Meng's reply, and she immediately stopped wasting words, projecting the scene of Lin Xuan targeting her into the air.
This was what she had recorded with a Shadow Recording Jade.
With this ironclad evidence, Lin Xuan could forget about taking a single disciple today.
After all, just as Lin Xuan thought, the Lecture Peak was related to the Star Temple's legacy and was sacred and inviolable.
Lin Xuan's deliberate targeting seemed inconsequential to him; it was his Dao field, and he could choose who listens and who doesn't.
However, according to the Star Temple's sectarian rules, Lin Xuan had committed a major taboo.
In serious cases, his cultivation would be abolished, and he would be imprisoned in the Celestial Dungeon to endure the nine great tortures.
Luo Li didn't understand.
How could Lin Xuan make such a basic mistake?
Had Lin Xuan not read the Temple's rules?
"Elder Lin Xuan, what do you have to say?"
After watching the projection, Chen Hekun was disdainful of Lin Xuan. Of course, he didn't show it on the surface, maintaining a professional attitude.
Lin Xuan: ...
His head was buzzing.
He truly hadn't expected Luo Li to have this move.
He had always been the one calculating others, so when had he ever been calculated against?
A surge of anger rushed to his heart. Lin Xuan wanted to flip the table and just slap Luo Li to death.
"Lin Xuan, why did you deliberately target Luo Li?"
Seeing Lin Xuan remain silent, Chen Hekun bit the bullet and continued to ask.
"Hoo～"
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent in his heart. He stood with his hands behind his back and spoke indifferently: "Why should I explain my actions to the likes of you?"
What a joke. A Divine Fire Realm expert being interrogated—no one would believe it if it were spoken aloud.
Lin Xuan could not and would not explain.
"Elder Lin Xuan, but you have violated the Temple's ironclad laws." Chen Hekun was speechless.
Lin Xuan was wantonly trampling the Temple's rules. Did he think the Temple was his own home?
That he could do whatever he wanted?
Even a lawless person like Gu Qing insisted on having evidence and standing on the moral high ground when taking action.
Lin Xuan fell silent, feeling utterly wronged in his heart.
Damn it, he, a god among men and an existence transcending the secular world, was actually being judged by an ant.
This made Lin Xuan furious and frantic, yet completely helpless.
Luo Li looked at Lin Xuan's gradually twisting expression and sneered internally, Weren't you arrogant just now?
Go on, keep it up.
"Since Elder Lin Xuan has nothing to say, then let us follow the Temple rules and implement the lightest punishment: a fine of one billion contribution points. What do you think?"
Chen Hekun asked tentatively.
If it were anyone else, their cultivation would certainly be abolished, and they would be thrown into the Celestial Dungeon.
But Lin Xuan was in the Divine Fire Realm, and since no Ancestor came out to preside over justice, he could only apply the lightest punishment.
However, one billion contribution points was still not a light penalty.
The famous Seven Star Divine Ability only cost one hundred million contribution points to exchange for.
Lin Xuan gave a lecture, gained nothing, and lost one billion. He had utterly disgraced himself, a feat few could match.
Lin Xuan's face was gloomy, and he did not reply, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
Although he had stopped his lecture just now, he had allowed these people's realms to soar.
He had the grace of imparting the Dao to these people; surely it wasn't too much to ask them to say a word for him?
As long as all these people stood on his side, the one who would be punished would be Luo Li.
Because sometimes, the truth of the matter is not important. Under the general trend, black can be turned into white; one can point to a deer and call it a horse.
"Cough!"
When the crowd met Lin Xuan's gaze, they lowered their heads one after another. Some coughed lightly, exchanging notes with their companions about their spirit beasts giving birth to nine pure-blooded cubs.
It was not that they refused to help, but that Lin Xuan was too embarrassing.
Even if he had a blood feud with Zhi Meng, he shouldn't have been so narrow-minded as to target Luo Li.
After all, if he accepted this lecture task, he should have seen it through to the end.
In the end, it was just a business transaction.
What "grace of imparting the Dao" nonsense? He received contribution points and reputation, and they came to listen to the Dao; this was a mutual agreement.
He should not elevate himself too highly.
Of course, if Lin Xuan were flourishing, they wouldn't mind owing him the grace of imparting the Dao.
After all, relationships are built on such mutual debts.
But now Lin Xuan was being outputted by Luo Li right in his face, which showed how useless Lin Xuan was.
If they were to get involved with Lin Xuan, wouldn't they risk death and Dao destruction if they were resented by the Zhi Meng faction?
"A bunch of ungrateful wretches..."
Seeing this, Lin Xuan could not help but feel utterly enraged.
These people had just received benefits from him, yet they instantly forgot all about it. They were simply a group of thankless, ungrateful wretches.
Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve and left. If he didn't leave now, he feared he wouldn't be able to resist killing someone.
As for taking on disciples... Lin Xuan did want to, but no one was willing to take him as a master.
He couldn't possibly beg others to become his disciples, could he?
The most pressing matter was to first go and trick Bai Suying into taking him as a master.
These small fry can do whatever they want.
One day, he would make these people regret missing out on such a great opportunity with him.
"Everyone, farewell."
Luo Li flew onto the high platform, sharply scanned the crowd, and, after leaving a final word, flew away again.
The people present exchanged glances. They were not fools. Luo Li's actions were clearly a warning to them not to associate with Lin Xuan.
The crowd looked solemn, making up their minds to stay far away from Lin Xuan in the future and absolutely avoid getting involved with him.
After all, the dispute between the two sides was already laid bare.
Moreover, they could now see that Zhi Meng, Gu Qing, and this Luo Li were not reasonable people.
Their methods were vicious and decisive, yet they also wielded great power. If they were resented, the consequences would be unimaginable.
On the other side, Luo Li was surrounded by a host of followers, appearing like an unparalleled empress.
But upon entering the Goddess Peak, Luo Li immediately withdrew her imposing majesty and sharp edge, walking into the main hall with lowered eyes and a submissive demeanor.
Wang Fan and the others were also nervous; this was an unparalleled goddess who was as famous as Jiang Yu, possessing boundless magic power and infinite divine abilities.
They wondered what her demeanor was like.
Curious in their hearts, Wang Fan and the others quickly glanced at her, then immediately lowered their heads.
Beautiful.
This was their first feeling.
Very beautiful.
This was their second feeling.
Zhi Meng's beauty was that of a Demon God, naturally possessing an unrivaled aura that looked down upon the world.
"Master!" Luo Li was submissive and well-behaved, showing no trace of her domineering and aloof presence outside.
"Mm!"
Zhi Meng replied with a faint acknowledgment, then threw a bead sealed with the World-Destroying Divine Thunder to her. "Well done!"
Luo Li scanned it with her Divine Sense and was overjoyed, hurriedly saying, "Thank you, Master, for the praise, but this is all thanks to Senior Brother's efforts. I merely acted according to the plan."
She knew very well that Zhi Meng was cold and ruthless and did not care about her. The only disciple she cared about was Gu Qing.
Praising Gu Qing and catering to her preference might allow her to gain a little more attention from Zhi Meng.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, a trace of a smile appeared on Zhi Meng's cold and beautiful divine face.
"This boy, he truly is my good disciple. Without me even realizing it, he has helped me solve a great problem."
She was not afraid of Lin Xuan; she was only afraid of Jiang Yu and Lin Xuan joining forces.
However, Gu Qing had caused them to become enemies.
Thus, Lin Xuan was no longer a threat.
She could kill Lin Xuan the first time, and she could kill him a second time.
Moreover, this time, she would grind Lin Xuan's bones to dust right in front of that stinky girl.
Thinking this, Zhi Meng revealed a wicked smile.
"That stinky girl must be overjoyed to receive the news of Lin Xuan's resurrection..."
Luo Li felt a chill run through her body at Zhi Meng's smile; it was too terrifying.
Even though Zhi Meng did not leak a trace of her aura, Luo Li felt that Zhi Meng was a demon wearing the appearance of a goddess, who loved to toy with people's hearts—evil and powerful.
