When Li Chengfeng saw this, he was secretly shocked. To him, these were not disciples of cultivation, they were clearly soldiers from the army!
Their uniform movements and murderous Twelve Temperaments sent chills down everyone's spines!
However, Grand Senior Brother was extremely dissatisfied. He glared at the crowd and yelled, "You guys look so weak, did you not eat?"
Someone mumbled, "Grand Senior Brother, you woke up early in the morning to do your homework, how could you have eaten?"
Grand Senior Brother raged, "Who said that? Step forward!"
The crowd snickered but no one stepped forward.
Grand Senior Brother looked to the side and yelled, "Sun Yongcai, don't think I don't know you're talking!"
Sun Yongcai lowered his head while the people around him covered their mouths and snickered, gloating.
Grand Senior Brother raged, "Didn't I let you eat your breakfast?
Why are you so stubborn? "
Sun Yongcai straightened his neck and said, "Grand Senior Brother, I just don't understand!"
Eldest Senior Brother was stunned. He did not expect that there would be a disciple who dared to talk back to him in public!
Grand Senior Brother's face turned green, his expression frighteningly dark. Mieqin, who was at the head of the formation, yelled, "Sun Yongcai, are you going against your superior?!"
Sun Yongcai was indignant, "Fifty years is a generation, Grand Senior Brother and I are of the same generation, why are you going against your superior?!"
Mieqin yelled, "Grand Senior Brother has been in charge of Hidden Sword Court for thirteen years. He wears the Hidden Sword Bracelet on his fingers and holds the Heaven Splitter Sword in his hand. He is the most respected person in Hidden Sword Court when the Martial Uncles are not around!
You're going against your superior by talking to him like that! "
Sun Yongcai raged, "I've been in Hidden Sword Court for twenty-five years and I've never seen a single Martial Uncle!
Who knows if they're all dead! "
When he said that, the crowd was in an uproar. The disciples whispered to each other, obviously Sun Yongcai's words had struck a chord in their hearts.
Grand Senior Brother's face was so dark that it could drip water. Mieqin raged, "Sun Yongcai, are you crazy?
How dare you say something like that!
Shut up!
Today, you're being rude in front of everyone, you're going against your superior. You're going to be confined for two months and half of your salary will be deducted!
Are you satisfied?! "
Sun Yongcai's face turned red, and he said angrily, "I refuse to accept this!"
This time, even the people around Sun Yongcai were shocked. They couldn't believe that Sun Yongcai had dared to collide with two of the most important figures in Hidden Sword Court.
Qin Mieqin took a deep breath. He realized that something was wrong today. This Sun Yongcai seemed to be stirring up trouble!
But … what could he do?
Could it be …
Qin Mieqin's eyelids twitched and he immediately said, "Even if you don't want to accept it, you have to accept it!
Men, take him away! "
Ouyang Nan, who was standing beside him, immediately stepped forward with a sinister smile. Sun Yongcai, however, suddenly stepped forward and roared, "Why don't you let me speak? Are you afraid that I'll break the mechanism and ruin your dream of being the Court Lord of Hidden Sword Court?!"
Everyone was talking about it, and they looked at Eldest Senior Brother suspiciously.
Ouyang Nan was furious. "Sun Yongcai, do you want to die?!"
Sun Yongcai said angrily, "What? You want to silence me?
Sure, come on! "
As he said that, he took off his cultivator's robe and bared his arms. He pointed at the wounds on his chest and said angrily, "Come, come here!
I've risked my life for Hidden Sword Court, and crawled back from the gates of hell three times. I have twenty-three scars on my body, but not one on my back! What does this mean?! "
Everyone looked at Sun Yongcai's smooth and undamaged back, and when he turned around to show everyone his scarred chest, they couldn't help but show sympathy.
Sun Yongcai patted his chest and said angrily, "Those bastards outside couldn't kill me. If you can, then come here!"
Grand Senior Brother suppressed his anger and said, "Sun Yongcai, what are you trying to say!
Today, in front of everyone, I'll let you say it. I'll let you say it to your heart's content! "
"Alright, then I'll say it to my heart's content today!"
Sun Yongcai threw caution to the wind. It was as if the anger that he had been suppressing for a long time had been ignited by a small matter today. He walked forward and stood in front of the crowd. He said loudly, "We entered the Spiritual Mountain Sect and Hidden Sword Court. Why?
Wasn't it to be the best?
But now?
What has Hidden Sword Court become?
Hidden Brocade Court oppresses us, Hidden Beauty Court looks down on us, and even Hidden Modesty Court bullies us. I, Sun Yongcai, joined Hidden Sword Court, and never once did I feel like I was living like a human! "
His words instantly ignited the suppressed anger in the hearts of all the disciples of Hidden Sword Court. They immediately roared like a prairie fire, "You're right!
Well said! "
Even the inconspicuous Qu Tongqiu and Zhao Yibai roared angrily, "We didn't join the Spiritual Mountain Sect to be bullied!"
When they were first selected to join the Spiritual Mountain Sect, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep for days. Even when they were assigned to Hidden Sword Court, they gradually realised that something was wrong.
Compared to other places where there were Senior Brothers and Uncles to teach and guide them step by step, Hidden Sword Court was like a big pot of rice. If they had any questions, they would ask the Senior Brothers, but the Senior Brothers were busy with their own cultivation and had no time to teach them. But when it came to cultivation, without a guide, how could they improve?
If they didn't go berserk, that was already a blessing.
Over the past ten years, many of the disciples had sunk into depression and despair. Under the joint suppression of the other three courts, they could not see any hope of rising again. The resources left for Hidden Sword Court were getting lesser and lesser, and the hope left for them was getting smaller and smaller.
Who would be willing to use the identity of a cultivator to commit robbery?
If it wasn't for the fact that they had no other choice, who would take this step?
Qu Tongqiu and Zhao Yibai couldn't help but tear up at the thought of this. There were more than one person who had the same thought as them. In an instant, the crowd was agitated.
Li Chengfeng, Yuehan, Xiaobao and the rest watched from afar, dumbfounded.
"You think you're not a human after joining Hidden Sword Court?" Grand Senior Brother's voice was filled with suppressed anger, his gaze sharpening.
Sun Yongcai yelled, "We've been bullied too much!
All the benefits belong to the three heavenly courts, and all the hard work and death jobs belong to us, the Hidden Sword Court!
Why?! "
"That's right!
They can take care of the good stuff, we'll take care of the bad stuff! "
"Shut up!"
The Eldest Senior Brother's words were like thunder in spring. His angry shout instantly suppressed the whole place. Everyone was shocked and speechless for a moment.
Grand Senior Brother said angrily, "Hidden Sword Court has always been in charge of external affairs, this is a rule that has been passed down for many years!"
Sun Yongcai also raged, "It doesn't matter if we risk our lives!
But why can't we get anything good out of it?!
If you don't give us justice, we'll ask the Martial Uncles for justice! "
"That's right, we want justice!" The crowd roared in unison.
Grand Senior Brother said angrily, "The Martial Uncles are either in closed door cultivation or have gone to war in the Puppet Country. Don't you know?!"
Sun Yongcai laughed coldly, "That's right, you keep saying that. The other three courts don't have any Martial Uncles, but we've been bullied to this extent. Hidden Sword Court has been bullied to this extent. Do you think they'll still be in closed door cultivation?
Do they not care whether we live or die!? "
The disciples were so angry that they could no longer control themselves. Even when Ouyang Nan and the rest rushed up to punch and kick, they could not control themselves. Instead, some of the more hot-tempered disciples also started fighting.
Fortunately, the conflict had not escalated, so they did not use spells or magical weapons.
Grand Senior Brother finally realised that today's incident had turned into a terrifying attempt to force the Emperor to abdicate. Instead, he calmed down and scanned the crowd, paying attention to everyone's reactions and movements. When he saw Li Chengfeng and the others at the back of the crowd, who seemed to have nothing to do with the situation, he was stunned. His expression darkened. It's him?
Could it be that he was the one who instigated today's incident?
Just as he was thinking, Sun Yongcai shouted, "If Grand Senior Brother doesn't give us an explanation today, we won't carry out any more missions! Whoever wants to die can go themselves!"
"Yes yes yes!" The crowd replied in unison.
Ouyang Nan said angrily, "Sun Yongcai, I think you're trying to betray us!
You want to betray the court, right?!
Let me tell you, even if you want to betray the court, someone has to be willing to take you in! "
As he spoke, he glared at them and roared, "What are you shouting for?!
If you don't want to stay, then leave. Hidden Sword Court will not hold you back, we will not pursue this matter! "
Although the Hidden Sword Court was currently facing internal and external troubles and was on the verge of a desperate situation, it was still one of the four heavenly courts of the Spiritual Mountain Sect. If they were to leave this place, they would lose their identity as cultivators, and their families would immediately lose all glory and power in their hometown.
The benefits that cultivators brought them would be gone. At that time, all the forces that coveted them would pounce on them like vultures, tearing their corpses apart and dividing their wealth, just like how the major sects divided the Nine Cauldrons Sect in the past.
The higher you climbed, the more miserable you would be when you fell. This was a universal truth from ancient to modern times, in China and abroad.
The crowd fell silent. The angry voices disappeared in an instant, so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Ouyang Nan did not expect his angry words to have such an effect. He was stunned for a moment, then mocked, "Why don't you think about it, other than Hidden Sword Court, where else can you go?
Do any of the other three courts want you? "
When Grand Senior Brother and Qin Mieqin heard this, their expressions changed.
The crowd was also enraged but did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the arena, "Of course we do, why wouldn't we?"
Li Chengfeng and the rest immediately turned towards the source of the voice. They saw a man and a woman standing not far away. They had no idea when they arrived.
One of them was dressed in embroidered cultivator robes. He was Li Chengfeng's' old friend ', Huangfu Song. The other was beautiful, dressed in Hidden Beauty Court's cultivator robes. She was also Li Chengfeng's old friend, Ji Chunhua.
