Chapter 1360 - 1364: To Fight or Not to Fight

Zhu Xiuyue saw Lin Feng coming, quickly greeted him, and whispered to Lin Feng, "Brother Feng, I’ve already checked for you. This person is Ye Liangdao, the leader of Beichen Martial Hall, Fourth Hall of the Hong Sect! He’s a true expert. This time he’s looking for you, probably for the same reason as Zhang Tie!"

Zhang Tie’s aim was to suppress Lin Feng, making him too embarrassed to compete for the position of Hong Sect Leader. If Ye Liangdao has the same goal, then he’s here to stir up trouble.

Lin Feng knew that the leader of the fourth hall of the Hong Sect was definitely not an ordinary person!

However, Lin Feng didn’t know that Ye Liangdao, leader of the fourth hall of the Hong Sect, was far more than just not ordinary!

Back in the day, Bai Youxian managed to become the third leader of the Hong Sect, not solely based on his prowess. Among the many experts in the Hong Sect, Bai Youxian barely counted as one of the top twenty. The reason he could hold onto the third leader position was due to his uncle, Bai Yuanshan, the Sect Leader, and his grandfather as the Hong Sect patriarch, Bai Liancheng...

Now, Bai Youxian is gone, and the third hall of the Hong Sect has yet to have a new leader ascend. In reality, Ye Liangdao is ranked as the third leader of the Hong Sect!

"Mr. Ye?" Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly walked up to Ye Liangdao, asking jokingly in a relaxed tone.

It’s normal for Lin Feng not to recognize Ye Liangdao, as during the opening of Longfeng Martial Hall, Ye Liangdao didn’t bother to attend. He casually sent a few subordinates to observe, and didn’t even send a flower basket...

"You are Lin Feng?" Ye Liangdao slightly raised his head, looking at the handsome and youthful boy in front of him. A cold glint flashed from his astute eyes. He hadn’t expected that this young lad, seemingly under twenty, was on par with him as the thirteenth leader of the Hong Sect! Moreover, due to Xu Yishan, Lin Feng’s reputation far exceeded his own.

"Why... do I not look like it?" Lin Feng laughed casually, touched his face and seriously said, "I know I’m a bit handsome, but that’s thanks to my parents. Can’t blame them..."

Zhu Xiuyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes upon hearing Lin Feng’s boastful words, amazed that Lin Feng could joke so seamlessly in such a situation... Truly impressive!

Zhu Xiuyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes, while Ye Liangdao was naturally speechless. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng’s shamelessness, truly an eye-opener...

The black-clad men behind Ye Liangdao heard Lin Feng’s words and naturally their faces changed. They felt that Lin Feng was deliberately disrespecting Ye Liangdao by joking with him, causing their expressions to become extremely unpleasant, staring at Lin Feng full of warning.

However, Ye Liangdao seemingly had a knack for managing his followers. Even though these black-clad bodyguards were dissatisfied with Lin Feng, none dared to question him.

"You’re the most shameless person I’ve ever met..." Ye Liangdao spoke slowly, looking at Lin Feng. Although his words sounded calm, as he gently put down his pipe and exhaled a puff of smoke, the atmosphere on site was instantly filled with an inexplicable bleakness.

Even as an ordinary person, Zhu Xiuyue felt something wasn’t right. She sensed a murderous intent from Ye Liangdao, strong enough to make cold sweat drip from her back.

Unbeknownst to Zhu Xiuyue, she was already enveloped by Ye Liangdao’s innate aura, and her uneasy feeling wasn’t baseless, but rather due to Ye Liangdao deliberately imposing a killing intent on her...

Of course, as an innate expert, Ye Liangdao wouldn’t target an ordinary woman like Zhu Xiuyue. His main focus was still Lin Feng, while Zhu Xiuyue was incidentally affected by his extremely faint killing intent...

Ye Liangdao exerted almost all of his innate aura onto Lin Feng. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be kneeling before him out of sheer terror by now... but Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged, and he even showed a peculiar smile.

"Mr. Ye, that just shows your lack of experience..." Lin Feng smiled at Ye Liangdao, calmly saying, "I’ve met plenty thicker-skinned than me! Like some people who come to provoke, yet pretend to be senior masters, really eye-opening!"

As soon as Lin Feng spoke, the men behind Ye Liangdao couldn’t hold back. One of the strong men standing slightly behind Ye Liangdao angrily pointed at Lin Feng, shouting,

"Bastard, what did you just say?!"

"Hmph!" Ye Liangdao snorted, his expression becoming slightly angry as he reproached, "Chen Fa, did I tell you to speak?!"

The young man named Chen Fa’s face changed, looked at Ye Liangdao with some grievance, "Boss, I... I was just speaking on your behalf..."

"Hmph!" Ye Liangdao coldly snorted again.

That time, the strong man named Chen Fa didn’t dare to speak anymore. Instead, he knelt down behind Ye Liangdao and fiercely kowtowed three times...

Seeing this, the other black-clad bodyguards were frightened, not daring to make a sound. When they looked at Lin Feng again, their gaze naturally became more murderous!

Lin Feng curiously watched this scene, secretly admiring that Ye Liangdao truly had some skills; the fear these black-clad men held toward him wasn’t something cultivated overnight!

"Lin Feng... straightforward people don’t beat around the bush. Since I’m sitting here, I’m not afraid to be blunt about my intentions! Both you and I are leaders of the Hong Sect, and naturally we have the right to compete for the leader position at the annual meeting in ten days. I’m here today to ask you one question: Are you going to compete for the leader position or not?!"

After saying that, Ye Liangdao coldly stared at Lin Feng, his gaze akin to a venomous snake ready to strike and devour.

Upon hearing such a question, Lin Feng’s expression slightly darkened. He looked at Ye Liangdao and asked in return, "What if I compete, what if I don’t?!"

"If you want to compete, I’m here today to crush that thought!" Ye Liangdao looked at Lin Feng, naturally saying, "If you don’t compete, we’re still good brothers, and in future meetings, we naturally won’t miss a chance to exchange pleasantries..."

Ye Liangdao’s words were incredibly domineering, making Lin Feng seem like a little fish on his chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at will.

"Oh, I get it, you’re now begging me to give you face and not compete?" Lin Feng suddenly chuckled, looking at Ye Liangdao and asked.

"Whether I’m begging you, you know very well..." Ye Liangdao’s gaze became increasingly dangerous, as if after talking to Lin Feng so much, his patience was wearing thin!
