Chapter 75: I Can Forget About It

"Trouble comes in succession," someone in the hall chuckled lightly, appearing to relish the spectacle.

Earlier, the conflict between Zheng Chuan and Li Xun was mainly caused by Zheng Chuan's fault. After all, it was he who had spoken carelessly behind Li Xun's back.

If Zheng Chuan had really made a move an hour ago, even if Li Xun had crippled or severely injured him, Xuanyin Sect wouldn't have much to say about it.

But now things are different.

This time, Xuanyang Sect was in the wrong. A Xuanyang Sect disciple had injured several Beast Taming Sect disciples, which was a significant matter.

Everyone knew that the strength of the Beast Taming Sect lay in their ability to tame beasts. However, in the Zhentian City, Beast Taming Sect disciples couldn't use their beasts.

As a result, their combat power was reduced by more than half.

"Since when did the Xuanyang Sect become such a bully?" Ning Cheng calmly remarked, but anyone could sense the anger simmering beneath his words. His gaze fell on Li Xun as he continued, "I wonder, what does Brother Li think about this matter?"

At this moment, even the Crown Prince and the Third Princess at the head of the table didn't immediately speak up. After all, there were no signs of Li Xun and Ning Cheng engaging in combat yet. If they were to speak out rashly, it would appear too biased towards Li Xun's side.

"The actions of the Beast Taming Sect today are indeed a bit excessive," Li Xun said casually, unfazed.

As soon as he spoke, many people were momentarily at a loss.

What's going on?

Shouldn't the Beast Taming Sect be the one demanding justice now?

Why did Li Xun's words make it seem like Xuanyang Sect was the victim, and the Beast Taming Sect was deliberately provoking them?

"Is Brother Li joking?" Ning Cheng's eyes were sharp, his tone chilling to the extreme.

Clearly, their disciples were the ones injured, but Li Xun's words seemed to turn the tables, making it appear as if the Beast Taming Sect was not being taken seriously at all.

"I never joke," Li Xun shook his head and looked at the Beast Taming Sect disciple who had just entered, saying indifferently, "You just mentioned that Ye Han injured several Beast Taming Sect disciples, but why didn't you mention why Ye Han acted?"

"I... " The disciple was at a loss for words. He glanced at Ning Cheng beside him and suddenly felt a surge of courage. He said in a low voice, "The cause of the incident was that one of our senior brothers from the Beast Taming Sect took a liking to a black stone. He intended to purchase it, but Ye Han, relying on his strong cultivation, not only injured several senior brothers but also forcibly bought the stone!"

"Oh really?" Li Xun chuckled lightly, indifferent. "Why do I hear something completely different from what you said? It seems that it was your Beast Taming Sect disciple who intended to forcibly snatch the stone from Ye Han."

"And, you just mentioned that Ye Han relied on his strong cultivation, but perhaps you've forgotten that Ye Han's cultivation is only at the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm."

"The injured members of your Beast Taming Sect, if I'm not mistaken, should have the strength of the Spirit Connection Realm, right?"

"Ah— this—" Upon hearing Li Xun's words, the hall fell into a stunned silence.

Many people couldn't hold back anymore.

Although most of the Beast Taming Sect disciples' combat power lies in their ability to control beasts, their own strength should not be underestimated. Yet, even with several of them teaming up and surpassing Ye Han by a whole realm, they still couldn't defeat a disciple at the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

If this were to spread, the Beast Taming Sect would likely become a laughingstock.

Similarly, they also glanced deeply at Li Xun.

Li Xun's talent was already terrifying, but it seemed that Xuanyang Sect had another young genius in the making. Once both of them grew up, the future strength of Xuanyang Sect would indeed be formidable.

"No matter what the process was, the fact remains that the ones injured now are several disciples of my Beast Taming Sect," Ning Cheng remained unmoved. He looked at Li Xun and slowly spoke, "Hand Ye Han over to my Beast Taming Sect for punishment, and I can treat today's incident as if it never happened."

As he spoke, a terrifying aura emanated from him, vast and mighty like Wang Yang's, suppressing many of the prodigies present.

This Ning Cheng truly lived up to his reputation as the number one genius of the Beast Taming Sect. Even without summoning his beast, once he got angry, his own strength alone made people wary.

If he had the assistance of his beast, many of those present would likely not be a match for him.

"Li Xun, hand him over. Do you think you can protect that Ye Han?"

At this moment, Zheng Chuan also chimed in, his lips curling into a cold smile, looking like he was enjoying the spectacle.

He admitted to himself that he might not be Li Xun's match, but the situation was different now. With Ning Cheng taking the lead, he didn't mind throwing a stone while Li Xun was in the well.

Let's see how Li Xun would end up today.

At the head of the table, two distinguished figures also watched this scene with interest. The Third Princess furrowed her brows slightly. She had intended to intervene again, but was inexplicably blocked by a mysterious force.

Her eyes narrowed as she looked at the figure beside her, who was calmly sipping tea. She let out a cold snort.

This mansion belongs to her. If the two prodigies really make a move, it won't affect the Crown Prince much, but for her, the Third Princess, it's a different story.

If she can't even control such a small scene, what qualifications does she have to vie for the position of the Grand Zhou Emperor?"

"The truth of the matter has not yet been clarified. Isn't it too arbitrary for Daoist Friend Ning to demand that Brother Li hand over the person?" Yao Feng from the Spirit Sword Sect spoke slowly.

It wasn't surprising to many that Yao Feng spoke up for Li Xun, considering the good relations between the Spirit Sword Sect and the Xuanyang Sect.

But the next moment, Ning Cheng glanced at Yao Feng and indifferently said, "The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect have already been injured. That is the truth!"

With these words, even Yao Feng's temper and expression couldn't help but change. Ning Cheng was too domineering.

If the Xuanyang Sect really handed over the person, that disciple named Ye Han, once in the hands of the Beast Taming Sect, would probably have a very tragic end.

“Hah.”

A light laugh came.

All eyes in the hall turned to Li Xun.

Feeling the gaze of the crowd, Li Xun remained indifferent, still calm and composed. He casually said, "I have something to say to you as well."

"If you hand over those from the Beast Taming Sect, I can overlook this matter!"

With these words, many in the hall were stunned.

They thought Li Xun would round things off, admit fault, and let the matter pass. But unexpectedly, Li Xun held firm, showing no signs of backing down. Instead, he not only didn't show any signs of yielding, but also demanded members from the Beast Taming Sect. This completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
