“Linghu Feng, show that you care about our sect. Step back. If you want to be useful, you better think about how you can make Huashan better. You don't have to become a leader to protect those you love. A good brother is enough for this.”
Feng became gloomy. He didn't know what to do, didn't know what to do. Yes, he really didn't think about the others. He was loved and supported by so many Huashan students, but he only thought about his own.
But he couldn't give up!
How many times has he failed his elders and comrades! By retreating now, he will let them down even more..
Swallowing, he shouted:
“Okay, Lin Yi, you're right! I didn't think about it! Well, what about you?! What will you do if you become a head disciple??!”
“I will take over the whole world! First the Central Plains, then the entire demon territory! Since you're so interested, let me tell you what my plans are. As the chief disciple, I will teach everyone in Huashan the sword formation, the power of which I demonstrated in Hangzhou. Starting with those who have no inner strength, including those who have reached the second grade. On the battlefield they will not be cannon fodder, but soldiers capable of defending themselves and their comrades! Everyone will become the main hero on the battlefield!”
“I will measure the contributions of all Huashan disciples with my point system, so that all hundreds of thousands of our people have a chance to obtain higher techniques and advance further! I will change their future! I will let you know that Hua has not forgotten about them, and that even those expelled from the mountain they can climb to its top!”
“This is what I will do, Linghu Feng. What would you do? Helped yourself and your people? Do you call this the act of a righteous man? If so, then some demons are better than you! You are merciless to those who made you you! To those who gave you a carefree life! To those hundreds of thousands of Huashan disciples who made you stand here!”
Lin Yi's words were deafening, they reached every corner of the mountain top.This was the first person who dared to contradict Linghu Feng, and in front of everyone!
There was complete silence. True disciples and even great elders could not say a word. Ouyang Ming himself looked surprised - although he silently signed almost every word.
Only a few seconds later the first whispers appeared.
“Big brother Lin Yi doesn't mince words! Why hasn't Linghu Feng killed him yet??”
“Haha, it was long overdue! Linghu Feng thinks that since he is a genius, he achieved everything on his own? And who taught him? Who donated the equipment? Isn't it Huashan??”
“That's right, Huashan belongs to us, her disciples, not to the elders' families.!”
“We need to support older brother Lin Yi!”
“That's for sure, he is the best, we will have a future with him! And if Linghu Feng becomes the leader, then what will happen to us? I'm not from his family, so I won't hope for any good.!”
“Support Big Brother Lin! He is the honored leader of the Five Mountain Swords! With him we will surpass Shaolin and Wudang, everything will belong to us!”
“Listen, it seems like he really thought through his plans well! Apparently Senior Brother Lin never doubted that he would become the head disciple! Haha, I love it! While for others it’s just a dream, he set a goal and has no doubt that he will achieve it!”
“Let Linghu Feng step out of the ring!”
“Yes, let him come down! Linghu Feng away! Linghu Feng away!”
Suddenly the same words sounded throughout the mountain:
“Linghu Feng away! Linghu Feng away! Linghu Feng away!”
“You are not fit to be the head disciple! Go away, Linghu Feng! Give the title to someone who deserves it!”
“Yes, don't be shy, come down! Not everyone makes a good leader!”
“We don't need you in charge! Come down!”
Those who supported him did not even dare to speak in such a crowd. They were afraid that the crowd would bury them.
After all, their faction was a minority; they were simply able to win over many to their side. But Linghu Feng proved that he was unworthy - or Lin proved that he was worthy. One of them persuaded the crowd.
The elders looked around with contempt. No one thought that the duel, according to all traditions, would turn into such a farce. Involuntarily, glances focused on the great elders, whose eyes sparkled with admiration.
The great elders of the Yu Clan were bathed in ecstasy. After looking around, they also supported the crowd.
Only the great elders of the Linghu clan grew gloomy before their eyes. Their hands were clenched into fists, and blue veins appeared on their necks. Nobody expected this to happen.
Who would have thought that before the battle began, Lin Yi would destroy their champion's confidence??
Okay, if he was just insulting, but he hit the target with every word. He didn't care about the insults themselves, only their essence!
One could only hate him for taking all the glory for himself wherever he goes!
With such support, which elder could say anything against? Moreover, the Sect Master himself looked at him with admiration!
But the worst thing was that the Sect Master was going to make the winner his personal disciple! Then no one will stop Lin And at all!
“Big Brother Lin! We want Lin Yi to be our big brother!”
Almost all the true disciples shouted as if reciting a mantra:
“Big brother! Big brother!”
Lin Yi waved his hand and the mountain shook with applause. The impulse was very strong!
Lin Yi himself was not too surprised. Most of those gathered were still quite young, and had spent their best years in captivity, so their blood was fresh and hot.
Not to mention that everyone wanted the good of Huashan. Even the elders, it’s just that family came first for them.
Everyone has seen Lin Yi's achievements. The most run-down branch in his hands turned into a second Huashan. This accomplishment practically awarded him a divine halo. Therefore, now that he reminded him of this, and Linghu Feng could not find a word, everyone’s blood began to boil.
Looking at his opponent with a cold smile, he asked loudly:
“Do you see? Can you hear? They all support me! Everyone wants you to leave the arena! Linghu Feng, what are you doing here? Do you really love your comrades so much that you would harm Huashan for their sake? You won't rest until the sect is destroyed, yeah?”
Linghu Feng immediately changed his face and exclaimed:
“This is not true! I mean no harm to Huashan!”
“Yes? Then why don't you retreat? You want to become the main disciple only for yourself and by doing so you will harm Huashan! No need to take up space that your butt doesn't fit in! Otherwise, you will do worse than any traitor could! And this is real betrayal!”
Feng's face changed.
Everyone around him was shouting for him to come down. His younger comrades and elders lowered their heads. They all sighed with disappointment.
Feng lowered his shoulders, turned to the crowd, and said in a loud tone:
“I, Linghu Feng, decided to retreat. I will not fight for the title of head disciple. But...”
He turned back and pulled out a blade, pointing it at Lin Yi:
“But I never admitted defeat! I must fight so that those who supported me know that I am fighting for them! Let everyone see that even if I don't become the head disciple, I will still protect them!”
“Fine! Now you acted like a man,” Lin Yi rubbed his hands and laughed, snatching the blade. “You think I just wanted to win with words? No matter how it is! I've been waiting a long time for the chance to fight you! But not for the title of chief student, which you are not sure of and which you do not need. I wanted to fight so that you know that even in strength you can rely on me, your older brother.!”
