Xuan Sheng naturally noticed the change in atmosphere.
He frowned slightly, surveying his surroundings, and asked, "What is it? Do you have any objections?"
The powerful figures of Xuanyue Island looked at each other.
Finally, a guest elder at the peak of the Condensing Core realm stepped forward, bowed to Xuan Sheng, and said, "We dare not have opinions about the Island Master, it's just..."
The man paused.
Then, two sharp gazes fell directly on Ling Fan.
He pointed at Ling Fan dismissively and said, "How can a mere junior in the Giant Spirit realm be appointed as a guest elder, to stand as an equal with us who have faced life and death together? I am not convinced! Not only am I not convinced, but I believe others will not be convinced either."
As soon as this man finished speaking.
A chorus of agreement erupted.
"Well said! What is this fellow? Just a good-for-nothing, a mere Giant Spirit realm cultivator is common on Xuanyue Island. How can such a person hold a high position as a guest elder? Won't this make the world laugh at Xuanyue Island!"
"Island Master, please reconsider! Xuanyue Island is, after all, a seven-star martial force, holding a place in the prosperous Eastern Lin Domain. How can we allow such a joke!"
"You good-for-nothing, how dare you sit there? Get out of Xuanyue Island! Xuanyue Island does not welcome good-for-nothings!"
For a time, everyone's voices rose, all targeting Ling Fan.
The guest elder raised his voice again and said in a deep tone, "If the Island Master insists on appointing this person as a guest elder, we have nothing more to say. We will simply leave Xuanyue Island and seek our fortunes elsewhere! In any case, I will absolutely not work with such a young brat. I cannot afford to lose face!"
"Heh heh, Brother Cai speaks well. What Brother Cai says is what I want to say too. If such trash is truly appointed as a guest elder, I will immediately resign my guest elder status and leave Xuanyue Island!"
Another guest elder from Xuanyue Island said coldly.
"Count me in! What's the point of being a guest elder of such low caliber."
"Pah, I quit too."
"You Xuanyue Island can play with this good-for-nothing. We won't accompany you."
In an instant, as many as twenty to thirty guest elders vehemently expressed their stance.
Ling Fan stays.
They leave.
This resolute attitude immediately made the powerful figures and geniuses of Xuanyue Island feel the gravity of the situation.
They all began to persuade, "Island Master, please quickly retract your order. To ostracize all guest elders for such a good-for-nothing is to cut off one of Xuanyue Island's arms."
"Island Master, can you not distinguish between what is important and what is not?"
Many powerful figures of Xuanyue Island also exerted pressure.
For a time, the Xuanyue Island Master's brow furrowed deeply.
He had not expected that Ling Fan's matter would cause such a fierce reaction.
Just as he was considering whether to change his mind.
Xuan Na stepped forward.
Her graceful and enchanting figure immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Xuan Na said, "Esteemed guest elders are mistaken, and greatly mistaken!"
The guest elders sneered, "Second Miss, what are you talking about? We are mistaken? Heh heh, how are we mistaken!"
Xuan Na said, "Young Master Ling is not only not a good-for-nothing, but an unparalleled monstrous prodigy! A few days ago, I was set up by people from Giant Whale City and trapped in the Xuanyue Sea. My Sun Moon Scepter was even seized by a Golden Core realm Martial Lord from Giant Whale City. It was Young Master Ling who stepped forward. With one slap, he terrified that Martial Lord from Giant Whale City, forcing him to flee in disarray. I witnessed this event with my own eyes. Is there any falsehood in it!"
"Heh heh, Second Miss, do you think we will believe what you say?"
"A Giant Spirit realm cultivator, two major realms apart, can slap a Golden Core Martial Lord in the face? This is utterly absurd!"
"Second Miss, let me ask you, do you think an ant can defeat a giant dragon?"
"Heh heh, this story is too far-fetched! Do you take us for three-year-old children."
The guest elders scoffed sarcastically.
"Why don't you believe it!"
Xuan Na became anxious.
If possible, she truly wished she could drag that Golden Core realm Martial Lord from Giant Whale City here for a confrontation.
"Oh, stop arguing! If something can be settled with action, why argue!"
Wei Bin suddenly spoke.
He said with a sly smile.
He looked like someone who enjoyed watching a good show and didn't fear making things worse.
Toad also fanned the flames, saying, "You blind fools who don't recognize talent, what do you know? You are not qualified to stand as equals with our Boss Ling, do you know that!"
"You trash, good-for-nothings, dregs, all of you combined are not enough for our Boss Ling to deal with. Do you know how powerful our Boss Ling is? Let me put it this way, not targeting anyone specifically, I just want to say that in front of Ling Zun, you are all trash."
Toad stood upright, hands on its hips, pointing a claw at all the guest elders of Xuanyue Island, classifying every single one of them as trash.
This arrogance was utterly extreme.
These words, spoken from Toad's mouth.
Immediately ignited the anger in the hearts of all the guest elders and other powerful figures of Xuanyue Island.
"Outrageous!"
"Simply too arrogant!"
"Damn it, I want to see what extraordinary abilities this Giant Spirit realm good-for-nothing has to dare to look down on us!"
"This infuriates me! I originally disdained to deal with a trash like you, but now I can't stand it!"
"What the hell are you, a good-for-nothing who can defy heaven! I can crush you with one finger. Come out and fight!"
"Grass, get out here and die!"
"Today, I'll let you know the might of Xuanyue Island!"
"Today, if I don't beat this kid so badly that his mother doesn't recognize him, I'm not human."
In an instant, the crowd became extremely agitated.
Wei Bin silently gave Toad a thumbs-up.
Damn.
Amazing, Mo Ye.
The way he fanned the flames, it exploded!
Now there would be a good show to watch.
Xuan Na was dumbfounded.
She wished she could sew Toad's mouth shut.
What was wrong with this guy?
Wasn't things chaotic enough?
Xuan Sheng also did not expect that Toad's words would cause the situation to spiral out of control.
"Calm down, everyone, calm down! Young Master Ling is truly a peerless prodigy. You will suffer if you rashly provoke him!"
Xuan Na hurriedly advised.
Her well-intentioned advice, however, only made the guest elders and Xuanyue Island powerhouses even more agitated.
They all jumped and vied to teach Ling Fan a lesson.
At this moment.
A gloomy voice rang out.
Li Mobing stepped forward, his eyes burning with jealousy first looked at Xuan Na, then fixed on Ling Fan.
"Second Miss defends and praises this person so much. I, Li, want to see what kind of ability this good-for-nothing has to earn such favor from Second Miss!"
"It's him, it's that quasi-Golden Core realm guest elder Li Mobing!"
"My goodness, he's personally entering the fray. A quasi-Golden Core against a mere Giant Spirit realm cultivator, won't it be a crushing victory in minutes! That kid is dead for sure now."
"Who on Xuanyue Island doesn't know that Guest Elder Li is Second Miss's most fervent admirer? Tsk tsk, the more Second Miss defends that good-for-nothing, the faster that kid will die!"
"I pity that good-for-nothing now."
"This is the consequence of not having the virtue to match the position. Who told him not to know his limits and retreat early."
Everyone began to discuss.
"You, get out here."
Li Mobing looked down his chin, his eyes peering contemptuously at Ling Fan from the slits.
