Hiss!
A series of gasps echoed from all around.
No one had expected such an outcome!
Director Liu swallowed hard, whispering in shock, "It's really not the Curator anymore, he's been directly dismissed!"
It was as if this was all a dream.
In Director Liu's eyes,
Qi Yaohong, the curator of the Ninth District National Martial Arts Hall, was such an unreachable figure.
Yet now, this great figure had fallen before his very eyes.
Under the orders of his superiors, this man was utterly finished.
Qi Yaohong's face was ashen, but he still responded in fear, "Yes, Qi Yaohong pleads guilty!"
The Council Member of the Main Hall said coldly, "Since you plead guilty, then prepare to face immediate execution!"
Instantly, silence fell upon the crowd once more!
Those who had been standing on the courtyard walls, the experts of the National Martial Arts Hall, were so terrified that they jumped down from the walls.
What a joke!
Had they misheard?
What had the Council Member of the Main Hall said?
Immediate execution!?
Qi Yaohong's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the Council Member of the Main Hall with extreme fear, "You, what did you say?!"
"Immediate execution, what? Do you intend to resist?!"
As the Council Member of the Main Hall spoke, his aura erupted. In an instant, the immensely powerful pressure of his aura had already intimidated Qi Yaohong!
Ling Feng glanced sideways at this Council Member of the Main Hall.
However, this person's cultivation was decent, having surpassed the realm of Earthly Immortals, making him a half-step Golden Core.
In the current cultivation world, those who could cultivate a Golden Core were extremely rare!
This fellow, being a Council Member of the Main Hall, possessed greater individual strength than Li Tianjiao.
He was indeed qualified.
No wonder he commanded such authority, even the arrogant Qi Yaohong had directly pleaded guilty upon seeing him.
However, the reason for pleading guilty was that Qi Yaohong was unaware he would face immediate execution. Now that Qi Yaohong knew the truth, he might not accept it!
Indeed, upon hearing the words clearly again, Qi Yaohong's entire being became somewhat frenzied!
"No, why?! Why should I face immediate execution for just a minor mistake?! To kill me?!"
Qi Yaohong roared, appearing as though he wanted to fight to the death.
Qi Yaohong knew very well that he stood no chance against this terrifying Council Member of the Main Hall, but if he fled frantically, there might still be a chance!
Everyone feared death.
No one wanted to die like this.
Therefore, Qi Yaohong had every reason to resist now.
Seeing this, the Council Member of the Main Hall became even more enraged. What a joke!
This was his first time meeting the Head Curator, and Qi Yaohong was already defying his orders. Wouldn't this tell the Head Curator that all of this was due to his own incompetence?
"Are you sure you want to resist? You must know that if this matter is investigated further, you won't be the only one who dies!"
The Council Member of the Main Hall spoke indifferently.
Qi Yaohong's body trembled. This was a threat involving the extermination of his entire clan!
Immediately, Qi Yaohong's eyes widened, filled with furious indignation, "You, you're threatening me? Fine, if you dare to do this, I will also fight you to the death!"
*Slap!*
The moment Qi Yaohong finished speaking.
Suddenly, Ling Feng made his move.
With a single palm strike, he directly slammed Qi Yaohong onto the ground.
That's right, it was just a single palm strike.
Yet, a terrifying handprint appeared on the ground!
A massive handprint!
The entire ground trembled, and everyone's footing became unstable.
When they saw the scene on the ground in horror, some of them wet themselves out of sheer terror.
Qi Yaohong, who had been shouting earlier, now lay on the ground, his bones seemingly scattered, spitting blood from his mouth, and crying out in terror, "No, don't kill me!"
At this moment, only Yang Fei could maintain a semblance of composure!
Even the Council Member of the Main Hall swallowed hard and bowed fearfully to Ling Feng, "This old servant admits his guilt!"
"It has nothing to do with you. Go back, you should know what to do!"
Ling Feng waved his hand indifferently.
The Council Member of the Main Hall couldn't help but tremble at Ling Feng's gesture.
It was precisely because Ling Feng had casually waved his hand like this, and as a result, Qi Yaohong was now lying on the ground, unable to move!
A casual palm strike could cripple Qi Yaohong!
This was the strength of the Head Curator!
It was too terrifying!
"Yes, this old servant understands. Upon returning, I will thoroughly investigate all the curators and leadership of the various branches. If similar problems are found, they will be severely punished!"
The Council Member of the Main Hall repeatedly responded. After speaking, he quickly turned and left!
This white-haired old man appeared mysteriously and left just as swiftly, his figure completely vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Ling Feng, however, remained indifferent, waving his hand towards Yang Fei.
Yang Fei let out a cold laugh, grabbed Qi Yaohong from the ground, and then said to him, "I am about to execute this man named Wang Lizhi. Do you have any objections?"
Qi Yaohong's pupils contracted sharply. With only half his life left, what objections could he possibly have!
Even if he had objections, he could only keep them to himself!
"No, no..."
"Don't kill me, I know I was wrong! I, I... I don't want to die!"
Wang Lizhi screamed in terror!
*Slap!*
Yang Fei struck out with his palm, directly shattering Wang Lizhi's skull.
*Crack!*
A crisp sound echoed, and everyone felt a tremor run through their bodies!
A council member was dead.
And this curator was already half-dead, being held like a dead dog by Yang Fei as he walked out step by step.
No one dared to follow. Only Director Liu, trembling with extreme fear, followed behind Ling Feng, not daring to utter a single extra word!
Upon reaching the doorway, Ling Feng paused slightly and looked back at Director Liu indifferently.
"Your subordinate knows his mistake, your subordinate admits guilt!"
Director Liu quickly spoke to Ling Feng, his current concern was not about admitting mistakes or not.
It was about whether he could keep his life, and for that, he was willing to do anything!
Even stepping down was not an issue.
"Clean up everything here!"
Ling Feng did not seem inclined to punish him, merely giving a calm command.
Then he turned and left!
Director Liu stood stunned on the spot. After watching Ling Feng walk far away, he finally came back to his senses.
He had escaped this calamity so easily?
Escaped so easily?
Director Liu, having regained his senses, repeatedly ordered those around him, "Scoundrels, you useless lot, hurry up and clean up everything here!"
As he spoke, Director Liu saw those on the courtyard walls preparing to slip away quietly!
Director Liu hesitated for a moment, then roared, "You people from the National Martial Arts Hall, all of you stay put! Each of you will be detained for three years. Anyone who dares to defy me, I will invite Mr. Ling back!"
The moment he spoke.
Those who were preparing to flee trembled all over and completely dared not run anymore.
