Capítulo 11: Chapter 11: Public Opinion is like a Knife, Using the Knife to Kill
Great River Sword Sect, Jianghe Hall.
The onlookers gathered, and they thoroughly enjoyed the drama that unfolded.
Zhou Ran had already proven his innocence, but Tang Feng's resentment towards him and the Grand Elder grew even deeper.
However, Tang Feng also knew that Zhou Ran and the Grand Elder would receive some punishment, but it wouldn't be too severe.
But due to these two fools, his daughter had lost her chance to live.
Tang Feng's emotions had gone through several ups and downs in the past two days, and he had reached his breaking point. With tears in his eyes, he sobbed in the Great Hall.
"I was so foolish, truly, I shouldn't have taken out the assets of Spirit Medicine Valley as a reward. Originally, Ruoling could have been saved..."
Through Tang Feng's self-accusing words, everyone realized that Tang Ruoling had been so close to being rescued.
Yesterday, when Tang Feng and Zhang Chi were making plans in Spirit Medicine Valley, Tang Feng suddenly remembered the issue of guarding the Scripture Pavilion.
Preserving a sect's cultivation techniques is of utmost importance. Everything else can be lost, but the scriptures in the pavilion cannot. Hence, the pavilion's security is strict, and thieves might not dare to come.
At that point, Zhang Chi explained that having someone guard the pavilion and wait for the thief was just one of his plans. His real goal was to buy time to safely rescue Tang Ruoling.
Since the thief could easily steal from other sects without leaving any traces, they would be confident enough to take risks.
The thief wouldn't easily give up on the treasures in their hands, so in a short amount of time, they would still be trying to obtain the Mysterious Yin Nine Turns cultivation technique.
This period would have been Zhang Chi's time to save her.
Moreover, Zhang Chi made arrangements and was only one step away from finding clues.
According to Zhang Chi's calculations, under normal circumstances, the thief wouldn't be able to break through the pavilion's defenses in a short time.
If they couldn't get their hands on the technique within a long period, the thief might give up.
Two or three days shouldn't have been a problem, as the thief had moved Tang Ruoling to a safe place and should have had the patience to wait.
Everyone present agreed with Zhang Chi's analysis.
But who could have thought that a self-righteous person would think that the pavilion was too safe and the thief wouldn't dare to make a move, so he purposely took the technique out to lure the thief.
If he could capture the thief, it would be fine, but he didn't even find a trace of the thief, and the technique was lost.
For a while, many people present couldn't help feeling annoyed.
If you wanted to use bait, didn't you know to use a fake as a decoy?
He actually used the real technique as bait!
Many disciples outside the hall were furious and wanted to rush in and punch Zhou Ran, but they didn't dare to do so because of the Grand Elder's authority.
At this moment, they were also quite dissatisfied with the Grand Elder.
Is this the Grand Elder of our Sword Sect?
Incompetent in everything but causing harm.
While despising the Grand Elder's greed and Zhou Ran's stupidity, they also couldn't help but feel indignant for Zhang Chi.
While Zhou Ran was trying to steal Zhang Chi's accomplishments, Zhang Chi was running around tirelessly.
Many people had witnessed how exhausted Zhang Chi was when he returned in the evening and how hurried he was when he left in the morning. In order to save the girl faster, he even broke the rules and used Sword Control, and was fined ten Spirit Stones by the Enforcement Hall.
He left in such a hurry that he didn't even know there was a fire behind him.
Moreover, due to a lack of help, he had to go to Spirit Medicine Valley for support.
The more they thought about it, the more wronged they felt for Zhang Chi.
"If Senior Brother had been leading the Enforcement Hall, how could it have turned out like this?"
"If Senior Brother knew that his plan had actually harmed Miss Tang, he would definitely blame himself."
Only the smart ones could think of this.
At first, when the thief kidnapped Tang Ruoling, they might have just wanted to demand a ransom or use her to blackmail Spirit Medicine Valley.
But now, knowing that Tang Ruoling has a special constitution, the thief went through the trouble of obtaining the Divine Dragon Nine Probes.
If he knew now that he had been tricked, he would definitely be furious and seek mad revenge on Tang Ruoling.
Even if he didn't know that he had been tricked, Tang Ruoling's experience with the Nine Rotations harvesting wouldn't be that much better.
Nine times, that's nine times! Milk puffs can't even describe it.
"Senior Brother is kind-hearted and responsible, but I'm afraid that this will breed demons in his heart."
"Is it so difficult for disciples without a background to stand out? Senior Brother has already tried so hard!"
At this moment, the emotions of the disciples outside Jianghe Hall were very agitated.
There was pity for Tang Feng and Tang Ruoling, injustice for Senior Brother, and also a bit of concern for their own future.
Senior Brother is the role model for everyone, no one has ever spoken for him today, so in the future, they will all become like him.
All kinds of emotions eventually turned into anger towards the Grand Elder and Zhou Ran, and it was not known which brave soul suddenly shouted out, "Old thief Chong Xu, step down! Zhou Ran, get out of the Sword Sect!"
With the first slogan, the emotions of the others were instantly ignited.
"Old thief Chong Xu, step down! Zhou Ran, get out of the Sword Sect!"
The blood of the Sword Sect disciples shocked everyone in Jianghe Hall.
They really dared to shout!
Fearless young calves, all of this was actually within Zhang Chi's expectations.
With a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises.
This is not only metaphorical but also a literal interpretation.
When you hold a sharp weapon, your mind will subconsciously want to cut something.
Even if it's just cutting the air or flowers and grass, the fighting spirit begins to brew in the bones.
Sword Sect disciples practice swords for a long time and are at their most energetic when they are young. If they don't have any blood at this stage, facing injustice, and without people shouting, the Sword Sect is also doomed.
As for borrowing a knife to kill someone, what he borrowed was not Tang Feng, but the anger of the masses.
Jianghe Hall is a meeting hall, and there is no main entrance.
This is a tradition. Disciples cannot enter casually when discussing, but anyone with interest can listen in.
Apart from some secretive matters, secretive matters would not be discussed in Jianghe Hall.
So, the discussions inside the hall could be heard from outside, and the opinions from outside could also be known inside the hall.
Public opinion is like a knife, and the Sect Leader Jiang Qingyun is the swordbearer in Zhang Chi's plan.
The knife is already in hand, and now the question is whether to cut or not!
At this time, Chong Xu's face became increasingly gloomy, while Zhou Ran's face turned pale from fear.
He had not expected that just yesterday, he was still untouchable, overpowering Zhang Chi, daring not to fight him, and waving his hand to command Enforcement Hall disciples.
He was so cool just yesterday, how could he be in such a sorry state today?
Zhou Ran subconsciously looked at his grandfather for help, but at this time, Jiang Qingyun no longer stood in the way, allowing the two to look at each other.
At this moment, Zhou Ran was seeking help pitifully, but all he saw were a pair of cold eyes.
If it weren't for being in Jianghe Hall and having a group of people watching, Chong Xu would have wanted to rush over and strangle Zhou Ran alive.
What an idiot!
He doesn't even have the mind to care about Zhou Ran's affairs now, he just wants to save himself.
He shouldn't lose the position of Grand Elder, after all, his mistake wasn't that big.
It's just plagiarizing the ideas of a junior, can this even count as a big mistake?
Of course, his authority will be affected, and that woman Jiang Qingyun will be arrogant for a while.
But that's all, he is a cultivator in the late stage of the Divine Soul Realm!
Zhang Chi also knew this, so he prepared a combo meal for Chong Xu...
