Huang Qing raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet for now.
He looked at Hu Jianshan and Zhou Kang who were kneeling below.
"You two, get up."
"yes!"
Hu Jianshan and Zhou Kang stood up tremblingly.
"Since you have done nothing wrong, are not the masterminds, and have a deep friendship with each other, I will not punish you two."
Huang Qing said lightly.
Hu Jianshan and Zhou Kang did not show any joy, but showed great fear.
"Great Elder, please don't punish Junior Brother Lin, let us share some of the punishment!" ??
"Yes, Great Elder, Junior Brother Lin is too young and energetic. As senior brothers, we failed to persuade him properly. We are also to blame!"
Hu Jianshan and Zhou Kangshang rushed to plead for mercy and share the blame for Lin Chen.
This made Huang Qingdu very pleased.
I thought that I had underestimated these two disciples in the past, as they could be so considerate of their fellow disciples.
In today's world, it is really rare.
How much friendship can there be between those so-called classmates nowadays?
Or just being competitive.
Or it's just intrigue.
I wish I could trample all my classmates under my feet.
Although competition is a good thing, for high-level figures like Huang Qing, they still prefer to see disciples living in harmony and helping each other.
It is more conducive to the unity of Lingxian City!
From Hu Jianshan and Zhou Kang, Huang Qing saw something as precious as camaraderie.
I also appreciate them both more in my heart.
"These two can also be cultivated more in the future."
"When Lin Chen has enough ability to take charge of Lingxian City in the future, these two people will be Lin Chen's right-hand men."
"The future of our Lingxian City must be bright!"
Huang Qing thought secretly in his heart.
"You two don't have to worry about Lin Chen. He is at fault and deserves some punishment. Otherwise, his young and energetic character will not be polished."
Hu Jianshan and Zhou Kang looked at each other.
"Great Elder, if the people from Shenlan Valley come again, they must not hand over Junior Brother Lin."
Huang Qing was amused by what they said.
"Don't worry, Lin Chen is also a proud disciple of Lingxian City. Even if Shen Deng Valley comes to settle the score, he will never hand Lin Chen over to Shen Deng Valley."
"If our Lingxian City cannot protect even one disciple, how can we survive in this Taoist state?"
Hearing this, Hu Jianshan and Zhou Kang showed expressions of relief.
"Thank you, Great Elder!"
They both bowed and saluted.
"You go down, it won't be the same next time."< br>
"yes!"
The two of them immediately exited the Lingxian Hall.
As soon as they walked out of the hall, Hu Jianshan and Zhou Kang looked at each other.
Everyone showed a proud smile.
"It's done!"
Inside the Lingxian Hall.
Huang Qing was discussing with a group of elders how to deal with the Valley of the Divine Lamp.
Although Lingxian City is not afraid of Shenlan Valley, if this rumor really causes Shenlan Valley and Lingxian City to completely break up, it will definitely not be a good thing for Lingxian City.
After all, the impact of the rumors this time was too great.
The dignity of Shendeng Valley, especially the dignity of the valley owner Han Wu, has been completely lost.
How angry would Han Wu be?
It's simply unimaginable.
Even in a fit of anger, it is very possible to start a war between the two major immortal sects.
At that time, it will inevitably lead to the intervention of Qianxian Mansion.
Once the Qianxian Mansion intervenes in this matter, neither party will be able to find a solution, and since Lingxian City is the first to take action, Lingxian City will definitely suffer the greater loss.
Therefore, we must discuss the best way to deal with it.
"Elders, Shenlan Valley will never give up. How should we, Lingxian City, respond?"
Huang Qing looked at the elders.
The elders looked at each other and felt a little worried for a moment.
Because this matter is really not small, and they didn't know that the source of the rumor was in their Lingxian City before. It was too sudden.
No preparation at all.
If this matter had been planned in advance, the situation would be different.
"Great Elder."
A middle-aged man stood up.
"Look, I, Lingxian City, have only one choice, and that is to settle the matter in peace."
"Give Shendeng Valley some compensation as much as possible, and inform the entire Qiandao Prefecture to explain the origins of the rumors."
"Only in this way can the face of Shendeng Valley be saved, and we, Lingxian City, can avoid a complete rift with Shendeng Valley."
Huang Qing nodded, he thought so too.
"What do the other elders think?"
"That's all."
"Yes, after all, it's us who are in the wrong."
"I'm afraid that the Valley of Divine Lamps will take advantage of the situation and the lion will open its mouth."
Basically, the vast majority of the elders agreed with the elder's proposal just now.
"Great Elder, if Shen Leng Valley doesn't want any compensation,
If you insist on letting me, Lingxian City, hand over Lin Chen, what should you do?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present immediately froze.
This is the most unacceptable situation.
Lin Chen is too important to Lingxian City.
He has poured so much effort into Lingxian City and shouldered so many expectations of Lingxian City.
If Lin Chen is handed over, all the hard work of Lingxian City over the years will be in vain.
It will also make the younger generation of Lingxian City unable to compete with other immortal sects.
"It's impossible for Lin Chen to hand it over to the Divine Lamp Valley."
Huang Qing said in a deep voice.
"This is the bottom line of our Lingxian City. There is nothing that can be discussed."
"If Shendeng Valley insists on asking us to hand over Lin Chen"
Huang Qing paused for a moment, looked at everyone, and took a deep breath.
"Then let's start a war."
After saying that, Huang Qing left the Lingxian Hall under the gaze of everyone.
In the spirit pool, Lin Chen was still healing his wounds.
His arms have grown back, but they are not fully grown yet.
At this moment, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the great elder Huang Qing standing outside the spirit pool, looking at him with a frown on his face.
"Great Elder?"
Lin Chen was a little stunned.
"Lin Chen, you let me down so much."
Huang Qing said in a complicated tone.
Lin Chen looked confused.
I have no idea what Huang Qing meant.
"Rumors are spreading all over the world now, all about the Han family in the Divine Lamp Valley. People from the Divine Lamp Valley have just come to the door, saying that you sent people to spread these rumors!"
Huang Qing said sharply.
Lin Chen's expression changed drastically: "Great Elder, me"
"Don't say that this matter has nothing to do with you. I have already asked Hu Jianshan and Zhou Kang. They could not escape punishment, but they tried their best to plead for you and were even willing to take the blame for you!"
Huang Qing sighed as he spoke.
"Lin Chen, Lin Chen, do you know what the consequences of this will be?"
Lin Chen lowered his head and fell into silence.
"well."
Huang Qing didn't blame him any more. Things had already happened. No matter how much he blamed Lin Chen, it would be useless.
"Great Elder."
Lin Chen suddenly spoke.
"I, Lin Chen, am responsible for this matter alone and have nothing to do with Senior Brother Hu and Senior Brother Zhou. Please, Great Elder, please do not punish them."
"you!"
Huang Qing was angry.
"What do you want to bear? Don’t worry? In the near future, Shen Deng Valley will definitely come to you again to ask for an explanation. If then, if Shen Leng Valley wants us to hand you over, what should you do?"
Lin Chen suddenly stood up from the spiritual pool.
"As a disciple of Lingxian City, I, Lin Chen, will not bring trouble to Lingxian City because of the troubles I have caused."
"If Shen Leng Valley really wants to settle the score then, I, Lin Chen, will naturally take responsibility for everything!"
Huang Qing had nothing to say.
Lin Chen's reaction was completely within Huang Qing's expectations.
Lin Chen is Lin Chen!
No matter what happens, it will be difficult to erase his arrogance.
"You continue to heal."
Huang Qing turned around and left. When he walked out of the side hall, Huang Qing paused slightly.
"You are a disciple of Lingxian City. Naturally, I, Lingxian City, will not send you out to settle the matter."
Five days later.
There are many figures arriving outside Lingxian City.
Pei Huan, the great elder of Shendeng Valley.
Han Zongyuan, the master of Shaogu.
Eight elders of Shenlanggeng Valley with golden immortal cultivation.
There is also Qin Nanfeng, a female official of the Qianxian Palace wearing official robes.
And Huikong with a big bald head.
Yes, Huikong is here too this time.
After all, those rumors not only ruined the reputation of Shendeng Valley, but also ruined the reputation of Patriarch Tiezhu.
So Huikong also came to Lingxian City on behalf of Ye Qingyun this time.
"Master Huikong, the towering giant city in front is Lingxian City."
Qin Nanfeng flew beside Huikong and pointed at Lingxian City, which was already in sight not far away.
"Amitabha Buddha is truly majestic and majestic."
Huikong said with a smile.
After saying that, Huikong looked at the others.
"When this person comes, you should consider peace as the most important thing. Everything can be discussed easily. Don't get angry easily."
Everyone nodded, thinking that they were indeed sent by Patriarch Tiezhu, so they could keep their composure.
But at this moment.
Huikong suddenly flew to the front.
The Buddha's light shines all around.
A huge phantom of Buddha suddenly appeared.
A terrifying Buddha palm slammed down directly on Lingxian City.
"How dare you visit the Immortal City! How dare you ruin the name of my Buddhist holy son!"
Huikong roared angrily, like a Vajra with angry eyes.
Everyone was bewildered.
Damn it!
Didn’t you just say that peace is the most important thing?
