"Old Zhou, what happened?"

Seeing Zhou Yang's expression, Qin Tian knew trouble was coming.

"Chu Lingfeng ran away, he left the Qilin Mountain Sect!" Zhou Yang said.

"If he's gone, he's gone. Let him pray he doesn't meet me again, or else..."

"Boss, the key is that Chu Lingfeng stole something when he left!"

"Huh?"

"He took two one-star upper-grade secret manuals from the Book Collection Pavilion! And he also took this month's monthly salary of the Main Vein disciples!"

These words from Zhou Yang made Qin Tian's face stiffen.

Not only did he leave, but he also looted on his way out. This Chu Lingfeng is ruthless!

"What's the extent of the loss?" Qin Tian asked with a frown.

"The estimated loss is significant... But that's not the main issue. The most important thing is that Chu Lingfeng daringly played us like this, clearly someone is helping him in the shadows!"

Zhou Yang analyzed carefully, "We definitely can't find any evidence, but we have to show an attitude in resolving this matter. Otherwise, with this breach opened, the hard-earned prestige you've built up will vanish."

Qin Tian didn't need Zhou Yang to spell it out to know who was behind Chu Lingfeng.

However, as Zhou Yang said, it's practically impossible to track those people down now. The most important thing is to bring Chu Lingfeng back to justice and establish authority!

"Have Qiao Yongyan personally organize a capture team, at all costs, bring Chu Lingfeng back. If there's resistance, kill without mercy!"

Qin Tian thought for a moment and said.

Chu Lingfeng was Ning Qingyun and Wang Yang's man, and Qiao Yongyan, who had been extremely capable, had been suppressed by Ning Qingyun, Zhang Fulin, and Wang Yang for over a decade.

Now Qiao Yongyan, being heavily used under Qin Tian, had a chance to capture an old rival. Qin Tian knew he would give it his all.

"Haha, what a coincidence?"

As Qin Tian and Zhou Yang reached the Main Vein square, from a distance, they saw Xie Yunzhen and Ma Changqing coming towards them.

These two seemed to be in good spirits.

"What brings you to the Main Vein?" Zhou Yang's expression turned serious.

"Get lost! When the master speaks, what business does a dog like you have? Get to the side!"

As soon as Zhou Yang spoke, Ma Changqing immediately cursed!

"Get lost! When the Sect Leader speaks, what business does a small Elder like you have, get to the side!"

When Zhou Yang was embarrassed, Qin Tian mimicked Ma Changqing's tone and retorted.

"You..."

Ma Changqing was so angered by Qin Tian's words that his face turned blue and was about to react, but Xie Yunzhen stopped him.

Xie Yunzhen said, "Sect Leader Qin, we came to tell you that at the beginning of next month, it'll be the Elder Council; don't forget to attend at the Elder Council residence. You have ten days."

Xie Yunzhen seemed calm, "As the new Sect Leader, you must report to the Elder Council, don't be absent. Otherwise, bear the consequences. See you then."

After saying this, Xie Yunzhen left, with Ma Changqing, now looking much better, following behind, giving Qin Tian a vicious look.

"Looks like they are on the move again." Zhou Yang said, "The Elder Council, I heard the people of the Elder Council are formidable, even the Sect Leader has to give way. It seems Xie Yunzhen and the others plan to bring those old guys from the Elder Council against us."

"They really know how to stir things up. Since you want to play, I'll play along to the end!"

Qin Tian grinned, "Let's go to the Left Pulse. My master knows a lot about the Elder Council. I'm curious to know how terrifying those old monsters truly are!"

The two of them headed straight to the Left Pulse and entered its gate, seeing from afar that Qiao Zheng was leading Qiao Wenxuan and others chopping wood in the square!

Seeing this scene, Qin Tian was stunned!

What was most excessive was that four new disciples had been recruited by the Left Pulse. Those four were practicing swordsmanship on the side, while Qiao Wenxuan and the original Left Pulse disciples were all chopping wood!

Typical discrimination, targeted!

Seeing this, especially seeing Qiao Wenxuan and Qiao Zheng drenched in sweat, Qin Tian was almost exploding with anger!

Damn it, could they be any more humiliating?

"Boss, calm down..."

Zhou Yang, knowing Qin Tian well, could tell he was furious just by his posture. He started to persuade, but Qin Tian had already stormed angrily towards the square!

"Sect Leader Qin..." Everyone was startled to see Qin Tian appear.

Qiao Zheng and Qiao Wenxuan also put down their axes, looking at Qin Tian, clearly sensing the fury in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Qiao Zheng asked.

"If I didn't come, would you not have told me you're being humiliated here like this?"

Qin Tian looked at Qiao Zheng, then at Qiao Wenxuan, his face filled with distress?

"Who made you do this? Zhang Fulin?"

Upon Qin Tian's question, everyone went silent.

Besides Zhang Fulin, who else could it be?

"Where is Zhang Fulin?" Qin Tian glanced around and was about to walk further in.

Qiao Zheng hurriedly pulled him back, "Qin Tian, forget it. You just became Sect Leader, it's not wise to offend them..."

"I don't care, anyone who bullies you is bullying me!"

Qin Tian stormed angrily into the hall, just in time to meet Zhang Fulin walking out, facing each other at the stone steps of the hall.

"Oh, Sect Leader Qin, what brings you here?" Zhang Fulin wore a fake smile.

Qin Tian had no patience for such a hypocrite and bellowed, "Zhang Fulin, don't you dare put on an act with me here!"

Pointing at Qiao Zheng and the others, he angrily demanded, "What's going on with them? You made them chop wood?!"

"Sect Leader Qin, I make the decisions for my disciples. How they cultivate is the Left Pulse's business, aren't you overstepping?"

"And my master? Even if he's stepped down as Sect Leader, he should still hold the rank of an Elder!"

"Yes, he is now the Teaching Elder of the Left Pulse, specifically teaching the disciples to practice. So as you see, he's personally teaching them to chop wood, because the Left Pulse disciples were too weak before. The root issue is a lack of foundation, so I let them start practicing from the basics of chopping wood..."

Though it seemed well-reasoned, it was just sophistry, making Qin Tian clench his fists tightly in anger!

This hypocrite, humiliating people and still speaking in such a coherent manner, truly disgusting!

"I'm not going to argue with you; I'm taking them with me. From now on, they are people of the Main Vein."

Qin Tian pointed to Qiao Zheng and the others, his tone domineering and not open to negotiation.

"Haha, even if you are the Sect Leader of the Main Line and the Three Veins, you can't be so unreasonable, right? Sect Leader Qin, you're now the Sect Leader, not a three-year-old child. Please don't act impulsively, consider your position carefully..."

"Damn, you talk too much!"

Qin Tian couldn't stand it any longer and directly asked, "Stop lecturing me, I only ask you: do you agree or disagree!?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fulin smiled faintly:

"Do you think you can show off in front of me? Is this how you oppress your seniors? Heh, since you asked, I'll answer you, I don't agree, don't even think about it. So, are you satisfied with my answer, Sect Leader Qin?"
