Chapter 484: Is There No Justice? Is There No Law?
Song Yuanqing ordered the disciples of the Joyful Union Sect to be brought to the main hall and had someone quickly take Song Xiangyun away. Only then did he respectfully lead the way.
Lin Fengmian followed him and two elders to the hidden treasure vault. It took the combined efforts of Song Yuanqing and the two elders to open the vault.
“You’ve done a good job securing this place. Ordinary thieves wouldn’t stand a chance.”
The self-proclaimed thief, Lin Fengmian, complimented them before swaggering into the vault with Shangguan Qiong in his arms.
Once inside, Lin Fengmian realized that despite being located in a remote and desolate area, the Heavenly Deception Sect’s collection was quite impressive.
Indeed, one should never underestimate anyone.
Even a village chief could be wealthier than a high-ranking official in the city if he was determined.
Lin Fengmian grandly said to Shangguan Qiong, “My beauty, choose whatever you want. I’ll give you three items.”
Shangguan Qiong’s eyes lit up and she said sweetly, “Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Why be so polite? Just make sure you serve me well tonight.”
Lin Fengmian, still remembering how she had pinched him earlier, placed his hand on her plump buttocks and gave them a firm squeeze.
This made her already ample curves even more pronounced, but it also brought tears to her eyes from the pain.
She gritted her teeth and transmitted a message, “Brat, don’t push your luck!”
Lin Fengmian remained unfazed and continued to knead her buttocks, which only further infuriated her.
Lin Fengmian then turned to Elder Ming and You Yao and said, “Elder Ming, You Yao, each of you may choose one item.”
Elder Ming was overjoyed and said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”
You Yao, as aloof as ever, replied indifferently, “No need. I’m just doing my duty.”
Lin Fengmian ignored her. If she didn’t want it, then that was her loss.
Even during their most intimate moments, he had never been one to grovel, let alone now.
He was always the one being fawned over, not the other way around!
Shangguan Qiong, still held in Lin Fengmian’s arms, searched the vast treasure vault for top-grade Spirit Fusion Pills.
However, after a thorough search, she only found one bottle of high-grade Spirit Fusion Pills and frowned.
After receiving her telepathic message, Lin Fengmian asked, “Sect Master Song, don’t you have any top-grade Spirit Fusion Pills in your sect?”
Song Yuanqing forced a dry laugh and said, “Your Highness, how would a small sect like ours have such top-grade pills?”
When Shangguan Qiong saw the bottle of high-grade Spirit Fusion Pills, she didn’t hesitate and said, “Then I’ll take this bottle.”
Song Yuanqing reluctantly removed the protective seal and handed her the bottle of high-grade Spirit Fusion Pills.
Shangguan Qiong transmitted another message to Lin Fengmian, “Brat, no matter what method you use, get me two top-grade Spirit Fusion Pills.”
Lin Fengmian remained silent. In truth, he had three top-grade Spirit Fusion Pills in his possession, which he had obtained from Jun Fengya during a robbery a thousand years ago.
The pills were currently stored in a storage ring inside his stomach, but he hadn’t found the right moment to retrieve them.
You won’t even call me “daddy,” and you want top-grade Spirit Fusion Pills?
Dream on!
The two of them continued to rummage through the vault, taking out a few treasures from time to time, much to Song Yuanqing’s dismay.
These people were bandits! They only took the best!
Soon, Elder Ming selected a pair of armguards, while You Yao suddenly stopped in front of a purple soft scale inner armor and hesitated.
The purple soft scale inner armor was only at the top-grade magical tool level, but it was extremely rare and perfectly suited her ghostly cultivation techniques.
However, having already declined Lin Fengmian’s offer earlier, she found herself in a dilemma.
If she had known about the inner armor earlier, she wouldn’t have refused Lin Fengmian’s offer so quickly.
Shangguan Qiong noticed this and transmitted a message to Lin Fengmian, “This is a good opportunity to win her over.”
Lin Fengmian understood, but pretended not to notice, and continued to pick out treasures, leaving You Yao to stare longingly at the inner armor.
This woman was too arrogant and condescending. She needed to be brought down a peg.
Elder Ming chuckled and said, “Your Highness, what do you think of this inner armor? It seems to be a rare treasure. Why not take it?”
You Yao’s eyes lit up. If the inner armor ended up in Lin Fengmian’s hands, she might still have a chance to get it.
Lin Fengmian scoffed, “This is clearly for women. What use do I have for it? No thanks!”
Elder Ming was speechless and could only laugh embarrassedly.
After all, it was obvious that Shangguan Qiong and the other women of the Joyful Union Sect wouldn’t wear such an inner armor.
The Joyful Union Sect had always believed that the less they wore, the higher their defense would be.
After all, with their revealing outfits, they naturally exuded charm and distraction. Who would dare to strike them with full force?
You Yao snorted and said to Song Yuanqing, “Sect Master Song, I want that inner armor. Name your price!”
Song Yuanqing shook his head. “I’m afraid I have to disappoint you, Fairy. The items in the Heavenly Deception Sect’s treasure vault are not for sale.”
Not only was this a rule, but given Lin Fengmian’s obvious intention to mess with You Yao, Song Yuanqing couldn’t possibly give her the inner armor.
If he further offended that vengeful brat, he’d be in deep trouble.
You Yao grew anxious, but she couldn’t bring herself to lower her pride. She could only stare at Lin Fengmian helplessly.
Lin Fengmian ignored her and quickly picked out ten treasures before walking out of the vault.
Song Yuanqing reset the protective seals inside and then rejoined the group as they returned to the main hall.
The hall was now filled with a group of chattering women – disciples of the Joyful Union Sect who had been captured by the Heavenly Deception Sect. There were over two hundred of them.
These women looked anxious, and many of them were disheveled and pale. When they saw Shangguan Qiong, they burst into tears of relief.
“Sect Master!”
The disciples of the Joyful Union Sect had been tampered with by Zhao Ningzhi, so none of them recognized Lin Fengmian. Even those who had seen him before were only vaguely familiar with him.
Given Lin Fengmian’s current status, they didn’t dare to look at him too closely, and instead concentrated on crying to Shangguan Qiong.
Shangguan Qiong frowned as she noticed that many of the disciples from the Joyful Union Sect were missing. “Where are the others?”
The women wept as they replied, “Sect Master, those sisters were drained of their essence and tortured to death.”
Shangguan Qiong clenched her fists and said to Lin Fengmian in a coquettish tone, “Your Highness, you must seek justice for us.”
Lin Fengmian had already anticipated the fate of these women from the Joyful Union Sect.
After all, beauty often comes with a price!
If the disciples of the Heavenly Deception Sect had fallen into the hands of the Joyful Union Sect, they wouldn’t have fared any better.
Those who live by the sword will die by the sword!
The law of the jungle is an eternal truth.
But Lin Fengmian always sided with his own, not with justice. Besides, now that he had even “eaten” the Joyful Union Sect’s sect master, he was even more inclined to help.
Looking at the tearful Joyful Union Sect disciples, Lin Fengmian feigned heartbreak as he touched them here and there, his face filled with righteous indignation.
“Such beautiful Joyful Union Sect fairies, such graceful figures, how could the Heavenly Deception Sect bear to harm them?”
“They have done nothing wrong. Just because they’re beautiful, you went out of your way to capture and humiliate them.”
“Is there no justice? Is there no law?”
“Sect Master Song, your Heavenly Deception Sect has provoked conflicts and disrupted stability. Today, you must give me an explanation!”
Song Yuanqing was furious. After letting Lin Fengmian take whatever he wanted, the brat now wanted to settle scores?
Weren’t you the one who gave us permission to act in the first place?
Now you’re burning bridges and dumping all the blame on the Heavenly Deception Sect!
