A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 608: The Birth of the Legendary Righteous Sword
Previously on A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World...
Soon, they arrived at the morning court.
Li Feng glanced toward the hall and noticed that the morning session had already begun.
He paused for a moment.
’Hmm, it would probably be better to enter quietly.’
After all, there was no need to attract unnecessary attention.
With that thought, Li Feng casually lowered his presence and tried to slip into the hall unnoticed.
While Han Wei followed closely behind him.
However, just as they were about to enter—
"LI FENG, ENVOY OF THE AZURE MOON SECT, HAS ARRIVED!"
A loud voice suddenly rang throughout the entire hall.
Li Feng’s footsteps froze.
Han Wei’s eyes widened.
And the entire morning court instantly fell silent.
Li Feng slowly turned his head toward the eunuch who had just shouted his arrival.
’...Was that really necessary?’
The eunuch, however, looked completely serious, as if he had just performed his duty perfectly.
Li Feng’s mouth twitched.
So much for being inconspicuous.
But he just smiled.
’Well, whatever. Since everyone already knew I had arrived, there was no point trying to hide anymore.’
He simply straightened his clothes and walked into the morning court confidently.
After all, Li Feng’s skin was quite thick.
A little embarrassment like this was nothing to him.
However, as he walked in, he noticed that many officials were looking at him with strange expressions.
Some of them were even biting their lower lips, as if they were trying to hold back their emotions.
Some even avoided his gaze, as if they were ashamed of themselves.
There was even an old official with a long white beard wiping away his tears with his sleeve.
"???"
Li Feng was confused by their strange reactions.
And soon, he understood why.
As he looked toward the front of the hall, he noticed Fen Ling smiling at him apologetically.
Li Feng blinked.
Why was she looking at him like that?
And what the hell was going on with these officials?
Before he could figure it out, Fen Ling turned toward the court and spoke loudly.
"Envoy Li Feng of the Azure Moon Sect, in concern for the innocent people who may be caught in the upcoming succession war, has declared that no innocent blood shall be shed!"
"..???"
Her voice echoed throughout the hall.
"With the succession war about to begin, countless people may be caught in the conflict, but regardless of which prince they support or which side they stand on, the common people must not be harmed!"
"They are fathers, mothers, children, farmers, merchants, craftsmen, and countless other ordinary people who have nothing to do with the struggle for the throne!"
"They have committed no crime, seek no power, and have no desire to take part in this succession chaos. All they wish for is to live their lives in peace!"
Her voice carried throughout the hall.
Several officials nodded solemnly.
A few of them even clenched their fists.
Fen Ling paused for a moment before continuing.
"The throne may have only one owner, and the princes may fight among themselves to decide who will claim it, but the lives of the people must not become the price of that struggle. "
"No matter who ultimately takes the throne, the people of the Fen Dynasty must not become victims of this succession."
Her voice gradually became firmer.
"No killing shall be permitted within any city or village!"
"This is Envoy Li Feng’s wish!"
She swept her gaze across the court.
"And if anyone dares to ignore his warning and spill the blood of innocent people for the sake of their ambition..."
Her voice suddenly became cold.
"Then all of them had better... prepare for the consequences from Envoy Li!"
The entire morning court fell silent.
For a moment, nobody spoke.
Then—
"Such righteousness..."
One official’s trembling voice suddenly broke the silence.
His eyes were already red.
"To think that even at a time like this, Envoy Li Feng is still thinking about the common people..."
Another official wiped the corner of his eye.
"I have served the Fen Dynasty for thirty years... yet I have never heard such words from someone who had nothing to gain from them."
"Indeed!"
Another official immediately nodded.
"The succession war has not even begun, yet Envoy Li has already thought about protecting the people who will suffer from it."
"Such a broad heart!"
"Such compassion!"
"Such righteousness!"
The comments quickly spread throughout the court.
An elderly official suddenly stepped forward and bowed deeply toward Li Feng.
"Envoy Li Feng!"
His voice trembled with emotion.
"You have my deepest respect!"
At this, Li Feng awkwardly raised his hand.
"Ah..."
But before he could say anything—
Someone suddenly shouted from nearby,
"Truly deserving of the title Righteous Sword
Another voice immediately joined in.
Then another and another.
Soon, the entire morning court was filled with the voices of the officials.
"Righteous Sword!"
"Righteous Sword!"
"RIGHTEOUS SWORD!"
Some officials were wiping away tears.
Some were clenching their fists in excitement.
The elderly official who had praised Li Feng earlier was practically glowing with admiration as he shouted even louder.
A few even looked as though they had just witnessed something sacred.
The atmosphere had completely changed.
A moment ago, this had been a tense morning court where the princes and their supporters were preparing for a fierce succession struggle.
Now, it almost felt like some kind of grand ceremony.
For this brief moment, it was almost as if all the divisions and differences between them had become meaningless.
Their individual interests no longer mattered.
Right now, they were united under a single feeling and a single banner.
The chant grew louder and louder, echoing throughout the entire hall.
"""RIGHTEOUS SWORD LI FENG!"""

Meanwhile, Li Feng stood there in silence, his eyes wide as he blinked in confusion.
Beside him, Han Wei seemed to have been completely swept up by the mood as well.
He joined the rowdy hall and began chanting loudly along with everyone else.
His eyes were shining with excitement, and with his powerful cultivation, his voice boomed even louder than the others.
But Li Feng didn’t seem to care about any of this, because a major question had arisen in his mind.
He slowly glanced down at his own hands.
’...Since when did I use a sword?’
