Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1904: 1898: Qin Feng's Support

Upon hearing the Lion Tiger Sect Leader's declaration, Daoist Liu was immediately consumed by rage.

He pointed at the Sect Leader, berating him as deceitful and untrustworthy.

When Daoist Liu lost his temper, his demeanor became utterly unrestrained, akin to a common ruffian on the streets.

He was a hair's breadth away from spewing vulgarities within the grand hall.

However, due to his esteemed seniority, no one present could dare to reprimand him.

The Lion Tiger Sect Leader, overwhelmed with helplessness, ultimately decided to involve Qin Feng to appease Daoist Liu!

“Uncle-Master, please cease your scolding. I have a proposal. Since you and I cannot reach a consensus, let Elder Qin Feng render the final judgment! If he agrees, so shall I; if he disagrees, will you graciously let this matter rest?” the Sect Leader proposed.

Daoist Liu fell silent, his gaze wandering as if deep in thought.

After a deliberation of five to six seconds, he gave his assent.

“Very well, we shall proceed as you suggest. Have Qin Feng present himself!” Daoist Liu declared.

“Excellent.” A faint smile graced the Sect Leader’s lips upon securing Daoist Liu’s agreement.

He promptly dispatched an elder to summon Qin Feng.

The assembled elders were all visibly delighted.

They harbored the collective belief that the proposition was utterly preposterous, making it highly improbable that Qin Feng would consent.

The idea was simply too absurd.

The notion of an unknown outsider seeking to claim the most significant inheritance of Lion Tiger Mountain was akin to pursuing a fantasy.

Such was the prevailing sentiment among them.

Shortly thereafter, Qin Feng, accompanied by an elder, entered the great hall.

Qin Feng possessed a magnificent physique, crowned with a majestic mane, its golden luminescence bestowing an extraordinary sacred aura upon its entire being.

“Elder Qin Feng!”

The moment Qin Feng materialized, its imposing presence filled the hall, prompting all the elders present to bow in unison, offering their greetings.

Despite Qin Feng’s designation as an elder, its status as the guardian spirit beast of Lion Tiger Mountain commanded immense respect from everyone.

This reverence extended to the Sect Leader and even Daoist Liu, who typically displayed little warmth towards Lion Tiger Mountain.

“Qin Feng, it has been a while. You appear more youthful and robust,” Daoist Liu remarked as he approached.

Qin Feng chuckled, retorting, “Old fellow, you are faring well yourself. Though you may lack cultivation, your aura of agelessness and profound Daoist elegance continues to intensify.”

“Haha, you are too generous with your praise,” Daoist Liu responded, seemingly pleased, before steering the conversation back to the primary issue.

He directly inquired whether Qin Feng deemed the matter feasible.

Upon hearing Daoist Liu’s question, Qin Feng hesitated, its gaze instead drifting towards Chen Yang, who had been standing silently in the hall.

As this was a meeting of Lion Tiger Mountain, Chen Yang, an outsider, was certainly not in a position to voice his opinion.

Nevertheless, as Qin Feng’s eyes met his, he offered a respectful fist clasp, addressing Elder Qin Feng with deference.

Qin Feng was known for its forthrightness and had previously rendered assistance; thus, it merited his respect.

“Elder Qin Feng, this proposal is absolutely unacceptable. While young friend Chen Yang possesses commendable character, this matter carries immense significance and cannot be treated with undue haste.

“I maintain that this responsibility should fall to Chengxuan; no one else is fit to assume it.”

Observing Qin Feng’s continued silence, numerous elders voiced their anxieties once more, engaged in earnest discussion.

Yet, Qin Feng remained unresponsive, its gaze steadfastly fixed upon Chen Yang throughout.

After approximately half a minute, its gaze shifted, and it finally spoke: “I believe this matter is feasible.”

Boom!

Qin Feng’s pronouncement sent shockwaves through nearly everyone present, with the sole exception of Daoist Liu!

How could this possibly be!

“Hahaha! Now, what arguments do you possess? Qin Feng has spoken in favor; can you still object?” Daoist Liu exclaimed in triumph, his laughter echoing heartily.

His joyous laughter reverberated throughout the entire hall.

Following a moment of stunned silence, the elders descended into a flurry of intense debate.

“Elder Qin Feng, how can this be permitted! Chen Yang is an outsider; how can such a transfer of responsibility occur?”

“Elder Qin Feng, I implore you to reconsider; the matter is of paramount importance and cannot be handled with such casualness!”

The elders exhibited a level of anxiety akin to insects trapped on a scorching hot surface.

It seemed as though if this decision were not halted immediately, Lion Tiger Mountain itself would face its demise.

Within the grand hall, amidst the elders’ heated deliberations, the Sect Leader, seated amongst them, was also utterly taken aback.

His intention had been for Qin Feng’s endorsement to exert pressure on Daoist Liu.

He never anticipated that Qin Feng would actually concur! This outcome deviated entirely from his original strategy.

However, having spoken, retracting the words was impossible; he found himself momentarily at a loss for how to proceed!

“Elder Qin Feng, may I inquire as to your reasoning… what are your thoughts on this matter?” the Sect Leader asked, his voice laced with confusion.

Qin Feng cast a glance at the Sect Leader and calmly replied: “Sect Leader, the affairs concerning the Red Cloud lineage are not for us to meddle in excessively. Given that the old man places his trust in this young man, let us entrust it to him.

“I have faith that the old man’s judgment is not flawed.”

Qin Feng offered no further elaboration, merely conveying its confidence in Daoist Liu’s discernment.

“Hehe, Qin Feng, you’re truly the only one with sense on Lion Tiger Mountain. For that reason, I shall regard you with new eyes from this moment onward,” Liu Daoist declared with a touch of smugness, bestowing praise upon Qin Feng.

Qin Feng responded with a slight grin, chuckling softly. “Old fellow, your Red Cloud lineage has been in decline for centuries. Whether it can be revitalized rests on your shoulders. I trust you won’t let your mentor down.”

Upon hearing such words, Liu Daoist’s demeanor turned solemn.

“Rest assured, I am fully aware of this responsibility.”

“As long as you understand,” Qin Feng nodded. He then turned his gaze back to the Sect Leader. “Let us conclude this matter. I will be departing now.”

Without awaiting the Sect Leader’s reply, Qin Feng turned and left promptly.

“Elder Qin Feng, this situation cannot be taken lightly…”

“Could you perhaps reconsider?”

…

The elders of Lion Tiger Mountain still harbored a desire to persuade Qin Feng, but he had already exited the Bronze Great Hall, leaving no opportunity for their pleas.

This left the elders heaving sighs.

“Hehe.” Witnessing their expressions, Liu Daoist let out a chuckle. He then turned to the Sect Leader, remarking, “As you can see, Qin Feng supports my stance. Do you have any further objections?”

The Sect Leader, typically a figure of immense composure, found himself unable to maintain his usual demeanor.

This turn of events was entirely unexpected.

He had never conceived that Qin Feng would actually agree.

The inheritance of a sect was a profound matter, containing immense depth that was not meant for an outsider to grasp. Allowing it would represent a significant loss for Lion Tiger Mountain.

However, faced with the current circumstances, he felt he had no other recourse.

“In that case, let it proceed as you have proposed. Young friend Chen Yang shall accept the inheritance!” the Sect Leader conceded with evident reluctance.

“Sect Leader, this course of action is unacceptable!”

“Brother Sect Leader, please reconsider!”

The elders were clearly distraught and unwilling to accept the decision.

“Enough. Given the current situation, there is no alternative. Dispatch young friend Chen Yang and Uncle Master Liu to the Red Cloud Cave Mansion!” the Sect Leader commanded.

With the Sect Leader’s decree issued, the assembled elders, despite their profound dissatisfaction, were compelled to obey.

“Hehe, you truly know how to lose gracefully, Little Li. I must say, I’ll be viewing you in a new light from this day forward,” Liu Daoist teased, his tone cheeky as he exuded triumph.

The Sect Leader, overwhelmed by helplessness, merely waved his hand in response, offering no further words.

“Let us depart,” Liu Daoist said with a smile, cupping his hands in a gesture of farewell, before exiting the grand hall.

He then proceeded to escort Chen Yang and two accompanying elders towards the ancient cave.
