Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Chapter 3483 - Do You Dare to Swear?

“Nice to meet you too, Elder Ling Chen,” Leng Xiaoyao responded.

Next, Li Mochan recounted the incident from yesterday to Ling Chen.

At first, Li Mochan barely noticed those two individuals, but since they had name-dropped Ling Chen the day before, he offhandedly brought it up to him today. Still, Ling Chen's expression turned furious upon learning the details.

“They won’t drop it and will definitely seek revenge, yet they realize they can’t match you, so they’ve likely informed Ling Feng that we’re in cahoots and urged him to step in. If so, Ling Feng could have trailed me by the time I emerged,” Ling Chen explained. He held no grudge against Li Mochen for it. From what he knew of them, he fully expected they’d run to Ling Feng.

“I’ve erected a barrier, so even if he shows up, he won’t locate us,” Li Mochan replied. He had misjudged those two golden core cultivators.

“Regardless, he already suspects me. So if he discovers the truth, it changes nothing. I’ve prepared everything needed and stand ready to act anytime,” Ling Chen declared. As a contender for sect leader, Ling Chen burned with ambition.

Upon claiming the role of sect leader, he’d command the sect’s vast resources, securing plenty for himself too.

Though the sect leader bore heavy duties, not every matter demanded their personal attention. The sect operated through specialized departments, with heads managing daily affairs. Only critical matters reached the sect leader’s desk.

During a sect leader’s secluded cultivation, the elders would convene and decide on the sect’s behalf.

Thus, even as sect leader, ample time for personal cultivation remained.

“Then let’s head straight to Tiancheng Sect today as your distinguished guests!” Li Mochan proposed with excitement. He yearned for vengeance right away.

Slaying Ling Feng would prove simple for him, but he refused to strike openly. He craved a public confession of crimes, allowing the fallen disciples to find solace.

Their strategy aimed to deter Ling Feng’s allies from uprising and hold them at bay.

“Very well.” Ling Chen consented.

With their plans settled, Li Mochen dispelled the barrier and led Leng Yan and the others alongside Ling Chen to Tiancheng Sect.

Unable to spot Ling Chen in Tianshui Town, Ling Feng retreated to Tiancheng Sect to avoid tipping him off about the tail.

Before long, a report arrived: Elder Ling Chen had arrived at Tiancheng Sect with a band of golden core cultivators. Ling Feng rushed over to investigate.

Spotting merely golden core cultivators escorted by Ling Chen, he relaxed his defenses at once. He’d clearly overthought the situation this time.

He dismissed them and turned to depart.

Yet the instant he spun around, an overwhelming pressure bore down from behind. Glancing back, he locked eyes with the supposed golden core cultivator and rage ignited within him.

That man was no golden core cultivator—he was an out-of-body lord!

He’d underestimated the threat after all. Ling Chen had indeed allied with powerhouses to target him.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Ling Feng demanded furiously. Ling Chen made no move to halt him, revealing their motives plainly.

“Merely ensuring you linger a bit longer,” Li Mochen stated coolly, though resentment simmered against Ling Feng.

“Humph! Keep me here longer?” Ling Feng scoffed icily. The man’s hostility was unmistakable. “What’s your aim in detaining me?”

“I wish to spar with you,” Li Mochen declared. Though composed on the surface, hatred churned inside him toward Ling Feng.

“An out-of-body lord like you challenging a Yuan Ying immortal like me? Isn’t this blatant bullying?” Ling Feng retorted coldly, then eyed Ling Chen. “Elder Ling Chen, have you fetched an outsider to claim the throne?”

Crowds surged forward, drawn by the pressure, catching Ling Feng’s accusation by chance.

Though the pressure brushed them, its effect stayed mild since they weren’t the focus.

“Ling Chen, what’s your game?” the eldest elder bellowed in anger.

The eldest elder backed Ling Feng and had joined the assault on the prior sect leader, thus favoring Ling Feng’s protection.

“Nothing much. This cultivator friend seeks vengeance, so let them settle it themselves,” Ling Chen replied.

Ling Feng jolted in shock. Was revenge truly the motive?

Ling Feng knew he’d made countless enemies, so a revenge seeker wasn’t far-fetched, yet he sensed deeper layers.

“What grudge exists between me and this cultivator friend?” Ling Feng inquired.

“Ling Yin,” Li Mochen uttered tonelessly.

At that name, Ling Feng and the eldest elder flared with anger. They hadn’t anticipated this man’s vendetta over Ling Yin.

The remaining elders and disciples reeled in astonishment.

Some had long suspected Ling Feng’s hand in Ling Yin’s demise, lacking proof. Time had buried the doubts.

Ling Yin had vanished abruptly back then, leaving no trace across Guiyun, so the perpetrator stayed unknown.

Now a stranger appeared demanding answers, implicating Ling Feng in Ling Yin’s end!

“How does that concern me?” Ling Feng denied vehemently.

“Your clone carried it out. How can you claim no involvement?” Li Mochen sneered. “Besides, I’m Ling Yin’s clone. I know exactly who struck him down.”

“What?”

Shock rippled through the crowd. This man was the former sect leader’s clone?

And Ling Feng’s clone had led the attack on the former sect leader.

No wonder his alibi held firm!

“Care to explain yourself?” Li Mochen pressed.

“You’re slandering me! I never struck the former sect leader. Who knows what enemies he made to bring that upon himself.” Ling Feng refused to confess. Even as Ling Yin’s clone, Li Mochen couldn’t fabricate freely.

“Then swear to it,” Li Mochen challenged.

Ling Feng paled instantly. He hadn’t foreseen Li Mochen demanding an oath.

Daring to swear was beyond him.

“Humph! Who are you to command me?” Ling Feng snapped.

“Refusing the oath proves your guilt, while I’ll swear without hesitation,” Li Mochen countered. Then he swore: “I, Li Mochen, vow that if Ling Feng’s clone didn’t lead others to disrupt Ling Yin’s breakthrough, causing his destruction, may heavenly thunder strike me down.”
