Chapter 1141: Chapter 1140: Do You Know Your Cri? Chapter 1141: Chapter 1140: Do You Know Your Cri? Hearing Fang Lin’s words, everyone present was stunned for a mont, and then they ca to a realization.
Indeed, Fang Lin was supposed to participate in the Talent Battle of the Nine Countries, so if he just left for the Seven Seas, wouldn’t that an abandoning his right to compete in the Talent Battle?
The Pill Alliance originally had few participants in the Talent Battle, having even one was sothing, pushing as far as they could was the goal. Forcing Fang Lin to give up his qualification to further participate in the Talent Battle of the Nine Countries in favor of training in the Seven Seas seed like missing the forest for the trees.
After all, whether Fang Lin was present or absent from the Pill Alliance in the Seven Seas wouldn’t make much difference; however, if he continued in the Talent Battle of the Nine Countries, he might bring back an excellent result for the Pill Alliance.
When weighing the two options, the more important one was obvious to anyone who wasn’t foolish.
That senior mber of the Pill Alliance who had recomnded Fang Lin to go to the Seven Seas didn’t look very pleased, as Fang Lin not only used the Talent Battle to decline but also turned the tables by nominating him.
Elder Tianhong nodded and turned to look at that person, “Fang Lin can’t go, but he nominated you, what do you think?”
The man was completely dumbfounded. Was he really asking ? I don’t want to go to the Seven Seas at all, it was Fang Lin who I ant to nominate.
But now that Elder Tianhong asked him this, the man didn’t know how to respond. After mumbling hesitantly for a while, he finally said with a bitter face, “Elder, I have a heavy load of duties and I’m afraid I can’t go to the Seven Seas.”
With that, the man also glared fiercely at Fang Lin.
The crowd barely concealed their chuckles; this guy had truly shot himself in the foot. He wanted to nominate Fang Lin to go to the Seven Seas and failed, and now he was the one being roped in instead.
Elder Tianhong looked at the man with no expression on his face and said flatly, “If you are busy, the tasks can be handed over to soone else. I think you are very suitable for going to the Seven Seas to advance your career, so it’s settled then.”
As soon as Elder Tianhong finished speaking, the man’s expression was indescribably priceless, while the others were struggling to hold back laughter, eager to burst out laughing.
“Elder, Elder…” The man wanted to say sothing, but it was too late, as Elder Tianhong turned his head away, no longer paying him any attention.
The man was close to tears, filled with regret. If he had known it would backfire on him, he would never have taken the initiative to nominate Fang Lin.
And now, Fang Lin was not going to the Seven Seas, but he himself was.
Fang Lin sat down gracefully, with a hint of a smile on his face, and even deliberately glanced at the man.
“All right, we have enough people for the Seven Seas; let’s move on to another matter,” said Elder Tianhong.
Many peoples’ expressions changed, knowing that the matter of the Seven Seas might not be the primary focus of this eting. What they were about to discuss next was the real issue.
From the group of the Poison Pill Master, a gloomy-looking elder stood up, saluted Elder Tianhong with a fist and then said, “I wish to accuse soone before you, Elder.”
“Oh? Whom do you want to accuse?” asked Elder Tianhong.
The man in black imdiately looked at Fang Lin, pointed a bony finger at him and said coldly, “I wish to question Lord Fang, why did you massacre the Pill Refiners of the ng Kingdom?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent, and all eyes were fixed on Fang Lin.
A massacre of ng Kingdom’s Pill Refiners? Was there really such an incident? If Fang Lin had truly committed this act, it wasn’t a minor accusation. Even as a Master of Pill, a Hall Master, he would face severe punishnt.
After all, slaughtering Pill Refiners is an act that, no matter when it happens or who does it, will inevitably provoke the wrath of heaven and the resentnt of people.
Even if Fang Lin had the backing of Elder Tiankui, if this matter were to be verified as true, then it essentially spelled the end for Fang Lin.
Many high-ranking mbers of the Pill Alliance from Elder Tiankui’s faction looked worried. Although they did not quite believe Fang Lin would do such a thing, the way that old Poison Pill Master was questioning them now, it seed likely they were in for trouble.
Elder Tianhong had yet to speak when another high-ranking mber of the Pill Alliance stood up, “Elder, I also wish to question Lord Fang. Why did he slaughter the Pill Refiners of ng Kingdom?”
This ti, it was soone from Elder Tiangang’s faction who spoke.
With two people consecutively standing out to question Fang Lin about the slaughter of ng Kingdom’s Pill Refiners, it caused so high-ranking mbers of the Pill Alliance who were unaware of the situation to furrow their brows in confusion.
“You say I slaughtered Pill Refiners from ng Kingdom? That’s utterly nonsensical. When have I ever slaughtered Pill Refiners from ng Kingdom?” Fang Lin replied with a calm face, even managing a slight smile as he retorted.
The man in black snorted, “On the third day of the eleventh month last year, you and Dugu Nian forced your way into the capital of ng Kingdom and killed all the Pill Refiners present. The royal family of ng Kingdom witnessed it, how can you still quibble?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin imdiately smiled. So this old fellow was referring to the incident where he had indeed killed many a Poison Pill Master in ng Kingdom.
At the ti, Fang Lin had indeed committed the deed without any second thoughts, killing as he pleased. He had thought it wouldn’t provoke any issues, but it seed now that such a trivial matter had been seized by those with ulterior motives to cause trouble for him at the high-level eting of the Pill Alliance.
“Such a heinous act is truly beyond belief. May I ask Lord Fang, have you indeed committed this deed?” the man in black said with anger in his voice.
Everyone’s eyes were on Fang Lin, waiting for his response.
Elder Tianhong also frowned, “Fang Lin, is what he said true? Did you slaughter Pill Refiners in ng Kingdom?”
Fang Lin smiled slightly, “Without hiding anything from the Elder, it is indeed true.”
Fang Lin’s admission imdiately caused an uproar; many people stood up, pointing fingers and vehently criticising Fang Lin.
It seed as though these individuals were just waiting for Fang Lin to confess, eager to jump out and trample him down, sending Fang Lin into an irrecoverable downfall.
Even the high-ranking mbers of the Pill Alliance inclined to speak out for Fang Lin were at a complete loss for words; if you admit it yourself, how are we supposed to defend you?
Even if you really did it, you shouldn’t have admitted so readily. Isn’t this reducing the room for maneuvering?
So looked at Fang Lin strangely, thinking that he couldn’t be so foolish to make such a grave mistake at this ti.
A group of Poison Pill Masters sneered repeatedly, holding in their hands Fang Lin’s greatest incrimination. They weren’t afraid of how Fang Lin might turn the tables anymore.
Even with the support of Elder Tiankui, Fang Lin was dood this ti, unable to reverse the situation. Even if Elder Tiankui intervened, he could at best offer Fang Lin slight protection, not absolve him of his cris.
The problem lay in the fact that if Fang Lin’s cri was confird, it would be too grave; a mber of the Pill Alliance who had slaughtered Pill Refiners – if he were soone without any backing, he would have been executed already.
“Fang Lin, are you aware of your cri?” the man in black pointed at Fang Lin, speaking forcefully.
