Chapter 457: Another Conflict
“Looking for me? What happened?”
Victor and Feng Lian pushed the door open and entered together. The other four battle generals had already been waiting here for a long time.
“Ha, Phoenix General is really a busy man. There are so many people waiting for you.”
At the right time, Long Yi opened his mouth to ridicule Victor, especially when he emphasized the word “Phoenix General”. He was obviously mocking Victor.
Regarding this, Victor naturally would not do as he wished and immediately retorted back.
“Do you think I’m like you? Do nothing and have no accomplishments? I have my own matters to attend to.”
In the first round of confrontation, Victor obviously had the upper hand. He found his seat and sat down, continuing, “Feng Lian, you called us here at such a time. What’s the matter?”
“Feng… Lian…”
Hearing Victor’s somewhat ambiguous address, Feng Lian’s cheeks turned slightly red, and her pearly white teeth bit her red lips lightly. She looked very tempting.
Seeing this scene, Long Yi was so angry that his teeth were itching.
He had pursued Feng Lian for so many years, but the latter had never responded. How long had Victor been here? It was no wonder Long Yi was jealous since things had already developed to this stage.
“Cough cough…”
Feng Lian quickly noticed that she had lost her composure and coughed lightly… She then opened her mouth and said, “It’s like this. Lord Gongye Yuyu has ordered our Demon Slaying Division to be in charge of the Xiao family’s safety during their mission to capture the remnant soul. Although this matter has always been handed over to the Monolith Altar, since Lord Gongye Yuyu has asked us to do it, he naturally has his reasons. Today, I want to discuss with everyone the details of this matter.”
“Wait! Altar master, this matter should not be handed over to our Demon Slaying Division!” Long Yi slammed the table and stood up abruptly, rejecting Feng Lian’s suggestion.
“Flood Dragon General, wait for a moment. This is Lord Gongye Yuyu’s order.”
“So what? Ever since the beginning, our Demon Slaying Division’s mission is to kill demonic beasts. Moreover, the funds we receive every year were spent on this. This matter should be done by whoever is in charge! Lord Altar Master, in the end, you and Lord Gongye Yuyu are on the same level. There’s no need to be so humble, right?”
“I…”
Faced with Long Yi’s questioning, Feng Lian was a little speechless.
Indeed, she and Gongye Yuyu were both altar masters. Logically speaking, there was no hierarchy, but what was Gongye Yuyu’s status? He was someone who had essentially formed the Central Plains Sect Alliance. To be on par with him was a little arrogant.
Seeing that Feng Lian had nothing to say, Victor opened his mouth to save the situation.
“Does the Flood Dragon General mean that Lord Gongye Yu’s judgment is wrong?”
“Of course not!”
“Then what are you talking about? Since Lord Gongye Yuyu’s judgment is right, why should Lord Feng Lian reject it? Also, who do you think you are to decide the nature of the Demon Slaying Division? Feng Lian was speaking! Are we allowed to speak? Long Yi, don’t forget, if it weren’t for Feng Lian, you wouldn’t even have the right to sit here and spout nonsense!
“If you have the ability, go and speak to Lord Gongye Yuyu yourself. Don’t make things difficult for Feng Lian.”
“I… I’m only stating a fact! In the end, as a battle general, you actually called the altar master by her name. Are you rebelling?”
“Shut the f*ck up, don’t try to frame me. I can call her whatever I want, do I need your say on this? If you say one more word, don’t be surprised if I chop you alive!”
Victor suddenly stood up, his enormous imposing manner fully revealed, suppressing everyone!
“Let me tell you, Long Yi, the present is different from the past. As long as I’m here, you’ll shut your mouth obediently! If I allow you to speak, you can express your own opinions. However, I don’t allow it, who do you think you are?
“If you ask me, it is because some people are too weak. We’re both battle generals of the same rank. Though you, a trash, were so pressured that you didn’t even dare to breathe. But now, I’m here. If I were to act like a dragon or a tiger, you’ll have to submit to me. If you dare annoy me, I’ll kill you!”
“Zhang Er! You are courting death!”
“Enough! All of you shut your mouths!”
Just when Long Yi was about to explode, Feng Lian finally spoke. The strength of her nascent soul realm cultivation was superior to the rest of the generals, and she firmly suppressed Long Yi and Victor.
“This is Lord Gongye Yuyu’s mission. Flood Dragon General, if you have any dissatisfaction, please go to Lord Gongye Yuyu yourself to express your dissatisfaction.”
“Lord, I don’t have any.”
“It’s best if you don’t have it. And you, Phoenix General… Phoenix General.”
“I’m here.”
“It is, your subordinate is here!”
Feng Lian pouted, and her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. She was very cute.
“Yes, your subordinate is here.”
“In the conference hall, you are not allowed to call me by my first name. Also, you are not allowed to scold others, and you are not allowed to slam the table!”
“Got it, Feng Lian.”
Victor waved his hand carelessly and sat on his seat, his gaze never leaving Long Yi.
“I’ll kill you sooner or later!”
“And you are not allowed to threaten the other generals!”
“Tsk, got it.”
Seeing Victor compromise, Feng Lian heaved a sigh of relief. She sighed and continued, “In short, we have to accept this mission. So, I plan to discuss it with you. Do you have any good ideas about this matter?”
“What else can we do? Let’s go then. Lord Gongye Yuyu’s order can not be refused.”
“Moreover, in the eyes of some people who are short-sighted, this is a tough task. But don’t forget, this is related to the Xiao family. If the enemy really attacks and we managed to suppress them, we will earn great merit!”
“Don’t make oblique accusations!”
“F*ck! Feng Lian, do you have to target me like this!”
“I don’t care. You’re not allowed to!”
“Alright, alright. In short, we have to do this, and we have to do it well. This matter is related to whether the Demon Slaying Division’s position in the thirteen altars can be improved.”
“I think so too, but after all, you and the Ape General are rookies, so the investigation work at the periphery can only be left to the three generals, Tiger General, Barbarian General, and Flood Dragon General.”
This was not Feng Lian being biased. In the past, it was the old who helped the rookies. There was nothing wrong with this.
However, if this was really the case, wouldn’t Victor’s plan fail? Therefore, he immediately retorted, “Lord, I think that those who are capable will take the lead. Everyone present, if I were to say that I’m the strongest, no one will retort, right? Long Yi, stop f*cking whining over there. If you’re not satisfied, go out and train!” Victor glared at Long Yi, he turned around and continued, “Of course, I’m not saying this to belittle you. I just want to say that, although I am a newcomer, isn’t it a waste for me to stay at the rear with my capability?”
“That being said, the Golden Crow Army is still new. You don’t have much cooperation with them yet. What if a strong enemy does attack us..”
“Even if a strong enemy does attack us, the Golden Crow Army will not be of any use. The generals are the ones who will play the decisive role. Therefore, I believe that General Long Yi and I should be in charge of the periphery. Although that son of a b*tch is annoying, I have to say that his capability is second only to me. It will be safer if he is in charge.”
