"What Elder Yan said is absolutely true. What Fang Lin committed before the incident of honor and disgrace can indeed be forgotten."
"I hope the leader will make a wise decision and allow Fang Lin to make further contributions to our Alchemy Sect as a guilty person."
"Without Fang Lin, our Alchemy Sect would definitely lose."
Elders one after another stood up and believed that Fang Lin should be allowed to fight. Even those neutral elders had this attitude.
Only Zhao Dengming and his group were still insisting, despite all kinds of obstacles, unwilling to let Fang Lin leave the Demon Suppressing Cave early.
The final decision-making power still lies in the hands of Gu Daofeng.
If Gu Daofeng ignored the requests of so many elders and insisted not to let Fang Lin fight, then no matter how much everyone said, it would be useless.
Gu Daofeng was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Since you are so optimistic about Fang Lin, I will let him temporarily leave the Demon Suppression Cave and fight against the Wanyao Sect as a sinner. If he wins, he does not need to continue to return to the Demon Suppression Cave. Demon Cave, if he loses, he will be punished for both crimes."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yan, Meng Wuyou and other elders all had a bit of anger in their hearts, and even Yan Zhengfeng had a rare look that was not good-looking.
Zhao Dengming and others sneered. Although Fang Lin could leave the Demon Suppressing Cave for the time being, he was under greater pressure. If he lost the battle with Wanyao Sect, it would be more than just being imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Cave for a month. Well, when the two crimes are punished together, God knows what kind of punishment Fang Lin will receive.
In the Demon Suppression Cave, Fang Lin sat cross-legged in the stone chamber, practicing silently.
Although Fang Lin's practice of Jiuding Tongtian Jue requires swallowing the alchemy cauldron to quickly improve his level, ordinary practice can also make his level slightly better.
Even if it's not much, it's better than nothing, and it's better than sitting around doing nothing.
When Wang Dalong and others saw Fang Lin practicing, they did not dare to speak for fear of disturbing Fang Lin, so they could only lean on the stone wall and take a nap.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the stone room, which immediately made everyone in the stone room excited.
There are footsteps, which means someone new is coming!
However, some people with better hearing heard that it was just the footsteps of one person. If someone new came, it would be impossible for them to come in alone.
Soon, a figure appeared outside the stone room where Fang Lin and others were.
Fang Lin opened his eyes and saw an old man standing outside the stone room, looking at Fang Lin inside the stone room with a complicated expression.
The next moment, the old man waved his hand, and the light curtain in the stone room disappeared. Wang Dalong and others were all confused as monk Zhang Er, not knowing what the elder was going to do.
"Fang Lin, come with me." The old man said to Fang Lin, with some kindness in his tone.
Fang Lin didn't know what the old man wanted to do with him, but he didn't hesitate and followed the old man out of the stone room.
After Fang Lin walked out of the stone room, the light curtain in the stone room returned to its original state. Wang Dalong and others watched Fang Lin leave eagerly, not knowing what to feel in their hearts.
The old man brought Fang Lin to the square. There was no one here, and it was extremely empty at first.
"This elder, why did you ask this disciple to come here?" Fang Lin asked with clasped fists.
The old man smiled and said: "This is a good thing for you."
Hearing this, Fang Lin curled his lips, I'm being imprisoned here now, what good can I do
Seeing Fang Lin's expression, the old man smiled awkwardly, stopped playing riddles, and said directly: "Fang Lin, you don't know something. Our Alchemy Sect is now facing the challenge of Wanyao Sect. We need to select three disciples to compete with Wanyao Sect. The disciples compete, and you are what we think is the most suitable candidate among the inferior disciples. As long as you defeat the disciples of Wanyao Sect, you will not have to return to the Demon Suppressing Cave and you can regain your freedom."
After the old man finished speaking, Fang Lin roughly understood that it was the Dan Sect that was provoked by the Wanyao Sect, so he allowed himself to fight on behalf of the Dan Sect.
However, Fang Lin was very disdainful of this. When he was fine, he would lock himself here because of something big, but when something happened, he would ask me to help
Don’t even think about it!
Fang Lin is not the kind of fool who accepts everything. Since you, Gu Daofeng, want to suppress me, don't come to me now if something happens to you.
"Elder, to be honest, this disciple thinks this Demon Suppression Cave is good and it's very comfortable to live here. Besides, I've only lived here for half a month and I can't leave the Demon Suppression Cave halfway, so I'd better find someone else." Fang Lin said with a smile. .
When the old man heard this, his expression was wonderful.
"Fang Lin, what did you say? You said you feel comfortable living here?" the old man said with a very strange expression.
Fang Lin nodded seriously.
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched. This was the first time he heard someone say that it was comfortable to live in the Demon Suppression Cave. In the past, those who came out of the Demon Suppression Cave were unwilling to go back to the Demon Suppression Cave even to death.
But the old man was not stupid after all, and he quickly realized that Fang Lin was unwilling to fight and said this deliberately.
Thinking of this, the old man felt quite aggrieved. He still admired Fang Lin very much, and Fang Lin also made great contributions to the Alchemy Sect, but he was imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Cave because of such a big deal as privately selling elixirs. , now that something has happened, and he wants Fang Lin to fight on behalf of Danzong, I feel chilling just thinking about it.
Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will probably have some emotions in his heart, not to mention a genius like Fang Lin, who naturally has a bigger temper than ordinary people. It is reasonable to have such a reaction. If he does not have any emotions, then It's called strange.
However, the old man's mission here was to persuade Fang Lin to fight for Danzong, and he was not here to empathize with him. At that moment, the old man said: "Fang Lin, letting you fight is a decision made by the chief and all the elders, and it is also a good opportunity for you to redeem yourself and make meritorious deeds." , but you can’t just act on your own whim.”
Fang Lin shook his head and said with a smile: "The elder's words are wrong. Since I made a mistake and was fined to be imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Cave for a month, I will have to stay for a full month. If I am allowed to leave halfway, wouldn't that be a violation of the rules? I, Fang Lin, can't be the one who breaks the rules, just stay in the Demon Suppressing Cave, and I won't get involved in outside matters."
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "Fang Lin, Fang Lin, please don't make things difficult for me. This competition with Wanyao Sect is very important to our Alchemy Sect. You are indeed the most suitable candidate among the lower-class disciples. If you don’t fight, I’m afraid some people will deal with you without any scruples.”
These words made Fang Lin take a deep look at the old man.
The old man was right. If Fang Lin really didn't go to war, then Zhao Dengming and his group could take advantage of this incident, and Gu Daofeng would definitely follow the wishes of Zhao Dengming and others and punish him for disobedience. If you are guilty, you will feel uncomfortable.
In fact, Fang Lin was just complaining about what he said before, and he was still willing to leave the Demon Suppression Cave.
"Elder, it's okay to let me fight for the Alchemy Sect, but whoever sent me in will invite me out. Isn't this request too much?" Fang Lin said with a half-smile.
