Laughing at the Heavens: From Flying Knife Skills to Shattering the Void

Chapter 187 The leader’s authority cannot be challenged!

"Alliance leader, since you are now the leader of the martial arts world, why don't you keep Dongfang Bubai?"

Someone suddenly asked.

This made everyone stunned, and then they all looked at Lin Pingan.

Different thoughts.

After all, this is indeed a good opportunity.

"Leave?"

Lin Pingan sneered and said playfully, "Why, do you want to treat her to a meal?"

"Master, what do you mean by this?"

Zhen Shanzi immediately showed his shame and anger, "You know what I mean, Dongfang Bubai is the leader of the Demon Cult, we should take this opportunity to eliminate the trouble forever!"

"Us or me?"

Lin Pingan said calmly: "Or can you get rid of her?"

"This this……"

Zhen Shanzi looked embarrassed, "Of course it's you, the leader. You are the leader of the martial arts world, and your strength can compete with that Dongfang Bubai, so naturally you should deal with her."

Zhenshanzi said as a matter of course.

"Ah……"

Lin Pingan sneered, "Since I am the one dealing with her, then when to deal with her is my business, and it is not your turn to make decisions. Since you are willing to worship me as the leader of the martial arts world, then I will give the orders on what to do. If you just want to use my strength to fight against Dongfang Bubai, then I may not be better than Dongfang Bubai."

Lin Ping'an's words were calm and peaceful, yet they were full of threats.

This made many people's faces change and become ugly.

"Lin Ping'an, what do you mean?"

Zhen Shanzi showed a look of shame and anger, and immediately shouted: "Although we accept you as the leader of the alliance, it does not mean that we can have your final say and obey you. Are you threatening us with this?"

"Do you still want to learn the devil's way of saying those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish?"

Zhenshanzi stood up and shouted loudly.

At the same time, looking around, many people stood up and echoed.

"Master Zhenshanzi is right. We are a righteous sect, not a demonic sect. Although you have been elected as the leader, you should also seek our opinions!"

Taoist Songwen immediately agreed.

Many people also agree.

They need a martial arts leader to help them bear the pressure from Dongfang Bubai.

But they do not want this leader to have the same power as Dongfang Bubai to oppress them.

What they hope more is that the leader is just a tool, responsible only for dealing with Dongfang Bubai, and they have the final say on other matters.

The reason for choosing Lin Ping'an, in addition to his strength, was actually because he was young, alone and powerless in the underworld, had no connections, and was easier to control.

Huashan also has a sparse population, and cannot provide any help or snatch the position that belongs to them.

Therefore, even if Lin Ping'an becomes the leader of the martial arts world, he will become a puppet invisibly.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing these remarks, Lin Pingan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan and others also looked angry.

Yue Lingshan, in particular, could not restrain herself at all. "You have gone too far. Before, you begged Junior Brother Lin to be the leader of the alliance. Now that Dongfang Bubai has been defeated, you want to cross the river and destroy the bridge. You want Junior Brother Lin to be a statue, a statue that only resists lightning for you!"

"Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We naturally respect the leader, but we are the righteous people, and we should consult with each other to decide things, not just one person."

Zhen Shanzi glanced at Yue Lingshan sinisterly and said with a chuckle.

"Zhenshanzi, Ping'an is too young and not suitable for a high position like the leader of the martial arts world. I think we should just forgo this matter."

Ning Zhongze suddenly spoke and looked at Fang Zheng and Chongxu.

These two people are not famous martial arts masters, and their decisions are more important than other people's opinions.

"This……"

Chongxu and Fangzheng frowned and said nothing.

At this time, Zhen Shanzi continued, "Miss Ning, Dongfang Bubai has already determined that Lin Ping'an is the leader of the martial arts world. Even if you withdraw now, it will not change anything."

Zhen Shanzi felt somewhat proud.

Dongfang Bubai’s arrival was somewhat unexpected, but the effect was better.

This will make Dongfang Bubai completely identify Lin Pingan as the leader. As for how they proceed later, Dongfang Bubai probably won't care.

bass!
But before he finished his words, a flying knife had already pierced into the pillar next to him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Shanzi suddenly screamed, and one of his hands was nailed to the pillar by the flying knife, and blood dripped from the wound.

"Lin Ping'an, what are you doing?"

This sudden knife attack made everyone's face change drastically.

Taoist Song Wen shouted even more sternly.

Even Fangzheng and Chongxu frowned and looked unhappy.

"I just want to tell you that it's not only Dongfang Bubai's flying needles that can kill people, my flying knives can do the same."

Lin Pingan put his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"Lin Ping'an, do you dare?"

Hearing this, many people looked angry.

They could tolerate Dongfang Bubai's presumptuousness because he would really kill people, but they would not allow Lin Ping'an to be presumptuous because Lin Ping'an was a righteous person and should be bound by etiquette and laws.

But now, Lin Ping'an actually took direct action and interrupted their fantasies, which made everyone feel embarrassed.

Of course, there is also fear.

"What am I afraid of?"

Lin Pingan sneered, "Most of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan died under my sword. I, Lin Pingan, recognize that you are the leaders of various sects and are famous in the martial arts world, but my sword does not recognize you. I, Lin Pingan, am not made of clay and cannot be easily used by you."

"Since you have accepted me as the leader of the martial arts world, then the rules will naturally be set by me. If anyone resists or disobeys my orders, then don't blame me for being merciless with my sword."

Since he has become the leader of the martial arts world and helped them resist lightning and fight against Dongfang Bubai, now these people want to use him and get rid of him. There is no such good thing in the world.

If these people really succeeded, people in the underworld would think that Lin Ping'an was made of clay and could be bullied by anyone.

Therefore, Lin Ping'an's face was grim and his words were indifferent, but he left no room for doubt.

"Lin Ping'an, are you going to use some magic tricks?"

Taoist Songwen shouted tremblingly.

At this time, others suddenly thought of Lin Ping'an's deeds.

Lin Pingan has never been someone who can be easily manipulated.

This was a man who almost destroyed the Songshan Sword Sect and completely exterminated the Qingcheng Sword Sect, and whose hands were stained with the blood of many masters.

Many of them are much stronger in martial arts than the leaders of various sects present.

He was able to fight against Zuo Lengchan's pursuit, and finally defeated Zuo Lengchan, forcing Zuo Lengchan to surrender.

It is indeed a bit far-fetched for them to want to control such a person with the help of etiquette and laws.

In Lin Ping'an's previous actions, he never cared about etiquette, nor did he care whether others would use this as an excuse to attack him.

Therefore, when Lin Pingan made his move decisively, everyone immediately shut up. After looking around, Lin Pingan continued, "If anyone has any objections, they can speak up now. If you don't have any objections, but still want to express your dissatisfaction in secret afterwards, then don't blame Lin's knife for not recognizing people."

"The next shot will not hit my palm, but your throat!"

Lin Ping'an's eyes swept over Zhen Shanzi coldly.

Zhen Shanzi's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to say a word at this moment.

Because he felt a chill running through his bones, if he continued to say anything, the other party might really take his life.

Although he felt that Lin Ping'an would not dare to be so unscrupulous, he did not dare to use his own life to test whether Lin Ping'an dared to do so.

After all, Lin Ping'an is the only one who can truly fight Dongfang Bubai head-on without losing.

The world is ruled by strength.

If etiquette and laws cannot control the other party, then the other party's strength is enough to command everything.

"I wonder what countermeasures the leader has now!"

After a long time, Jie Feng broke the silence first and asked respectfully.

Lin Ping'an has proven his strength and also revealed his strong character.

Therefore, as long as you don’t want to die, you won’t continue to oppose it.

Originally, most people just followed the crowd and didn't think of opposing Lin Pingan.

It's just a few people like Zhen Shanzi who are instigating.

For most people, it doesn't matter who is the leader.

"No matter what hatred Ren Woxing has with Dongfang Bubai, Ren Woxing is the previous leader of the Demon Cult after all. His Star Absorbing Technique is also a huge threat to our righteous path, so we must find this person."

Lin Pingan made a decision quickly. "Now notify all factions to keep an eye on Ren Woxing's whereabouts in the martial arts world, especially to find out where someone's internal energy has been drained. Maybe we can find clues to Ren Woxing's whereabouts from them."

"Alliance leader is wise. We will arrange for an investigation as soon as we return."

Jie Feng nodded solemnly.

Although the Beggars' Sect today is not as powerful as it was hundreds of years ago when it was the largest gang in the world, it still should not be underestimated.

"We are also willing to obey the orders of the leader."

As Jie Feng agreed, others immediately rushed to respond.

Only Zhen Shanzi of Kunlun Sect and Song Wen Taoist of Emei Sect looked embarrassed, but they reluctantly lowered their heads to show their agreement.

"Humph."

Lin Ping'an glanced at the two of them, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.

Because there is no need to say more to such people.

After Lin Ping'an displayed his overwhelming strength and strong character, those who had doubts and small thoughts about him now all restrained themselves and became obedient.

At least that's the case in front of Lin Pingan.

Fang Zheng and Chongxu looked at each other, a hint of worry in their eyes.

"Master Fang Zheng, this Lin Ping'an doesn't look easy to get along with. He is decisive and domineering. Now that he has become the leader of the martial arts world, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

Chongxu said to Fang Zheng worriedly.

"It's too late to say anything now. We chose this person ourselves. It's impossible to refuse now. However, I see that this boy still respects Lady Ning. If he really encounters any problems, perhaps he can ask Lady Ning for advice."

Fang Zheng also silently transmitted the message.

The two communicated secretly for a while and reached a consensus.

At least for now, Lin Ping'an has not done anything excessive, nor has he done anything that violates the principles of righteousness.

Naturally, they had no reason to say anything.

Soon, Shaolin began to serve vegetarian meals.

Lin Ping'an also made arrangements for the next steps, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

Ren Woxing, who was hiding in the crowd, naturally saw everything with his own eyes.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Xiang Wentian said worriedly, "Master, what should we do now? If the righteous people start looking for us, they might find us at any time."

Although Xiang Wentian thought that the place he found was very hidden, it could not withstand close scrutiny.

There are so many people on the righteous path, who knows what kind of talented people are hidden.

Maybe someone can find it.

Moreover, if both the good and evil forces are investigating them, it would be like the whole world is investigating them, and it would be impossible for them to hide forever.

"I'm not a street rat. If you want to find me, you have to be prepared to sacrifice your life."

Ren Woxing sneered.

Most of these people in the righteous path are hypocrites who only care about their own interests and do not have such a noble spirit of dedication. How could they really go looking for it sincerely at the order of Lin Ping'an?

If he were to find it, he might die, but the one who would benefit would be his own sect leader, and it would have nothing to do with him.

In that case, it’s better to just do a good job on the surface.

Although Lin Ping'an is now the leader of the martial arts world and is powerful enough, most people only submit to him on the surface and don't know what they think secretly.

Ren Woxing can see clearly the nature of the people in the underworld.

What's more, Lin Ping'an is too young. How could so many older people in the world accept it completely?

However, none of them were Lin Ping'an's match, and with the pressure from Dongfang Bubai, they had no choice but to choose Lin Ping'an.

Being young is a good thing, but sometimes being too young is not necessarily a good thing.

Without a solid foundation and enough background, no one will speak for you and people will even envy you.

After all, you have reached a high position at such a young age, so don't we old seniors seem useless and wasteful?

How should we, the old veterans who have worked hard for decades to gain our current status in the industry, deal with ourselves?

Therefore, although it seems that the righteous path has a leader in the martial arts world and has integrated all major sects and forces and can mobilize them in a unified manner, in fact, the core is still a group of scattered sand, each fighting on their own and having their own thoughts.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Even those martial arts masters and seniors who have a good reputation and have made great achievements in the world, all have their own thoughts and it is impossible for them to truly make selfless contributions.

That's why Ren Woxing was so calm and composed.

"Master, do you want to tell Lin Pingan to revoke this order?"

But Xiang Wentian obviously couldn't think that far, and his face was still full of worry.

"I should see him, but not for this."

Ren Woxing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed and said.

"What's that for?"

Xiang Wentian looked bewildered.

"Of course, congratulations to him for becoming the leader of the martial arts world. From now on, he will be the number one person in the righteous path!"

Ren Woxing smiled and said, "As his father-in-law, do you think I should personally congratulate him?"

Xiang Wentian suddenly realized and said quickly, "Of course."

"If the righteous people and Dongfang Bubai knew that the leader of the martial arts world was actually your son-in-law, they would surely be shocked."

Xiang Wentian also said with a smile.

If this matter were to be exposed, it would definitely shock the entire underworld.
