Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

Qin Fei's words undoubtedly made Shang Wu's pupils shrink sharply. He did not expect that Qin Fei would threaten him at this time.

How could he possibly know that once the sect leader saw that his position had been taken away, he would be the one punished?

It should be noted that this conference was organized entirely by Elder Shangwu. If the sect leader arrives and his seat is taken by someone else, Shangwu, as the person primarily responsible, will undoubtedly be the one who receives the heaviest punishment.

"Sir, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Are you feeling the pressure?" Qin Fei asked again at that moment.

At this moment, Shang Wu just wanted to slap Qin Fei to death, because he was making things incredibly difficult for him.

However, Qin Fei's current status was unusual, so he dared not do anything to Qin Fei. Therefore, he could only tremble slightly before forcing a smile that was more like a grimace: "Young master, I misspoke before. Now, could you move your seat?"

"This apology doesn't seem sincere enough," Qin Fei said, picking at his ear.

"Then what do you want?" Shang Wu was already suppressing his anger.

"A verbal apology doesn't really mean much. I think you might as well do something practical, like throwing elixirs or crystals at me." Qin Fei stopped pretending altogether.

Qin Fei could have simply taken it by force, but he spoke in a conciliatory tone, leaving Shang Wu with nowhere to vent his anger.

What's worse, at that moment an elder rushed in and said, "Everyone, get up quickly, the sect leader and the others have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Shangwu felt a surge of anger instantly rise to his eyebrows.

If the sect leader sees Qin Fei sitting here, he's definitely doomed.

So at this moment, he didn't care whether Qin Fei was robbing him or not. He took out a spatial ring and handed it to Qin Fei, and whispered to him, "There are quite a few spiritual herbs and crystals in here. Please get up quickly."

His tone even carried a hint of pleading.

"Thank you very much in advance."

Although Qin Fei hadn't yet checked what was inside the spatial ring, he didn't want to completely offend the Grand Elder of the Divine Martial Sect, so he decided to stop while he was ahead and quietly stood up.

Just as Qin Fei had vacated his seat, Liang Xia led several elderly men with white hair to the entrance of the council hall.

If the Liu family is going to wage war against their Divine Martial Sect, then Liang Xia will definitely gather all the resources of the Divine Martial Sect to discuss this important matter.

The elderly men around him were all once renowned figures, representing the strong foundation of the Divine Martial Sect.

"See the sect master!"

Shang Wu and the others had already bowed and kowtowed.

Qin Fei was not a member of the Divine Martial Sect, so he neither cupped his hands nor bowed, making him stand out from the crowd.

However, given Qin Fei's personality, he couldn't possibly bow to Liang Xia. He had been captured by the other party in the first place, and before things were clear, who knew whether the other party was friend or foe? Therefore, Qin Fei couldn't possibly bow to him.

"Shangwu, is everyone here?" Liang Xia asked.

"The vast majority have already arrived, with only three remaining."

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the council hall, followed by two middle-aged men and a burly man running over, their foreheads covered in sweat.

One of the three men was the burly man whose weapon was taken by Qin Fei, who was also the original owner of the Burning World Furnace. The other two were the Third Elder's former right-hand men.

Because the three of them had caused the Divine Martial Sect to lose face here, when Shangwu and the others arrived, the three of them were immediately sent to build a base outside.

As a result, we were a little slow in getting back.

"Sect Master, we are late, please punish us." One of the elders immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

But Liang Xia had no time to deal with them at this moment. He said directly, "Since you're here, let's discuss countermeasures first."

The Liu family only gave the Divine Martial Sect one hour, and within that hour, the Divine Martial Sect had to determine the final plan and execute it!

As everyone took their seats, Liang Xia also focused her attention on Qin Fei.

"I think many of you here now understand why we are holding this conference. I think you have all seen the situation outside. The Liu family is gathering powerful figures and preparing to launch an attack on our Divine Martial Sect. So we must be prepared to fight!"

Feeling uncomfortable under Liang Xia's gaze, Qin Fei thought to himself, "You say you'll fight, so I'll fight. Why are you staring at me like that?"

“The Divine Martial Sect has grown up on fire and bones. We don’t want to cause trouble, but we are absolutely not afraid of anyone. If the Liu family wants to wage war against us, then we will accept it.” At this point, Liang Xia paused for a moment before continuing, “However, there is a question that I think you all are very concerned about right now, which is why we have a conflict with the Liu family, and even a major war that is about to break out.”

"The Holy Maiden came to me before and said that she didn't know why she was fighting or why she was fighting. Isn't this the same question in everyone's mind?" Liang Xia finally turned her gaze away from Qin Fei.

"Yes!"

This time, the vast majority of people present agreed.

Indeed, some people fight for freedom, and some fight for their beliefs, but if their Divine Martial Sect were to start a war with the Liu family in such a muddled way, many people would probably be completely bewildered.

"Before answering this question, let me first talk about the history of our Divine Martial Sect."

Liang Xia's voice suddenly became long and drawn out as he began to recall a past event: "The Divine Martial Sect was established about three thousand years ago. At that time, I was just an unknown nobody. The Divine Martial Sect was like a makeshift organization. Apart from me, there was no other official member. There was only one slave that I bought. Everyone here joined later."

"After a long period of development, our Divine Martial Sect has gradually improved, and the number of members has gradually increased. However, everyone should know that the essence of the rise of a power is to take food from the mouths of others. You can imagine how much resistance and trouble there will be."

"We can handle most problems ourselves, and the sect's development has been smooth sailing. About two thousand years ago, just when our Divine Martial Sect was about to cross the social hierarchy and become a top-tier power, we encountered our greatest obstacle."

"The major top-tier forces collectively put pressure on us, preventing us from completing our final transformation. I think many of you are familiar with the inside story of what happened at the time, so I won't go into details. But there is one thing I must mention: when we were facing pressure and on the verge of collapse, a mysterious person led a group to shield us from this external pressure."

"And this person's identity should still be a mystery to you."

“Originally, I also intended to keep this secret, but now that the Liu family is going to make a move against our Divine Martial Sect, I think it’s time for me to reveal the mystery to you.”

After saying that, Liang Xia turned her gaze to Qin Fei.

"You don't know what the upcoming battle is for, but I'll tell you now: we're fighting for him!" Liang Xia pointed at Qin Fei.

"Could he be that mysterious person?"

"Isn't this possible?"

Based on what Liang Xia had just said, many people present couldn't help but change their expressions.

However, they quickly realized what was happening, and some of the quicker-witted ones had already guessed the identity of the mysterious person.

"Sect Master, is that mysterious person who helped us achieve rank advancement the God of Wine?"

"So he's Qin Fei's master?" Shang Wu, the Grand Elder of the Divine Martial Sect, finally put his wisdom to use.

Upon hearing this, many people present looked enlightened.

They didn't understand why the sect leader insisted on protecting Qin Fei at all costs before, but now it all makes sense.

As the personal disciple of the God of Wine, Qin Fei is now being targeted by outsiders. If the Divine Martial Sect does nothing, how can they repay the God of Wine for his help in the past?

As the most precious treasure of the Divine Martial Sect, Liang Xia said he didn't want the Evergreen Lamp, but now that I think about it, he must have intended to give it to Qin Fei.

“Now that everyone understands what’s going on, I think you should also understand why you’re fighting!” Liang Xia said.

It was with the help of the God of Wine that the Divine Martial Sect rose to become a top-tier power and gained recognition from all sides.

Now that the disciple of the god of wine is in trouble, it is their duty to help!

"Sect Master, since the God of Wine helped our Divine Martial Sect back then, why did he try to steal our things earlier?"

"They even killed someone and stole the Evergreen Lamp?" Just then, the Third Elder's former right-hand man posed this soul-searching question.

Indeed, someone who once helped their sect a great deal wouldn't do such a thing, would they?

Isn't this a bit contradictory?

Upon hearing this, Liang Xia immediately flew into a rage: "Can't you use your brain and think about what you've done before you question others?"

"I have investigated the whole story. You were the ones who were rude first, and even though you were in the wrong, you still thought about seeking revenge. So it was only right for Senior Dionysus to rob and kill you!"

"How dare you ask me these questions now?"

Liang Xia's tone was so cold that the elder who asked the question turned pale on the spot.

Perhaps he didn't expect the sect leader to be so furious about this.

"That's right, Senior Wine God is trying to set things right for our sect. Why are you making a fuss here?"

"Do you still think that Senior Dionysus really intends to harm us?" Shang Wu also rebuked.

"I……."

The repeated reprimands left the Shenwu Sect elder with a face full of grievances. If he had known earlier that Qin Fei and his disciples had such a connection with their Shenwu Sect, how could they have possibly attacked Qin Fei?

Without knowing anything about it, they were completely unfairly blamed.

He is now suffering in silence.

“Some things you say should be kept to yourself, so as not to cause any more trouble.” Liang Xia ended the topic with a single sentence, slamming his hand on the table and saying, “That’s the situation, so everyone should know why we’re fighting, right?”

"Now, what do you want to say?"

“Since the Liu family wants to capture the disciple of the God of Wine, then our Divine Martial Sect should do everything in our power!” someone began to express their opinion.

"Yes, we have to take action!"

A crowd began to chime in.
