Chapter 97: Chapter 97: I Won’t Go Out

“Elder Yan speaks truth. In face of the honor and disgrace of the Sect, we can certainly pardon Fang Lin for his offenses,”

“We hope that our Sect leader will make a wise decision, allowing Fang Lin to serve our Pill Sect again with the burden of his wrongdoings.”

“If it weren’t for Fang Lin, our Pill Sect would have inevitably lost.”

One by one, the elders came forward, arguing that Fang Lin should be allowed to fight. Even the neutral elders held the same attitude.

Only Zhao Dengming and his group stubbornly insisted, obstructing and refusing to let Fang Lin leave the Demon Suppressing Cave early.

The final decision, however, rested in the hands of Gu Daofeng.

If Gu Daofeng ignored these elder’s requests, he insisted not to let Fang Lin enter the battlefield, then no matter how much everyone else said, it would be useless.

Gu Daofeng was silent for a long time, and finally said, “Since you all have such confidence in Fang Lin, I will let him temporarily leave the Demon Suppressing Cave to fight the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect with his guilty status. If he wins, he does not need to return to the Demon Suppressing Cave. If he loses, he will face double punishment.”

At these words, there was a flicker of anger in the hearts of the elders like Mu Yan and Meng Wuyou. Even Yan Zhengfeng, looked unusually displeased.

Zhao Dengming and his group sneered. Although Fang Lin could temporarily leave the Demon Suppressing Cave, he must face an even greater pressure. If he were to lose against the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, it wouldn’t be as simple as being imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Cave for a month. He would then face double punishments. Who knows what kind of punishment Fang Lin would suffer then.

In the Demon Suppressing Cave, Fang Lin sat cross-legged in the stone chamber, quietly practicing.

Although Fang Lin’s practice of the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell required the swallowing of the Pill Cauldron to quickly enhance his realm, normal cultivation could also slightly improve his realm.

Even if it wasn’t much, it was better than doing nothing.

Seeing Fang Lin cultivating, Wang Dalong and the others dared not to speak, afraid to disturb Fang Lin. They could only doze off leaning against the stone walls.

Then, footsteps were heard from outside the stone chamber, which immediately aroused excitement among the people in the other chambers.

Footsteps meant that new people were coming!

However, those with sharp ears noticed that these were the steps of a single person. If new people were coming, they wouldn’t come alone.

Soon, a figure appeared outside the stone chamber where Fang Lin and others were.

Fang Lin opened his eyes, only to see an elder standing outside the stone chamber, looking at him inside with a complex expression.

The next moment, the elder waved his hand, and the light curtain of the stone chamber disappeared. Wang Dalong and the others were confused, not knowing what the elder was going to do.

“Fang Lin, follow me,” the elder said to Fang Lin with a tone of warm kindness. Fang Lin didn’t know why the old man was looking for him, but he didn’t slack off and followed the elder out of the stone chamber.

After Fang Lin left the stone chamber, the light curtain of the stone chamber restored to its original state. Wang Dalong and others watched Fang Lin leave, not knowing what to feel.

The elder brought Fang Lin to the square above. The area was empty and extremely spacious.

“Elder, why did you ask me here?” Fang Lin asked with a salute.

The elder laughed and said, “For you, it’s good news.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin sneered, I am imprisoned here, how could there be any good news?

Seeing Fang Lin’s expression, the elder gave an awkward smile, and stopped beating around the bush, he said directly: “Fang Lin, you don’t know. Our Pill Sect is now facing a challenge from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect and we need to select three disciples to compete with their disciples. Among the lower-ranking disciples, you are our best candidate. As long as you defeat the disciples from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, you don’t have to return to the Demon Suppressing Cave, you can regain your freedom.”

After the elder had finished speaking, Fang Lin comprehended and realized that they wanted him to represent the Pill Sect and compete since they had encountered provocation from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.

However, Fang Lin was very disdainful about this. Initially, they imprisoned me here because of some trivial matter, and now when they face trouble they need me to help?

Don’t even think about it!

Fang Lin is not an obedient fool. Since you, Gu Daofeng, are suppressing me, then you shouldn’t come to me in the face of trouble.

“Elder, in all honesty, I find the Demon Suppressing Cave quite comfortable. Besides, I’ve only been here for half a month, it’s not right to leave midway. So it’s better to find somebody else,” Fang Lin said with a cheerful smile.

Upon hearing his words, the elder’s expression was priceless.

“Fang Lin, what did you say? You’re comfortable living here?” the elder asked with a strange expression.

Fang Lin nodded earnestly.

The corners of the elder’s mouth twitched. This was the first time he had heard someone say that they were comfortable in the Demon Suppressing Cave. Those who came out of the Demon Suppressing Cave would rather die than return there.

However, the elder was not a fool, he quickly reacted. He soon understood that Feng Lin was reluctant to compete, hence the intentional recalcitrance.

Thiking of this, the elder felt a deep sense of injustice. He had always admired Fang Lin and Fang Lin had also made a great contribution to the Pill Sect. However, because of the matter of unauthorized pill sales, they had unjustly imprisoned him in the Demon Suppressing Cave. Now that they encountered a problem, they want Fang Lin to represent the Sect. When he thought about it, he felt an icy chill in his heart.

Anyone who encountered this kind of thing would probably be somewhat emotional. Moreover, Fang Lin was a talented and exceptional individual. Naturally, his temper was bigger than the average person’s temper. This kind of reaction is reasonable. If he didn’t have any reactions, that would have been strange!

However, the elder’s task was to persuade Fang Lin to compete for the sect, not to sympathize with him. The elder said: “Fang Lin, your competing is a decided matter by the Sect and the elders. It is also a good chance for you to redeem yourself. You must not let your temper take the better of you.”

Fang Lin shook his head and laughed, “Elder, you are wrong. Since I have made a mistake and have been sentenced to be imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Cave for a month, I must stay for a month. If I leave midway, wouldn’t that be breaking the rules? I, Fang Lin, cannot be the one who breaks the rules. I will honestly stay in the Demon Suppressing Cave. As for affairs outside, I will not meddle.”

The elder sighed bitterly and said, “Fang Lin, don’t make it difficult for me.

You really are the most suitable candidate among the lower-ranking disciples. If you do not compete, I’m afraid some people will take the opportunity to deal with you ruthlessly.”

At these words, Fang Lin looked deeply at the elder.

The elder was right. If Fang Lin really didn’t compete, then Zhao Dengming and his group could use this matter against him, and Gu Daofeng would certainly acquiesce with their intentions, charge him with the crime of disobedience, and then he would be in a difficult position.

In truth, Fang Lin’s previous words were just expressing his grievances, he was in fact willing to leave the Demon Suppressing Cave.

“Elder, I can fight for the Pill Sect, but whoever put me in here should come and ask me to go out. This request is not too much, is it?” Fang Lin said with a smirk..
