Chapter 138 – A gentleman seeks revenge, time is of the essence
In the corner, at the location of the Blood Fiend Guild.
Lin Jichen stood right in front of them.
He looked at Li Fengwen, smiling warmly.
Initially, Li Fengwen avoided Lin Jichen's gaze, but Lin Jichen kept smiling at him.
It didn't look like they were enemies; it seemed more like they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.
Li Fengwen thought to himself, could this guy be trying to use this opportunity to make peace with me? Bury the hatchet with a smile?
It makes sense. After all, he was just a lone wolf. How could he possibly go up against my big guild?
This kid must be scared and wants to take this chance to reconcile.
Of course, Li Fengwen didn't want to reconcile. He hated Lin Jichen to the core; their affection was deep-rooted.
But given the current situation, this kid was using his position as an excuse. If he didn't agree, the Blood Fiend Guild wouldn't be able to join this Eastern Expedition.
It would be better to pretend to be friendly for now and settle the score after the expedition.
Thinking this, Li Fengwen forced a smile that was uglier than crying and awkwardly laughed, "Hehe..."
The laugh was as dumb and fake as it could get.
In that instant, Lin Jichen's expression changed. The smile that was there a moment ago disappeared instantly.
Lin Jichen glared at him and shouted, "What the hell are you laughing at! Smiling at your superior like that! Disrespectful! You're kicked out of the team!"
Li Fengwen: "...."
Pfft~
The entire crowd of players burst into laughter. Lin Jichen was just too much, haha, so cheeky.
On the other side, the girls from the Moon Shadow Guild were laughing and cheering.
Jiang Luoyu was also amused, her face turning red from laughing.
"This guy, hahaha, President, look at Li Fengwen's face, it's killing me."
Su Wanling laughed the hardest, tears almost coming out.
"I saw it. The Blood Fiend Guild is in for a rough time this time."
Jiang Luoyu looked at Lin Jichen with a smile, finding him to be a very interesting person.
"Lin Jichen, what the hell do you mean!" At this moment, Kuang Xiaoyan stood up angrily.
"Dare to talk to your superior like that? You're kicked out of the team too!" Lin Jichen sneezed.
For a moment, the Blood Fiend Guild was in an uproar.
"All members of the Blood Fiend Guild, kicked out of the team!" Lin Jichen showed no mercy, kicking all the Blood Fiend members out of the Eastern Expedition with a single sentence.
Li Fengwen couldn't hold back anymore. He stood up, gritting his teeth, and said, "Lin Jichen, you're abusing your power for personal revenge! Is this how you lead?"
"Do I need you to teach me how to lead? So what if I'm abusing my power for personal revenge? Haven't you heard of 'a gentleman takes revenge, the sooner the better'?" Lin Jichen said righteously.
Li Fengwen held back his anger and said, "Are you sure you want to be this ruthless?"
"How could I be as ruthless as you? When you sent over a thousand people to surround me, you didn't say you were ruthless? When you said you'd kill me back to the mortal realm and send me back to the novice village, you didn't say you were ruthless?" Lin Jichen mocked.
Li Fengwen was momentarily speechless, knowing that saying anything more would be useless. He directly ran to Ji Chen.
"Your Highness, I want to report Lin Jichen. As a commander, he abuses his power for personal revenge and is utterly irresponsible. Please revoke his command authority!"
Li Fengwen complained, bringing all the Blood Fiend Guild members to back him up.
He thought it was a good plan. The more people, the more it would show that Lin Jichen had caused public outrage, and the more likely he would be punished.
But the Third Prince Ji Chen glanced at Li Fengwen, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Who are you?"
"I am an ordinary disciple of the Top Sky Saber Sect, Li Fengwen," Li Fengwen replied.
"Daring to incite the ignorant, shake the morale, and slander the commander, very well. Guards, take this man into the city, lock him up for seven days, and fine him a thousand Spirit Stones as a warning to others," Ji Chen ordered.
Immediately, Hidden Dragon guards came out to arrest Li Fengwen.
Kuang Xiaoyan and the Blood Fiend disciples naturally wouldn't stand for it. How could they tolerate their leader being taken to jail?
"Dare to resist? Lock them all up for three days! Each fined a hundred Spirit Stones! If they can't pay, lock them up for another three days!"
As soon as Ji Chen finished speaking, thousands of elite soldiers rushed out, surrounding the Blood Fiend members and arresting them one by one.
In the hands of these Hidden Dragon elites, all with Crystal Formation cultivation, the Blood Fiend members were like little chicks, easily subdued, shackled, and taken into the city.
Li Fengwen was so angry he almost spat blood. He turned to look at Lin Jichen, shouting madly, "Lin Jichen, you Fing wait! If I don't kill you, I swear I'm not human!"
Unfortunately, his shouting didn't affect Lin Jichen's mood at all.
"President Li, enjoy your time in jail. When you get out, let's chat about how the prison food tastes."
Lin Jichen teased.
Li Fengwen was so angry he almost spat blood again but could only be escorted into the city to serve his sentence.
The punishment in Tale of Immortal couldn't be avoided by logging off.
If they said seven days, it meant seven days.
The time was calculated based on your online time.
As long as you were online, the time would count. If you logged off, the time would pause and resume when you logged back in.
With the entire Blood Fiend Guild locked up, they became famous again.
"Haha, Little Lin, you're ruthless, but I like it. It suits my taste, haha!"
Ren Lan praised from the side, thinking that ever since Little Lin broke up with Guo Jie, he had become more and more manly. Oh dear, the more she looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed.
Lin Jichen then turned his gaze to the other players present. The whole place fell silent. Those who had reported Lin Jichen on the forums were especially nervous, afraid he would settle scores with them later, each one lowering their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Everyone, the Blood Fiend Guild disrespected me. I was afraid they wouldn't follow orders during the battle or might even betray us, so I had to painfully remove them," Lin Jichen said with a 'sincere' face.
Everyone's faces twitched. They wanted to refute but didn't dare to speak up.
"Since I am the commander, everyone must follow my orders from now on. If anyone feels they can't accept this, they can leave now, and I won't make things difficult for them."
Lin Jichen said, then changed his tone, warning, "But if anyone disobeys orders later, don't blame me for turning against you. I can erase all the reputation, battle merits, Spirit Stones, and equipment you want. If you want to leave, do it now!"
Still, no one spoke up. Clearly, no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
"Good, since no one wants to leave, I promise that as long as you follow my orders, I will do my best to lead you to destroy the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. By then, cultivation, reputation, Spirit Stones, battle merits, equipment, you'll have it all!"
After Lin Jichen finished speaking, most players became a bit excited. After all, these were their goals.
With just a few words, he controlled the entire scene, easily stirring everyone's emotions. Lin Jichen's commanding presence was unmistakable.
"Is this guy really just a student?" Su Wanling muttered.
"Don't be surprised. Some people are just born with the potential to be leaders," Jiang Luoyu said with a smile.
Lin Jichen had already started organizing the formation. This time, he was going to lead over a million players and command them in battle, which was no small task.
