As soon as these words were spoken, the elders of the various sects instantly turned pale, and their previously arrogant demeanor vanished without a trace.
Even though they had long felt that reason was not on their side, they still wanted to use this excuse to put Lin Yifan to death.
But now, everything was ruined by Monk Qingde's realization.
"Hehe! Did you hear that? Your good disciples provoked me first, and you blame me for being cruel. That's truly laughable."
Lin Yifan was overjoyed, finally defusing the crisis.
However, the angered sect elders were unwilling to concede, retorting, "That's his one-sided story, not trustworthy!"
"Wow! They are on your side, and you say they're not trustworthy? How embarrassing!"
"Who said he is on our side? He is clearly a Songshan Sect disciple, isn't he?"
The elders remained defiant, arguing.
