Not only Ma Jinlong, but everyone was puzzled as to why Liu Huayuan was protecting Ye Feng so much.
In the Punishment Hall, they understood, because the Punishment Hall was Liu Huayuan's domain. If Liu Huayuan didn't intervene in his own territory, he'd lose face. But this wasn't the Punishment Hall.
Ma Jinlong roared loudly, "Tell me, on what basis are you protecting an Outer Court disciple like this?"
Liu Huayuan, visibly displeased, shouted, "Because I am Ye Feng's follower. I swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao to follow Ye Feng to the death. As Ye Feng's follower, how could I stand by and watch while you try to kill him? Do you understand now?"
"What!" Instantly, the entire Martial Arts Square erupted, everyone was utterly bewildered.
They felt as if they were dreaming, wondering if they had heard wrong, that Liu Huayuan was actually a follower of Ye Feng.
