First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 709: Wrong Answer—Say Goodnight to the World

"You've forgotten that it was the Liberation Sect that gave you this platform, the Liberation Sect that made you who you are today! Without the Liberation Sect, there would be no you!"

Zhou Huo stood up. "Then why don't you talk about how much I've done for the Liberation Sect!?"

"It's true, the skills I learned were taught by the Liberation Sect, but my talent wasn't!"

"Moreover, the skills I have were earned through my own hard work!"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and the Liberation Sect is especially a place where the strong prey on the weak."

"I put in the effort and sweat, starting from the bottom, learning the weakest techniques and cultivation methods, step by step until I reached where I am today. I don't owe the Liberation Sect anything."

"On the contrary, it's the Liberation Sect that owes me! If the Liberation Sect is unfair, can't I seek another path for myself!?"

Feng Renyan's face darkened.

Today's matter could be seen as big or small.

On a small scale, it's just a disciple leaving.

On a large scale, it's this: the Deputy Sect Leader of the Liberation Sect was unfair, treated sect property as personal belongings, gave them to a disciple of another sect, and forced his own talented disciple to leave.

If this got out...

What would be affected is the Liberation Sect's image.

This is the Great Han, this is Fengkou City, under the blue sky of rapid technological development, not those barbaric lands outside.

Once public opinion on the internet rises, the Liberation Sect's reputation would plummet.

When that time comes, it would be difficult for the Liberation Sect to recruit new members properly.

This is no different from shaking the very foundation of the Liberation Sect.

If the Sect Leader were to blame him for this later... he... would inevitably face punishment.

Unlike other sects, which have systems of power distribution among elders, deputy sect leaders, and shareholders.

The Liberation Sect's origin was as a demonic sect. It only became the Liberation Sect later after being 'enlightened' by the Great Han.

Although they had turned from darkness to light, within the Liberation Sect, it was still a system of the Sect Leader holding absolute power.

Whoever he said to punish, would be punished.

Because of giving away a sword, the reputation was damaged;because of giving away a sword, a prodigy ran away;because of giving away a sword, the special envoy was offended.

And the sword was still public property! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Thinking of all this, Feng Renyan's head was spinning.

Today, he absolutely could not let Zhou Huo leave just like this, even if...

Feng Renyan glanced at Lu Ding.

He thought to himself, even if he had to leave, he must make him leave 'justifiably'.

"Leaving is possible, but you must return everything you learned from the Liberation Sect!?"

"You came here clean, then you leave clean."

Well, this was asking him to cripple his own cultivation.

Vicious!

If he didn't cripple himself, then it would be considered desertion.

The price of desertion is being hunted down by the entire sect.

Zhou Huo's expression darkened, not knowing how to respond.

Lu Ding smiled. "Then how do you account for his contributions and the work he did?"

"Moreover, it's not that he wronged the Liberation Sect, but rather, you, the Deputy Sect Leader of the Liberation Sect, wronged him."

"And don't tell me you are you, and the Liberation Sect is the Liberation Sect. As the Deputy Sect Leader of the Liberation Sect, you represent the Liberation Sect."

With just a few sentences, Lu Ding directly blocked his path, preventing this person from saying something like, 'I wronged him, it's a personal grudge between me and him. Him leaving the Liberation Sect is a public matter between him and the Liberation Sect.'

Cut the crap with these word games.

Hearing Lu Ding speak up, Zhou Huo immediately chimed in. "Right! Exactly, how do you account for that!?"

Feng Renyan tried his best to suppress the surging Spiritual Energy, not letting it leak out with his anger, and said, "Then, according to the Special Envoy, how should it be accounted for!?"

Lu Ding said casually, "Deduct two points from his credibility score, that's it."

"You..."

Feng Renyan started to speak but stopped himself.

Although he didn't understand what a 'credibility score' was, this thing definitely wasn't anything valuable.

He took a deep breath. "Special Envoy, if I don't agree, do you intend to use your authority to pressure me!?"

Lu Ding didn't reply immediately.

Instead, he silently turned off his bodycam.

This action made everyone present's eyelids twitch, but they didn't dare say anything, only silently stepping further away, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

"Now I've turned off the bodycam. I'm not wearing my shoulder insignias either. Let me correct you: I'm not using my authority to pressure you. I'm using my personal strength to pressure you."

Lu Ding emphasized the words 'authority'.

"Agree to let him leave, and I can pretend today's events never happened."

As he said this, he pointed to a corner of the arena. "Disagree, and I'll make you lie down over there."

Things that were reasonable and legal but not compliant with regulations—Lu Ding had done plenty of those.

So.

He didn't mind doing it one more time today.

Zhou Huo, he absolutely had to take away.

Besides this person being useful, Lu Ding also quite admired him.

If he couldn't take him away today, then Zhou Huo's days afterward would be tough.

Feng Renyan took a step back, his heart tangled and full of apprehension. "Although you are the Special Envoy, this matter is my Liberation Sect's internal aff..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

He heard a sound like the roaring of a flesh-and-blood engine, surging with fervent heat.

VROOM!!!!!

Lu Ding's apertures opened wide, black smoke billowed out. With Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking active in his body and Moon Arc Kick ready at his foot, he took a step and kicked!!!!!

"Wrong answer. Say goodnight to the world."

Feng Renyan never expected that Lu Ding would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

But fortunately, he had mentally prepared himself in advance.

He opened his Spiritual Energy defense, but the violent force directly tore through his Spiritual Energy shield.

Feng Renyan hurriedly bent his arm, raising it, foolishly trying to block the attack with the triangular area at his elbow.

But as Lu Ding's kick arrived.

The terrifying force within it made terror rise in Feng Renyan's eyes.

The scene seemed to slow down at this moment.

Shockwaves rolled, wrapping around the black smoke, forming a ring that exploded and spread outwards.

The elbow blocking Lu Ding's attack gradually twisted, deformed. The sound of shattering bones clearly reached Feng Renyan's ears.

Crack... crack...

Then came an irresistible force, like a mountain collapsing, a tsunami, or a dump truck impact.

It directly blasted Feng Renyan away.

He crashed straight into the corner Lu Ding had just pointed at.

BOOM!!!!!

The already dilapidated arena now had another collapse—a wall hundreds of meters high crumbled, burying the Liberation Sect's Deputy Sect Leader, Feng Renyan.

It must be said.

The older you get, the harder it is to fall asleep.

You must choose the right position and the right place.

Coincidentally, Lu Ding was a professional deep sleep assistant.

Give him a chance, and he'll give you sweet dreams.

Looking at the dust-churning corner.

Lu Ding retracted his leg, turned around, without the slightest hesitation, and uttered only one word: "Go."

This kick.

Not only gave Feng Renyan a comfortable sleep.

It also gave Zhou Huo's heart a truly worthy figure to admire and chase after.

No matter what happens in the future.

Just today, just now, this kick—Zhou Huo could remember it for a lifetime.

When everyone wasn't on his side, when everyone, including his own sect's deputy leader, favored someone else more.

It was Lu Ding who stood by his side without the slightest hesitation.
