Chapter 359 If You Dare Resist, Show No Mercy!
```
The situation became serious, and Yu Xianhe had no choice but to step in. After all, the matter now involved elders—characters at the elder level. If it were only the younger generation sparring, he could ignore it, but with three elders of the Flora Sect stepping forward, he could no longer remain an indifferent onlooker and had a reason to intervene.
"Please be patient, elders. The match hasn't ended yet. According to the rules of the arena, we shouldn't interfere midway. By doing so, wouldn't we be breaking the rules?" Yu Xianhe slowly approached and said.
The leader elder of the Flora Sect immediately rebuked, "Valley Master Yu, you are mistaken. If they were fighting fairly and justly, then our Flower Prince's defeat would be acceptable, and there would be nothing to say. But now, this Ye Feng, he actually resorted to despicable tactics, and we cannot ignore that!"
"Exactly, Valley Master Yu. Now our prince has been heavily wounded by despicable means, and even the Divine Path Object has been destroyed. This is a tremendous hurt to our Flower Prince, as well as a contempt and provocation against our Flora Sect. Thus, we cannot overlook this matter today!" the other two Flora Sect elders also said in a cold voice.
Upon hearing this, Sima Zhantian, known for his explosive temper, couldn't bear it and roared through gritted teeth, "Bullshit! To deal with such trash, does our lord need to resort to tactics? Dare to insult our lord, believe it or not, I will tear you alive?"
Xiao Chuanqi also exclaimed coldly, "You keep saying our lord resorted to schemes, but where is the evidence? Where is it? Without solid proof, it's nothing but slander. According to Xuanyuan Nation's laws, anyone who dares accuse the king of one realm without evidence will be executed without mercy!"
Even though Xiao Chuanqi was only at the peak of the Martial King Realm, his unique physique and the burst of Sword Qi from his body, made the word 'kill' emanate a momentum that nearly forced the three Flora Sect elders to take a step back.
The three Flora Sect elders looked at each other, thinking that these were indeed the capable followers under the Northern King, possessing formidable power not to be underestimated. Of course, as cultivators in the third stage of the Divine Path Realm, the Spirit Division Realm, they didn't need to be fearful, but the difficulty was that they had rushed forward on a whim to defend Hua Youque.
Now, being asked to produce evidence, where could they have it? After all, the storm had obscured the sky, and they hadn't even seen clearly what had happened inside.
Ye Feng did not speak, merely looking at the three Flora Sect elders coldly. A very important reason he had yet to take action was that the Flora Sect had always had good relations with the Utility Pavilion.
Soon, there would be the grand global Martial Dao conference. The Utility Pavilion only had two supreme elder seats, and the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts had three. Even adding the Martial Principal seat, the Utility Pavilion would only be on par with the Ancient Martial Arts Sects, three against three.
Therefore, Ye Feng speculated that the reason why the Utility Pavilion insisted on promoting the Martial Academy might very well be related to the two Great Sects close to the Utility Pavilion. Thus, Ye Feng was concerned that if the relationship between the Flora Sect and the Utility Pavilion were to break or even sour because of him, would it ruin the Utility Pavilion's grand plans?
But soon, Ye Feng reconsidered. What was the Utility Pavilion to him? He was not the Sect Leader of the Utility Pavilion. Why should he care so much? He should act according to his principles.
Seeing the three Flora Sect elders fall silent, Yu Xianhe immediately said, "This matter is actually a misunderstanding. Concern leads to chaos. Since things have developed to this point, there's no need for further competition. Now that the Flower Prince is injured, it's more important to heal him. Otherwise, any delay might affect his future Martial Dao foundation."
That was indeed a true statement, and it undoubtedly offered them a way out. Therefore, the leading elder of the Flora Sect immediately said, "Valley Master Yu is correct. Currently, healing the prince is the priority. As for subsequent matters, we will deal with them after the prince's injuries are stabilized!"
The other two Flora Sect elders chimed in with a cold shout, "Whoever dares to harm our prince with despicable means, we will not let this matter rest so easily. Once the prince's injuries are stabilized, we will definitely seek justice from the Utility Pavilion!"
Having said this, the two helped Hua Youque and prepared to leave the Martial Arts Training Field.

Originally, considering the plans of the Utility Pavilion, Ye Feng had already decided not to pursue the matter any further, especially since Hua Youque had already suffered injury. However, the attitudes of these three Flora Sect elders made him furiously angry.
"Stop right there!" Ye Feng suddenly raised his voice, his aura bursting forth explosively, sending terrifying waves of energy sweeping out, causing the three Flora Sect elders to stagger where they stood, and Hua Youque to fall to the ground.
"You scoundrels, do you intend to strike at us? Have you considered the consequences?" the heavily made-up female Flora Sect elder finally managed to stabilize herself and roared with fury.
Ye Feng spoke, one word at a time, "Since you claim I used underhanded methods to plot against you, either present evidence or offer up your heads!"
The atmosphere grew tense once more. Yu Xianhe, seeing this, couldn't help but secretly come over to try to dissuade Ye Feng, but Ye Feng simply ignored him. Yu Xianhe knew that today's matters were beyond repair.
However, Yu Xianhe understood the temper of Northern King Ye Feng and knew that once this man made a decision, not even his future father-in-law could do anything to change it—in fact, no one's intervention would be of any use.
The three Flora Sect elders had no choice but to halt their steps and turn their heads to stare at Ye Feng, speaking one word at a time, "What did you say? Have the guts to repeat your words to me!"
Of course, Ye Feng had no intention of repeating himself; he was always the one asking questions and issuing commands. He coldly pronounced, "You have two minutes to consider!"
This statement completely enraged the three Flora Sect elders, who shouted, "What an arrogant claim! But what do you count for, really? As the Northern Border King, do you really think you are that impressive? You are truly ignorant. Let me tell you, even the Sect Leader of the Utility Pavilion wouldn't dare to speak to us in such a tone when they see us!"
Actually, Yu Xianhe knew of the relationship between the Flora Sect and the Utility Pavilion, so at this moment, he found himself in a dilemma. He was starting to regret asking Ye Feng to play this role of a shield.
"Ye, I'm telling you, our Flora Sect will not fear a mere Northern King like you. Even with just one word from us, your position as Northern King might not be secure. Do you believe that?"
Ye Feng was unmoved, still replying sentence by sentence, "Half a minute left."
"You..." The three Flora Sect elders were truly unable to suppress their anger; it seemed as though all their previous words had been for nothing.
"Boy, since you are so unappreciative, then we shall teach you a proper lesson and then proceed to the Utility Pavilion to reason with those few Sect Leaders properly. Valley Master Yu, you have seen it too—this youngster is being unreasonable, so you best not get involved!"
After saying this, the three Flora Sect elders put Hua Youque to one side, then turned on their heels, ready to make a move.
Ye Feng watched them coldly, then suddenly gave an order, "Attack. If anyone dares to resist, kill without mercy!" Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
