"What? He escaped?!"
The result completely took Yi Shengtang by surprise.
He looked at the five Shennong generals standing awkwardly before him, his brows furrowed and his expression grave.
It was precisely because he worried about Lin Fan's strength that he summoned the five Shennong generals, hoping they could intercept Lin Fan halfway.
But unexpectedly.
Even the five Shennong generals were helpless against Lin Fan.
"Just who is this Lin Fan?"
"Bah! Just an ant like Ninth Rank Saint Emperor, nothing noteworthy."
Yi Sheng remained indifferent.
Although knocked down by Lin Fan, he had also knocked Lin Fan down, so it was considered a draw.
Moreover.
They had managed to chase Lin Fan away.
By this reckoning, they had the upper hand.
With this sense of victory, Yi Sheng naturally looked down on Lin Fan.
"We'll rip his head off next ti he barely escapes."
Yi Bai rolled his eyes, clasping his fists and bowing, "Clan Leader, it was indeed our fault that Lin Fan escaped this ti..."
"It's not my fault though, you're talking about yourselves, don't include ." Yi Sheng interjected.
Yi Bai's body trembled, and a murderous gleam flashed in his eyes.
Unable to hold back, he turned sharply toward Yi Sheng.
"Nothing to do with you?"
Yi Sheng was startled, not expecting Yi Bai to snap at him.
He glanced at the Clan Leader Yi Shengtang, seeing no reaction from him, he straightened his back.
"Certainly it's nothing to do with , Lin Fan's escape was your responsibility."
"Indeed, you were unaware when he escaped."
"See! I told you, it's not connected to , it's all your fault."
Yi Bai let out a cold laugh, "That's because you were knocked out by Lin Fan, naturally you didn't know how he ran off."
Swish.
Yi Sheng's face suddenly turned bright red.
His lips twitched slightly, and he glared fiercely at Yi Bai.
He hadn't expected Yi Bai to expose his embarrassnt in front of the Clan Leader.
Yi Sheng swallowed his words, wanting to fight back.
But Yi Bai turned away, no longer paying attention to him, leaving Yi Sheng simring with anger which he could only swallow due to the presence of the Clan Leader.
Yi Bai continued his report.
"This Lin Fan is indeed unusual, not like an ordinary person. We haven't yet figured out his purpose, but judging by his murderous aura, it seems certain he'll cause trouble. It's our negligence letting him escape; we'll do everything to find him and prevent chaos in the Shennong Clan. Rest assured, Clan Leader!"
"See how frightened you all are, a bunch of cowards." Yi Sheng insisted, "This is the Shennong Clan's territory; what mischief could a re Ninth Rank Saint Emperor cause? Are we really afraid of him?"
Yi Bai was about to retort.
Yi Shengtang raised his hand, stopping their quarrel.
"Where has Lin Fan gone?"
"We're still tracking his whereabouts; he has yet to be found."
"Yes, maintain vigilance; don't let him get near the Main City."
"Understood."
Yi Bai and the others responded in unison.
Yi Shengtang sighed, saying, "Yi Sheng, if Lin Fan were ordinary, why would I summon you all?"
Yi Sheng was taken aback, not expecting a reprimand from the Clan Leader, his expression turning awkward.
"Actually, I already know Lin Fan's purpose in coming to the Shennong Clan this ti."
Yi Bai and the others were stunned, staring blankly at Clan Leader Yi Shengtang.
"Clan Leader... knows?"
"Yes."
"Then... why did Lin Fan visit the Shennong Clan?"
"Yi Tianqiu."
Just after the words left his mouth.
Speak of the devil.
The main hall's door suddenly revealed a shadow, hastily rushing toward everyone.
Upon closer inspection.
The figure was none other than the ntioned Yi Tianqiu.
Upon reaching Yi Shengtang.
Yi Tianqiu fell to his knees with a thud.
"Clan Leader!"
Yi Shengtang furrowed his brows.
"What's the matter?"
Everyone turned to Yi Tianqiu, stunned and bewildered.
For Yi Tianqiu was on his knees, body trembling, face full of panic and horror.
His face was ashen.
Devoid of blood.
Yi Bai and Yi Nong exchanged a glance, realizing sothing unusual, their hearts sank.
Yi Tianqiu knelt down, trembling violently, unable to utter a word for a long ti.
Yi Shengtang also sensed Yi Tianqiu's panic, his brow furrowing tighter, eyes shooting cold light as he stared unflinchingly.
"Tian Qiu, what happened?"
Yi Tianqiu was startled, finally coming to his senses, his voice quivering.
"Last night... Lin Fan... had a soldier send a ssage... saying he's... he's coming for soon..."
"What?!"
Yi Bai and the others gasped, exclaiming in shock.
This Lin Fan was so audacious and arrogant to send a ssage, openly threatening Yi Tianqiu!
Boldness.
This is boldness!
Alone in the Shennong Clan's territory, faced with nurous experts pursuing him, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers searching, he remained unscathed, even sending a ssage.
Yi Bai could no longer describe his shock.
Seemingly, Lin Fan was not human.
His heart raced.
Silence reigned.
Everything was still.
Yi Tianqiu's trembling voice made the large main hall feel even quieter.
No one anticipated Lin Fan's progress to be so swift.
If it progressed this way.
It indicated Lin Fan was already near the Main City, likely arriving tonight.
What had Yi Tianqiu gotten involved in that Lin Fan would risk danger alone to find him?
Yi Shengtang took a deep breath, his expression sharp, eyes glinting coldly as he stared at Yi Tianqiu.
"Tian Qiu, are you hiding anything from ?"
His voice was light, mild.
Yet it sent shivers down Yi Tianqiu, his heart trembling.
"No, no..."
"Really no?"
"Really... truly..."
Yi Tianqiu stamred halfway, unable to continue.
He knew.
Clan Leader Yi Shengtang had already seen through him.
Without looking up, he knew those piercing deep eyes had penetrated his soul.
He broke out in a cold sweat, shivering down his spine.
"Yi Tianqiu, what good deed have you done?!"
Yi Shengtang suddenly roared, shocking everyone into a stupor.
"I'm sorry! Clan Leader!"
"Speak! What exactly happened!"
Yi Shengtang's voice roared furiously.
The earth shook.
The entire main hall seed to tremble; Yi Bai and others felt as if struck, their breaths becoming heavy.
"I... I... I..."
Yi Tianqiu's voice shook, failing to say a word.
He raised his rear, trembling like a vibrating device.
"Speak!"
"In Wentian City, I... in a mont of... a mont of madness... I genuinely don't know why I did it... why... now... it's unclear to ... I was just furious then... just wanted to kill Lin Fan... but..."
"What exactly happened?!"
Yi Shengtang slapped the armrest, roaring, the heavens shaking.
The main hall's ceiling.
Dust fell in sheets.
"I... I killed Diwu Yun'er..."
Yi Tianqiu deflated, laying prostrate, like a dead dog unmoving.
Stopped trembling.
Stopped making sound.
Stopped resisting.
Yi Shengtang gasped, a twitch near his eye.
Yi Bai and the five Shennong generals, widened their eyes, almost tearing apart.
"Diwu Yun'er?! The daughter of the Fifth Sword Emperor?!"
Yi Sheng roared, barely believing his ears.
Thud, thud.
Yi Tianqiu heavily nodded, his forehead striking the ground, instantly bleeding profusely.
