Dead silence.
A terrifying dead silence.
Not a single sound in the vast main hall.
Yi Bai, Yi Nong, Yi Sheng, Yi Chang, and Yi Cao all gaped, their jaws dropping to the floor, stunned into speechlessness.
They couldn't believe it.
Yi Tianqiu had gone to provoke the Xuan Clan.
And even dared to strike at the daughter of the Fifth Sword Emperor.
No wonder Lin Fan sought revenge.
Yi Shengtang's expression was violently terrifying.
His eyes glead coldly, staring directly at Yi Tianqiu.
A long while passed.
He slowly sat down, his expression still dignified and frightening.
Yi Tianqiu knelt on the ground.
Feeling countless pairs of cold eyes staring at the back of his head, his hair stood on end, his spine chilled.
He couldn't help but tremble.
"Clan, clan leader... Clan leader... I... I... I..."
He stamred for a long ti, yet was unable to speak.
Yi Tianqiu saw no one speaking.
His body trembled more violently, cautiously raising his head for a slight glance.
Only to et Yi Shengtang's terrifying gaze.
Heartless.
Cold.
Fierce.
Violent.
Yi Tianqiu's heart sank coldly, quickly burying his head again.
"Clan leader... it... it was an accident... I, I originally intended to assassinate Lin Fan... but, but I didn't expect the Fifth Sword Emperor's daughter to suddenly rush out... I... I..."
He was still trying to justify his actions, attempting to shift all bla onto Lin Fan.
"It's all Lin Fan's fault! If, if it weren't for him... this, this wouldn't have happened..."
"Why didn't you say so earlier."
While trembling and attempting to justify, Yi Shengtang suddenly spoke coldly.
Yi Tianqiu froze abruptly.
His babbling mouth ca to a halt, plunging into silence.
"Why did you hide it?"
Yi Shengtang asked coldly again.
His voice was light.
Yet sharp as a knife, piercing Yi Tianqiu's heart.
A wrenching pain gripped his chest.
He couldn't breathe.
Yi Bai and others inhaled sharply.
They hadn't seen clan leader Yi Shengtang display such an expression in a long ti, their hearts trembling, palms sweating with tension.
After a long ti.
Yi Tianqiu suddenly seed to regain his senses, kowtowing like pounding garlic, fiercely smashing his forehead against the ground.
"Clan leader, I was wrong!"
"Please forgive ! I won't dare again!"
"You must not let Lin Fan kill ... this is the Shennong Clan!"
"Clan leader, I truly understand my mistake... I, I promise it won't happen again!"
His apology was incoherent, inexplicably feeling his head was in danger.
As if Yi Shengtang might agree to Lin Fan executing him on Shennong Clan's territory.
"A life for a life, you know the principle."
Yi Shengtang leaned back, sighed lightly, and spoke quietly.
Yi Tianqiu's scalp tingled instantly, hastily raising his head, forehead veins bulging, face contorted and twisted, eyes bulging as if about to burst, bloodshot and terrifyingly crimson.
"No... no... Clan leader... you can't do this... this is Shennong Clan's territory... you can't let Lin Fan kill here... you need to protect ... I am the Shennong Clan's scion... my father is your brother... I am your nephew..."
Due to fear.
His jaw trembled violently, descending into madness.
Yi Sheng remained silent.
But witnessing the scene before him, he couldn't help but speak loudly, "Clan leader, Yi Tianqiu is not wrong. This is Shennong Clan's territory, Lin Fan can't run wild here. Although Yi Tianqiu did wrong, it's not Lin Fan's place to discipline him, he's completely disregarding the Clan leader and the Shennong Clan, who the hell does he think he is?"
Yi Shengtang slowly shifted his gaze to Yi Sheng.
Silent fury.
Making Yi Sheng's heart tremble in fear.
"I also believe Lin Fan shouldn't cause chaos in Shennong Clan, it would damage the clan's dignity and reputation."
Yi Bai stepped forward, clasped his hands, and bowed.
Yi Sheng was surprised.
Unexpectedly, Yi Bai agreed with his viewpoint, truly rare.
"But we can hand Yi Tianqiu over to Lin Fan, let him take him out of Shennong Clan. After all, a life for a life."
Yi Sheng hadn't yet celebrated, hearing Yi Bai's words made him instantly furious.
He had just stated Lin Fan shouldn't discipline him, and Yi Bai countered.
This guy seed intent on undermining him!
"I don't agree! Yi Tianqiu is our Shennong Clan mber and the clan leader's nephew, why hand him to an unknown like Lin Fan? The son of Shennong Clan being killed by a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor ant, if this spreads, it'll be laughed at!"
"Then what does brother think should be done about the Fifth Sword Emperor?"
Yi Bai retorted without backing down.
"You..."
Yi Sheng turned red with anger, was about to retort.
"Clan leader!"
Suddenly.
A loud shout ca from outside the main hall door.
A dark shadow rushed in, it was the clan leader's brother, Yi Tianqiu's father Yi Shengmang.
He had heard the news and rushed over in haste.
Entering the main hall.
He sensed the eerie atmosphere.
Seeing the Shennong Five General arguing intensely, son Yi Tianqiu kneeling with a bloodied head, clan leader Yi Shengtang with a grim face, vaguely exuding a murderous aura.
Yi Shengmang imdiately realized sothing was amiss.
He shouted loudly and rushed over, kneeling beside Yi Tianqiu.
"Clan leader, the son is young and unwise, please teach him and spare his life."
"Clan leader, he's your nephew, can you truly bear to strike?"
He hadn't understood the situation yet, played the pitiful card.
Yi Shengtang smiled coldly within.
Truly devious.
"Brother, do you know what Yi Tianqiu has done?"
"I do not know. But regardless of what Tianqiu has done, please spare him a dog's life, clan leader."
"It's not about whether I want to spare him, it's whether Lin Fan and the Fifth Sword Emperor will spare him."
Yi Shengmang was taken aback.
He knew Lin Fan sought Yi Tianqiu, but how did this involve the Fifth Sword Emperor?
He looked bewildered at Yi Shengtang, not knowing the aning.
Yi Shengtang sneered.
"Seems you don't know yet, so let Yi Tianqiu tell you."
Yi Shengmang abruptly turned to Yi Tianqiu, eyes wide.
"Beast! What have you done?!"
Yi Tianqiu tremblingly said, "I, I killed... the Fifth Yun'er..."
Buzz——
Yi Shengmang's mind went blank.
He hadn't expected Yi Tianqiu to stir such a big trouble, Fifth Yun'er was the only daughter of the Fifth Sword Emperor, killing her ant threatening the Fifth Sword Emperor's life!
His mouth twitched violently, facial features gradually separating, eyes emitting savage light.
"Beast!"
He kicked Yi Tianqiu's stomach fiercely without saying a word.
Yi Tianqiu was unprepared, hadn't yet reacted, suddenly soared into the air, flying out, crashing into the main hall wall.
Boom!
Crashed to the ground, half-dead.
"Beast... scum... you have the nerve to stir such trouble, why didn't you tell ?!"
Yi Shengmang went completely berserk.
Instantly rushed toward the nearly lifeless Yi Tianqiu, preparing to stomp heavily.
"Enough."
At this mont.
Yi Shengtang coldly spoke.
Yi Shengmang's actions froze, his raised foot suspended mid-air.
"Take him back."
Leaving a sentence, Yi Shengtang departed the main hall without looking back.
