Su Yang glanced at the Lord of the Heavenly Court with eyes full of disdain and mockery.
He was naturally very aware of what the Lord of the Heavenly Court was thinking. As for the actions of the Lord of the Heavenly Court, Su Yang didn't feel much resentnt.
After all, the Lord of the Heavenly Court is a mber of the Heavenly Realm, and each serves their own master. It is only natural for him to act for the Heavenly Realm and to seek benefits for himself.
However, these people were all rescued by Su Yang from Storm Valley. Previously, they were trapped in the Investiture of the Gods inside Storm Valley. If Su Yang hadn't saved them, they would probably still be trapped there.
As a result, after Su Yang saved them, the Lord of the Heavenly Court not only showed no gratitude but also set up a sche to trick Su Yang. He wanted to deceive Su Yang into handing over the map of the Feather Spirit Palace for his own gain, which made Su Yang very displeased.
But what truly infuriated Su Yang to the extre was the previous incident where the dean and Xu Fenghou were seriously injured.
The people of the Seven Realms were all within the Heavenly Court, and all order here was supposed to be handled by the Heavenly Court. Yet, the dean and Xu Fenghou were severely injured in this place.
If the Lord of the Heavenly Court had not tacitly approved of this matter, Su Yang would never have believed it.
This incident turned Su Yang's displeasure towards the Lord of the Heavenly Court into anger, extre anger.
I helped you, and it's fine if you don't repay . You don't repay and instead try to deceive , which is understandable since it's for your own benefit. But not repaying, deceiving , and having the dean and Xu Fenghou beaten up—Su Yang couldn't possibly be polite to him over this!
Amid the uproar, Su Yang spoke again, "Haha, isn't it interesting? After I ca out, the Immortal Elder contacted several tis, wanting to hand over the map of the Feather Spirit Palace. But previously, I was hesitant until today, when I made the real decision to hand over the map of the Feather Spirit Palace!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd once again erupted in an uproar. But this ti, their focus shifted collectively to the Lord of the Heavenly Court.
People present were no fools and naturally understood what the Lord of the Heavenly Court intended by having Su Yang hand over the map to him. His actions naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the people, and their eyes were filled with anger as they looked at him.
The Lord of the Heavenly Court's expression turned extrely ugly; he never expected Su Yang to do such a thing.
Not only did Su Yang refuse to hand over the map to him, but he also put him in such a pit in public. Thus, the people of the Seven Realms would now regard him as an enemy, bringing him trendous trouble ahead.
Yuan Zhen's expression also changed; he had originally co to receive benefits. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. With this situation, the Heavenly Realm gained nothing and would probably incur the grudges of the Eight Realms. It truly was a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.
Yuan Zhen looked at Su Yang, his expression sowhat dazed. He couldn't comprehend how sothing that was almost accomplished had turned into its current state.
Seeing everyone's angry expressions, Yuan Zhen knew that if this matter wasn't resolved quickly, the Heavenly Realm would likely incur the wrath of many.
"Su Alliance Leader, are you trying to fra the Heavenly Realm?" Yuan Zhen said with displeasure, as if wronged, angrily saying, "How could the Immortal Elder do such a thing? Don't spout nonsense!"
Su Yang glanced at Yuan Zhen, then at the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and smiled, "Oh dear, my apologies, my apologies, I misspoke. Everyone, I misspoke earlier; the Immortal Elder did no such thing, don't misunderstand!"
That statent achieved the opposite of its intent.
Those who were sowhat doubtful were now decidedly sure that the Lord of the Heavenly Court indeed did it.
Su Yang's deanor made it appear as though he was being threatened. Since the Heavenly Realm and the Human World are still connected, it's normal for Su Yang to fear the Heavenly Realm. Yuan Zhen's words earlier were essentially a threat, forcing Su Yang to rephrase.
"What do you an, Venerable Yuan?" a remarkably ugly man coldly said, "Su Alliance Leader is discussing serious matters, and you're scaring him—are you afraid he'll really tell us the truth? Or is it that your Heavenly Realm truly has done sothing unspeakable, so you're threatening him to avoid it being revealed?"
This man was the leader of the Asura Clan, holding a very high position.
Yuan Zhen was furious and said in a deep voice, "When did I threaten him? I'm just asking him not to lie. If he slanders people from my Heavenly Realm, can't I even refute it?"
"Is it slander? Everyone is perfectly clear on the matter and doesn't need your explanations!" another man said coldly, "Moreover, you don't have to speak to him like that. Even if you threaten him and render him speechless, do you think we lack the judgnt to see what's happening?"
"What do you an?" Yuan Zhen was sowhat annoyed, knowing that the man was clearly insulting him indirectly.
"Hmph, you know it perfectly well in your heart!" the man said coldly.
Yuan Zhen was furious but had no ans against this man. The man was the leader of the Feather Clan and was not inferior in strength to Yuan Zhen.
"Su Alliance Leader, speak freely. No matter what happens, we will support you!" the leader of the Feather Clan shouted, casting a provocative glance at Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen was extrely angry and gritted his teeth as he confronted Su Yang, "Fine, just tell the truth. Did we ever ask you to hand over the map?"
Su Yang glanced at the Lord of the Heavenly Court, then at Yuan Zhen, with a sowhat panicked expression, and shook his head, "N-no..."
Yuan Zhen almost spat blood. If 'no,' then 'no.' Why all the drama? With such a performance, no one would believe what you said; rather, it would confirm they indeed did those things!
Indeed, the crowd thought so as well, and their deanor towards Yuan Zhen and others was increasingly hostile.
Seeing the crowd's anger nearly directed entirely at him, the words Yuan Zhen was about to say got swallowed back down.
"Good and evil are clear, and justice lives in people's hearts!" Yuan Zhen said coldly, "I don't feel the need to explain anything. Those who understand the Heavenly Realm know we wouldn't do such things. For those who don't understand us, we don't need to explain!"
"Ha, that's interesting of you to say." The leader of the Feather Clan sneered, "Honestly, we trust Su Alliance Leader precisely because we understand the Heavenly Realm!"
"Hahaha..." The crowd burst into laughter at this, as it was extrely sarcastic.
Yuan Zhen's face turned ashen as he gritted his teeth in silence, staring at Su Yang with intense resentnt. If looks could kill, Su Yang would have died a thousand deaths by now.
