Ji Tianxing mentioned that he wanted to leave the Star Devouring Grotto-Heaven.
This was a test to verify his guess and the answer he already had in his heart.
As expected.
Without waiting for him to finish, Tao Yongsheng smiled and waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Young Master Long Tian, this is you being immature!
In this matter, you are the victim. It was our Taotie Clan that neglected you and made you suffer.
Now, I want to interrogate them severely to find out the truth. How can you leave?
I have a lot of questions to ask you, and after the investigation is done, I will sentence them to death and compensate you at the same time …
Before this matter is settled, you must not leave the Star Devouring Grotto-Heaven.
Otherwise, if this matter spreads, the other clans will think that we are evil people who bully others. "
Tao Yongsheng said a lot of righteous words to persuade Ji Tianxing. At the same time, he firmly expressed that he would not let Ji Tianxing leave.
He did not even give Ji Tianxing a chance to refute. He ordered rudely and arbitrarily, "Young Master Long Tian, Wang Chuan Palace has been destroyed. It is temporarily unsuitable for living.
How about this, you stay in Great Elder's Wu Xian Palace first. A few Elders will accompany you and protect your safety.
In the next few days, I want to find out the truth and will have to look for you.
After I find out the truth, I will give you a satisfactory answer.
After this matter is settled, you can leave the Star Devouring Grotto-Heaven. "
After that, Tao Yongsheng waved his hand and gave the order.
The white-haired Great Elder brought four Upper Divine King Realm Elders to Ji Tianxing and greeted him.
Tao Yongsheng and the Great Priest brought Tao Rongxing and Tao Yuxing to the Clan Leader's Hall.
Looking at the two Elders' dejected and drooping heads, it seemed like they were going to be interrogated.
As for the other elders, their attitudes towards Ji Tianxing were much more complicated.
On the surface, they were respectful and polite to Ji Tianxing. However, their attitude was tough and their eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
Sometimes, the way he looked at Ji Tianxing was very strange, as if he was looking at a dead man.
Perhaps in their hearts, Ji Tianxing was already dead. It was only a matter of time.
Before the Patriarch decided to murder Ji Tianxing, their mission was to monitor and imprison Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing was well aware of all of this, and he had already expected it.
He was not angry, nor did he panic. He calmly followed the Great Clan Elder and the others to stay in Wu Xian Palace.
On the surface, the Great Elder was still polite to him. He arranged two guards, two maids, and an exclusive room and secret room for him.
Ji Tianxing rejected the guards and maids and entered the secret chamber alone to cultivate in seclusion.
Seeing that he was so cooperative, the First Elder heaved a sigh of relief and was happy to be free.
As long as Ji Tianxing stayed in Wu Xian Palace and did not go out or leave, he did not care what Ji Tianxing was doing.
…
In the palace where the Patriarch Tao Yongsheng lived.
The gloomy underground secret chamber was protected by two layers of King Grade Divine Formations, which could block all sound, God Power, and Soul Consciousness.
Tao Yongsheng sat at the head of the table, holding a bunch of colorful precious gems and stuffing them into his mouth like melon seeds. He chewed them loudly.
The High Priest stood aside, looking at Tao Rong Xin and Tao Yuxing with a dark face.
The two elders stood side by side in the middle of the secret chamber, lowering their heads as if they were waiting to be scolded.
The atmosphere was heavy, but not oppressive or fearful.
That was because Tao Rong Xin and Tao Yuxing knew that the Patriarch would only scold them and not do anything else.
As expected.
Tao Yongsheng chewed more than twenty gems before he calmed down. He asked in a low voice, "You two, do you know you were wrong?"
Seeing his anger dissipate, Tao Rong Xin and Tao Yuxing heaved a sigh of relief and hurried to bow and apologize.
"Patriarch, please calm down. We know we were wrong!"
"We know we were wrong. Patriarch, please punish us!"
Tao Yongsheng looked at them expressionlessly and asked again, "Then do you know where you were wrong?"
"Well..." Tao Rong Xin was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Tao Yuxing thought for a while and hurried to answer, "Patriarch, we were wrong because we didn't investigate the situation clearly. We didn't know the details of that kid before we acted rashly.
If we had investigated clearly and acted with full confidence, we could have killed him in one blow. We wouldn't have made such a mess and humiliated our clan. "
Tao Yongsheng nodded slightly and scolded in a dignified tone, "Yes! You were wrong because you were too stupid, too confident and arrogant!
You think you can do whatever you want here in the Star Devouring Grotto-Heaven and in our territory?
I've taught you many times that nothing is absolute. You can't underestimate your enemy at any time!
This is a lesson. Not only did you fail to kill him, but you also lost Wang Chuan, Chang Ji, and twenty guards. You also made a mess and lost your face!
That kid is from the Dragon Clan, so he must have a powerful background.
If he sends a message to the Dragon Clan or spreads out what you did...
How do you think the various clans in the Dragon Realm will talk about our Taotie Clan? "
Speaking up to here, Tao Yongsheng paused and glared at the two elders.
Tao Rong Xin and Tao Yuxing hurriedly admitted their mistakes and apologized, expressing that they would change next time.
The High Priest also exhorted earnestly, "Patriarch taught you countless times that you must put the overall situation first!
You coveted that Dragon Clan youth's bloodline. This is a small matter and also a small profit.
But you screwed up the matter. If the news spreads out, it will ruin our clan's reputation.
Even to the extent that we will offend the faction behind that kid, sowing enmity with the Dragon Clan.
Whatever you do in the future, you must use your brains and think of the consequences! "
Tao Rong Xin and Tao Yuxing both had lingering fear and said worriedly, "Patriarch, High Priest, then why didn't we kill him directly?
This way, he wouldn't have the chance to send a message! "
"High Priest's lesson is right. We will remember it firmly.
But what I'm worried about now is that that kid wouldn't have already sent a message out, right? "
Tao Yongsheng immediately said with a cold smile, "If this Seat didn't come forward, he indeed had the chance to send a message and make what you guys did public.
But this Seat came forward, how could he still have the chance?
Don't forget, Head Elder's Wu Xian Palace was a divine palace that this Seat spent painstaking effort and time to specially build.
Inside that divine palace, any communication jade slips will be ineffective! "
Only then did Tao Rong Xin and Tao Yuxing feel like they were relieved of a heavy burden, both revealing gratified smiles.
"Yeah, how could I forget about this!"
"It's still Patriarch who is wise and far-sighted!"
Tao Yongsheng furrowed his brows and said coldly with a black face, "Shut up! It's no use even if you guys flatter me. This Seat isn't done yet!
Don't think that this Seat doesn't know what you guys are thinking. Isn't it just wanting to hog the Dragon Clan's bloodline for yourself?
Previously, you even concealed the news all along, not letting this Seat and the other elders know.
Now that you've stirred up trouble, you want this Seat to come forward to resolve it... This Seat is going to punish you guys with a thousand years of salary. Are you guys convinced? "
