"Clan Leader Qiu, you have a good daughter!"
Dongfang Gan, the Clan Leader of the Eastern Fang Family, mocked Qiu An Ping when he saw the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan greeting him warmly. He was not polite at all.
He had brought his men here to denounce Qiu An Ping. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be polite to Qiu An Ping.
If he were to be polite at this moment, it would be equivalent to giving away the initiative. It would be difficult for him to obtain more benefits.
As the Clan Leader of the Eastern Fang Family, Dongfang Gan knew this very well.
"Hurmph!"
The Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Eastern Fang Family snorted coldly when they were greeted by the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Qiu Clan. They did not even bother to look at the two of them.
It was as though the two of them owed them money.
The expressions of the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Eastern Fang Family darkened when they saw this.
However, although their expressions were ugly, it was not good for them to flare up.
After all, in their opinion, the Eastern Fang Family was in the right, and the Qiu Clan was in the wrong.
"Clan Leader of the Eastern Fang Family, what do you mean by that?"
The smile on Qiu An Ping's face disappeared when he heard Dongfang Gan's words.
As the Clan Leader of the Qiu Clan, he could be polite to Dongfang Gan for the sake of the Qiu Clan.
However, Dongfang Gan was now his daughter, and his daughter was more important to him as a father than his own life!
For this reason, he could not accept anyone else talking about his daughter.
He could do anything, but not his daughter!
Because of this, Qiu Anping's tone was completely gloomy when he spoke again. At the same time, it caused the atmosphere in the hall to be filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
A conflict could break out at any moment!
"What do I mean?"
Dongfang Gan sneered when he saw Qiu An Ping's expression had darkened. "Qiu An Ping, don't you know what I mean? Don't tell me that you have no idea what your precious daughter has done today! "
In the end, Dongfang Gan shifted his gaze to Qiu Mu Qing who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian. His eyes gleamed coldly as though he was about to devour someone.
"Patriarch!"
At this moment, Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan, said to Qiu An Ping, "Indeed, the Qiu Clan is in the wrong. I know you feel sorry for Eldest Sister, but Eldest Sister has gone too far this time!"
Qiu Anping didn't expect that Qiu Gangyi would step in at this time.
For a moment, his face became increasingly gloomy.
Even the Great Elder of the Qiu Clan was frowning. He felt that Qiu Gang Yi had gone too far.
Only the second elder of the Qiu family didn't react. It was as if Qiu Gang Yi's words were not inappropriate.
"Is Qiu Gang Yi really from the Qiu Clan?"
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he looked at Qiu Gang Yi again. He felt Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan, did not look like a member of the Qiu Clan. Instead, he looked more like a member of the Dongfang Clan.
At this time, it was fine if the people from the Eastern Fang Family were gossiping. After all, they were on different sides.
However, as a member of the Qiu Clan, not only did Qiu Gang Yi not help the Qiu Clan, but he even helped the Dong Fang Family!
Although Duan Lingtian was an outsider to the Qiu Clan, he felt Qiu Gang Yi's words were ill-considered. What a lousy teammate!
"You're right, Second Master of Qiu Clan!"
When Dongfang Gan heard Qiu Gang Yi's words, he took advantage of the situation. He looked at Qiu An Ping and sneered, "It's only because the Second Master of Qiu Clan is less talented than you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be the one sitting in the Clan Leader's seat today!"
Dongfang Gan's words raised Qiu Gang Yi's status and belittled Qiu An Ping's status.
Qiu An Ping's expression darkened when he heard this.
"Hahahaha!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian finally burst out laughing. It was as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Dongfang Gan asked coldly as he looked at Duan Lingtian with killing intent in his eyes.
His voice was not loud, but it was filled with Saint Origin. It drowned out Duan Ling Tian's laughter and clearly entered everyone's ears.
If they were not in the Qiu Clan's main hall, he would have killed this person who humiliated his son!
"I'm laughing at your whimsical imagination!"
Duan Lingtian stopped laughing. Facing Dongfang Gan's snake-like gaze, he was not afraid at all. He said sarcastically, "Qiu Gang Yi is nothing but an ungrateful wretch!"
"No matter how talented a person like him is, once he becomes the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan, he's destined to lead the Qiu Clan into decline. Fortunately, he didn't become the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan. Otherwise, the Qiu Clan would be under the Feng Clan by now."
"As for your Eastern Fang Clan, you'd better not be annihilated by the Qiu Clan and the Feng Clan!"
In the end, Duan Lingtian became more and more unscrupulous. He said Qiu Gang Yi was an ungrateful wretch. If Qiu Gang Yi became the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan, he would have surrendered to the Feng Clan and led the Qiu Clan to become the Feng Clan's pawn.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, everyone was stunned.
Whether it was the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan, Qiu An Ping, or the Grand Elder and Second Elder of Qiu Clan, all of them looked at Duan Lingtian in shock. It was as though Duan Lingtian's words had touched a chord in their hearts.
In the past, Qiu Gang Yi had indeed suggested that the Qiu Clan surrender to the Feng Clan and join forces with the Feng Clan to annihilate the Eastern Fang Clan.
He also thought that even if the Feng Clan became the dominant clan, the Qiu Clan would still be able to get a share of the pie.
However, they rejected his suggestion in the end.
"Li Feng, you're seeking death!"
Qiu Gang Yi could not suppress his anger when he heard Duan Lingtian's mocking words.
As he roared furiously, the Saint Energy in his body stirred and was about to burst out.
"What's wrong? Are you angry because I've guessed what you're thinking? "
Duan Lingtian shifted his gaze from Dongfang Gan to Qiu Gang Yi. He could not help but mock Qiu Gang Yi.
Qiu Gang Yi grew even angrier. It seemed like he was on the verge of breaking down.
It was not hard to imagine.
If Qiu Gang Yi's emotions were to crumble, he would not hesitate to attack Duan Ling Tian as soon as he could.
"How dare you!"
At this moment, a loud roar resounded, echoing continuously in the Qiu Family's main hall, lingering in the air.
The person who shouted was none other than the Second Elder of the Qiu Clan!
The Second Elder of the Qiu Clan looked at Duan Lingtian and said coldly, "Li Feng, you're just a sectless cultivator. What right do you have to shout and humiliate the Qiu Clan's Main Hall?"
A sectless cultivator!
The Clan Leader of the Eastern Fang Clan, Dongfang Gan, brightened when he heard the Second Elder of the Qiu Clan's words.
When they were on their way to the Qiu Clan, they had been worried that the purple-clad young man who had humiliated Dongfang Zhu had an extraordinary background.
If the purple-clad young man had a force that the Eastern Fang Clan could not afford to offend, they would not be able to do anything to him no matter how angry they were. Unless they did not care about the safety of the Eastern Fang Clan!
However, when they heard the Second Elder of the Qiu Clan said the purple-clad young man was just a sectless cultivator, they were relieved.
In their opinion:
They did not need to worry about a sectless cultivator!
"Humiliate the Qiu Clan?"
Duan Ling Tian looked at the Second Elder of Qiu Clan and said coldly, "Senior, as the Second Elder of Qiu Clan, do you think Qiu Gang Yi did the right thing by undermining the Qiu Clan's prestige and boosting the Dongfang Clan's morale?"
Moreover, the Clan Leader and the Grand Elder of the Qiu Clan did not say anything. Don't you think it's inappropriate for a mere Second Elder to say something? "
Duan Lingtian questioned the Second Elder of the Qiu Clan after he finished speaking.
"You … You …"
The Second Elder of the Qiu Clan was livid when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. However, he did not know how to refute Duan Lingtian's words.
How could he refute Duan Lingtian's words?
Should he admit that Qiu Gang Yi did the right thing?
Should he say that he did not overstep his authority?
The Second Elder of the Qiu Clan was one of the three Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses in the Qiu Clan. He was the only one among the three Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses in the Qiu Clan who agreed to force the eldest daughter of the Qiu Clan, Qiu Mu Qing, to marry into the Eastern Fang Clan.
Duan Lingtian had learned about this from Qiu Mu Qing before he entered the Qiu Clan's Main Hall.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian did not have a good impression of the Second Elder of the Qiu Clan.
It would have been fine if the Second Elder of the Qiu Clan did not speak up.
However, now that the Second Elder of the Qiu Clan had spoken up and targeted him, there was no reason for Duan Lingtian to hold back.
"Clan Leader, Grand Elder … I … I'm just stating the facts. I have no intention of diminishing the prestige of the Qiu Clan to boost the morale of the Qiu Clan!"
Qiu Gang Yi's expression changed drastically when he was accused by Duan Lingtian. He hastily looked at the Clan Leader and Grand Elder of the Qiu Clan as he tried to defend himself. It was as though he was afraid he would infuriate the Clan Leader and Grand Elder if he was too slow.
"Tsk tsk …"
At this moment, Dongfang Gan who had remained silent for a long time suddenly chuckled. He had a mocking expression on his face as he said, "It seems like the Qiu Clan has really declined. I can't believe a sectless cultivator dares to cause a ruckus in the Qiu Clan's Main Hall!
If this was the Eastern Fang Clan, a sectless cultivator like this would have died a few hundred times already! "
Dongfang Gan's eyes were filled with killing intent and disdain when he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Is that so?"
Duan Ling Tian met his gaze without the slightest bit of fear as he sneered and replied with a question.
"Clan Leader of Qiu Clan!"
Duan Lingtian's fearless gaze further infuriated Dongfang Gan. Dongfang Gan's expression darkened as he looked at Qiu An Ping, the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan.
"As long as you hand this sectless cultivator over to me and let me take him away from the Qiu Clan, the Eastern Fang Clan will let bygones be bygones!"
