News of Xie Jiao's death hadn't spread yet. At the very least, no one from the Xie Family had come to the floating island to denounce them.
But Han Jia didn't treat this as a small matter.
In truth, the Xie and Liu Families, which were ranked last, didn't have much say in the sea of time.
Although these two families had Sages, they did not have a deep foundation. In the fierce competition, these two families were even at risk of falling into the sea of time.
Powerful families had to have Saints, but a Saint didn't necessarily make them a powerful family!
In the divine realm, there were a few "pseudo-powerful" families. These families had Saints, but their combined strength didn't have the right to enter the sea of time, nor did they have their own floating island.
So to become a powerful family, it didn't depend on a single Saint, but on the combined strength of the entire family.
Han Jia didn't fear the Xie Family, and losing a few core disciples wouldn't be a big deal. But the Xie Family had a good relationship with some of the other powerful families on the floating island, and Han Jia was completely unreasonable. If the Xie Family chose to harass them, it would be troublesome.
Han Jia had to prepare in advance, and before that, Han Tianxiao had to clarify a few things.
"Report your name," Smiling Sky, who was in the middle, said faintly.
Although his voice was calm, there was an irresistible majesty in it. His voice echoed like thunder in Luo Zheng's ears, as if he were the only god in the world.
This was the bearing a god should have.
Luo Zheng looked up at the family leader. This was the first time he'd seen such a person. Although he was shocked, the muscles on his face seemed to have rusted. There was no expression to speak of.
"Luo Tianxing," Luo Zheng replied calmly.
"Do you know why you've been tied up here?" Han Tianxiao asked.
Hearing this question, Luo Zheng felt a bit gloomy.
It turned out that the top experts of the divine realm's powerful families had a lot of nonsense to say. Since Han Jia had tied him up, it was naturally because he'd killed Xie Jiao. Why ask such an obvious question again? Could it be that these True Gods wanted to hold a trial?
"I find it strange. You're all top experts of the divine realm. Why have you tied me up like this? Are you afraid that a measly Proving Divinity expert like me will escape?" Luo Zheng suddenly asked.
Under such a rhetorical question, Smiling Heaven's face suddenly froze slightly.
Those who could step into Spirit Heart Palace, aside from the core members of the Han family, were all upper-class true gods. In Spirit Heart Palace, they had an oppressive aura. Even ordinary true gods would be scared. They would not dare speak.
Who would have thought that a mere Proof of Divinity martial artist would be able to restrain himself so freely, completely unaffected by the atmosphere of the scene!
Now, Han Tianxiao was a little convinced that Luo Tianxing really had the strength to kill Xie Jiao.
"How dare you! He actually dares to be so unreasonable in front of the Han family's family head! "an upper True God shouted coldly.
The voice was like a knife, shooting towards Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng felt a sharp pain on his face and chest, and his ears were buzzing.
"Puchi!"
The sound pierced through Luo Zheng's eardrums, and two streams of blood shot out from his left and right ear holes.
Although Luo Zheng was temporarily deaf, there was no trace of fear on his face. He continued, "Since you brought me here, you must have something to ask me. Since you've pierced my ears, I'm afraid I can only be deaf from now on!"
When the upper True God heard Luo Zheng's words, how could he reprimand him? But after thinking about it, this brat's eardrums were shattered. Obviously, he could not hear him. For a moment, he did not know how to deal with Luo Zheng …
On the other hand, Han Tianxiao smiled, not minding Luo Zheng's rudeness at all. He stretched out his hand, and a green light spread out from his palm. The green light turned into a light that illuminated the entire Spirit Heart Palace. The moment it came into contact with Luo Zheng, he felt a warm feeling coming from the surface of his body. At the same time, the pain in his ears disappeared, and his deafened ears returned to normal.
"You are the first junior who dares to speak like this in the Spirit Heart Palace," Han Tianxiao said slowly as he sized up Luo Zheng. "Some people are brave, and are not afraid of evil. Some people pretend to be calm, and deliberately do shocking things in order to gain appreciation. I don't know if you are the first type, or the second type?"
Without waiting for Luo Zheng to answer, Han Tianxiao continued, "But this is not important … Get up!" Finished speaking, he stretched out two fingers and lightly pinched. The ropes binding Luo Zheng's back instantly broke, and Luo Zheng felt his body relax. He had actually untied himself.
After getting up, Han Tianxiao became much more direct. "I'm sure you know why I summoned you to the Spirit Heart Palace today. A junior from the Xie Clan came to our floating island to make trouble. If he died, then so be it. Our Han Clan will not pity his life. However, if the Xie Clan pursues this matter, our Han Clan is not willing to take responsibility for it. Although you are an outer family disciple, our Han Clan has decided to give you a chance. If it were you, what would you do?"
The dignified patriarch of the Han Clan actually gave Luo Zheng a chance to choose. This was already an unprecedented preferential treatment. If it had been anyone else, or any true god, who had killed Xie Jiao, Han Jia would have immediately denied any involvement and handed the true god over to be dealt with.
So when Han Tianxiao said this, the upper echelons of the Han Clan all revealed looks of surprise. This was not Han Tianxiao's style at all!
Han Tianxiao naturally didn't want to go through so much trouble.
However, his precious daughter, Biluo, had told him again and again how Luo Tianxing had helped her and how he had provoked those rich kids because of her and Han Chuyue. In the end, he had no choice but to kill Xie Jiao, hoping Han Clan would protect Luo Tianxing.
At the same time, Han Cangyan had also spoken to Han Tianxiao, tactfully passing on Han Liusu's words. The eldest princess' meaning was that if they handed Luo Tianxing over to the Xie Clan, and Luo Tianxing was executed by the Xie Clan, Han Liusu would choose to die with him!
Several core disciples of the Han Clan had come out to protect this outsider to this extent!
This made Han Tianxiao very interested. He wanted to see just what kind of ability this kid had. Did he have the qualifications?
Luo Zheng took a deep breath and looked around. He then slowly said, "In all fairness, if the Han Clan hands me over to the Xie Clan, I'm afraid it will be the stupidest thing the Han Clan has done in this God Era!"
When these words came out, the faces of the Han Clan's upper echelons were filled with shock.
On the left side of Laughing in Heaven, a middle-aged brawny man wearing scarlet red armor laughed a few times, "Little fellow, are you confused?" Or do you think too highly of yourself? Perhaps you have some talent, but my Han Clan is filled with talents. How could we lose an outsider like you? Having confidence is a good thing, but being too arrogant will make you a laughingstock! "
The others also smiled and chimed in one after another. This little fellow is really arrogant beyond belief.
They had lived for so many God Eras. What kind of genius hadn't they seen?
Han Tianxiao's smile also slowly disappeared. People who were too arrogant were destined to be disliked. He coldly said, "Perhaps I'm wrong. You don't belong to those two types of people. You're just an arrogant person who doesn't know what you're talking about."
Luo Zheng also knew that his words were destined to make people hate him, but he didn't want to die. He wanted to have a chance to prove his worth. His worth had to be great enough for Han Clan to protect him!
Perhaps Han Liusu and Han Chuyue would make a move, but they might not be able to stop Han Clan's decision.
He could guess why Han Tianxiao wanted to see him. He wanted to measure whether or not he had that kind of value!
At this time, a gentle and elegant voice slowly drifted over. "I believe that handing this little guy over to the Xie Clan is the stupidest thing Han Clan has done in this God Era!"
As the voice fell, another person appeared in the Spirit Heart Palace. It was Han Clan's secondary saint, Aunt Han Jiu. She looked at Luo Zheng with a smile and said, "I was wondering why you didn't go to the Arena of Gods today. You actually came here to slack off. Come back with me quickly."
(After catching a bad cold this month, I've been troubled by inflammation for almost a month. My mental state is a little weak. Sorry, I'll try to reduce the number of wrong words in the future. But I still want to defend myself. Everyone's mental state has its ups and downs. This is especially true for someone who wrote one day in two years without a single day of rest. Moreover, towards the end of the writing, there are some things that are very difficult to deal with. Perhaps it's because this is the first time I've written such a long story. Please forgive me!
