Even if he wanted to continue pursuing the responsibility of Xiao Yang and the Lan family, he could not do that.
Moreover, Xiao Yang was a terrifying person. How could the patriarch of the Zhang family offend him so easily? Not to mention, he had the support of the Lan family.
They had no proof for everything they said. They were only guesses.
As a result, there were many things that could be done.
"Mm, I have a rough idea of what happened. You all no longer have any cultivation. Every day you stay here is another day of danger. I'll send you all away first. As for Martial Yang City, I'll deal with it personally."
The patriarch of the Zhang family spoke without any room for doubt. He had even mentioned his identity as the patriarch, just in case they argued back.
The grand elder of the Zhang family was bitter. He knew that as long as he lost his cultivation, he would not even be able to compare to the regular clansmen.
He said indifferently, "Yes, I'll follow the patriarch's orders."
Zhang Dalong's face was gloomy, as if he had returned to his days of drinking to drown his sorrows. He was lifeless and dispirited. He said, "Yes, sir."
On the same day, the grand elder and Zhang Dalong were sent away from Martial Yang city. After they returned to the Zhang family in Qingyang city, there were people who suggested removing them from their positions as elders one after another. After all, people without cultivation were nowhere near as spirited as before. They could only hand over the matters and authority of the clan to others.
They had ended up in a situation where they had to retire and return home. It could be regarded as a good ending.
Martial Yang city.
The patriarch of the Zhang family paid a personal visit and found the current leader of the Lan family, Lan Xingmeng.
He said nothing at all, directly looking for Xiao Yang. Lan Xingmeng could not help but become rather nervous and fearful. After all, he was the patriarch of the Zhang family. He represented the Zhang family's attitude. Nothing good would come out of him directly looking for Xiao Yang this time.
Lan Xingmeng knew she could not avoid something like this. Even if she could avoid it, she would not be able to avoid it forever. As a result, she called for Xiao Yang.
The two of them met in the side hall.
"You're Xiao Yang?"
"You're the current patriarch of the Zhang family?"
The two of them asked each other. Their gazes clashed and began a confrontation. Neither of them showed weakness to the other.
What an interesting kid.
The Patriarch of the Zhang Family thought to himself. He had been in a high position for many years and had a majestic aura around him. However, this Xiao Yang was not afraid of him at all. This was truly rare, not to mention that he was a fifth level Martial Arts Grandmaster. He had released a little bit of his cultivation aura, but it did not crush Xiao Yang. He did not even alarm Xiao Yang. This was simply unbelievable.
"Xiao Yang, you killed Zhang Zihe. Do you admit your mistake?"
The head of the Zhang Clan questioned Xiao Yang sternly.
Xiao Yang sat in his seat and replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Everything requires evidence. If I say you killed him, then you killed him?"
He had a well-thought-out plan and held the pearl of wisdom in his hands. His rebuttal left the other party speechless.
The Patriarch of the Zhang Clan naturally did not have any evidence. His question was only a test. But what kind of person was Xiao Yang? He was someone who possessed the memories of the Ancient Poison Venerable of his past life. He had experienced more than he had eaten salt. How could he be so easily scared into giving an answer?
The Patriarch of the Zhang Clan did not pursue this matter. If he continued to pursue this matter, it would only make him seem too vulgar and boring. After all, this was a matter without evidence.
"Xiao Yang, then you have heavily injured two elders of the Zhang Clan and even crippled their cultivation. You do not deny this, do you?"
He questioned, his expression cold and arrogant.
If one reason cannot subdue you, then I will change to another reason. I do not believe you will not accept this.
"I, Xiao Yang, naturally do not deny the things that I have done."
Xiao Yang was calm and natural. He did not feel guilty at all.
"You treated the elders of the Zhang Clan in such a manner for no reason. Don't you owe me an explanation?" When the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan said this, he was somewhat angry. He even released the cultivation of a fifth level Martial Grandmaster. A terrifying aura instantly crushed towards Xiao Yang. He wanted to give Xiao Yang a wake-up call so that he would not be so arrogant.
Xiao Yang was still fearless. He laughed coldly and the corner of his mouth curled up into a contemptuous smile. He also released his cultivation of a fourth level Martial Grandmaster. His powerful aura contended against the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan. For a moment, he was not at a disadvantage.
"What, fourth level Martial Grandmaster?"
The Patriarch of the Zhang Clan could feel Xiao Yang's cultivation. He was so shocked that his expression changed drastically. He immediately stood up. He really did not expect Xiao Yang to have such a cultivation. One must know that Xiao Yang was only in his teens. If he was allowed to grow, he would definitely become a terrifying powerful expert.
He sucked in a breath of cold air. After being shocked for a while, he slowly recovered his emotions.
He then heard Xiao Yang snort coldly, "Someone wanted to kill you, so you killed the enemy first. Is that wrong?"
The Patriarch of the Zhang Clan frowned. He did not know what Xiao Yang meant. After thinking about it, he replied, "That's right."
The truth was like that. Someone wanted to kill you, so you killed them in turn. You definitely were not wrong. You could not have just stood there and waited for others to kill you.
If his answer was wrong, then he had reason to believe that Xiao Yang would immediately attack him. Once he fought back, it would prove that he did not mean what he said.
Xiao Yang could not help but feel proud. He smiled and said, "That's right. The two elders of the Zhang Clan wanted to kill me. Logically speaking, I killed them. But the problem is that I was benevolent and only destroyed their evil cultivation. I did not kill them. You, on the other hand, not only are you not grateful, you even want to blame me and force me to admit my mistake. What kind of logic is this?"
"Have you ever thought about my feelings? I am the victim here."
Xiao Yang coldly questioned the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan.
This made the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan feel awkward and his expression turned ugly.
This was because he came here to denounce Zhang Zihe. First, he wanted to seek justice for Zhang Zihe. Second, he wanted to uphold justice for the two elders of the Zhang Clan. However, he did not expect to be defeated by Xiao Yang. This made him very angry and he had a feeling that he could not vent his anger.
"Xiao Yang, your eloquence is truly extraordinary. Alright, let's not talk about the truth. You know what happened, and so do I."
The Patriarch of the Zhang Clan said coldly.
Then, he continued, "I heard that you are also an alchemist and your alchemy skills are even higher than Zhang Zihe's. Just nice, I want to exchange pointers with you. How about it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lan Xingmeng's expression turned serious. Everyone knew that the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan was extremely skilled in alchemy. If Xiao Yang agreed, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
She immediately stood out and reminded, "Patriarch of the Zhang Clan, you are the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan and an elder. Your alchemy skills are unquestionable. How can you bully someone of the younger generation?"
She was speaking up for Xiao Yang. She did not want Xiao Yang to be at a disadvantage.
