The Fang clansmen grunted in response, then all of them fell to their knees, wailing to the heavens and wailing to the earth.
This desolate and sorrowful mood made the two Fang Family Patriarchs realize that something was amiss.
"What are you crying for? Stop it! Men bleed, not tears. There are no cowards in the Fang Clan. The sky hasn't fallen yet, so what are you crying for?"
The Fang Clan's ninth forefather was vexed by the sight of them, so he roared at them.
Because he knew that Thirteenth was no longer around.
At that thought, he couldn't help but feel anger and hatred. That damned Xiao Yang! If it weren't for the Poison Sect's head elder's orders, they would've charged out and killed Xiao Yang. Their Fang Clan had never suffered such humiliation in a hundred years.
"Wuuu, Ninth Forefather, Tenth Forefather, that bastard Xiao Yang killed the Thirteenth Forefather! You have to avenge him! Wuuu …."
The Fang clansmen wailed in agony, their expressions sorrowful.
"The Thirteenth Forefather died too pitifully. He died to his own spear and was burned to ashes by heavenly fire. We can't even erect a monument to him now."
"That bastard Xiao Yang went too far. He was so vicious and didn't give us any face. Forefather, you have to get justice for the Thirteenth Forefather. You can't let his death be in vain."
The members of the Fang Clan wept endlessly. Snot and tears flowed out of their noses. As their cries rang out, the other members of the Fang Clan who heard the news rushed over one after another. Then, they all knelt in the hall and begged the two Patriarchs to take action and teach Xiao Yang a lesson.
However, the Fang Clan's two remaining forefathers remained silent and didn't say a word.
Their faces were dark and ugly, and their eyes were filled with rage and hatred.
If it wasn't for the Poison Sect's head elder's special instructions, they would've taken action long ago. How could they have waited for so many Fang Clan members to come begging for help?
"Alright, stop crying here. What are you talking about? Disperse, this matter is over. None of you are allowed to find trouble with Xiao Yang for any reason. This is the unanimous order of our two ancestors. If we find out that you have gone to find trouble with Xiao Yang, the light punishment will be to expel you from the clan, and the heavy punishment will be to kill you directly. Don't blame us for being merciless."
Said the Ninth Fang Clan Patriarch in a dignified voice. His voice was so loud that all members of the Fang Clan could hear him.
He trusted the Poison Sect's head elder's decision.
The 10th Fang Clan Patriarch slowly stood up as well. He swept his gaze across the Fang Clan members and coldly said, "Did you all hear that? As long as you are a member of the Fang Clan, you must strictly follow the instructions of the Ninth Ancestor. You are not allowed to make trouble for Xiao Yang. This matter is over. "
Sigh.
After making the announcement, he sighed helplessly and sullenly. He returned to his practice room and began to cultivate in seclusion.
The Fang Clan was the hegemon of Fang City, a powerful existence that controlled the entire city. Now that they had suffered such humiliation, even a patriarch like him found it hard to accept.
However, the head elder of the Poison Sect was the true number one figure in the Fang Clan. Thus, he had no choice but to obey, unless he wanted to become enemies with the head elder.
"Wahhh, our Fang Clan members are so sullen and useless. Thirteenth Ancestor, I'm sorry …."
Some of the Fang Clan members with ulterior motives couldn't help but wail in grief. They felt that the Thirteenth Ancestor wasn't worth it. They wailed bitterly, each cry more miserable than the last, each one more unpleasant to the ear.
They spoke the hearts of the Fang Clan members. Ever since they had taken control of the city, they had never suffered such humiliation and setbacks.
But the two patriarchs ignored them, so they could only cry and vent their feelings.
The Fang Clan members were dismissed one after another, allowing them to return to their respective places. Time would allow them to recover from the wounds in their hearts.
Once the Fang Clan members had left, the Fang Clan's ninth and tenth patriarchs appeared in a secret underground chamber.
Someone had been sitting there for a long time. If anyone from the Poison Sect had been here, they would have recognized him at first glance. This was the head elder of the Poison Sect.
"Old Ancestor."
After entering the secret chamber, the ninth and tenth patriarchs immediately bowed to the head elder, not daring to show the slightest bit of disrespect.
In terms of seniority, the head elder of the Poison Sect was the most ancient existence in the Fang Clan. He was ranked third, the third patriarch of the Fang Clan. He was practically the patriarch of the two patriarchs.
"Mm, you've done well."
The Poison Sect's head elder spoke indifferently, giving them a gratified look.
Then, he slowly rose to his feet and prepared to leave.
Just thinking about this made the Fang Clan's ninth patriarch feel sullen. He said aggrievedly, "Old Ancestor, is that Xiao Yang really that powerful? Even we can only suffer in silence. "
He really couldn't accept it. Even though he was very domineering in front of the clan members and told them not to provoke Xiao Yang, in secret, he also wanted to take revenge on Xiao Yang to protect the face of the Fang Clan.
But the Poison Sect's head elder was suppressing this matter, so he could only swallow his grievances.
The Fang Clan's tenth patriarch was also unwilling to accept this. He looked at the Poison Sect's head elder with grief and indignation.
This was no longer a small matter of some clan member being injured, but the fall of an esteemed old ancestor. That was a peak battle strength. To the Fang Clan, the sacrifice was too great. The price they had to pay was too great. It was almost unbearable.
The Poison Sect's head elder sighed. Naturally, he knew what the two clan members were thinking. Frowning, he explained softly, "Xiao Yang is destined to rise in the Poison Sect. His world is very big, not something the Poison Sect Realm or the Celestial Sect Realm can trap. He's definitely not someone the Four Domains can satisfy. His world is outside. Just wait and see. Trust me, my eyes are never wrong."
For a peerless genius like Xiao Yang, you could either kill him directly or treat him as a friend. Otherwise, you couldn't do either.
As far as the Fang Clan was concerned, they couldn't kill him. After all, the Poison Sect didn't belong to the head elder alone. There was still the sect master above him. If they killed Xiao Yang, the Poison Sect Master would definitely be enraged. At that time, he'd join forces with the other clans to destroy the Fang Clan. That was very likely. So, for the sake of the Fang Clan, they could only endure.
Fortunately, the Poison Sect's head elder's relationship with Xiao Yang wasn't too bad. Adding on the fact that he'd taken in Lan Jiaoye and Gu Qianqian as disciples, it could be considered a step closer to Xiao Yang. As long as Xiao Yang amazed the world with a single brilliant feat, their Fang Clan would naturally rise as well.
"Yes, we believe in the Ancestor."
The Fang Clan's ninth and tenth patriarchs lowered their heads in acknowledgment.
Without the Poison Sect's head elder, they wouldn't have their current lifespans and status. The only reason they hadn't fallen like the other ancestors was because of the Poison Sect's head elder.
Thus, they were one hundred percent obedient to the Poison Sect's head elder's arrangements and decisions.
