When Yue Yang returned to the Yue Clan Castle with Princess Qian Qian, he used a horse carriage to bring Yue Yu and Yue Bing out. He realized that the two groups of people who were confronting each other had moved to the Yue Clan Village at the foot of the mountain.
The Yue Clan was on the left, while the Xie Clan was on the right.
Other than Elder Yue Hai and a few elders, the substitute Clan Master Yue Shan and Second Uncle Yue Ling had also rushed back after hearing the news.
However, the eldest grandson Yue Tian and Yue Yan were not present. They seemed to be protecting them on purpose.
Jun Wu You and the people from the Four Great Clans were present. It was similar to the New Year. Feng Xiao Yun from the Feng Clan, Xue Wen Dao from the Xue Clan, Yan Qian Zhong from the Yan Clan and Feng Kuang, who was the commander of Jun Wu You's Imperial Guards. The people from the Four Great Sects had also arrived. Yue Yang only recognised one of them, and that was Yue Feng's teacher, Elder Ku Ming. Actually, Yue Yang did not recognise the other two.
Of the other two, one had red hair like a lion, tall and sturdy. His eyes shone brightly and he looked extremely powerful.
The man standing beside the red hair like a lion was gentle and elegant. There were green dragon tattoos on his snow white robe. Yue Yang was slightly startled. It seemed that this was the Eastern Ocean Crystal Palace's Dragon Ambassador. Only the rankers from the Eastern Ocean Crystal Palace would have different coloured dragon tattoos on their white robes.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. It was said that the red dragon tattoo was already a Level 6 Junior Elder.
This Dragon Ambassador with green dragon tattoos was not an ordinary person. He was at least a Level 7 [Overlord] ranker.
As for the red hair like a lion, it seemed that he was a ranker from the Western Lion Pagoda. This was because the Northern Moon Fairy Pavilion would not recruit any males. The fairies from the Fairy Pavilion would also not participate in worldly battles. Yue Yang's Level 4 [Divine Vision] swept across the two of them. A faint smile appeared on his lips. He turned to look at Elder Ku Ming. He felt that this old man was hiding his strength. He was not a bad old man. Elder Ku Ming did not sit in front of a horizontal table like the other notaries. Instead, he sat on a rock. His position made Yue Yang take a few more glances.
There were countless experts on the Xie Clan's side.
Yue Yang realized that excluding Xue Tu and Xue Nu, there were five Overlords. As for Level 6 [Elders], there were close to twenty of them.
It was even to the extent that there were two old geezers that had attained level eight Emperors.
These two people had arrogant expressions on their faces. They were also the only Rankers on the Xie Clan's side who had seats and tables to serve tea. Everyone from the Xie Clan was extremely respectful towards them. Even Xie Tu and Xie Nu had to lower their heads slightly when they spoke.
The two old men looked alike, as if they were twins.
Both of them had white hair and long eyebrows, white hair and a youthful complexion. Their appearances were benevolent and kind, and they had the air of immortals, as if they were old immortals who did not belong to the mortal world … Yue Yang reckoned that if it wasn't for the old cunning fox, the eagle-eyed Xia Hou Wei Lie and the others standing beside Elder Yue Hai, the Xie Clan would have already attacked them. After all, their strength was much stronger than the Yue Clan's side.
Among the Yue Clan's troops, Yue Yang discovered that the two Rankers that he had seen in the White Stone City's Warm House had also arrived. They were standing beside Elder Yue Hai.
One was as powerful as a lion, while the other had a hidden aura like a leopard.
The two of them were not very eye-catching in the crowd, but in Yue Yang's eyes, their strength was not ordinary.
The Zhang Fei-like Eastern Sky King had also arrived. When he saw Yue Yang driving the horse carriage down the mountain slowly, he flew over impatiently and patted Yue Yang's shoulder heavily, "Yue Clan's Third Brother, don't worry. You are my daughter's man, I will protect you. Even if others want to bully you, there's no way!"
"I am only your daughter's Personal Guard Captain. It would be better if Your Highness could explain things clearly." Yue Yang sweated profusely. Luckily this fellow did not say that he was his man. Otherwise, others would suspect that there was something wrong with his sexual orientation. However, the Eastern Sky King did not mind. He patted Yue Yang's shoulder again, "What are you saying? You and Little Fallen Flowers will be a couple sooner or later. I can protect you in advance!"
These words did not sound like a prince, but more like an underworld boss.
Of course, there were probably no rankers who knew what kind of treasure the Eastern Sky King was. Hence, everyone did not find it strange at all. Instead, they felt that it was normal.
It was the old man on the left who was sitting arrogantly and drinking tea. He snorted slightly, "Does Your Highness' words represent Tian Luo Kingdom?"
"Old man Qing Song, others might be afraid of you, but I don't care about you. Aren't you just a Level 8 Intermediate Emperor? What's there to be proud of? I think you two old fools will never be able to become a Level 9 Saint. You will die of old age in a Level 8 tomb. What's wrong with me protecting him? This is my son-in-law. If you dare to touch a single hair on his head, I will immediately bring my troops to attack your Zi Jin Kingdom. Let's see if your Zi Jin Kingdom's Wolf Cavalry is stronger or my Storm Cavalry is stronger! "The Eastern Sky King was comparable to Zhang Fei. His tone was like a barrel of gunpowder that had been ignited.
He was the second most powerful person in Tian Luo Kingdom, only below the Emperor Hua Xu Ri.
The Tian Luo Emperor Hua Xu Ri did not like to deal with political affairs. Most of them were handed over to his ministers. Hence, the most famous person in Tian Luo Kingdom was the Eastern Sky King.
The Eastern Sky King was originally the crown prince, but he was a battle maniac. He disliked political affairs even more than Hua Xu Ri. He even hated living in the Imperial Palace. He always felt that it was a huge prison. Hence, he voluntarily abdicated and passed the throne to his younger brother Hua Xu Ri. He became the Eastern Sky King and lived a carefree life.
It could be said that even if the Xie Clan or any other forces could destroy the Yue Clan Castle, they would definitely not dare to touch the Eastern Sky King.
If the Eastern Sky King was harmed, the Tian Luo Kingdom would definitely send out all the elites to avenge him.
"There is no reason in this world. Let's talk about reason first!" The old cunning fox quickly told the Eastern Sky King to calm down. After all, the Emperor Jun Wu You was still sitting in the middle. The Four Great Clans and Four Great Sects were all present. He had to give them some face. As for the Xie Clan, although the two old men were unhappy, they did not want to argue with the Eastern Sky King to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The City Master of the Blade Peak Mountain City, Yue Shan's best friend in the past, the current Clan Master of the Xie Clan, Xie Tao, stood out from the crowd on the right.
Following him were two guards who were carrying a stretcher.
On top of the stretcher, there was a corpse that was too horrible to look at …
That corpse was Xie Qian Qiu, whom Yue Yang had ruthlessly beaten up and whom Hui Tai Lang had eaten until he was half full. In order to let him die a more painful death, Yue Yang had even crushed a Healing Crystal to preserve his last breath. Even if Xie Qian Qiu moved back to the Xie Clan, he would not die so easily. Yue Yang saw that there was an additional finger mark between his eyebrows. He reckoned that it was an attack by an expert from the Xie Clan to prevent him from dying a more painful death.
Xie Tao's face was filled with grief. Wiping his tears, he bowed to Jun Wu You and said, "Your Majesty, when Your Majesty had sent me to guard the Blade Peak Mountain City, I had been working hard for more than ten years, not daring to slack off for even a day. That day, Your Majesty had personally acted as a matchmaker and betrothed the Yue Clan's Second Miss to my son. It should have been a match made in heaven. The marriage between the Xue and Yue Clan was my greatest wish. I never thought that my son would meet his end today … Your Majesty, please help me! If the Yue Clan wanted to break off the marriage, although it was against the rules, I would still reluctantly agree to it. However, I never thought that my son would be beaten to death by the Yue Clan's Second Miss and her adulterer just because he had witnessed their shameful actions. This is the death of a young man before a young man. I am heartbroken, I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice for me! "
Looking at his tearful face, if outsiders did not know the truth, they might really be deceived by him.
The Xie Clan's only regret was that Xie Qian Qiu's bad reputation had spread far and wide. The Yue Clan's Second Miss had always been gentle and virtuous. Their actions seemed to be like a cornered dog biting the wall.
Jun Wu You gave Xie Tao a seat, but did not say anything else.
On the other hand, the Green Dragon Ambassador from the Eastern Ocean Crystal Palace looked at the corpse suspiciously and asked, "Clan Master Xie, you said that the Yue Clan's Second Miss colluded with the adulterer to kill your son. Do you have any evidence? Can you describe the process of his death in detail? Everything needs proof. Where is your evidence?"
"Dragon Ambassador Bi Bo, my son and Miss Juan Juan met the Yue Clan's Second Miss and her adulterer on the road. The two of them hooked up and committed adultery. It was unbearable to look at. My son came out in anger, but he was not strong enough. He was raped to death by the adulterer. His corpse has not even turned cold. Everyone can see how he was murdered. My Xie Clan has both witnesses and material evidence. Miss Juan Juan's arm was chopped off by the adulterer. She was lucky enough to escape and is still in shock. If Dragon Ambassador Bi Bo promises to protect Miss Juan Juan from the enemy's evil hands, I will invite Miss Juan Juan out and let her describe the tragedy of my son's death to everyone … "Xie Tao seemed to be sad as he spoke, tears rolling down his face again.
"Please invite Miss Juan Juan out. I, Dragon Ambassador Bi Bo and Brother Ku Ming will guarantee that the witness will definitely not be harmed." The red-haired man who looked like a lion gave an affirmative reply in a booming voice.
The bewitching woman whose arm was chopped off by Yue Yang came out. She first greeted Jun Wu You, then greeted the warriors from the Four Great Sects and Four Great Clans.
Then, she recounted what had happened at that time in a tearful voice.
In her words, Yue Yang was an unpardonable murderer who had committed a heinous crime. His methods were cruel, his actions were outrageous, and he belonged to the category of beasts in human clothing. On the contrary, Xie Qian Qiu had changed from a notorious school belle killer to a righteous and kind-hearted hero. She almost didn't say that Xie Qian Qiu did a good deed every three days …
In short, after her bloody and tearful accusation, even Yue Yang himself was a little doubtful whether he was an evil person who had committed a heinous crime.
Princess Sissi almost clapped her hands and cheered. She had seen countless people pretending to cry, but it was the first time she had seen someone acting like this woman.
After hearing the bewitching woman's accusation, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
They all felt that it was a little inconceivable. The Yue Clan's Second Miss was such a gentle and pure girl, how could she have an adulterer?
This kind of thing should have happened to Xie Qian Qiu. If Xie Qian Qiu was ungrateful and abandoned his fiancée, then it was possible that he had beaten the Yue Clan's Second Miss to death.
What exactly was going on?
"Miss Juan Juan, everyone has heard your tearful complaint. Now, among the Yue Clan's crowd, have you seen the figure of the adulterer? If there is that person, can you point him out?" Jun Wu You asked indifferently.
"Yes, it's that person." The bewitching woman had already seen Yue Yang, because Yue Yang was sitting on top of the horse carriage in a flashy manner.
The bewitching woman pointed at Yue Yang, her eyes shooting out a vicious light. She gritted her teeth and snorted, "It's him who chopped off my hand, and it's him who beat Young Master Qian Qiu to death. It's him, he's the adulterer. I will definitely not make a mistake."
When she pointed, everyone who knew Yue Yang was stunned.
Yue Yang smiled and nodded with certainty, "That's right, I'm the adulterer."
Rumble!
Fatty Hai, Ye Kong, Li Brothers and the others were all shocked to the ground. Even Xia Hou Wei Lie, the serious eagle-eyed man, was shocked by Yue Yang's words.
Feng Xiao Yun from the Feng Clan and Xue Wen Dao from the Xue Clan were stunned. Yan Qian Zhong from the Yan Clan had already covered his face and could not bear to watch anymore. According to their personal relationship, Yan Qian Zhong was more inclined to help the Xie Clan, because the Yue Clan was ranked third and had always stood in front of the Yan Clan. Yan Qian Zhong would definitely be happy to see the Xie Clan challenge the Yue Clan. No matter who won or lost, the Yan Clan would be able to reap the benefits.
Now that the bewitching woman had pointed out that the adulterer of the Yue Clan's Second Miss was the Yue Clan's Third Young Master, Yan Qian Li almost wanted to hide under the table.
Blunder, the biggest blunder!
The Yue Clan's people used all their strength to hold back their laughter. As for the Eastern Sky King, he did not care. He was already crying from laughing so hard that he almost lost his breath.
Xie Tao did not know who Yue Yang was, so he felt a little strange. Could it be that something was wrong?
Xie Tu and Xie Nu had seen Yue Yang before. They knew that something was wrong, but it was not convenient for them to say anything now. They were so anxious that they kept stomping their feet. It would have been better if Lady Juan Juan did not say anything, but she insisted on saying this. Now that she had identified the culprit, the whole thing would be ruined! No matter how fast they were, it was already too late to stop her. They did not think that the adulterer she identified was that brat. Otherwise, they would have killed her with a single slash. It would have been better if she did not tell them.
Xue Wen Dao and Feng Xiao Yun looked at each other again. Finally, Feng Xiao Yun asked, "Lady Juan Juan, are you sure that the adulterer was the one sitting on the roof of the carriage?"
"Even if he turned into ashes, I would still recognize him! Moreover, he admitted it himself. Your Majesty, please uphold justice for this weak girl! "The flirtatious girl cried and kowtowed to Jun Wu You.
"This matter … Xie Tao, it's not convenient for me to say it. Could it be a misunderstanding?" Jun Wu You looked at Xie Tao.
"Your Majesty, how could this be a misunderstanding? My son's corpse is right in front of you. Your humble servant also knows that Your Majesty and the Old Marshal have a close relationship. However, this matter concerns the Xue and Yue Clan's son and wife being killed. Your Majesty cannot just sit back and do nothing!" Xie Tao immediately knelt in front of Jun Wu You. He pointed at Yue Yang and said, "The murderer is right in front of you. If Your Majesty cannot bear to do it, please step back and let your humble servant and this traitor fight to the death!"
"City Master Xie, the adulterer that Juan Juan mentioned just now … do you know who he is?" Xue Wen Dao wondered if the Xie Clan's people were all brainless.
"He, who is he?" Xie Tao was stunned. He seemed to have heard from Eastern Sky King that the brat was his son-in-law. This was indeed a little troublesome. Jun Wu You was not willing to offend Eastern Sky King, but this brat was Yue Clan's Second Miss's adulterer. To be able to become the link between Tian Luo and Da Xia, could it be that this brat had a very special identity?
"You are accusing Yue Clan's Second Miss's adulterer. The young man on the roof of the carriage, he is Yue Clan's Second Miss's younger brother, the Yue Clan's Third Young Master!" Feng Xiao Yun almost scolded them for being idiots. If they wanted to find an excuse to start a war, they should have found a better one. Such a stupid accusation made people feel ashamed for them.
"Ah …" Xie Tao was completely dumbfounded.
