I can do it, right?
"It's him … …"
When the people in the hall heard this, they were no longer able to make any expressions that could express their emotions.
They watched as the former Disciplinary Elder pointed his finger at the Old Master, who had just returned to his seat not too long ago, with an expression on the verge of breaking down.
"Unfilial son! You unfilial son!"
The old man hadn't even warmed his seat yet. He grabbed his walking stick and prepared to attack the man on the ground.
Xia Yingqiu glanced meaningfully at Xia Yingda. His older brother tossed a few stones to the ground.
A cage-like chain wrapped around the old man. He stood up and said, "Great-grandfather, please calm down.
"Great-grandfather, don't be impatient. Great-grandfather has just begun …"
Bang.
The walking stick struck the walls of the cage with a loud thud.
"Alright, Xia Yingda, you've really got some guts. You even dare to lock up your great-grandfather."
"Great-grandfather, please forgive me. Right now, Great-grandfather is our only lead. I can't let you do anything to him, and we can't do anything to you either. Restraining you inside is the best solution, "said Xia Yingda courteously.
Xia Yingda replied politely as he bowed to the old man.
"Please forgive me if I've offended you."
"Alright, then I'd like to hear what else this unfilial son has to say." The moment he finished speaking, the old man became especially calm as he sat down. His dragon eyes stared at his eldest son on the ground. "Speak."
"That's more like it."
Xia Yingqiu smiled calmly, then patted the old man on the ground.
"Great-grandfather told you to speak. Just continue. Don't worry, you won't be in any danger right now. You taught my eldest brother how to use the Dragon-Trapping Formation. You should know better. "
"It's him. Xia Dong arranged for me to contact the demons."
The former Sentencing Elder on the ground seemed to have calmed down a lot. He swallowed his saliva and said.
"You … …"
Inside the Dragon-Trapping Formation, the old man trembled uncontrollably. Xia Yingqiu glanced at him, then turned to the man on the ground.
"Keep talking, don't stop! Right, don't make it too complicated. Just get to the point. "
With that, he tilted his head and looked at the crowd in the hall with a smile.
"Everyone, you have to listen carefully. There are many stories behind this."
"It's like this." The man gritted his teeth and said, "Xia Dong contacted me half a year ago and asked me to meet someone on his behalf."
"Who?" The old chief asked.
"Gu Li!" "He's very young. When I first met him, he told me that he sincerely wanted to cooperate with us. Once we succeed, we'll become the true rulers of the Beast Region. At the time, I was very confused. Our Dragon Clan is one of the strongest clans in the Beast Region. Why would he say such things? Although I didn't understand, I didn't ask any questions. I went back and told Xia Dong about our conversation. "
"Have any of you heard of Gu Li?" asked the old family head.
Everyone shook their heads.
They were high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan and usually lived in seclusion in the mountains. They would not come out unless there was something particularly important. They really had no idea who Gu Li was.
"Go on."
"After I reported to Xia Dong, Xia Dong told me that the man was from the demon race. He asked me if I wanted to cooperate with him and the demon race. I froze. I'm in charge of punishment, so I know the severity of betrayal. I refused, but ….. "
"But what?"
"He said that if we cooperated with the demons, the entire Dragon Clan would belong to us, father and son. It wouldn't just be the demons. The Phoenix Clan, the Nine-tailed Clan, the White Tiger Clan, the Psychic Ape Clan, and the Black Tortoise Clan would all have to bow their heads before us. When the time comes, I'll be the leader of all beasts and be worshipped by all. "
"You agree?" someone in the hall asked.
"How could I dare?" The kneeling man smiled bitterly. "I'm the Elder of Punishment. The idea of serving the entire clan has long since been etched into my mind. Back then, I begged to differ. I even warned him not to get too involved. I was afraid that if the truth was revealed, I …. I wouldn't be able to repay him even if I had ten lives. But he told me that we were elders of the Dragon Clan. No one would dare do anything to us. Even if something really did happen, he could protect me. He even said that if I became the leader of all beasts, the Empress of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan …. The Empress …. Would also be mine …. "
He couldn't continue. Perhaps he found such filthy words difficult to speak of. However, Xia Yingqiu spoke on his behalf.
"The Empress of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, Su Liu 'er, would become his …. And those fox women would be for him to enjoy. Hmph, that's how he fell to her beauty. Really, he's already so old, yet he's still thinking about such things. Hey, Great-grandfather, is there anything else you want to say? "
Xia Yingqiu snorted disdainfully as he spoke.
"Utter nonsense!"
In the Dragon Trapping Formation, the Old Master was so angry that his entire body was trembling. The walking stick in his hand kept knocking on the ground.
"Fine, I think the real traitor is you, Xia Yingqiu!"
"You're trying to smear my name? Tch tch, Great-grandfather, you're still a senior. That's beneath you. But that doesn't matter to me. I'm filled with righteousness. If I'm upright, I fear no crooked shadows. If you suspect me, I'll accept the organization's investigation! Alright, I've put on a good show. Elders, what do you think? "
Xia Yingqiu ignored the great-grandfather's fury. Instead, he smiled and cupped his hands at everyone in the hall. The rest of the people in the hall all had awkward expressions on their faces. They also found it hard to believe.
The two most senior members of the Dragon Race had actually colluded with demons?
"Former clan head, clan head, what do you think we should do now?"
"If we're talking about punishment, we should execute them on the spot," said Xia Yingda.
"That's right," agreed the former clan head.
"You wouldn't dare!" Inside the Dragon-Trapping Formation, the great-grandfather's eyes narrowed. "I've protected the Dragon Race for tens of thousands of years. Our generation fought for the Dragon Race's territory. Xia Hua, when I was clan head, you weren't even born yet …. How dare you decide my life and death? Who gave you the gall? "
Bang.
The walking stick in his hand struck the ground, and the granite ground cracked outwards.
The former clan head hesitated. Xia Yingda hesitated as well.
The great-grandfather was right. The Dragon Race's territory had been fought for by their generation. Their military accomplishments were even higher than the heavens.
Juniors like them had no right to decide his life and death.
But …..
He was colluding with demons.
"Hmph, you don't dare?" When he saw that no one else dared speak, the great-grandfather snorted. "If you don't dare, then hurry up and let him go. Hmph, a bunch of juniors want to decide my life and death? "
