Hearing Yinghui's words, the hall instantly became deathly silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yinghui and Yinghui. Many Shadow Clan members had strange expressions on their faces.
Many people in the Shadow Clan didn't understand why Yinghui would treat her eldest grandson like this. They didn't understand why Yinghui would target her eldest grandson like this. After all, even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. The Shadow Clan wasn't some big evil clan. It wasn't to the extent that there was no familial affection in the clan.
Now that Yinghui was personally targeting Yinghui, perhaps the reason behind it would be solved soon.
"Grandmother!" Looking at the cold Yinghui, Yinghui's expression suddenly became absent-minded. Then, he subconsciously opened his mouth and muttered to himself.
"Don't call me grandmother. I don't have a grandson like you!" Yinghui seemed to have a heart of stone when facing Yinghui's voice. She was incomparably cold. Then, she said in an unusually cold voice.
"Why?"
Yinghui couldn't understand Yinghui's current actions. Yinghui had clearly treated him very well before. Although it wasn't as good as his younger brother Yinque, it wasn't much worse. However, after he returned to the clan, Yinghui had changed greatly. This made Yinghui very confused. He could only look at Yinghui with eyes full of grief as he said unconsciously.
"There's no reason!" Yinghui said indifferently in response to Yinghui's confusion and bewilderment. "If there's really a reason, then it should be that you've fallen behind. You've been crippled for life. Your future achievements will be extremely limited!"
"So, you're no longer worthy of my attention!"
"And everything you have should be given to Yinque!"
"Yinque is the one who can inherit everything your father has!"
"You're not at all!"
"Boom!"
Yinghui's words were like an invisible sledgehammer that heavily smashed onto Yinghui's head. It made him dizzy and he almost couldn't stand still. He was about to fall to the ground.
So that's why!
So that's why!
In short, there were two words: power and bias!
Because he had been crippled for life in the battle with Yan Juekong, his future cultivation achievements were indeed limited. Moreover, he had been in Spirit Realm for ten years and had completely withdrawn from the top ranks of the younger generation of Dark Realm. Therefore, the very realistic Yinghui decisively abandoned him and put all her effort into cultivating Yinque.
It was a very simple reason, but it was also a very realistic reason.
"So that's how it is, that's how it is, that's how it is. Actually, I should have thought of this a long time ago!" Ying Qing revealed a miserable smile as she muttered to herself.
Actually, ever since they were young, Yinghui had always favored her younger brother, Ying Que. Ever since they were young, she had never reprimanded Ying Que and instead berated herself more.
However, this comparison wasn't too obvious. Yinghui had taken care of him a lot of times, so he subconsciously ignored this fact.
Ever since he left the Shadow Clan, in the past ten years, Yinghui's psychological balance had naturally tilted towards Ying Que. Following that, she was incomparably indifferent towards his return. This was a very logical thing.
Everything had already come to an end from the very beginning!
As for himself, as long as he thought about it seriously, he should have been able to come to this conclusion long ago. It was just that he had been deliberately avoiding this fact that he was unwilling to accept.
However, now that everything had been torn apart, Ying Qing felt as if her entire body was being torn apart. She felt a heart-wrenching pain!
"Ying Qing, kneel down!" Yinghui spoke once more and berated Ying Qing in a stern voice.
However, Ying Qing was like a clay statue when faced with Yinghui's stern shout. She stood there stiffly, completely unaware of everything that was happening in the outside world, and she didn't move at all.
Yinghui raised her brows when she saw Ying Qing like this, and a wisp of coldness instantly appeared on her wrinkled face. She stood up and walked down. She intended to personally make Ying Qing kneel down.
However!
Yinghui had only taken a single step when Ying Qing suddenly knelt down with a thump. She kowtowed deeply towards Yinghui while her body trembled incessantly!
"Hmph!"
Yinghui stopped when she saw that Ying Qing was still 'tactful'. She didn't continue walking down. Instead, she let out a cold snort and returned to her seat. She sat down coldly and continued to look at Ying Qing.
"Ying Qing, there are two paths in front of you now!" The Shadow Clan's Great Elder, Ying Ruhui, spoke once more. Her voice was incomparably indifferent as she said, "First, you take people and personally capture Xiao Fan. Then, our Shadow Clan will hold a ceremony in Sky Shadow City and kill this person in front of countless people!"
"Second, you kill yourself here. At the same time, you write a letter with your blood to announce to everyone that you had no choice but to acknowledge that human Xiao Fan as your lord. You list out all the crimes that human Xiao Fan has committed. Then, our Shadow Clan will send an army to capture and kill that human Xiao Fan!"
"Choose one of the two paths!"
Ying Qing didn't say anything in response to Ying Ruhui's request. She just continued to kneel there with her head lowered and her body trembling incessantly.
"Hmm?" Ying Ruhui was very unhappy with Ying Qing's lack of response. Her expression immediately turned cold and she was about to berate Ying Qing again.
However!
"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"
Ying Qing suddenly kowtowed heavily towards Ying Hui. His forehead heavily collided with the ground and an extremely oppressive sound rang out.
Everyone in the Shadow Clan was stunned when they saw Ying Qing suddenly do this. They didn't understand what Ying Qing was trying to do.
"Grandmother, from now on, I have nothing to do with you. These 18 kowtows can be considered my final respect for you as an elder!" Ying Qing only stopped after kowtowing 18 times in a row. Then, he didn't care about the incessant flow of blood from his forehead. His eyes stared fixedly at Ying Hui as he spoke word by word.
"Impudent!" Ying Hui was stunned for a moment when she heard Ying Qing's words. Then, she flew into a rage. Her aura surged endlessly like a vast ocean and swept through the entire hall. Then, she sternly berated Ying Qing.
"It doesn't matter if you recognize me or not. I've already made up my mind!" Ying Qing slowly straightened his back, then looked at Ying Hui and shook his head.
"Good, good, good …!" Ying Hui suddenly laughed out of extreme anger and said, "Since you're unwilling to recognize me as your grandmother, do you really think I'm willing to recognize you as my grandson?"
"From now on, you, Ying Qing, have nothing to do with me. I, Ying Hui, will take it as I've never had an unfilial grandson like you!"
"Thank you, Third Elder!" Ying Qing didn't address Ying Hui as his grandmother anymore. Instead, he took a deep glance at Ying Hui before cupping his hands and bowing. He was extremely polite and spoke to Ying Hui in an extremely unfamiliar manner.
Ying Hui didn't say anything else. She just slowly sat down once more, and then she looked at Ying Qing with an extremely gloomy expression.
Actually, Ying Hui had long since intended to sever her relationship with Ying Qing, and she'd always been looking for an opportunity to settle this matter.
However, she hadn't expected that Ying Qing would be the first to bring up this matter. Even though this had achieved the outcome she wanted, the nature of this matter was different.
Because if she was the first to bring up severing their relationship, then she would be expelling Ying Qing from the clan. However, now that Ying Qing had brought it up first, it was Ying Qing expelling her.
In other words, Ying Qing had viciously slapped her in the face. Moreover, it had been done in front of countless members of the Shadow Clan.
Thus, it would be strange if Ying Hui, who'd lost face, felt comfortable.
"Big Brother, you've gone too far!" At this moment, a handsome youth around 16 or 17 years old walked out from the crowd, and then he looked at Ying Qing and spoke in an extremely cold manner.
Ying Que, Ying Qing's half-brother.
Ying Qing was similarly indifferent towards Ying Que, and then he shook his head and said, "Then when you joined forces with the others to force me, did you ever think about whether your actions were going too far?"
"But you did something wrong first. If you hadn't done anything wrong, then why would we be like this?" Ying Que spoke in an icy voice.
"Then may I ask which clan rule I've violated?" Ying Qing retorted with equal harshness.
"You …!" Ying Que's voice immediately became sluggish. He was unable to say anything because the entire upper echelon of the Shadow Clan had nothing to say about the clan rule. At this moment, he naturally had nothing to say.
"Since I haven't violated any clan rule, then what have I done wrong?" Ying Qing spoke coldly.
Ying Que was completely unable to say anything. He could only look at Ying Qing with an incomparably cold expression. He stood there without moving, and an extremely cold aura pervaded his body.
"Ying Qing, don't pester endlessly!" Second Elder Ying Feng spoke at this moment and coldly said, "If we say you're wrong about today's matter, then you're wrong!"
"Now, we'll give you 15 minutes to choose a path. After that, we'll report to the Shadow Clan of the Central Plains and determine your punishment. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless!"
Ying Qing finally came to a realization when he heard Second Elder Ying Feng's words, and then he immediately spoke with a nod, "So it's because you're afraid that I'm a member of the special Shadow Clan that possesses the blood of Bluefire!"
Actually, if the upper echelon of the Shadow Clan had really decided to kill Ying Qing, they could have done so directly. There was simply no need for them to go through so much trouble to hold a Shadow Clan Assembly. Moreover, they had even chosen the Sky Shadow Temple as the location.
The true reason was Ying Qing's Bluefire Blood.
This was because the Shadow Clan of the Dongling Lower Plains really didn't understand what a member of the Shadow Clan who possessed the blood of Bluefire Blood meant in the Shadow Clan of the Central Plains. If they were said to be the most special group of people in the Shadow Clan, and were extremely useful to the entire Shadow Clan and could be called the core of the Shadow Clan, then exactly how important was their use?
Did they really not dare to touch a single hair on Ying Qing's head?
However, they really wanted to get rid of Ying Qing. So, after thinking about it, the most comprehensive method was to have Ying Qing confess to her crimes, and then use Ying Qing's confession to report to the Shadow Clan of the Central Plains.
They believed that with Ying Qing's confession, even the Shadow Clan of the Central Plains wouldn't say anything. At that time, even if they were still unable to kill Ying Qing, it was completely possible for them to suppress Ying Qing in prison.
It was utterly unnecessary to say that even though they were collectively hostile to Ying Qing, they couldn't really do anything to Ying Qing. They could only join forces to ostracize her like boiling a frog in warm water with the intention of making Ying Qing unable to endure it and leave the Shadow Clan by herself.
