"What? Pei Yuanqing colluded with the members of the Shang Clan to target you in the Disarray Lands? "Hong Hua was stunned.
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded, and then he called Ping and the others out from the abode.
Hong Hua's pupils constricted. Fortunately, he had Yun Sheng's reminder, so he remained relatively calm. However, he was still very interested in the abode.
"Ping, tell Lord Hong Hua about how Pei Yuanqing asked you to supervise my death in the Disarray Lands," Xiao Chen instructed.
"Yes, sir!" Ping immediately told Hong Hua what had happened at that time.
Hong Hua sighed with emotion after hearing this. "No wonder there was suddenly an expert at the Immortal King Realm in your territory at that time. So that's how it is. At that time, we were all quite curious about who the mysterious Immortal King beside you was!"
"Actually, after the trial space, we knew that we weren't as powerful as Pei Yuanqing, so we didn't think about doing anything to him. However, we didn't expect that fellow to be so unwilling to let us go! Now, he's actually branded us as traitors! "Xiao Chen laughed coldly.
Hong Hua nodded slightly, and then said, "Although the truth is as you say, let me put it bluntly. Your side of the story can't prove that the Pei Clan has colluded with the Shang Clan. In the past, we could naturally investigate thoroughly, but now that the Pei Clan's Ancestor has broken through, he's one of the giants. How can we investigate as we please? If we're not careful, many people will be implicated!"
"Lord Hong Hua, I understand what you mean. However, I must demand an explanation for this matter. A crime as serious as committing a clan crime isn't something that can be casually borne. If we really admit to this crime, then our other friends and family, and even the members of our sect, will be greatly implicated," said Xiao Chen.
"I also understand this. However, the Pei Clan is powerful now, so this matter needs to be considered at length. Moreover, if it's really as you said, and the Pei Clan has colluded with the Shang Clan, then if we force them into a corner and they work together, I'm afraid it will bring a disastrous blow to Dingnan City!" Hong Hua frowned.
"What realm is the Patriarch of the Pei Family in now?" Xiao Chen asked directly.
Previously, he had asked White Leaf to investigate. The Pei Clan's old ancestor was nowhere to be found in South Dingnan City.
"Very strong. Before breaking through, he was already at Dao Birth Realm. Although I don't know if he broke through a whole realm this time, he is already at a completely different level." Hong Hua said.
"So strong?" Xiao Chen was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that there would be such an expert in the Immortal World. An existence of this level would be considered an expert even in the Domain of No Beginning.
"That's right. Otherwise, the other lords of South Ding City wouldn't have made such a huge concession just for the sake of the Pei Clan's Ancestor, allowing them to pin such a huge crime on you!" Hong Hua smiled bitterly.
"He's so strong. If he really has other intentions and colludes with the ancient race, if we don't get rid of him in time, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future! We should get rid of him in time! "Xiao Chen said.
"Can we get rid of such an expert just because we say so? Moreover, the Pei Clan has never shown any other intentions and has never crossed the line. Even if you say that Pei Yuanqing and the others colluded with the Shang Clan, it's at most a conflict between the younger generation. It's just a small fight. You can't fall out with the Pei Clan because of this, right? " Hong Hua shook his head. He was the clearest about the situation in South Ding City. Some things weren't simply white or black. There were too many gray areas in the middle.
"I understand. So what Lord Hong Hua means is that I should temporarily give up on the idea of finding trouble with the Pei Clan?" Xiao Chen smiled.
"Yes, it's unwise to fall out with the Pei Clan now. In any case, you've returned and brought your friends back from the Land of Exile. From the looks of it, you seem to have enough power to protect yourself. Why don't we do this for now? Let's announce that there's something fishy about what happened back then and re-investigate. During this period of time, you can stay in South Ding City. The Pei Clan won't dare to do anything to you!" Hong Hua said.
"Lord Hong Hua, I think you're underestimating the Pei Clan's determination to kill us." Xiao Chen smiled.
"Then what do you want? We can't just kill them, right? The ancient race and the foreign race aren't peaceful right now. A war might break out at any time. If we make a fuss with the Pei Clan now, the ancient race and the foreign race might take the opportunity to attack. "Hong Hua shook his head helplessly.
He naturally knew that Xiao Chen and the others had been wronged, but the current situation in the Immortal World didn't allow them to fall out with a faction like the Pei Clan.
"Moreover, if we really make a fuss, I'm afraid it won't be resolved in a short period of time. It's better to collect more evidence. When the time comes, the Pei Clan will be in a completely passive state in the face of sufficient evidence, and the other lords will be able to make a move," Hong Hua said slowly.
"I heard from Yun Sheng that your subordinates are very strong. Since that's the case, it's better to suppress this matter first and collect evidence in secret. When the time comes, we'll catch the Pei Clan off guard. If they really have the intention of colluding with the foreign race, there will definitely be clues when the ancient race and the foreign race start a war. It'll be best if we can prove it at that time! "
"Lord Hong Hua, what if I can directly kill the ancestor of the Pei Clan?" Xiao Chen didn't want to go through so much trouble. His eyes flashed as he said something that shocked Hong Hua, Yun Sheng, and the others.
"Are you … joking?" Hong Hua only managed to squeeze out this sentence after being stunned for a long time.
Then, his expression instantly turned serious. "Xiao Chen, regardless of whether you have the ability to do so, I don't mind if you do it directly. Have you ever thought that the ancestor of the Pei Clan is now one of the big shots in Dingnan City? From a certain perspective, he is also our guardian angel.
Even if you have the ability to directly kill the ancestor of the Pei Clan, if you can't produce convincing evidence and simply use violence against violence, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of all the other factions. Even if you don't care, don't tell me that your family and friends won't be able to survive in the Immortal World in the future?
The Pei Clan's matter involves too many people. It's best if you have enough evidence to prove that they are the ones colluding with the foreign race. When the time comes, even if you wipe out the entire Pei Clan, no one will say anything. Instead, they will be grateful to you! "
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and then said helplessly, "Alright, how troublesome. But if that's the case, then let's let them live freely for a few days. We'll slowly find the evidence!"
He indeed wanted to directly kill the ancestor of the Pei Clan, but Hong Hua's words weren't without reason.
After all, the Immortal World was his home and his roots.
His family and friends still needed to live here. Sometimes, the way he handled things couldn't be too simple.
