Chapter 745: Chapter 176: Feng Yun! [Ten Thousand Words!] (Part 3)
Shang Changzhen stood up, pacing slowly.
"You guys, go and check out the situation."
Shang Changzhen frowned and instructed.
Then a few people in white responded and immediately flew away.
"First, understand the situation, and then make plans. We cannot act rashly, it’s not because I’m timid or afraid of trouble. When I came, I encountered the Ningxue Sword in the sky..."
Shang Changzhen said.
Ningxue Sword!
Everyone was taken aback.
Shang Changzhen sighed and explained the situation, "In this Baiyun State, we cannot act."
Everyone felt a heavy heart.
Gu Yunlan said angrily, "Since Ningxue Sword is here, with his great skills, why did he allow Yemo to kill my son?"
Everyone was silent.
This woman is crazy, even blaming Ningxue Sword.
Shang Changzhen was startled, "Watch your words. This..."
At that moment, a sword light descended from the sky, precisely cutting a strand of Gu Yunlan’s hair, which floated down slowly.
The Sword Qi was chilling, making everyone shudder suddenly.
A cold voice said, "Whether your son lives or dies, what does it have to do with me? Do you think I’m afraid to kill people from the Heavenly Palace? Years ago, I blocked the gate of the Heavenly Palace and slaughtered thousands. Don’t think your Heavenly Palace is something special! Dare to speak disrespectfully again, don’t think of walking away alive! Foolish things, colluding with Wei Wo Zheng Sect for so long, why should I save your son?!"
Shang Changzhen’s face turned pale, and he quickly covered Gu Yunlan’s mouth.
Pleading, he said, "Please stop talking..."
Looking up, he implored, "Lord Jian, my wife has experienced a sudden change, her emotions are intense, and she spoke out of turn. I hope you can forgive her."
Ningxue Sword’s voice remained icy, "Finish your business and leave quickly! Even your Heavenly Palace Master wouldn’t dare speak to me like this, what do you think you are! If I didn’t mind bullying the weak, I’d kill you all and then settle accounts with the Heavenly Palace! So many bad habits accumulated over the years!"
Everyone looked ashen from the scolding.
The problem is that Ningxue Sword is not just scolding; if truly angered, he would kill.
And he would have no scruples.
Years ago, Ningxue Sword and the Emotion Cutting Saber blocked the Heavenly Palace gate, leaving bodies piled up and rivers of blood; didn’t they still need people to fight for them later?
Back then, thousands of swordsmen emerged from the Heavenly Palace; not because Xue Fuxiao and Ningxue Sword were not strong enough, but because... they couldn’t be in two places at once.
No matter how strong, they could only manage one battlefield.
"Ungrateful dogs!"
Ningxue Sword’s voice continued from above, "I wanted to treat you as humans, but you Heavenly Palace insist on crawling into the dog cage! Damn, blaming me for not saving your son! Am I someone you can blame?"
Listening from above, knowing that these guys had helped Wei Wo Zheng Sect, Ningxue Sword felt a bellyful of anger.
So he scolded more harshly.
He only hoped that his harsh words would provoke one of them to stand up and retort.
Then I could start killing freely.
Going back, Ninth Brother wouldn’t blame me: they insulted me! — Justification.
But after scolding for a while, under such indignation, those below surprisingly maintained great composure. Not a word of refutation, not even a deep breath was heard.
"Truly a bunch of cowards! No wonder it’s called Heavenly Palace! God castrated you all! Damn, it’s boring!"
After scolding, Ningxue Sword left with a flourish.
Below remained a dead silence.
No one spoke, not even discussing matters. Just silently waiting.
Ningxue Sword obviously miscalculated—no one even blushed.
After all, what’s to fear from being scolded by Ningxue Sword? As long as he doesn’t take action, everything is fine.
Can even boast later: I was earnestly lectured by Lord Jian... must say, Lord Jian is awesome!
Style naturally there. What? Humiliation? Haha, can being scolded by Lord Jian be called humiliation?
Long after.
"What’s the word on Guardian Hall?" Shang Changzhen finally coughed and asked.
"Guardian Hall... doesn’t care."
"Huh?"
With the explanation, Shang Changzhen finally understood.
It turned out his son’s sacrifice earned them the condition of ’not caring’, almost vomiting blood.
"This matter still needs to be notified to the Guardian."
Shang Changzhen frowned, "We are planning to go to war with Wei Wo Zheng Sect, so Guardian Hall is our natural ally. It doesn’t matter about personal feelings, but maintaining good relations with allies is quite necessary, right? Besides, Lord Jian is here, no matter what, we must go through the motions. Otherwise, Lord Jian will hold it against us."
Everyone nodded in agreement, "Lord Star Monarch is right."
Then Shang Changzhen turned to ask Zhu Shaoyun, "Where is Zhu Cui?"
Zhu Shaoyun didn’t dare to raise his head, "She... she’s been..."
Gu Yunlan angrily said, "Zhu Cui didn’t protect my son well, so I killed her. What do you want to do?"
Shang Changzhen paused, "Zhu Cui was killed by you... well, killed well."
Seeing his wife about to lose her mind again, he suddenly stood up, "Then I’ll go to Guardian Hall myself. As the saying goes, everyone carries the sedan, after all, we are on their turf here..."
Talking awkwardly to relieve himself, he hurriedly walked out.
Daring not to lift his head, thinking: Lord Jian should see my attitude, right? I hold great respect for the Guardian...
Watching Lord Star Monarch leave, Zhu Shaoyun was filled with coldness.
What does Mr. Shang’s death have to do with us?
We have worked diligently like oxen and horses in Baiyun State for so many years, only to end up being blamed and killed by our own superior, and being told: rightfully killed?
