381 Conspiracy (1/2)

In the Meng Clan's seating area above the fighting ring, one by one, the members of the Meng Clan looked with gloomy expressions at Qin Xiaoyou. A genius maiden had actually appeared from the Huo Clan. For them it was indeed beyond what they had expected. They had initially thought that the Huo Clan was gradually declining, but now it seemed that was not the case.

The person at the helm of the Meng Clan, Meng Hongbo, asked sullenly, ”It seems that the girl is called Qin Xiaoyou. How is she related to the Huo Clan?” Yesterday, in the Huo Clan house, he had lost his image, so he naturally bore no good feelings for the Huo Clan. He directly considered the Huo Clan as a rival clan. Now that the Huo Clan was becoming more and more prosperous, it naturally did not sit well with him.

”We don't know. We have never heard of this girl before. She seems to have suddenly appeared in the Huo Clan.” A Meng Clan elder shook his head. His eyes had an incredulous look. It stood to reason that the Five Aristocratic Families were familiar with each other. Each had a good approximate measure of the other. However, the Huo Clan's performance this time had surprised them. Not only did Huo Changxing, who had returned from overseas, have Cultivation at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm, but an unknown girl had popped out of nowhere. Both were so extraordinary.

”If Meng Guo had not died, with his Cultivation, he would certainly not be any worse than this girl. D*mn it.” Another middle-aged man clenched his fist. His face was contorted, and his eyes were full of hate. He was Meng Guo's birth father. He had always been proud of Meng Guo's talent, but he never imagined that such an incident would occur. One could imagine the blow to him.

He could not wait to tear Mo Wen to shreds. However, with the protection of the Huo Clan and the Wang Clan, he could not do anything.

”Don't worry. We will get our revenge sooner or later, and not just on the brat Mo Wen. The Wang Clan and the Huo Clan will face the consequences,” Meng Hongbo said with a cold expression. His eyes were filled with a sinister look.

The other members of the Meng Clan looked at each other. The clan leader had said it so decisively. Could it be that there was a plan? If it truly happened, it would be a huge incident that would shake up the Capital's ancient martial arts world.

In the Qin Clan's spectator seats, the looks on the Qin Clan's members' faces were even more entertaining than those of the Meng Clan's. Qin Xiaoyou was a member of the Qin Clan, but she was fighting for the Huo Clan, making her the enemy of the Qin Clan. One could imagine how they all felt.

”That b*tch. This is practically a rebellion. Could it be that she doesn't know who her ancestors are?” A Qin Clan elder slammed his fist onto the table. His anger was not small. Not long before, Qin Xiaoyou had just beaten a Qin Clan genius in the challenge ring. For the Qin Clan, that was naturally humiliating.

A girl abandoned by the clan had actually come back to humiliate them.

”Don't make yourself sound so righteous. Back then, you did all those things behind the backs of the Eldest Great Grandfather and the rest of the clansmen. Otherwise, how would this have happened? Maybe back then, if our Qin Clan had treated that mother and daughter better, the end result would have been completely different,” another member of the Qin Clan said, coldly mocking him. Clearly he was at odds with the person who had spoken before. Within aristocratic families, there were always internal disputes. It was a normal thing.

”Since it has come to this, you don't need to make sarcastic comments. That b*tch is nothing good in my opinion. With her current talent, if she is allowed to continue to grow, it will be hard to guarantee that she won't be against the Qin Clan and do things to retaliate against us. As I see it, we should find an opportunity to eliminate this girl. That is the best solution.” The person who had spoken just now did not argue with the other Qin Clan member because he knew that after doing such a thing, they were indeed at fault. They had assassinated Qin Xiaoyou's father, Qin Yi, and took away all of their family assets. With such great hatred, it was meaningless as to whether they were kind to the mother and daughter.

”What you say makes some sense. This girl indeed should be killed. Otherwise, she will be a threat to the Qin Clan in the future. She is already not considered a member of the Qin Clan. You don't need to worry about feelings.” The other person also nodded in rare agreement with the previous person's point of view. After all, the talent that Qin Xiaoyou displayed made them jealous. To feed a tiger at one's detriment was a huge taboo. Whether an aristocratic family could continue for hundreds of years was not just dependent on whether they had profound strength.

”You all don't need to worry. Those that go against the Qin Clan won't live long.” The Qin Eldest Great Grandfather gave the few clansmen a glance and nodded slightly with a content look. Ruthlessness and decisiveness were qualities that a manager of the clan needed to have. If they were indecisive and hesitated over love, they would certainly be unqualified to be leaders.

”Elder, you mean to say…” A few Qin Clan members with authority felt surprised upon hearing this. They all looked at their clan elder. His words just now were not simple. Reading between the lines, they could guess the meaning behind his words.

The Qin Eldest Great Grandfather said coldly, ”You all just watch. Anyone who goes against the Qin Clan will not be hopping around for long. As for the girl… Hmm, it is indeed a pity. However, since it has come to this, then we do not need to hold onto any feelings. Anyone who is a threat to the clan, regardless of who it is, has only one outcome. Kill without mercy!” A chilling aura emanated from his body, causing the surrounding air temperature to suddenly plummet. The few people who sat beside him could not help but shiver. The chill that was born from deep within the heart made everyone uncontrollably develop a sense of fear.

No one knew when it had begun, but the Eldest Great Grandfather's Yin Qi seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, as if it were freezing. Many a time, the clansmen did not dare to approach their own Eldest Great Grandfather. Compared to the kindness he had before, the difference was like day and night.

A short, sneaky-looking, middle-aged clansman said, ”Eldest Great Grandfather, the girl is easy to deal with. She only has Cultivation in the Sea of Qi realm. She has yet to completely develop, and certainly won't be able to compare to Qiao'er, who is in the Qi Nucleation realm. Later on in the fighting ring, maybe we will have the chance to eliminate her.”
