Chapter 2294: Going Overboard! (1/2)
No one had expected Jiang Tian to side with the outsiders the moment he appeared. No one had expected him to smear Huang Xiaolong’s name in front of everyone present!
“Jiang Tian, how dare you make up lies to side with the outsiders? How dare you frame Holy Prince Huang Xiaolong?” Li Wen roared in anger. “When Yang Rong was baited by your Jiang Family to challenge Huang Xiaolong, everyone saw how you chose to make them sign the life or death challenge contract!”
Jiang Tian sneered, “Eminent Elder Li Wen, I’m merely speaking the truth. Why would I frame Huang Xiaolong? As for your accusation of me siding with the outsiders, that’s what framing is! Even if you’re an Eminent Elder, you can’t accuse me of something I didn’t do! You need to be punished for framing a Holy Prince!”
“Even if you say that there are many people who saw me forcing Huang Xiaolong to sign the contract, you can call them out to testify against me!”
Jiang Tian smirked.
As for Li Wen and the others, their expressions were in stark contrast as they turned gloomy the moment Jiang Tian challenged them.
When Jiang Tian had forced Huang Xiaolong to sign the life or death contract, the family leaders present were those who were on the Jiang Family’s side! There was no way they would testify against Jiang Tian!
Luo Hong sneered, “Li Wen, did you hear that? Huang Xiaolong was the one who forced my junior brother to sign the life or death contract. He conspired against a Holy Prince of my Evolving Dragon Holy Ground! Since your head disciple can be a witness, why are you stopping me from taking the culprit away?!”
Tan Hongyi couldn’t help himself as he quickly tried to kick them while they were down. “Not only do you have to hand Huang Xiaolong over, but you also need to pay us with one thousand level-seven origin spiritual pills as tribute! Otherwise, our master will personally come over to negotiate with you guys! If he shows up, you’ll have to take out ten thousand rank-seven origin spiritual pills at the very least!”
“What?! One thousand level-seven origin spiritual pills?!”
Li Wen and the others raged.
Even as Eminent Elders, they wouldn’t be in possession of more than several level-seven origin spiritual pills. Even if they swept through the entire Zhuoyuan Holy Ground, they wouldn’t be able to find a hundred of them! Right now, the other party was requesting for a thousand of them!
“You’re going too far!” Xu Jun smashed the jade teacup in his hand and he seethed with fury, “Tan Hongyi, who do you think you are? The members of your Evolving Dragon Holy Ground came here to look for trouble, and Luo Hong even tried to assassinate our Holy Prince. Do you really think that we won’t kill all of you right here and now?”
Killing intent congealed throughout the hall, and it locked on to Luo Hong and everyone from the Evolving Dragon Holy Ground.
Feeling the killing intent locked on to him, Luo Hong chuckled, “Xu Jun, why are you going so far for a single Huang Xiaolong? Do you really want to stake your Zhuoyuan Holy Ground on this? If you dare to harm any single one of us, my master will lead the Evolving Dragon Holy Ground to stomp on your Zhuoyuan Holy Gate! Do you think you will be able to endure the wrath of my patriarch?”
“Hand over Huang Xiaolong and one thousand level-seven origin spiritual pills, and we’ll pretend as though nothing happened.”
“How about that? One thousand level-seven origin spiritual pills isn’t a large number at all. We spent so much to nurture Junior Brother Yang Rong, and you should compensate us for it!”
Jiang Tian interrupted all of them before anyone could rebut Luo Hong. “That’s right. Eminent Elder Li Wen, are you really going to send our Holy Gate down the path of no return for a mere Huang Xiaolong? As the leader of the Holy Princes, I have to stand up for us! We cannot allow you to ruin our future over a small conflict!”
Wan Zhuoyuan laid down the order in the past. When the thirteen doyens were unable to come up with a conclusion, Jiang Tian, as the top-ranked Holy Prince, would be allowed to make the decisions for them.
