Chapter 1657: A Safe Return (2/2)
“Should we do it, Elder Tu?”
“That girl was too cocky We should take her and teach her a lesson!”
“Let’s take them and have House Yan pay a ransorounds What can House Yan do about it, huh?”
“As long as they fall into our hands, we can make up all the excuses ant!”
The men turned in unison to their leader The burlywhat he should do In the end, the violent glint disappeared froet it We can’t be brash!+ I didn’t expect Yan Qinghuang to be this difficult to deal with, even hts back with all they’ve got, things will spiral out of control”
“Are we just going to let theet it House Xiahou will de happens to Yan Qinghuang We can afford to offend House Yan, but House Xiahou… even the sect head has to think twice about provoking the’s relationshi+p with Xiahou Zong and the faave up on his original plan If anything happened to Xiahou Zong’s cultivation vessel in their territory, House Xiahou would never let Starlight Sect off the hook
It was foolish to be eneained the sect head’s per House Yan’s airboat They’d done it of their own accord If things had gotten out of hand, they wouldn’t get off scot-free either
They’d planned to coerce the Yan elders by exploiting the latter’s sense of inferiority, but Yan Qinghuang had co Chen silently co’er for what she did The men from House Yan, elders and youths alike, were all spineless It was the wo the bullies
Yang Qingsang sot us out of danger”
“She’s a heroineChen praised
“It’s weird though Why did the Starlight Sect back off after Huang’er’s words? There wasn’t anything special about her speech”
Jiang Chen smiled “That’s easy, you didn’t identify the key factors”
“What do youwas puzzled
“Thoseyour lack of confidence to rip your off They never wanted to start a fight Huang’er made it clear that House Yan wouldn’t surrender without one So of course they didn’t want that Besides, Huang’er wasn’t so to be House Yan’s enemy, they wouldn’t dare offend House Xiahou”
Yan Qingsang paused for a long h in realization “There was a one-two punch to Huang’er’s words One was our resolution to fight to the death The other was her identity”
“Yes If you were the one who presented the sau Chen wasn’t trying to put hi’er was the best person to take a stand against the Starlight Sect None of the had happened to her, they’d have two aristocratic houses after thee to face such consequences
Yan Qingsang sighed “I haven’t htful than I am Thosefactions Were they lying? Or were they telling the truth?”
That hat Jiang Chen ondering too He wasn’t sure himself either
“In my opinion, it’s most likely not true, at least not yet If House Yan was struck off fro factions, the elders wouldn’t be co to kick House Yan out of the circle Whether they would succeed depends on two things: if you people are able to prove yourselves, and if the Eternal Sacred Land approves”
The Eternal Sacred Land was the absolute wielder of authority in the nation As long as they were against the idea, it wouldn’t reed, however, it would be difficult for House Yan to h power to prove everyone wrong
So far, the house wasn’t strong enough to do so
The run-in with the Starlight Sect had put a dampener on everyone’s ’er hadn’t taken a stand, they would be returning ho but sha their hoht them little joy Instead, their hearts were filled with a sense of relief The elders had been on high alert during this outing On one hand, they’d had to ensure the youths’ safety On the other, they had to keep an eye on Huang’er and keep her fro up trouble
The airboat finally entered House Yan territory, which spanned tens of thousands of ion Their headquarters were located in the capital city, while the territory was governed by the various executives and e faction like House Yan had its own board of elders There were h it wasn’t as highly regarded as it’d once been, its foundations remained intact The only difference between it and the other big factions was the lack of a doeniuses relaxed only after entering their home territory
The elders immediately briefed the board of elders and the patriarch on what had happened
The patriarch was greatly taken aback “The Starlight Sect has crossed the line How dare they intercept our airboat and spread ruotten wind that we’ve been excluded froht Sect can’t possibly get the information before one too far! Many of the a complaint to the Eternal Sacred Land
The patriarch cal a complaint is out of the question House Yan is stuck in an aard place If we file a complaint, the sacred land will disht We can’t afford to eain”
“Thank you for your hard work, Elder He, Elder Quan This journey was far fro safely with valuable gains”
“According to your report, Yan Qingsang perforhim to us so we can have a look?” The elders spoke up one after another,it a lively discussion
