Chapter 747 - A Sharp Turn for the Worst (1/2)
“It’s precisely because we are in a critical moment that we should be more cautious.” The master of the Yue clan stood up and said, “It’s your business that you believe him. If we don’t believe him, we have our reasons. Yan Tianhen cultivates evil Qi: it is an indisputable fact. Since that’s the case, this King proposes to detain him for the time being until we find evidence that he did not collude with evil Qi cultivators, or when the evil spirits have been destroyed, and then release him, so that we can be rest assured.”
“King Yue has a point.” The Sect Master of the River Mountain Sect from the South Land also nodded. “We don’t know much about Prince Ye’s character and strength. If we let someone cultivate evil Qi nearby, we can’t tell what would happen. We might as well investigate the matter of the Dragon Tomb Holy Land first, make sure it has nothing to do with him, and then make other considerations.”
Next, several representatives of other sects and clans seconded the motion. They mentioned they also didn’t want to be associated with an evil Qi cultivator.
Therefore, the meeting of eliminating evil spirits was stalled and could no longer continue.
These people’s doubts about Yan Tianhen directly led to their doubts about the whole anti-evil spirit meeting. In the end, led by the Yue clan and Heavy Mountain Sect, some great families and clans left Myriad Dao Academy one after another, while some stayed to wait and see, and were temporarily arranged to live in the sect, waiting for some consideration.
When they arrived at Little Penglai, Yan Tianhen still looked very disheartened.
He hung his head and tilted the corners of his mouth downward, looking wronged and helpless. Lin Xuanzhi came forward and rubbed Yan Tianhen’s head.
“Don’t think so much.” Lin Xuanzhi said.
“If it weren’t for me, today’s anti-evil spirit conference would have certainly been able to go to the next step.” Yan Tianhen said remorsefully, “Those aristocratic families and sects didn’t even bother to listen to the method of killing evil spirits before they left. They must dislike me very much.”
Of course, it was impossible to just sign a contract for the anti-evil spirit conference. The most important step had not yet started. They originally thought of unifying everyone’s attitude first, and then collectively telling them the solution they came up with. However, they already met such a big obstacle at the first step, which made Yan Tianhen feel bad.
“Moreover, the vast majority were just watching.” Yan Tianhen’s face was filled with sadness. “I don’t know how long they’ll stay bystanders for.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “It doesn’t matter. Dad and Master have already started lobbying privately. It won’t be long before more people come forward and choose to trust you.”
Yan Tianhen nodded. “I hope so.”
——Yan Tianhen was walking in the street. He wanted to exchange some spiritual herbs which could refine medicinal pills, but he met a group of aristocratic family disciples who were wandering around in Myriad Dao Academy. They were led by Wan Liyao.
The other young masters couldn’t help laughing. Wan Liyao’s face was indfiferent and he only looked at Yan Tianhen.
Yan Tianhen stopped and turned around at. “What did you just say?”
As soon as the folding fan in the young master’s hand was closed, he said, “I mean, I am really starting to think that some people of the aristocratic family are mentally ill. Who knows which corner of the demon world that dad of yours ran out from? How dare he defile the lineage of the Yan family? Let this Young Master tell you the truth. Don’t let your father’s people lobby our voodoo aristocratic family. Although we have always been subordinates of the Yan family, our Ying family will never acknowledge you people who are all full of thoughts about climbing the social ladder to get rich!”
The voodoo Ying family’s disciple was sent flying with a slap as soon as he finished.
Yan Tianhen came up to him, narrowed his eyes and said, “Ying family? Does your father know that you’re slandering King Ye’s consort in public?”
“You fucking dare to hit me!” The Ying family disciple blew up at once, and fought back Yan Tianhen with one palm. Yan Tianhen quickly retreated. When the Ying family disciples threw their hidden weapons at him, he had to pull out the Yin Flame Whip and knock away all their weapons.
The Ying family disciple was slapped in the face, and his eyes were red. He lunged for Yan Tianhen unexpectedly.
……
“The second meeting of the Anti-Evil Spirit Conference is scheduled for three days later. Let’s settle the matter as soon as possible. After all, time is running out.” Sword Saint Tianshu and several powerhouses of the sect walked together. “I heard from outside people that on the day when we gathered here, Heaven’s Wail began to appear in the sky over the Nine Lands. Although the speed of expansion wasn’t too fast, it was still enough for people to pay attention to it.”
“Yes, I also heard about this.” Another elder couldn’t help but frown. “But these people don’t want to trust us at all. Prince Ye doesn’t look like a bad person either, and he really has no reason to associate with the evil spirits.”
The East Sovereign said, “This Venerable has sent people to lobby privately, and more than half of the aristocratic families are willing to trust Prince Ye.”
“That’s good.” Sword Saint Tianshu nodded with great comfort.
Suddenly, a disciple came running in a hurry, looking panicked and saying, “S-Sect Master!”
Sword Saint Tianshu asked, “What’s the hurry? Speak clearly!”
The disciple pointed to the other side and said, “Go and have a look. Yan Tianhen got into a fight with a Ying family member!”
“What?” Sword Saint Tianshu immediately ran towards there. When he arrived at the scene, he found Yan Tianhen beating the aristocratic family disciples unilaterally.
