Free Web NovelChapter 2628: Chapter 2631: Punishment
"Jiang Chen’s fine? Then who is that?"
"Where’s the Qin Family Head?"
"Damn it, look at that pool of blood..."
"This..."
Seeing Jiang Chen standing well behind an elderly man in golden robes, the crowd was still puzzled. When a sharp-eyed cultivator noticed the pool of blood on the ground filled with heart’s blood, everyone widened their eyes in shock and couldn’t utter a word!
Killed?!
The Qin Family Head, a Saint Expert, was killed by that elderly man in golden robes!?
"Bastard!"
A thunderous shout rang out as a vast aura rose from the east of Elixir Divine City and appeared over the square in an instant.
The crowd shuddered, looking with fearful eyes at the elder above the square.
Qin Wanlin, the Qin Family ancestor, a Saint Monarch Strong One!
At that moment, everyone in the square felt a tangible depth from the abyss, a chill rising from the soles of their feet straight to their heads. Some weaker cultivators had blood seeping from their mouths, and even those at the Void Refinement Realm turned incredibly pale. Only those at the Unity Realm Stage could barely withstand the elder’s chilling killing intent emanated without specific targeting—just a bit of spreading aura!
"You dare kill my Qin Family Head?"
Qin Wanlin looked coldly at Jin Ang and demanded in a chilling voice, "State your name and family!"
"Oh? Wanting to annihilate my clan?"
Jin Ang chuckled lightly, looking at Qin Wanlin mockingly, "Gold-devouring Rat Clan, Supreme Third Elder, Jin Ang! Does your Qin Family want to try with my clan?"
"Gold-devouring Rat Clan!?"
"Is that the Supreme Elder of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan?"
"Also a Saint Monarch Realm expert!" fгeewebnovёl.com
Low, shocked exclamations sounded on the square, and the crowd looked at Jin Ang with a trace of fear in their eyes.
The infamous reputation of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan was truly widespread!
People from the Feng Family, Yan Family, and Long Family all had expressions changing as they glanced at Jin Ang and then at Jiang Chen, revealing a complex look in their eyes.
Huo Langran and his son exchanged glances, both becoming solemn. They hadn’t expected the Gold-devouring Rat Clan to value Jiang Chen so highly, going as far as to directly kill the Qin Family Head for him!
Qin Wanlin’s pupils constricted as he warily glanced at Jin Ang, then turned to Yuan Kui, cupping his hands in respect, "City Lord Yuan Kui, this person has killed my Qin Family Head without reason in Elixir Divine City, disturbing the Alchemy Dao Contest. Please join me in capturing him!"
He knew he might not be a match for Jin Ang, aiming to recruit Yuan Kui’s support.
"Qin Wanlin, twisting facts in front of the little princess; do you truly think the Qin Family can cover the sky with one hand?"
Yuan Kui looked indifferently at Qin Wanlin.
Qin Wanlin’s expression changed as he looked around, spotting Si Huang’er beside Yuan Kui, secretly thinking it’s bad, and respectfully greeted her, "Greetings to the little princess."
"Qin Family Head Qin Yuancheng disrupted the Alchemy Dao Contest rules and attacked one of the fifty top competitors. Are you aiding the Extraterritorial Alien Race in killing our Canglan Continent geniuses? Is your Qin Family colluding with the enemy?"
Si Huang’er snapped icily.
The Alchemy Dao Contest’s top fifty were destined to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, regardless of their cultivation level. Returning from there, they could choose not to enter the frontline, but getting into the top fifty was a safeguard. Attacking them without reason could be considered collusion with the enemy!
"Never! Yuancheng was impulsive; please forgive him, little princess!"
Qin Wanlin’s expression changed rapidly, urgently cupping his hands in respect, feeling utmost wretchedness yet not daring to vent it.
If you secretly killed those top fifty, it might be forgiven, but acting publicly ensures criticism. Without punishment, how could others trust in participating in these contests to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield?
Every time Canglan Continent held contests, many hidden talents rush to compete, even from places like the Abandoned Plains. If revenge battles were allowed, what’s the point of these competitions?
The continent’s major forces have an unwritten rule: during this period, whatever grudges exist must temporarily be restrained. At worst, wait until opponent’s selection fails or isolate him, then act. Publicly, maintaining solidarity against the Extraterritorial Alien Race is the principle.
"The Qin Family, this time, the entire clan to the Extraterritorial Battlefield!"
Si Huang’er announced indifferently.
"What!?"
"The entire clan to the Extraterritorial Battlefield?!"
"That’s the most severe punishment!"
The square erupted, everyone incredulously staring at Si Huang’er.
Committing an offense at such a critical time; the severest punishment was being sent to the Extraterritorial Battlefield. During this period, execution was rare, and they were directly sent to the vanguard battlefront, even dying contributing to the Void Nether Realm.
"Little princess, isn’t such punishment too severe? Yuancheng made a mistake, but he’s already paid with his life!"
Qin Wanlin’s heart trembled heavily, frantically defending.
"Special circumstances require special measures. Our Canglan Continent established merit a century ago, securing a hundred years exempt from the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Now, the century is up, and the other Four Great Continents are watching us closely. Doing such attacks now, are you intending for Canglan Continent’s dignity to crumble?"
Si Huang’er looked icily at Qin Wanlin, shouting, "Elder Feng!"
"The old minister is here!"
Elder Feng stepped forward, responding with cupped hands.
At this moment, he was not assuming his role as Si Huang’er’s teacher but fulfilling his duty as Canglan City’s retainer.
"Return to Canglan City, dispatch a squad of the Canglan Army, and another to Lieyang Domain, to arrest the whole Qin Family and await orders at the cross-realm Teleportation Array. If anyone dares escape, annihilate the clan completely!"
Si Huang’er commanded sternly.
"Yes!"
Elder Feng accepted the order, disappearing in a flash.
Qin Wanlin’s face turned deathly pale; he hadn’t expected Si Huang’er to truly send the entire Qin Family to the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Everyone on the square fell silent, the princess’s wrath alarming everyone—from the Feng Family, Yan Family, and Long Family, chills crept through them, secretly relieved their plans were not executed. Should Si Huang’er find out, their families might also be sent to the battlefield!
Yuan Kui revealed a hint of puzzlement, glancing at Si Huang’er in slight surprise; he felt she was overly targeting the Qin Family.
Qin Wanlin’s expression grew dark to the extreme, looking at Si Huang’er, then Jiang Chen, gritting his teeth fiercely, and shouted, "I plead for the princess’s mercy!"
Whoosh!
Thud!
In a flash, Qin Wanlin dropped to the ground, directly kneeling before the high platform. freёwebnoѵel.com
The entire square fell silent; while shocked, everyone then stared at Si Huang’er.
A Saint Monarch kneeling in supplication was unheard of, echoing ripples in everyone’s hearts.
