Wei Yanxing was stunned for a mont upon hearing Wei Wenruo's words, then his face turned into a mask of fury.
"Insolence! How dare you!"
For Wei Wenruo to dare speak to him in such a manner, even though he was the descendant he thought most highly of, he could not let him off!
Just as Wei Yanxing was about to make a move to teach this audacious junior a lesson, he suddenly realized his True Essence Gang Qi began to dissipate, and even his bones and muscles beca uncontrollable, his blood began to stagnate, and the mont he stood up, he collapsed back into the chair.
Recalling the strange fragrance he had slled earlier, Wei Yanxing's expression changed imdiately: "God Trapping Powder!"
God Trapping Powder is an extrely insidious poison, so potent that even immortals would fall into its trap, completely losing their combat power.
However, this substance naturally has a distinctive scent that's hard to conceal, making it difficult to poison soone successfully.
But Wei Wenruo had first poisoned himself with God Trapping Powder, and relying on his strong willpower, he approached Wei Yanxing, spreading the powder's potency onto him.
"Wei Wenruo! How dare you plot against ! This is utter treason!"
Wei Yanxing was filled with rage and a touch of panic.
Because all the other disciples of the Wei Family present were looking at him with indifferent gazes, so even with a hint of disdain and hatred.
Although Wei Wenruo sacrificed himself to use God Trapping Powder against him, he himself was equally disabled.
So his daring action must an that other high-ranking mbers of the Wei Family are supporting him.
Or perhaps, the majority of the Wei Family has chosen to stand with Wei Wenruo!
Struggling to stand, Wei Wenruo shook his head lightly and said: "Ancestor, do you still not understand? It's not who's committing treason, the one guilty of treason is you!
We warned you back then, but you persisted in your ways and even imprisoned us in the dungeon, and look at us now? Our Wei Family is about to fall to the level of the Fragrance Cult!
Our Wei Family's thousand-year legacy, about to be destroyed by your greed alone, is sothing we cannot accept, so we have no choice but to save ourselves!"
Wei Yanxing's tone softened as he said: "Wenruo, I am forced by circumstances!
Zuo Hanyu and others have set up a Magic Platform to begin their cultivation, their power has started to soar. If I don't keep up with them, their power will soon surpass that of our Wei Family, what will we use to resist them then? I'm thinking for the whole Wei Family!
And you, I went against everyone's opinion back then to choose you as the heir among the many disciples of the Wei Family.
I've never treated you unfairly over the years, always thinking of you first whenever sothing good happens, and this is how you repay ?"
"Precisely because I am the heir of the Wei Family, I must prioritize the survival of the Wei Family in everything I do!"
Wei Yanxing cursed angrily: "A person like you, disloyal and unfilial, how will you face our ancestors in the future?"
Wei Wenruo said firmly: "If I do nothing and watch the Wei Family walk down the wrong path, then I would have no face to et our ancestors!
Moreover, doing sothing like this for selfishness, it should be you, the ancestor, who has no face to et them.
Ancestor, things have reached this point, only by trying our best to redy the situation can we leave a lifeline for the Wei Family.
For the survival of the Wei Family, I must use your head!"
Wei Wenruo finally couldn't support himself any longer and collapsed to the ground under the effect of the God Trapping Powder.
A few Grandmasters at the True Pill Realm of the Wei Family surrounded him with intense killing intent, pointing their weapons at their own ancestor.
...
Five days later, at the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
After Han Zheng digested the hunger level obtained from slaying Zuo Hanyu, his Yang God Body had almost completely enveloped his body and head, just a hair's breadth away from the mont where his Divine Soul could leave the body, transcending the flesh and fully refining the Yang God.
It's just that this tiny opportunity might be found tomorrow, or it might take decades.
The news from Xu Cunbao and others kept coming—Pang Family had fallen, Cang Mountain Sword Sect had fallen.
However, the Tiangang Sect escaped swiftly, and when they reached there, the Tiangang Sect had already vanished.
At this ti, Ye Liuyun walked in with a strange expression and said: "Sir, Wei Wenruo from the Wei Family requests an audience."
Han Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised, "Wei Wenruo? He dares to co?"
In fact, Han Zheng didn't have much animosity towards Wei Wenruo.
As an outstanding figure among the younger generation in Southern Mountain, although Wei Wenruo's strength wasn't the strongest, his mind was exceptionally clear.
However, for the Wei Family to engage in such actions akin to rebellion, and for Wei Wenruo to not flee but dare to seek an audience, he certainly had enough courage.
"Let him in."
A mont later, Wei Wenruo, pale-faced and carrying a box, walked into the main hall of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
"Greetings to Master Han. It's been a long ti. Master Han looks even more impressive than before."
Wei Wenruo smiled and cupped his hands, his deanor neither servile nor overbearing.
Han Zheng shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Wei, you and I are old acquaintances, there's no need for pleasantries. Tell , why are you here?
The cri your Wei Family committed is enormous, on the sa level as the Song Family of Sky Blade. Pleading won't work, or I won't be able to explain it to the other brothers of the Demon Cleansing Bureau."
"I know, so I'm not here to plead for rcy, but to give the Demon Cleansing Bureau an explanation!"
As he finished speaking, Wei Wenruo directly opened the box beside him, revealing within it Wei Yanxing's head.
Even Han Zheng was slightly taken aback by this sight.
My goodness, the Wei Family really acted decisively, killing their own ancestor.
Wei Wenruo said in a deep voice: "Wei Yanxing, as my Wei Family's ancestor, committed an act tantamount to treason for selfish desires, a cri worthy of death!
There's no need for the Demon Cleansing Bureau to act, we in the Wei Family have already executed him to seek the Bureau's understanding, hoping the Bureau will discern right from wrong and leave a lifeline for the Wei Family.
Moreover, before executing Wei Yanxing, I also learned part of the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate's sches from him, and we are willing to fully disclose them.
From here on, the life or death of my Wei Family is entirely under Master Han's discretion!"
Han Zheng stroked his chin, looking at Wei Wenruo with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Well done, Wei Wenruo, the action and words were handled beautifully.
The Wei Family killed their own ancestor first, showing absolute sincerity.
Following that, they placed themselves in an extrely humble position, leaving their fate to the Demon Cleansing Bureau's discretion.
In this scenario, if Han Zheng were to truly destroy the Wei Family like the Song Family of Sky Blade, it would indeed be too harsh and too resolute.
If that were truly the case, then any Jianghu forces, regardless of their alignnt, who are adversaries of the Demon Cleansing Bureau would undoubtedly fight to the end.
Because surrendering or not, the outco is the sa—death. It's better to fight to the death, perhaps even dragging soone down with them.
Thus, with the Wei Family expressing itself in such a manner, Han Zheng truly had to spare a life.
After pondering for a mont, Han Zheng said solemnly: "The Wei Family has shown enough sincerity, but right now the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Departnt isn't my sole domain. I still need to discuss with others."
With that, Han Zheng summoned Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao to recount the Wei Family's stance to them.
After listening, both Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun were sowhat astonished, not expecting the Wei Family to choose to kill their own ancestor to gain a lifeline.
It's likely Wei Yanxing never imagined, fleeing the Demon Cleansing Bureau's pursuit, he would die at the hands of his own family.
The three exchanged glances, each reaching a decision.
The Wei Family has shown such sincerity that they can be spared, but not easily forgiven.
Han Zheng tapped the table, saying gravely: "Wei Yanxing committed grave errors, and so Wei Family disciples even followed him to ambush the Demon Cleansing Bureau, this cannot simply be brushed away because of Wei Yanxing's death.
Actions have consequences.
Considering the rest of your Wei Family's misguided turn to the right path, the death penalty may be avoided, but punishnt cannot be.
From now on, all spiritual fields, mines, and other cultivation enterprises of the Wei Family are confiscated.
All Wei Family disciples will serve the Demon Cleansing Bureau for thirty years, slaying demons and Jianghu criminals to atone for their sins.
Do you accept this?
Wei Wenruo let out a long breath and bowed: "My Wei Family is willing to accept!"
