Chapter 326 [Slaughter]
The young Lu Kang had slowly stood up, expressionless, and walked forward from the back row.
Chen Yan remained seated, but couldn’t help but find it amusing—according to this Hundred-Year-old Venerable, East Sea was already gathering murderous intent while reciting the nas, intending to kill once he finished...
The nas being recited might as well be a death list?
And by chance, this Hundred-Year-old Venerable was on East Sea’s death list?
I’m curious to see how this will conclude.
·
The young Lu Kang walked to the front and stood before East Sea.
East Sea glanced at Lu Kang, then at the noble family mber nad Jiang Liu, who he had called earlier, frowning and pointing to his left, "Stand there."
Then he gestured to Lu Kang, "You stand behind ."
Lu Kang’s expression remained unchanged as he nodded, silently moving behind East Sea.
East Sea then called a bunch of nas, including three noble sect disciples and six loose cultivators.
Once called, these people were ordered by East Sea to stand to his front left, alongside the person nad Jiang Liu.
As more nas were called, mainly standing with Jiang Liu, those nad began to sense sothing, with many showing a trace of panic in their eyes.
Just as East Sea called out a new na, Jiang Liu suddenly spoke.
"Lord Sword Master, what is your purpose in calling us here?"
East Sea ignored him, simply ordering the latest person he called to stand beside Jiang Liu.
Then, East Sea called out two more nas, this ti both were loose cultivators, and had them stand behind him, with Lu Kang.
Seeing East Sea ignoring him, Jiang Liu grew increasingly anxious, raising his voice, "Lord Sword Master, this..."
He attempted to continue speaking, but East Sea frowned, turned his head to give Jiang Liu a cold glance, and shouted, "Noisy!"
He raised his left hand and gave an empty wave, imdiately sending Jiang Liu spinning, as if hit by a heavy blow, rotating twice before crashing to the ground!
Looking at Jiang Liu’s face, half of it was swollen, blood spurting from his mouth and nose, opening his mouth to spit out several broken teeth.
Jiang Liu made a whimpering sound, but the scene had already frightened those standing next to him.
Soone cried out in alarm, "Why hit people!"
"Is this how the Ghost Race treats guests?!"
"Lord Sword Master, your actions are too overbearing!"
"Doesn’t the Black Wood Tribe care?!"
"Exactly! We’re here for the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony! What cri did Brother Jiang Liu commit to deserve this humiliation!"
A chorus of voices arose, with harsh words but, upon closer examination, each person had a shifty gaze, a touch of guilt and panic, as they forced loud protests.
East Sea paid no heed, rely casting a dissatisfied glance at the skinny old man of the Ghost Race behind him.
The skinny old man also looked away, but ultimately didn’t dare ignore, taking a deep breath and deliberately raising his voice, heavily snorting, "Shouting loudly, what does it look like! This is the Ghost Race’s Black Wood Tribe territory! You are participants of the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony, shouting what does it look like!
Lord Sword Master’s actions naturally have his reasons, all you need is to wait patiently! The Ghost Race has its way of treating guests and surely won’t let anyone suffer loss!"
Chen Yan sat below, hearing this, and was stirred in his heart.
What is veiled criticism? This is veiled criticism. What is double-edged language? This is double-edged language.
This skinny old man of the Ghost Race, seemingly scolding those called by na to stand with Jiang Liu, but within his words, was deliberately targeting East Sea.
Deliberately emphasizing Jiang Liu and others as "participants of the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony."
Deliberately saying "the Ghost Race has its way of treating guests" and "surely won’t let guests suffer loss," etc.
This wording’s aning wasn’t just noticed by Chen Yan, of those present, several licensed people, how many were truly fools? Naturally, many also discerned the aning within the words.
In no ti, those on stage were vigorously shouting, while those below not called by na wore varied expressions, uncertain what turmoil had erupted within the Ghost Race.
Chen Yan observed the changes on stage and suddenly understood a fact!
The Ghost Race has internal problems!
And it’s a significant problem!!
Previously, during the opening, East Sea’s identity was introduced! He is the Sword Master under the Venerable Ancestor.
Although Chen Yan didn’t quite grasp what this "Sword Master" position entailed, likely most present didn’t fully understand the actual duties of this "Sword Master"—but that’s insignificant!
What’s crucial is "under the Venerable Ancestor"!
This indicated to everyone that East Sea’s identity is a key figure around the Ghost Race’s Venerable Ancestor.
Being an ally of the Venerable, dispatched to issue decrees, one would assu he held an extrely high position within the Ghost Race.
But the skinny old man from the Ghost Race, who claid to be an elder of the Black Wood Tribe, Chen Yan recalled he introduced himself, with the na Mu Ya...
Yet he dared use such veiled language against soone under the Venerable Ancestor!
Imagine, like an emperor sending a eunuch to deliver decrees locally.
The eunuch is reading the decree, midway, soone disrupts noisily.
