"Hmph, you've already had your ridians injured by one move of mine, and you still want to fight? If you keep trying, you'll lose all your dignity! Give up!"
Murong Tiannan fell, and Murong Tiancheng laughed heartily, approaching him, looking down arrogantly, and said, "Murong Tiannan, I'll ask you once more: will you step down voluntarily, or do you need
to make the final move to convince you completely?!"
"Pah! Despicable!"
At this mont, Murong Tiannan realized clearly that he had been poisoned.
He knew this poison would harm his body whenever he circulated his True Qi. Therefore, he was certain that this poison must have been administered to him this morning since he still cultivated last night!
In his heart, he could already guess who was behind it.
"Elder brother, let it go, pass the position of Family Head to them, just let it be!"
At this mont, seeing that Murong Tiannan was seriously injured and that Murong Tiancheng and Murong Tianxiao were domineering and well-prepared, Murong Tianren understood that there was likely no way to resolve this power struggle.
Because Murong Tiancheng had a joint letter, and the procedure was legitimate, even if they reported to the Ice Emperor, they wouldn't receive any assistance. Therefore, Murong Tianren had already compromised in his heart.
"Impossible... If I were defeated openly by him and gave up the position of Family Head, I would have nothing to say. But, hmph, he actually colluded with my servant to poison ; such a vile person isn't fit to be the Murong Family Head!" Murong Tiannan said angrily.
Murong Tiancheng remained indifferent, smiling, "Losing and then accusing
of poisoning... Six years ago, when you defeated , I didn't complain. I simply took my branch family and left the Imperial City to cultivate for six years. Now, upon my return, you, Murong Tiannan, have turned into soone who loses but refuses to admit defeat? Hahaha, is this the deanor of the Murong Family Head?"
Murong Tiancheng countered, clenching his right hand to gather a stream of fiery red True Qi, and said through clenched teeth, "Fine, we are still in a duel, and by the rules, if you don't concede, then I'll just keep fighting until you do. This is what you brought upon yourself!"
With a concentrated palm wind, Murong Tiancheng directly struck at Murong Tiannan!
Murong Tiannan's face changed dramatically, as he tried to gather all his True Qi to resist, but his Dantian fluctuated, causing him to instantly spit out another mouthful of fresh blood—
At the sa ti, Murong Tiancheng's fierce palm was already inches away!
"Sss!"
Murong Tiannan's expression changed, unable to resist, filled with despair!
Boom!
However, just when he thought Murong Tiancheng's palm would end him, several streams of True Qi suddenly surged from the side, one incredibly strong, directly repelling Murong Tiancheng's palm!
At the critical mont of life and death for Murong Tiannan, Murong Tianren, Murong Fei, and Qin Tian acted almost simultaneously.
However, it was Qin Tian's True Qi Power that was the strongest, being the force that slightly pushed Murong Tiancheng back.
"What do you all intend to do? Are you rebelling?"
Seeing three people intervene, Murong Tianxiao, who was the referee, had a change of expression and sternly scolded, "The rules of the power struggle were set by the ancestors. Murong Tianren, as the referee, you dare to act as well, hmph, are you disregarding the family laws?"
Murong Tianren pursed his lips, "The outco has been determined. If Tiancheng's palm struck, the Family Head would die imdiately. We're all Murong Family people, there's no need to be so ruthless, right?"
"The outco is decided, and you, as the referee, have said so."
Murong Tianxiao heard this and smiled smugly, looking towards Murong Tiancheng.
At that mont, Murong Tiancheng was looking at Qin Tian, eyebrows furrowed, "Who are you? Are you a mber of the Murong Family? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"The affairs of the Murong Family, how can outsiders intervene! Soone, capture him!"
Murong Tianxiao recognized the legitimate family mbers and, not having seen Qin Tian before, imdiately gave the order!
Qin Tian waved his hand and laughed out loud, "Hahaha, the reason why you haven't seen
is because you lack knowledge!"
As Qin Tian spoke, he walked over to Murong Fei's side, and in front of everyone, embraced Murong Fei, saying, "I am Qin Tian, husband of Murong Fei. Do you think my wife's family matters don't concern ?"
Whoosh!
Everyone was taken aback.
However, those from the Murong Family naturally recognized Qin Tian and knew of Qin Tian and Murong Fei's relationship. Seeing Qin Tian appear at this ti, they all admired Qin Tian greatly.
At such a critical mont, Qin Tian had actually stepped in to save Murong Tiannan's life.
They all knew that before, their relationship was like water and fire.
But they never expected that Qin Tian, esteed as Marquis Qin, would repay grievances with virtue and co to help at this ti.
"Oh? You're Murong Fei's husband? Why haven't I heard of it? How co I didn't know about your wedding?" Murong Tianxiao said disdainfully.
Murong Tiancheng also smiled coldly, "Who are you, pretending to be Murong Fei's husband? Do you know the consequences? None of us knew Murong Fei was married, hmph, do you think pretending makes it so?"
"This is not pretense," Qin Tian said mildly, "You can inquire around the Murong Family premises to see if I, Marquis Qin Tian, have indeed married Murong Fei! Hmph, the people around will not lie!"
"Marquis Qin Tian!?"
Upon hearing the na, Murong Tiancheng and Murong Tianxiao were simultaneously astonished, their eyes imdiately focusing on Qin Tian.
Even the hundred or so branch family mbers behind them were in tumult, all eyes on Qin Tian, whispering among themselves.
Marquis Qin Tian, a na renowned in the current Imperial City.
Even outside the Imperial City, in other cities, Qin Tian's na was well known.
Murong Tiancheng looked at Qin Tian, thinking, no wonder he acted so swiftly before, he is indeed that Marquis Qin!
"I don't care who you are; today it's a Murong Family matter, you'd best leave and not ddle!"
Murong Tianxiao stood forth, speaking coldly.
They were determined not to let Qin Tian interfere as they saw victory in sight.
"Master, we've heard the rumors about Marquis Qin and Miss Murong Fei before; they haven't married, and it's said that the Murong Family Head and Marquis Qin had animosities, always refusing to marry Miss Murong Fei to Marquis Qin."
At this mont, a servant of Murong Tiancheng stepped forward, whispering to him.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Murong Tiancheng smiled upon hearing this, then looked at Murong Tiannan, saying, "Murong Tiannan, this Qin Tian claims to be married to Murong Fei, is that true? Is this Qin Tian your son-in-law now? Hmph, now that the entire family is here, as the Family Head, you'd better think carefully about your answer!"
Everyone's eyes all gathered once more on Murong Tiannan, who was attempting to detoxify.
Everyone in the Murong Family's Imperial City main vein knew full well about the irreconcilable enmity between him and Qin Tian.
