The conflict between Su Yu and Xin Jian was now beyond reconciliation.
Previously, during the banquet, the disagreent between them had not grown to the extent that they would fight each other at close quarters.
But the death of a son was enough to worsen their relationship, to the point where their feud was as profound as a sea of blood.
If in the future, Xin Jian was killed, Su Yu would never be able to clear himself of suspicion.
In killing Xin Jian’s son and then Xin Jian, the Alliance Master had indeed been ticulous with his sches!
The Family Master defended Su Yu. “Xin Jian, stop this nonsense. The Silver God has been with us all this while, how could he have had the ti to kill Xin Chen?”.
“That’s right, Xin Deity, there must be so misunderstanding. We can all vouch for him!”
Xin Jian laughed in rage. “If there’s no proof, why would I hold him culpable for killing my son? You ask him! What is this?”
Xin Jian angrily tossed a stem of vine onto the ground.
“This is the vine that killed my son! Not even leaving behind his divine soul!” Xin Jian’s murderous state was shocking. “You ask him who this vine belongs to!”
All the deities stared at the vine, which emitted the authentic, pure scent of Ancient Bronze Trees.
And all of them knew that Su Yu beca the Silver God because of the powerful Tree Goddess. It was even said that she was the Ancient Bronze Tree Goddess herself!
Many of the deities turned to look at Su Yu, with shock and surprise in their eyes. Was it necessary to murder Xin Chen and take revenge on the Xin Family, just because of a dispute?
The Linlang Family Master sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right and was unfriendly to Su Yu. Hurriedly, he said, “Silver God, could you invite the Tree Goddess, so the people can question her?”
“We trust the Silver God. I don’t believe that sounds like a man who can navigate in and out of the Demonic Dinsion at will.”
“Quite right, Xin Jian, calm down, there must be so misunderstanding.”
After so discussion, they discovered that Su Yu was a courageous, intelligent man with a broad vision. He did not seem like soone who would take revenge just because of an argunt.
The eyes of the deities were fixed on Su Yu, full of anticipation until Su Yu’s soft sigh made their faces drop.
“I am sorry she is not by my side!”
Xin Jian held his old, weathered head high, and burst out in desolate laughter. “There you go, and you say it’s a misunderstanding!”
The Linlang Family Master stood up for Su Yu and said anxiously, “Silver God, can you tell the whereabouts of the Tree Goddess? The issue will only be clarified if we find her.”
Su Yu shook his head. “I’m very sorry, I can’t reveal where she went.”
“You...” Even the Linlang Family Master began to waver.
“One of your people has committed murder, and yet you won’t divulge her whereabouts?”. Even if he did not want to suspect Su Yu, it had put doubt in his mind.
“Silence! The feud arising from the death of my son can never be reconciled, and no one can stop now!” When Xin Jian threw a tantrum, no one in the Great Western Alliance could deter him.
The Linlang Family Master said broodingly, “Xin Jian, please calm down. The matter has not been thoroughly investigated and the truth has not yet co to light, so don’t harm a good man.”
“We can only move forward once we find that persecuting Tree Goddess, don’t you agree?”
After a mont of hesitation, the other deities also spoke up for Su Yu.
“Right, this wasn’t necessarily ordered by the Silver God. Perhaps the Ancient Bronze Tree Goddess was responsible?”
“I hope you can stay calm, Xin Family Master, and do not act impetuously. The Silver God is an excellent talent that is rare to find in the Great Western Alliance. If you kill him without proof, wouldn’t that be wrong?”
All the deities tried to console and persuade him. Although Su Yu was the biggest suspect, they were reluctant to see the great man of eternity, who killed in and out of the Demonic Dinsion, die at the hands of Xin Jian.
“Get out of my way! I’ll see who tries to stop !” Xin Jian was in great wrath. He bellowed deafeningly and struck out without care. “He was the mastermind behind the scenes!”
Xin Jian’s peak divine energy swept across each corner and the three divine family masters, who had co to stop him, imdiately recoiled from the impact.
“I’m going to kill whoever gets in my way!” Xin Jian yelled in rage, giving off a murderous vibration and making the other family masters, who were preparing to intervene, hold back.
After a brief mont of hesitation, Xin Jian’s fatal blow flew in Su Yu’s direction!
“What arrogance!”
Right at that mont, a bright, clear voice sounded from so unknown place. Then, a magnificent figure giving off astonishing divine energy teleported into Su Yu’s body like a ray of light.
Clenching his right palm into a fist, he launched it at the haughty Xin Jian, who was sent flying by the blow, recoiling a few million miles away.
“Alliance Master!” Xin Jian gritted his teeth, and demanded, with deep resentnt, “Why did you stop from taking my revenge?”
The Alliance Master replied coldly, “Xin Jian, who do you think you are! As the first-ranking anti-demon Family Master, you ought to set a good example and beco a role model for the world.”
“Won’t you end up a laughing stock with the Great Western Alliance by taking the life of a deity like that without proof, but rely based on speculation?”
“If everyone behaved like you, wantonly killing deities, the Great Western Alliance would be in chaos by now!”
Xin Jian had failed in his attempt at vengeance and had been attacked by the Alliance Master instead. After sustaining injuries, he was given a lecture, right in front of all the other deities.
Realizing that he wouldn’t get his revenge that day, Xin Jian looked up to the sky and laughed in desolation. “Hahaha... As the first-ranking anti-demon Family Master, I can’t even avenge my own son!”
The deities secretly raised their guard. Xin Jian was infuriated to a perilous degree and could assault anyone at any ti.
“Fine! I’ll bear with it today but once I find that woman I’ll confront you face to face!” Xin Jian finally regained his composure, his old, bloodshot eyes were emitting imnse hatred as he stared coldly at Su Yu. “By then, I will have cut you into a thousand pieces!”
Swish!
Xin Jian took off to leave, and the deities all heaved a long sigh of relief.
No one had expected the newcor Silver God to develop such a grueso, irreconcilable blood feud with the first-ranking Xin Family Master!
The Alliance Master frowned, as a worried look filled his eyes. “Silver God, why don’t you co to the Alliance Master’s mansion? I’m worried that Xin Jian might get too caught up in his emotions, and make trouble for you again.”
“Many thanks for your offer, Alliance Master, but I have neither compunction nor sha. As long as the Xin Family Master retains so degree of rationality, I will be fine.”
The Alliance Master nodded worriedly. “All right, if there’s anything you need, just co to the Alliance Master’s mansion.”
“Thank you.”
The Alliance Master looked around at the people present at the scene. “All of you are dismissed.”
Once he had finished speaking, the Alliance Master left before everyone else.
The Linlang Deity said, “Silver God, you should stay at the Linlang mansion. The Alliance Master’s concern is not unreasonable.”
“Xin Jian had great affection for Xin Chen, and now that he’s dead, he won’t let you go that easily. At least if you stay at the Linlang mansion, Xin Jian will not be able to act too recklessly.”
“I guess obedience is better than courtesy.”
The Linlang Deity flashed a tender smile upon feeling Su Yu’s goodwill.
Su Yu had rejected the invitation of the Alliance Master but gladly accepted this one.
“I will bring all the people at your place over. From today, try not to step out of the house.”
“Thanks a lot.”
Upon returning to the room prepared for him, Su Yu’s lips curled into an icy smile. “The Alliance Master is about to get his hands on Xin Jian next, is he?”
When the Alliance Master stopped Xin Jian from killing Su Yu, it wasn’t out of any benign intention.
If Su Yu got killed, after Xin Jian’s death, who then would be under suspicion?
