Chapter 215: Negotiating Compensation, Taking the Holy Maiden Away

Qin Xiao’s seven consecutive blasts were nearly instantaneous. By the time Yao Tiansheng completely vanished, everything had happened so fast that the entire Tianyuan Sect remained in a state of shock.

With Yao Zhan held in check too, the sect finally understood how far Qin Xiao had come. They could no longer match him.

“First, I have no desire to go to war with the Tianyuan Sect. I believe everyone here is aware of the grudge between me and Yao Tiansheng. This enmity had to be resolved sooner or later. Not to mention, he actually colluded with that bullshit Heir Apparent, using Lin Shimeng as a concubine to threaten me. If I didn’t eliminate this person, I wouldn’t have been able to sleep in peace.”

Qin Xiao could have killed Yao Zhan while Seven Stars Tower’s Left and Right Envoys held him. But he still felt some gratitude toward Tianyuan Sect. His master had once belonged to it and had even died in battle for this wretched sect.

“What? All of this was the Great Elder’s idea? He claimed that the Heir Apparent had learned of our Tianyuan Sect’s outstanding Holy Maiden and wished to take her as a Dao Companion. It seems the Great Elder deliberately attached himself to the Heir Apparent to seek revenge against Qin Xiao, completely disregarding the Sect’s safety! So selfish and self-serving! Such a Sect traitor deserves to die!”

Wan Rongyang of the Immortal Beast Peak quickly chimed in, echoing Qin Xiao’s words.

Of course he knew what was truly going on, but he had to pretend ignorance. This was to leave a way out for the Sect. Under the current circumstances, if they wanted to yield without losing face, feigning ignorance was their only option.

“That’s right, we were all deceived by the Great Elder! So he was actually this kind of person. He deserved to die!”

The Third Elder, Kang Zhengye, was also an old fox. Naturally understanding Wan Rongyang’s intent, he quickly agreed.

They had to play dumb. Qin Xiao’s people still held the Supreme Elder, the sect’s strongest fighter. If he died, it would be a disaster for Tianyuan Sect.

“I knew nothing of this matter. If you have killed him, then so be it. But he was, after all, the Great Elder of my Tianyuan Sect. If you do not provide an explanation, how can my Tianyuan Sect continue to stand in the cultivation world?”

Yao Zhan knew the current situation was dire, but this matter could not be settled so simply. Otherwise, the Tianyuan Sect would lose all its remaining face.
