Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 672
Chapter 672 Punish Traitors
Facing the questioning of the Tang Clan, the Zhong Clan was speechless. They did not know how to reply. It was indeed illogical that a peak Divine Martial 3rd layer was killed by a Divine Martial 2nd layer.
“It’s really ridiculous. I didn’t even know that I was betrayed by a traitor. Do you think that Yang Xin really betrayed the Tang Family? It’s just a spy placed by our Tang Family next to you!”
Ye Feng suddenly revealed a faint sneer. No one understood what Ye Feng wanted to do.
“Ye Feng, stop talking nonsense!”
Yang Xin shouted loudly. He had already offended the Tang Clan. If the Zhong Clan could not accommodate him, then Yang Xin could only apologize with his death.
The speaker didn’t mean it, but the listener did. Zhong Li shook his head and looked at Yang Xin.
First, Ye Feng killed the assassin of the Reaper Organization. Zhong Li suspected that this was impossible. It must be fake news. Also, Ye Feng killed Zhong Kui, it must be fake news. It was possible that Yang Xin deliberately gave him the news, causing the Zhong Family to lose their judgment.
Zhong Li began to guess that the information Yang Xin provided was fake. The person who really killed the Reaper Organization and Zhong Kui should be the Tang Family, not Ye Feng. However, now that Ye Feng had replaced them, the Zhong Family still had nothing to say. Because Ye Feng was only at the Divine Martial Second Stage, no explanation could make sense.
Looking at Zhong Li’s gaze, Yang Xin’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that Zhong Li believed Ye Feng’s words.
“Zhong Kui was really killed by Ye Feng, it’s absolutely true!”
Yang Xin’s face revealed a trace of panic as he said loudly.
It was fine if he didn’t explain. This explanation made Zhong Li even more suspicious. Why did Yang Xin insist that Ye Feng had killed him? If he said that it was the Tang Family, Zhong Li still had room to maneuver.
“Shut up!”
This time, it was Zhong Li’s turn to shout at him, telling Yang Xin to shut up first. It seemed that he was beginning to suspect that Yang Xin was really a spy planted by the Tang Clan.
“Lord Zhong Li, don’t fall for his plan to sow discord. He’s just trying to sow discord between us.”
How could Yang Xin not know about Ye Feng’s tricks, wanting to sow discord between him and the Zhong Clan, so as to achieve his goal?
Although Zhong Li was clear, the reality in front of him could not help but believe it. If it was Zhong Kui killed by Ye Feng and the assassins of the Reaper Organization, he would not believe it. Moreover, the second time he sent three more Reaper Assassins, they were all gone, so there must be someone secretly helping Ye Feng.
“How ridiculous! In the end, you don’t even know that we played around with you!”
Ye Feng sneered. Seeing that the separation had almost succeeded, he revealed a strange smile.
“Zhong Li, you still have something to say. What does your Zhong Clan’s death have to do with our Tang Clan? You are now indiscriminately injuring our Tang Clan disciples. How should we settle this debt?”
This time, it was the Tang Clan’s turn to attack. If the Zhong Clan did not give an explanation, the Tang Clan would probably not let it go.
Zhong Li couldn’t say anything now. Originally, he could have killed Ye Feng, but when the people from the Tang Clan arrived in time, they could threaten Ye Feng. Now, Ye Feng was harassing him. Now, no one believed Yang Xin’s words. Zhong Li was in a very difficult situation.
“Your Tang Clan is so despicable. The people who secretly killed our Zhong Clan still refuse to admit it. Now, let’s fight back. I think you are the most sinister villains.”
Another man from the Zhong Clan stood out and pointed at the Tang Clan. Since they had torn apart their faces, they no longer treated each other politely. In any case, the two clans were already at the same level in Fire City.
“How ridiculous! Our Tang Clan is despicable! Do you dare to say that in front of everyone? A group of experts from your dignified Zhong Clan ran over to stop an outer sect disciple from our Tang Clan. They even wanted to kill a murderer. Who is more despicable?”
A man from the Tang Clan also stood out and shouted loudly with a ridiculous expression. The surrounding people could hear him clearly.
Neither side allowed any of them to fight head-on outside Fire City, as if they were facing each other head-on.
Everyone spoke their own reasoning, but they were all very rational. They did not continue to attack. Once they attacked, it would cause a great battle between the two clans. After all, both clans had sent out most of their elites.
“Hmph, you injured our Tang Clan disciples. You definitely can’t let it go like this. You must apologize!”
The Tang Clan took a step back. As long as the Zhong Clan apologized, this matter would be settled.
“Don’t even think about it. If you want us to apologize for killing our Zhong Clan members, there’s no way for you to do so. I’ll see how long your Tang Clan can protect him. One day, I’ll personally take his life.”
The Zhong Clan did not show weakness. They had already guessed that Zhong Kui was killed by an expert from the Tang Clan, not Ye Feng. They also began to suspect whether Yang Xin was an undercover agent.
“Ye Feng, what do you think!”
The two sides were in a deadlock. Tang Liangyun asked Ye Feng, hoping that Ye Feng would come up with an idea.
“It’s not impossible to let the Zhong Clan off. As long as the Zhong Clan admits that the Tang Clan didn’t kill them, this matter will be settled.”
Ye Feng pondered for a moment. At this moment, he did not have any good plan. Successfully separating them had already been very successful. It was impossible for the Zhong Clan to apologize.
The two sides couldn’t fight. Once they fought, it would be a life-and-death battle. At that time, he would be the one to be affected.
Ye Feng had to spend this year carefully. In the past, Ye Feng would definitely kill the Zhong Clan and the others regardless of everything. Now was different. He had to consider the future. Another half a year was the time for the inner competition of the Fire City Tang Clan disciples. Ye Feng had to hold on until then.
“Did you hear that? As long as you admit that Zhong Kui was not killed by our Tang Clan, then let’s forget about this matter. Otherwise … Hmph!”
Since Ye Feng had already compromised, why didn’t the people of the Tang Clan do anything? Today, this matter had already been very successful.
Successfully rescuing Ye Feng and disrupting the Zhong Clan’s ambitions, and now successfully separating the traitor from them, it was simply a three-pronged move.
“Impossible, Zhong Kui was killed by you!”
An elder of the Zhong Clan believed that Zhong Kui was killed by the Tang Clan.
“Do you have any evidence? Shut up if you don’t have any evidence!”
Tang Liangyun shouted loudly, his voice resounding like thunder throughout the hill.
“I admit that Zhong Kui was not killed by the Tang Family, but this matter will not end like this!”
Zhong Li saw that there were no benefits to take. It was impossible for him to kill Ye Feng. There was no point in pestering him. Moreover, there were already many experts from the Tang Clan. If they continued to pester him, both sides would be injured.
“Since that’s the case, then our Tang Clan will forgive you. Remember, it was you who apologized to us!”
Tang Liangyun had a mocking look on his face, and he didn’t forget to sneer with a hint of sarcasm.
Zhong Li’s face was terrifyingly gloomy. His heart was filled with anger, but he couldn’t vent it.
“Don’t worry, one day I will personally kill this kid.”
Zhong Li threatened and left with the others.
“Wait!”
Ye Feng suddenly stopped the other party.
“What? You still have something to do!”
Seeing that Ye Feng was speaking, Zhong Li’s eyes were filled with malice.
“Do you still want to bring this traitor back? Aren’t you afraid of sending us news?”
Ye Feng revealed a wicked smile, extremely evil.
“Get lost!”
Only then did Zhong Li realize that Yang Xin had left with them. He kicked towards Yang Xin and directly kicked Yang Xin away. A moment ago, the discord had convinced Zhong Li that Yang Xin had been planted in the Zhong Clan’s spies.
The reason why Ye Feng mentioned it now was because Zhong Li thought that Ye Feng was protecting Yang Xin. Once he followed them back to the Zhong Clan, he would definitely not let Yang Xin off lightly.
Actually, Zhong Li’s thinking was wrong. Ye Feng did not want to protect Yang Xin at all, but wanted to kill Yang Xin so that he could stay. The two sides’ thinking went against each other.
“Lord Zhong Li, you can leave me alone. Once I stay, they will definitely kill me.”
Yang Xin suddenly knelt on the ground and begged Zhong Li to take him away.
“Do you think I haven’t seen through your tricks? You still want to continue hiding in our Zhong Clan? Don’t even think about it!”
Zhong Li kicked Yang Xin away and left with everyone, leaving Yang Xin kneeling on the ground.
Seeing Zhong Li and the others leave, Yang Xin’s face turned ashen. Of course, he knew what would happen if he fell into the hands of the Tang Clan.
“Yang Xin, you dare to betray the clan, traitor!”
At this time, Tang Liangyun shouted loudly, causing Yang Xin to tremble in fear.
“It’s not like that. I was also forced to do something helpless. The Zhong Family kidnapped my family. I couldn’t not agree to it, so I betrayed the Tang Family.”
At this moment, Yang Xin did not look like a month ago. He was like a pug, kneeling on the ground and accepting the punishment of the Tang Clan.
“Hmph, do you think I believe your explanation? What promise did the Zhong Clan make to betray the Tang Clan? Quickly tell me! If it comes from the truth, I can spare your life.”
As an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, his body naturally possessed dignity. With a few loud shouts, Yang Xin’s heart began to collapse.
“I said, I said, as long as the elders are willing to spare my life!”
Yang Xin didn’t care about face as he kowtowed and told the whole story.
It turned out that Yang Xin’s family was under the control of the Zhong Clan. Helplessly, Yang Xin was wary of him. In addition, the Zhong Clan had promised that as long as Yang Xin was willing to be an insider, the Zhong Clan would not treat him unfairly. After the matter was successful, they would grant him the title of Zhong Clan’s outer elder.
Originally, Yang Xin could have told the clan, and the clan would also help him deal with it and rescue the clan. However, Yang Xin told himself that he had no chance of making a name for himself in the Tang Clan. After all, he was a disciple with an external surname, so it was very difficult for him to make a name for himself.
The Zhong Clan threw out an olive branch and even continuously used resources to tempt them. In the end, Yang Xin finally agreed to the Zhong Clan as an insider under the sugar-coated cannonball.
After understanding the consequences, no one felt sympathy, and even contempt.
The Zhong Clan had only promised him a mirrored moon, and now that there was a glimmer of estrangement, they had completely ignored him.
Moreover, in the Tang Clan, as long as you have the ability, even outsiders will have a chance to make a name for themselves. It depends on whether you are willing to work hard or not. Yang Xin just wants to take a shortcut, but he didn’t expect it to end up like this.
“If you betray the clan, you should be executed according to the clan rules!”
The Law Enforcement Hall Elder announced the family rules. Although Yang Xin admitted his mistake, the family rules could not be changed.
“I beg the clan to forgive me!”
Yang Xin kowtowed again and again, and his forehead was broken. He hoped that he could ask the clan for forgiveness.
“Save it for the clan rules. Someone, abolish his cultivation!”
Tang Liangyun instructed. The two of them walked out to abolish Yang Xin’s cultivation and bring him back to the clan.
“You guys are so ruthless!”
Yang Xin suddenly stood up, and a powerful aura burst out from his body. He swept his palm towards the two of them and actually resisted. Then, his body shot into the distance.
