Chapter 708: What A Way To Uphold Justice!

Xiao Xing Yun couldn’t be bothered with Han Zhan Meng and continued, “This is where the problem lies. When the incident happened, Yan Yao did not call off the wedding officially because she could not bear to part with the title of daughter-in-law of the Xiao Family! Were you going to deny this fact?”

“The entire Blizzard Silver City knew that the marriage might be cancelled, but note, it was merely a possibility! Everyone knew the arrangement still stood! With this valid arrangement, she selfishly got involved with another man! Shameless and promiscuous, making a cuckold out of Xiao Han, marring our reputation! This is an undeniable fact! Han Zhan Meng, do you have any concerns with what I said?”

“Xiao Xing Yun! You’re spouting nonsense!” Xue Shuang Qing trembled with anger. “Ten years ago, you already made noise with regards to this, and now, you are still bringing this up? Even if it was an agreement, it was merely a verbal one! Yan Yao was never married into your family and remained pure from start till end! How did we tarnish your reputation! Is the Xiao Family even worthy of it! What do you think you are?!”

“Hahahaha! Well said; now you have finally spoken from your heart! For the sake of Silver City, generations of the Xiao Family have always served and worked our hearts out with loyalty! To think that you would question us on what we consider ourselves to be! To say that we were unworthy! Hahaha! Ancestors, did you hear that clearly? This is how the descendants of the Han Family oppress us! Even for a lowly wife to scold the head of the Xiao Family! Such great humiliation will not be tolerated! From today onward, the Xiao Family will have nothing to do with the Han Family!”

Xiao Xing Yun laughed cruelly and suddenly turned to face the painting of the ancestors of Blizzard Silver City. “First Ancestor Xing Chen! You lost your life protecting your sworn brother back then, but did you think that hundreds of years later, your own descendants would be humiliated and oppressed like this? If you are watching from above, I wonder how sad you feel, if you’d regret what you did back then!”

Tears streamed down Xiao Xing Yun’s face as he mourned bitterly, “As long as the Silver Blizzard City remains, the Xiao Family’s descendants will never perish! Master Han, you made this blood oath before the heroes of the world, but to think that today, your descendants are trying to wipe the Xiao Family out… If you are watching, open your eyes and see how pitiful we have become!”

“Xiao Xing Yun! Y-you are utterly shameless!” Han Zhan Meng was vibrating with anger. If he could, he would strangle Xiao Xing Yun to death this instant! After all these years in Blizzard Silver City, he never knew that this elder was such a great actor!

All this nonsense spouted was enough to make someone’s lungs explode from anger!

“To think that the descendants of the Xiao Family are so ill-fated!” Xiao Xing Yun continued to cry sorrowfully. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, “Finally, there’s somewhere to seek justice! The fair and just Three Holy Lands have always helped people. Today, the esteemed elders of three Holy Lands have graced us with their presence; it is a great chance to seek justice for the oppression the Xiao Family have suffered! Return peace to Blizzard Silver City! There must be someone who is a fair judge of all these actions!”

After making this convincing speech, he turned around and looked at Mo Xiao Yao as he bowed deeply. Joy and grief appeared on his face, like a tenant who had been oppressed for thousands of years and was finally freed.

“Elder Mo, you are here to witness everything today! The Xiao Family is faced with disaster of our clan being wiped out with little chance of survival! Please seek justice for us! Let the world know that justice exists! Loyalty is not to be insulted! Please… uphold justice for us!”

Xiao Xing Yun bowed deeply again without raising his head.

Behind him, the elders of the Xiao Family stumbled their way forward and knelt to the ground, crying, “Great Three Holy Lands, please investigate and seek justice for us!”

The synchronization in their actions and speech was incredible, almost as if it were rehearsed beforehand.

Han Zhan Meng was so overwhelmed by anger that he could not speak. Xiao Xing Yun had twisted the facts so blatantly, literally speaking without any conscience! Despite his convincing and moving performance and acting, not a single sentence was truthful!

To be able to learn such an ability after living for so long, truly, he was a great talent, an incredible talent!

Had Xiao Xing Yun practiced with such rigour in his martial arts, even becoming a Saint would not have been impossible for him!

One could truly become unparalleled in the world by being shameless!

Instantly, noises broke out across the hall. The elders from the Han Family were appalled by his shamelessness!

Despite everyone being aware of the truth, Xiao Xing Yun had managed to twist lies into truth! It was the Xiao Family who had oppressed and harmed others, but he made himself the victim!

“Xiao Xing Yun, do you have shame! You are destroying the reputation of the Xiao Family’s ancestors!”

“Xiao Xing Yun! To think you could be this shameless when you are this old! Everyone knows how the Xiao Family has been in Blizzard Silver City! How do you have the cheek to spout such nonsense!”

“Xiao Xing Yun! You being shameless was enough, but to think that the entire Xiao Family is just as shameless as you! To even carry out such a shameless act, I must have been blind for not realizing how despicable you were!”

“…”

Had the experts of three Holy Lands not be present, the hall would have gone through a bloodbath.

The Venerable of Life and Death from the Supreme Golden City let out a solemn look and coughed, and his vigil eyes scanned the entire hall. Everyone was instantly silenced by his aura.

“I am an outsider in the argument between the Han Family and the Xiao Family, and O should not interfere. However, after observing this whole time, I do understand a little of the situation. Not sure if Han Zhan Meng and Xiao Xing Yun would be willing to listen my opinion regarding the justice in this matter?” Wei Kong Qun spoke slowly.

“Venerable Wei, do speak; we will definitely listen and obey your words.” Xiao Xing Yun bowed respectfully and stayed in that position.

Han Zhan Meng pondered for a moment and said, “”Venerable Wei, do feel to speak if you have any suggestions regarding the current situation. I happen to seek your view on what to do.”

While Han Zhan Meng made it sound pretty, everyone could tell that he had left room for discussion. Anyone could tell the difference between heeding advice obediently and seeking suggestions.

Wei Kong Qun spoke with a smile. “For hundreds of years, the two families have been friends, and when facing the imminent threat, wasting time in a commotions over such trivial marriage matters would only bring loss! The influence and power of Blizzard Silver City is not achieved by merely the powers of either the Han Family nor Xiao Family alone. If I put it this way, do any of you have any issues?”

Xiao Xing Yun replied respectfully, “Venerable Wei speaks with such enlightenment, I am ashamed.”

Han Zhan Meng felt that something was off. What intentions do you have, speaking like this? What does the threat have to do with the Han Family? What imminent threat to the city? When the Jun Family attacks, their target would only be the Xiao Family.

What do you mean by “wasting time in a commotion over such trivial marriage matters” when there was such a huge discrepancy? However, with Venerable Wei Kong Qun’s status, Han Zhan Meng wouldn’t dare accidentally offend him. Hence he replied unwillingly, “Venerable Wei Kong Qun is correct.”

“I’ll continue to speak if that’s the case,” Wei Kong Qun said. “Since the building of Blizzard Silver City, Han Family and Xiao Family have contributed and sacrificed greatly; or you can say, Blizzard Silver City belongs to Xiao Family and Han Family, and there is no difference! Am I right to say this?”

Xiao Xing Yun nodded aggressively in agreement.

The more Han Zhan Meng listened, the more odd it sounded. He frowned. What “Blizzard Silver City belongs to Xiao Family and Han Family”? Blizzard Silver City had always belonged to Han Family! This way of speaking was completely diluting and mixing the truth!

“Since the two families are one, then it makes no difference if the Han Family or Xiao Family is the master. If this is the case, since it is the cause of this disagreement, isn’t it easy to resolve! Since the Han Family has been masters for hundreds of years, why not give it temporarily to the Xiao Family? After all, it does not matter which family it is! It is still Blizzard Silver City! For the sake of the greater good, I’d advise Master Han to give in temporarily.”

“You mean… to ask me to hand the Lord’s position to the Xiao Family?” Han Zhan Meng questioned in shock! To think that the fair and just Three Holy Lands would utter such bullshit!

Who are you even?

A matter as big as changing dynasties would be as simple as a single sentence?

What’s happening?

Your one sentence and everyone in Blizzard Silver City will adopt ‘Xiao’ as their surname?

For generations, the countries and territories of Emperors were claimed by their generals. By your logic, a mere discussion can put a general in a position of supreme power? Complete bullshit!

Incredibly brainless! And someone like this is a commander of three Holy Lands?

“That’s right, I made this suggestion out of goodwill. Both your families have been torn apart by who sits in the position of the Lord. To ignore the teachings of your ancestors and cut off the hundreds of years of friendship and brotherhood for this?”

Wei Kong Qun sighed, “By letting the Xiao Family take the Lord’s position today is a great way to prove the mutual respect your families have for each other! For the sake of this deep bond and brotherly ties of hundreds of years! Wealth and riches are superficial; what harm is there in letting it go? Furthermore, this will be a great affair that will be spoken about greatly by the people of this world!”

“Brother Wei speaks sensibly. When the Han Family moved into Blizzard Silver City, the vow became the ancestral teachings for the generations without change over the past hundred years! This vow was the model example for the rest of the world!” Mo Xiao Yao exclaimed. “Today, the Xiao Family has become the Lord of the City, naturally also having to make an oath to protect the interests of the Han Family forever!”

Working in sync, with just these few sentences, they forcefully changed the Lord of the City!

“That’s right! Before the experts of the Three Holy Lands, I, Xiao Xing Yun swear that from today on, the Xiao Family will never abandon the Han Family! As long as the Silver City still stands, the lineage of the Han Family will never break! Through generations, we will be brothers, and this oath is unbreakable regardless of life or death!

Xiao Xing Yun’s excited and joyous expression could not be hidden any longer. He had great control, but seeing that his lifelong goal was about to be achieved, he could no longer hold it in. He had also wanted to make an oath, but he was too overwhelmed to think of any fancy way to say it, so he just blurted out the ancestral oath of the Han Family after changing one word.

“Furthermore, we have had countless commotions over the trivial matters of our children in recent years, which was truly inappropriate! I’m ashamed to my ancestors to the care of the previous generations of Han Family… I sincerely ask for forgiveness and assure that such problems will never happen again!”
