Blade Drawing Tournament (4)

He could act as if nothing had happened, but the Wu family couldn't, especially Wu Zhenggang's status, which was only slightly inferior to that of the family head Wu Sihai. He already had a group of followers in the Wu family, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to oppose Wu Sihai, the family head.

Wu Sihai was stunned on the spot, and the whole group was dumbfounded. The first to react was Wu Zhenggang's backer, Wu Bao, who teleported in front of Yue Qianchou, his old bones clenching his fists so tightly they cracked, and his old face turned red as he roared, "Yue Qianchou, you... insolence!"

"How have I been presumptuous?" Yue Qianchou asked with a squinty smile.

The group snapped out of their shock. The five Clan Elders of the Four Great Families teleported over and stood between the two, unsure what to say. Especially Bi Yunshan, the Clan Elder. In terms of actual seniority, Yue Qianchou was Yue Qianchou their elder. For the other three families, disregarding ancestral precepts from over two thousand years ago wasn't considered excessive. Therefore, now that Yue Qianchou had killed the Wu family elder, Bi Yunshan was in the most awkward position. Helping him was one thing, not helping him was another, after all, behind Yue Qianchou stood their family's Old Ancestor, a source of pride for generations!

But Yue Qianchou's killing without any reason is wrong! Bi Yunshan, guarding against Wu Bao, asked Yue Qianchou, "Yue Qianchou, why did you kill Wu Zhenggang? If you don't give a plausible reason, I'm afraid the Wu family will not tolerate you."

The four patriarchs looked at each other and simply remained silent. It was better to leave such a thorny matter to the six Clan Elders.

Reasons? There are plenty of reasons. Yue Qianchou sneered, "You are Bi Yunshan from the Four Great Families. If I'm not mistaken?"

Bi Yunshan frowned, then nodded and said, "Exactly."

"Alright! I haven't explicitly revealed my identity before, but I'm sure you've already guessed it, so I'll tell you formally now."

After bowing respectfully towards the Demon Ghost Domain, Yue Qianchou said solemnly, "My master is Bi Changchun, the Number One Expert Under Heaven, the Punishment Envoy the Demon Ghost Domain, and a Bi Changchun in the late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator. Yue Qianchou here on my master's orders. Now that I have met my master's descendant, I must not neglect the proper etiquette. The descendants of the Bi family should pay their respects with the highest respect."

Although everyone already knew Yue Qianchou's identity, the fact that he clearly stated it from his own mouth was incredibly shocking to everyone present. Bi Yunshan and Bi Shouzhi were so excited that their lips trembled. Without saying a word, they obediently walked to Yue Qianchou and knelt down. Bi Yunshan bowed respectfully and said, "The descendants of the Bi family have been blessed by our ancestors for more than two thousand years. We dare not forget our ancestors. We Bi Yunshan and Bi Shouzhi pay our respects to you, sir. We hope that you will convey our family's greetings to our Old Ancestor."

Immediately after speaking, the two kowtowed, still deeply moved. The key to their excitement lay in Yue Qianchou's words, which touched upon their deepest pride and sense of accomplishment. Who in the Cultivation World dared to claim the Number One Expert Under Heaven? Their Bi family Old Ancestor! Who could rule the Demon Ghost Domain? It was their Old Ancestor! How many cultivators in the late Spirit Transformation stage were there? Their Old Ancestor was one. The glory of their ancestor naturally shone upon his descendants, leaving the two deeply moved.

After the father and son finished kowtowing, they remained kneeling, waiting for Yue Qianchou to tell them to rise. Yue Qianchou accepted their greetings graciously, but then turned to the other three families and said, "You three families are not, after all, direct descendants of my master. Although you uphold the ancestral teachings and regard my master as your Old Ancestor, I dare not ask too much of you. However, one should repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude. The Four Great Families who wish to kowtow and pay their respects should do so now."

Upon hearing this, the heads and Clan Elder of the Tan family and Jing family also knelt down and paid their respects. The Wu family members looked at each other in bewilderment. Logically, they should have gone over to pay their respects, but Yue Qianchou had just killed Wu Zhenggang and hadn't given a reason yet. Who could possibly lead the way in bowing down? If they wanted to pay their respects, Yue Qianchou could have given any reason! But what was going on now?

Could this kid be trying to break up the Four Great Families? Wu Sihai's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty as he looked at Yue Qianchou Yue Qianchou. As Yue Qianchou gestured for the three Lineage to rise, he inadvertently winked at him. Wu Sihai was momentarily stunned, then realized what was happening and was immediately filled with admiration. This kid was truly something else; not only had he killed Wu Zhenggang to avenge himself, but he had also managed to resolve the issue of seniority with Xue'er. His intelligence and resourcefulness were truly remarkable.

"I have received your three families' worship, which establishes my status with your three families. The Wu family is unwilling to worship me, so there is naturally no seniority relationship between me and the Wu family. Of course!" Yue Qianchou looked at the Wu family and said, "I cannot fully represent my master. This is just a matter between me and your Wu family. The Four Great Families are still the Four Great Families. There is no need to be tied together by everything endlessly."

The outcome of events did not exceed Wu Sihai's expectations, but he was unaware that Yue Qianchou had ulterior motives. He couldn't easily take money from the Wu family because of Wu Lixue's influence, so it was better to distance himself from them. However, the other three families were not weak either! He had to find a way to get them to part with some of their wealth! He had now figured it out: since Bi Changchun had delegated power to him, he could get some money from Bi Changchun's descendants without the old man taking it to heart.

"The matter of seniority has been clarified. Now let's talk about Wu Zhenggang's matter. We'll deal with things one by one, there's no rush." Yue Qianchou turned to the other three families and said, "You three families may be curious as to why I killed Wu Zhenggang. If the Wu family hasn't forgotten the reason, they should know it in their hearts. You three families might as well ask the Wu family."

Silence fell over the hall, except for Wu Bao, who was still fuming. In truth, everyone from the Four Great Families knew about the feud between Yue Qianchou and Wu Zhenggang, and that Yue Qianchou had said he would take Wu Zhenggang's life. However, the incident had happened so suddenly that even the victim himself hadn't had time to react. Although the other three families had already confirmed their seniority with Yue Qianchou, they were torn between them, and it wouldn't be good to side with either of them.

"I refuse to accept this!" Wu Bao roared, looking around at Human Path, "Although Yue Qianchou is a disciple of our Old Ancestor, what right does he have to kill people at will in my Wu family? What right does he have?"

"Don't involve my master in this matter. I'll just ask you, what right did Wu Zhenggang have to kill me? Does he not need a reason to kill others, but others need a reason to take revenge? Tell me, what right did Wu Zhenggang have? Is it just because you are his support in the Wu family that he can act recklessly?" Yue Qianchou said in an icy tone.

"I..." Wu Bao opened his mouth, knowing that what Yue Qianchou said was true, and everyone knew about it. He was at a loss for words. The key was that he couldn't win the argument, and he couldn't force Yue Qianchou either.

Whether it's reasoning or sophistry, Yue Qianchou has never been afraid of anyone. Yue Qianchou stared at Wu Bao and said in a deep voice, "I don't want any impulsive actions with the Wu family. Since you are not convinced by me, I can make an exception and take you to the Demon Ghost Domain to see my master, so that my master can judge right and wrong. I wonder if my master's words will convince you?"

Upon hearing that they were going to see Bi Changchun, everyone's eyes were fixed on Wu Bao. Whether out of envy or worry, Wu Bao was speechless.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. After I've finished what my master instructed me to do, then my master and your Old Ancestor will determine whether this matter is right or wrong. What do you think of this?" Yue Qianchou asked, looking around at everyone.

"I agree." Wu Zhen took the lead in agreeing, Wu Rui nodded in agreement, Wu Sihai naturally had nothing to say, and the other Wu family elders were even less likely to object. In the end, all Four Great Families decided to postpone the matter and wait for Bi Changchun to handle it.

Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "Alright, since you've agreed, let's put aside our grudges for now. The 'Blade Drawing Tournament' will also require the Wu family's venue, and we'll need your help with that. Let's discuss that first."
