Everything Is Tiger Demon Ancestor's Fault

Everything Is Tiger Demon Ancestor's Fault

An Bulang looked at Wu Wanyue, who was begging him for mercy, and fell silent for a moment. Then he turned to Elder Wu Xuzi in the distance and slowly said, "Just now, you said you wanted to forcibly send Ji Yinyin to become the Soaring Dragon Empire Emperor's wife?"

Elder Wu Xuzi's face instantly turned much paler. He immediately said, "It's not what you think..."

Rumble!!!

Above the sky.

Thunder exploded in broad daylight!

Before anyone could react, a streak of white lightning from the sky struck Elder Wu Xuzi squarely on the crown of his head at an unimaginable speed.

Elder Wu Xuzi still had his mouth open mid-sentence when his entire body was blasted black like charcoal. He died on the spot.

"Oh my! Tiger Demon Ancestor's backup plan is terrifying. Good thing I dodged quickly, or I'd have been the one struck by lightning." An Bulang spoke leisurely, too lazy even to put on an act as he dumped the blame on Tiger Demon Ancestor.

The scene fell silent.

No one dared refute An Bulang's words. Everyone remained silent, filled with awe.

What schemes and conspiracies? What status and power? Before An Bulang's absolute strength, they were as insignificant as bubbles that could be popped with a casual poke.

"Brother Bulang is so handsome! He was standing up for me just now!"

Watching An Bulang's figure tower over everyone present, Ji Yinyin clasped her hands before her chest, her fair chin resting lightly upon them as a rosy flush bloomed across her face.

Wu Wanyue remained kneeling on the ground, trembling all over. Without An Bulang's forgiveness, she did not even have the courage to stand.

Even Elder Wu Xuzi, at the Spirit Gathering Sixth Level, had been instantly killed in one move. How could she possibly struggle?

Thud! Thud!

Two more bodies hit the ground.

The two women, Huan Yin and Huan Ling, also knelt on the ground.

"Please, spare us..."

"We can compensate you. Whatever you want, we'll do our best to satisfy you!"

The two women's pretty faces were pale, their delicate features filled with pitiful desperation.

"Huan Yin, Huan Ling, you..." Qin Shiyue found it hard to imagine that royal elders of the mighty Soaring Dragon Empire would kneel before a young boy and beg so humbly for mercy.

"We can agree to any condition..." Huan Ling raised her watery eyes toward An Bulang, lightly biting her lip as though pledging her loyalty. The jade-white skin exposed beneath her open-collared gray robe was faintly flushed, clearly stirred and uneasy.

An Bulang glanced at her and nodded slightly. "Indeed. Two sisters as beautiful as flowers and jade, so lovely and charming—it would be such a pity to have you struck to death by lightning."

Huan Yin and Huan Ling were delighted. They had always been confident in their looks, and now it seemed An Bulang had been moved by their pitiful appearance and felt sympathy for them. In that case, even if he wanted their bodies, it was not as though they could not agree.

"If you were struck to death by lightning, you'd look far too ugly. That would be disrespectful to you! So..." An Bulang's pupils turned pure gold, and a surge of energy containing incomparably pure yang power suddenly erupted. "It would be better to burn you thoroughly into ash. That would look much better..."

"No...!!" The sisters' expressions changed drastically as they tried to flee.

But the pure golden flames clung to their bodies almost in the blink of an eye. The searing heat warped the air and burned away everything. Amid their screams, the sisters were completely reduced to ashes in less than three seconds.

Two mighty Spirit Attunement Realm cultivators were burned away without even ashes remaining!

The sight made everyone shudder in terror.

Qin Shiyue kept backing away, her face utterly pale.

She had thought that since Spirit Attunement Realm experts had already humbled themselves to such an extent, they would at least be able to save their lives. Yet she had never expected An Bulang to act with such decisive ruthlessness. No temptation could shake his mind! What an unwavering Dao heart!

An Bulang swept his gaze across everyone beside the altar and said, "I, An Bulang, am a kind person. If others do not offend me, I will never offend them... But if someone wants to kill me, then they must be prepared to be killed in return!"

Everyone fell silent. The officials of the Crown Prince's faction were already drenched in cold sweat.

"Well killed!" King Ji Yonghao suddenly shouted.

Killing three elders of the Soaring Dragon Empire in one go was truly exhilarating.

"Brother Bulang, I love you!" Ji Yinyin loudly voiced her support as well.

An Bulang's mouth twitched slightly. He dearly wanted to use a silencing spell to shut the girl's mouth.

"Oh, of course, that's what I say, but the deaths of these three elders have nothing to do with me! All of you here must testify for me—they were all killed by Tiger Demon Ancestor!" An Bulang shouted again.

The Azure Kingdom officials and royal family members were speechless.

Even now, he still had not forgotten to dump the blame on Tiger Demon Ancestor. Was that really necessary? Aside from that unlucky number one expert of Azure Kingdom, who had indeed been killed by Tiger Demon Ancestor, what did the others have to do with Tiger Demon Ancestor?

Of course, though that was what they thought, they certainly would not say it aloud.

Some officials close to King Ji Yonghao, along with the neutral officials, saw that the tide had turned and promptly stepped forward, loudly agreeing.

Following An Bulang's lead, they condemned Tiger Demon Ancestor's crimes and furiously denounced Crown Prince Ji Wuye for entering into an evil agreement with Tiger Demon Ancestor, attempting to use Demonic Beasts to overthrow Azure Kingdom's rule. His crimes were countless, heinous beyond measure, and enraging to gods and men alike!!

It had to be said, these officials all had the potential to be screenwriters. In an instant, they concocted a plausible story, each turning into a master actor as they frantically dumped all the blame on Ji Wuye and the already-dead Tiger Demon Ancestor.

That was right—everything was Ji Wuye and Tiger Demon Ancestor's fault!

An Bulang smiled and slowly walked toward Qin Shiyue and Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye had long since been left dazed by the blow. Seeing An Bulang was like seeing a ghost or deity, and he kept backing away. "N-No... don't come over... Don't kill me!"

Qin Shiyue had also lost her former calm confidence. She knew An Bulang could kill her at any moment. He had slaughtered three elders as easily as butchering dogs; killing her, the Grand Princess of an empire, presumably would not weigh on his conscience at all...

Seeing An Bulang approach, Qin Shiyue consciously closed her eyes, ready to meet her fate.

She had her own pride and would never beg her enemy for mercy.

"Screech...!"

A golden rope shot out, binding Qin Shiyue's hands and waist.

"This..." Qin Shiyue opened her eyes, confusion on her face.

Instead of killing her, he had tied her up with a rope. What was he planning?

An Bulang spoke at that moment. "Grand Princess Qin Shiyue, I, An Bulang, am a good man. You have to testify to that for me! I risked my life to save you, and only after great difficulty did I defeat the Tiger Demon Ancestor. As for this protection fee, I'll have to have a proper talk with your father..."

Qin Shiyue: "..."

Hiss...

Everyone could not help drawing in a sharp breath, staring at An Bulang in shock.

That move... really made their scalps tingle!!

"Alright, I'll leave the rest to King Ji Yonghao. I'm tired, so I'll be heading back first."

The remaining men were crippled soldiers with no fighting strength left. An Bulang truly could not be bothered with them, so he waved a hand and prepared to leave.

Not a trace of color remained in Ji Wuye's handsome face. Watching An Bulang's retreating figure, his Adam's apple bobbed. He wanted to say something, yet not a single word came out. An unprecedented humiliation flooded his entire body.

At this moment, he did not even have the qualifications for An Bulang to deal with him personally.

Suddenly, An Bulang stopped in his tracks.

Ji Wuye's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the white-robed man in the distance, thoughts surged through his mind.

Could it be...

"Hey, that Wu-whatever-yue still kneeling on the ground—you can get up too. Come with me!" An Bulang said.

"Thank you, Senior!! My name is Wu Wanyue!"

Having received no judgment from An Bulang before, Wu Wanyue, the Incense Burning Sect Master, had not dared make the slightest movement and had knelt for half the day. Hearing this, she rose excitedly to her feet and respectfully followed behind An Bulang.

"Brother Bulang, wait for me." Ji Yinyin cried out and ran after him.

"Men! Seize Crown Prince Ji Wuye, who colluded with Demonic Beasts and attempted rebellion, along with all the officials involved!!" King Ji Yonghao regained control of the entire scene. In a commanding voice, he issued a royal decree, sending more than a hundred Imperial Guards into action to escort the Crown Prince and a large number of officials, including the Left Prime Minister, into prison.

King Ji Yonghao was not afraid of arresting the wrong people. He had recorded every official who had stepped forward back then in his little notebook.

And so, this rebellion that had seemed a sure thing was overturned by An Bulang's absolute strength. The Tiger Demon Ancestor had fallen, the Soaring Dragon Empire's experts had been wiped out, the Crown Prince's faction and the Crown Prince himself had all been thrown into prison, and the Other Shore Pavilion's assassins had vanished without a trace...

At last, the matter came to an end.

Of course, An Bulang was still out there living it up.
