"Those who followed the traitor, aside from the ringleaders, will not be held accountable!"
Ye Zhen's voice, carrying a faint killing intent, spread throughout Qinglan Martial Capital. In an instant, the martial artists who had been trembling in fear after Ming Tang's defeat and flight breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet a few martial artists turned even paler.
For example, Deputy Cult Master Tian Guizhang, who had joined Yao Sen in paving the way for Ming Tang and inciting the coup, fled toward the outskirts of Qinglan Martial Capital like lightning the instant Ye Zhen's voice rang out.
Tian Guizhang knew very well that among those who had followed the traitor, he was absolutely one of the chief culprits.
However, just as Tian Guizhang turned to flee, an enormous tiger head appeared before him, frightening him so badly that he nearly fell from the sky.
When he saw the Cloud Winged Tiger King blocking his path, a look of utter desolation immediately appeared on Tian Guizhang's face.
With a swish, Ye Zhen, the Sky Eagle Wind Breaking Wings on his back slowly flapping, appeared before Tian Guizhang. "Vice Cult Master Tian, why go this far...?"
Tian Guizhang understood exactly what Ye Zhen meant. Ye Zhen was asking why he had betrayed the Cult Master and led others in forcing a coup.
After a long silence, Tian Guizhang finally sighed heavily. "Are kings and marquises born to their stations?"
"This old man merely wished to seize every opportunity for transformation in life!"
"Unfortunately, the victor becomes king and the loser a bandit! No, even if you had succeeded, you would only have been a slave in victory and a bandit in defeat!" Ye Zhen said.
Tian Guizhang's lips twitched twice. He said nothing more, his expression filled only with bleak despair.
