Murderous Intent Arose

Ye Tian had knocked out Huang Zhongguan's tooth earlier. He could clearly have crushed it then and exposed the poisonous mist inside, yet he had deliberately added that slap! Rather than slapping Huang Zhongguan, he might as well have slapped Fourth Elder's dignity along with him!

Such potent poison had been hidden inside Huang Zhongguan's tooth. There was definitely something suspicious about his identity, and Fourth Elder knew it perfectly well. But before everyone's eyes, how could he possibly admit it!

Whatever problem Huang Zhongguan had, he was still Fourth Elder's most beloved and trusted attendant disciple. Everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect knew this. If Huang Zhongguan had a problem, how could Fourth Elder avoid being implicated!

What was he supposed to do now?

Huang Zhongguan, who had been sent flying again, had a red, swollen cheek. Once he realized Ye Tian was clearly humiliating him on purpose rather than intending to strike, his gaze fell straight upon Fourth Elder!

As Fourth Elder's attendant disciple, Huang Zhongguan knew Fourth Elder's character extremely well. Once Ye Tian exposed the poisonous mist in that tooth, everyone would understand that there was something wrong with him. But the crucial question was whether Fourth Elder dared to admit publicly that there was something wrong with his own attendant disciple! With Fourth Elder's self-preserving temperament, even if he realized Huang Zhongguan had a problem, he would first save his life while protecting himself, leaving everything else for later.

At the end of the day, if Fourth Elder acknowledged Ye Tian's words now, tonight's events would surely become a laughingstock for him throughout the Heavenly Sword Sect. Meanwhile, Ye Tian's reputation would soar upwards by stepping on his own!

With that thought, Huang Zhongguan staggered over to Fourth Elder's side and dropped to his knees
