Their eyes were filled with shock and fear.
Their hearts were filled with worry and unease.
Jun Tiance, the king of the Ancient Trace Kingdom and a True King expert, had actually been struck hard enough by a single palm to cough up blood.
Just how powerful was Jiang Wuhen?
Seeing this, Jiang Wuhen frowned slightly.
"You could have taken that palm strike just now."
He had not used much power in that strike at all. It had merely been a casual blow.
With Jun Tiance's mid-stage True King cultivation, he could have blocked it completely.
Yet Jun Tiance had chosen to take that palm strike head-on with his body.
"My son was muddle-headed and offended your daughter. As his father, I failed to teach him well. I deserved that palm strike. I only hope True King Jiang will show Wentian leniency, considering that your daughter was not truly harmed."
Jun Tiance spoke in a weak voice, his tone sincere.
At those words, Jiang Wuhen's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze flickered.
Jun Tiance truly had some skill.
Once those words were spoken, if Jiang Wuhen still insisted on killing Jun Wentian, it would be somewhat unjustifiable.
Jun Tiance had already taken that palm strike in his son's place and borne his son's guilt.
If he still killed Jun Wentian, he would be refusing to let the matter rest despite being in the right, and using his power to bully others.
What would the outside world think of the Jiang Clan then?
Reputation was sometimes still useful.
The Jiang Clan was a prominent family in the Mystic Realm.
If its reputation was tarnished, it would affect both the Jiang Clan's standing and its business.
Jiang Wuhen considered it for a while, weighing the pros and cons, before finally speaking slowly.
