The hall fell into deathly silence.
The color on Wan Chongshan's face quickly faded as Zhou Jin spoke.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his throat was too dry to make any sound.
Buy murder Azure Profound Sect Tianjiao True Disciple?!
When he apologized years ago, he repeatedly warned Wan Yuntian not to provoke Fang Han or Azure Profound Sect again.
He thought Wan Yuntian had listened.
He thought the matter had really been revealed.
But don't want to...
Wan Chongshan I felt a chill running straight from the soles of my feet to the sky, making my whole body feel like I had fallen into an ice cave.
He stood up suddenly, bowed his head deeply to the ground towards Zhou Jin, his voice trembled:
"Elder, Wan... Wan really doesn't know about this! That evil obstacle... that evil obstacle dares to..."
He couldn't speak any more.
Zhou Jin looked at him quietly without speaking.
Wan Chongshan stood up straight, his face was pale, and fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent emotions, and said with difficulty:
"Don't worry Zhou Elder, Wan will definitely give Azure Profound Sect an explanation for this matter! That evil obstacle... that evil obstacle Wan will definitely deal with it severely!"
Zhou Jin nodded slightly, finally picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Lord Wan, what the sect master means is that this matter involves the life of my Azure Profound Sect Tianjiao True Disciple. It is absolutely extraordinary."
"Your Majesty has provoked you twice and three times, and his methods have become more ruthless each time. If you don't give a sufficient explanation..."
He paused and his eyes fell on Wan Chongshan's face.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to appease the sect master's anger, and it will also be difficult to convince everyone in our sect."
Wan Chongshan nodded repeatedly, his voice hoarse. "What Zhou Elder said is absolutely true, Wan understands, Wan understands!"
He straightened up and shouted toward the door:
"Come here! Go and call me Wan Yuntian! Immediately!"
A steward standing outside the door heard the angry shout, his heart trembled, and he responded quickly.
"Yes, sir!"
Turn around and leave quickly.
Wan Chongshan sat down again, picked up the tea cup and wanted to take a sip of tea to calm down, but found that his hands were shaking slightly.
He simply put down the tea cup, put his hands on his knees, and his face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face.
Zhou Jin still looked calm, but his eyes occasionally passed over Wan Chongshan's uncertain face, thoughtfully.
The waiting time seemed extremely long.
After about a moment of burning incense, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Wan Yuntian stepped on the threshold of Beginner stage, with a bit of doubt and uneasiness on his face.
As soon as he came back from outside, he was hurriedly called by the housekeeper. He only said that his father had something important to see him, but he didn't know what it was.
When he stepped into the hall and saw the figure sitting in the guest seat, his steps suddenly stopped.
The visitor is wearing Azure Profound Sect Elder clothes. He is Azure Profound Sect Elder.
Thinking that some time ago he bribed Duan Wuya to attack and kill Fang Han, and now Azure Profound Sect Elder came to visit, the ominous premonition in his heart reached its peak in an instant.
He suppressed the panic that surged in his heart and barely maintained his composure on his face. He took a few steps forward and bowed in salute:
"Father."
Wan Chongshan stared at this son, his eyes as cold as looking at a stranger.
"Yuntian, if my father asks you, you must answer truthfully."
"Yes, please ask me, father."
Wan Yuntian's heart skipped a beat and he lowered his head.
"You bribed Nether Pavilion True Disciple Duan Wuya to attack and kill Azure Profound Sect True Disciple Fang Han--is this possible?"
Wan Chongshan's voice was not loud, but every word hit Wan Yuntian's heart like a hammer.
Wan Yuntian's body froze slightly, then he raised his head, with just the right amount of shock and confusion on his face.
"Father, what are you talking about? My child... when has my child ever done such a thing?"
His voice was filled with disbelief, his eyes turned to Zhou Jin, and he cupped his hands.
"This Azure Profound Sect's Elder, is there any misunderstanding in this? The junior and Fang True Disciple had an apology years ago. The matter has been exposed. How could the junior... how could he do such a stupid thing again?"
Zhou Jin looked at him quietly, his eyes calm and calm, but it made Wan Yuntian feel more uneasy.
"Misunderstanding?"
Wan Chongshan spoke slowly, with a low voice.
"Then Duan Wuya personally admitted that you asked him to take action."
Wan Yuntian's heart was beating wildly, but his face still maintained the look of being wronged.
"Father, who is Duan Wuya? Nether Pavilion True Disciple, Prodigy Ranking is a famous murderer who takes pleasure in killing people!"
"How can we trust what he said? Maybe... maybe someone pretended to be a child and deliberately sow discord!"
He turned to Zhou Jin with a sincere tone:
"This Elder, I swear to God, I have never done this!"
Wan Chongshan Hearing this, his brows moved slightly. Could it be that Yuntian was really wronged? This matter was not caused by Yuntian.
Zhou Jin spoke at this moment, his voice flat:
"Master Wan, what your son said does have some truth to it. It's empty talk. It's really difficult to determine the authenticity based on Duan Wuya's one-sided words."
Wan Yuntian felt a little relieved after hearing this. He was about to say something else, but heard Zhou Jin continue:
"However, that Duan Wuya once said that your son will be rewarded with five hundred years of Blood Jade Coral."
"This thing is a treasure of heaven and earth. It is extremely rare. It is impossible to imagine that there are many of them. If the Blood Jade Coral in your hands is still there, it means that Duan Wuya is lying; if it is no longer there..."
He didn't say any more, but the meaning was already clear.
Wan Chongshan's eyes flashed and he nodded slowly:
"What Zhou Elder said is absolutely true. You can tell whether this thing exists or not by just checking it."
He turned to Wan Yuntian, his eyes like knives:
"Yuntian, is your 500-year-old Blood Jade Coral still there?"
The blood on Wan Yuntian's face faded completely at this moment.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his throat was too dry to make any sound.
An unconcealable fear finally appeared in those narrow phoenix eyes.
Wan Chongshan Seeing his son's reaction, the last bit of luck in his heart was completely shattered.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice toward the door:
"Liu Cai, go to Yuntian Courtyard and search carefully to see if the 500-year-old Blood Jade Coral is still there!"
The steward outside the door Liu Cai responded and left in a hurry.
The hall fell into deathly silence again.
Wan Yuntian stood there, his legs trembling slightly.
He wanted to defend himself and say that Blood Jade Coral was still there, but he knew that once searched, everything would be exposed.
He raised his head and met his father's eyes that were so cold that there was no warmth at all. That gaze made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Time seems to be stretched infinitely.
Every breath is like torture.
Finally, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Wan Fu walked in quickly, bowed and reported, his voice trembling slightly:
"Master, the 500-year-old Blood Jade Coral plant in the young master's courtyard is missing."
After the words fell, the air in the hall seemed to freeze.
Wan Yuntian His legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thump. His face was as pale as paper, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say any words of defense.
Wan Chongshan stood up slowly.
He walked up to Wan Yuntian and looked down at his son kneeling on the ground. The face that once made him proud seemed strange to him now.
"Yuntian."
His voice was low and there was no hint of emotion or anger.
"What did I tell you when I became a father? I told you not to provoke Fang True Disciple again. You agreed in person and then turned around and committed murder."
Wan Yuntian raised his head, his eyes full of fear and pleading. "Father, my child... my child is just confused for a moment..."
"Confused for a moment?"
Wan Chongshan interrupted him, his voice suddenly turned sharp.
"Spreading rumors is just a moment of confusion. Paying for a murder is also a moment of confusion? Do you think that as a father, you are a three-year-old child who is allowed to be fooled by you?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right leg and kicked Wan Yuntian's legs.
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of bone cracking was particularly harsh in the silent hall.
"Ah--!"
Wan Yuntian let out a shrill scream and huddled on the ground, covering his legs with his hands. The blood on his face faded, and his clothes were instantly soaked in cold sweat.
The legs were twisted at a weird angle, and they had obviously been violently kicked off.
Zhou Jin was sitting on the chair, looking at this scene calmly, without any wavering in his eyes.
Whether it was a show for him or whether it was really cruel, we need to know later.
With his previous record of secretly paying for the murder after apologizing last time, he was already suspicious of Myriad Treasures Tower.
Wan Chongshan retracted his legs, stood with his hands behind his back, looked down at his son groaning in pain on the ground, and said in a cold voice:
"From today on, you will be deprived of your identity as the owner of the building, Myriad Treasures Tower, and will be relieved of all duties in the building. All matters at hand will be handed over to others immediately."
Wan Yuntian endured the severe pain from his legs and raised his head, his face full of disbelief and fear.
"Father... Father! The child has realized his mistake! The child has really realized his mistake! Please... please give the child another chance!"
He has many brothers and sisters, and he is not the only one. Losing his identity as the young poster means that he will fall into dust from the clouds.
Those who once flattered him and flattered him will change their faces in an instant.
The status, connections, and power he has worked so hard for for many years in Myriad Treasures Tower will be wiped out.
He won't give in! He won't give in no matter what!
However, Wan Chongshan just looked at him coldly, without any mercy in his eyes.
"Opportunity? The apology I gave you years ago was the opportunity given to you. How did you use it? Buy murder to kill."
He waved his hand and said to Liu Cai outside the door:
"Carry it down. From now on, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard without my permission."
Liu Cai bowed in response, quickly called two Servant to come in, and carried out the wailing Wan Yuntian.
Silence returned to the hall.
Wan Chongshan turned around and looked at Zhou Jin.
Anger and exhaustion were intertwined on that face. He took a deep breath, walked up to Zhou Jin, and bowed his head deeply to the ground.
"Elder, Wan failed to teach his son well, which led to a big mistake. That evildoer did such evil things. Wan is ashamed and ashamed."
He straightened up and said in a sincere voice:
"Wan is willing to pay 50 million taels of silver as compensation to your lord, True Disciple Fang Han, to express his apology, and beg Fang True Disciple to forgive Wan for his mistake in teaching his son."
Zhou Jin Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Fifty million taels.
This number is not a small amount. Wan Chongshan really spent a lot of money this time.
He pondered for a moment and nodded slightly:
"Lord Wan is sincere, Zhou will tell the sect leader and Fang True Disciple."
Wan Chongshan hurriedly asked someone to prepare money. Soon after, a steward arrived with sweat on his forehead and a huge wooden box containing 50 million taels of silver notes.
Reaching out to take it, Wan Chongshan held it in both hands and handed it to Zhou Jin.
"Zhou Elder, this is the compensation of 50 million taels in silver notes."
