Turning the Crisis Around

"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir. 69§hµx.¢ðm"

"Thanks!"

Suddenly, the more than three thousand innocent villagers knelt down and kowtowed to him to thank him for saving them.

Qian Ye then glanced at them and said, "Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. I was just passing by and didn't want to get involved. You all saw it, but they indiscriminately killed innocent people. They didn't ask any questions, just because someone set fire to the Stone Clan's ancestral land. They knew you were innocent, but they wanted you to be buried with them. Just because they are kings and nobles is their reason for killing."

"I myself have been arrested and beheaded three times without cause, so rest assured, everyone. I'm determined to handle this matter, and I will see it through to the end. As long as I'm here, you will all be safe and sound."

"Thank you, benefactor."

Everyone said in unison.

Qian Ye: "It's all taken care of. You don't need to worry. Just live your normal lives as usual."

"Thanks."

Everyone was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the three great kings died here, and once Qian Ye leaves, the Stone Emperor will definitely send people to kill them again.

Now that Qian Ye has given them this guarantee, they no longer need to flee, and it would be very difficult for them to escape anyway.

Unless you go into the forest and hide in a secluded corner.

But the deep forest is teeming with strange beasts, and for ordinary people like them, going in would mean certain death anyway. So, it's naturally best to stay where they are and live as before. 💥🎯 👣🍓

Qian Ye didn't say much, and after mentioning the Battle King, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Respectfully seeing off our benefactor.

The group bowed deeply again in the direction where Qian Ye had left.

Yu Meng was pacing back and forth in the living room for ten minutes straight, unable to stop.

He already knew that the Stone Clan's ancestral land had been burned down, and that the Stone Emperor had sent down three great marquises to hold them accountable.

Although he didn't do this himself, it was caused by him and he was somewhat involved, so his chances of survival are slim. Even if he isn't killed, he will die a very humiliating death.

Even if he is a member of the Rain Clan, the second largest family in the Stone Kingdom, the Rain Clan cannot protect him.

Compared to the Stone Clan, the Rain Clan is still too delicate.

"My lord, something terrible has happened... something terrible has occurred!"

Suddenly, a person ran in from outside, shouting.

Yu Meng turned around and saw that it was her steward. He was in a bad mood because he was facing a life-or-death crisis. He couldn't stand being offended by the steward like that.

Without even asking him what happened, he kicked him away.

"You bastard, are you looking for death in a sudden move?" Simon roared at the steward.🎀♠  👌♨

Ah~

The steward, feeling wronged and on the verge of tears, struggled to his feet and stood at a distance, saying, "Sir, perhaps this is an opportunity, a chance for both of us to escape this calamity."

"What do you mean?" Xi Meng stared at him, his eyes bloodshot. "The Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land was burned down. The Stone Emperor is enraged and has sent down three great marquises. Haven't you heard that when marquises arrive, corpses pile up for miles?"

"They'll probably find us soon. We didn't start the fire, but we're connected to it. Even the Rain Clan can't save us this time. What chance do we have? Escape? Don't even think about it. Even if we escape to the ends of the earth, we'll be hunted down by kings and nobles. You still have the nerve to joke with me? Are you a pig-brain?"

"No!" The steward was extremely frustrated, as he and the man were talking about completely different things. "Sir, please let me finish what I have to say. Even if you kill me after I finish, I, Feng Er, will accept it, okay?"

"Speak?" Xi Meng said irritably. His life was in danger; what good could come of it?

The steward then said, "Sir, you may not know this yet, but just now, the three great kings led tens of thousands of soldiers to investigate the Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land. They also captured more than three thousand men, women, and children from the surrounding villages within a ten-mile radius to be buried with them, intending to kill them all here."

"However, sir, those three thousand-plus people were not only spared, but are still alive and well."

"Ah..." Xi Meng was taken aback upon hearing this. He had never heard of such a thing before.

Why would the three princes be so kind as to suddenly spare these innocent people? "Could something have happened that suddenly made the three princes change their minds?"

The steward said mysteriously, "Yes, that's true. But it wasn't the three great princes who released them; someone else rescued them."

"What???" Xi Meng couldn't believe it; there was no one who could save someone from the clutches of the three great kings.

Moreover, it saved more than three thousand men, women, and children.

Furthermore, one of the three great kings was someone rescued by the Battle King, who was second only to the king in the Stone Kingdom: "Feng Er, did I mishear, or are you talking nonsense because you've lost your mind?"

"These are three powerful princes; who has the influence or ability to save someone from their clutches?"

The steward laughed, "Not only did he rescue the people, but he also beheaded two of the three great kings with a single stroke, killing them right here in the ancestral land. Furthermore, those ten thousand soldiers were also slaughtered. Now, the area around the Stone Clan's ancestral land is littered with corpses; it's a terrible sight."

"Furthermore, I specifically inquired with the villagers. Although the Battle King wasn't killed in one strike by that man named Qian Ye, his limbs were severed, and he was taken away in the end."

"This..." Xi Meng was utterly shocked upon hearing this, his eyes already gleaming. He thought to himself, with the three great kings and marquises as scapegoats, even if he couldn't escape the connection and was sentenced and executed by the Stone Emperor, he would die without regret.

A smile involuntarily spread across his face.

"Moreover, that person also said that he wouldn't abandon the more than three thousand lives he saved afterward, and that they could go home in peace. He has now taken the dismembered corpse of the Battle King to the central city of Xiqiang to settle the matter and warn them not to harm these innocent villagers."

"And I also heard him tell the Battle King that he planned to go to the palace to find the Stone Emperor and demand repayment for the three times he had been beheaded."

"How could this be... He's too powerful." The more Xi Meng listened, the more incredulous he became.

This is truly unheard of.

He then looked at the manager. "Great! Excellent! If it weren't for this incident, we, the entire Rain Clan, and our long-established power would be finished. But with this person causing trouble, it's the Stone Clan that's doomed. This may be the key to our escape from this situation."

The steward nodded happily, "Yes, sir. As long as that person stops the fire, our matter will be over. Now let's see how capable that person is."

Xi Meng smiled and said, "A person who can kill three kings and a Battle King at once is certainly no ordinary person."

"However, on the other hand, his going to the palace is not a good thing. That Stone Emperor is at the Venerable Realm, and he is protected by Imperial Dao Dragon Qi and a defensive barrier. The entire capital is also the Stone Emperor's domain, which is disadvantageous to this person."

"Once this expert named Qian Ye is killed by the Stone Emperor, the Stone Emperor will definitely send other kings and nobles here even more aggressively. At that time, we will still be unable to escape death."
