Far away in the Jia Kingdom, hundreds upon thousands of tables were overturned and chairs smashed in the Lei Family's estates.
Inside the Lei Family's council hall, voices rose in heated discussion.
"How hateful! If only we'd deployed the Thunder Ancestor's Relic to help the Flood Dragon Sage Palace!"
"Who knew the Flood Dragon Sage Palace would be so useless? They spent every day boasting about how mighty they were, only to lose this quickly. How were we supposed to intervene?"
"What a pity. The Western Sea Dragon Sage is injured and cultivating in seclusion. If he were still here, with the Thunder Ancestor's Treasure as well, Fang Yun wouldn't dare make a reckless move even if he had ten thousand men's courage."
"Then again, Fang Yun is smashing an already cracked pot. Once the Flood Dragon Sage returns to the Saint Origin Continent, he'll certainly wipe out Fang Yun's entire clan. Not even the Sacred Academy can stop him! After all, Fang Yun exterminated the Flood Dragon Sage Palace's lineage. Even if Fang Yun achieves Saint Enfeoffment, as long as the Flood Dragon Sage calls it an internal dispute of the Dragon Race, the Sacred Academy will probably find it difficult to intervene. After all, it wasn't the Flood Dragon Sage who started the slaughter, but Fang Yun. Under the alliance pact between the two races, none of their other Half-Sages should interfere."
"Heh, Fang Yun probably gained some benefits in the Ten Cold Ancient Land, then got help from Mountain Bearer, and let it all go to his head. Still, I think this is a good thing. If he'd remained cautious at every step, he wouldn't have dared touch the Flood Dragon Sage Palace even with Mountain Bearer as an acquaintance. That would have been cause for vigilance."
