There was no need to ask, and no need for King Yongtai to say another word.
One look at his expression told everyone how things had turned out.
Just as Elder Shuixian had said, Ancestor Yanshi had used Tianshui City and the Myriad Phenomena Hall to threaten Qin Hao.
"He deserves to die!"
"A Half-Step Creation expert, resorting to something so utterly shameless and despicable!"
Many of the Venerables looked grim.
They were High-Rank Venerables themselves, to be sure.
But there was still a gap between them and a Half-Step Creation expert like Ancestor Yanshi.
If Ancestor Yanshi used the same tactic against them, what would they do?
Naturally, they were furious.
"A Half-Step Creation expert who thinks nothing of the Human Race and schemes only for the younger members of his own clan might as well have betrayed humanity."
King Zhenyan spoke in a low voice.
He had kept silent until now, but the moment he spoke, he effectively placed the blame squarely on Ancestor Yanshi's head.
"You used such a vicious scheme to deceive the Azure Flame Sect. Did you truly think I, the Inspector, did not exist?"
King Zhenyan's expression turned cold. "Marquis Yanshan, Marquis Chiling, sorry for the trouble, but I must ask you both to go. Bring the Shi Family Patriarch, Shi Youbing, and Ancestor Yanshi here. I will judge Ancestor Yanshi personally."
"Yes!"
"As you command!"
Marquis Yanshan and Marquis Chiling straightened, their expressions solemn.
King Zhenyan had spoken in his capacity as Inspector. Every Creation expert and Venerable had to obey.
Marquis Yanshan and Marquis Chiling were both native Marquis-Rank Creation experts of the True Martial Continent, making them the most suitable people for the task. As for King Yongtai... dealing with a mere Half-Step Creation expert hardly called for his intervention.
