"Patriarch Shouzhe, what did you mean by this?" Pill Saint Jiang Li Huo's expression turned extremely ugly.
"It meant nothing." Wang Shouzhe smiled. "I merely wanted to ask Senior Pill Saint to stay put and not make any rash moves. Otherwise, if I got nervous, I might have a stress response and defend myself. This Dao Lord strike might accidentally end up right in your face."
As he spoke, he looked toward Heavenly Auspice Holy Emperor and the other Sacred Venerables. "Sacred Venerable Shuiyue, Heavenly Auspice Holy Emperor, please bear witness for us. Sacred Venerable Jiuxiao was the one who struck first."
His attitude was exceedingly mild, and a smile still hung on his face, yet his words carried deadly danger.
"If necessary, I can testify to that." Heavenly Auspice Holy Emperor had also been frightened by the methods Wang Shouzhe had displayed.
Two dignified Sacred Venerables had come to throw their weight around, only for things to end up like this. It was truly beyond all expectations~~
Sacred Venerable Shuiyue nodded with great solemnity. "Should anyone inquire, I shall recount the truth faithfully. It was indeed Sacred Venerable Jiuxiao and Pill Saint Jiang Li Huo who relied on their strength to come here and exert pressure, intending to force other clans into signing unequal contracts. After being refused, they flew into a rage out of shame and took the initiative to attack."
Ancestor Dingsheng of the Si Clan hurriedly stated his position as well, saying that he too would speak according to the facts.
If they were asked to help the Wang Clan fight the Ji Clan and Jiang Clan, they certainly would not dare enter the fray. After all, none of them were lone wolves. Behind them stood countless children, descendants, disciples, and granddisciples who needed their protection.
