This is deliberately aimed at assassinating Tianxing Zhenren, striking against their lineage, inflicting lethal blows on them.
“Everyone, Tianxing Zhenren only spoke a few words for that Qin Chen, it was just to protect the disciples of Tian Gong. Moreover, the reason the butcher god was killed was that he first attacked the disciple of Tian Gong and was slain by him. With Tianxing Zhenren's cultivation, he could not stop it. How could all the blame be placed on Tianxing Zhenren?”
“That's right, this matter is actually a feud between the disciple of Tian Gong, Qin Chen, and the butcher god. My Wangu Building was just coincidentally pulled into it. If we severely punish Tianxing Zhenren for this, isn't that excessive?”
“Furthermore, luckily it was the butcher god that got killed. If that Qin Chen from Tian Gong had been slain in our Wangu Building, we wouldn't know how to explain it to Tian Gong. Tianxing Zhenren is not only blameless, but he even has merit.”
The elders of Tianxing Zhenren's lineage also spoke up; they naturally could not allow the other party to slander them.
“Merit? Hmph, if the disciple of Tian Gong had nothing to do with Tianxing Zhenren, that would be fine. But the problem now is that the disciple of Tian Gong is closely related to Tianxing Zhenren and has had multiple transactions with him. Now the butcher god's clan believes that our Wangu Building has deliberately colluded with others to frame the butcher god and plunder his treasures. Do you know what a terrible impact this has had on our Wangu Building?”
“Moreover, I heard that the butcher god was the one who initiated the transaction. Qin Chen arrived later, yet he wanted to exchange early, which angered the other party. In my opinion, even if he had truly been killed by the butcher god within our Wangu Building, we wouldn't need to explain anything. He brought about his own demise, relying on his identity to act without restraint. What more do we need to explain? Does a small disciple of Tian Gong expect our Wangu Building to bow down?”
“In my view, this incident is actually Qin Chen and Tianxing Zhenren acting recklessly, killing and plundering. We can't manage Qin Chen for now, but as the main culprit, Tianxing Zhenren must be publicly executed to set an example. Otherwise, everyone will follow suit, and what will our Wangu Building become?”
“If you ask me, we should even send a letter to Tian Gong, questioning why Qin Chen killed people in our Wangu Building, bringing trouble.”
The masters from another faction all sneered, directly branding Tianxing Zhenren, wanting him to die a miserable death.
“Since everyone is unable to reach a consensus, let's vote!”
The leading elder said lightly, “Those in favor of executing Tianxing Zhenren to set an example and sending a letter to Tian Gong to question Qin Chen, raise your hands!”
Immediately, hands shot up, causing the expressions of Tianxing Zhenren's faction to change drastically. The other party had already schemed everything and had pulled in quite a few people, determined to bring down Tianxing Zhenren and greatly embarrass their lineage.
“Hmm, the number of hands raised exceeds fifty percent. It seems that the blooded individuals of our Wangu Building still hold the majority. Since that's the case... then it's settled. One hour later, in the headquarters square, we will publicly behead Tianxing Zhenren to set an example. As for that Qin Chen, we will directly send a letter to Tian Gong, demanding that they severely punish their disciple.”
The elder said coldly.
Instantly, Tianxing Zhenren, who was suppressed, turned pale; under the anger, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He never expected that he would meet such an end.
I didn't expect my life to end here?
Tianxing Zhenren let out a bitter laugh, despair swirling in his eyes. Qin Chen was fine; he was within Tian Gong. Even if Wangu Building sent a letter, Tian Gong would not punish its own disciple because of outsiders. Yet he, in just one hour, was to be executed. The decision made by the elder council could not be overturned even by their lineage.
