Chapter 836 Situ Ao“s Boldness
There was indeed a problem, a huge problem!
Jiang Yi and Qian w.a.n.guan looked at each other and laughed bitterly. Qian w.a.n.guan’s eyes flickered as he was pondering what went wrong. Jiang Yi might not know how did Qian w.a.n.guan make the arrangements, but he absolutely trusted Qian w.a.n.guan’s capability. Hence, after all the consideration, Jiang Yi got a verdict… there was a brilliant individual plotting against them.
This individual clearly knew about Qian w.a.n.guan’s every movement and even knew everything he was doing in the East Imperial Continent. This President Liu should be that individual’s underling, and those thousands of spies were all sent by him. It was self-evident that they were trying to frame Jiang Yi and Qian w.a.n.guan.
“Could it be someone from the Nine Thearchs Clans?”
Qian w.a.n.guan’s mind flashed with a thought. Among the 13 Clans, only the Situ Clan was familiar with his operations; but it was impossible for the Situ Clan to be plotting against them. The Lei, Nangong, and Lu Clans didn’t have the capability to plot against them. After all, he was controlling everything, and it wasn’t easy for the three clans to plant any spies as he had been cautious about them.
“President Liu…”
When thinking about President Liu, Qian w.a.n.guan’s heart went cold. At this moment, he was 100% sure that someone from the Nine Thearchs Clans was plotting against him. Because everything was too easy and too smooth. Even the setting up of the open and hidden establishments in the East Imperial Continent was too smooth. There was obviously someone intentionally helping him.
“Incredible!”
Qian w.a.n.guan got a chill when thinking how the opposition could unknowingly monitor him and even plant thousands of spies into Sin Island right under his eyes. They were even able to guess that he was going to rescue Nangong Qiling’s mother and had informed the three clans in advance, allowing the current situation to take form. The wisdom and the methods of the mastermind were much superior to him, and when coupled with the resources of the Nine Thearchs Clans, it formed today’s deadlock.

Thousands of people flew over from G.o.ds Bestow City, and many of those people were carrying martial artists or corpses. Those captured people all had their dantians crippled, and when they saw President Liu, their eyes turned dim.
Five hundred, a thousand… two thousand!
Soon enough, 2000 individuals were brought over. The teleportation array in the city had lit up too as countless people were brought over. When Situ Ao and Situ Nu saw these people, their expressions turned extremely awful as it was impossible to find so many impersonators. If these were all spires that the Soaring Dragon Merchant a.s.sociation brought in, then Qian w.a.n.guan wouldn’t be able to refute even if he had a hundred mouths.
Colluding with the enemy meant the death sentence!
Lei Tingwei looked around and sneered imperiously and said, “Situ Ao, your clan has people who know the Soul Searching Secret Art, right? Go search the souls of these thousands of people. If they are not spies from the East Imperial Continent, I will bring them all back without saying a word. If they are spies and if you are still going to protect Jiang Yi and Qian w.a.n.guan, we will have no choice but to clash.”
Lu Li waved his hand and said, “You may also search the souls of Lu Ping and these two individuals. If Jiang Yi and Qian w.a.n.guan didn’t smuggle thunder stones, I, Lu Li will never enter G.o.ds Bestow Island in this lifetime!”
Nangong Yunyi looked at Situ Ao indifferently and said, “I have brought my clan’s three supervisors and those ten individuals we have seized. Situ Ao, you can also search their souls! This old one will state it clearly today. If the Situ Clan dares to continue protecting them, we will fight to the death!”
Situ Ao exchanged looks with Situ Nu. The latter still couldn’t believe it as he waved his hand and said, “Old Six, go take a look!”
Swis.h.!.+
One of the peak-stage Heaven Monarchs from the Situ Clan flew over like a black shadow and placed his hand on the head of a spy. There was a flash of white light as the elder closed his eyes, and when he opened up his eyes again, that spy rolled his eyes and collapsed as he perished instantly.
One, two… three!
The Situ Clan’s elder’s expression got worse and worse. Yang Dong and Niu Deng’s expressions also got more awful. This soul-searching would cause the death of the victim, and once it was their turn, they would similarly have to die.
“Big Sister Bell, Chief Jiang, we will meet again in our next life!”
Yang Dong and Niu Deng exchanged looks and crawled up and rushed at the Lu Clan’s expert ruthlessly. The two of their dantians were already crippled before they came here. If Lu Li didn’t use the lives of the slaves in Sky Thunder City to threaten them, they would already have committed suicide by then.
Chi! Chi!
Two artifact swords that were flas.h.i.+ng with chilling light had welcomed them. Their necks felt a chill, and heads rolled off immediately after. Their necks were violently spraying with blood as they died with grievances.
“Yang Dong, Niu Deng!”
“Yang Dong…”
Jiang Yi and Big Sister Bell, who had been rescued by the Situ Clan, yelled out at the same time. Jiang Yi’s eyes were red, and he was overflowing with killing aura. His Ma.s.sacre Intent was released without any control while his red hair fluttered in the sky, making him looked as though he was a demon that walked out of h.e.l.l.
“Enough, there is no need to search anymore!”
Situ Ao waved his hand and cast a look at Qian w.a.n.guan and Jiang Yi. “What explanation does the two of you have to offer?”
Jiang Yi was still looking at the eyes of Yang Dong and Niu Deng who had died with grievances, and it seemed as though he didn’t hear Situ Ao. Qian w.a.n.guan laughed bitterly and said, “I have nothing to explain. I just want to say… for everything I have done, I have not let down heaven and earth, G.o.ds Bestow Tribe, the Situ Clan, and Yinian! In addition, your three clans can stop the hypocrisy, acting as though you are devoted to righteousness. You and I all know clearly about these matters. Stop being a wh.o.r.e and still want someone to make a memorial arch for you.”Read more chapter on ReadNovelFull. com
“w.a.n.guan!”
Situ Yinian hugged Qian w.a.n.guan tightly; her charming face was already stained with tears. She hugged tightly onto Qian w.a.n.guan as though she was afraid he might vanish at any moment.
“Sigh…”
Situ Ao looked deep into Qian w.a.n.guan’s eyes and muttered with a lowered head for a moment. He then slowly raised his head and said, “I, Situ Ao, represent the Situ Clan to plea for all of you to spare Qian w.a.n.guan, Jiang Yi, and the others. If you agree, the Situ Clan will hand over all the businesses in G.o.ds Bestow City, and our Situ Clan will back out from G.o.ds Bestow City and will not enter G.o.ds Bestow Island for the next 1000 years! If Qian w.a.n.guan and the others still have another behavior which colludes with the enemy, I, Situ Ao will kill myself as punishment. How about it?”
“Wa!”
The whole crowd was flared up. Even Lei Tingwei, Nangong Yunyi, and the others were shocked. Lu Li’s eyes were flouris.h.i.+ng with brilliance instead while many of the Lu Clan’s experts were extremely excited. If the Situ Clan left, wouldn’t the Lu Clan have the opportunity to enter G.o.ds Bestow City?
Qian w.a.n.guan spoke with the truth!
In fact, they knew many things. Qian w.a.n.guan and Jiang Yi did smuggle thunder stones, but they didn’t collude with the enemy. All these spies came out of nowhere, and for them to seize these spies, it was all due to the initiative from President Liu. Actually, there were many suspicious matters, and with their wisdom and intelligence, they could easily guess that a major clan in the East Imperial Continent was plotting against Qian w.a.n.guan and Jiang Yi!
However—!
The three clans didn’t try to investigate the mastermind as they had decided to deal with Qian w.a.n.guan and Jiang Yi. Because of these two individuals, the Situ Clan was able to rise up very quickly. Let alone becoming the no.1 clan, when the Lei Clan’s old ancestor was dead, it would be even possible for the Situ Clan to unite the whole G.o.ds Bestow Tribe.
No one was willing to be a va.s.sal, and their clans’ interests were always paramount. Hence, Qian w.a.n.guan had to die; Jiang Yi had to die as well!
There was one additional thing that Lei Tingwei knew clearly. The reason why Lei Qiyan wanted to marry Nangong Qiling was also because of someone instigating. The past matters between Nangong Qiling and Jiang Yi were intentionally told to Lei Qiyan, and that small clan’s young master who told him had suddenly perished after Lei Qiyan and Nangong Qiling’s engagement.
Everything had clearly stated there was a powerful mastermind or a clan that was plotting from behind. So what? In fact, the three clans were prepared to extinguish the Situ Clan, but they didn’t expect for Situ Ao to not battle and make such an insane decision instead.
Situ Ao had always been someone with boldness. Today, he was even bold enough to exchange all the clan’s businesses and future for these two individuals!
“I do not agree!”
An aged and forceful voice echoed which gave everyone a shock. “All members of Situ Clan, obey my order. Situ Ao will be immediately dismissed from his position as Clan Head. Everyone will return to the clan, and the Situ Clan will not meddle in this matter today!”
“Grandfather?”
Situ Yinian’s delicate body trembled as she knelt down weakly with a face of despair.
