Immortal God of War-Chapter 709 - 675: Two Worthless Things_1

Seeing that the old man remained silent, the Yun State Master quickly lost her patience, bellowing, "Speak! Don’t think silence will end this matter!"

The old man lifted his head to look at her, then dropped his gaze and fell silent again.

To tell the truth, he was furious right now. He even wished he could summon Qin Feiyang immediately and give him several slaps. Wasn’t this just stirring up trouble for him? Couldn’t Qin Feiyang just keep a low profile for once?

"Old Man Ren, this is no small matter. You cannot continue to shield Qin Feiyang," one of the two white-haired elderly men said.

"Indeed. If you don’t handle this impartially today, we will report it to the emperor and let him decide," the other added.

These two were the Kun State Master and the Chang State Master. They had come to Spirit State, naturally, also to settle scores with Qin Feiyang. This was because the golden-haired youth and the green-haired youth had been forced by Qin Feiyang to jump into the Bitter Sea.

The old man’s eyebrows shot up. He rose abruptly and, looking at the Yun State Master, declared, "I will accompany you to Yun State to investigate this thoroughly. If Qin Feiyang has indeed slaughtered the innocent, I will certainly not shield him!"

"That’s what I was waiting to hear," the Yun State Master said with a cold smirk. She opened a portal, stepped aside, and gestured to the old man. "Please!"

The old man snorted and strode into the portal.

The Yun State Master then turned to the others, smiling. "Gentlemen, why not come to my Yun State for a visit as well?"

"We were thinking the same," the Kun State Master nodded with a smile.

Subsequently, the group of powerful figures stepped into the portal one after another.

「Yun State, above the Ho Family estate!」

Seeing the old man appear, Qin Feiyang and the others exchanged glances. Why had the old man come in person?

The old man swept his gaze over the ruins below and barked, "Qin Feiyang, get out here!"

"What do we do?" Fatty asked, a little flustered.

The Wolf King rolled his eyes at him. "We have the evidence. What’s there to be afraid of?"

Fatty’s eyes lit up. "Right, what am I afraid of?"

At the same time, the Yun State Master and the others appeared. Seeing the Ho Family estate already reduced to a field of rubble, their brows couldn’t help but furrow.

The Yun State Master scanned the surroundings and shouted, "Qin Feiyang, I know you’re still here! Stop hiding and get your sorry self out here!"

"Who said I was hiding?"

Before his words faded, Qin Feiyang’s voice, tinged with a faint smile, resounded.

Then, Qin Feiyang and his companions materialized out of thin air before the old man.

Lu Xingchen is here too? The old man frowned imperceptibly, then turned to Qin Feiyang and demanded angrily, "Tell me, what happened here?"

Qin Feiyang shrugged. "It wasn’t me. It was Fatty."

"Oh?" The old man shifted his gaze to Fatty.

Fatty declared, "I came for revenge."

"Revenge?" The old man frowned. Fatty had mentioned this to him before, so he knew the Situ Family had been framed. But there was no evidence! Who would believe it if he just said so?

Fatty looked at the Yun State Master and sneered, "Old witch, don’t you feel the slightest bit of guilt?"

"Who do you think you’re talking to? Have you eaten a leopard’s gall, or something?" The Yun State Master’s face darkened. Calling her an old witch in front of so many people—wasn’t he deliberately trying to humiliate her?

"What?" Fatty’s face was full of mockery. "You don’t like being called an old witch? Then how about Master Fatty calls you an idiot instead?"

"You’re courting death!" Enraged, the Yun State Master unleashed a terrifying pressure that surged towards Fatty.

But at that moment, the old man waved his aged hand, deflecting the Yun State Master’s oppressive force. He stated gravely, "No one is to make a move until this matter is clarified!"

The Yun State Master retorted angrily, "The facts are right before our eyes! What else is there to investigate?"

"Facts?" Fatty roared. "What right do you have to speak of facts? Back then, when the Xia Family, the Yuan Family, and the Ho Family conspired to frame my Situ Family, why didn’t I see you investigating to clarify the facts?"

"Hmm?" The Yun State Master raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"You don’t know, do you?" Fatty sneered. "To think you’re a State Master, yet you’re nothing but a muddled old woman. Let Master Fatty tell you: my Situ Family never harbored any intention of treason!"

"Utter nonsense!" the Yun State Master exclaimed.

Fatty challenged, "And if Master Fatty is not spouting nonsense, will you then go to the graves of my parents and my kinsmen to atone?"

Mo Jun’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he hurriedly said, "My La—"

"You shut your mouth for me!" the Yun State Master barked, cutting him off. Then, looking at Fatty, she said, "If the Situ Family was truly wronged, never mind atoning—even if I had to kowtow in apology, I would have nothing more to say."

Mo Jun sighed inwardly. He had wanted to tell the Yun State Master the truth, but alas, the enraged Yun State Master hadn’t given him a chance to speak. This was just great. She had brought this suffering upon herself.

Meanwhile, Fatty looked at the Yun State Master in surprise and asked, "Do you mean that? Will you keep your word?"

"Of course!" the Yun State Master snapped. "As a State Master, how could I go back on my word?"

Fatty smiled. Qin Feiyang and the others smiled too.

Immediately after, Qin Feiyang waved his hand, producing an Image Crystal Stone. The scene recorded within it slowly unfolded in the empty space before them.

"This..." The Yun State Master was instantly dumbfounded. How could this be possible?

The old man, however, was beaming. He discreetly gave Qin Feiyang and the others a thumbs-up. Moreover, he also sent them a mental transmission, assuring them that as long as they had evidence, they had nothing to fear.

The Feng State Master sighed. "To think the Situ Family was truly framed. What a pity!"

The old man glanced at the Feng State Master and nodded. "Indeed. The Situ Family was loyal and devoted, yet they all met tragic ends. Meanwhile, those despicable villains have lived on until today. Whose fault is this, truly?"

The several State Masters all looked at the Yun State Master. Her aged face alternated between ashen and flushed; she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. At the same time, she glared angrily at Mo Jun.

Can I be blamed for this? Weren’t you the one who wouldn’t let me speak? Mo Jun felt utterly helpless.

Fatty sneered, "Old witch, are you feeling guilty now? Was Master Fatty wrong to come seeking revenge?"

The Yun State Master remained silent. She had lost all face; what more could she say?

The old man said, "I believe this matter must be reported to the emperor. Let His Majesty see just how muddled the Enforcer of Yun State is."

The hearts of the other State Masters jolted. This matter wasn’t overwhelmingly large, yet it wasn’t small either. If it wasn’t escalated, the current emperor certainly wouldn’t intervene. But once reported, the consequences would be extremely severe. To say nothing else, the Yun State Master would, one hundred percent, be dismissed from her post and investigated, possibly even executed on the spot! In other words, this Old Man Ren was determined to eliminate the Yun State Master!

The Yun State Master was also frightened and glared at the old man with a mixture of shock and fury.

"Have I misspoken?" the old man said coolly. "Even the emperor, if he breaks the law, is judged the same as a commoner, let alone us State Masters."

The Yun State Master’s gaze turned icy. "Old Bastard, don’t push me too far!"

"Have I?" The old man chuckled coldly. "I am merely stating a fact."

"Old Man Ren, we are all old friends. Why must you be so ruthless?" one of the other State Masters interjected.

"Yes, where it’s possible to forgive, one should. I think we should just let this matter go!" another urged.

"If it really comes to it, just have her offer some compensation to the Situ Family," a third chimed in.

The other State Masters all tried to persuade him.

The old man frowned, turned to Fatty, and asked, "What do you think?"

Fatty shook his head. "I don’t want any compensation, nor do I want this old witch to kowtow and apologize at my kinsmen’s graves—she doesn’t deserve to. All I want is for her to issue a public proclamation to the world, clearing my Situ Family’s name."

"That’s very reasonable," the others nodded, looking towards the Yun State Master.

The Yun State Master kept her head down, her expression fluctuating. Making a public proclamation was simple; it only required her order. However, once it was proclaimed, everyone in Yun State would know of this muddled affair she had overseen. Who knew how many people would curse her behind her back then? In short, once this matter was made public, her authority would be completely undermined, and her reputation would be in tatters.

The old man said meaningfully, "Which is more important, your life or your reputation? You should think carefully!"

The Yun State Master’s eyes quivered. She gritted her teeth. "Fine. I will make the proclamation to the world later."

"Now!" Fatty stated, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Fine!" The Yun State Master shot Fatty a chilling glare and ordered, "Mo Jun, you and the others go handle this immediately!"

It was clear that the Yun State Master was now on the verge of exploding with rage.

"Yes," the Ten Great Commanders respectfully acknowledged and immediately turned to leave.

After the Ten Great Commanders had departed, the Kun State Master said, "Now that the Situ Family’s matter is resolved, let’s discuss the issue concerning the Netherworld."

"Senior," Qin Feiyang said, looking at the Kun State Master with a puzzled expression, "I am rather perplexed. In the Netherworld, everyone succeeded based on their own abilities. What else is there to discuss?"

"Correct!" the Kun State Master shouted. "It is indeed based on one’s own abilities! But my people from Kun State had clearly already reached the other shore. Why did you still force them to jump into the Bitter Sea?"

"And my people from Chang State as well," the Chang State Master added, his face grim.

Qin Feiyang thought for a moment, then asked, "The people you two seniors are referring to—are they that golden-haired fellow and that green-haired fellow?"

"What ’golden-haired fellow’? What ’green-haired fellow’? Don’t they have names? Do you have no upbringing at all?" the Kun State Master roared.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Feiyang’s eyes. He smiled. "My apologies. My father died young and never taught me what upbringing is. Besides, I truly don’t know their names, nor do I have any interest in knowing."

The two State Masters clenched their fists, their eyes dangerously dark.

"If you ask me," Qin Feiyang sneered, "you’re just upset because my Spirit State emerged victorious, and your hearts can’t accept it."

"That’s right," he continued. "Those two failures, along with Mo Wushen, were indeed dealt with by us. But do you know what they did to us?"

The various State Masters remained silent.

"You don’t know?" Qin Feiyang’s sneer widened. "Allow me to enlighten you. At that time, Mo Wushen and those two failures reached the other shore before we did. And guess what they did? They immediately moved to kill us. You must understand, we were still in the Bitter Sea then, and apart from myself, everyone else was still trapped by illusions. I ask you, seniors, were their actions not vicious? Were they not ruthless? If it weren’t for our brilliant methods, we would have long since perished in the Bitter Sea.

"That’s just how I am," Qin Feiyang declared, his voice taking on a sharp edge as his eyes glinted with a steely light. "If you don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke you. But whoever dares to provoke me, even if they were the Heavenly King himself, I will make sure they don’t have an easy time!"

As Qin Feiyang finished his last sentence, both his gaze and his tone became incredibly sharp, and an astonishing aura of dominance radiated from his entire being!
