661: Zhou family removed from the list of the four major families
"I don't know what madness has gotten into you, but your words and actions today, I will definitely report to Father Emperor, so Father Emperor and your uncle Prince Bingjian can see your debauched appearance!"
The woman's words were firm, carrying seriousness.
If it were usual times.
If Yuwen Mingxuan heard this, he might still have some reservations and smooth things over with a forced smile.
But today.
After seeing the scene in the recording stone the Old man gave him and knowing the whole truth, Yuwen Mingxuan no longer had any fear, only a chest full of rage!
"Qing Qicai, I want to ask, where is that holy weapon shard that you should have lost to me?"
"Didn't I say, I need that thing for my Cultivation!" Seventh Princess's tone also grew heavier.
"Is that so? But why do I feel that you gave it to this guy you've been protecting?" Yuwen Mingxuan said, his gaze sweeping towards Zhou Wuji: "Seventh Princess has an engagement personally decreed by the Emperor, isn't it a bit inappropriate to still be sticking together with your little lover under these circumstances?"
"Yuwen Mingxuan, what nonsense are you spouting?! Fabricating baseless things about me, do you know the consequences?!" Seventh Princess no longer had her previous calmness and composure, her words were very angry.
And as Yuwen Mingxuan's words spread, the Snake Old beside Seventh Princess, who looked to be only in his twenties, also furrowed his brow: "Junior from the Prince Bingjian Gaopeng Family, I already warned you last time, you still want to force something without any evidence onto Seventh Princess this time, are you not putting me in your eyes?"
As Snake Old's words fell, the scene behind him seemed to suddenly darken.
Two crimson Snake pupils carrying intense pressure slowly appeared in the void, like two crescent moons!
And after this scene appeared, General Iron Rhino beside Yuwen Mingxuan let out a cold snort.
A heavy oppressive aura, like a great demon stomping the ground, swirled out, standing against Snake Old's pressure within this mansion!
With General Iron Rhino making a move, Yuwen Mingxuan had even less reservation.
He smiled with his arms crossed: "Snake Senior, for me to say such words and do these things today, I naturally have evidence."
After speaking, Yuwen Mingxuan didn't hesitate much and threw out the recording stone in his hand.
The stone arced through the air and was finally caught by Snake Old's outstretched hand.
"Take a look, I think Snake Old, as someone from an old Gaopeng Family, should be able to distinguish right from wrong."
Yuwen Mingxuan's voice came through the rain curtain.
Snake Old looked at the recording stone in his hand, slightly furrowed his brow, and opened it.
And then.
The scene in the recording stone, amidst the continuous sound of rain, clearly appeared before everyone's eyes!
And as this scene unfolded, Snake Old's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
Turning his head to look at Seventh Princess beside him, Snake Old said nothing, casting an inquiring gaze.
"Snake Old, have you finished watching? Do you understand why I acted this way today?" Yuwen Mingxuan tilted his head and asked.
"No, this is impossible!" Seventh Princess also saw these scenes, shaking her head with strong emotional fluctuations.
And Zhou Wuji beside her clenched his fists tightly.
What was that thing? It could actually clearly record the conversation between him and Seventh Princess!
With such irrefutable evidence here, he had no room left for defense!
"I just want what should belong to me, Snake Old shouldn't block me anymore, right?" Seeing the change in expression of the green-robed young Man in front, Yuwen Mingxuan spoke at the right time.
This Snake Old's strength was very high.
Even General Iron Rhino wasn't confident he could suppress him.
If a fight broke out because of Zhou Wuji, it wasn't what Yuwen Mingxuan wanted to see.
And because of this, he threw the recording stone to Snake Old, letting him see the reason clearly.
Hearing Yuwen Mingxuan's words, Snake Old threw the recording stone back to the other party: "I only protect the Princess, I will not interfere in the affairs of others."
All along, Snake Old had believed in this point.
If it weren't for Seventh Princess begging him to definitely protect Zhou Wuji before, he wouldn't have made a move.
Now that he discovered things were like this, Snake Old was even less likely to interfere.
After his words fell, Seventh Princess's pretty face instantly turned a bit pale.
"Since that's the case..." Yuwen Mingxuan looked at the Red Feather Envoy beside him and the hundred soldiers behind him: "Take down Zhou Wuji! The entire Zhou family is to be executed!"
The Man's command was issued with exceptional firmness.
This was also his usual way of doing things; if it weren't for Seventh Princess getting in the way, the Zhou family would already be lying dead all over the ground!
But it didn't matter, it just delayed things a bit.
It was a pity, this Qing Qicai woman, even though he wished he could tear her into ten thousand pieces, he still couldn't touch her.
"Snake Old! Snake Old, help Zhou Wuji, he's my friend!" Seventh Princess looked eagerly at the dark green robed Man beside her.
But upon hearing this, Snake Old merely shook his head faintly: "Seventh Princess, you have an engagement, showing such concern for an ordinary person is overstepping."
If there hadn't been irrefutable evidence before, Snake Old might have acted to obstruct because of Seventh Princess's words.
But after seeing the scene in the recording stone just now and clearly understanding the reason for the matter, Snake Old no longer had any reason or intention to save Zhou Wuji.
In Snake Old's eyes, all of this was Seventh Princess's own doing.
If she had just given the holy weapon shard to Yuwen Mingxuan, the matter would have been over.
Yet she created such a situation herself.
"Wait!" At this moment, Zhou Wuji finally stepped forward.
"The holy weapon shard is indeed with me." Zhou Wuji admitted, sighing inwardly.
He could feel that the holy weapon shard Seventh Princess gave him contained immense power!
It was just that his current body was relatively too weak and couldn't absorb it at all.
He originally planned to try taking this treasure after improving his physical strength in the following days, but he didn't expect that less than half a day after getting the item, he would have to give it away again.
However, he also understood that no matter what, he couldn't just give the item away directly now!
Once Yuwen Mingxuan got the holy weapon shard, he and the people of the Zhou family behind him would surely die without a burial place!
"I know it's with you, what? After the evidence is presented, you want to give the holy weapon shard to me now?" Yuwen Mingxuan chuckled with a cold snort.
Hearing these words, Zhou Wuji became much calmer instead: "Since the item is with me, then Yuwen Gongzi should also understand that only I know where the holy weapon shard is!"
"If Yuwen Gongzi kills everyone in my Zhou family, I would rather die than tell you the whereabouts of the holy weapon shard!"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent.
Only the sound of rain remained.
"Are you threatening me?! Trying to use this to buy a chance to survive?" Yuwen Mingxuan leaned against the carriage box, a cold light flickering in his eyes.
Zhou Wuji took a deep breath and directly stated his condition: "Let the Zhou family go, and I'll go with you."
"Good, good! You have guts!" Yuwen Mingxuan looked into Zhou Wuji's eyes and clapped his hands with a forced smile.
"Then I will temporarily not touch your parents, brothers, and other direct descendants of the Zhou family..." After speaking, Yuwen Mingxuan sat back in the carriage and waved his hand again: "Kill all the collateral branches and servants of the Zhou family."
This decision undoubtedly completely removed the entire Zhou family from the Four Great Gaopeng Families of Five Directions City!
