Chapter 2301: Chapter 2301: Have You Come Back Again?
"Scared?"
An Jiuyue laughed, and this time, it wasn’t that eerie, sinister laugh from before, but rather like a gentle spring breeze.
"Just a simple poison rain, and you’re scared? Compared to the Heavenly Fire that fell on Wulong Mountain all year round, what’s this? It’s just a few people who died from it."
She spoke with an air of nonchalance, but Xun Family Head was trembling uncontrollably.
"You, you..."
What does she mean, just a few people who died from it?
The water in that pool, he knows all too well, as soon as you touch it, it’s certain death.
And especially now, just earlier the High Priest Demon Heart and Lord Qian forced their way in, drawing the attention of everyone in the Xun family; everyone is outside right now.
This means at least half of the Xun family is tainted by the poisonous water from the pool, whether they die immediately or not, they’re doomed after all.
Is this not terrifying, is this still just ’a few people who died from it’?
The High Priest Demon Heart and Lord Qian are clearly out for the lives of everyone in the Xun family, planning to eradicate them completely?
"You cannot do this, even if... even if I did something wrong, the others in the Xun family did nothing, they know nothing about this!"
Even at this moment, he doesn’t believe he did anything wrong; admitting fault earlier was just a reflex to escape from the High Priest Demon Heart’s wrath.
Who doesn’t want to become stronger? Doesn’t the High Priest Demon Heart want that? Doesn’t Lord Qian want that? It’s just that they didn’t get it, and it happened to fall into his lap as the Xun Family Head.
He could conclude that the High Priest Demon Heart and Lord Qian are simply jealous, which is why they’re being so ruthless with the Xun family.
"So, is this question circling back again?" Mo Aotian rested his chin on his hand and asked.
"Xun Family Head, you think your family has done nothing wrong, but those noble clan young masters and ordinary citizens you harmed, what did they do wrong?"
Isn’t this a typical case of ’the governor is allowed to burn down houses, but the commoners can’t light lamps’?
Clearly, you committed horrendous acts, yet you think you’re faultless; if they harmed your family, they would be utterly unforgivable?
Truly laughable, how can you have such childish thoughts?
"I..."
"Enough, we don’t want to hear what you have to say."
Seeing the Xun Family Head still wanting to speak, Mo Aotian raised his hand to stop him.
At this moment, listening to his nonsense, there are more important matters to attend to. He looked up at the protective shield overhead, as the poisonous water dripped down, falling to the side.
When the poisonous water struck the protective shield, wisps of black smoke emerged, proving just how potent the poison was.
"High Priest, Lord, shall we go down now?" He looked at the two and asked.
"We’ll go down, you don’t need to go, just keep an eye on him." Qian Jiyun cast a glance at the Xun Family Head, instructing Mo Aotian.
With Mo Aotian’s reckless nature, if he entered the pool and accidentally touched the poisonous water, it would trouble An Jiuyue to save him, so it was better to leave him above to watch over the Xun Family Head.
"Yes."
Mo Aotian accepted the order.
In places filled with poison, only those capable should enter to remain safe.
Someone like him, an incompetent half-measure, shouldn’t go in and cause trouble for them; staying above to oversee things is better, who knows what the Xun Family Head might do if left alone?
