Chapter 620: Forced
"What? This is Fan Min?!"
Shocked voices rang out one after another, and everyone looked at the man on the stretcher in disbelief, but still could not see any trace of Fan Min on him.
Until Fanyou stopped beside the stretcher, rummaged through the man's tattered clothes, and finally took out an identity token.
Fan You handed the token to the new and old elders and nodded with a heavy face: "It is indeed the third elder."
Everyone was stunned, but the next moment, they erupted in rage, shouting, "Who is so bold! How dare they act so cruelly and brutally in our Brahma territory! They abused our three elders to such an extent! This is simply outrageous!"
"This matter must not be left to an amicable end! We must find that thug as soon as possible, skin him alive, and whip him! Use the Gu Lei whip! Avenge the three elders! And let others know that our Brahma clan is not to be bullied by anyone!!"
The person who spoke was Fan Rui, the elder of the Fanwu tribe, and one of Fan You's loyal subordinates.
He spoke in a resounding voice, and when he was about to ask everyone whether what he said was right or not, the bronze mirror in Xie Xihe's hand suddenly flew out of his hand, and in the blink of an eye it was hanging above Fan Rui's head.
The next moment, ancient thunder rolled down, blocking the remaining words of Fan Rui in his mouth.
Fan Rui: “???”
Everyone: “…”
When the thunder died down, everyone no longer knew what expression to make and all looked at Xie Xihe with numbness on their faces.
Xie Xihe remained calm as she casually grabbed the bronze mirror that had flown back to her after finishing its work. She said calmly, "It has nothing to do with me. He was the one who said he wanted to skin me alive and whip me with the Gu Lei whip. The bronze mirror was just following the rules."
Everyone once again: "..."
Each of the more than thirty saints of the Brahma clan was controlled by this bronze mirror. They severed their worldly ties early on and devoted themselves to being saints, devoting everything to the prosperity of the Brahma clan.
They had long been accustomed to the Saint's efforts and took them for granted, but they had never imagined that the bronze mirror that the Brahma tribe once used to restrain the Saint would one day become the most powerful weapon in the Saint's hands, forcing them to not even dare to fart!
Is this reasonable?
This is totally unreasonable!
More than thirty saints have never done such a thing, so why did it become like this when it happened to Xie Xihe!
Everyone exchanged glances with tears streaming down their faces.
Can they just give up this saint?
That definitely won't work.
Xie Xihe decided to fully teach them the truth about the difficulty of sending a deity away, and said calmly, "Seeing Fan Min reminded me of this."
"Excuse me, everyone. If those who disrespect the Saint should be punished by Gu Lei, then what is the punishment for those who hurt the Saint or do something inappropriate to her?"
Fan You's eyes fell on Fan Min, who was lying half-dead on the stretcher. His heart skipped a beat and he almost immediately understood the purpose of Xie Xihe's question. His mind started to race.
Now that Xie Xihe has returned with great force and has subdued Fan Jing, the methods they used to restrain the Saint are completely ineffective. In other words, Xie Xihe can now run rampant in the Fan clan and do whatever she wants, and they have no way to deal with her!
In other words, with Xie Xihe around, the prestige, subordinates, and power that he had painstakingly accumulated over the years would vanish in an instant, and he would no longer have the capital to compete with Fan Yao!
no!
He absolutely cannot let this happen!
That's the only way...
A ruthless look flashed across Fan You's eyes, and he immediately made up his mind.
But that is a matter for the future. Before that, he must do his best to preserve his people and power, otherwise even if he succeeds in the future, he will just be a commander without troops.
Fan You's mind raced as he took a step forward. He bowed to Xie Xihe with great respect and said, "Your Majesty, please understand. The Saint is the foundation of our Brahma Clan and the source of our strength. No one in the Brahma Clan would dare to harm her, let alone harbor any inappropriate thoughts."
He glanced at Fan Min and continued respectfully, "If I'm not mistaken, the one who accidentally entered the forbidden area today is Your Majesty the Saint, right?"
Xie Xihe admitted bluntly: "It's me."
Fanyou: "That's right."
"The Third Elder was ordered to search for the intruder and happened to run into you. Unaware that you were the new Saint of the Brahma Clan, he naturally prioritized protecting the Brahma Clan and wanted only to expel the intruder. This is also his duty. Do you think what I said is correct?"
Xie Xihe curled his lips and smiled: "So?"
Fan You smiled gently: "As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. If you don't know, then it can't be considered disrespectful to the Saint. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to punish you further?"
He emphasized, "After all, the three elders have been injured to such an extent. Even if it is a punishment, this is enough."
"Further punishment might cause panic among the tribe members."
"The Saint has just returned to the Brahma tribe. She should win over the people with her virtue. She must not leave the impression of being cruel and tyrannical among the people!"
Fan You gritted his teeth, bent his knees, and knelt down heavily, as if ready to die. He said loudly, "Saint, please be kind and gracious. I beg you to forgive the elder of the Min clan this time!"
The others looked at each other, hesitated, and then knelt down, repeating Fanyou's words loudly.
"The Saint is kind and virtuous. Please forgive the elder of the Min clan this time!"
"The Saint is kind and virtuous. Please forgive the elder of the Min clan this time!"
"The Saint is kind and virtuous. Please forgive the elder of the Min clan this time!"
The voice carrying the ancient martial power rang out again and again, echoing throughout the entire Holy Maiden Peak, and also reaching the ears of countless tribesmen who had just arrived at the foot of the mountain, waiting to pay homage to their Holy Maiden.
The tribesmen looked at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
Xie Xihe looked at the people kneeling on the ground in front of him, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He glanced at them and smiled nonchalantly, saying, "What if I don't want to?"
Fan You then straightened his face and said in a resounding voice, "It's true that the Fan Clan reveres the Saint, but that doesn't mean the Saint has the final say. The clan rules stipulate that if more than 80% of the clan members agree, even the Saint must obey!"
What's more, if more than 90% of the tribe members agree, the tribe can secretly deprive the Saint's bloodline and choose someone else to succeed her!
And if it comes to that, the original saint and even her lineage will have no way out.
Thinking of that situation, Fan You's heart was burning with anger. He tried his best to keep his voice steady and said, "If you insist on punishing the three elders, then I will have no choice but to call a general meeting of the entire tribe and let all the tribe members make the decision!"
He paused, then softened his tone and said, "But if it gets to that point, I'm afraid it will damage the Saint's prestige within the clan. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I really don't want to do that."
See you this afternoon
