"What clan rules?" Han Weixian asked, taken aback.
He was the ancestor of the Han family.
How come I don't know that the Han family has some kind of clan rule that requires them to kill each other?
"That's right, we absolutely forbid any member of the collateral branches from having a light-type spiritual root. If discovered, they will be killed without mercy," the clansman stammered again.
"What the hell?" Han Weixian stared wide-eyed in shock, looking at the clansman in disbelief.
If a member of a collateral branch of the clan is born with a light-type spiritual root, they must be killed without mercy.
Am I hallucinating?
"Say it again." Han Weixian picked at his ear and looked at the clansman with a serious expression.
The tribesman was so frightened that his knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"I, I..."
Han Weixian waited for a long time but didn't get a complete sentence out, and immediately became impatient.
"Who is the current patriarch of the Han family?" Han Weixian asked in a cold voice.
"Ancestor, my name is Han Fei, and I am the current patriarch of the Han family," Han Fei said, swaying forward in mid-air.
He was also bound by the Supreme Elder's tornado.
They can only move within a three-step range.
His hair was disheveled, his clothes were hanging loose, and he looked somewhat disheveled.
Han Weixian frowned: "Why are you up there?"
With his cultivation level, he could easily pull Han Fei down, but he was afraid that it was Yue Xi and her group who made the move.
"It was the Supreme Elder's doing." Han Fei immediately betrayed the Supreme Elder and gave a detailed account of how the Supreme Elder wanted to target Yue Xi and how he desperately tried to stop him.
The Supreme Elder's eyes widened in fury: "Han Fei, you bastard..."
"Ancestor, the Supreme Elder is the Third Elder's great-grandfather. With him backing him up, the Third Elder often does whatever he wants," Han Fei added.
"Han Fei, you bastard!" The Supreme Elder was furious, but dared not make any rash moves, and could only grit his teeth.
"The Supreme Elder?" Han Weixian looked at the old man.
"Junior, junior Han Stone greets ancestor." The old man hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
He hadn't announced his name in a long time.
Because the name doesn't sound very respectable.
Sure enough, Bai Xu smiled.
Not only did he laugh, but he also mocked, "So it's called adultery? Does that mean the master lives by his name?"
Seeing Bai Xu smile, the other cultivators also laughed without any restraint.
You can't go wrong by following in the footsteps of the victors.
"Was all of this your doing?" Han Weixian asked coldly.
"No, I wouldn't dare." Han Sitong hurriedly shook his head: "This junior has been in seclusion and was only awakened today."
"Yes, after being awakened by the Third Elder, the Supreme Elder wanted to kill Xi'er without saying a word," Han Fei added at the opportune moment.
"Han Fei, shut up!" Han Sitong glared angrily at Han Fei.
"So, you awakened me so that I would kill them?" Han Weixian's eyes had turned icy cold.
"I, I..." Cold sweat streamed down Han Sitong's forehead: "They wanted to destroy the Han family, I had no choice. I am the Supreme Elder of the Han family, I have to think about the Han family."
"Who set the clan rules you just mentioned?" Han Weixian ignored Han Sitong and looked at Han Fei instead.
"Wasn't it decided by our ancestors?" Han Fei asked blankly.
"Bullshit!" Han Weixian cursed, "I must have lost my mind to set such a ridiculous rule."
"That, that is..." Han Fei was stunned again by the shout.
"How would I know which bastard made this decision? Instead of nurturing our own people, all they know is scheming and backstabbing, damn it!" Han Weixian cursed angrily.
Bai Qingqing's eyes twitched as she listened.
This ancestor of the Han family had quite a temper.
After finishing his rant, Han Weixian smiled obsequiously at Bai Qingqing and said, "My lord, these ridiculous rules weren't set by me. It's all because my descendants are incompetent."
After saying that, he pointed directly at Han Stone.
Han Stone immediately coughed up blood, and his breathing became weak.
His cultivation level went from half-step immortal to ordinary person in the blink of an eye.
Without the support of his cultivation, Han Sitong instantly became very old, and all his teeth fell out.
Fortunately, Han Weixian used a breath of immortal energy to save his life.
Otherwise, he would die of old age instantly.
“Although this guy didn’t participate in the ambush, it was because of his indulgence that such a tragedy occurred, and he should pay the price,” Han Weixian added.
Han Sitong lay on the ground, his fists clenched tightly.
how so?
He discovered it in an inconspicuous notebook in his ancestral home, where the soul of his ancestor was found sleeping.
Moreover, the method of waking it up is also recorded on it.
He thought that was his support.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be his death warrant.
Now that he's like this, how is he any different from a useless person?
Living like this is worse than dying.
Han Stone raised his hand shakily, but in the end, he didn't have the courage.
In the end, he could only sigh and lower his hand.
It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.
The longer you live, the less you want to die.
"And you, either you cripple your cultivation and are expelled from the Han family, or I will kill you without mercy," Han Weixian said, glancing at the remaining people.
“Chief, we are just following orders,” one of the tribesmen said, his teeth grinding.
I was scared.
Han Weixian merely glanced at the man, then pointed his finger, and with a soft "poof," the man's brow was pierced.
He never closed his eyes until he died.
No one else dared to say anything, busy abandoning their own cultivation.
I was afraid that if I was even a step too slow, I would end up in this person's footsteps.
In a short while, those who had participated in the conflict between Han Sheng and his wife were now slumped on the ground, exhausted.
His face was filled with despair.
“They attacked and killed your maternal grandparents, and should have been executed, but there were reasons for it, and it was not their intention. Although I did not set this rule, it was done by my descendants, and I feel deeply ashamed.” As Han Weixian spoke, he put two fingers together and actually stuck them into his own forehead.
A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.
The next second, Han Weixian pulled a small piece of dark green crystal from between his eyebrows.
The moment the dark green crystal was torn out, Han Weixian's cultivation level began to decline.
He fell from the fifth level of the Immortal King Realm to the second level of the Immortal Warrior Realm. (The Immortal Realm is divided into: Immortal, Immortal Warrior, Immortal Spirit, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor, Immortal Saint, Immortal Venerable, and Half-Step God Realm.)
That was the only time it stopped.
Han Weixian took a deep breath and presented the dark green crystal with both hands: "This is part of my natal crystal, and I offer it as an apology."
This is tantamount to handing one's life over to Bai Qingqing.
"Xiao Hao, what is this?" Bai Qingqing asked in her mind.
"This is something that concerns his life. With this in hand, one can easily control his life and death," Xiao Hao explained.
That old guy is pretty smart.
Knowing it has no power to resist its master, it simply kneels and licks his boots.
Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope.
"Mother, are you willing to accept it?" Bai Qingqing did not take it, but looked at Yuexi instead.
