After thinking for a moment, a corpse appeared in front of him; it was the wind-elemental disciple of the Zhao family.
He grabbed the body by the leg and threw it into the beam of light. The light and shadow rippled, and the corpse disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Hmm, this is interesting. Let me try again.
Another corpse was thrown into the beam of light, which, like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open, swallowed everything indiscriminately.
Thump, thump, two people fell out of the pillar of light in succession.
Zhao Shan was delighted, but his face immediately darkened. "Useless! He really doesn't give me any face. The envoy is here. Doesn't he know how to act more elegantly?"
He kicked with his toe, "Get up."
No response, so he continued kicking: "What, you think such a little pressure can crush your bones?"
A member of the Zhao family turned his head to look, and his face came right up against Feng Yi Neng's.
"ah……"
The wind-elemental creature's head and face were swollen and its appearance was ferocious, clearly indicating that it had been soaking in the water for quite some time.
Zhao Shan's heart tightened, and he turned the person over, involuntarily gasping for breath.
Then look at the other person, who, too, was dead beyond dead.
"Your Excellency, the Envoy."
The old man ignored Zhao Shan and examined the body repeatedly. There were no wounds, so it was neither caused by ice nor fire powers.
The withered fingertips touched the two people's heads, but there were no wounds.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a silver needle from his waist and pricked the two of them several times. The needle tip was silvery and shiny, indicating that they had not died from poisoning.
The old man looked pale. This is strange. How did they die?
The array stones of the Five Elements Binding God Array on the two of them were also gone.
Zhao Shan's face darkened further. He was already weak in the Zhao family, and now he had lost two... no, five direct descendants. If his uncles, cousins, and other relatives who coveted his position as head of the family found out...
Zhao Shan dared not even imagine what kind of predicament he would face.
The old man straightened up and looked at him calmly:
"Those three disciples are probably in grave danger as well. What are the Zhao family head's plans?"
"I……"
Zhao Shan was speechless; his mind was in complete turmoil, and he didn't know what to do.
By abandoning the relationship, the benefits promised by the reclusive elder were lost, and five elite disciples were also lost in the process.
Continuing on, with the outcome uncertain, Zhao Shanshi dared not gamble.
The old man hummed softly:
"Our elders don't necessarily need the Zhao family. The Jin family has repeatedly expressed their desire to cooperate with our elders. The elders' preference for the Zhao family is only because the Zhao family and the Ding family are related by marriage..."
He sighed and said, "Fine, since Patriarch Zhao is in a difficult position, let's just drop this matter."
He turned to leave.
"No, no, no, Your Excellency, let's...discuss this some more."
Without the support of the reclusive elder of the Ding family, Zhao Shan feared being devoured by his ravenous cousins.
A barely perceptible smile flashed across the old man's face. The Jin family was ambitious and treacherous, but they were no match for the Zhao family.
Zhao Shan is a fool; I bet he just can't bear to give up the elder as his powerful backer.
