539 â Angry Chastising; Ruining of the Martial Emperor (3)
She gave Old Man Ying a supercilious look before she turned her attention back onto First Elder. âWell? You donât dare to admit to it now? Our Chengâs family is here now. If you kill us now, Sacred Land Zhongyuan will be yours. You can name whoever you want to be the Count. Wasnât that what youâve said just a little while ago? Hereâs your chance now. Donât let it slip you by, wouldnât you say?â
Her volume was neither too loud nor too soft. Anyone who could hear it, heard it.
This was when everyone finally understood why Cheng Xiao Xiao did what she did. He was plotting to take over Sacred Land Zhongyuan; of course Cheng Xiao Xiao would act the way that she did.
Everybody turned to look at First Elder at the same time, including Cheng Yutang.
First Elder ignored everyone else but looked straight at Cheng Biyuan. He said in a deep voice, âBiyuan. This is the family that raised you. Is what how to repay them?â
âFamily? You mean this ruin?â replied Cheng Biyuan casually. He then carried on, âYou are not even a Cheng. The Chengâs had raised you, cultivated you and look what you have done at the Chengâs for the last tens of years? You had killed at least tens of Chengâs if not hundreds. I would like to ask why are you trying to destroy the Chengâs?â
âWhat did you just say??â First Elder changed colors immediately.
âAm I wrong? Can you honestly tell me that you are a Cheng by birth?â
Cheng Biyuanâs look was stone-cold. He stared squarely at First Elder and said, âBut, it made sense that youâd deny it. After all, you have already given up on your ancestry and took up another last name. So itâs only natural that you wouldnât be honest about your own lineage. What wouldnât a traitor whoâd betray oneâs own lineage like you do?â
âHow did you know that?â Suddenly, First Elder decided to admit to it openly.
An uproar came from the crowd, especially from the Chengâs. All of them stared straight at him in disbelief.
âSecrets cannot be kept forever,â said Mo Xuanzun all of a sudden.
As though enlightened, First Elder nodded but didnât seem too concerned about it. He said to Cheng Biyuan, âIf you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened here today. Otherwise, I will definitely regret about today later.â
His tone was unyielding, as though he was powerful enough to have control over heaven and earth and those from the Chengâs didnât threaten him a bit.
He did have what it took to threaten the Chengâs; he just didnât realize that it was already gone.
Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun snickered. They would like to see who had a better trump card!
âYou scum! Thatâs bullsh*t!â
Elder, who couldnât contain himself any more, dashed out and started shouting at him. âScumbag! You worthless piece of sh*t! A bast*rd who came out of nowhere! White-eyed wolf! Great grandfather brought you back and raised you. You are such a scoundrel that you not only murdered great grandfather, but you also murdered numerous disciples of the Chengâs. I must kill you today!!â
The grief and indignation that he had suffered made him roar loudly. Members of the Capital City Chengâs changed colors again. They couldnât help but think about everything that had happened within the Chengâs in the last tens of years.
Even the prideful First Elder changed colors. He scolded, âThatâs nonsense! I have dedicated most of my life in serving the Chengâs and would never do anything to hurt them. You are just trying to place the blame for your own actions onto me!â
âPsst!â
There was no more fear left within Elder. He was enraged. He pointed straight at First Elder and said, âYou know what the truth is, as do everybody else. You canât deny the truth!â
Having said that, he turned toward the hundreds of members of the Capital City Chengâs and said, âAll of you grew up at the Chengâs. Think about it this, how many people do we lose a year? And who were these people that weâve lost? Think in terms of their relationships with this scumbag. Everyone who died were someone who had conflicts with him in the past. Just think about that, and you will know what is the truth.
âIn addition, donât you have some idea what kind of a person this man is? Does the really have affection toward you? All of you had dedicated yourselves for the Chengâs over tens of years. How are your lives now? Just think about it. Do you feel that everything that belonged to the Chengâs no longer have anything to do with you? Do you have any freedom? Do you still think about your family or have you turned into a devil like him? You have turned into someone whoâd murder your own family members for any leftover resources that he was willing to toss your way. Am I right?â
