Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 1215: Chapter 1201: Seeking Death

"Third Elder?"

Fatty’s heart leaped with joy as he shouted towards Fang Qingzhu, "Qingzhu, we’re saved!"

"Hmm?"

Fang Qingzhu was taken aback, looking at Fatty in confusion.

At this moment...

The door to their dungeon opened slowly, and four formidable members of the Tiance Clan entered, taking hold of the two and escorting them out of the dungeon.

A moment later.

The two were taken to the interrogation room.

The interrogation room was particularly dark, with only a few lamps hanging on the walls, casting dim, flickering yellow light, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere. Two cross-shaped stands were in the middle, with Fatty and Fang Qingzhu tied onto them respectively.

Fatty was furious: "What the hell are you doing? I’m Fang Renjie, don’t you recognize me?"

"Silence!"

In response, a cold leather whip.

Snapping across his face, taking with it a strip of flesh, leaving a gruesome wound deep to the bone.

The pain made Fatty grimace and grit his teeth.

Fang Qingzhu frowned slightly, she didn’t believe this situation meant they were saved!

Click-clack, click-clack!

Muffled footsteps gradually approached, a figure clad in a black and red robe, with a shadowed face, slowly came into their view.

Upon seeing the newcomer,

Fatty’s face lit up with elation, shouting loudly, "Third Elder, it’s me, it’s me... I’m Fang Renjie..."

"Didn’t I tell you to shut up?" The guard struck again, the whip landing on him dozens of consecutive times.

The pain made Fatty shudder all over, daring not to shout anymore.

The Third Elder slowly sat before the two, his indifferent gaze peering out from beneath the cloak, giving off an uncomfortably chilling feeling. As if a bone-chilling frost was crawling over the skin, the Third Elder spoke in a hoarse voice: "Speak, what is your true purpose for infiltrating the territory of my Tiance Clan?"

"Wha-what do you mean by infiltrating?"

Fatty looked aggrieved, "Third Elder, how could you not recognize me? I’m Fang Renjie, you and the Second Elder were the ones who sent us away from the Mysterious Realm back then, have you forgotten?"

"Hah, of course I know you are Fang Renjie. However, the mission we gave Fang Renjie was to hide and develop in the Qingtian Realm, yet here you are sneaking back. Who knows if you’ve already betrayed us? Who can guarantee you don’t have other motives for returning?"

The Third Elder sneered, ignoring Fang Renjie’s rebuttals, his cold gaze fixed sharply on Fang Qingzhu, squinting as he spoke, "And you... you’re not part of my Tiance Clan, are you? Fang Renjie brought an outsider like you into our territory, and you dare claim there’s no ulterior motive?"

"What ulterior motive could there be?"

"Is your Tiance Clan gilded or encrusted with jewels?"

"Why do you always assume that those who come into contact with you have ulterior motives?"

Fang Qingzhu internally lamented, smiling bitterly, "Third Elder, please see clearly. I, the younger Fang Qingzhu, am indeed not a member of the Tiance Clan, but the daughter of the Holy Master of Baiyu, Fang Ru. I came to the Mysterious Realm this time..."

"Enough!"

Before Fang Qingzhu could finish, the Third Elder snorted coldly, cutting her off.

The Third Elder placed his hands behind his back, confidently saying, "I wondered who would be so bold as to plot against my Tiance Clan, turns out you rely on having Baiyu backing you. Unfortunately, you’ve picked the wrong enemy. My Tiance Clan fears no one, not even Baiyu..."

"Wait, when did I ever intend to plot against your Tiance Clan?"

Fang Qingzhu looked bewildered.

Fang Renjie hurriedly explained, "Third Elder, you’ve misunderstood, Qingzhu is here to help us, she..."

"Help us? Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous! My Tiance Clan, being a noble ancient clan of the Mysterious Realm, needs no help from outsiders. Don’t think I can’t see through your schemes, everyone covets my Tiance Clan, seeking to find a way to change their fate through us, people are always so ignorant! However, you won’t escape my eyes..."

The Third Elder, full of conviction, waved a few guards over, "Take them back to the dungeon, I’ll report this matter to the council of elders and then decide how to deal with them!"

"Yes!"

The guards immediately escorted Fang Renjie and Fang Qingzhu deeper into the dungeon.

Fang Renjie was desperate, shouting, "Third Elder, you can’t do this, we’re really here to save the Tiance Clan. The Martial Clan is secretly sending experts to attack the clan lineage at Star Picking Peak, if we delay any longer, the Tiance Clan will truly face disaster..."

"Nonsense, beat him hard for me..."

The Third Elder snorted angrily, listening to Fatty’s cries echoing from the dungeon, he snorted again, full of pride, "My Tiance Clan is heaven’s favorite, what do those brutes from the Martial Clan count as? How dare they truly attack my Tiance Clan? It’s simply hogwash, clueless nonsense..."

The Third Elder abruptly flicked his sleeves and left.

......

Tiance Clan’s domain.

Tian Ce City.

The entire city was built in midair, supported from below by a colossal hand-shaped structure, elevating the entire city into the sky.

Surrounded by mist, like a place of immortals.

In the distant sky.

Xiao Yi and Fang Qingyun walked side by side; Fang Qingyun pointed to the massive city, his face full of pride, "This is Tian Ce City, the domain of our Tiance Clan. When the Mysterious Realm was first established, it was forged by our ancestor from a Holy King’s Hand obtained from an extraterritorial battlefield..."

"Holy King’s Hand?"

Xiao Yi paused.

Fang Qingyun nodded, about to explain, when suddenly dazzling lights erupted from within Tian Ce City. noveldrama

Dozens of figures broke through the sky toward them.

These dozens of people were all dressed in splendid clothes, glowing with bright treasure light, approaching like deities. However, they were vigilantly staring at Fang Qingyun and Xiao Yi, with intense wariness in their expressions. Among them, a Peak of Earth Revered Realm expert asked in a deep voice, "Who is coming?"

Fang Qingyun said, "I am Fang Qingyun!"

He took out a token.

It was from the previous Tiance Clan Great Elder, who had pretended to die after reaching the Sacred Venerate Realm, to guard the clan lineage at Star Picking Peak.

"This is..."

The Peak of Earth Revered Realm expert hesitated, his expression changing dramatically, "An Elder’s Token? How is this possible? All clan elders are in Tian Ce City, who are you really? What’s your purpose in impersonating a Tiance Clan elder?"

Swish!

Swish!

Dozens around them moved cautiously, encircling Xiao Yi and Fang Qingyun.

Fang Qingyun’s face darkened, he shouted in anger, "Are you all fools? I am Fang Qingyun, the previous Great Elder, and you..."

"Nonsense!"

The Peak of Earth Revered Realm expert interrupted Fang Qingyun’s words with disdain and a cold smile, "Do you take me for a fool? The previous Great Elder fell countless years ago, yet you dare to impersonate him? It’s even more foolish than those two who snuck in earlier, seize these two for me!"

A group of experts were ready to draw their swords.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, "Did you say two people sneaked in earlier? Were they a man and a woman?"

"Hmm? So you really are accomplices!"

The Peak of Earth Revered Realm expert’s eyes widened, a sinister smile spread across his face, "Those two have already been captured and detained by me, don’t worry, I’ll soon reunite you all!"

Woosh!

Xiao Yi let out a long breath, his eyes growing colder, staring intently at the people in front of him, "You imprisoned Qingzhu? You’re truly seeking your own destruction..."
