Finally, we had come to this issue.
I frowned slightly.
"Hahahahaha!"
At that moment, the Head of the Dong Family suddenly burst into a fit of laughter, his chubby face shaking with each guffaw. He stood up from his chair, pointing a finger at me and said, "You! What do you have to say now? The Ghost Corpse has been a menace for years, and every time it appears, it gets hunted down! It brings chaos to the living world, and its heart is wicked. The Sun and Moon Alliance cannot tolerate someone like you, who is blinded by greed and indifferent to the lives of others! Your actions are treasonous; calling you a demon is no exaggeration! What else do you have to say?"
"Do I need to explain anything to you? Idiot!"
I glanced at the fat man with annoyance and replied coolly, "Has the Sun and Moon Alliance started meddling in personal affairs? Do you enjoy dragging everything into moral high ground as if I were some kind of villain? Yes, my friend is a Ghost Corpse, I admit it! But has he been killing people everywhere? What does that have to do with you?"
"This thing poses a threat to the balance of the Yin-Yang Realms; this is no longer your personal matter!"
The Dong Family Head glared at me and continued harshly, "You call your friend kind? What was he doing when you were out there defending him? Don't even try; I'll accompany you to slaughter them all, claiming he wants to annihilate the Sun and Moon Alliance! Isn't that enough to show his brutality? Such a creature should not exist!"
"Damn it!"
I couldn't help but curse under my breath, narrowing my eyes at the fat man. "If you think you should exist, why don't you bring your Dong Family trash up here and try?"
"You—"
The Dong Family Head's expression froze for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he finally spat out three words: "You've gone mad."
"Alright, stop arguing."
At that moment, the Leader spoke again, his gaze shifting briefly to Xiao Xiao before returning to me. "Regardless of whether the Ghost Corpse is indeed a vicious creature or not—everyone can see that. However, considering that the Xia Family has managed to keep it under control without causing great calamity all this time, it's understandable."
This statement...
Is this an attempt to justify himself?
It seems so. If this were a year ago, I might have actually thought of this Leader as a good person. But after enduring countless open and covert attacks over the past year, how could I not see through his little word games?
On the surface, it appears he is trying to comfort me, but in reality, it’s clear that he views Xiao Xiao as a threat that must be eliminated. It’s almost a definitive conclusion!
He wants to get rid of Xiao Xiao!
After a moment of contemplation, I began to grasp the meaning behind this Leader’s words.
Eliminating Xiao Xiao would cut off one of my arms; ultimately, the only person he truly fears is me!!!
He doesn’t want me to grow stronger!
I seemed to understand why this Leader was associating with the Dong Family. He was worried about my growth; if you read between the lines carefully, you could sense this fear—he likely feared the Xia Family!
I had heard stories from the time when my grandfather and father were at their peak, when the entire Sun and Moon Alliance was nearly dominated by the Xia Family. The position of Leader was practically ceremonial, overshadowed by those with great accomplishments!
Now that I am also on the verge of growing stronger, he fears a repeat of those past events. After all, I have the Ghost Corpse and the Spirit Ghost by my side; it’s bound to create upheaval!!
As for those who know about my situation with the bowl, Zhengyang is one of them. Zhengyang has significant ties to this Leader, and once this topic comes up, the Leader becomes restless, feeling that something should be done before I mature alongside the ghostly offspring. Ironically, this time I fell into their trap. With the Dong Family also wanting me gone, this Leader likely concluded that eliminating me would solve his problems. Thus, he conspired to wipe out all our friends and allies from the Xia Family.
In doing so, he could finally put an end to his worries about the rising power of the Xia Family!
Everything suddenly made sense!
"Leader agreed to kill me to protect his own position.
Zhengyang deceived me because Leader wants me dead; he listens more to this person!
The Dong Family plotted to kill me for immense benefits!
This is a whole assembly line operation!
I have roughly sorted out all the tricks in my mind.
At that moment, Leader suddenly changed his tone and said, 'However, no matter how terrifying Ghost Corpse is, it is ultimately within a controllable range. I can forgive you for that! But Spirit Ghost is uncontrollable; you need to understand this!'
Is this a form of temptation?
Zhengyang remains clueless!
In other words, Leader cannot possibly know now!
As for the verdict, what more do I need to expect? It has long been predetermined: the Xia Family will be erased!
'Interesting!'
I made my choice at that moment and coldly laughed, 'Master, do you have a habit of presenting your wife for others to verify her identity?'
'Oh? Are you too lazy to explain or prove anything?'
Leader raised an eyebrow and suddenly said, 'Then do you know that according to the rules of the Triad Tribunal, if you refuse to explain or prove in the Defense Hall, it will be taken as a confession and you will be executed on the spot!'"
I had no words, only tightly gripped the knife in my hand.
"Don't be impulsive; this is not the time!"
Suddenly, the voice of Wan echoed in my heart, and she urged me, "Although they want to verify your identity as an insult to you, can a true man not bend and stretch? Let them verify! Once they confirm it, they still have to go through the Discipline Hall! This will buy you a lot of time, much better than being killed on the spot. You need time desperately. Never act on impulse or speak lightly of life and death before reaching a dead end, understand?!"
Wan’s injuries had nearly healed, allowing her to enter my body through spiritual energy. By absorbing my bloodline, she maintained her power and continued to grow stronger, which is why she had been so active lately.
Without giving me a chance to choose, a black mist floated out from my chest. In the next moment, Wan stood gracefully beside me, her cold hand suddenly grasping mine. She looked up at the Leader and smiled lightly, "No need for verification anymore, right? I'm already standing here; you can see for yourselves that the ghostly fetus has been conceived! However, considering our cooperation, could you possibly lessen the punishment when deliberating on the discipline?"
A radiant smile appeared on Wan's face; it was bright and cheerful. She was not someone who smiled often, yet here she was.
Suddenly, I understood that Wan was using her actions to tell me to endure! To wait! Even if it meant kneeling and bowing before others until the right moment arrived!
Yet deep down, I felt an immense discomfort!
Swish!
The Leader abruptly stood up from his chair. This was the first time since the Triad Tribunal began that he changed color, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Wan, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his gaze!
That murderous intent was subtle, but I saw it clearly, further confirming my suspicions.
Not only was the Leader shocked; the entire Defense Hall fell silent. After three or four minutes passed, it erupted like boiling water!
"Is it really a Spirit Ghost?!"
"This kind of abomination has truly come into existence?!"
"Disaster! This is truly a disaster! If we hadn't discovered it early, who knows how much chaos would have ensued!"
The entire Defense Hall was filled with whispers.
I heard everything, and if it weren't for the bowl tightly gripping my hand, I would have likely exploded by now.
Insult me, deceive me, harm me—I accept it all. Being in this circle, I acknowledge it!
But innocent people cannot be dragged into this!
"Alright, everyone quiet down!"
At this moment, the Leader finally managed to suppress his agitation and said in a deep voice, "The defense has concluded. Now it's time for everyone to express their opinions on the verdict!"
