Chapter 521 - Expelling the Headmaster
After coming up with a plan, Island Master Zhao couldn’t hold back anymore. He stood out and shouted in a deep voice, “Ten years ago, Headmaster Senior Brother promised me fifty thousand Spiritual Crystals so that I wouldn’t fight for the position of the headmaster. Within these ten years, he had given me forty thousand Spiritual Crystals. These Spiritual Crystals were used on my son. This is my best explanation.”
Qi Hongan who was on the verge of death stared at Island Master Zhao with eyes full of anger and hatred. He wanted to stop him, but nothing seemed to come out of his mouth. Feng Tianlan had beaten him up too brutally. If he hadn’t been given the Quick Healing Pill, he would still be unconscious.
“One night ten years ago, I went looking for Headmaster Senior Brother. Ultimately, I heard something about a Spiritual Crystal Mine, the Shang Family, and intermittent words like exterminating a family with fire. At that moment, I thought he was discussing the disciples’ training. Besides, on that day, Headmaster Senior Brother gave me two Spiritual Crystals and told me that I’ve worked hard. Now that I think of it, it was more like hush money.”
Upon hearing Island Master Zhao saying things that had never happened, Qi Hongan gathered his breath. “You are spouting nonsense!”
Such a thing had never happened before. After exterminating the Shang Family, he had never mentioned anything that was related to the Shang Family. He didn’t even mention the word “Shang” after that.
“I am not spouting nonsense,” Island Master Zhao said in a determined voice. “You should know what you have done. If you didn’t give me the Spiritual Crystals, how could my son, who had mediocre talent, reach the stage of a Spiritual Grandmaster. It was all because of those Spiritual Crystals.”
Feng Tianlan glanced at Island Master Zhao with disdain. Then, she looked at Xu Qiming of Weapon Island. “I suppose Xu Qiming has something to say as well?”
Xu Qiming who was silent until then raised his head with surprise and looked at Feng Tianlan. Her gaze looked as if she had seen through him. At last, he spoke after staying silent for a while, “Before becoming a disciple, Junior Brother was indeed called Shang Hongyuan. His name was changed by our master after a few days.”
Pfft!
Qi Hongan couldn’t hold it anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood. He stretched out his finger in anger and pointed at them furiously but shakily. “You…” Before he could finish what he said, he spat out another lot of blood.
“The entire Shang Family was a total of one thousand and seventy people, from the swaddling babies to the bedridden elderly. They were all exterminated and burned by Qi Hongan in just one night. As a human being and a warrior, even though this didn’t happen within the two nations, he should pay with his life according to the law of Guiyuan Continent.”
After his speech, Feng Tianlan glanced at him with disdain and said coldly, “He still sent killers over to assassinate me even though I am his grandmaster. This is treason; therefore, I have the right to expel him. Does anyone here oppose this decision?”
“No objections. He is not fit to be a human being. He is not fit to be the headmaster.”
“He privately took possession of a crystal mine and even tried to assassinate great-grandmaster. He deserves to be killed!”
“I support great-grandmaster in expelling him.”
“…”
It didn’t matter whether it was because of the thousands of lives lost or the ten thousand Spiritual Crystals that were wasted for nothing, the disciples no longer supported Qi Hongan. Everyone was simply adding insults to his injury.
“Island Master Xu, lock him up in the dungeon and don’t let him die,” Feng Tianlan turned around and ordered Xu Qiming.
Xu Qiming glanced at Feng Tianlan. He was stunned by her king-like dominance as he answered instinctively, “Yes.”
He finally realized his subconscious behavior after dragging Qi Hongan with him for a distance. His serious face instantly showed hints of happiness. If Feng Tianlan were to take over the Flying Frost Pavilion, she would definitely do a better job than Qi Hongan. He was fine with that. He just hoped that the Flying Frost Pavilion would be stronger.
Gu Nansheng stopped caring about the trial carrying out in front of her after verifying the legitimacy of the evidence. Just as she turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly heard Tu Xiupei say something that made her came to a standstill.
