"Master Wei, your words are mistaken. We simply want to investigate clearly how those people died and whether it is related to Dongyue Mansion."

Upon seeing Wei Qiankun's arrival, the many elders from the royal clan, who were prepared to unite and overpower the masters of Dongyue Mansion, paused their steps intended to investigate whether there was an issue with these students.

A group of people felt immense pressure and dared not act rashly.

Finally, it was the elder of the Ji Clan who couldn't swallow the death of Ji Changfei and couldn't help but speak.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Wei Qiankun heard the elder's words and coldly glanced at him before suddenly saying, "Not long ago, Dongyue Mansion lost an Ancestral Weapon. I suspect it is related to your Ji Clan. Can the Ji Clan open its doors for us, allowing us to search thoroughly?"

"You?!"

Upon hearing Wei Qiankun's words, the elder of the Ji Clan was instantly furious and directly rebuked, "What nonsense are you spouting? Where did Dongyue Mansion get an Ancestral Weapon? Even among our major royal clans, none have Ancestral Weapons. Your fabrications should have a limit!"

Wei Qiankun sneered slowly, "If you don't have Ancestral Weapons, how can you say we don't? My Ancestral Weapon is unaccountably missing, and your Ji Clan is the biggest suspect. Can you let me search thoroughly?"

The Ji Clan's elder was infuriated and finally snorted coldly, "None of our Ji Clan members have even visited Dongyue Mansion, let alone Donghua Province. How could they steal your Magic Treasure? If you can provide evidence, I can authorize an inspection of our Ji Imperial Clan's Treasure Pavilion. But if you find nothing, what then, Wei Qiankun? How will you make amends?"

Wei Qiankun didn't engage further and casually laughed, "Oh, now you demand evidence? Why didn't you provide any before trying to attack Dongyue Mansion with other clans?"

As he spoke, Wei Qiankun's face suddenly darkened, his words accompanied by sounds of thunder and wind, making it hard for others to hear anything.

The mountains and rivers trembled, and even heaven and earth seemed to lose their color.

Behind them, Duanchang Gorge shook violently, pale blue ghost mist swirling, with evil spirits vaguely impacting it.

For quite a while.

Only then did the royal clan elders feel they could hear again, their faces pale, blood flowing from their seven orifices, severely injured.

Even the younger generation of the royal clan, like Ji Changkong and Jiang Taiping, were terrified, pale-faced, and filled with dread.

If not for Wei Qiankun's mercy, these people would have perished at his word, leaving no trace behind!

However, as Wei Qiankun wasn't planning to truly sever ties with the royal clan, he wouldn't actually harm them; otherwise, it would indeed be a fight to the death.

Even though royal clan leaders died in the Earth Emperor Relic in Cangyan State, removing mutual dread at the same level, Wei Qiankun wouldn't easily go to war with them either.

After all, these royal clans have survived too long, with too many hidden depths. Who knows if at the brink of extinction, many old undead in the Chrono Light Realm would emerge!

Because Dongyue Mansion itself possesses such depths!

Hence, unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't easily start a battle!

"Apologies, we acted recklessly!"

The elder of the Ji Clan wiped the blood from his mouth and lowered his head to hide the venom in his gaze, finally apologizing to Wei Qiankun.

No choice!

From Wei Qiankun's attitude, it's clear he wouldn't allow his students to be humiliated, nor let any Secret Technique probe into whether the murderer of Ji Changfei and others came from Dongyue Mansion.

He is intent on protecting his students!

Without the clan leaders of the royal families present, he could only apologize to Wei Qiankun.

Who knew if Wei Qiankun would go mad and take harsher actions against them, or even assassinate them?

"Hmph, let this be the end of it!"

Seeing the elder of the Ji Clan apologize, Wei Qiankun's expression somewhat softened, but he coldly snorted, "How can there be no sacrifices in Tiangan Secret Realm? Nearly half of our Dongyue Mansion students died, and you dare to suspect us!"

"If afraid of blood, your clans may hand over the Remnant Jade, leaving all thousand plus slots to us at Dongyue Mansion."

Wei Qiankun declared loftily.

His gaze was cold, looking down on the many elders below.

Hearing Wei Qiankun's words, although the many royal clan elders were indignant and alarmed, they didn't dare meet his eyes, lowering their gaze, their tone carrying hidden resentment, "Master Wei, don't jest..."

"Hmph, clueless."

Seeing this, Wei Qiankun felt quite disinterested, coldly snorted, and couldn't be bothered to waste words with them. He turned to Wang Yeqing and the academy masters, saying, "Let's go."

"Whoosh!"

With that, he waved his hand sharply, and immediately, all the mentors and students of Dongyue Mansion shimmered with a faint glow.

Then, the glow vanished, and the figures of the Dongyue Mansion crowd disappeared from outside the Duanchang Gorge.

"Damn it!"

Watching the departure of the Dongyue Mansion crowd. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The many royal clan elders still dared not voice a word of resentment, pausing for nearly a minute.

Only then did the elder of the Ji Clan, previously oppressed by Wei Qiankun and apologizing, curse in anger.

If the leader of the Ji Imperial Clan were here, how dare Wei Qiankun press him like that?

Unfortunately, the leaders of the major royal clans were forcibly taken by the kings and emperors of powerful foreign races to explore the Earth Emperor Relic!

Now, nearly a month has passed.

Not a word from them.

Neither life nor death known!

This is the sorrow of their royal clan.

Despite relying on powerful foreign races, Divine Race, Devil Clan, Demon Race, etc., offering their finest women to these powerful races' geniuses hoping for their favor, allowing their clan to gain a few strong-blooded talents in the future.

This price is not just their royal dignity ruined before the foreign races, reduced to lackeys!

Even secretly cursed as lackeys by other human factions!

It also carries great risk!

Once any top-grade human relics or cave residences emerge within the Canglan Realm involving human inheritance, their clan leaders and strong members are forcibly conscripted to explore the relics.

That is why when the Earth Emperor Relic in Cangyan State surfaced, their royal clan leaders all gathered there?

Not willingly, but forcibly conscripted by the strong clans they rely on!

Now, with no contact and their fate unknown.

If something truly goes wrong, and Wei Qiankun knew the inside story, he might have already taken a lethal strike against them!

Although their royal clan holds old undead depths, they remain in Xilan Province, even if the old undead wish to act, it's beyond their reach!
