Chapter 1734: Chapter 1734 Killed the Wrong Person

“This…”

The Great Elder swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his back drenched in cold sweat.

Had he known that Gu Qingyu would provoke such a fearsome God of Slaughter, he would never have given her the Love Potion. It’s too late now; things have already escalated to this extent.

The Sect Master was also terrified, but what could he say? It wasn’t his people who had caused trouble. He could only direct his gaze at the Great Elder, expecting an explanation.

Had it been just someone sent by Lord Yaan, then he might have been able to argue his way out and leave a way out for Qingyun Sect.

But now, from the moment he saw Prince Yuun, he knew it was impossible. This God of Slaughter would not give them such an opportunity. The Sect’s reputation could be destroyed over this—it was not an issue that could be easily resolved.

“Great Elder, Gu Qingyu is your granddaughter. Why aren’t you explaining things to Prince Yuun immediately?”

Seeing that the Great Elder was pretending to be mute, he promptly spoke up, singling out the Great Elder.

The Great Elder ground his teeth in frustration. He had hoped to shrink aside and let the Sect Master handle the situation, as after all, the Sect Master represented the whole Qingyun Sect.

But the Sect Master did not comply with his wishes and insisted on dragging him into the spotlight.

Wouldn’t it benefit the Sect Master if he got into trouble? Couldn’t the Sect Master take on this issue to save him some face?

The Sect Master expressed that face was worth nothing. If this God of Slaughter got angry and wrung his neck, no one’s face would be of any use then, right?

Whoever caused the trouble naturally had to deal with it. Why should he clean up this mess?

“Prince Yuun, this is truly a misunderstanding. I never expected that Qingyu would do such a thing. She is usually so well-behaved and sensible, not someone who would commit such base actions.”

He had no choice but to speak up.

Of course, he couldn’t badmouth his granddaughter; he could only shift the blame. After all, it was now his word against the dead, wasn’t it?

“So, what you’re saying is that my grandnephew was in the wrong? That he offended your Sect’s disciple and unjustifiably killed your Sect’s disciple in the end?”

Prince Yuun’s eyes were filled with a murderous intent as he glared at the Great Elder, seemingly ready to remove his head if he replied in the affirmative.

“No, no, that’s not it.”

The Great Elder didn’t dare agree and shook his head repeatedly.

“Prince Yuun, you’ve misunderstood. It truly is Qingyu’s fault. She has admired Lord Yaan’s talents and gifts since she was young, which is why when she saw Lord Yaan, she wanted to get closer to him. She certainly did not intend to cast the Love Potion on Lord Yaan, she just…”

“Just what?”

As Prince Yuun spat out those four words, a wave of Original Soul energy directly struck at the Great Elder’s knee.

The Great Elder’s leg hurt, causing him to kneel down, and he looked up at Prince Yuun in agony, inwardly shocked. Prince Yuun was indeed Prince Yuun, resorting to violence at a disagreement.

“Do you think I’ve traveled thousands of miles to come here to listen to your excuses? Harming the Crown Prince of the Xiang Dynasty is a capital offense. Am I to understand from the Great Elder that it was my grandnephew who made the mistake of killing the wrong person?”

The Great Elder was dumbstruck, not daring to utter another word, fearing that any more words might not just have him kneeling, but having his head twirled off.

When he gave the Love Potion to Gu Qingyu, it wasn’t meant for her to act against the Xiang Dynasty. Who knew she would do such a thing?
