Chapter 421: Sudden Change!
The elders were momentarily speechless when faced with Yin Mingchong’s questioning.
The elders all had heavy expressions. Some of them were reflecting on whether they had really been harsh on Yin Mingchong.
Only the First Elder had a calm expression as he looked at Yin Mingchong with a disappointed gaze.
After being refuted by the First Elder, Yin Mingchong felt even more unconvinced, so he widened his eyes and questioned the First Elder. “What’s wrong?!”
Yin Mingchong felt that he wasn’t wrong. It was the elders, those stubborn old men, who were wrong!
The First Elder sat behind the short table and said in a low voice, “In this world, there are very few geniuses. Most people are ordinary and useless. As people of the same era, we were inferior to your father. You were inferior to your brother Mingjue, and Yin Rong and Yin Fu are inferior to Yin Huang.”
“According to what you’re saying, should we, Yin Rong, and the disciples all rebel? Should we do whatever it takes to achieve our goals?”
When he heard the First Elder’s question, Yin Mingchong was momentarily at a loss for words and was unable to retort.
The First Elder continued, “In this world, there has never been fairness and equality. There are beautiful people, and naturally, there are ordinary and ugly people. It’s the same for cultivation talent.”
At this point, the First Elder suddenly looked at a woman in a yellow dress who was sitting quietly behind the Yin Clan disciples. That woman was beautiful, and her wavy hair accentuated her fair face. One look at her could arouse the protective instinct in men.
This woman was precisely Yin Mingchong’s wife.
The First Elder pointed at the beautiful woman and said, “After your wife pa.s.sed away, didn’t you also choose a young, beautiful, and gentle girl when you remarried? Just like how you covet beauty, we also cherish talent.”
Among the guests, some cultivators who had the same thoughts as Yin Mingchong and were depressed actually felt enlightened after hearing the First Elder’s guidance.
That’s right. Some people were beautiful and some people were ugly. Cultivators naturally had differences in terms of talent.
Why could they admit that a beautiful woman was dazzling, but they refused to admit that a genius was outstanding?
However, Yin Mingchong couldn’t understand what outsiders like them could understand.
Yin Mingchong laughed loudly with ridicule once more, and he said, “First Elder, you guys have been content with being mediocre all your lives and don’t pursue anything, but I’m different from you guys. Don’t use the excuse you use to comfort yourself on me!”
“I’m different from you bunch of weak and mediocre old things. My life belongs to me, not you guys! You guys look down on me, so I insist on achieving great things to prove you wrong! If you don’t want me to be the Patriarch, I insist on being it!”
“If I didn’t have power and status, would that little girl be willing to follow me?!”
The First Elder grunted lightly and asked, “Yin Mingchong, have you obtained any results?”
Yin Mingchong recalled the contributions he’d made in the 21 years he’d led the Yin Clan. He was just about to boast when he heard the First Elder say, “You keep saying that you’re unconvinced, that you refuse to accept your fate, and that you want to produce results to prove us wrong. But I only saw that in a short twenty years, under your lead, the Yin Clan fell from the position of the head of the Holy Spirit Continent’s Hundred Great Cultivation True Clans to the top 30s.”
“As for your carefully nurtured daughter, she couldn’t enter the Divine Realm Academy no matter how hard she tried. The eldest disciple you carefully chose couldn’t defeat the Young Master even after changing her blood nor could she obtain Prime Master Jing An’s inheritance.”
“Yin Mingchong, tell me, exactly what outstanding results did you achieve?”
The First Elder pointed at the yellow-dressed beauty and scolded angrily, “Using threats and promises to force a beautiful girl to marry you is the greatest achievement you will ever achieve in your life!”
Yin Mingchong was speechless.
He had nothing to say.
The First Elder suddenly stood up and cupped his fists in the direction of all the guests. He said in embarra.s.sment, “Today is the Yin Clan’s Young Master’s homecoming banquet. Everyone has come from afar and should have been treated with music and wine. Unfortunately, a stubborn fool appeared in the clan!”
The cultivators shook their heads and said politely, “No worries, First Elder.”
The First Elder’s expression suddenly became serious. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yin Mingchong and said loudly, “The Yin Clan’s disciple, Yin Mingchong, attempted to murder his own niece and caused the descendant of a might figure to wander outside for 21 years. He deserves death! From this moment onwards, Yin Mingchong will be officially kicked out of the Yin Clan’s genealogy. From now on, Yin Mingchong has nothing to do with the Yin Clan!”
With that, the First Elder suddenly waved his hand, and an ancient family tree floated in the sky.
The First Elder picked up a brush and flew into the sky before publicly removing Yin Mingchong’s name from the Yin Clan’s genealogy!
The moment Yin Mingchong’s name was removed from the genealogy, the word ‘Yin’ on Yin Mingchong’s Patriarch attire suddenly dimmed and lost its glow.
Yin Mingchong lowered his head to look at the dim Yin character on his chest, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
“Hahaha! I, Yin Mingchong, have sacrificed my entire life for the Yin Clan, yet in the end, I actually ended up in such a laughable state!” Yin Mingchong suddenly raised his index finger and pointed at Yu Huang while asking in a deranged manner, “Yin Mingjue, are you happy?! Are you very happy to see me being kicked out of the genealogy?!”
Yu Huang held her forehead with her hand and shook her head.
Crazy.
This guy was crazy.
As if the commotion was not enough, Caro Xiangfu suddenly stood up. “Prime Emperor Zhengyang is busy, so he sent me to attend today’s homecoming banquet on his behalf.”
Caro Xiangfu raised another black sign. On it were the words ‘Beast Tamer Alliance’.
This was the badge of the president of the Beast Tamer Alliance. Only the president could hold the badge. Back then, when Anna partic.i.p.ated in the Beast Tamer Selection Compet.i.tion, Sheng Xiao used this badge to convict Xuanyuan Sisi.
Caro Xiangfu raised the sign and said, “Prime Emperor Zhengyang has long suspected that Yin Mingchong’s actions were suspicious, so he specially sent me to investigate everything on behalf of the Yin Clan.”
After a pause, Caro Xiangfu stared at Yin Mingchong with a spurious smile, and he said with slight complacency, “After investigation, Grand Master Yin Mingchong has forged a Beast Tamer ID, and it has severely affected the reputation of the Beast Tamer Alliance. Attempting to murder the orphan of a mighty figure is a serious crime, and he should be brought to the Beast Tamer Court immediately to receive the punishment of the Beast Tamer Law!”
Hearing this result, Yu Huang finally smiled.
Yin Mingchong was finally going to receive his punishment.
“Heh… Hahahaha!” Yin Mingchong suddenly raised his head and roared with laughter.
Everyone looked at him in succession, and only now did they notice that Yin Mingchong looked unhinged. His body floated up bit by bit, and at the same time, a pair of enormous bird wings suddenly stretched out from his back.
Following that, his body fused with the beast form roc. The roc raised its head and charged into the sky, as if it was trying to escape!
“Yin Mingchong is planning to escape!” Seeing this, Sheng Lingfeng and the old dean stood up at the same time and summoned their beast forms at the first possible moment before flying into the sky to join the battle.
At the same time, Caro Xiangfu and countless experts summoned their beast forms at the first possible moment and surrounded the Yin Clan’s Eight Towers Mountain, blocking Yin Mingchong’s path of retreat.
Yin Mingchong saw that there was no way out, but there wasn’t the slightest panic on his face!
“Heh, do you really think you can kill me?” Yin Mingchong suddenly shouted loudly. “Honorable Peac.o.c.k King, please take away your subject!”
Peac.o.c.k King?
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang’s expression suddenly changed!
“Everyone, pay attention. The Blood Peac.o.c.k is among us!”
Just as Yu Huang finished shouting, she saw six to seven Grand Masters being sent flying by a powerful spiritual force!
“Ah!”
The Grand Masters were repelled and fell towards the bottom of the spiritual power mirror!
The seats where the Grand Masters were sitting immediately became s.p.a.cious.
Yu Huang looked in that direction and saw an unfamiliar man in a light purple suit sitting cross-legged behind a short table in the middle of the s.p.a.cious venue.
The man put down the crystal cup in his hand and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips. “Everyone, long time no see.” With that said, the man lowered his head and stroked his neck a few times. Then, in front of everyone, he tore off a human skin mask from his face!
The human skin hood was removed, and a fair and handsome face was revealed in front of everyone.
That face had rosy lips and a handsome nose. His eyebrows were raised, and his long and narrow eyes should have been piercing and threatening. However, his eyes were filled with compa.s.sion and kindness.
“Su Xuanye!”
Everyone was shocked when they recognized Su Xuanye.
Sheng Lingfeng suddenly shouted at Prime Emperor Dino, “Prime Emperor Dino! I’ll leave Su Xuanye to you!” In fact, Sheng Lingfeng had long guessed that Su Xuanye might join the cultivators and partic.i.p.ate in Yu Huang’s homecoming banquet.
Yu Huang was the only dual cultivator on the Holy Spirit Continent other than Su Xuanye. Su Xuanye paid a lot of attention to Yu Huang. After knowing that Yu Huang was the young master of the Yin Clan, he would probably attend the homecoming banquet.
Sheng Lingfeng had personally fought Su Xuanye before. He knew very well how terrifying this person was. For this, he even specially wrote a letter to invite Prime Emperor Dino to the Yin Clan to help them deal with Su Xuanye.
Otherwise, with Prime Emperor Dino’s status, there was no need for him to attend a human gathering.
Prime Emperor Dino nodded and slowly stood up. His light golden hair that reached his waist fluttered in the wind. Under his loose robe, his powerful fishtail was filled with terrifying destructive power.
Su Xuanye looked at Prime Emperor Dino with interest. He suddenly said, “Eight hundred years ago, you, who was still a Prime Master, brought many experts of the merman race to the Divine Sea to surround the ancient merman. I wonder if Prime Emperor Dino still remembers this?”
When he heard this, a dark look flashed across Dino’s dark purple eyes. “Where is that ancient fish?!” Dino had long received the Grand State Master’s letter and knew that the ancient fish was still alive and had established the Blood Peac.o.c.k Organization with Su Xuanye.
However, the ancient fish had hidden herself extremely well. Dino had yet to find her hiding place.
Su Xuanye smiled mysteriously.
“Prime Emperor Dino, why don’t you guess where she is at this moment?” Su Xuanye looked at Dino mysteriously, his eyes filled with amus.e.m.e.nt. “Prime Emperor Dino, you must have never seen Xixia Sea dyed red with blood…”
