Chapter 56

~7 min read 1,342 words

"No, don't! Ancestor, spare me, I was wrong, I really have repented... If my cultivation is abolished, the Bai Family will lose a King-level powerhouse."

Bai Qiang's face was pale; he crawled on his knees to Bai Zhantian's side and hugged the Ancestor's thigh.

He had cultivated for half a lifetime to finally have his current strength.

Losing his cultivation was worse than death...

"Hmph!"

But Bai Zhantian remained unmoved, his eyes resolute, and he slapped down with his palm.

*Slap! *

The palm landed on the back of Bai Qiang's neck, and a pure and powerful Xuanqi poured into Bai Qiang's spine, instantly spreading and filling every meridian in his body.

"Ah! Don't, Ancestor!"

Bai Qiang let out a pig-like scream.

It wasn't over yet.

Bai Zhantian grabbed Bai Qiang and slapped his palm near his dantian again.

The manic Xuanqi transformed into a ball of cyan light, wreaking havoc within his dantian...

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

Bai Qiang's screams were even more desperate.

He could clearly feel that not only were his meridians broken, but his dantian had also been destroyed.

He had truly become a useless person.

Not only did he lose his cultivation, but he also had no chance to cultivate in the future.

Even normal activities were somewhat difficult...

The despair in his heart, combined with the physical pain, finally caused him to faint, curling up on the ground like a dead dog.

Although he had fainted, his body was still instinctively twitching; the aftereffects of broken meridians were too great...

"Sigh."

Bai Zhantian let out a long sigh.

In terms of bloodline, he was Bai Qiang's grandfather generation; he couldn't help but feel a bit soft-hearted.

But Bai Qiang doing such a thing was unforgivable!

Leaving him this breath to guard the spirits in the Ancestral Hall for the rest of his life was already a great mercy.

"Take him away."

Then, Bai Zhantian called over several guards and dragged Bai Qiang out.

"Serves him right!"

"Not wanting to be a proper Clan Elder, but insisting on being a traitor."

"It's very satisfying!"

Many clansmen clapped and praised.

Yang Yu took the opportunity to say: "Family Head, the spy who colluded with the Ximen Family hasn't come out yet; should we continue questioning?"

"Hmm." Bai Sheng nodded.

Yang Yu deliberately said loudly: "Of course, everyone who accepts questioning must drink a cup of my True Truth Tea."

Many clansmen were secretly shocked.

They had all seen the effect of the tea; it really could force people to speak the truth.

This thing was too bizarre.

However, those with nothing to hide were not afraid...

Yang Yu said again: "Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict! Now, voluntarily admit it, and you can be a bit more decent and reduce your punishment..."

Before the words fell, a figure rushed out of the crowd in a panic, screaming in terror:

"I, it's me, I admit, I admit! Family Head, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

All eyes converged.

It was none other than Bai Qiang's son, Bai Junjie.

Yang Yu clicked his tongue: "You did it?"

Bai Junjie said with a trembling voice: "It, it was me who contacted the Ximen Family and told them the Ancestor's strength had plummeted."

"Wicked beast!"

Bai Sheng was furious and slapped him away, directly sending Bai Junjie flying.

Bai Junjie's bones were nearly falling apart, but he couldn't care about the pain and crawled back:

"Family Head, I was also momentarily possessed by a ghost. At the time, I was humiliated at the banquet, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I used the Transmission Tablet to contact the Ximen Family to vent my emotions. Now I really know I was wrong; I will definitely change in the future."

Bai Junjie knelt on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

Having witnessed the effect of the True Truth Tea, he didn't dare to hide anything at all.

If he admitted it voluntarily, the outcome might be a bit better...

"You secretly passed intelligence to the Ximen Family; did your father know?" Bai Sheng suddenly asked.

"He didn't know; I was in a fit of anger at the time and just did it directly. Actually, looking back now, I also regret it very much. Fortunately, everyone turned the tide and didn't let the Ximen Family succeed," Bai Junjie shivered.

"What a piece of trash."

"Just because he was unhappy, he did such a thing."

"Nearly ruined the family."

"Neither father nor son is any good."

"Bai Qiang is bad, Bai Junjie is both bad and stupid!"

The clansmen couldn't help but curse.

Bai Zhantian looked disappointed: "Since you admitted it, then you should be like your father and have your cultivation abolished."

Bai Junjie was so anxious that tears streamed down:

"Ancestor, don't, I voluntarily confessed; shouldn't I be treated leniently? I really reflected on it, I won't dare again..."

Bai Zhantian gave a cold snort: "Just abolishing you is already treating you leniently!"

After saying that, he slapped out with his palm.

Because Bai Junjie's cultivation wasn't high, he was abolished shortly after.

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

Bai Junjie's face turned pale instantly, his face twisted in pain, and his voice went hoarse from screaming.

"Take him away, accompany his father in confinement, and never leave for the rest of his life."

Bai Zhantian waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Several guards quickly dragged the person away.

"Good!"

"Both major traitors have been caught!"

"Now the family is finally clean!"

"Father and son guarding the spirits together, what a blessing."

Many Bai Family clansmen cheered.

Yang Yu, however, looked at the direction Bai Junjie was sent, saying nothing, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

He was a steady person and believed in the principle of cutting weeds and eliminating roots.

Abolishing their cultivation indeed made it hard for them to do anything else.

But it was still not as safe as them being dead.

If it were up to Yang Yu to handle it, he would definitely have wiped out the two directly.

However, the Ancestor and Family Head were acting according to family law, which was also fine.

As a junior, Yang Yu couldn't really point fingers.

He planned to go and slaughter the father and son quietly later to eliminate future trouble.

Since it wasn't convenient for the Bai people to do it, he would just do it himself.

…………

"Alright, the matter has been resolved; everyone disperse first, rest well, and stand by at any time. There will be another battle between the Bai Family and the Ximen Family!"

Bai Sheng waved his hand, dismissing the clansmen, and only kept Yang Yu.

Then he said to Yang Yu:

"Yang Yu, today you were the greatest contributor to catching the traitor again; the Bai Family doesn't know how to thank you."

Yang Yu smiled and said: "Uncle is too polite; this was also for my own safety."

Bai Sheng whispered: "Speaking of which, what trick did you use in the tea? You could actually make Bai Qiang speak the truth."

Yang Yu said: "True Truth Water, colorless and tasteless."

"There is actually such a miraculous thing in the world; I can see through you less and less," Bai Sheng sighed, "This thing is very rare, right?"

Yang Yu said: "Hmm, actually I don't have much True Truth Water either, and it's impossible to have all the clansmen drink it. However, for this kind of thing, one bottle is enough; it mainly serves as a deterrent."

Bai Sheng agreed deeply and said:

"That's right, after Bai Qiang was hit, the other traitors jumped out themselves. By the way, there is something I want to give you; I was busy fighting just now and didn't have a chance to give it to you..."

As he spoke, he gently touched his Space Ring, and a jade slip appeared in his palm.

The jade slip emitted a cyan-green luster and radiated an ancient and mysterious aura; it was a treasure at a glance...
