Long Fei’s expression was somewhat ugly. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Shen Yanxiao to offend someone from the Broken Star Palace. Moreover, from what that person said, Shen Yanxiao had killed someone from the Broken Star Palace. What should he do?
“The status of the Broken Star Palace is the same as the God Realm. Xiaoxiao has really provoked someone she should not have provoked this time,” Long Fei explained to Long Xueyao in a soft voice and secretly clenched his fist.
He had more or less heard some rumors about the Broken Star Palace. Furthermore, with his keen eyesight, he could tell that at least nine out of the ten people here were of equal strength to him. To make matters worse, he could not even identify the strength of the leader.
Evidently, he had surpassed Long Fei’s cultivation.
The Broken Star Palace had not appeared for many years, and Long Fei had only heard of it from his seniors. He truly did not expect that the other party was here for Shen Yanxiao.
“Guilty? What crime have I committed?” Shen Yanxiao chuckled, not paying any attention to the people from the Broken Star Palace.
“Since you’ve already admitted to killing Ruan Yingzhe, are you still going to deny it?!” The leader raged.
Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, “So, it’s because of that person who colluded with the thieves to cause trouble for my Vermilion Bird Family? The Broken Star Palace is merely so-so. They have a reputation that is spread around the world, but they do all these shady businesses. It’s really amazing.” Shen Yanxiao criticized the Broken Star Palace without any hesitation—her expression was still as bright as a flower.
The leader’s expression immediately darkened. The Broken Star Palace was established by the ancestors who participated in the war between gods and devils. The Broken Star Palace was built to absorb powerful humans and research martial arts. Hence, it was worshipped by everyone in the Brilliance Continent. Even though the Broken Star Palace rarely interfered in worldly affairs, everyone who had heard of the name of the Broken Star Palace felt that it was like thunder striking their ears. When they saw the people from the Broken Star Palace, they were even more respectful and cautious.
When had he ever heard someone insult the Broken Star Palace like that?
“How dare you! You’ve committed such atrocities and even dared to utter such arrogant words. Shen Yanxiao, don’t assume that a junior Second-Class Expert like you can run wild in the Brilliance Continent.” The leader had a gloomy expression as he scolded Shen Yanxiao for being reckless.
“How dare I? Haha…” As if she had heard a joke, Shen Yanxiao suddenly laughed out loud. While shaking her head, she looked at the leader and said, “I honestly didn’t know that getting rid of a person who wanted to kill my grandfather and helped the Vermilion Bird Family’s traitor to seize the family business was something that would harm the good of the world. My dear friend, your words make me feel disgusted.”
The leader turned pale from Shen Yanxiao’s words. There was no reason for Ruan Yingzhe to help Shen Duan.
“Even if Ruan Yingzhe is in the wrong, you are not allowed to punish him. Naturally, the Broken Star Palace has its rules. If you kill Ruan Yingzhe without permission, you will not be able to escape from the Broken Star Palace no matter the reason!”
Shen Yanxiao sneered and looked at the unreasonable man. If that was the case, wouldn’t that mean that even if the Broken Star Palace committed a heinous crime outside, the world could not harm him in the slightest? If they did anything to him, they would be making an enemy out of the Broken Star Palace?
That was simply the logic of a tyrant!
Moreover, Shen Yanxiao was not foolish enough to believe that the Broken Star Palace would not know about Ruan Yingzhe’s plan. She was afraid that the Broken Star Palace had also participated in Shen Duan’s traitorous scheme. Otherwise, how could Shen Yifeng and Shen Duan explain their sudden leap in strength?
