Chapter 24 - Exemption from death penalty

Not even thirty meters away from the cliff of the abyss, Wang Hao's figure appeared out of thin air. His ten fingers were stained with blood and tightly gripped onto the protruding cliff wall.

"Help!"

Seeing that a figure was about to reach his side from within the black mist, Wang Hao immediately let out a weak cry for help.

At this moment, the Fourth Elder's hands were trembling as he held the rope. His body was slowly moving down. He really did not want to get down, but the clan leader was staring at him from above.

Although the black fog that covered everything, whether it was the naked eye or the perception, even if he did not move, the rope would still be slowly lowered.

At this moment, he wanted to cry, but no tears would come out. Ten thousand grass and horses galloped through his heart as he cursed at almost all the higher-ups of the Wang family.

"Hmm?"

Although Wang Hao's voice was very weak, the Fourth Elder still had a level of cultivation, so he could still hear her.

However, Patriarch Four's courage was obviously not great. With the addition of the fierce name of the abyss, Patriarch Four's whole body trembled. Fear instantly spread in his mind.

He thought it was the sound of demons and devils from the abyss.

"Save me! Save me!"

It was a good thing that Wang Hao continued to shout, allowing the Fourth Elder to finally hear the voice clearly.

"This is …"

The fourth master seemed to have guessed something. He quickly moved down a little bit. Looking around, he vaguely saw a figure sticking to the cliff.

"I am the fourth elder of the Wang Clan. Who are you?"

The fourth elder asked nervously.

He, who was afraid of death, already had no other thoughts in his heart. Right now, his greatest wish was that Wang Hao did not die, because only then would he live.

He was very clear that the Patriarch's words weren't fear-mongering. If Wang Hao died, even if he could leave the abyss alive today, he would certainly die.

Therefore, the Fourth Elder was constantly hoping that the person in front of him was Wang Hao.

If it wasn't for Wang Hao, he probably wouldn't even bother to save his.

Of course, there was one other person that he would save and that would be Wang Tao. If Wang Tao was still alive, then the Fourth Elder might not have to die.

"Hmm? It's actually the Fourth Elder! "

Wang Hao was surprised for a moment, but immediately understood the crux of the matter, and laughed out loud in his heart: Haha, it seems like the Patriarch and the others found the paper in my room, and the Fourth Clan Elder was implicated by Wang Tao, so he was forced to come and find me.

The one who caused the Wang family to lose such a rare genius, who had caused it in the last thousand years, had died. The one who was most likely to be ordered by Fourth Elder had naturally been pushed out to receive punishment.

"I … I am Wang Hao!"

Wang Hao feigned weakness as he replied, but he was already cursing in his heart, "Damn Fourth Elder, you're still grumbling even at a time like this? Luckily I'm still pretending, if I were really so weak, I would have been dragged to death."

"Wang Hao! You are Wang Hao, that's great! "

When the Fourth Elder heard it, he immediately shouted excitedly, and then, he hurriedly gathered his true qi and roared: "Patriarch, I found Wang Hao, Wang Hao did not die!"

"Damn, is this Fourth Elder retarded?"

Wang Hao was completely speechless, this roar of Zhen Qi swept out, and did not manage to blow himself down, luckily his cultivation was not weak and his condition was not bad.

Swish!

As the Fourth Elder finished speaking, the sound of wind breaking could be heard, followed by a figure descending. The Xiantian Qi enveloped her entire body, dispersing the black mist around him, revealing her true appearance.

It was actually the Patriarch of the Wang Family, Wang Liancheng.

Although the abyss was a threat, since the Fourth Elder and Wang Hao were alright, it meant that their depth was still very safe. As an Innate Ranker, naturally, there was nothing to fear. The most important thing at the moment was to save Wang Hao.

Moreover, Wang Liancheng was really afraid that the Fourth Elder would be too impulsive. In order to help his son get rid of the obstacles, he wanted to kill him.

"Help!"

When he saw that it was Wang Liancheng, Wang Hao decisively pretended to be affected by the Fourth Elder's Innate Qi and let go of his hand, falling down.

"Wang Hao!"

Before Wang Liancheng could see Wang Hao clearly, he could already recognize him by the voice. Seeing that the figure was starting to fall down the cliff, his pupils immediately shrank and he immediately extended his hand out to catch Wang Hao.

Whoosh!

Wang Liancheng used one hand to pull on the rope, his figure rapidly pouncing towards Wang Hao. The pitiful Fourth Elder was so scared that she could only tightly hold on to the rope.

What he was afraid of was not only his own safety, but also Wang Hao's safety. Thinking that Wang Hao might have just been shaken down by his own shouts, the Fourth Elder really had the heart to die.

If one were to be suspected, it would be impossible to wash off such a situation even if they jumped into the Yellow River!

Pow!

Fortunately, the Innate Ranker's speed was fast enough, and Wang Hao had made good use of his time to catch Wang Hao.

"Wang Hao, how are you?" Wang Liancheng asked worriedly.

"Patriarch, you've come to save me. That's great! I'm fine. It's just that I was trapped here for an entire night. I'm a little weak!"

Wang Hao, whose face was deathly pale, pretended to see the Patriarch extremely excited. It was as if he had recovered a lot of strength, and was able to speak quickly afterwards.

"It's good that you're fine, I'll take you up!"

Wang Liancheng heaved a sigh of relief and quickly pulled on the rope to increase his strength.

Swish!

Wang Liancheng brought Wang Hao's figure back to the edge of the small forest.

"Patriarch!"

"Wang Hao!"

Everyone cried out in alarm, and then the elders immediately started to question Wang Hao, afraid that their concern for him would be too slow and cause the patriarch to be displeased.

Alright, Jingshan, Wang Hao is very weak right now. You should bring him back to recuperate first.

Wang Liancheng waved his hand, telling everyone to shut up.

"Wang Hao, let's go home!" Wang Jingshan was carried by a princess as she picked up Wang Hao.

Although Wang Hao felt a little awkward, when he thought about his current identity and age, he finally understood. Wang Jingshan's big size, hugging a youth like Wang Hao, seemed to be very harmonious.

"Uncle, I've made you all worry!" Wang Hao continued to feign weakness and apologized in self-blame.

"This is not your fault. Let's not talk about it for now and rest well. Uncle and the Patriarch will give you justice."

Wang Jingshan's face was full of concern as he ran back to the Wang Family residence.

On the side of the small forest, Wang Liancheng asked the nine elders after Wang Jingshan and the guards left, "Everyone, how should we deal with the Fourth Elder?"

"Patriarch, in my opinion, since Wang Hao is safe and sound, the Fourth Elder should be spared from death penalty." An elder voiced out his thoughts.

Wang Liancheng was expressionless, and continued to speak, "Just now, Fourth Elder discovered that Wang Hao was struggling on the cliff and could fall at any moment, but he did not immediately save us. Although his roar was to notify us, it still knocked Wang Hao down, if I did not go down immediately, Wang Hao would have already fallen."

Wang Liancheng's tone was calm, but everyone could hear the coldness in Wang Liancheng's words, or to be more precise, it was killing intent.
