Chapter 25 - Two people in private

"What!?" Fourth Bro actually dares to play such a dirty trick! " The Third Elder was immediately infuriated.

"This is too vicious, too treacherous. The Fourth Elder is hopeless. I take back what I just said!"

The elder who had previously said that death penalty could be avoided said angrily.

"Fourth Elder is really going too far. Is this still something a human should do?"

"Um, could it be that the Fourth Elder was too excited because of discovering Wang Hao that he forgot to rescue him in time?

An elder said weakly, "I think it's best to wait for Fourth Elder to come up and ask about this. After all, we still have to consider Wang Yi's existence."

Clan leader, I think it's best for us to understand the cause of this matter. As for Wang Hao, we also need to ask him about it!

The Great Clan Elder said in a deep voice, "We still have to be wary of Wang Yi's existence. After all, he is a sect disciple, a future Innate Ranker!"

All the clan elders had different opinions, but Wang Liancheng listened to them without uttering a word.

At this moment, the fourth elder climbed onto the stage in a fluster.

Clan leader, we were lucky enough to survive. Wang Hao is indeed a favored child of heaven, his fortune is deep and profound, he will definitely be blessed in the future, and our Wang family will have hope to rise again!

The Fourth Elder came up with a round of congratulations and blessings. He hoped that he could win the Patriarch's good impression. No matter how bad it was, he could still change the topic.

Because he was down there just now, he more or less heard what the crowd thought of him. If he wasn't in an abyss with nowhere to run, he would have probably been scared to the point of running away.

"Humph!"

Wang Liancheng snorted, then laughed out loud: "Fourth Elder, you have done a great deed this time, how will This Patriarch reward you?!"

Clan leader, you have forced my hand, although the cause of this matter is not me, it is also my bastard nephew who caused it, I do not usually discipline him well, and cannot be blamed for this. Fortunately, Wang Hao is blessed by the heavens, I hope Clan leader can let me off this easily!

The Fourth Elder begged for mercy in terror. While admitting that he was responsible, he did not forget to bring up Wang Tao, the main culprit, in the hopes that he could divert the patriarch's hatred and lower his own punishment.

As for the reward, how could he dare to ask for it?

From this point of view, the Fourth Elder was quite intelligent. She could judge the situation and bend the situation.

After Wang Liancheng heard this, the killing intent in his heart had been reduced quite a bit. The Fourth Elder was still a talented person, although there were some personal grudges, but this was something that many elders could not avoid, it was undeniable. Adding his son Wang Yi's identity as the Patriarch, if he really killed the Fourth Elder, it would not be a small problem when Wang Yi came back.

Since Wang Hao was fine now, it was not impossible for him to let go of the Fourth Elder for the time being.

"Fourth Elder, don't be so ruthless, I will cancel the supply of your family's resources, and take back your authority as an elder, leaving only the position of fourth elder. When Wang Yi returns, we can discuss further, do you have any objections?"

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

How could the Fourth Elder dare to have any thoughts? He hurriedly said with gratitude.

Seeing this, Wang Liancheng nodded his head in satisfaction: "Very good, let's go back now!"

"Oh right, your nephew hasn't been found. Are you still going down?" Just as Wang Liancheng moved, he suddenly asked.

"No, no, no, that little bastard has committed a crime worthy of death. If he falls into the abyss, even if he is lucky enough to survive, he won't be able to get through the door of the Wang Family. Just let him fend for himself!" The Fourth Elder immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.

What a joke, he had to go down helplessly just now, but now that Wang Hao found him and no one was forcing him, wouldn't he get pushed down by some water in his brain?

As for Wang Tao, his nephew, he wished that he had already died.

It was with great difficulty that he managed to keep his life. Right now, he no longer dared to have any delusions and only planned to stay in the clan safe and sound until his son Wang Yi returned.

Only after Wang Yi had reached the Innate Realm, would he be able to have confidence and be able to erase the shame he had today.

It became a big piece of news for the Luoyang Town before noon. Those with sharp eyes saw Commander Wang carrying a young man, who should be Wang Hao of the Wang Family, the number one genius in the history of the Luoyang Town, back to the Wang Family.

They said that Wang Tao and the other thirteen people had teamed up together to kill Wang Hao, but not only did they not succeed, they had even lost their lives. Wang Hao was saved by the Wang family on his last breath, but the other thirteen people could not even find a single corpse.

Some guessed that they were all killed by Wang Hao, their corpses destroyed the evidence, and some people felt that even though Wang Hao was still young, he did not have that kind of talent, so other experts must have secretly saved him, and killed the thirteen people on the way.

There were also some who felt that the thirteen were not dead yet, or perhaps all of them were not dead yet.

The news spread like wildfire. All sorts of rumors spread, and very quickly, it became a topic of idle chatter among the people of Luoyang Town.

Some of the families were regretting their decision. Other than the Zhou and Zhao Families, the others were panicking, afraid that the Wang Family would come to take revenge on them.

Night fell. Luoyang Restaurant, VIP booth 1.

The two clan leaders of the Zhou and Zhao Families sat facing each other. Only the two of them could be considered to have met in secret.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think of Wang Hao?" Chief Zhao took a sip of his wine and went straight to the point.

"It's hard to guess, and he's even scarier than that Wang Yi. If he were to grow up, the structure of the Luoyang Town's three great families would really change." Patriarch Zhou said with melancholy.

"Then why not take this opportunity to ally with the many families and go to the Wang Family to demand an explanation from them. Let them hand Wang Hao over to pay with their lives!"

A trace of fierceness flashed across the eyes of Patriarch Zhao as he suggested.

However, Clan Head Zhou shook his head with a bitter smile, "It's difficult!" Brother Zhao, this is something that we cannot handle, even if Wang Hao killed Zhou Yao and the rest of the thirteen, it would still be justifiable.

"Is this matter let go just like that?" The geniuses of our families have died in vain? We just can't help but watch that brat Wang Hao grow up and then suppress us? " Patriarch Zhao asked unwillingly.

"Sigh, what else can we do? As for the secret, I'm afraid even the Wang Family will not give us the chance. If we are exposed, the Wang Family will report to the Tianhe City, and you and I will have to face the consequences! " The Zhou family head sighed.

The imperial law forbade it. Between the families under each county, no one was allowed to casually kill a young genius. Once the investigation was conducted, the entire family would be exterminated.

It was precisely this ban that had protected countless young geniuses for the past ten thousand years, allowing them to smoothly reach adulthood.

After reaching adulthood, true geniuses would emerge from the masses and join the Empire's official forces or sects to seek protection.

As for those above average geniuses, they could only pray for their own blessings. This was a world where the strong were respected. If he was not strong enough, he could only blame himself.

The survival of the fittest was a common law everywhere!
