King of Creation
Chapter 1725 - 1710: Mockery
"The facts are already clear now. Today, the Barbarian Spirit Hall set up the Barbarian Spirit Sacrificial Battle Formation, summoned the War Spirit, and clashed with the Great Priest Tup Menn, all because Tup Menn Changyin spoke without care in his anger.
He offended the Ancient God, War Spirit, and Inherited Divine Messenger revered by the Barbarian Spirit Hall, leading the Barbarian Spirit Hall to defend the dignity of their hall with blood!"
The Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang spoke slowly, observing the reactions of the priests all around while speaking.
"However, Tup Menn Changyin’s reckless words today had a cause. It wasn’t a deliberate insult to the dignity of the Barbarian Spirit Hall, but a confusion caused by the unclear truth of the martial demonstration between Ba’erhu and Ye Zhen, which was further misled by Ba’erlong!"
This statement from the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang surprised the ordinary priests of the Barbarian Spirit Hall.
Could it be that the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang intended to protect the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tup Menn Changyin?
However, Ye Zhen and Princess Changle did not think so at all.
Involving the top level of the Ancestor God Temple, Bai Xiang handled the matter with extreme caution.
Moreover, even Tup Menn Changyin’s expression did not improve at all, indicating his belief that Bai Xiang’s words were merely a way to save face for them, not an intention to protect him.
"But, Tup Menn Changyin, as a Power Priest of our Ancestor God Temple, listened to one-sided words, was misled, and nearly caused a great calamity due to his carelessness.
Therefore, I order the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tup Menn Changyin to apologize on the spot to the Ancient God War Spirit revered by the Barbarian Spirit Hall and to the Barbarian Spirit Hall’s Inherited Divine Messenger, Ye Zhen, as well as to the Hall Master of the Barbarian Spirit Hall.
Furthermore, after today’s matter is over, he shall be punished with closed-door reflection for a month!"
Upon hearing this, Tup Menn Changyin’s expression changed.
It wasn’t that the punishment was too light, but in his view, it was excessive!
In Tup Menn Changyin’s thoughts, he could apologize to the Ancient God War Spirit revered by the Barbarian Spirit Hall, and even to Princess Changle, the Hall Master, because these two entities are either deceased and enjoy a transcendent status.
Moreover, Princess Changle is the most privileged, powerful, and esteemed princess in the Royal Clan’s history.
Apologizing to these two parties, Tup Menn Changyin could accept.
But what does apologizing to Ye Zhen mean?
A mere third-rank Earl, a mere Left Chief Priest?
What virtue or ability makes him worthy of an apology?
Not to mention, among his grandchildren, even the lowest rank is a first-rank Earl.
Therefore, asking him, a Great Power Sacrifice, to apologize to Ye Zhen in front of so many people was absolutely impossible.
If he were to do so, it would be more than just losing face.
Unfortunately, the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang’s words were firm and with no room for negotiation, and Tup Menn Changyin turned his gaze to the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna.
Hoping Tongna could assist him. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
With so many years of interaction and cooperation, how could the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna not understand Tup Menn Changyin’s thoughts and intentions?
Thus, seeing Tup Menn Changyin’s pleading gaze, Tongna pondered briefly, preparing to speak and negotiate with the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang.
But just as Tongna was about to speak, the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang collected all the Shadow Capture Jade Slip evidence into his hand and prepared to leave.
Instantly leaving Tongna stunned on the spot.
After years of open and covert competition, they were too aware of each other’s intentions.
The Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang was clearly telling Tongna he had no intention or patience to negotiate or bargain with them.
If they were unwilling to accept his decision.
Then, it was simple; he could only escalate the matter and judge it by ancestral law at the Qiankun Hall of Great Zhou.
Seeing this attitude from the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang, Tongna promptly shut his mouth and shook his head slightly towards Tup Menn Changyin.
"Tup Menn Changyin, if you submit to my decision, execute it quickly. If you don’t submit, I’m not forcing you. Today, I shall carry the Great Sun Scepter to the Qiankun Hall and judge the matter by ancestral law!" The Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang was aggressive at this moment!
At this point, you can imagine how difficult Tup Menn Changyin’s face was.
Yet, despite this, he still had to conclude the matter.
He had no choice, as the other party held too much evidence. Bringing it up to the Qiankun Hall meant Tup Menn Changyin would lose more than just his face.
The next moment, Tup Menn Changyin slowly stepped forward, stopping a thousand steps in front of the Holy Spirit Peak revered by the Barbarian Spirit Hall, bowing to apologize.
"Ancient Gods, War Spirits, today this old man was misled, spoken carelessly. Please pardon me! Tomorrow this old man will prepare the Essence Blood Sacrifice as an offering of apology!"
Then, Tup Menn Changyin walked in front of Princess Changle, expressionless, and said, "Princess, this old man was misled, spoken carelessly, pray forgive me, Your Highness!"
"Apology is unnecessary, but I hope the Great Priest of Tup Menn pays more attention in the future. Some things and words can be done and said freely, while others should not be done and said recklessly!"
Princess Changle took advantage of the situation to admonish Tup Menn Changyin lightly, instantly making Tup Menn Changyin’s face turn livid, his old face feeling as if it was slapped soundly.
After apologizing to Princess Changle, Tup Menn Changyin paused for more than ten breaths before slowly turning to Ye Zhen.
Clearly, asking him to apologize to Ye Zhen, merely a Divine Envoy, was truly a blow to his pride.
"Ye... Inherited Divine Messenger, this old man spoke rashly, please forgive the old man!" Tup Menn Changyin said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he abruptly turned, his gaze passing over Ye Zhen’s cheeks like a blade, causing Ye Zhen discomfort, with a flicker of killing intent vanishing as quickly as it came.
"Tup Menn Great Priest, you should cool your temper with more cups of cold tea when you return, to prevent recklessness!"
Since Tup Menn Changyin made no attempt to hide his hostility, Ye Zhen showed no intention of giving him any face, mocking him directly.
Tup Menn Changyin’s steps halted, ready to retaliate, but paused and quickened his pace, swiftly leaving the Barbarian Spirit Hall.
Having repeatedly lowered his head to apologize left him furious, and he had no face to stay in the Barbarian Spirit Hall any longer.
"Don’t hurry, old man, lest you trip in your haste!" Ye Zhen’s voice rang out again, shaking the figure of Tup Menn Changyin who had just fled the hall, causing him a momentary shock.
But ultimately, he did not turn back, whiskers trembling as he swiftly disappeared from sight.
With the departure of the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tup Menn Changyin, the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang turned his gaze to the Ba’erlong and Ba’erhu brothers.
Now that Tup Menn Changyin had submitted and apologized, the next step was how to deal with these two narrow-minded, treacherous brothers!
"Ba’erlong, Ba’erhu, do you brothers know your crime?" The Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang shouted sternly!
