Chapter 1046 - Rune Sequence
Countless spectators rose from their seats, eyes fixed on Liu Wuxie, eager to witness what kind of evidence he would produce.
Forcing Yuan Huaiguang to slap himself in public was an outcome no one believed the patriarch would ever agree to. After all, he represented one of the Four Great Clans. With Elder Shi Yuan already serving as a humiliating precedent, the Yuan Clan had learned not to fall for such traps so easily.
"Liu Wuxie, why are you still standing there? Can't provide any evidence?" voices from the crowd began to call out, urging him forward as he remained still, his expression unreadable.
Liu Wuxie finally raised his gaze and smiled.
"Patriarch Yuan, how about this? If I can't produce any evidence, I'll slap myself in front of the public and admit my mistake. But if I can, you will slap yourself and admit that you're an idiot. How does that sound?" Liu Wuxie asked, clearly enjoying the moment of slapping faces.
Liu Wuxie wasn't just enjoying the moment, but he was savoring it. This entire confrontation served a greater purpose. He had come to the commerce fair not just to compete but to make a statement: to elevate the name of the Heavenly Dao Society and humiliate the Three Great Clans, the Scarlet Dragon Cult, and the Profound Cloud Sect.
After all, the actual battle would begin once the fair was over. This was just the appetizer before the main event.
He wanted to seize this moment to strike a decisive blow, one that would show everyone the price of crossing him.
"Patriarch Yuan, what are you afraid of?" a disciple from the Liu Clan mocked loudly. "You were the one who started this, but now you're hesitating the moment someone throws a challenge back at you? You're disgracing the Four Great Clans. The Yuan Clan doesn't even deserve to stand among us."
"I agree with the Liu Clan," another voice joined in, this time from one of the neutral factions. "The Yuan Clan started this. There's no backing out now."
One by one, more voices chimed in from the crowd. The pressure surged like a rising tide.
