Chapter 3551 - Those Who Speak Shall Be Slain
"Who said that?!" Qitian Xiao snapped. His growl shook the entire valley.
House Qingchuan had sided against the Three Exalted Houses, thanks to their burning grudge against House Qitian, so it was no surprise they would curse at them. However, the ones who criticized House Qitian weren’t from House Qingchuan, but the two million cultivators instead! All of them were subjects under the rule of the Three Exalted Houses. Anybody that sided with House Qingchuan could be branded traitorous!
"Who?!" House Qitian angrily turned and looked at the crowd behind them.
"It's him—Reverend Fengxuan!" someone reported in a panic. There were many people with different agendas in the mob, so they didn't have a united front.
"Reverend Fengxuan of House Fenglin?" Some people seemed to know the sacred house. It had a ninth-level eminent who was Reverend Fengxuan's elder brother, Eminent Fengying. They were a house of totemancers who admired House Suishen.
People parted to reveal a middle-aged man in green robes. In an instant, countless hostile glares from House Qitian fell on Reverend Fengxuan, who paled and sweated in fear. Even though what he’d said was something everyone had thought, he was being singled out. There was only one fate for someone who earned the ire of House Qitian.
"House Fenglin, is it?" Qitian Xiao turned to the crowd and waved his arms as he said, "To speak out on behalf of traitors is to be a traitor! As the valley lord, I sentence everyone in house Fenglin to death, effective immediately!"
The crowd immediately gasped.
"Wipe them out!" Qitian Xiao had been annoyed that he didn't have anyone to make an example out of, but someone had volunteered for the role just in time.
