Chapter 2541 - 2542: Three Ancestors Take Action
However, the three patriarchs obviously enveloped Ye Luo and the others with the power of laws, with a clear intention of not letting them leave.
"Esteemed patriarchs, you should know for what reason I am here!" Princess Xiu stated directly.
The three patriarchs’ expressions instantly turned cold upon hearing Princess Xiu’s tone.
"For what reason? Could it be to repay the Moonwater Tribe for raising you all these years?" One of the patriarchs sneered, his tone containing a hint of sarcasm.
"Naturally, I intend to repay that. However, as I understand it, without my mother’s intervention, the Moonwater Tribe would have long fallen apart, swallowed by the Kunshan Tribe and other clans, and would not have today’s prosperity. Nonetheless, the token my mother left behind should be returned to me!" Shui Yuexiu said calmly, unfazed by the earlier patriarch’s tone.
"Token?" A patriarch let out a cold laugh, "If our Moonwater Tribe had not saved your mother back then, she would have perished. Hence, your earlier words are reversed. It is your mother who owes a debt to our Moonwater Tribe. As for any token, it’s merely a legend. When she left, she took away most of our resources, which you may not even be aware of!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Yuexiu laughed in anger at the three of them.
"The three of you are of such age, waiting for the next realm breakthrough. Twisting truth and speaking nonsense, are you not afraid of attracting the heart demon and having it devour your cultivation path?"
Immediately, the expressions of the three patriarchs changed drastically. Princess Xiu’s words were quite blunt. For cultivators, the higher their realm, the more they feared the heart demon. Her words could be seen as a curse towards the patriarchs.
If they truly lied, their mindset would indeed be damaged when breaking through realms, which explained their changed expressions.
"Such an ungrateful wretch, truly like your mother. No matter how good the Moonwater Tribe was to you, you never considered it your home, now even coming to curse us. You must not be allowed to leave today!" With that, a patriarch immediately struck at Princess Xiu with a palm.
However, Princess Xiu’s expression turned icy, "Stop your lofty words. Do you not know why I was injured back then? If I had awakened any later, wouldn’t you have sacrificed and refined the token by then? Though I was unconscious, I saw everything clearly!"
