Chapter 1584 - 1583 Losing Control
Seeing that his threats were useless, Left Protector couldn’t help but shout in panic, "Fan Yangxiu, you... you’re burning your bridges after crossing them? We agreed, we helped you take down the Innate Sect, we helped you kill these three Elders, and now what is this supposed to mean? A despicable, shameless person like you, what qualifies you to be the Sect Master of the Innate Sect?"
The crowd looked towards Fan Yangxiu, who wore a calm expression and declared loudly, "Indeed, we did agree. You helped me take down the Innate Sect and exact revenge. Then I would lead the Innate Sect to pledge allegiance to your Horizon’s End and work for you."
These words caused a commotion among the audience. Left Protector and the others were stupefied. They had initially thought Fan Yangxiu would deny or refuse to admit to this. They were all prepared, holding enough evidence in case the worst happened. As soon as Fan Yangxiu lost control, they’d use this evidence to ruin him, making it impossible for him to control the Innate Sect.
But to their surprise, when they were ready to drag Fan Yangxiu down, he admitted to it himself. This made them uneasy, as Fan Yangxiu’s admission suggested he was deeply confident. What was really going on here?
Under the puzzled and even vigilant gaze of the Innate Sect members, Fan Yangxiu continued: "However, the premise of our agreement was under your Horizon’s End’s control. My mentor, my wife, and my child were all under your Innate Sect experts’ control, and I had no choice but to agree with you."
Those words made the Innate Sect members furious, and they all glared angrily at the people from Horizon’s End. Although Fan Yangxiu agreed to Horizon’s End’s plan, the problem was that he was threatened, lacking the power to resist, so he couldn’t be blamed.
Instead, it was the people from Horizon’s End who, to control the Innate Sect, did something so shameless. They captured Fan Yangxiu’s relatives and used them to threaten him, forcing him to comply with Horizon’s End’s plan. This was simply deplorable.
Fan Yangxiu was the son of the previous Sect Master of the Innate Sect, whose prestige was extremely high there. Fan Yangxiu ending up in such a situation, being pressured by these Horizon’s End characters, naturally elicited sympathy from the Innate Sect members.
Even those who had been consistently supporting the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder had reduced animosity towards Fan Yangxiu at this moment. At least Fan Yangxiu wasn’t a puppet of Horizon’s End!
Moreover, with the three major Elders now deceased, these people still needed to find some cornerstone to rely on. What Fan Yangxiu was doing earned him public sympathy, and these people took the opportunity to immediately choose to support him, thus saving face.
For a moment, internal emotions in the Innate Sect surged, and everyone looked at the people from Horizon’s End with extreme hatred.
The Horizon’s End people found themselves surrounded, all turning pale with fear. Especially the Protectors in the center, realizing everything had slipped beyond their control.
