Chapter 1587 - 1561: I Did Kill Someone

More than ten minutes later, General Zhuo led Yang Xiao and Xiao Qingliu to the Divine Hall.

The Divine Hall is the governing institution of Dwarf Star, a vast complex consisting of hundreds of houses and courtyards.

Today is the special day when Yang Xiao is conferred the title of Divine Hall Elder. The main hall of the Divine Hall has been specially decorated, and additional guards have been arranged outside.

Ying Tianmo, North Heavenly Demon, and several clan elders have already arrived, but Lei Tianmo has yet to appear.

Yang Xiao followed General Zhuo into the deliberation hall of the Divine Hall, where Ying Tianmo immediately approached, exchanged pleasantries, and introduced him to everyone:

"Come, let me introduce to you, this is the King of the Central Continent Empire, Yang Xiao. Despite his young age, Yang Xiao is already at the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm, ruling a kingdom of fifty million people, quite remarkable,

Come Yang Xiao, let me introduce you, this is the North Heavenly Demon,"

Yang Xiao immediately bowed and said:

"Greetings to North Heavenly Demon!"

North Heavenly Demon nodded, acknowledging the gesture.

"This is the Clan Leader of the Wuheng Clan,"

Yang Xiao immediately recalled the spiritual consciousness of Wu Dai in his mind and immediately bowed:

"Greetings to the Clan Leader!"

"This is the Clan Leader of the Ancient Dragon Clan,"

"Greetings to the Clan Leader!"

...

Ying Tianmo finished the introductions, and Yang Xiao exchanged brief pleasantries with everyone, establishing initial acquaintance.

Everyone had a good impression of Yang Xiao, seeing him as promising and humble.

The Clan Leader of the Blood Wolf Clan smiled and said:

"Yang Xiao, you're so young, are you married? I have a granddaughter with fair skin, attractive looks, long legs, and good cultivation, perhaps you should consider?"

Ying Tianmo immediately coughed lightly and smiled:

"Blood Wolf Clan Leader, Yang Xiao already has a wife, and she's right beside us."

Saying this, he pointed to Xiao Qingliu, standing with General Zhuo.

In the hall of elders within the Divine Hall, even General Zhuo didn't have the privilege to chat with the elders, so naturally, Xiao Qingliu could only stand aside.

Upon hearing Ying Tianmo's words, Yang Xiao and Xiao Qingliu exchanged glances.

Xiao Qingliu blushed deeply.

The Blood Wolf Clan Leader laughed heartily and said:

"A man should have three or four wives, it's very normal. Why only have one wife?"

Yang Xiao knew very well the intention of the Blood Wolf Clan Leader; actually, not only him, but several others also had the idea of forming an alliance through marriage with Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was on the verge of becoming the youngest elder in the history of the Divine Hall, and the Central Continent Empire would be the eleventh major clan in Dwarf Star. Yang Xiao was undoubtedly a significant investment.

Even Ying Tianmo was selecting a woman among his clan members, preparing for an alliance through marriage with Yang Xiao.

Being a primary wife wasn't important; as long as they were with Yang Xiao, had a child, both parties would have a blood relationship, essentially becoming one family.

Yang Xiao bowed to the Blood Wolf Clan Leader and said:

"Thank you, Clan Leader, for your kindness!"

Ying Tianmo complained:

"What's going on with Lei Tianmo, why hasn't he arrived yet? General Zhuo, please go to Lei Tianmo's residence and remind him, it was agreed upon yesterday, why is he so unpunctual?"

General Zhuo replied "Yes," and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Lei Tianmo's aged voice coming from outside the main hall.

"No need to rush me, General Zhuo, I have arrived."

Yang Xiao looked up and saw Lei Tianmo, tall and imposing in silver armor, striding into the main hall.

"Lei Tianmo, why are you late today?"

North Heavenly Demon complained.

Lei Tianmo entered the deliberation hall, glanced at everyone, and his gaze fell on Yang Xiao, speaking blandly:

"This must be the King of the Central Continent Empire, Yang Xiao?"

Yang Xiao immediately bowed and said:

"Yang Xiao pays respect to Lord Lei Tianmo!"

"Haha, I wouldn't dare."

Lei Tianmo chuckled coldly, walked to the round table in the hall, and sat down.

"My apologies for my tardiness today; it wasn't intentional. As perhaps everyone knows, yesterday afternoon, my grandson was killed on the street,

This grandson was my favorite, yet he fell victim to a murderous attack, leaving me grief-stricken, and causing my delay. I hope everyone understands."

Everyone immediately said:

"Condolences to Ying Tianmo!"

North Heavenly Demon asked:

"Ying Tianmo, have they caught the murderer?"

"We were busy all night yesterday, fortunately, today we found some clues, catching the murderer shouldn't be a problem."

As Lei Tianmo spoke, his gaze fell on Yang Xiao, a penetrating cold light flashing in his eyes.

Ying Tianmo said:

"Lei Tianmo, my condolences, the situation regarding your grandson is very regrettable for everyone, but we cannot let personal matters impede official duties. Today's meeting is very important; let's first conclude today's meeting, then all of us together will help find the murderer."

Lei Tianmo nodded, showing no objection.

Ying Tianmo then said:

"Alright, let's officially start today's meeting. The topic of today's meeting is regarding the addition of Yang Xiao as a Divine Hall Elder,

now, I propose that those who agree to add Yang Xiao as a Divine Hall Elder raise their hand."

"Hold on!"

Lei Tianmo suddenly shouted.

Everyone was shocked, looking at Lei Tianmo, unsure of his intentions.

"Lei Tianmo, what do you mean?"

Lei Tianmo stood up, looked at Yang Xiao coldly, and said:

"Yang Xiao, I ask you, was my grandson killed by you yesterday afternoon?"

"Buzz!"

Everyone inside the hall felt their minds buzzing, looking at Yang Xiao and Lei Tianmo in shock.

Yang Xiao killed Lei Tianmo's grandson? Is that possible?

"I did indeed kill a young man on the street yesterday. He was riding a red-haired monster, but I don't know if he was your grandson."

Yang Xiao knew, since Lei Tianmo raised this question, he must have the necessary evidence, otherwise he wouldn't ask directly.

There was no way to avoid it, so there's no point in hiding.

"Haha... Yang Xiao, impressive tactics. On the first day in Divine City, you killed my grandson. If you become a Divine Hall Elder, are you going to kill all of us too?"

Ying Tianmo immediately said:

"Lei Tianmo, don't be hasty; there must be some misunderstanding here,

Yang Xiao, what exactly happened?"

Yang Xiao bowed slightly to the people in the conference hall and said:

"It's quite simple. Yesterday, while I was strolling on the street, a young man riding a red-haired demon beast suddenly charged forward, colliding with several ordinary citizens,

The youth was wielding a whip dozens of meters long, arbitrarily striking pedestrians on the street, one strike aimed at me,

instinctively, I retaliated, pulling him off the beast, using an Ice Element Technique to freeze his red-haired demon beast mount,

The youth was furious and attempted to kill me, throwing dozens of Highly Poisonous Gall at me, resulting in the collateral damage of dozens of innocent lives,

Overcome by anger, I killed him,

I didn't know he was Lei Tianmo's grandson,

but even if I did know he was Lei Tianmo's grandson, I would still have killed him."
