“You…, you are truly sticking to the wrong course…, it seems, you have benefited from other people’s promise!” Upon seeing Li Yong was still not correcting himself and still not releasing his achilles’ heel, Wei Wentong was even more furious: “Since it is like this, don’t blame me for placing righteousness before family…”

After speaking, a broadsword suddenly appeared in his hands.

“Not good! He wants to kill a witness to silence them…” Zhang Han was dumbfounded. He had never thought that Wei Wentong would be so daring. The three lords were sitting here, but he still dared to commit a crime in front of them. Could it be that such a vicious action would deceive the three lords’ eyes? It naturally wouldn’t.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han was also not in a hurry. If a person like Li Yong was killed, then killed. Had it not been for the purpose of knocking down Wei Wentong, Zhang Han also wouldn’t have given a way of survival to Li Yong. In any case, even if Li Yong died, Wei Wentong still wouldn’t be able to escape. He might as well let Li Yong die in Wei Wentong’s hands.

Li Heng, who was standing at one side, quietly closed her eyes. She had no thoughts to speak and she also could do nothing. Since this elder brother intended to betray Wei Wentong and herself to save his own life, even death would be too good for him. As far as Li Heng and Li Yong were concerned, they had similar characters. It was enough as long as oneself was fine.

As for those three lords, they despised Wei Wentong’s such a vicious action. But they also didn’t bother to stop him. Their thoughts were similar to Zhang Han’s. Since Wei Wentong had committed a crime in front of them, they would have enough excuse to make a fuss. They no longer needed to fear that Wei Wentong would escape this.

Soon, blood flowed, it was Li Yong’s blood. Speaking of it, even though he was a person with a black heart, his blood was extremely red. It spread out and dyed the floor red. Merely, not long after, the system took back Li Yong’s corpse and the blood also disappeared.

At this moment, only bloodstains that had not disappeared yet were the proof of Li Yong’s life.

“Hahahaha!” Wei Wentong laughed heartily, glanced at Li Heng, who had already reverted back to being a bewitchingly charming beauty, and nodded his satisfaction: “Lords, you all have also witnessed it. The evil traitor still didn’t realize his error and show repentance before dying. He absolutely insisted on slandering me. So, I have to make a difficult choice. I kill him for all the masses of Hibiscus County. I placed righteousness before family. I hope lords will put good words for me. This Wei will take a leave now!”

Wei Wentong didn’t care about the existence of the three lords. He took large strides, seemingly, wanting to immediately leave with Li Heng.

However, none of the people present here were vegetarians! One should know that, not mentioning other people, there were three S grade historical NPCs sitting here. How could Wei Wentong leave here as he pleased?

As a matter of fact, that burly type Lord Zhou was already standing at the door. If Wei Wentong wanted to leave, he had to ask Lord Zhou’s permission first. Speaking about it, Lord Zhou was a man who had experienced the battlefield. Among the people who knew him, only a few dared to not attach any importance to him like Wei Wentong.

Wei Wentong and Lord Zhou stood face to face. Anyone could see that Wei Wentong had a contemptuous look. The entire room was filled with gunpowder, seemingly, it might explode at any time.

Merely, Wei Wentong was not muddleheaded. He was not stupid enough to attack Lord Zhou. Not to mention whether he could kill the other party or not, the crime of attacking an official of Divine and Mighty Alliance in public was enough to make him eat a pot. At that time, even a god might not be able to save him.

After all, rashly using force against an official was the biggest taboo of the Divine and Mighty Alliance. Although it was also not allowed to defy the higher-ups in words, some people could still protect him. However, if he used force, then it would be absolutely impossible to save him. Otherwise, it would set a precedent and the higher-ups of the Divine and Mighty Alliance would be in chaos.

Wei Wentong sneered: “Lord Zhou, what is the meaning of this?”

Lord Zhou also sneered: “Lord Wei Wentong, what is the meaning of this?”

Wei Wentong laughed: “Ah! I just placed righteousness before family, is there any other meaning?” Wei Wentong had such a bright smile on his face that it could surprise other people. Indeed, there were not many people who were as shameless as Wei Wentong. Moreover, shameless people, for instance Lu Bu, generally wouldn’t have such evil thoughts.

Lord Zhou was about to flare up, but Lord Zhong seemed to have suddenly recalled something important. He immediately got up and asked: “Lord Wei Wentong, your broadsword seems to be quite extraordinary. Where did you get it? Can you tell it…” Between words, Lord Zhong’s attitude seemed to be very tactful.

Upon seeing this, Lord Wen’s expression changed. He pulled Lord Zhong’s sleeve a few times and they seemed to quietly exchange a few words.

Although Extinct God, who was standing at one side, didn’t know what happened between Lord Zhong and Lord Wen, he understood one thing! Wei Wentong might be very difficult to deal with…

Lord Wen was filled with indignation as he sat down in dejection. His expressionless face also twitched a few times. Lord Zhong then went forward and whispered something to Lord Zhou. Although Lord Zhou frowned, he unconsciously stepped aside.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Han also realized that the situation had changed. But he was powerless to reverse the situation. If someone asked who wanted to knock down Wei Wentong the most here, then Zhang Han and Lord Wen would definitely take the first and second place.

However, Lord Wen was already like that, how could Zhang Han not understand? He had no choice but to quietly watch Wei Wentong leaving.

At that time, after Wei Wentong had already left, a voice full of doubt resounded.

Dian Wei angrily denounced: “You all are officials, how can you all be so unreasonable and let that vicious criminal go just like that! It’s extremely disappointing…” Originally, Dian Wei was ready to attack when Wei Wentong was leaving. But he had an agreement with Extinct God, which forbade him from arbitrarily using force. And Extinct God didn’t give him any signal to attack just now, so he was very depressed.

Upon hearing him, Zhang Han couldn’t reply. He also wanted to capture Wei Wentong, but for an unknown reason, the three lords let Wei Wentong go, who was guilty of unpardonable crimes.

All eyes were immediately focused on Lord Wen. Everyone could see that Lord Wen wanted to bring down Wei Wentong the most, but he let the other party go. If he didn’t speak, the other two lords wouldn’t talk about it.

Fortunately, Lord Wen was also a good old man, who wanted to get along with everyone. He calmed down his mental state, and even under the dissuasion of other two people, he opened his mouth: “This matter! I’m truly powerless. If I had known earlier that Wei Wentong had such a terrifying behind-the-scenes backer, then I would have never let him kill Li Yong.”

Lord Wen sighed: “If Li Yong was still here, as long as he was willing to become a witness and clearly explain the accounts of himself and Wei Wentong, then coupled with the censure of us three, Wei Wentong would have been doomed. Unfortunately, Li Yong is dead, and the dead cannot testify. And although Wei Wentong killed a person in front of us, that person originally was a capital offender, moreover, he was also not an official of the Divine and Mighty Alliance. Even if such a person is killed, with the pretext of placing righteousness before family, moreover, the support of that behind-the-scenes backer, we cannot pin any serious crime on him.”

Lord Wen finally added angrily: “As for the behind-the-scenes backer, he is naturally the source of Ancient Burst Blade. It is a thing in the collection of a core official of the Divine and Mighty Alliance. We can’t say that person’s name. We can only tell you that that person is below one and above millions in the Divine and Mighty Alliance, no one can offend him…”
