Compared to Jun Xinglan’s kneeling, his subsequent words sent the crowd’s minds reeling, leaving them stunned for a long time.
Supreme Master?
Jun Xinglan addressed Ye Kunlun as Supreme Master?!
Did that not mean Ye Kunlun was the master of the Supreme Alliance?
Ma Guotao, who had just been slapped by Jun Xinglan and was preparing to get up, heard this and thought he had misheard.
“Lord Jun must be mistaken.”
Ma Guotao got up from the ground. “Ye Kunlun is the young master of Wujianyu. How could he possibly be the Supreme Master of the Supreme Alliance?”
Ma Guotao believed Jun Xinglan had mistaken Ye Kunlun for someone else; Ye Kunlun absolutely could not be the Supreme Master!
If Ye Kunlun were the Supreme Master, he would surely die today.
Ma Guotao’s words pulled the crowd back from their shock, and they all looked at Jun Xinglan, who was kneeling, and Ye Kunlun, who was seated.
Nan Yutie, Sun Xuan, and the others dared not speak.
If Ye Kunlun was the Supreme Master, Jun Xinglan would certainly be in deep trouble!
If he had mistaken Ye Kunlun, then Ye Kunlun would have to face Jun Xinglan’s wrath!
Jun Xinglan also feared he had made a mistake. He raised his head to look at Ye Kunlun again and felt Ye Kunlun’s gaze, which made his soul tremble.
He knew he had not mistaken the person!
*Bang—*
Just as Jun Xinglan was about to speak, Ye Kunlun kicked him away.
*Cough, cough—*
Jun Xinglan fell to the ground in a sorry state, scrambling back before Ye Kunlun. “Your subordinate admits his guilt.”
“Admits his guilt?” Ye Kunlun gave a cold smile. “Jun Xinglan, you know what mistake you made, and you’re here admitting guilt?”
“Your subordinate has just offended the Supreme Master.” Jun Xinglan felt a burning pain in his chest; Ye Kunlun’s kick had nearly burst his heart.
Ye Kunlun snorted coldly and said angrily, “As far as I know, you colluded with Ma Guotao and directly confirmed his position as a branch alliance executive?”
Upon hearing this, Jun Xinglan shivered in fear and tried to explain, “Supreme Master, your subordinate does not know Ma Guotao at all…”
Ye Kunlun’s words confused Jun Xinglan. He didn’t know Ma Guotao, so how could he have colluded with him?
“You don’t know?” Ye Kunlun frowned.
Jun Xinglan flashed forward and brought Ma Guotao before Ye Kunlun. “You tell him, do I know you?”
Ma Guotao had indeed never met Jun Xinglan, but he had previously asked someone to smooth things over with Jun Xinglan. That person had guaranteed that he would secure the position of branch alliance executive.
Now, if it was confirmed that he did not know Jun Xinglan, his only path forward was death.
Even in death, he had to drag Jun Xinglan down with him, so he wouldn’t be alone on the road to the underworld.
“Lord Jun, what are you saying… I once sent you something through someone, have you forgotten?”
Ma Guotao directly implicated Jun Xinglan.
As he spoke, Ma Guotao knelt before Ye Kunlun, tears streaming down his face. “Supreme Master, your subordinate was momentarily confused. Your subordinate knows he was wrong. It was Feng Zhan… he told me to make things difficult for you at today’s ceremony.”
Ma Guotao then dragged Feng Zhan into it, attempting to absolve himself.
Feng Zhan’s face turned ashen; he wished he could shoot Ma Guotao on the spot.
They were in the same boat, and he never expected Ma Guotao to betray him so easily.
“Ma Guotao, you’re talking nonsense!”
Jun Xinglan was furious. He had never received anything from Ma Guotao.
“Ma Guotao, stop slandering me!”
Feng Zhan would never admit that he had instructed Ma Guotao to make things difficult for Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun’s status as Supreme Master was revealed, causing his complete defeat today and disrupting all his plans.
“Jun Xinglan, wait aside now!”
Ye Kunlun said to Jun Xinglan.
Jun Xinglan quickly responded, got up, and stood silently beside Ye Kunlun, not daring to breathe too loudly.
“Ma Guotao, what evidence do you have that Feng Zhan instructed you? If you can provide proof, I will spare your life today!”
Ye Kunlun looked indifferently at Ma Guotao, who was kneeling before him with a pathetic expression.
“Evidence…” Ma Guotao glanced at Feng Zhan and said to Ye Kunlun, “Sir, ten years ago, Feng Zhan had me send two disciples on a mission. Those two disciples can testify for me, but those two disciples left three years ago…”
To others, his words sounded like mere excuses, as it was impossible to find people who had left the branch alliance three years ago now.
“Ma Guotao, stop spouting nonsense!”
Feng Zhan’s expression changed, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
“Ten years ago?” Ye Kunlun narrowed his eyes, stared at Ma Guotao, and asked coldly, “Feng Zhan had two Grandmasters transferred from you for a mission?”
“Supreme Master, your subordinate speaks the truth.”
Ye Kunlun’s killing intent was too strong, making Ma Guotao dare not lie, only wanting to save his own life.
“Then do you know where those two Grandmasters went on their mission?” Ye Kunlun asked.
“Your subordinate later inquired, and it seemed they went to the northwest, near Kunlun Mountain…”
Ma Guotao replied without thinking.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kunlun’s killing intent surged like a tidal wave, his gaze coldly fixed on Feng Zhan.
Feng Zhan knew that escaping today would be difficult, but relying on Ma Guotao’s words to condemn him was still far from enough.
“Ye Kun, Alliance Leader Ye, I know nothing about what Ma Guotao is talking about!”
Feng Zhan would rather die than admit it.
“Do you know why I killed Zhou Lie?” Ye Kunlun stared at Feng Zhan expressionlessly. “Because he was involved in the events of ten years ago. Tell me what you know, and I will grant you a swift death, otherwise…”
Two beams of sharp light shot from Ye Kunlun’s eyes, making Feng Zhan’s soul tremble violently.
“Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!”
Feng Zhan felt a wave of dizziness, as if all the thoughts in his mind were about to pour out to Ye Kunlun.
Feng Zhan bit his tongue fiercely, instantly regaining his clarity.
“You, you, the dignified Supreme Master, would use such mental attack methods against me?” Feng Zhan’s anger flared.
“I am one of the three generals of the East Sea War Department. If you use mental attacks on me, are you trying to steal China’s secrets?”
Feng Zhan directly pinned a major accusation on Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun looked at Feng Zhan as if he were an idiot and said coldly, “Feng Zhan, you’re really stubborn. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”
“If you kill me, the millions of soldiers of the East Sea War Department will surely avenge me!”
Feng Zhan’s face showed a hint of fierceness.
“Is that so?” Ye Kunlun smiled contemptuously. “Life in this capital is far more boring than I imagined. It might be more interesting if you die.”
“Jun Xinglan, kill Feng Zhan!”
Ye Kunlun directly ordered Jun Xinglan, who was standing silently to the side.
“Ah, Supreme Master, Feng Zhan has a special status, you…”
Ye Kunlun glanced at Jun Xinglan sideways, his killing intent unconcealed.
Jun Xinglan shivered.
He knew that today, either Feng Zhan would die, or he would!
