Shang Tang's imposing aura, without reservation, bore down on the people of Siberia.
"I've investigated the matter thoroughly. Do you have anything to say?"
Shang Tang spoke to Yekaterina with a cold voice.
Yekaterina said with a look of panic, "Ancestor Shang Tang, we Siberians are truly human. We have never harbored any thought of betraying humanity. How many of our sons have fallen in battle against the orcs?"
Yekaterina couldn't help but be flustered. If one were to speak of who had the worst reputation among the entire human race, the younger generation would undoubtedly be Lin Zhan and Zhang Haoming.
As for the older generation, it would definitely be Shang Tang and Yu Longyan.
Not for any other reason, but because these two old fellows were either murderers or people who did utterly unconscionable things.
And as for the two younger ones, there was no need to mention them; they were utterly depraved, deserving of a hundred executions.
Shang Tang looked at the people of Siberia and said, "I know that the men of Siberia are all commendable. They dare to fight the beasts on the battlefield. For this alone, they are all good. This is also why the ancestor didn't let Zhan'er act directly."
"But why did you conceal this information? Don't you know that Huaxia has mobilized nearly 20 million people to search for the spatial rift? Or do you think that once the War of Ten Thousand Races begins, Siberia alone can defend the spatial rift of the God Race?"
"What, this is a spatial rift of the God Race?"
"My heavens, how could this be?"
As soon as Shang Tang uttered the words "God Race," all the high-ranking officials of Siberia were in an uproar.
The entire human race knew that the God Race and the Demon Race were the two most powerful races among all the myriad races in the heavens and realms.
If it weren't for the long history of the Huaxia lineage of the human race, countless masters, and the formidable combat power of their ancestors, the human race would have long ago been exterminated by the God Race and the Demon Race.
"Furthermore, I sent Di Xin to investigate this matter. Why did the ancestor not come out to greet him? Or where did you take him?"
Lin Zhan suddenly understood and said to the young Taoist priest who was accepting red envelopes nearby, "Oh, damn it, brother-in-law, they didn't kill Ancestor Di Xin, did they? Why haven't I seen him for so long?"
The young Taoist priest was stunned, then continued to accept red envelopes:
"Big brother, are you confused? Ancestor Di Xin's longevity lamp in the ancestral court is still lit. He can't be gone. Even if Ancestor Di Xin were truly gone, wouldn't the old guys at home go crazy?"
Yekaterina quickly waved her hand and said, "Ancestor, Emperor Di Xin has nothing to do with us. It's... it's..."
Daji stood up and said, "Ancestor, the King is upstairs. This matter truly has nothing to do with them."
Then she turned to the two Qin Qiu men behind her and said, "Eighth brother, little brother, go and carry your brother-in-law down."
"Carry him down?"
Shang Tang and Lin Zhan, along with a few others, were stunned and exchanged bewildered glances.
Not long after, Shang Tang, who was covered in bandages, was carried down by the two men.
Shang Tang frowned, "How did he end up like this?"
Qingqiu Tianya stepped forward and said, "Ancestor Shang Tang, please calm your anger. It was I who didn't hold back and injured the son-in-law like this."
Shang Tang and the others looked at Qingqiu Tianya, utterly bewildered.
"Emperor Tianya, you are too polite. If Di Xin doesn't behave himself, you are an elder. How he is disciplined is not something our Great Shang will interfere with... Damn it."
As Shang Tang was speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He directly grabbed Di Xin by the collar and roared, "Did you do something to betray that girl Daji? How can you put the reputation of our Great Shang in such a position?"
Saying that, he threw Di Xin away and immediately followed up with a barrage of punches and kicks.
"You little scoundrel, don't you know that the bloodline of the ancient Huaxia tribes does not allow for mixed-race offspring!"
"Ancestor, I know, I didn't..." Before Di Xin could finish speaking, Shang Tang slapped him back.
"You know and you still dare to mess around? If you really have a little half-breed, do you think we should let this child live or not?"
"Do you really want our Great Shang ancestors to kill their own bloodline? You bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
Lin Zhan and the young Taoist priest, who were always eager to stir up trouble, saw this scene and knew it was going to be bad.
Lin Zhan quickly shouted outside, "Guards, the Executioner Guards, take control of the Siberian imperial family. If there is any resistance, execute them on the spot."
He then gave a signal to the four of Xuan Shang.
He then said to Yekaterina, "Empress predecessor, Lin Zhan boldly invites you to die. Do you accept?"
Xuan Qing and Xuan Hui stood on either side of Yekaterina, holding their great sabers, ready to kill her on the spot if she resisted.
Yekaterina looked at Lin Zhan, completely bewildered, and thought, "What did I do wrong? You're asking me to die, who did I offend?"
"Zhan'er, stop." Daji quickly stopped Lin Zhan and walked towards Shang Tang.
"Ancestor, don't hit him anymore. It's all a misunderstanding. The King did nothing to disgrace the reputation of Great Shang."
Qingqiu Tianya came to Lin Zhan's side and said with a smile,
"You are young, but you have quite the killing intent. I can also see that you deeply respect Daji from the bottom of your heart. If you ever need help in the future, you can come to Qingqiu for assistance."
Daji's brothers also stepped forward and said, "This kid is reliable. When Big Sister needs something, she's truly there for her. He's an emperor with deep reserves, and he's willing to strike down someone just like that. He's a truly ruthless person."
Lin Zhan chuckled and said, "Old ancestors, you praise me too much. Old Ancestor Grandmother treats me like her own blood, so of course, I have to seek justice for her. I'm not bragging, but the number of powerful individuals I've tricked to death is no less than 180, let alone 200. This one is no different."
Daji's younger brother patted Lin Zhan on the shoulder and said,
"We know all about your deeds, kid. You're a man, and you did a great job. I'm Qingqiu Mufeng, and these are my three elder brothers: Qingqiu Mucheng, Qingqiu Muxuan, and Qingqiu Mutian."
"If you need anything in the future, come to the Qingqiu tribe and find us brothers. On that small territory of Qingqiu, our words carry weight."
Lin Zhan cupped his hands and said, "Since we are so destined, let's become sworn brothers. Just then..."
"Good, your sister! There's nothing you wouldn't dare to do. You just swore brotherhood with Lieshan Yu, and now you're coming to mess with Mufeng and his brothers."
Shang Tang kicked Lin Zhan away and said, exasperatedly.
Then he turned to Qingqiu Mufeng and said,
"Are you a fool? Do you really want to become sworn brothers with him? What will your Big Sister do then? It's fine if it's with Lieshan Yu and his four brothers, as there's no blood relation. But girl Daji and Zhan'er are direct blood relatives. You need to be more careful."
Qingqiu Mufeng nodded with a look of lingering fear, then looked at Lin Zhan and then at the young Taoist priest who was smiling and accepting red envelopes.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "These two guys really don't do anything decent."
