Wu Shattered Star River

Kan Qiu's battle blade was seized, and his heart trembled. He glanced at the Dao Ancestor Realm Ninth Level, and he was shocked again. However, he reacted quickly. After releasing his grip, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Toad Ancestor! Betrayal? What betrayal?"

Toad Ancestor's gaze was cold as he stared at Kan Qiu. He casually tossed the battle blade in his hand aside and said coldly, "You still want to quibble? You secretly infiltrated Black Blood Mountain and killed a major criminal. What benefits did the Radiant Church give you? Or does the Kan Clan have some grievance against you? Why would you betray your clan!"

"Ah?"

A look of astonishment appeared in Kan Qiu's eyes. He hurriedly bowed again and said, "Toad Ancestor, I have not betrayed the clan. One of my grandsons was killed by Jiang Han. He was my favorite grandson. So, I wanted to take revenge on Jiang Han. How could I betray the clan? Please, Toad Ancestor, see clearly!"

"It's useless to tell me!"

Toad Ancestor said coldly, "Come with me to see the Clan King. Let's see if the Clan King believes your nonsense!"

After saying that, Toad Ancestor grabbed Kan Qiu's neck, and a powerful energy surged into Kan Qiu's neck. A trace of helplessness appeared on Kan Qiu's face. He glanced at Jiang Han, and then without any resistance, he was taken away by Toad Ancestor.

Jiang Han exchanged one last glance with Kan Qiu, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

He understood that Kan Qiu was definitely an informant for the Radiant Church, and he had deliberately come to kill him. Only by killing him could the Pei Clan King help him nurture his soul and revive him.

"What a pity!"

Jiang Han murmured. He hadn't expected that the Kan Clan would send a Dao Ancestor Realm Ninth Level expert to lurk here, and he hadn't sensed it at all.

Moreover, judging from the situation, Kan Qiu didn't know that Toad Ancestor was lurking here, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have dared to act rashly. Was this Toad Ancestor already lurking here in advance? Had the Kan Clan King set up the game early, deliberately engaging in entrapment, just waiting for the Radiant Church's experts? Or waiting for the Kan Clan's internal traitor to jump out?

"Alas…"

It was useless to say anything now. Jiang Han knew that he had missed the opportunity, and there might never be another chance in the future.

There was nothing he could do about it. With a Dao Ancestor Realm Ninth Level expert from the Kan Clan lurking here, it was useless even if ten Kan Qius came; there would be no chance to kill him.

On the other side, Kan Qiu was taken to the imperial palace in Dark Valley. The Kan Clan King and the Dao Ancestor Realm Ninth Level and Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level experts in the clan had all arrived.

Toad Ancestor threw Kan Qiu in the middle of the hall. He said expressionlessly, "Clan King, Kan Qiu just went down Black Blood Mountain to kill Jiang Han. I caught him on the spot and brought him back!"

"哗!"

A group of experts immediately erupted. Many experts immediately cursed at Kan Qiu, and some experts even wanted to kill Kan Qiu alive.

The Kan Clan King's face was gloomy as he looked at Kan Qiu and said, "Kan Qiu, what do you have to say?"

"Clan King, I am wronged!"

Kan Qiu knelt heavily on the ground and said, "I have not betrayed the clan. I just wanted to personally kill Jiang Han. My favorite grandson, Kan Shanyu, died at Jiang Han's hands. The clan knows about this. I just wanted to avenge my grandson. Clan King, please see clearly!"

"Uh…"

Many experts in the hall were stunned, and a few experts showed suspicion in their eyes.

The Kan Clan King looked at a Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level expert in charge of intelligence and said, "Is this true?"

The master of the intelligence division nodded slightly and said, "It is true!"

"This…"

Many experts in the hall were stunned again. Could it be that Kan Qiu was not a traitor and really just wanted to avenge his favorite grandson? This seemed justifiable?

Toad Ancestor asked again, "Revenge is understandable, but how do you explain forging the Clan King's decree?"

"That's right!"

A master who seemed to have a grudge against Kan Qiu snorted coldly and said, "Forging a false decree, based on this alone, you can be sentenced to the extermination of your nine generations of relatives!"

Kan Qiu sneered and said, "If we count nine generations of relatives, you are also within my nine generations. Should I kill you all together?"

"…"

Many experts were speechless, because if they counted, they were all within Kan Qiu's nine generations of relatives. If they were to exterminate nine generations, wouldn't they have to exterminate them all?

The Kan Clan King was silent. After a moment, he looked at Kan Qiu and said, "I'll give you two choices. First, let Ye An search your soul. If you have no problems and your soul is fine, then go to the front line to kill enemies and atone for your sins. If you have problems, I will exterminate three generations of your relatives! Second, I will imprison you in Black Blood Mountain for ten thousand years. If you don't go crazy, I will return your freedom to you. Choose for yourself!"

"Uh…"

Many experts were stunned again. Soul searching could easily cause problems with the soul. If problems were found, three generations of relatives would be exterminated. The second choice was not a good thing either. Black Blood Mountain was not a place for people to stay. Six or seven out of ten who entered went crazy.

Kan Qiu's face turned pale. He kowtowed to the Kan Clan King again and said, "Clan King, you must believe me. I really have not betrayed the clan. How much blood have I shed for the clan over the years, and how many meritorious deeds have I performed for the clan?"

A master who seemed to have a good relationship with Kan Qiu stood up and bowed, "Clan King, Kan Qiu has indeed performed many meritorious deeds over the years. If you say he betrayed the clan, I don't believe it."

Another master stood up and said, "Clan King, Kan Qiu has no reason to betray the clan. Even if he went to the Radiant Church, what could the Pei family give him? Isn't it just a master's position? Moreover, the clan has not suppressed him, and he holds a high position of power in the clan. I don't think he would betray!"

"Clan King…"

Several masters came out to plead for Kan Qiu, and a group of experts in the hall were somewhat uncertain. What these masters said made sense. Kan Qiu had no reason to betray the clan, and he had indeed performed many meritorious deeds. He went to kill Jiang Han to avenge his grandson, which was justifiable.

However, what these masters said did not move the Kan Clan King's compassion.

As a master had said before, daring to forge a royal decree was a capital crime. As the Kan Clan King, if he did not severely punish Kan Qiu, where would the Clan King's authority be? Could anyone forge a royal decree in the future?

The Kan Clan King was silent for a moment and said, "Stop talking. If you have no problems, let Ye An search your soul. If your soul has problems, I will guarantee your family's wealth and glory for generations to come! Of course… you can also choose to go to Black Blood Mountain to suppress it for ten thousand years!"

The hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Kan Qiu, waiting for his choice.

A look of entanglement appeared on Kan Qiu's face. He hesitated for a moment, and a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes as he said, "Since the Clan King doesn't believe me, there's no point in searching my soul. I don't want to become an idiot after the soul search. I am willing to go to Black Blood Mountain to suppress it for ten thousand years!"

The Kan Clan King waved his hand, and a group of experts retreated one after another. The Kan Clan King did not leave and sat quietly in the hall.

"咻!"

More than half an hour later, Toad Ancestor returned. The Kan Clan King looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"

Toad Ancestor pursed his lips and said, "He's most likely a traitor. It's too coincidental. The key is that Pei Tianfan and the others are still cooperating. If he really wanted to avenge his grandson, wouldn't it be better to suppress Jiang Han in Black Blood Mountain? Also… he's unwilling to have his soul searched!"

"Investigate!"

The Kan Clan King waved his hand and said, "Leave this matter to you. After you find out, exterminate three generations of his relatives!"
