Chapter 795: Chapter 585: Princess Consort Zhang Yun Truly Has Exceptional Means

"Penalty Law Division, heed the order!"

As Zhang Siyuan’s words fell, an elder from the left side of the clan elders suddenly stood up and accepted the command with a fist salute.

"Hold on, Third Family Elder!"

As Third Clans Elder Zhang Jiang stood up, a low shout immediately came from the right side among the clan elders, catching everyone by surprise as no one expected Zhang Siyuan to issue such a command!

It was known that the right side was filled with people from the line of Princess Consort Zhang Yun, who, although not of the direct lineage, had always held the great power of handling all affairs within the family.

Zhang Siyuan, this Family Head, was only a successor of the direct lineage, nominally existing in name only.

Yet now, with Zhang Siyuan’s demeanor and the arrival of Uncle Fu from the Royal Palace, it seemed a change was impending for the Zhang Family.

"Does the Second Family Elder have something to say?"

Zhang Siyuan was waiting for this moment. He gestured with his right hand in the void, signaling Third Clans Elder Zhang Jiang to sit down first, then smilingly asked.

"Responding to the Family Head, issuing the Bounty Order without your permission indeed constitutes an overstepping crime, but according to our Zhang Family’s laws, this crime is not punishable by death. Am I right, Chief Zhang!"

Second Family Elder Zhang Li, a leading figure from the line of Zhang Yun, had held great authority and handled all affairs of the Zhang Family for many years, everything needing Zhang Li’s approval.

Previously, Zhang Siyuan had turned a blind eye, as Prince Wang Siyun’s stance was unclear and had not yet been definitively expressed.

However, a recent verbal decree from Uncle Fu had confirmed Wang Siyun’s position, including today’s presence of Uncle Fu to oversee how Zhang Siyuan would handle the internal affairs of the Zhang family!

If handled well, then Zhang Siyuan was still the Family Head of the Zhang Family, if not, Uncle Fu would naturally intervene, and then who the Zhang Family Head would be would depend on Wang Siyun’s mood.

"This crime indeed does not warrant death, but on top of the Bounty Order, the person targeted for killing is my descendant of the Zhang Family, Zhang Yao. Maiming one’s own clan members, however, is a capital offense."

It seemed that Zhang Jiang had anticipated Zhang Li would say something like this and immediately responded without hesitation.

After listening to Zhang Jiang’s explanation, Zhang Siyuan’s lips curled into a cold smile as he coldly said to Zhang Li.

"Does the Second Family Elder have any objection?"

Zhang Li’s expression turned gloomy and extremely unpleasant. Zhang Jiang cited a charge he could not refute, but the collateral line of the Zhang Family issued the Bounty Order naturally upon receiving Princess Consort Zhang Yun’s command, fearing that Zhang Yao would attack Great Heir Wang Hao.

Although the Royal Palace was full of experts and True Immortals were numerous, they couldn’t always accompany Wang Hao at all times.

In terms of assassination, no race is more fearsome than the Soul Body.

This unpredictable bomb, in Zhang Yun’s view, had to be eliminated.

And the reason the Zhang Family dared not act was the fear of confirming the charge of maiming a fellow clan member, even though Zhang Yao had already died once but was now half-revived with the coalescence of Snow Maiden’s Spirit Body.

The laws of the Zhang family were like mountains, unmovable and inviolable by anyone.

"Responding to the Family Head, the matter of the Bounty Order was indeed the intention of Royal Lady Zhang Biao; we were merely following orders!"

Having no other choice, Zhang Li had to invoke Princess Consort Zhang Yun, hoping to deter Zhang Siyuan.

Princess Consort Zhang Yun, having married into the Royal Palace, had neither qualifications nor the identity to interfere in the major or minor affairs of our Zhang family. I hope the Second Family Elder understands this; in the Zhang family, I, Zhang Siyuan, am the Family Head!"

Zhang Siyuan sneered inwardly; if Princess Consort Zhang Yun’s words were effective, Uncle Fu wouldn’t have been sent to represent Prince Wang Siyun at the Zhang family’s main hall!

"Zhang Siyuan, how dare you! Are you disrespecting the Princess Consort?"

Seventh Family Elder Zhang Shan bellowed furiously as he suddenly stood up, shattering the wooden table beside him with a palm strike and pointing at Zhang Siyuan with immense anger.

A glint of icy killing intent flashed in Zhang Siyuan’s eyes; this was exactly what he wanted, for someone to oppose him, giving him ample reason to act!

"Old Seven, sit down!"

Second Family Elder Zhang Li issued a low shout. The situation and atmosphere had changed today; before this, Zhang Siyuan would never have had such strong confidence!

"Haha, it seems in the eyes of Seventh Family Elder, I, Zhang Siyuan, am not the Family Head of this Zhang family, but Princess Consort Zhang Yun is!"

"So what if she is?"

"Shut up!"

Zhang Li’s face changed drastically; Zhang Siyuan was clearly setting a trap, letting Seventh Family Elder fall into it. With just that statement, according to the Zhang family’s laws, the Family Elder’s death was ensured!

"Old Seven is straightforward; he didn’t mean to offend the Family Head. I hope the Family Head..."

"Ah!"

Before Zhang Li could finish his speech, a sudden scream was heard from Seventh Family Elder. No one saw when Zhang Siyuan had vanished from his seat, appearing instantly in front of Seventh Family Elder, his fingers like hooks, fiercely clutching his neck!

His fingers suddenly exerted force, crushing Seventh Family Elder’s throat, a terrifying Spiritual Power burst forth, spreading out and causing his body to dissipate, turning into a pool of blood.

"Contempt for the Family Head, a grave disrespect, ought to be executed!"

Zhang Siyuan’s voice boomed like thunder, echoing continuously in the hall.

No one had anticipated that Zhang Siyuan would publicly execute a family elder of the Zhang Family on the spot.

Moreover, from the burst of power just now, it was apparent that Zhang Siyuan’s Realm had reached the celestial Immortal Peak Realm, and the Qilin Bloodline Power of the Zhang Family had fully awakened.

Otherwise, as a Mid Celestial Immortal, Seventh Family Elder wouldn’t have lacked even a bit of resistance.

He didn’t even have time to react!

"Father!"

"Uncle Seven!"

"Old Seven!"

After the death of Seventh Family Elder, several individuals from the line of Princess Consort Zhang Yun suddenly stood up, their Spiritual Power vibrating fiercely, immensely angry. Although they belonged to a collateral line and were backed by Zhang Yun, holding great power and usually dismissive of others within the family,

"What are you all doing? Trying to start a rebellion? Sit down!"
