Chapter 1583: Chapter 1582: Who Allowed You to Kill?

After the two Great Elders were slain, everyone in Horizon’s End breathed a sigh of relief.

With these two elders dead, it indicates that the matter of the Innate Sect is effectively over. Next, they just need to bring Shen Yongnian and his people over, and then the Innate Sect will be completely in their grasp!

The Left Protector, holding the Great Elder’s corpse, turned and shouted, "The traitor Great Elder and Second Elder are dead. Anyone remaining, if you abandon resistance, Sect Master Fan will still forgive you!"

The fighting crowd suddenly stopped, everyone turned in shock, including those who supported Fan Yangxiu.

Although these people opposed the Great Elder and Second Elder, what they wanted was just to have Fan Yangxiu as Sect Master and for Fan Yangxiu to control the Innate Sect, without the intention to kill the Great Elder and Second Elder.

Now that the Great Elder and Second Elder have been killed, naturally, this shocks these people greatly.

As for the close followers of the Great Elder and Second Elder, they were even more dumbfounded, unable to imagine that the Great Elder and Second Elder would die like this.

Amidst everyone’s shock, Fan Yangxiu stood up angrily, shouting, "You... why did you kill those two?"

This shout puzzled many, especially the people from Horizon’s End, who looked at Fan Yangxiu in astonishment. Wasn’t it you who instructed them to be killed? Why say such a thing now?

The Left and Right Protectors of Horizon’s End wanted to speak, but suddenly noticed Fan Yangxiu discreetly making a gesture to them.

This gesture was the agreed signal for action beforehand, now clearly serving as a hint to them.

The two were surprised in their hearts. Is Fan Yangxiu hinting at some plan?

The two of them, being quite shrewd, looked at the reaction of the Innate Sect people and immediately understood that Fan Yangxiu was trying to win people’s loyalty at this opportunity. Otherwise, if people knew it was Fan Yangxiu who ordered the elders killed, Fan Yangxiu’s authority in the sect would diminish significantly.

Thus, the two quickly reacted, with the Left Protector hurriedly apologizing, "Sect Master Fan, this was an accident. They were obstinate and resisted completely, unwilling to surrender. We had no choice; originally, we intended only to severely injure them. Perhaps we acted too harshly..."

"I only asked you to capture them, not to kill them!" Fan Yangxiu said angrily. "Though they committed serious offenses, they were still the Great Elder and Second Elder of the Innate Sect. Whatever mistakes they made and what punishment they deserved should be decided in a joint trial by the Innate Sect. You killed them like this; this is practically declaring war on the Innate Sect!"

These words immediately received a chorus of support from the Innate Sect. Whether they belonged to Fan Yangxiu’s faction or the two elders’ faction, they felt Fan Yangxiu’s words were absolutely correct.

Even those who opposed the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder believed these three elders should be tried publicly and punished by the Innate Sect. Outsiders killing them was wrong and provocation against the Innate Sect!

Listening to the cries of the people on site, the Horizon’s End crowd felt something was wrong. Especially the Left and Right Protectors, who took on this task, thought Sect Master Fan should just reprimand them lightly and diffuse the matter, should he not?

Now what is going on? Fan Yangxiu is shouting that they’re declaring war on the Innate Sect. Instead of calming the issue, it further intensifies it. What does this mean?

"Sect Master Fan, we did it to resolve the Innate Sect’s matters without malice!" the Left Protector quickly said. "You grew up at Horizon’s End, married, and raised children here. We’ve seen it all; you know us well enough to trust we wouldn’t do such a thing, right?"

The Left Protector appeared to be trying to establish ties, but in fact, he was warning Fan Yangxiu: Your family is at Horizon’s End. If you play tricks, aren’t you afraid of them meeting their demise there?

Horizon’s End could control Fan Yangxiu by keeping his family there. Yet, unbeknownst to them, Fan Yangxiu’s family had already been taken away. Threatening Fan Yangxiu like this would only infuriate him!

Sure enough, hearing the Left Protector’s words, Fan Yangxiu instantly became furious, slammed the table, and stood up: "Indeed, I grew up at Horizon’s End. So I am acutely aware of how you’ve treated me, how you conduct business. You promised me you’d capture those three elders to let me interrogate and punish them myself, but what did you do? To control the Innate Sect completely, you killed all three elders! You acted with true ruthlessness! Though heinous, they are still Innate Sect elders. Killing them within our sect isn’t a mere joke or display of our sect’s lack of strength!"

Fan Yangxiu’s words instantly severed any apparent connection with Horizon’s End, pushing all responsibility onto them.

Of course, the shrewd ones would not be fooled by Fan Yangxiu’s words. But in reality, Fan Yangxiu didn’t intend for everyone to believe him; he only needed most of the Innate Sect people to believe him, which was sufficient.

Innate Sect’s people were furious, shouting angrily as they surrounded Horizon’s End’s people.

The Horizon’s End crowd panicked, especially the Left and Right Protectors, suddenly realizing the situation was completely out of control. Fan Yangxiu was not affected by their threats; in fact, he started taking action against them! What on earth is happening?

"Fan Yangxiu, what are you trying to do!" the Left Protector transmitted furiously, "Have you forgotten your master and wife and children are at Horizon’s End?"

Despite him, Fan Yangxiu glared disdainfully, coldly said, "Capture them, don’t let a single one escape!"

If previously, only sixty percent of the Innate Sect backed Fan Yangxiu, now, all members obeyed Fan Yangxiu’s command, encircling Horizon’s End’s people.

All three major elders of the Innate Sect were killed by Horizon’s End. There is no way the Innate Sect would let them run away like this.

No matter individuals’ attitudes towards the three elders, they remain Innate Sect’s major elders. Dying by outsiders’ hands is a slap to Innate Sect’s face!
