Chapter 2699: Chapter 2719: Father-in-law, please make a decision for me!

"Bang!"

The precious teacup smashed onto the ground, shattering into pieces.

Zhong Minchun’s eyes widened, flashing with rage as if to swallow the sky, "Say that again!"

"Reporting to Madam, His Majesty replied that he’s heard of True Person Tai Xu, but has never heard of, nor seen, any Sunset Star Lord."

Zhong Minchun’s complexion turned ashen, "That means we were deceived. That person is not the Sunset Star Lord, and he’s certainly not a Quasi-Saint?"

The subordinate didn’t dare utter a word, standing properly below, waiting for her command.

Zhong Minchun paced back and forth, "That kid impersonated a Quasi-Saint, but how did he manage to rescue Qi Gongji from within the Sealing Array right under the noses of many Daluo Initial Immortals without anyone being the wiser?"

Zhong Minchun stopped her footsteps, frowning as she recalled the scene. Abruptly, her eyebrows shot up, "When that kid appeared, all the disciples of the Illusory Serpent Sect we captured were bowing their heads. Not one of them looked at him. Logically, he was everyone’s hope for survival. They should have been praying to him..."

Zhong Minchun suddenly looked up, "That kid—is he a disciple of the Illusory Serpent Sect?"

She was stunned by the conclusion she had deduced.

She had brought a whole group of peak Great Luo Xian, and yet, they were scared off by a disciple of the Illusory Serpent Sect?

Zhong Minchun’s whole body couldn’t help but tremble, nearly going mad as she shouted, "Bring out that kid’s Shadow Image, go inquire, and clarify his identity!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate carried out the order, and once again, the sound of things shattering to pieces echoed through the Main Hall.

Zhong Minchun did not have to wait long; the subordinate quickly returned, his expression complex, carefully tiptoeing around her.

Seeing the subordinate’s demeanor, Zhong Minchun’s heart skipped a beat.

"Did you find out? Who is that kid, is he a disciple of the Illusory Serpent Sect?"

The subordinate bowed his head, not daring to look at Zhong Minchun’s face, and replied softly, "He is a disciple of the Battle Hall of Myriad Immortal Hall, Lin Chen."

"Bang!"

The ground beneath Zhong Minchun’s feet instantly shattered, and countless precious furnishings around her turned into dust.

Zhong Minchun had thought of countless possible outcomes, but she had never imagined that the person would actually be one of the culprits responsible for her son’s death!

Previously, Jin Chengyuan’s old servant tried to capture Lin Chen but only caught his Avatar, which even Self-Destructed.

After the old servant returned, he was punished by a furious Zhong Minchun, beaten half to death, and thrown into prison. She personally led a group to seek revenge because of this error, yet not a single person at the scene recognized Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had killed her son and, right before her eyes, pretending to be a Quasi-Saint, scared her whole party into fleeing.

This wasn’t just a simple "humiliation" that could be described with two words.

If this matter were to spread, she would become the Cultivation World’s laughingstock!

She, a Daluo Initial Immortal, the daughter-in-law of the Quasi-Saint Barbarian King, leading a group of peak Great Luo Xian to avenge her son, was scared off by the true culprit behind her son’s death—a mere Lower Grade Daluo Initial Immortal—with just a few words.

The subordinate’s body trembled, not daring to utter another word.

If he had a choice, he wouldn’t have wanted to report this news at all, facing the enraged Zhong Minchun.

Zhong Minchun’s eyes turned red, and after several seconds, she angrily stamped her foot and flew into the air, heading towards the hiding place of the Barbarian King.

"The monk might have run, but the temple can’t run away! Since he’s a person from the Myriad Immortal Hall’s Battle Hall, I’ll demand him from Myriad Immortal Hall!"

With speed as fast as lightning, Zhong Minchun instantly arrived at the Barbarian King’s Cave Mansion and then knelt directly outside the Cave Mansion, wailing, "Father-in-law, please seek justice for me!"

"Come in."

The voice of the Barbarian King came through, heavy with authority, "Wipe away your tears. Stop your sobbing—how unsightly!"

Zhong Minchun hurriedly wiped away the few tears she had and quickly stepped into the Cave Mansion.

The Barbarian King had a towering figure, clad in a simple black robe, with no unnecessary adornments on his person. Yet when he looked around, his chilling authority made one’s heart tremble with an instinctual urge to kneel in submission.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Zhong Minchun recounted everything, "Yuan’er concealed his identity and was killed during the Blood Slaughter; he ought to bear the corresponding responsibility. Yet, Myriad Immortal Hall has gone too far. A Battle Hall disciple disrespected the Barbarian King’s Palace, humiliating me so. Father-in-law, please uphold justice for me!"

The Barbarian King looked somewhat surprised, "That kid who pretended to be the Sunset Star Lord is the Myriad Immortal Hall disciple who possesses the Avatar Ability and indirectly killed Yuan’er?"

"Yes!"

The Barbarian King contemplated, "Since Yuan’er actively participated in the Blood Slaughter, he was part of the Barbarian Tribe and should be held responsible for his own life and death, just like anyone else. The battlefield changes in an instant; life and death should be one’s own responsibility. Although I grieve his death, I cannot blame others for it because of this."

"As for the Illusory Serpent Sect, you’ve already troubled them. Since they have escaped one disaster and you’ve driven them to abandon their sect and flee, let the matter rest and pursue it no further. Regarding this kid, I will inquire with Myriad Immortal Hall right now to see what the matter is..."
