Chapter 3091 — Dead Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After watching Elder Heiyi finish all this, the Grand Elder said, "It seems this man is from the Dongfang family. The scene of me killing him just now must have been transmitted back to his family as well! However, the fault does not lie with us. Heiyi, send word to the Dark Night Palace at once. Spread the news: people from the Dongfang family abducted our Dark Night Palace's Dark Phoenix bloodline inheritor with ill intent, and I killed him for it!"
"Yes, Grand Elder!" Elder Heiyi nodded. He too knew that killing a member of the Dongfang family was no small matter—after all, the Dongfang family was even more powerful than the Dark Night Palace. But if the Dark Night Palace had just cause and held the moral high ground, that would change everything.
The Dark Night Palace's Dark Phoenix bloodline inheritor was a matter of great importance to the entire ancient circles. If someone from the Dongfang family had seized and violated her, it would affect not only the interests of the Dark Night Palace but those of the entire ancient circles and the Five Luminaries Sect.
Once the news was out, the Grand Elder believed that no matter how powerful the Dongfang family was, they could only swallow their pride. After all, they could not afford to make enemies of the entire ancient circles.
Having received her orders, Elder Heiyi went to contact the Dark Night Palace. He understood the gravity of the situation. Although the Grand Elder had slain Dongfang Cha because he meant to harm the Dark Night Palace's inheritor, no one else knew that—outsiders were unaware. Therefore, the Dark Night Palace had to spread this news first. Once the other ancient sects learned of it, the Dark Night Palace would be safe.
After all, the Dark Night Palace's search for an inheritor benefited the entire ancient circles. Among the ancient sects, which top-tier late Heaven-rank expert did not wish to advance to the Heavenly Dao?
Yes, the Dongfang family was formidable and powerful, but you could not simply abduct and violate the Dark Night Palace's inheritor. If you truly did violate her, then killing you would not even be enough—wiping out your entire Dongfang family would not be excessive!
So as long as this news spread, no one would speak ill of the Dark Night Palace. Everyone would say that Dongfang Cha of the Dongfang family had brought it upon himself. This was precisely the goal the Grand Elder wished to achieve.
"Very well, Grand Elder. I expect it won't be long before the entire ancient circles knows that the Dark Night Palace's inheritor was nearly violated by Dongfang Cha of the Dongfang family, and that the Grand Elder killed Dongfang Cha to protect the inheritor." Elder Heiyi had not twisted the facts, because the car had been equipped with video and audio transmission systems. Although the Grand Elder had destroyed them afterward, the earlier audio and video could still have been sent to the Dongfang family.
If the situation proved true when the time came, so be it. But if it did not, would the Dongfang family let the matter rest? And if the news spread by the Dark Night Palace matched what they saw, then they could only accept the loss.
