Chapter 80: The Yang Family Is the Truth!

 

Seeing the Nalan clan personally stepping in, Xiao Bu and the others were instantly overjoyed.

The Nalan clan was not just a super family; they also controlled the Treasure Pavilion.

It could be said that in the Guanxuan Universe, apart from the Yang family, the Nalan clan was the true supreme power.

As Nalan Ying spoke, many top experts from the Treasure Pavilion suddenly appeared around them.

The Nalan clan and the Treasure Pavilion would always stand with the Yang family.

“Is whatever the Guanxuan Sword Master says absolutely right?”

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

When these words were spoken, everyone in the scene was shocked and turned to look at the speaker. Who would dare to be so defiant?

The speaker was An Yan!

An Yan showed no fear as he faced everyone directly. “When the Tianlong clan rebelled years ago, all the guilty parties were executed. According to Guanxuan’s divine law, guilt does not extend to innocent relatives. Moreover, this young lady is from the later generation of the Tianlong clan. When the incident occurred, she wasn’t even born yet. What crime has she committed? Not to mention Ye Tianming, who is merely her junior fellow disciple. Has the Guanxuan Sword Master ever said that when ancestors commit crimes, their descendants and their descendants’ friends are also guilty?”

His voice resonated like a great bell, clearly reaching the hearts of everyone present.

Hearing An Yan’s words, Nalan Ying’s brows immediately furrowed. He stared at An Yan and asked, “An Yan, are you speaking on behalf of the An family?”

He was trying to use his power to intimidate!

This tactic never failed.

An Yan stared directly at Nalan Ying. “Don’t try to threaten me with my family. Everyone here has heard my words clearly. I, An Yan, am no longer part of the An family. My words and actions have nothing to do with the An family. If you want to target someone, target me personally.”

“Count me in too!”

Fa Zhen also stepped forward, fearlessly looking at Nalan Ying and the others. “The Guanxuan Universe is governed by law. How can power override the law? Ye Tianming and his companion have done nothing wrong!”

In the distance, as Nan Ling Zhao was about to step forward, Nan Ling Xun, who had been watching her closely, quickly grabbed her. Nan Ling Xun stared at her intently. “Girl, I understand how you feel, but you should be clear about the current situation. The young master cannot lose; he is tied to the future of our Guanxuan Universe. At this critical moment, our Nan Ling family needs to prioritize the greater good.”

Nan Ling Zhao shook her head slightly. “Father, this is not fair.”

Nan Ling Xun’s eyes reddened. “Where in this world is there absolute fairness? Ye Tianming encountering these troubles can only be attributed to his fate!”

Nan Ling Zhao shook her head again. “Father, things shouldn’t be like this.”

“Girl!”

Nan Ling Xun’s voice grew hoarse. “Even if you don’t consider the greater good of the Guanxuan Universe, you should at least think about the Nan Ling family. If you step forward today to help Ye Tianming, you’ll be standing against the Yang family and Nalan Jia. Standing against these two families is equivalent to standing against the entire Guanxuan Universe. How will our Nan Ling family survive afterward?”

Nan Ling Zhao slowly closed her eyes.

She knew that if she stepped forward today, it would mean cutting off the Nan Ling clan from the Guanxuan Universe.

But…

Nan Ling Zhao opened her eyes and looked toward Ye Tianming in the distance. She said softly, “Father, the world shouldn’t be like this…”

As she spoke, she knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times to Nan Ling Xun. “Father, your daughter must be unfilial this time.”

After saying this, she rose and walked toward the distance, but at that moment, Nan Ling Xun and several other powerful members of the Nan Ling clan forcibly intervened, directly knocking Nan Ling Zhao unconscious.

Nan Ling Xun supported the unconscious Nan Ling Zhao and said softly, “Girl, father cannot let you be willful this time, not just for the Nan Ling family, but also for you…”

As he spoke, he had someone take Nan Ling Zhao away, while he led a group of Nan Ling clan experts to stand behind Nalan Ying and the others.

Taking sides!

In the Guanxuan Universe, no one dared not to side with the Yang family.

Of course, there were exceptions!

A woman suddenly stepped forward. She loudly declared, “Ye Tianming is certainly at fault.”

The speaker was Fang Qian, the granddaughter of Fang Xiao from the Fang family. Fang Qian slowly walked to the front of the crowd and stared directly at Nalan Ying and the others. “Ye Tianming’s greatest fault is that he is too weak. Besides that, he has committed no wrong!”

Seeing someone from the Fang family step forward, Xiao Bu and the others’ expressions immediately became even more unpleasant.

The Fang family was like a persistent adhesive plaster.

Xiao Bu hated the Fang family the most because if not for them, his Xiao family would have easily crushed Ye Tianming long ago. Why would they have to wait until now?

Of course, at this moment, his joy outweighed his anger because the Fang family’s stance this time was not against his Xiao family, but against the Yang family, Nalan Jia, and the entire Guanxuan Universe. This time, even Fang Yu couldn’t save the Fang family!

Fang Qian was not unaware of the stakes involved, but she showed no fear. She stared directly at Xiao Bu and the others with contempt. “Xiao Bu, your Xiao family’s ancestor was once considered a hero. How did his descendants turn out to be such worthless trash?”

“How dare you!”

Xiao Bu pointed angrily at Fang Qian. “You little girl, showing no respect, you…”

Fang Qian interrupted him directly. “Shut up. You’re not worthy of speaking to me.”

Xiao Bu was so angry he nearly coughed blood.

Fang Qian completely ignored Xiao Bu and turned to look at Nalan Ying in the distance. “Nalan Ying, how wise and brilliant was the Nalan Matriarch back then? How have her maternal clan’s descendants become people who only care about profit and not justice? How can you face the Nalan Matriarch with what you’re doing?”

Nalan Ying calmly looked at Fang Qian. “Are you trying to teach my Nalan clan how to conduct affairs?”

Fang Qian frowned slightly. “If you’re wrong, can’t I point it out?”

Nalan Ying stared intently at Fang Qian. Everyone had a headache dealing with the Fang family, not just the Xiao family.

Fang Qian looked around at the spectators. “All of you watching, search your conscience. Who is right and who is wrong in today’s matter? Don’t you know in your hearts? I know you’re all afraid—afraid of these family clans and sects, afraid of the Nalan clan, and even more afraid of the Yang family. But aren’t you afraid that one day this injustice will fall upon your own heads?”

Around them, the spectators remained silent.

By now, the cloud recording devices in Wan Prefecture had already been shut down by the Guanxuan Universe, so what was happening here couldn’t be transmitted outside.

Matters unfavorable to the Guanxuan Universe naturally couldn’t be allowed to spread.

Seeing that people still remained silent, Fang Qian sighed softly. “You may choose not to get involved, but I hope you won’t kick someone when they’re down and aid the tyrant.”

Around them, still no one dared to speak.

Not just them, even the family clans and sects didn’t dare to stand up against the Nalan clan and the Yang family.

On the other side, Gu Qi also wanted to step forward, but at that moment, an old man stopped him. It was Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu clan and Gu Qi’s father.

Gu Yuan stared intently at Gu Qi. “What are you trying to do?”

Gu Qi was filled with passion. “Father, Ye Tianming is my friend. Today I must stand up for him.”

“Friend my ass!”

Gu Yuan angrily said, “Do you want to get our entire Gu family killed?”

Gu Qi replied seriously, “Father, how could that happen? Wasn’t it because our Gu family’s ancestor stood on the side of truth that our Gu family has achieved its current success?”

“Fool!”

Gu Yuan glared at Gu Qi. “Did our Gu family’s ancestor stand on the side of truth? He stood with the Guanxuan Sword Master, with the Yang family. And in this universe, standing with the Yang family is equivalent to standing on the side of truth. The Yang family is the truth of the entire universe. Do you understand?”

Gu Qi: “……”
