Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 473: Misunderstanding

The light dissipated, revealing the figure within.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze turned towards this person.

One could see this person clad in a star-patterned robe, holding a black longbow in his left hand.

"Liu Qingcang?"

Jiang Buxiang recognized him at once.

His expression involuntarily turned severe, and he couldn’t help but step back.

More than twenty years ago, he was defeated by Liu Qingcang, and it was the latter who had blown off his arm. To this day, he still cast a shadow in his mind.

"What, Liu Qingcang?"

"The Arrow God of the past?"

"The star-patterned robe, yes, that’s him!"

"Arrow God has reappeared!"

Almost instantly, this space was thrown into a huge uproar.

The Arrow God of the past has actually returned?

Liu Qingcang coldly stared at Jiang Buxiang, and chillingly said, "Jiang Buxiang, it seems the lesson I taught you last time wasn’t enough, huh! Now you’ve grown bolder, daring to even think of killing a disciple of mine?"

"He is your disciple?"

Jiang Buxiang swallowed hard.

"What, you have a problem with that?"

Liu Qingcang said.

"No!"

Jiang Buxiang quickly waved his hand.

Although Ling Chen had a vendetta against him for killing his son, he understood that if Liu Qingcang made a move, not to mention taking revenge, even surviving would be extremely difficult!

Back then, when Liu Qingcang was only at the eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, he beat him, who was in the late ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, so badly that even his right arm was blown off.

After so many years without sight of him, Liu Qingcang’s strength was likely even more terrifying now.

Seeing their Family Head treating Liu Qingcang as if a mouse had met a cat, the Jiang Family people were all dumbfounded.

Even the Family Head didn’t dare to face Liu Qingcang directly.

Moreover, since Ling Chen is Liu Qingcang’s disciple, the vendetta they held against Ling Chen for slaughtering their Princely Heir, the five Elders, and other clan members today, isn’t that impossible to avenge now?

"It’s best if you have no objections!"

Liu Qingcang nodded his head and continued, "Alright, then let’s talk about the matter of you making a move against my disciple."

"Arrow God, he killed my son!"

Jiang Buxiang quickly said.

He had to take the moral high ground, otherwise, just for the act of attacking Ling Chen, Liu Qingcang would definitely kill him. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Is that so?"

Liu Qingcang slightly smiled, glanced around at the crowd, and said, "I just arrived and didn’t see it. Did anyone else see it?"

As he spoke, Liu Qingcang’s right hand revealed an arrow, which he casually placed on his black bow, seemingly toying with it idly.

Seeing Liu Qingcang’s actions, the surrounding Cultivators were so frightened that they hastily retreated, not daring to make a peep.

They had just witnessed Liu Qingcang’s methods, and even Jiang Buxiang was silent as a cicada in his presence.

How would they dare to get involved?

Wisdom lays in preserving oneself.

"We saw it."

Several Jiang Family Elders spoke up.

"Oh?"

Liu Qingcang nodded, raised the bow and arrow, and aimed it at one of the Elders.

Those few Elders were instantly so scared that they turned pale.

Especially the one being targeted.

They were nearly scared to the point of wetting themselves.

"My disciple killed your son!"

Liu Qingcang looked at Ling Chen and said, "Ling Chen, tell your master, why did you kill Jiang Buxiang’s son?"

"Master, I initially did not intend to kill Jiang Yi, but they insisted on stopping me, so I was forced to take action."

Ling Chen responded.

"They were stopping you from what?"

Liu Qingcang asked.

"From killing Jiang Wuyan!"

Ling Chen answered.

"Why did you kill Jiang Wuyan?"

Liu Qingcang asked again.

Ling Chen said, "During the tournament at the Eight Palaces, he tried to kill me. Now that my strength has greatly improved, naturally I want revenge."

"Why would Jiang Wuyan make a move against you then?"

Liu Qingcang continued.

"Because I killed Jiang Wusheng."

Ling Chen said.

"Then why did you kill Jiang Wusheng?"

Liu Qingcang asked again.

Ling Chen said, "Because it was during a match in the Eight Palaces tournament, at that time my strength was weaker, and while exchanging blows with Jiang Wusheng, I couldn’t control the force of my attack. Moreover, the rules of the tournament clearly stated that death was not off limits."

"I see."

Liu Qingcang nodded, he looked towards Jiang Buxiang and said, "According to what my disciple told me, in the tournament at the Eight Palaces, my disciple Ling Chen accidentally killed Jiang Wusheng while striving for a good result, which led your Jiang Family Elders to retaliate against Ling Chen.

But it seems that according to the rules of the tournament at the Eight Palaces, Ling Chen didn’t violate any rules!

Now, with Ling Chen’s strength greatly improved, he comes seeking revenge for the past. Your Jiang Family Young Master, for the sake of family honor, came out to stop Ling Chen. Yet, he did not anticipate that Ling Chen was stronger than him, which is why he was killed.

From this perspective, my disciple doesn’t seem to have done anything wrong!"

"Master, not only did Jiang Wuyan take action, but Academy Elder Ye Fan from the Arrow God’s Academic Palace also did, and I have killed him."

Ling Chen added.

"Oh?"

Liu Qingcang said, "So, you killed an Elder of the Arrow God’s Academic Palace and didn’t bear any criminal responsibility. This indicates that King Xia Jiuyou had no objections to your actions!"

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded and said, "The Crown Prince even rewarded me for it!"

As Liu Qingcang and his disciple Ling Chen reasoned together, eventually concluding that Ling Chen was not guilty, and that it was Jiang Yi’s own fault, all the onlookers were dumbfounded.

Liu Qingcang then turned his cold gaze to Jiang Buxiang and said, "Now, tell me, why did you make a move against my disciple?"

"Arrow God, this is just your disciple’s one-sided story. My son Wusheng died on the stage of the Eight Palaces tournament, and I cannot argue with that. However, Jiang Wuyan would absolutely not dare to attack a student from the Eight Great Academies!"

Jiang Buxiang hurriedly said.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I personally witnessed Jiang Wuyan attacking my disciple. His arm, like yours, was also blown off by me."

Liu Qingcang stated indifferently.

"What?"

"The Jiang Family Master’s arm was injured by the Arrow God?"

...

A wave of exclamations rose from the crowd.

The truth about Jiang Buxiang’s severed arm had always been the subject of various rumors.

It turns out it was the handiwork of the Arrow God.

No wonder Jiang Buxiang was so cautious in front of the Arrow God!

"What?"

Jiang Buxiang was shocked.

It was then that he remembered something Jiang Wuyan seemed to have mentioned to him.

However, he was too busy at the time and cast the matter aside.

But now, in order to quell the wrath of Liu Qingcang, he could only sacrifice Jiang Wuyan.

"Jiang Wuyan, come here to me!"

Jiang Buxiang bellowed.

"Family Head!"

Jiang Wuyan came over trembling.

"How dare you act against a student of the Eight Great Academies. According to the laws of the Great Xia, you should be put to death!"

Saying so, Jiang Buxiang struck and killed Jiang Wuyan.

Then he turned to Liu Qingcang and said, "Arrow God, I was misled by villains, which led me to act against Young Master Lingchen. It was all a misunderstanding, please forgive me!"

He then bowed deeply to Liu Qingcang.

"A misunderstanding?"

Liu Qingcang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Absolutely a misunderstanding!"

Jiang Buxiang said hastily.

The arrow that Liu Qingcang fired earlier showed him the extent of the former’s strength.

He was not a match for him.

Probably not a single person in the Jiang Family would be a match.

Even in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there were probably only a handful of people like King You who could deal with him.

In this world where strength reigned supreme, although his heart seethed with killing intent towards Ling Chen, he could only endure it, bearing the pain of losing his son.
