Those that were stolen and destroyed were the inheritance of the Shi Family — how could they accept it?
Shi Moning pointed towards Feng Tianlan’s Ice Soul Sword and said, “There. That’s it. She broke the force field and destroyed the secret realm with that sword.”
The huge cat beside Feng Tianlan had been beating him up, therefore, he must now return the favor. He, Shi Moning, wasn’t someone who could simply be bullied.
Chen Xinlu’s eyes brightened up when she saw the Ice Soul Sword that was white as snow. She then said immediately, “Grand Elder, that Ice Soul Sword was mine. She took it away from me. Her cat also scratched me because of that.” She revealed the back of her hand that was still bloody as she was speaking.
Shi Yiqing frowned. “Lu’er…”
Chen Xinlu interrupted him nervously, “Brother Qing. I obtained this sword first. She took it away from me.”
Putting aside the fact that it was a legendary weapon, she liked it very much just by looking at its beautiful and sacred aura. Everything in the secret realm belonged to the Shi Family. She was going to be the future wife of the descendant of Shi Family, so of course that sword was hers. She didn’t say anything wrong.
The few elders that were standing guard looked towards the Ice Soul Sword in Feng Tianlan’s hand. The body of the sword was vaguely emitting white radiance. Those who were looking at it were left in awe. They were all weaponsmiths. They could tell that this was not an ordinary sword with just one look. It wasn’t an exaggeration to call it a legendary weapon at all.
It had been thousands of years since a legendary weapon was forged in Xuantian Continent. How could they let someone take it away now that a legendary weapon had appeared in the secret realm of Shi Family? Of course they must take it back and treat it like their family heirloom.
The grand elder put up a long face and ordered her in a deep and generous tone, “Miss, please hand the legendary item of our clan back to us. We won’t look into the fact that miss had infiltrated our secret realm any further.”
“Your clan’s item?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrow slightly and looked at the grand elder coldly.
“Miss Biao has said that she was the one who obtained it first, and you were the one who took it away from her. You’ve already committed a serious crime by infiltrating the secret realm. Destroying our secret realm is even more unforgivable. However, if you’re willing to return the legendary sword back to us, we’ll let bygones be bygones.”
Although the item was from their secret realm, it was currently in an outsider’s hand. If they were to snatch it by force, their reputation might be ruined. By using an approach of partially threatening and partially negotiating, the Shi Family wouldn’t suffer any disadvantage.
The secret realm could be rebuilt after it was destroyed. However, once the legendary weapon was gone, it would be gone forever.
“It’s true just because she said so?” Feng Tianlan glanced at Chen Xinlu with hints of murderous intent in her eyes. She used despicable means to keep her in the secret realm. If it wasn’t for the Ice Soul Sword, she would have missed a lot of important things.
These were her trigger points. Once someone had messed with them, that person must pay a price!
Chen Xinlu was frightened by Feng Tianlan’s stare. She then held Shi Yiqing’s arm as she straightened her body and distorted the truth with great confidence. “Brother Qing can be my witness. You snatched the legendary weapon from my hands last night and even scratched me, which was why I left you inside in a fit of rage.”
“Master Shi?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows and looked at Shi Yiqing.
“Erm…”
Before Shi Yiqing could finish what he was trying to say, the four elders looked at him and shouted in deep voices, “Yiqing.”
That was a legendary weapon. His statement would be the key to everything.
Under the threat of the four elders, Shi Yiqing had no choice. He looked at Feng Tianlan with guilt and said, “Lu’er is right.”
This legendary weapon was found in the secret realm of the Shi Family, therefore, it belonged to the Shi Family.
No matter what, he couldn’t ignore the truth and side with an outsider, because he would become the head of the family in the future. The whole family would be on his shoulders.
