Chapter 646: No Way Of Backing Down
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I believe in Alif’s character,” Kipling opened his mouth and said. He was
speaking up for Alif.
Edward and the others were stunned before realizing the situation. If someone
asked them what happened, they knew what to say.
As expected, Fara questioned them next. Their reply was no different from
Alifs.
Wang Teng glanced at them and snorted.
Alif was delighted. He looked at Wang Teng proudly. I have the backing. What
can you do?
Wang Teng was speechless when he saw this despicable man feeling superior.
“Old man, are you blind? He has good character?
Kipling and Alifs face turned black.
“How dare you humiliate the Great Sage!” Once Alif had someone supporting
him, he became arrogant again. He shouted at Wang Teng
“Is your head getting itchy again? Wang Teng squinted. A dangerous glow
appeared in his eyes.
Alif immediately felt his head hurting again. He took two steps back
uncontrollably.
Kipling was disappointed. He had expected better from him. Coward, he’s just a
martial warrior from Country Xia. What’s there to be afraid of?
“Fara, are you still going to cover up for him? Kipling looked at Fara and Alais
and continued calmly, “Your Highness, this young man has killed two of Mount
Saint’s holy knights and caused great damage to the Cancer Palace. If we don’t
punish him, the members of the Holy Temple will be disheartened. As the
guardian and protector of the Holy Temple, shouldn’t Your Highness seek
justice for us?
His tone was calm, but his aura was overbearing and aggressive.
He was forcing the Goddess!
He threw out a righteous cause and forced Alais to punish Wang Teng, putting
her in a difficult position.
“Both parties have their own version of things. We can’t be certain of what
happened. Great Sage Kipling, why are you putting so much pressure on Her
Highness? Great Sage Fara’s expression turned grim. He stared intently at
Kipling
“If we wrongly accuse Wang Teng, our relationship with Country Xia will be
strained. Will you bear the consequences?
“In that case ” Kipling shouted with a strong sense of righteousness, “Tm
willing to bear the consequences for Mount Saint’s sake!”
His voice was loud, spreading out far and wide. All the martial warriors on
Mount Saint heard him.
Wang Teng had caused a huge commotion when he wreaked havoc in Mount
Saint. Many people already knew what happened here and were waiting to see
how the drama would play out.
Many people felt respect towards Kipling upon seeing him stepping up. Some
of them, who couldn’t see beyond the surface, developed resentment against
their Goddess.
Fara’s expression changed, and he glanced at Alais. At this point, he didn’t have
a better idea of what to do.
Kipling took the risk and was willing to bear all the consequences to punish
Wang Teng. His decision was resolute. He was doing this to earn a reputation!
f the Goddess sided with Wang Teng, the other members of the Holy Temple
would be bitterly disappointed
The same knife could cut the bread and fingers.
This sentence was applicable in this situation.
If the Goddess lost the trust of the people on Mount Saint, she wouldn’t be the
Goddess anymore.
Alais frowmed. She was in a dilemma and couldn’t make her decision.
Kipling’s eyes lit up. He waved his hand and said, “Take down this martial
warrior from Country Xia!
“Who dares!” An angry shout came from afar.
Many figures were flying over at high speed. This time, they came from the
small town below. A few moments later, the people arrived at the scene. Dan
Taixuan was among them. Not only that, Darwan and Valeria from Country
Boar were present too.
They landed behind Wang Teng and faced Kipling and his men.
Darwan laughed and opened his mouth. “How lively!”
Kipling frowned. Looking at Wang Teng’s new supporters, frustration crept up
his heart.
“Are you alright? Dan Taixuan sized up Wang Teng and asked.
Tm fine. They’re the ones who are not alright.”Wang Teng shook his head
calmly.
Dan Taixuan and the others turmed to look at Edward and the holy knights.
Bewilderment appeared in their eyes. “Holy knights!”
“Did you beat them up? Did you kill someone? Zhu Yushao whispered.
Wang Teng glanced at his companions. He felt grateful. They were willing to
come even at a time like this. This required much courage.
“This is justifiable self-defense,” he replied.
No reply.
Dan Taixuan, Zhu Yushao, and the others felt speechless when they heard this.
You killed someone and label it as justifiable self-defense. Did you mean
excessive self-defense?
This fellow created trouble wherever he went!
“What on earth happened here? Dan Taixuan asked through voice
transmission.
Wang Teng didn’t hide the truth, recounting what happened using voice
transmission.
Dan Taixuan was at a loss for words.
She knew that she couldn’t blame Wang Teng, but his specialization in creating
trouble made her furious.
She felt that troubles were attracted to Wang Teng. If he didn’t create a scene,
he couldn’t answer to his amazing talent.
Tl find you again when we’re back!” Dan Taixuan glared at him furiously.
Then, she turmed to Kipling and said in a cold voice, “Who wanted to catch our
martial warrior?
“Why can’t I catch a murderer on Mount Saint?” Kipling mocked.
“T have heard what happened. It’s not our fault,” Dan Taixuan replied calmly.
“Does your word count? The bodies of the two holy knights are still warm. You
must give us an answer,” Kipling replied angrily.
“What a joke. You were the ones who invited Wang Teng up the mountain, but
you stopped him intentionally too. You even wanted to kill him. However, your
skills were too weak, so your men got killed by him. Now, you’re asking us for
an answer? T’m already being very polite by not seeking an answer from you.
Dan Taixuan activated her sharp tongue skill and refuted without any mercy.
The holy knights’ faces turned black.
They were too weak?
This was the first time someone said that, but they couldn’t refute it either.
This was exasperating!
“This is all your fault. You invited him and yet hurt him. In the future, who will
dare to accept your invitation again? Darwan sniggered. “This reminds me of a
Chinese story… Oh right, the Hongmen Banquet!
Kipling almost vomited blood.
He had tried so hard to convict Wang Teng, but once these people came, they
overturned his verdict and regarded this major accident as a minor one.
He felt frustrated and furious when they talked about it so casually.
Especially when Country Boar interfered too. Offending Country Xia was
already a tough decision for him. He couldn’t promise that he could bear the
consequences if Country Boar was also added to the mix.
To put it lightly, this was a fight for pride between the martial warriors. But on
a larger scale, this was diplomacy.
If the higher authorities in Country Xia wanted to support Wang Teng, this
matter would be huge.
However, he had already spoken. How could he take his words back in front of
all the martial warriors on Mount Saint?
For a moment, Great Sage Kipling found no way of backing down. His
expression became hideous.
