284: C284 He Was the Owner of the Magic Tool

C284 He Was the Owner of the Magic Tool

Chu King naturally wouldn't easily send the Xiong family to the guillotine. After all, the attack this time had caused a storm in the city, and the matter wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Chu King wanted to dig deeper into the matter. Even if it involved someone very important, he wouldn't let it go so easily this time.

"This is the matter of Xiong family. It has nothing to do with other people. Your Majesty, just give the order to execute me!"

Patriarch Xiong didn't hesitate at all. He placed all the blame on himself. He just wanted Chu King to get rid of him alone.

Such an attitude made Chu King feel somewhat helpless. There was no magic that could make people speak the truth in this world. Now that Patriarch Xiong was determined to die, he couldn't say anything.

If Patriarch Xiong was sentenced to death, the storm in front of him would be settled, but the rest wouldn't be simple. Such a thing could happen a hundred times or even a thousand times if it happened once.

"Patriarch Xiong, the king will tell you the truth. I advise you to tell the truth. It wasn't easy for Xiong family to develop to this point. Do you want all of this to go to waste?"

At this time, Ye Tian spoke from the side, directly hitting Patriarch Xiong's sore spot, wanting him to tell him what he was hiding.

Every family head would treat their family's honor as their own life. Even the crazy Patriarch Xiong would do the same.

As long as they could find a loophole in this tiny place, they would have the chance to know everything!

"Bah, you, Ye Tian, are just a member of a lowly family. If it was before, you wouldn't even have the chance to see me. You are not qualified to interrogate me!"

Hearing Ye Tian's voice, Patriarch Xiong was very excited. He looked at Ye Tian like a fierce ghost and roared. He didn't seem to change his mind at all.

"If you want to kill me, hurry up and kill me. Don't say such useless words. The winner takes all. I never thought that I would have a good end!"

Patriarch Xiong was determined to die. He didn't say anything. In Chu King's eyes, Patriarch Xiong was trying to hide the truth behind his death.

However, in Ye Tian's opinion, this matter wasn't as complicated as he thought. Perhaps this matter was really the Xiong family's plan.

Although that was the case, Ye Tian still couldn't relax because there was something more important in this matter!

"Patriarch Xiong, even if you aren't lying right now, do you know the seriousness of the matter behind the Devil Artifact that you took out?"

"It doesn't matter if you die, but if the news of the Xiong family possessing the Devil Artifact is spread out, no one in the entire Cangyuan Continent will let you go. Your Xiong family will be doomed forever!"

Ye Tian became serious as well. He no longer talked about the Xiong family's sneak attack on Chu King. Instead, he talked about the Devil Artifact.

He wasn't lying. The matter regarding the Devil Artifact was still hated by many mighty warriors in the Cangyuan Continent.

If they knew that the Xiong family had the Devil Artifact, those mighty warriors who lived in seclusion would also show up and uproot the Xiong family. They wouldn't even spare a single bug.

Even if the Xiong family had some friendly relations with the Misty Sect, even if Misty Venerable was still alive, he wouldn't let the Xiong family go. He would definitely participate in the extermination of the evil.

"I think that the painstaking efforts of Patriarch Xiong at that time would become insignificant in front of true strength. In less than a year, the Xiong family wouldn't become history, but would be cursed by thousands of generations..."

Ye Tian explained the relationship between the two of them, causing Patriarch Xiong, who was eager to die, to break out in a cold sweat. He was no longer as excited as before.

"I don't know what the Devil Artifact is. Even the Xiong family doesn't know about it. This has nothing to do with the Xiong family!"

Patriarch Xiong was suddenly enlightened. He kept explaining the matter of the Xiong family and the Devil Artifact. From his expression, it could be seen that he really didn't know about this matter.

Patriarch Xiong only wanted to protect some of the remaining people of the Xiong family, but after hearing what Ye Tian said, even if Chu King didn't do anything, there would still be people who wanted to kill the Xiong family.

"This was given to the Xiong family by Qin Yueming back then. He said that it was left behind by the ancestors of the Qin family. We don't know what the Devil Artifact is!"

Patriarch Xiong told them everything that happened. The bell of the Xiong family was a gift from the Qin family.

When the patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Yueming, gifted the bell to them. He only told them that this bell was left behind by the ancestors of the Qin family. He gave it to the Xiong family as a gift just to form a good relationship with them.

Qin Yueming also said that the bell was very powerful, but he had briefly brought along the details of the bell, so Patriarch Xiong didn't ask too many questions.1

With this relationship, after the incident in the Xiong family, Patriarch Xiong had to seek the protection of the Qin family. However, facing the refusal of the Qin family, the Xiong family couldn't do anything about it.

At this point, the Xiong family knew that it would be impossible for him not to tell them about it!

Chu King narrowed his eyes after Patriarch Xiong finished speaking. He didn't interrupt because he knew some things about the Devil Artifact.

In the records left behind by the ancestors of the Hsiang family, they once described the power of the Devil Artifact and advised their descendants not to be curious cats.

However, in Chu King's generation, the matter of the Devil Artifact seemed to have become a legend. Apart from some impression in his heart, there was no other concept.

Furthermore, he did not guard against it. No one in the royal family had come into contact with the Devil Artifact, but it had attracted a wolf into the house and attracted the Qin family, who had a close relationship with the Devil Artifact!

"Push him away and take good care of him. Don't let anything happen to him. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach him. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

Chu King ordered the Imperial Guard. After Patriarch Xiong was dragged out, Chu King rubbed his forehead heavily.

Things were getting more and more intense. Chu King himself didn't know how exciting things would be in the future.

"Go, bring some men and get rid of the Xiong family. After all, Hsiang Yunli's mother has given birth to a descendant of the Hsiang family. She will leave her life behind and work in the Internal Affairs Prefecture. I don't need to say anything else about the rest..."

Chu King closed his eyes. Although he didn't say everything that he wanted to say, the old official had already understood what the king meant.

Even Ye Tian was secretly amazed by Chu King's vicious heart. In order to avoid future troubles, he didn't want to leave any members of the Xiong family who had nothing to do with this matter. Such a thought made even Ye Tian feel inferior to him.

"If I could do the same in my previous life, I wouldn't be like this today..."

Ye Tian also secretly sighed. At this moment, he heard Chu King speak again, "Summon West Suppressing King back. The Imperial Court is in an emergency and ordered him to bring three thousand elite soldiers back..."

The old official received the order again and left. Only Ye Tian and Chu King were left in the palace.

"Ye Hou, I'm afraid I have to give you the order this time. I wonder if you can accept it?"

Chu King immediately turned his head and said to Ye Tian. Although his tone was gentle, Ye Tian knew that such a question meant certain.

If he did not agree with Chu King's meaning. Chu King wouldn't do anything to him. He would only let the Ye family return to its former state, even worse than before.

Hsiang Yunjie was already a marquis, and Chu King would find a random reason to remove him. For a moment, a storm was brewing!

"Your Majesty, just say it. I am not the kind of person who does not distinguish between black and white."

Ye Tian immediately agreed, and only then did he see Chu King's expression change.

"This matter involves the Qin family. That son of mine, Yun Rang, was also the daughter of the Qin family. There is a wide range of connections between them. It is not convenient for me to personally handle this matter. I can only let Ye Hou handle some matters..."
