2363: C2363 Stand-off

C2363 Stand-off

"Elder Blue, let's not talk about these formalities anymore. Is it true that General Sheng is here in your residence?" Someone shouted from below, they had already lost their patience after waiting for so long.

"Everyone is here for this matter. I thought something big happened!" Lan Yuan pretended to be surprised, and said: That's right, Clan Elder Sheng Ze is indeed back, and I was both surprised and happy that he suddenly came back, I originally wanted to tell you guys tomorrow, but who knew that you guys would hear the news today, Clan Elder Sheng Ze has not had a good rest yet.

Lan Yuan's words had completely removed him from this matter, as if Sheng Ze's matter had nothing to do with him. As he said this, Lan Yuan gave Lu Fen, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, a profound look, and couldn't help but shiver.

"It's actually real!"

"General Sheng isn't dead ?"

"This is great ?"

The group of elders started to cheer after hearing the news. Lan Yuan's face twisted a little when he saw their happy looks.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Everyone, calm down. Since you've all come, let's enter."

Lan Yuan looked at the guards beside him, and the guards then led the elders into the residence, all the way to the great hall.

Sheng Ze, who was seated at the head of the group, silently smiled as he watched the people who entered one after another.

"General Sheng, you're not dead ?"

"General Sheng, we are so happy!"

There were even a few elders whose eyes were filled with tears. Lan Yuan watched on silently from the side and remembered all of them.

Sheng Ze looked at these familiar faces and felt gratified. It seemed that these people had not forgotten him.

All the clan elders took their seats, knowing that Sheng Ze must have something to say when he return. Lan Yuan walked towards his seat, but Sheng Ze didn't have the slightest intention to give way, as his expression became ugly.

"Elder Sheng Ze, this is my seat now." He tried his best to speak in an amiable tone, but Sheng Ze didn't even look at him.

"Elder Blue has probably forgotten the rules. When did you get to sit in this seat?"

Lan Yuan's face alternated between green and green, this was a reminder of how lowly he was back then. Even he did not have the qualifications to sit at the bottom of this seat.

The elders below could feel the undercurrent flowing between Lan Yuan and the two of them. They looked at each other, not knowing what was happening between the two elders.

Lan Yuan knew that he couldn't go head to head with Sheng Ze right now. After all, the more modest he was, the better off he would be for him.

Therefore, Lan Yuan smiled indifferently, and purposely raised his voice for the people below to hear, "Sheng Ze actually wants to sit here, I'll sit below."

How could Sheng Ze not know of his intentions? However, he was at ease because after the Vermillion Bird died, when he went missing and the Vermillion Bird forbidden area was in chaos, Lan Yuan had used some underhanded methods to become the leader. On the other hand, he was the one who laid the foundation for the Vermillion Bird forbidden area.

Sheng Ze coughed and cleared his throat: "The reason I brought everyone here today is because I have something important to say. I hope that everyone will listen carefully, all of my words are true."

Lan Yuan coldly looked at him, his heart not moving at all. He didn't know what Sheng Ze had to say, and in his heart, he believed that no matter what he said, it would be useless, because it wasn't Sheng Ze and the Vermillion Bird who were talking about the world right now.

The current Lan Yuan didn't think at all that Sheng Ze already knew about the matter of him plotting against the Vermillion Bird. After all, the person that knew about him back then had already been silenced and thrown into the Withered Bone River.

Sheng Ze coldly looked at him, and said without a hurry: "I know that after being away for so many years, the Vermillion Bird forbidden zone has undergone a great change. You all have now treated Lan Yuan as your leader, but one of you all do know how he managed to climb up to this position."

When Lan Yuan heard him, he inexplicably panicked a little. He tried his best to stabilize his emotions and tell himself that it was impossible for Sheng Ze to know about it.

"What does General Sheng mean by this?" Lan Yuan stood up, pretending to be innocent and said.

Lan Yuan, I already know everything you've done. You set up the Vermillion Bird and caused her to die in Withered Bone River, and you even spread rumors that I died. Sheng Ze looked at him, and said each word clearly.

These words were like a bolt out of the blue, all the elders looked at Lan Yuan in disbelief.

"That's impossible. How could Elder Blue do such a thing?"2

"That year, it was clearly Lord Vermillion Bird's fault. She died because she acted alone."

Lan Yuan perspired all over from listening to the discussion of the elders, he stabilized his expression and calmly said: "I can't understand Elder Sheng Ze's words, I know that you are extremely dissatisfied with my leading, and you have been looking down on me, I know that, but you can't speak nonsense either, you just have to say those slander words!"

He did not expect Lan Yuan to still be trying to reason and pretend to be innocent at this point. Sheng Ze raged at his heart, and in a flash, he rushed to grab hold of his neck, "Scoundrel, you really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. I'll take you to Withered Bone River now to take a look, to see if you, a scoundrel, are lying."

Lan Yuan was unable to move his neck, he did not expect that Sheng Ze's strength had not regressed at all, and he knew that was not a match for him.

"Elder Sheng Ze, let go, let go quickly, if you have something to say, we'll talk about it later." The elders quickly advised Sheng Ze. They were completely unaware, this news was too shocking, and they did not know if they should believe it or not.

Lan Yuan pursed his lips and spoke with a voice that only Sheng Ze could hear: "No one will believe you, you are just a stray dog that is rushing to crawl back, do you think you are the General Sheng from back then!"

"You ?" Sheng Ze increased the strength in his hands, and almost twisted his throat to pieces.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the elders below rushed forward to block the path between the two, using an array to trap Sheng Ze's hand.

Sheng Ze, who was unable to contend with so many elders by himself, was momentarily trapped and unable to move.

"I don't know where Elder Sheng Ze heard these rumors, but he actually wanted to kill me. I have no ill intentions towards Elder Sheng Ze, and I know that he has a deep affection for Lord Vermillion Bird, so he must have suffered some sort of provocation before going crazy like this. It would be better for him to be locked up in his current state."

Sheng Ze shouted loudly, "Gouge, stop trying to deceive people with these fake words. If you are truly innocent, then follow me to the Withered Bone River!"

Lan Yuan ignored him and asked someone to drag Sheng Ze down. Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Fen gathered his courage and stood up to shout, "Wait Elder Blue, I have something to say!"

The elders looked at Lu Fen in shock. They didn't know why he suddenly stood up, but Lan Yuan also looked at him coldly. The threat in his eyes was extremely obvious.
