Chapter 0738: Ziniya’s Decision
Upon hearing Ziniya’s question, Luo Ha quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, the Divine King, this Huang Liang, the third brother of the Yellow Dragons, used his strength to kill my son Luo Sai! We intended to capture him according to the rules of our Silver Fox clan and bring him before the tribunal for punishment, but Huang Liang came to stop us. He even launched a surprise attack using the power of this Bronze Bell, severely injuring me and Elder Aoben!”
According to Luo Ha, Huang Liang had killed his son Luo Sai by bullying the weak!
The earlier claim that he had killed Luo Sai without reason had now changed to one of bullying the weak!
Moreover, Huang Liang had seriously injured him and Aoben as a result of the surprise attack!
The people of the Silver Fox clan present remained silent, with no one speaking, thus acknowledging this “fact”!
After hearing Luo Ha’s words, Ziniya merely uttered a faint “oh,” then looked at Huang Liang before fixing her gaze on the Chaos Bell atop his head.
“Your Majesty, the Divine King, we suspect that this ancient bell might be a supreme treasure from the Primordial Era!” Luo Ha said, trying to ingratiate himself.
A supreme treasure from the Primordial Era was something even the most powerful Divine Kings would go mad for!
Yet, to Luo Ha’s and the other elders of the Silver Fox clan’s surprise, Ziniya only gave a faint “hm” in response and took no further action.
Luo Ha was stunned. He opened his mouth to say more but ultimately stayed silent.
Could it be that the Divine King already knew Huang Liang possessed this supreme treasure?! he wondered.
In fact, as Luo Ha suspected, Ziniya indeed already knew about Huang Liang possessing the Chaos Bell. Huang Liang was highly renowned in the Chaos Divine Realm, and although it was only a matter of the past two or three years, the Divine Kings of the Primordial Realm had all heard of his deeds.
However, the Divine Kings kept it a secret, so news of Huang Liang had not spread throughout the Primordial Realm, and few elders of the three thousand races there knew of him.
Thus, although Luo Ha and the others were unaware of Huang Liang’s existence, Ziniya was. Moreover, the messages sent back by Livya also mentioned Huang Liang, though not in much detail, so Ziniya still knew quite a bit about him.
“How ridiculous!” Huang Yi couldn’t help but say. “I’ve seen shameless people before, but I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you. How dare you claim to be a high-ranking elder of the Silver Fox clan while spouting lies! What, my third brother used his strength to kill your son Luo Sai? If that’s the case, why didn’t he use his strength to kill others instead of just your son?!”
Huang Yi kept pressing questions, leaving Luo Ha at a loss for words.
Lohar was mocked and insulted in front of everyone by Huang Yi, which filled him with anger and made his face turn red. However, since Goddess Ziniya was present, he dared not show his anger outright. Still, what Huang Yi said wasn’t entirely without reason. If Huang Liang killed Lohar’s son, Rossey, by relying on his strength, then why exactly was it Rossey and not someone else?! This was indeed puzzling! “My Goddess!” Huang Yi turned to Ziniya and said, “When my third brother and I were bidding for treasures in the Silver Fox tribe’s auction hall, we had a dispute with that Rossey over a particular treasure. Later, out of resentment that my brother bought that treasure, Rossey tried to ambush my brother and me, and that’s how my brother killed him!” As Huang Yi spoke, Lohar’s expression grew even darker. But in front of Ziniya, he dared not interrupt her, as doing so would imply he had something to hide. “As for you and that red-headed guy, you’re simply not strong enough. You were injured by my second brother in a fair fight—no ambush at all! You’re the ones who ambushed, right? It’s embarrassing even for me to think of it!” Huang Yi continued, pointing at Oben. Oben, severely injured and just waking up from unconsciousness after being treated, nearly fainted again upon hearing Huang Yi call him a red-headed guy. Lohar and the rest of the Silver Fox tribe also looked extremely upset. “Hehe, I heard from Livia before that you’re quite sharp-tongued. Now that I see it, I realize Livia wasn’t wrong,” Ziniya said to Huang Yi in a half-joking tone. Huang Yi was surprised and somewhat embarrassed. “Lohar, Oben, do you have anything else to say?” Ziniya turned to them. Lohar regained some composure and stepped forward respectfully, saying, “My Goddess, this girl is completely talking nonsense!” Huang Yi wasn’t expecting Lohar to not only deny it but also accuse her of nonsense, which filled her with anger. “She claims my son Rossey ambushed those two siblings over a treasure, but that’s impossible. My son is a supreme warrior, while those two siblings are both top-tier gods. How could my son Rossey possibly ambush them?!” Lohar continued. Huang Yi was stunned. What Lohar said wasn’t entirely without logic. Logically, Rossey wouldn’t ambush them unless he was an idiot.
Lo Ha said this and then added, “The members of the Silver Fox clan who were with my son Luo Sai at that time can all testify—whether it was my son Luo Sai who intercepted Huang Liang, or if it was Huang Liang who used his strength to kill my son. It will be clear once we ask them!”
Ziniya glanced at Lo Ha and the elders of the Silver Fox clan and said, “Oh, then where are the members of our clan who were with your son Luo Sai at that time? Bring them here.”
Hearing this, Lo Ha quickly agreed and ordered the members of the Silver Fox clan who had been with his son Luo Sai to come over.
“Report to the Divine King—was it Huang Liang who used his strength to kill my son, or were it you who followed my son Luo Sai to intercept Huang Liang and Huang Yi, causing Huang Liang to kill my son?!” Lo Ha asked after bringing those members of the Silver Fox clan over.
The members of the Silver Fox clan replied in trembling voices, “We report to the Divine King—that it was Huang Liang who used his strength to kill Lord Luo Sai!”
Over by the side, Huang Long sneered inwardly.
Lo Ha was very skillful in asking questions. Naturally, those members of the Silver Fox clan could never admit that they had followed Luo Sai to intercept Huang Liang and Huang Yi—doing so would violate the clan’s rules and carry the death penalty!
Hearing this, Lo Ha turned to look at Huang Yi and sneered, “Now everything is clear. All of that earlier was just you trying to cover up the truth for your third brother by talking nonsense. How bold of you to dare deceive the Divine King!”
Huang Yi was furious and pointed at Lo Ha, “You!”
Huang Liang was also full of anger. However, Huang Long remained silent, standing there calmly. He believed that Ziniya could tell whether this was true or false.
Still, it had to be said that Lo Ha was quite good at acting.
Huang Long sneered inwardly.
Of course, Huang Long stayed silent because he was waiting—for Ziniya to make a decision. He wanted to see whether Ziniya would side with Lo Ha and the others, on the side of the Silver Fox clan, or on the side of justice!
