Chapter 2199: Adding Fuel to the Fire
"It’s over, everything is over!"
"I didn’t expect Li Hong and Li Ming to be killed by this person!"
"The Jiang Family is truly vicious. Despite treating them as allies, they turned against us in an instant with a butcher’s knife!"
The people of Wawu Village all harbored deep hatred for Xiao Zheng.
Especially for the Jiang Family, they were deeply loathed.
If the Jiang Family knew they were being blamed for Xiao Zheng’s actions, they would be utterly distraught.
However, at this moment, no one would defend the Jiang Family.
Even if someone did, the people of Wawu Village would definitely not believe it.
After killing Li Ming and the others, Xiao Zheng’s gaze shifted downward.
Feeling his gaze, everyone’s hearts tensed up. Although they hated Xiao Zheng, it didn’t stop them from fearing his power.
A few timid individuals were already trembling with fear.
Almost everyone’s eyes showed a trace of despair, and they all closed their eyes, ready to face death.
But after a while, they realized they were still alive.
When they opened their eyes incredulously, they were surprised to find Xiao Zheng’s figure had vanished from the void!
"Where did he go?"
"Why did he leave? Isn’t he planning to kill us to silence us?"
"He must have seen the elder going to report the news, and feared our Witch Clan’s strongmen would come here to support us, so he ran away early!"
"Hmph! That kid runs really fast!"
"He can escape for a while, but not forever! One day, I will use his blood to honor the fallen clansmen!"
The people of Wawu Village spoke angrily.
Their tone was filled with arrogance, as if they had driven Xiao Zheng away.
At this moment, Elder Li Wei returned.
Seeing him back, everyone eagerly asked, "Elder, how did it go? Did you inform the Great Witch about this?"
Li Wei nodded and said, "Rest assured, everyone, the Great Witch is aware, and he will soon meet with the Clan Leader to negotiate with the Jiang Family. The tribe won’t let us suffer, the Great Witch and the Clan Leader will definitely bring us justice!"
Hearing his words, a flush of excitement appeared on everyone’s faces.
A great upheaval was about to begin.
After leaving Wawu Village, Xiao Zheng immediately rushed to the next location. He did not intend to continue his actions within the Witch Clan but planned to go to the Jiang Family’s territory to stir up trouble.
Since he decided to provoke conflict between the two clans, he had to make sure it was done perfectly.
After a two-hour-long flight, Xiao Zheng finally arrived at a small town within the Jiang Family’s territory. The town had about three thousand residents, among whom there were twenty-eight who had surpassed the Martial Saint Realm!
Xiao Zheng then replicated his actions from Wawu Village, successfully killing those twenty-eight and making the Jiang Family suspect the Witch Clan!
After accomplishing this, he withdrew triumphantly.
Xiao Zheng temporarily hid, prepared to watch the drama unfold...
Within the Elf Clan’s territory.
The leaders of the five major clans had been staying with the Elf Clan for some time, to collectively research methods to break the barrier.
One day, during a regular meeting, a warrior from the Witch Clan knocked on the door.
After realizing it was his subordinate, the Witch Clan Leader Li Gang followed him outside. It took about one or two minutes before Li Gang returned, looking visibly frustrated.
Especially when he looked at the Human Clan Leader Jiang Yi, his gaze was filled with a hint of killing intent.
"What’s wrong with you? You went out and came back like a different person?" Old Elmer frowned slightly and couldn’t help but ask, "What did your subordinate tell you? Did something happen within the Witch Clan?"
"If something is wrong, just say it. We’re all willing to help." Jiang Yi spoke up.
Upon hearing these words, Li Gang’s expression turned even more hostile, and he coldly said, "How dare you pretend to be innocent here. I’ve long noticed you’ve been holding a grudge over that thousand-year-old ginseng!"
"To think you’re so narrow-minded that you’d secretly order the slaughter of my clansmen!"
Narrow-minded?
Slaughter the Witch Clan?
The four other individuals in the room exchanged glances and couldn’t help but frown.
Jiang Yi, in particular, felt aggrieved: "Li Gang, what nonsense are you talking about? I’ve already told you I don’t care about the ginseng, so stop using it as an excuse!"
"And what do you mean I secretly sent people to slaughter your clansmen?"
"I swear I have never done such a thing!"
"Haha, you have quite a thick skin, don’t you? Even when caught red-handed, you still deny it?" Li Gang squinted his eyes, releasing a cold glare, "Just recently, in Wawu Village under the Witch Clan’s jurisdiction, twenty-two individuals of Supreme Realm and above were massacred!"
"And the culprits were from your Jiang Family!"
What!
Old Elmer and the others visibly twitched, shock washing over their faces.
Even Jiang Yi found it hard to believe: "This is definitely someone’s attempt to frame us. I swear on the honor of the Jiang Family, I did not send anyone to harm your Witch Clan!"
"You didn’t, but it doesn’t mean your subordinates didn’t!" Li Gang sneered and said, "Jiang Yi, considering we’re both from Huaxia, I’ve always trusted you, but I never thought you’d stoop so low against your own allies!"
"I’m sorry, our Witch Clan chooses to withdraw from this alliance!"
With that, he prepared to leave in anger.
Seeing this, Old Elmer quickly got up and grabbed him: "Brother Li, you must stay calm! We’re so close to finding a way to break the barrier. At this critical moment, you cannot act impulsively!"
"I’m not acting on impulse, I’m very calm right now!" Li Gang gave him a sideways glance and coldly replied.
Jiang Yi, feeling anger rising, opened his mouth, seemingly ready to say something.
However, just then, someone rushed in, stumbling through the door.
Seeing who it was, Jiang Yi frowned and shouted, "Jiang Hong! Why are you panicking? Can’t you see we’re discussing important matters? Why are you barging in?"
Due to Li Gang’s sudden confrontational attitude, Jiang Yi was in a foul mood, and his tone was uncharacteristically harsh.
Jiang Hong shuddered with fear, then dropped to his knees!
