Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1584: Chapter 1583 Losing Control

Seeing that his threats were useless, Left Protector couldn’t help but shout in panic, ”Fan Yangxiu, you... you’re burning your bridges after crossing them? We agreed, we helped you take down the Innate Sect, we helped you kill these three Elders, and now what is this supposed to mean? A despicable, shameless person like you, what qualifies you to be the Sect Master of the Innate Sect?”

The crowd looked towards Fan Yangxiu, who wore a calm expression and declared loudly, ”Indeed, we did agree. You helped me take down the Innate Sect and exact revenge. Then I would lead the Innate Sect to pledge allegiance to your Horizon’s End and work for you.”

These words caused a commotion among the audience. Left Protector and the others were stupefied. They had initially thought Fan Yangxiu would deny or refuse to admit to this. They were all prepared, holding enough evidence in case the worst happened. As soon as Fan Yangxiu lost control, they’d use this evidence to ruin him, making it impossible for him to control the Innate Sect.

But to their surprise, when they were ready to drag Fan Yangxiu down, he admitted to it himself. This made them uneasy, as Fan Yangxiu’s admission suggested he was deeply confident. What was really going on here?

Under the puzzled and even vigilant gaze of the Innate Sect members, Fan Yangxiu continued: ”However, the premise of our agreement was under your Horizon’s End’s control. My mentor, my wife, and my child were all under your Innate Sect experts’ control, and I had no choice but to agree with you.”

Those words made the Innate Sect members furious, and they all glared angrily at the people from Horizon’s End. Although Fan Yangxiu agreed to Horizon’s End’s plan, the problem was that he was threatened, lacking the power to resist, so he couldn’t be blamed.

Instead, it was the people from Horizon’s End who, to control the Innate Sect, did something so shameless. They captured Fan Yangxiu’s relatives and used them to threaten him, forcing him to comply with Horizon’s End’s plan. This was simply deplorable.

Fan Yangxiu was the son of the previous Sect Master of the Innate Sect, whose prestige was extremely high there. Fan Yangxiu ending up in such a situation, being pressured by these Horizon’s End characters, naturally elicited sympathy from the Innate Sect members.

Even those who had been consistently supporting the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder had reduced animosity towards Fan Yangxiu at this moment. At least Fan Yangxiu wasn’t a puppet of Horizon’s End!

Moreover, with the three major Elders now deceased, these people still needed to find some cornerstone to rely on. What Fan Yangxiu was doing earned him public sympathy, and these people took the opportunity to immediately choose to support him, thus saving face.

For a moment, internal emotions in the Innate Sect surged, and everyone looked at the people from Horizon’s End with extreme hatred.

The Horizon’s End people found themselves surrounded, all turning pale with fear. Especially the Protectors in the center, realizing everything had slipped beyond their control.

”Fan Yangxiu, you... you are too despicable!” Right Protector cried angrily, ”When did Horizon’s End ever threaten you? It was... it was you who wished to reclaim the position of Sect Master, deliberately cooperating with us. We helped you out of respect for your father. You plotted to have us kill the three major Elders for your personal vendetta. You’ve been planning this all along, and now you want to absolve yourself? Let me tell you, it’s impossible!”

”Judgments of right and wrong lie in the hearts of the people!” Fan Yangxiu replied coldly, ”I did want to get rid of the three major Elders, but I would have done it through legitimate means, using our Innate Sect’s rules to punish them. What I said was for you to take them down and then hand them over to me to deal with. But what did you do? To prevent these three Elders from causing trouble and hindering Horizon’s End from fully controlling the Innate Sect, you deliberately killed them. Hmph, we in the Innate Sect aren’t fools. Do you really think these things you did could escape everyone’s eyes? Do you think that by making a false accusation, you can deceive everyone?”

The two Protectors were almost spitting blood; a moment ago, you clearly told us to kill these two Elders, but now you’re accusing us of making false charges. Has shamelessness become so rampant?

The problem is, they had no evidence to prove this!

Now Fan Yangxiu stands on the Innate Sect’s side, and its members all support him, completely believing what he says. As for their Horizon’s End members, they’ve been seen as enemies by the Innate Sect, making their words meaningless!

”Fan Yangxiu, do you know the consequences of what you are doing?” Left Protector asked through clenched teeth.

”Hahaha...” Fan Yangxiu laughed coldly, ”Of course I know. You’d kill my mentor, my wife, and my children to force me to comply, wouldn’t you? All this time, you’ve always been using such methods to threaten me, haven’t you? What other means could you lowlifes have?”

The crowd instantly erupted into chaos, everyone clamoring for the Horizon’s End people to immediately release Fan Yangxiu’s relatives. Otherwise, the Innate Sect would storm Horizon’s End, vowing never to rest until victory!

The two Protectors exchanged glances; they understood clearly that at this point, whatever they said would be pointless. In this situation, they could only resort to threatening Fan Yangxiu.

”Fan Yangxiu, since you know the consequences, you should behave!” Left Protector said coldly, ”Don’t let your relatives die because of a momentary desire to win an argument. You know how much your mentor has sacrificed for you over the years, and how important your wife and child are to you. Don’t you understand?”

Even at this point, these people continued to threaten Fan Yangxiu, naturally provoking the anger of the Innate Sect members, causing the uproar to intensify.

Yet Fan Yangxiu remained calm; he gestured for the crowd to quiet down and spoke coldly, ”It seems you at Horizon’s End are too confident. Do you think I would dare speak to you like this if I hadn’t rescued my relatives? At this point, do you still think it’s possible to use them to threaten me?”

The Horizon’s End people’s expressions changed, and Left Protector asked urgently, ”You... you rescued your relatives?”

”What else?” Fan Yangxiu sneered. ”They’re about to reach the Innate Sect now. It’s laughable that in such a vast Horizon’s End, you lost so many people, yet haven’t gotten a hint of it?”
