Chapter 3837: Reason

When they heard this, everyone in the ancestral hall gasped and someone exclaimed: “You mean to say that their portraits on the Bounty List were removed by them?”

“Heavens! Why did you go and provoke people like that? Didn’t you hear about how mysterious and powerful those people are? You actually still went to provoke them? No wonder they would attack our Sun family and kill five of our Sun family members overnight.”

“What a sin! Why did you have to go and provoke those people? They are people even your Immortal Sect avoids, and you would actually provoke them for the sake of a dead Peak Master and a dozen elite disciples whose cultivation had been abolished? You, you have really wasted your family training you since your childhood and sending you to the Immortal Sect at all costs. You have destroyed your own future and are seeking your own death!”

“It doesn’t matter if you die, but the most hateful thing is that you have brought trouble to our family clan! My son died because of you! Heaven is blind! Why didn’t they just kill you?”

Upon seeing the chaos within the ancestral hall, the Old Predecessor’s face darkened and he slammed his crutch into the ground: “Enough! Be quiet!”

The Old Predecessor’s voice contained coercion and fierceness. As soon as he spoke those words, no one dared to speak again. Everyone just stared at Sun Wei who was slumped on the ground.

As the Sun family’s Old Predecessor had been in seclusion for many years, he only knew that the newly appointed Eastern District City Lord had mysterious origins and extraordinary strength. He didn’t know about the group of people that Sun Wei spoke of from a few months ago. However, as he looked at everyone’s expressions, he didn’t say much and only looked at Sun Wei who was slumped on the ground and asked: “Since this happened a few months ago and they didn’t come looking for the Sun family, they probably didn’t know it was your doing. Then why did they target the Sun family this time? Have you done something recently that has caught their attention?”

Upon hearing the Old Predecessor’s words, Sun Wei felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. Everyone else had only noticed the minor details, but none of them had grasped the key points like the Old Predecessor did.

Yes, it was precisely because he had been causing trouble secretly recently and targeted those people. Maybe that was why he bhad caught their eye and attacked the Sun family this time. However, how could he tell them that? If he told them the truth, he was afraid that his death would come even quicker. “Don’t make me ask a second time!” The Sun family Old Predecessor shouted in a deep voice.

Sun Wei’s body trembled and he quickly said: “Old Predecessor, this is the situation. I thought that since he had only just been appointed as the Eastern District City Lord, I could use this opportunity to take him down and support our Sun family to take over and become the Eastern District City Lord. So, I did some things in secret, but before I could finish my plans, they took action.”

“Old Predecessor, no matter what, I did it for the good of the family clan. Old Predecessor, please don’t attack your own clan member just because they threatened you with one sentence. I, I am a descendent of the family clan and over the years, I have done so many things for the family clan. Even if there is no merit, there is still labour. Old Predecessor…”

“Enough!” The Old Predecessor shouted in a deep voice. He glanced at him with narrowed eyes and said: “I know what I am doing!”

“Come, take him to the dungeon! No one can see him without my order!”

“Yes.” Two guards came in from outside and pulled him up, then carried him outside.

Everyone couldn’t help but look at each other when they saw this.. An elder stepped forward and asked: “Old Predecessor, aren’t we going to kill him? This happened because of him, he is the one who caused calamity in our family clan and he deserves to die!”
