King of Creation Chapter 1725 - 1710: Mockery

"The facts are now crystal clear. Today, the Barbarian Spirit Hall enacted the Barbarian Spirit Sacrificial Battle Formation, summoned the War Spirit, and engaged in a conflict with the Great Priest Tup Menn. All of this transpired because Tup Menn Changyin spoke rashly in his anger.

He not only offended the Ancient God, the War Spirit, but also the Inherited Divine Messenger revered by the Barbarian Spirit Hall, compelling the Barbarian Spirit Hall to defend their honor with bloodshed!"

The Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang articulated these points deliberately, observing the reactions of the surrounding priests.

"However, the reckless words uttered by Tup Menn Changyin today stemmed from a specific cause. It was not a deliberate act to disrespect the Barbarian Spirit Hall’s dignity, but rather a result of confusion arising from the ambiguous outcome of the martial demonstration between Ba’erhu and Ye Zhen, further exacerbated by misinformation from Ba’erlong!"

This declaration by the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang notably surprised the rank-and-file priests of the Barbarian Spirit Hall.

Could it be that Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang intended to shield the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice, Tup Menn Changyin?

Yet, neither Ye Zhen nor Princess Changle perceived it this way.

Involving the highest echelons of the Ancestor God Temple, Bai Xiang navigated the situation with utmost prudence.

Furthermore, Tup Menn Changyin’s demeanor remained grim, indicating his conviction that Bai Xiang’s pronouncements were merely a facade to salvage their reputation, rather than a genuine effort to protect him.

"Nonetheless, Tup Menn Changyin, as a Power Priest of our Ancestor God Temple, lent credence to one-sided accounts, was misled, and nearly precipitated a grave disaster due to his carelessness.

Therefore, I decree that the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice, Tup Menn Changyin, shall offer a public apology on the spot to the Ancient God War Spirit revered by the Barbarian Spirit Hall, to the Barbarian Spirit Hall’s Inherited Divine Messenger, Ye Zhen, and to the Hall Master of the Barbarian Spirit Hall.

Moreover, following the conclusion of today’s proceedings, he will be subjected to a month of solitary reflection in closed-door cultivation!"

Upon hearing the verdict, Tup Menn Changyin’s expression shifted dramatically.

It wasn't that the punishment was overly severe, but in his estimation, it was excessive!

Tup Menn Changyin inwardly reasoned that he could offer apologies to the Ancient God War Spirit cherished by the Barbarian Spirit Hall, and even to Princess Changle, the Hall Master. These two individuals held positions of reverence, one deceased and possessing a transcendent status, the other an esteemed princess of unparalleled privilege and power in the history of the Royal Clan.

Apologizing to these two would be something Tup Menn Changyin could accept.

But what was the significance of apologizing to Ye Zhen?

A mere third-rank Earl, a mere Left Chief Priest?

By what merit or capability did Ye Zhen warrant an apology from him?

Furthermore, among his own grandchildren, even the least significant held the rank of a first-rank Earl.

Consequently, compelling him, a Great Power Sacrifice, to apologize to Ye Zhen publicly was utterly unthinkable.

To do so would mean an irreparable loss of face, far exceeding mere embarrassment.

Regrettably, the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang’s decree was firm, leaving no room for negotiation. Tup Menn Changyin then turned his gaze towards the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna.

Hoping Tongna might intercede on his behalf.

With years of shared history and cooperative endeavors, Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna readily understood Tup Menn Changyin’s unspoken thoughts and intentions.

Thus, upon noticing Tup Menn Changyin’s imploring glance, Tongna paused briefly, preparing to engage the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang in a discussion.

However, just as Tongna was about to speak, Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang swiftly gathered all the Shadow Capture Jade Slip evidence and made preparations to depart.

This abrupt departure left Tongna momentarily stunned.

Having engaged in years of both overt and covert rivalry, they were intimately familiar with each other's underlying motives.

Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang was unequivocally signaling to Tongna that he possessed neither the inclination nor the patience for protracted negotiations or bargaining.

If they were unwilling to abide by his decision.

Then, the course of action was straightforward: he would escalate the matter, referring it for judgment by ancestral law at the Qiankun Hall of Great Zhou.

Perceiving Bai Xiang’s resolute stance, Tongna promptly suppressed his intention to speak and offered a subtle shake of his head towards Tup Menn Changyin.

"Tup Menn Changyin, if you accept my ruling, execute it without delay. If you refuse, I shall not compel you. Today, I shall carry the Great Sun Scepter to the Qiankun Hall and have the matter judged according to ancestral law!" Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang declared with an aggressive tone!

At this juncture, one could only imagine the profound difficulty coloring Tup Menn Changyin’s expression.

Yet, despite his internal turmoil, he had to bring the matter to a close.

He possessed no alternative, as the opposing party held an overwhelming amount of incriminating evidence. Escalating the case to the Qiankun Hall would result in Tup Menn Changyin losing far more than just his dignity.

The next moment, Tup Menn Changyin slowly advanced, halting a thousand steps before the revered Holy Spirit Peak of the Barbarian Spirit Hall, offering a bow of apology.

don't forget these two narrow-minded, treacherous brothers!"The Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang shouted sternly!
