Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1219 - 46: After Hitting the Granddaughter, the Grandfather Arrives

Defeated——

Liu Xueyu had actually been defeated.

When the results were declared, Chen Qi from Fengdu thought his ears were deceiving him.

Soldiers from Fengdu rushed to retrieve Liu Xueyu.

However, upon witnessing Liu Xueyu's state, their expressions turned grim.

The unconscious Liu Xueyu bore severe injuries across her body. The most devastating blow was to her right hand, which had transformed into a Yama Fox Claw due to the Sky Fox Inheritance Power; a fearsome Shura's thorn had utterly obliterated it.

Liu Xueyu's right hand was gone.

"Fengdu has truly suffered a significant loss this time," the surrounding onlookers murmured, shaking their heads.

Among them were individuals relishing Liu Xueyu's misfortune—candidates for the Heavenly Fox Saintess title from other capitals.

If Liu Xueyu, with her beauty, prowess, and the backing of the elders, was a strong contender for the Heavenly Fox Saintess position before, it was now evident to all that with a ruined hand, she stood no chance.

With Liu Xueyu out of the running, no one else from Fengdu possessed the capability to claim the Heavenly Fox Saintess title.

For a mere advantage in a few private rooms, she overextended herself and had her right hand mangled by a low-tier half-beast; Liu Xueyu was undeniably the greatest fool in all the lands.

While ridiculing Liu Xueyu's folly, the other aspiring saintesses from various capitals cautiously turned their attention to Yun Sheng.

Earlier, they had shared Liu Xueyu's sentiment, never considering a low-tier half-beast a true competitor. Yet, the unfolding events suggested that true strength often lies concealed, and appearances can be deceiving. This enigmatic half-beast might just emerge as the dark horse in the race for the Heavenly Fox Saintess title.

"Incredible, truly astonishing," Hua Yanluo and Qin Yue felt as though they had swallowed flies, managing to force out the words with great difficulty.

Their gaze towards Yun Sheng shifted dramatically from initial disdain to disbelief, and finally, to outright fear.

This woman possessed formidable power.

They vividly recalled their encounters en route to Hu Capital, the hostile glares they had directed at Yun Sheng, and Hua Yanluo's particularly aggressive gestures.

Reflecting on those moments now sent shivers down their spines, making them understand why Cangdu's General Qian Lang had treated Yun Sheng with such profound respect.

It became clear that this woman had been intentionally placed within the escort detail by Cangdu Military Advisor He Lai.

"The match has concluded; please, innkeeper, announce the result," Yun Sheng stated, showing no elation despite defeating Liu Xueyu.

"Wait one moment!" Chen Qi from Fengdu, refusing to accept the outcome, stepped forward and pointed accusingly at Yun Sheng. "You dared to violate the rules, injuring Xueyu! We agreed before the match that it would be limited to sparring only!"

Liu Xueyu, leveraging her status as Elder Liu's granddaughter, had been the leading candidate in Fengdu.

Now, because of a dispute over a few private rooms, she was left a cripple.

Aware that Elder Liu of the Elder Council would hold them accountable, Chen Qi shifted all blame onto Yun Sheng.

"Absurd. Hundreds of eyes bore witness; it was Liu Xueyu who initiated the first strike, and I was merely defending myself. Or is a half-beast's life worth less than that of a beastman?" Yun Sheng’s eyes darkened as she fixed a cold glare on Chen Qi.

Although the Netherworld Ghost King had instructed Yun Sheng in the Demon God Transformation technique, this was her initial attempt at transforming her Magic Soul.

Faced with Liu Xueyu's vicious assault, Yun Sheng had shown restraint by not delivering a killing blow.

Chen Qi's irrational accusations grated on Yun Sheng's nerves.

Yun Sheng's retort served not only to question Chen Qi but also to address the hundreds of onlookers.

Many among them were half-beasts.

Years of discrimination and mistreatment by beastmen had fostered deep-seated resentment within them.

"She speaks the truth! We saw Liu Xueyu employ lethal techniques first."

"If your skills are insufficient, don't disgrace yourselves. Return to Fengdu!"

The half-beasts erupted in anger, their rebukes echoing through the hall.

Chen Qi's face contorted with fury, while Lu Yunshuang watched the scene unfold with cold indifference.

"Hmph, such a sharp-tongued girl."

Just as the Fengdu contingent found themselves cornered, a frigid voice cut through the air.

An elder, adorned in elegant robes and accompanied by several guards, made a dramatic entrance.

"Elder Liu, you've arrived! Excellent! You must seek justice for Xueyu; her hand..." Upon spotting the elder, Chen Qi surged forward as if he had found a rescuer.

Weeping, Chen Qi recounted the incident.

The presence of the Sky Fox Tribe's Elder Council caused the clamor among the half-beasts to subside.

Their previous expressions of support for the Cangdu group were replaced with looks of pity.

It was common knowledge that within Hu Capital, the Elder Council wielded the most authority, second only to the Clan Leader.

The day's unexpected turn of events had clearly alarmed the Elder Council, casting a grim shadow over the Cangdu group's future prospects in Hu Capital.

Elder Liu, Liu Xueyu's grandfather, astute in the political landscape of Hu Capital, had been informed of the confrontation between the Fengdu candidates, led by Liu Xueyu, and the three hopefuls from Cangdu.

Initially dismissing the reports, Elder Liu's fury ignited upon hearing of Liu Xueyu's defeat and subsequent maiming.

Witnessing his granddaughter's grievous injury, Elder Liu's rage intensified.

His vicious gaze swept across Yun Sheng, Hua Yanluo, and Qin Yue, ultimately fixing on the most impassive Yun Sheng.

"Let me make this clear, a lowly half-beast like you has the audacity to cause trouble in Hu Capital," Elder Liu sneered, his eyes fixated on Yun Sheng's fox ears and tail.

A low-class half-beast dared to injure his precious granddaughter.

With eyes blazing, he lunged forward.

The elders of the Sky Fox Elder Council were known for their formidable power.

Having just endured a fierce battle, Yun Sheng's Magic Power was somewhat diminished.

Realizing this, Yun Sheng prepared to summon the King of Ghost Evil.

"Wait, Elder Liu," just at that moment, a resonant voice echoed, accompanied by a figure who stepped between Yun Sheng and Elder Liu.

Someone intercepted Elder Liu's charging hand.

In Hu Capital, finding someone who dared to obstruct Elder Liu was remarkable.

A benevolent elder positioned himself between Yun Sheng and Elder Liu.

Upon seeing this elder, Elder Liu's expression contorted as if he had witnessed something utterly unbelievable.

"You... why are you here?"
