Chapter 6107: Not Participating Anymore

Xiao Fan had entered the Ruins Burial Ground; although Wu Tongtian had not agreed to Xiao Fan's request…

…at this time, if anything were to happen to Yin Shenyue because of her connection to Xiao Fan, it would be inevitable for Xiao Fan to blame Wu Tongtian later.

Although the current Xiao Fan posed no threat to Wu Tongtian.

However, if possible, Wu Tongtian still wouldn't stand by and watch her die.

Of course.

Wu Tongtian himself was also deeply disgusted by what Young Master Gu Ling had done.

"Lord Wu, this matter is… it might be a misunderstanding." The Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan appeared and bowed to Wu Tongtian, cursing Young Master Gu Ling in his heart for being a piece of trash.

"Greetings, Lord Wu!" Young Master Gu Ling was startled. After snapping back to his senses, he immediately bowed to Wu Tongtian.

"Greetings, Lord Wu." Yin Shenyue leaned forward and bowed to Wu Tongtian.

"Hehehe… Yin Shenyue, tell me, what happened? I'll see justice done for you." Wu Tongtian spoke indifferently.

"He! It's him!" Yin Shenyue pointed at Young Master Gu Ling and said angrily, "He used Xiao Fan's name to trick me into coming here! He intended to do something indecent!"

"No… it's not like that, I…" Young Master Gu Ling panicked, his speech becoming hesitant and stuttering.

"Gu Ling, what exactly is going on? Explain yourself properly!" The Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan roared, his face turning green with rage.

"It's… it's her! She seduced me! It's her!" Young Master Gu Ling pointed at Yin Shenyue and spoke out viciously.

"Gu Ling! You dare to do it but don't have the guts to admit it?!" Yin Shenyue shouted in anger.

"Do it? What did I do? I didn't do anything!" Young Master Gu Ling retorted angrily.

"You, you, you… trash!" Yin Shenyue gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in frustration.

"Lord Wu, please see the truth! I am being framed! I didn't do anything!" Young Master Gu Ling cupped his fists and bowed to Wu Tongtian.

"Hehehe… whether you did something or not, I have a clear idea." Wu Tongtian sneered, looking down at Young Master Gu Ling with cold eyes.

Under Wu Tongtian's gaze, a chill ran down Young Master Gu Ling's spine.

"Lord Wu, this matter should be a misunderstanding… we will investigate it thoroughly later," the Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan said slowly.

"Gu Ling is the Young Lord of our Tianxu Ancient Clan. I believe in his character; he wouldn't do anything out of line."

"Yes! Yes! I wouldn't do anything out of line!" Young Master Gu Ling said urgently.

"Hehehe… naturally you would believe your own Tianxu Ancient Clan's Young Lord. Unfortunately, I do not." Wu Tongtian turned around and looked at the Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan calmly.

"This is a serious matter. Normally, it would be an internal affair between your ancient clans that we shouldn't interfere with. However, Yin Shenyue is different; she is now Xiao Fan's woman, and Xiao Fan is a disciple of Immortal King Ting Yue. Gu Ling's actions are equivalent to slapping Immortal King Ting Yue's face. I will inform Immortal King Ting Yue of this and let her decide." Wu Tongtian spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, the faces of both the Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan and Young Master Gu Ling paled.

Especially Young Master Gu Ling, who shuddered in fear.

If this matter reached Immortal King Ting Yue, his life would be in grave danger.

"Lord Wu, this matter… it doesn't need to be escalated this far, does it?!" the Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan asked weakly.

"Hehehe… it doesn't? I think it does." Wu Tongtian sneered.

"But… but…"

"There are no buts. I will report the truth to Immortal King Ting Yue," Wu Tongtian said calmly. "Immortal King Ting Yue loathes evil, and she values Xiao Fan highly. She will surely be enraged by this. When that time comes…"

Wu Tongtian did not finish his sentence; he looked deeply at the Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan.

The Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan froze for a moment and then sighed softly.

He understood what Wu Tongtian was implying.

Gu Ling was at fault here. If Immortal King Ting Yue used this as a pretext to cause trouble, the Tianxu Ancient Clan might face total annihilation.

Thinking of this, the Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan gritted his teeth hard.

"Lord Wu, let's not trouble Immortal King Ting Yue with this. Regarding the matter of the Emperor's Tomb… our Tianxu Ancient Clan is too weak, so perhaps… we will no longer participate." The Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, both Young Master Gu Ling and Yin Shenyue were stunned.

"Hehehe… are you serious?"

"Of course I am serious." The Ancestor of the Tianxu Ancient Clan nodded.

"Hehehe… in that case, perhaps it's for the best not to report this to Immortal King Ting Yue." Wu Tongtian smiled, his gaze falling on Yin Shenyue.

"Yin Shenyue, can we let this matter drop?"

"I'll… I'll listen to Lord Wu." Yin Shenyue was taken aback and nodded.

Although Yin Shenyue was furious and wanted Young Master Gu Ling to be severely punished…

…if the Xuanyin Ancient Clan were to step in, the most they could do would be to punish Young Master Gu Ling, and it might even lead to enmity with the Tianxu Ancient Clan.

Besides, because Wu Tongtian arrived in time, nothing had actually happened.
