Chapter 165 Golden Chaos
However, Shi An did not answer Yun Jinhai's question. He simply withdrew his raised right hand, and the dazzling star field gradually dissipated, as if it had never existed.
Then, he looked at Yun Jinhai with a calm and profound gaze, and said indifferently, "Elder, judging from what you said to Yun Xi just now, you seem to be considering the Celestial Race's interests in everything you do. But judging from your actions, I get the feeling that you want to drive the Celestial Race to its doom."
"Um?"
Upon hearing Shi An's words, Yun Canghai, Yun Xi, and the other members of the Celestial Race who had come upon hearing the commotion changed their expressions slightly, and their gazes toward Yun Jinhai became more scrutinizing and suspicious.
Seeing his own family members looking at him like that, Yun Jinhai's face turned pale and then red, before he flew into a rage: "Boy, don't you dare slander me! Everything I've done is for the future of the Celestial Race!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Shi An smiled slightly, then slowly walked towards Yun Jinhai, each step seemingly resonating with everyone's heartstrings: "For the future of the Celestial Race? I think... not necessarily!"
"Since you know about the person behind me, why have you repeatedly tried to marry Yunxi to the Peng Clan? More importantly, I only exchanged a few words with you just now, and you tried to kill me, saying that the Celestial Race is about to go to the Upper Realm and there is nothing to fear."
"But you seem to have forgotten that you are still on Heavenly God Mountain, still in the desolate region. Under these circumstances, you still chose to attack me. If something were to happen to me here, do you think the person behind me would step in? And who would they direct their anger at?"
"Is that so, Patriarch Jin Luantian of the Peng Clan?"
As he spoke, Shi An suddenly turned his head and looked at another part of the sky: "Are you trying to use the person behind me to eliminate Heavenly God Mountain so that you will have one less competitor when you go to the Upper Realm? Or is it that all of this was done without your authorization, and was just this elder acting on his own initiative?"
Seeing that Shi An was able to discover Jin Luantian in the shadows, Yun Jinhai's expression changed drastically. But before he could say anything, a commotion suddenly came from the sky, followed by a majestic and deep voice that fell from the sky, shaking everyone's soul like thunder.
"What a perceptive young supreme being! He was able to sense my presence."
"However, young friend, you are wrong about something. First of all, my Peng clan has always acted with integrity and has never had such a despicable heart."
As the voice appeared, an elderly man in a golden robe, with a tall and imposing figure, slowly stepped out from the void. His golden robe fluttered without wind, and his eyes were like torches, staring directly at Shi An below.
The aura emanating from him put immense pressure on everyone present, even Yun Canghai had to treat him with seriousness.
It was none other than Jin Luantian, the patriarch of the Peng clan.
"Furthermore, Brother Jin Hai is an elder of the Celestial Race; how could I, a member of the Peng Clan, possibly order him around?"
Jin Luantian's appearance instantly froze the already tense atmosphere to an extreme.
Yun Canghai frowned; he hadn't expected Jin Luantian to come in person.
"Brother Luantian, now that you're here, why are you hiding in the shadows?"
Yun Canghai asked in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.
Jin Luantian smiled slightly, his figure swayed gently in the air, and he arrived in front of everyone, standing face to face with Yun Canghai: "Please don't be offended, Brother Canghai. I originally came here to discuss important matters with you in private, and to protect my good-for-nothing grandson. I really didn't expect this to happen."
After speaking, he turned to look at Shi An, his gaze calm: "Young friend, the strength you just displayed is indeed worthy of the name of a young supreme. But regarding your doubts about me, I, Jin Luantian, can swear on the Great Dao that my Peng Clan has never had the intention of using someone else to kill me."
"As for what Brother Jin Hai did, I really don't know."
After Jin Luantian finished speaking, although the atmosphere in the reception room did not immediately ease, everyone could feel the sincerity and weight in his words.
After all, the fact that the other party, as the leader of a clan, could swear an oath on the Great Dao at this moment was enough to demonstrate his stance and determination.
Even Yun Canghai's expression softened slightly, because based on his understanding of Jin Luantian, since the other party had already made such a statement, then this matter was most likely, as Jin Luantian said, Yun Jinhai's personal behavior.
However, precisely because of this, Yun Canghai's disappointment and anger towards Yun Jinhai only increased.
His second brother really valued his maternal clan too much.
Seeing this, Shi An didn't press the matter further. Instead, he turned to look at Yun Xi and then said to Yun Jinhai, "If I were to act in the past, I would have killed you without saying a word since you attacked me without warning."
"But considering that you are Yunxi's elder, I will let you off this time. If there is a next time, even if you are Yunxi's elder, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Faced with Shi An's condescending tone, Yun Jinhai's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty, but in the end he could only grit his teeth and nod.
Because he knew that even if he was extremely unwilling, he wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand against his opponent with his strength, and continuing to entangle himself would only be futile.
After a long while, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then turned to Yun Canghai, cupping his hands and saying, "Elder brother, I was reckless today, please punish me."
Yun Canghai looked at Yun Jinhai with a complicated expression, but out of the brotherhood they had shared over the years, he couldn't bear it in the end. He just sighed softly and said, "Jinhai, we have been brothers for many years. I know your heart for the clan, but you must not act too impulsively."
"I will let today's matter go for now, but if you do such things again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes, thank you very much, elder brother!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jinhai's face paled slightly, but he could only bow in agreement.
Finally, he gave Shi An a deep look before silently retreating to the back of the crowd.
With Yun Jinhai gone, the matter was temporarily put to rest. Yun Canghai did not dwell on it any further, but turned to Jin Luantian and said, "Brother Luantian, since you and Yun Teng are both here, let's formally discuss the marriage alliance between our two clans."
As he spoke, Yun Canghai glanced at Yun Xi and Shi An, and said, "As you can see, my little Xi has already married this young friend."
"Therefore, the matter of the marriage alliance may need to be reconsidered."
Yun Canghai's words were filled with unwavering determination, and his gaze was fixed on Jin Luantian, demonstrating the responsibility and decisiveness of a clan leader.
Seeing this, Jin Luantian's gaze shifted between Yunxi and Shi'an, a complex look flashing in his eyes. Finally, he slowly nodded: "Brother Canghai is right. Marriage is a serious matter and should indeed be approached with caution."
"Our Peng Clan is not one to force things. Since Miss Yunxi already has someone she belongs to, our Peng Clan will respect her choice."
Upon hearing this, Jin Yunteng's expression changed slightly, as if he wanted to retort, but was stopped by a look from Jin Luantian.
Following this, Jin Luantian continued, "However, although my Peng clan can withdraw from the marriage alliance, the cooperation between our two clans cannot be severed. Faced with the impending great calamity, my Ancient Divine Mountain lineage must unite all forces that can be united."
"That's natural."
Yun Canghai nodded slightly in agreement: "In this great calamity, all races should work together. Although the marriage alliance has failed, cooperation will continue."
After that, the two sides discussed the specific details of the cooperation in depth until night fell, and then they parted ways.
