Chapter 357: 326: Mercy Shown by the Subordinate_1



Nan Bi Yun stiffened, shaking her head desperately.

Allowing a human to cultivate is a major crime in the Sea Race, she would die ten times over for such a sin, so her first instinct was to deny it.

“You don’t know either?”

The White-scaled Sea Clan member furrowed his brows slightly, looking towards Nan Peiyao.

“I, I…”

An invisible Divine Intent landed on her body, causing Nan Peiyao’s entire body to tense unconsciously. She wanted to lie, but the fear of the superior figure made it impossible for her to speak. She tried to open her mouth, but no sound came out.

Moreover, this hastily thought-up lie would likely contain many holes, that could easily be discovered, leading to a worse death.

Maybe she should just confess and hand the culprit over. She might even be able to save her own life.

Moreover, it was no mystery who taught this cultivation method—no doubt, it was Xu Mu. He deserved to be handed over.

Right now, she loathed Xu Mu. Why would he teach cultivation methods to others in his spare time?

But it was also her fault. She had let down her guard around Xu Mu, and this big mistake was a result of that negligence.

But if she confessed, all the details about rescuing Xu Mu and hiding his whereabouts would be exposed, and she would still end up dead.

Even though she held a high position in the eyes of the islanders, in the eyes of the Sea Race, she was no different from ordinary humans: beings that could be crushed on a whim. There was no room for redemption by confessing her crimes.

Even if she confessed everything, she would not be able to escape death.

“Why are you silent, do you know or not?”

The White-scaled Sea Clan member’s voice hardened, causing Nan Peiyao to nearly collapse with fear.

“Sir! It must be her! She’s been sneaking about on the island recently. It must be her!”

Overcome with fear, Nan Bi Yun started to accuse Nan Peiyao of wrongdoing, eager to defray any potential blame from herself.

Regardless of whether she knew or not, given the serious situation on the island, she would certainly be punished. At this point, the only way to minimize her punishment was to pin it all on Nan Peiyao.

“It was definitely not me, Sir! I had just returned from my tribe and know nothing!” she explained desperately.

“Is what she said true?” The White-scaled Sea Clan member turned to Nan Peiyao.

Nan Peiyao, shocked and enraged, was shaking uncontrollably and couldn’t muster a single word.

Impatient, the White-scaled Sea Clan member lightly pounded his trident. A gigantic water dragon formed and sent Nan Peiyao flying backward.

“Are you deaf? I am speaking to you!”

The tone of the White-scaled Sea Clan member had completely chilled.

Nan Peiyao, who was attacked, dared not resist and took the hit, coughing up blood involuntarily while looking disheveled. Her facial mask was knocked off, revealing a face partially covered with white scales.

“It was I who taught him, I just wanted to…”

“You do have a lot of nerve.”

The White-scaled Sea Clan member waved his trident, and a tentacle made of seawater lifted her up.

“You should know the rules of our clan. You must die, no matter the reason.”

After speaking, he raised his trident to kill Nan Peiyao.

“No, she’s not the one who taught me!”

The child suspended on the side suddenly shouted.

“Hmm?”

The White-scaled Sea Clan member paused his actions and looked at the child indifferently.

“It, it was I who learned it myself!” The boy, stuttering, responded.

He dared not mention Xu Mu, and he didn’t want Nan Peiyao to get implicated, trying to shoulder the blame himself.

“You learned it yourself?”

The eyes of the White-scaled Sea Clan member turned cold.

“It has nothing to do with him, sir! He’s just a child! I taught him because I wanted to test a martial method I had just obtained!” Nan Peiyao hurriedly said.

She knew that at this time, the boy’s act of taking on the blame would not only fail to make things better, it would also potentially make things worse.

“A new martial method? Which one? Let me have a look.”

“This, this…”

Nan Peiyao was at a loss for words. She had no idea what martial method the boy had been practicing.

Even if she wanted to fabricate a story, it would be too late. Xu Mu had only taught her alchemy and had not taught her any martial methods.

“Sir, there must be someone hidden on the island, I sensed the aura of another cultivator on her!”

Nan Bi Yun suddenly intervened.

She wanted to make up for her mistake.

“Is what she said true?” The White-scaled Sea Clan asked.

“No, no it isn’t!”

Nan Peiyao swiftly denied it.

The boy next to her immediately changed his expression, as if he’d confessed without being questioned.

“You dare to deceive me!”

The White-scaled Sea Clan narrowed his eyes, a murderous aura emanating from him as he thrust his trident towards Nan Peiyao’s throat.

“Have mercy!”

A strong aura enveloped everyone abruptly, making the White-scaled Sea Clan’s trident stop right at Nan Peiyao’s throat. It was just about to pierce through her throat.

“I am Nan Tianzhao of the White Scale Tribe, please reveal yourself!”

Nan Tianzhao released his aura, showing his strong vigilance. His subordinates also looked incredibly tense because the oppressive feeling was too formidable.

Just then, a stream of blue Escape Light flew over from the center of the island.

Nan Peiyao’s heart skipped a beat as she wondered if Xu Mu was risking his life to save her.

Rather than being touched, Nan Peiyao only felt frustrated and cursed Xu Mu in her heart. If it was indeed him, not only would she die needlessly, but it would also bring bad luck to everyone on the island.

The reason she didn’t reveal Xu Mu was that doing so would be useless and could potentially harm the other people on the island.

The boy’s eyes widened, wondering if his big brother had come to save them.

But the voice just now sounded deep and hoarse, not like something his big brother would say.

As everyone was lost in thought, the blue Escape Light stopped abruptly in front of them, revealing the figure of a snake-man.

The crowd recognised him, he was the Black Water Xuan Snake Clan, much stronger than their White Scale Tribe.

“Greetings, sir!”

Nan Tianzhao quickly bowed down, and the others followed suit.

“No need for formalities! I hope I didn’t interrupt anything?” said the Snake-man with a laugh.

“No! Not at all!”

Nan Tianzhao quickly waved his hands, appearing very restrained. He was no longer the proud man he was before, but instead seemed like a helpless little man.

“That’s good!” the Snake-man said with a smile.

He pointed at the boy and said, “The martial method he’s using, I taught him. I obtained a Human Clan martial method in my travels and wanted to test it out. I didn’t expect it would bother your clan, I’m really sorry!”

“So, it was taught by you, sir! It’s a minor matter! Not a big deal! Please don’t worry about it!” Nan Tianzhao hastily replied.

Despite the drastic contrast, no one found anything wrong with his words.

“In that case, what about these two–”

The snake clan looked at Nan Peiyao and the boy.

“Uh? Oh! Right away, I’ll release them!”

Nan Tianzhao waved his hand and immediately released the boy and Nan Peiyao.

At this point, Nan Peiyao and the boy felt like they were in a dream, not understanding how a powerful snake clan member suddenly spoke up for them.

“Thank you, young Nan!” the Snake-man laughed and cupped his fists in salute.

“It’s my duty! It’s my duty!” said Nan Tianzhao, laughing along.

“If there’s nothing else, I will leave now!”

“Wait, sir!” Nan Tianzhao urged.

“Is there something else?”

“That, that…,”

Nan Tianzhao revealed an embarrassed expression, laughed awkwardly while glancing at the snake clan member.

His subordinates felt like they were seeing a ghost. They had never seen Nan Tianzhao act like this before.

“Go ahead!”

“Are you, by any chance, the Music Saint?”
