Chapter 899: I Am the Victim
Yang Haoran's words directly placed two big hats on the Jingling Continent demon hunter branch, adding another one to the previous one.
One hat was that the Jingling Continent demon hunter branch had already stood on the opposing side of their Yin Division and wanted to be their enemy. The other hat was that the Jingling Continent demon hunter branch had betrayed the Demon Hunter Association and wanted to be independent.
With these two big hats placed, the hearts of the two demon hunters were both alarmed, because these two hats, no matter which one, the Jingling Continent demon hunter branch could not bear. With both placed at the same time, it would directly crush the Jingling Continent demon hunter branch.
"You country bumpkin is simply talking nonsense. When did our Jingling Continent demon hunter branch want to go to war with your Yin Division, and when did we secede from the association? You stop smearing!"
The woman was furious, but Yang Haoran simply ignored her, as if he was treating her as air, only looking at the man with a faint smile, because the man was above the woman in both identity and strength.
"My friend from Yin Division, some words cannot be said casually, it's not good for anyone if the matter gets out of hand."
The man said in a deep voice, although his complexion looked a lot worse than before, but his momentum was obviously weaker than before.
"Hehe, how could I speak nonsense about such a big matter. Just now, your Jingling Continent demon hunter branch people attacked me for no reason, and wanted to kill me with a sword. If I didn't have some skills, I would already be a pile of meat now. This is not me talking nonsense, the many pairs of eyes here can see it clearly. And just now you also heard, someone did threaten to kill me."
Yang Haoran smiled and spoke, the man's face changed constantly.
The woman was furious and shouted loudly at Yang Haoran.
Slap!!!
A resounding slap landed on the woman's face, and the angry woman was stunned by the slap, her voice abruptly stopped.
The one who struck was not Yang Haoran, but the demon hunter man. Although he did not use star spiritual power, his hand was not light at all. Not only did it leave fingerprints on the woman's snow-white cheek, but the slapped area also quickly swelled up.
"If you say another word, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The man gritted his teeth and said, with a strong killing intent in his tone.
The woman was very dissatisfied, but seeing the man so angry at this time, even if she was not satisfied and even very angry, she could only lower her head and endure it.
Because she knew the man's character well. If she didn't shut up at this time, or argued with the man, her fate would be very miserable.
She was not the kind of person who was purely arrogant and looked down on everyone, she only looked down on those who were inferior to her in status and strength. If their status and strength were higher than hers, she dared not to be presumptuous.
"Friend, I take back my previous words. We two do not represent the entire Jingling Continent branch, so those two things you mentioned do not exist. As for whether Jiaojiao tried to kill you, I still need to find out about this matter, I can't just believe your one-sided words."
With that, the man did not wait for Yang Haoran's response, but tore open space and forcibly took the paralyzed woman away.
He left so decisively because he didn't want to continue to entangle with Yang Haoran. If he continued to entangle, he didn't know what else Yang Haoran would splash on him. At that time, it would be difficult for him to explain clearly.
So, he decided to temporarily take the woman away, find out the cause of the matter, and then make the next move, so as not to be passive like now.
The genuine article resides on M|V|L&EMPYR.
When the man tore open space, Master Wu wanted to stop him, but the other party didn't give an explanation and left as if nothing had happened, which of course was not allowed.
However, Yang Haoran waved his hand to stop him, indicating that he didn't need to bother with the two.
Since Yang Haoran indicated so, Master Wu naturally would not go against Yang Haoran's wishes, and let the two demon hunters leave the Administrative Bureau.
Since even Yang Haoran, the so-called victim, didn't stop the two demon hunters from leaving, the others present naturally wouldn't stop them either. Moreover, not everyone among those present had a good relationship with Yang Haoran. They couldn't afford to offend the Demon Hunter Association for Yang Haoran's sake.
As for why Yang Haoran let the two go, he naturally had his own considerations.
The appearance of Yang Haoran was an unexpected surprise for everyone present. They never imagined that Yang Haoran would be here at this moment, let alone that he would engage in combat with a two-star demon hunter and cause the opponent to bleed profusely.
"Alas, Yang Divine Envoy, the opponent is merely a woman, why did you have to use such a heavy hand?"
After the two left, a woman turned her gaze to Yang Haoran. She first sighed softly and then spoke to Yang Haoran in this manner.
The woman wore a white robe, pure white without any impurities, as clean and white as a lotus flower emerging from the mud. The white robe perfectly accentuated the woman's curvaceous figure, but one thing was a pity - the woman wore a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her features clearly.
Although unable to see the opponent's features clearly, Yang Haoran recognized her attire and, combined with his impression of her voice, immediately recognized her.
The first time he met her, he did not know her name. Later, he had Master Wu find her information, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of her.
Her name is Qin Jie, and she is a key figure in the Lecheng Holy Mother Church. At the beginning of the great chaos, Yang Haoran had a brief encounter with her, which left him somewhat speechless.
Qin Jie's appearance here today naturally represents the Lecheng Holy Mother Church. Upon hearing her words, Yang Haoran immediately responded with a smile.
"Hehe, Holy Mother Envoy Qin, your words are too biased towards that beauty. She even tried to kill me, and you still don't allow me to fight back? You shouldn't take her side just because you and she are both beauties. You should know that we are all people from Lecheng, we are fellow townsmen. You know I am the victim, yet you still speak up for the other side. This is not quite right."
When talking about being the victim, Yang Haoran's expression was natural, not at all shameless. It seemed as if it were true. As for such matters, he was no longer a novice but an experienced actor, and he had some acting skills.
Yang Haoran not only said he was the victim but also brought up the relationship of fellow townsmen with Qin Jie. However, his words were just polite talk and did not mean he genuinely wanted to establish any relationship with Qin Jie.
"In the eyes of our Holy Church believers, all beings are equal, so we will not take sides based on certain relationships or special reasons. We will only act according to the teachings of our Holy Church. That female demon hunter just now wanted to kill you, but she didn't have the ability to do so. Yang Divine Envoy, you must know this in your heart. Since you know she cannot threaten your life, why did you use such a heavy hand? A light lesson would have been enough. After all, everyone makes mistakes at times. Forgiving others is forgiving yourself."
Yang Haoran found this Holy Mother Church envoy somewhat troublesome, especially their Holy Mother Church's teachings, which he found difficult to accept.
"My hand was already light enough. If I used my usual strength, what you would see out here would not be a living person but a corpse."
As he spoke, Yang Haoran shifted his gaze from Qin Jie. He didn't want to get entangled with her any further. Different paths, no common ground. Continuing to discuss this issue with Qin Jie would not only yield no results but also waste his precious time, which he did not want to waste on her.
Qin Jie understood Yang Haoran's thoughts, so she did not continue the conversation but sighed again and shook her head lightly.
"Everyone, I'm sorry for the disturbance just now during your important discussion. Here, I apologize to all of you. I hope you won't blame me."
