Shuǐ JunHo stared at Zhao ZhuYong and Shuǐ ChangSheng, with some amusement.
"I should not be surprised that you would pull such an underhanded move. After all, I've witnessed your daughter do the same thing all year." Shuǐ JunHo had placed his arms behind his back. "It's one of the many thing I dislike about her...
"She lacks manners, respect, refinement, and yet she possesses no shame. She jumped through the four regions of Xin Dao, and caused so much trouble for Shuǐ YanXuan..."
Zhao ZhuYong and Shuǐ ChangSheng furrowed their brows at him, but remained quiet.
Around them, the battle raged as the Clan Leaders and followers of both sides, fought against themselves. Wong Fu Heng fought against the only Western prominent Clan Leader to follow the Elder.
"Clan Leader Shuǐ!" He yelled over at Shuǐ ChangSheng, as he blocked his opponent's attack. "You will eventually have to answer to us, and tell us why your son had an appearance like that, and such a fearful demonic aura!"
"You should concentrate an your battle for now, picky old man!" Kong Zihao put in, as he narrowly passed by with another opponent.
"How Rude! Say that again, you unripe, yet withered wild cabbage!!" Wong Fu Heng had let out a tirade, but Kong Zihao didn't bother with what he was saying, as he fought his own opponent.
At first, he had gone after Clan Leader Wu, the prominent Clan Leader of the North, who had joined the Elder. Clan Leader Wu had been present at the feast, where his father died, so he was most likely in cohorts with Kong Xiaoli, and had known what was planned that night.
However since Clan Leader Wu was older and stronger than he was, Kong Zihao had left it to one of the Kong elders, who was nearing the peak of the White realm.
"Teach him a lesson and let him learn the difference between a ruling Clan and a Prominent Clan!" Kong Zihao had said, before going after the others.
In general, Kong Zihao had no mercy on the Elder's followers, because the death of his father, Kong JuLong, was still fresh on his mind.
Clan Leader Wei Zhu Qing had her hands full with three other Clan Leaders. "Ganging up on me, because I'm an old Lady? I'll see to it that you regret your actions!"
Meanwhile Min Shen Zhu went after his twin brother...
.
The twins faced each other, making it hard for most to even tell who was who, and as the battle raged around them, the wind blew their hair and robes about, as they silently stared at themselves.
It would have been like looking in a mirror for Shen Zhu, except that one's reflection didn't hold such a hateful glare.
To the world, both brother's were extremely close, but they both knew that from the time they were children, an unspeakable wedge had always been present.
Shen Zhu spoke first. "My foolish Little brother. Why did you do something like this?"
Shi Zhu scoffed. "Hmph. Didn't you foresee this? Even a worm will wriggle, if you step on it... For years, I was forced to swallow every bit of my hatred. Tell me if being born as your twin was a blessing or a curse?
"To Father, I was something dispensable. An extra, who could stand in, whenever you were in danger. And even after he was gone, you began to treat me as your shadow...
"The apple certainly doesn't fall far from the tree!" Shi Zhu suddenly lunged at his brother, and their swords clashed, crystal lotus on ice lotus, sending out a powerful shockwave.
