GACHA SOVEREIGN

Chapter 716 - Killing the Pests

The next day, Song Jiaoren summoned every single elder in the clan to have a clan meeting.

No one dared to be absent because the one who invited them was Song Jiaoren's Grandfather, Song Hun. Although he had retired for long, many still knew his strength, and the elders feared this old person.

Song Ping sat on his seat as Song Jiaoren stood beside him.

"Thank you for coming in this short notice." Song Jiaoren opened the meeting as soon as he noticed no seat was empty anymore.

"Young Master. I don't mean to be rude, but can you please cut to the chase? The longer we are neglecting our job, the worse it is." One of the elders asked politely.

"I understand. I will keep it simple then." Song Jiaoren nodded, looked at Song Ping, who gave him a 'Go' sign. "I have only two things to announce. It's about our VIP Card.

"I assume… All elders must have known about our VIP Card, right?" Song Jiaoren paused for a moment. "All elders should have their own card to prove if the opposite party really has our VIP Card. However, there is another trick for this VIP Card."

"!!!" The elders opened their eyes wide, curious about what he wanted to say. Seeing that the Patriarch was calm, they knew it was the truth.

"There is actually another rank above our VIP Card, and I assume all elders have heard about it even from the rumor." Song Jiaoren nodded and continued.

"Don't tell me…"

"The rumor is true…"

The elders gasped as some of them rose from their seats.

Song Jiaoren raised his hand, stopping them from commenting. "That's right. The Supreme VIP Card actually exists. In fact, we are simply a branch clan."

"A branch clan?"

Song Jiaoren nodded without a change of expression. "Yes. Our Main Clan is outside this world, and the one who has the authority to produce the Supreme VIP Card is only them. Our Main Clan is filled with God Rank Experts, so I assume I shouldn't say many things about them, right?"

The moment they heard God Rank Experts, they were stupefied.

"If one holds a Supreme VIP Card, they can be treated like an elder in the Main Clan… In other words, our status is far below such an esteemed person. That's why! I want to say this to all of you. If the person, who has our Supreme VIP Card, calls our main clan, there is only one result." Song Jiaoren paused, creating tension before he released his aura and narrowed his eyes. "Clan Extermination."

"Young Master. Is that true?" One of the elders asked.

"With Heaven and Earth as my witness, I, Song Jiaoren, haven't told a single lie and will only tell the truth for this meeting." Song Jiaoren proved it with his action almost immediately.

The elders were stupefied by his decisiveness. But it also showed how serious this matter was. They gulped down and stayed quiet, listening to what Song Jiaoren had to say.

"There are two elders that are targeting the Supreme VIP Card holder, and thankfully, we realize it before it is too late. First Elder, Third Elder, what do you have to say?" Song Jiaoren glared at them.

"What? Do you doubt us, Young Master?" The first elder rose from his seat and slammed the table. He looked at Song Ping and cupped his hands. "Patriarch. Is this your meaning? If not, I implore you to stop Young Master from slandering me. I have been loyal to the Blackwade Clan, and I can't stand someone insulting me after so much effort."

Song Ping didn't say anything while Song Jiaoren continued his speech. "Then, I want to ask the Third Elder. Why would only you escape alive from the disaster in the Northern Continent? Can you please tell us the story again?"

Song Jing gulped down. He started telling the story again only to find Song Xu shaking his head. Unlike the first one, the elders could pick more flaws when they heard it for the second time.

Song Jiaoren smiled upon finding this and asked. "Then, I would like to ask why Elder Song Jing could return safely? How about Elder Song Yi, Our Fourth Elder? And how about the people of our Blackwade Clan from the Northern Continent?

"According to my information, everyone is alive. How about Elder Song Jing explain this to us?" Song Jiaoren asked with a smile.

"I…" Song Jing started sweating as he tried to find a good explanation. "How could I know? I ran away as soon as possible."

"Is that so? I have investigated the Blackwade Clan there, only to find that Elder Song Yi also boarded the ship together with you."

After hearing Song Jiaoren's argument, the elders started whispering with each other, having their own unique thoughts. Song Jing glanced at the First Elder, who was looking away, abandoning him almost instantly.

Song Jiaoren noticed this slight movement and smirked. "One more thing. I also found out that you immediately came to the First Elder's courtyard before reporting your status to the family. According to the rule of the family, such an action is forbidden.

"I am sure that you, as an elder, should know it as well, right? However, why would you actually ignore the rule and head to the First Elder's courtyard first?"

Without even saying anything, the elders behind them realized Song Jing and Song Xu had a connection behind the scene. They stared at the two elders, waiting for their arguments.

However, Song Xu decided to abandon the ship and smiled. "Young Master, you jest. Song Jing wanted to kill me because I once had a.d.u.l.tery with his wife because she seduced me. I have no part in this matter."

Even if he needed to lose some face, he needed to prove himself innocent.

Song Jiaoren smiled even wider and stated. "Is that so? Then I would like to know why your relationship seems to be good. Besides, I know that you have killed the Fourth Elder's sister.

"If Elder Song Yi was Elder Song Xu's enemy, Elder Song Jing didn't need to kill him because they had the same grievances. Now you have conflicted yourself, Elder Song Xu." Song Jiaoren smirked. Although he didn't lie from the start, he didn't say he couldn't make things up. However, he still managed to make a solid argument, cornering both Song Xu and Song Jing.

The whispering behind them became even louder.

"There is also proof that Song Yu, the heir of the Blackwade Clan Family from the Northern Continent, died in the process. And considering the grudge between Fire God Clan and Alexander Sirius and the bond between him and Song Yu, I am wondering what is the relationship between the two elders and the Fire God Clan?"

"I don't have any relationship with the Fire God Clan." Song Xu slammed the table and denied it immediately. What he said was the truth, but it was already too late to deny it because he had been trapped inside Song Jiaoren's trap.

The rest of the elders could also see this situation. No matter how hard Song Xu and Song Jing defended themselves, they would still have a missing part that was convincing enough to shut them all.

As the two elders were about to shout, Song Jiaoren declared. "These two elders have a conspiracy inside the clan."

Song Ping then took out a Space Ring and declared. "I have seen everything inside this Space Ring. The owner of this ring is the current Supreme VIP Card holder. Inside this ring is more than five million worth of Spirit Crystal.

"The two elders not only want to grab the Supreme VIP Card to enjoy the status, but they also want to possess this Space Ring. However, their action has brought disaster to the Blackwade Clan. If not because of our esteemed guest's graciousness, our clan will have been exterminated by now. That's why I, Song Ping, the Patriarch of the Blackwade Clan, strip Song Xu and Song Jing from their status."

*Hiss~!*

The room fell into silence. Song Ping used this chance to create another uproar. "We also will use one million Spirit Crystals to increase our clan strength. I promise you as a Patriarch."

The elders were amazed. Song Ping's promise was certainly not light.

"Everything has been revealed. Song Xu and Song Jing have raised a conspiracy within the clan and have a connection with the Fire God Clan. Because this is the only reason why these two suggested the previous alliance with the Fire God Clan to hunt down a certain person long ago. Hence, the two shall be removed from their title and executed." Song Ping declared out loud.

Song Xu and Song Jing opened their eyes wide, never expecting the situation to turn out like this. The Patriarch and Song Jiaoren didn't let them to even defend themselves. And by spewing half 'lies' and half truth, they had declared to execute them.

Song Jing released his Spiritual Energy and shouted. "No, no! It was the First Elder. He only used me and gave me Vein Poison Powder to kill Song Yi and Song Yu."

Song Jing was in despair, and the fact that he revealed their secret, it also removed the chance for Song Xu to explain. No one would actually believe him after all this mess. There was still one escape route for this situation.

"Shut up, you idiot. If you don't want to die, fight!" Song Xu roared as he released his Spiritual Energy. Even after falling from grace, Song Xu was still a 9-Star Martial Monarch nonetheless. "I will take care of the Patriarch. You grab Song Jiaoren. We can escape—!"

"Ah!" Before he finished his words, Song Jing screamed out of pain before his body fell to the ground. There was a hole on his left chest as big as his heart.

It was at this moment, Song Xu realized another attack coming from behind. He turned around and saw a giant beam coming toward him. "Sh*t!"

Knowing that he couldn't avoid it, he sacrificed his right hand to dodge this attack.

"Song Hun!"

The figure of an old man appeared inside the room. He wielded a red spear that enhanced his Fire Element. This blazing spear was one of the treasures he took from the treasury last night. It could be considered as one of the strongest weapons in the world. That was why he could kill the third elder only with perfect timing.

Song Hun looked at Song Xu and snorted. "I have been treating you nicely this whole time, and this is how you repay my Blackwade Clan? Song Xu, you traitor!"

"What traitor? You are the one that has framed me?" Song Xu shouted out loud.

"You still dare to say something like this after all the proofs are out? Die, Song Xu!" Song Hun leaped toward him.

Song Xu took out his sword, striking Song Hun's spear, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and noticed that he was stabbed from behind. "Song Ping…"

Song Xu slashed his sword again, blowing these two away with his last struggle.

Song Jiaoren also noticed this movement and instructed out loud. "Create a barrier to protect the building. Make sure this traitor doesn't escape."

"Yes, Young Master." Although some of them were still not convinced by Song Jiaoren and co. They had no choice other than helping others because they were in the minority.

The elders were positioning themselves around the room and erected a translucent white barrier. This was to make sure that their clash didn't affect the outside world.

"Sword Singularity." Song Xu's body became weaker after getting injured in two positions. Song Ping and Song Hun knew that Song Xu was no longer a threat.

They kept him inside the area and started wearing him out. Song Jiaoren and the other elders were waiting. It could be a shame to lose 8-Star Martial Saint and 9-Star Martial Saint within a single day, but the one million Spirit Crystals were enough to replace them and even made them stronger.

Finally, after five minutes, Song Xu fell to the ground, lifeless. Song Hun beheaded his head and sighed. "It's easier than I expected… Not that I complain."
