Chapter 298 Holy City Council Hall
Chapter 298 Holy City Council Hall
The Beast King regretted it, even though he didn't know the specific method to break the Life Stealing Technique.
But he had considered either killing his younger brother directly.
Or simply kill Lu An'an, who is lying on the stone bed, her life hanging by the runes on the stone bed.
However, greed prevented him from doing so.
The Beast King had a glimmer of hope: what if Xia Weier's cubs were alright?
The Beast King had actually wavered when Xia Weier came to ask for the Sacred Locust Flower.
If it were then, the Beast King would have killed either his younger brother or Lu An'an, or both of them.
These problems wouldn't exist now!
The Beast King grew angrier the more he thought about it!
That's the ancestral bloodline of the Moon Rabbit! A Moon Rabbit with heterochromia!
The Beast King's chest heaved, panting like a yak, regret almost overwhelming him!
However! The Beast King is not a beastman who suffers from internal strife. If he is not quick, accurate and ruthless, he will not be able to maintain his position as the Beast King.
So, after handing the two cubs over to a nursing female, the Beast King began urging the Witch Doctors and Priests stationed in the Holy City to act.
Several days later, the Beast King addressed the assembled orcs in the council hall, saying, "I have summoned you all here today for two reasons."
"One thing is that the Third Prince Xia Weier rushed into the Spirit Fox Tribe and, in a fit of rage, killed several elders."
"Another matter is that the Red Fox tribe suffered an unexplained attack during the beast tide!"
Inside the council hall, all the orcs began to whisper among themselves.
They naturally had their own opinions on these two matters. They originally thought that they would need to exert pressure to get the Beast King to bring these two matters into the open.
However, the fact that the Beast King brought it up himself means that he has already decided to exonerate Prince Xiaweier!
Many orcs do not want to see this outcome!
However, under the protection of the Beast God, the Moon Rabbit lineage of the Beast King did not commit any major wrongdoings, so they had no way to directly challenge the Beast King's authority.
After all, the Moon Rabbit Clan suffered heavy casualties while fighting against the beast tide.
The Moon Rabbit Clan was reduced from a large tribe of 70,000 powerful orcs to a medium-sized tribe of less than 5,000 orcs.
All of this was to resist the tyrannical and cruel Beast King of the Singing Bird Clan, and at the same time to resist the beast tide caused by the cold season!
All the major tribes, shamanic hospitals, and priestly academies have made a covenant with the Beast God, promising that as long as the Moon Rabbit Clan is not cruel and inhumane, they will not harbor any disloyalty towards the Moon Rabbit Clan's Beast King!
So many years have passed, and although some large tribes are ambitious and eager to seize the Moon Rabbit Clan's weakness to overthrow the Moon Rabbit Clan's Beast King's rule.
Unfortunately, all the previous Beast Kings were diligent and made no major mistakes.
Therefore, those large tribes with ulterior motives could only continue to secretly engage in petty tricks behind the scenes. They dared not actually rise up against the Beast King!
After all, the oath of the Beast God can truly bring calamity upon the entire tribe!
Some of the orcs originally thought that Xia Weier's daring attack on the Spirit Fox Tribe meant that he had found a weakness in the Bright Moon Rabbit Tribe!
However, the fact that the Beast King dared to bring this matter up on stage today means that they have failed to find any fault with the Bright Moon Rabbit Clan this time!
"First, let's talk about the Third Prince's sudden attack on the Spirit Fox Tribe. As we all know, Xia Weier's maternal clan is the Spirit Fox Tribe. His ties with the Spirit Fox Tribe are very deep. Does anyone here have any objections to this?"
The beastmen present all wore serious expressions and fell silent.
Clearly, everyone agrees with this statement.
Alternatively, even if they have objections, they plan to wait until the Beast King continues speaking and finishes! Then they can see if there's a breakthrough!
As expected, the Beast King continued, "Since no one has any objections, I will continue!"
"Some time ago, Xia Weier's partner gave birth to a cub because she is a virgin with twin uteruses. She gave birth to two babies for Xia Weier at the same time, and later gave birth to one more baby for Xia Weier."
"This should have been a joyous occasion, but the cubs' life force began to disappear rapidly. Xia Weier then learned that the Spirit Fox Tribe had secretly subjected Xia Weier's mother, who was also my former Holy Mother, to a curse in order to improve Xia Weier's aptitude."
"They tricked Xia Weier's mother into believing that the spell could enhance the cubs' aptitude. All it would take was Xia Weier's mother's lifeblood and health to elevate Xia Weier's aptitude to an unparalleled level!"
“My partner at the time, who was also Xia Weier’s mother, believed the Spirit Fox Tribe’s claim!”
"However, I didn't expect that this spell was actually a life-stealing spell. Xia Weier's aptitude was indeed enhanced by that spell."
"Are you all still wondering what this has to do with Xia Weier going to the Spirit Fox Tribe?"
“As we just mentioned, Xiaweier’s holy female companion gave birth to three children for him. After two of the cubs were born, the life-stealing spell began to frantically drain the cubs’ life force.”
"At that time, in order to break this life-stealing spell, Xia Weier specially rushed back to the Holy City and asked me for a Sacred Amber Flower. I believe many of the orcs here are aware of this!"
The Beast King ignored the group of orcs sitting on either side exchanging bewildered glances.
The Beast King continued, "However, at that time, Xia Weier used his heart's blood as a price to break the spell cast by this black witch doctor. As a result, it was obviously unsuccessful."
"Otherwise, my three little grandsons would still be alive by now."
The orcs couldn't help but gasp.
The Beast King revealed a truth that made them gasp: "This life-stealing technique always uses the eldest grandson or granddaughter of Xia Weier's child as the life-sacrifice."
"Xia Weier was wrong to go to the Spirit Fox Tribe, but let me ask you all here, if your partner had given birth to your cub with great difficulty, and it was taken away from you because of the scheming of other beastmen, causing your cub to die in your arms."
"So, does everyone still think that Xia Weier's rush to the Spirit Fox Tribe to demand an explanation was an excessive thing to do?"
"Furthermore, everyone should know that the three cubs who died in Xia Weier's arms were all extremely talented!"
The Beast King sighed, while the other orcs couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
A talent that even the Beast King regrets must be incredibly high!
The Beast King raised his hand: "Now let the High Priest cast his spell and begin questioning Xia Weier! If Xia Weier lies, he will lose all his reputation in the entire Beast God Continent!"
Upon hearing this, the high priest stepped forward and stood opposite Xia Weier.
