Playing the victim to save face

Afraid Ji Yao would take things too far and cause the other clan leader to sway to the faction that wanted to keep the old system abolished Huishe Yue called his name as he took a step forward.

But before he could move further his steps paused and his body was suddenly frozen in place. He opened his mouth with a perplexed look on his face but no words came out. It was as though his body was no longer his to control and the culprit was obvious to all.

This kind of power, this kind of strength was formidable yet it was now in a kid's hands. He was so powerful that even the Huishe clan leader was subdued without him lifting a finger. If they weren't terrified before now they were.

Ji Yao crouched before the Pixiu clan leader and clutched his collar pulling him up. The clan leader coughed up a mouthful of blood as he leaned his body against the cracked pillar. In front of him was the handsome young man with eyes as sharp as a double edge sword.
