480: Shake the northern branch, let the true body come (two in one)

"Lin Yang, what can you do to me?"

As Fang Han's words, containing three parts mockery, three parts arrogance, four parts disdain, twelve parts nonchalance, and seventy-eight parts 'what the heck, I'm giving up', left his mouth, everyone fell silent.

Although Fang Han was arrogant, he was speaking the truth.

Among the three major factions of the Human Alliance, their faction was the strongest overall.

Especially in terms of top-tier combat power, only the Neutral Faction combined with Song Qingfeng's faction could contend with them.

This was also the main reason why their faction acted almost recklessly.

The Foreign race still needed their few Ancestral Old Monsters to deter them.

And now, they were engaged in a great war with the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan.

The powerhouses of their faction became even more crucial.

At this time, as long as it wasn't betraying humanity, backstabbing the Human Alliance, and colluding with the Foreign race, then other matters could be set aside.

At this moment, for the stability of humanity and the Human Alliance, the Neutral Faction could not possibly unite with Song Qingfeng's faction for an internal conflict.

As for harming Cai Fei's family?

It would indeed cause dissatisfaction among other frontline warriors.

But Fang Han had already prepared his excuse.

This attack on Cai Fei was solely to deal with Lin Yang!

They would never do anything similar to any other Human Alliance member!

The matter of Cai Fei could be attributed to factional struggle.

In short, everything had been laid bare, and Fang Han no longer cared.

The Human Race and the Human Alliance throughout the Ten Thousand Universes now could not do without the powerhouses of their faction!

Sufficient strength could suppress all dissatisfaction!

Fang Han laughed wantonly.

Lin Yang gazed at him, a faint light flickering in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Fang Han to be so direct, not only showing no apology or shame but even taking pride in it.

To be honest, it was excessively shameless.

"Fang Han, you've really shown me your shameless faces, even more without a bottom line than I imagined."

Since Fang Han had spoken to this extent and torn off all pretense, Lin Yang naturally stopped being polite.

"Heh heh, the Human Race in the Ten Thousand Universes relies on the protection of our several Ancestors. Whatever we do to them is only right."

Fang Han sneered, speaking his truest thoughts:

"The several Ancestors protect the Human Race. Let alone just occupying some resources, what if we didn't give them anything at all?"

"It's just that the Ancestors are kind and haven't controlled all resources."

"You should feel honored and grateful."

"Grateful for our Ancestors' protection and sacrifice!"

Lin Yang looked at Fang Han: "You're truly mad. How dare you say the Human Race relies on the protection of those Old Monsters? Are you directly erasing the contributions of other Ancestors?"

"It's true that those Old Monsters fight against the Foreign race, but they also take away nearly ninety percent of the important resources, controlling the most crucial resources and pathways for others to advance."

"Fang Han, how dare you boast that those old geezers protect the Human Race? Heh heh, I think it's more like the entire Human Race is supplying you vampires!"

Lin Yang stared at Fang Han, rebuking him harshly:

"You seize the most important resources, yet you don't give the entire Human Race the proper returns. Instead, you constantly compress the upward mobility of others, preventing new Ancestral figures from emerging to break your monopoly."

"If those Old Monsters weren't sucking the blood of the entire Human Race and blocking others' advancement, there would be at least several more Ancestral figures by now, and the Human Race's situation would only be better than it is now!"

"They snatch all sorts of high-quality resources and then supply them to you, their direct descendants, nurturing batch after batch of parasites that constantly cling to the entire Human Race, sucking its blood."

"Now, you actually have the nerve to say that those old geezers are protecting the Human Race?"

Fang Han's killing intent instantly surged: "Lin Yang! Slandering an Ancestor, your crime deserves death!"

"Deserves death?" Lin Yang scoffed, "I'm standing right here, come and kill me!"

"You're seeking death!"

Fang Han exploded in rage, completely unable to hold back, and instantly lunged at Lin Yang.

He had held back initially, still harboring hope that Lin Yang couldn't have obtained evidence.

But now, everything that needed to be said and shouldn't have been said was out in the open, so he no longer wanted to endure!

Even if he knew it was impossible to kill Lin Yang, he only wanted to fight a battle at this moment to vent the anger in his heart.

But just as he made his move, a gentle voice sounded: "Fang Han, your opponent is me."

Following the voice, a kind-faced middle-aged man appeared. He first smiled slightly at Lin Yang, then moved to intercept Fang Han.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the anger on Fang Han's face instantly surged to another level, and he roared: "Li Huangyun, it's you again, you damned old geezer!"

"Heh heh, Fang Han, we're old friends, aren't we? It's been many years since we last met, why are you so irritable? Could it be that you're unhappy to see your old friend?"

Li Huangyun's tone remained gentle, and he even showed a kind smile, saying with a grin:

"Are you still angry about me ruining your spiritual advancement and coincidentally snatching a few of your top-grade spiritual substances back then?"

"You really hold a grudge. How can we say we're old friends who became acquainted through fighting? In the days we haven't met, I've really missed you, but you treat an old friend like this. It's truly heartbreaking."

"...Li! Huang! Yun!"

Hearing this, Fang Han suddenly became incredibly furious in an instant, his face visibly turning red, as if he had recalled some unbearable past event. He roared and cursed:

"Go to hell, you old friend!"

"Who the hell is your old friend!"

"I wish you were dead!"

"You old dog, I'm going to kill you today!!"

"Die for me!!"

Boom!

Fang Han, provoked by something unknown, blurted out several curses in public.

Then, his aura surged violently, and his eyes turned red with extreme anger.

As if he had seen his archenemy, he furiously attacked Li Huangyun.

"Heh heh, Fang Han, you're still as irritable as ever. Looking at you now, I feel as if I'm seeing you that day, equally exasperated. Your angry expression is truly exactly the same as back then. Years pass, things change, but you haven't changed. That's good!"

Li Huangyun's tone remained leisurely and gentle.

But it was precisely these gentle words that further provoked Fang Han.

"Ah ah ah ah!!"

"Li Huangyun!!"

"You die for me!"

Fang Han roared to the sky, looking completely broken, charging at Li Huangyun like an enraged bull!

"Your desire to kill me is still as strong as it was back then, that's good. You truly haven't changed, which makes me feel like I haven't aged with the passing of time either!"

Li Huangyun said with another grin.

At the same time, he met Fang Han's furious attack, rushing out of the building to engage in a fierce battle.

"...What's going on?"

Lin Yang was a bit confused and couldn't help but turn to look at Que Tian.

That Director Li Huangyun just said a few words, and it enraged Fang Han to this extent?

The other Human Alliance members in the building were equally bewildered and shocked.

They had all witnessed a dignified Director losing his composure like this in public for the first time.

Que Tian smiled and said:

"Team Leader, didn't you hear Director Li Huangyun? Back then, he ruined Fang Han's plans at a crucial moment and also snatched the few top-grade spiritual universal substances Fang Han had at the time for his breakthrough, causing Fang Han to fail his breakthrough at a critical juncture and miss many opportunities."

"Fang Han considers this matter his greatest humiliation. Failing his breakthrough and having his top-grade spiritual substances stolen, and later, due to Director Li Huangyun's targeting, his breakthrough was delayed for many years, resulting in huge losses. In short, he has suffered too many losses at Director Li Huangyun's hands, yet he has never once gained the upper hand."

"In Fang Han's heart, Director Li Huangyun is almost his inner demon. He dreams of killing Director Li Huangyun, but he just hasn't had the chance."

Lin Yang immediately understood: "No wonder Fang Han's anger doubled when he saw Director Li Huangyun just now, and he was enraged to the point of explosion by just a few words from Director Li Huangyun."

Afterward, Lin Yang looked at the shady man, Lone Wolf: "I originally intended to capture you for interrogation, but it seems it's no longer necessary. Your testimony is useless."

He had captured this guy before for his testimony, but now, Fang Han had directly admitted everything.

So this guy was useless.

"Kill me if you want! No one instructed me to do anything!"

Lone Wolf, however, remained stubborn.

Although he was stubborn, there was a deep fear in his eyes.

After all, everyone fears death.

But he had no choice. Although any testimony from him at this point was useless, he still couldn't say that he was instructed by Zhai Lin.

His family was still in Zhai Lin's hands. By refusing to speak even unto death, his family would at least not suffer Zhai Lin's wrath.

Lin Yang didn't say anything more to Lone Wolf and granted Lone Wolf's wish to die.

Then, he looked at Zhai Lin and Fang Han's two assistants.

However, he didn't immediately kill them.

These two guys were Zhai Lin and Fang Han's confidantes. Not only did they know many secrets, but they had also surely handled more unsavory matters. Lin Yang decided to spare their lives for now and take them back to the Alien Management Bureau for interrogation.

But, just at this moment.

A terrifying power suddenly enveloped the entire headquarters building.

It made everyone's bodies stiffen, and they involuntarily felt an urge to kneel and worship.

"Hmm? This is..."

Lin Yang's hairs stood on end, feeling an unprecedented terror.

And he had experienced this feeling once before!

"It's an Ancestral Old Monster!"

Lin Yang blurted out, his expression extremely solemn.

This terrifying power suppression could only be brought by an Ancestral Old Monster!

He had felt this might during that battle in front of the Universe Alliance building years ago!

Sure enough.

The next moment, the figure of an Old Monster slowly condensed.

It wasn't his true body, but a projection.

But even as just a projection, it carried an oppressive aura that made it impossible to look directly at him.

"Northern Branch Rock!"

Lin Yang recognized the identity of the newcomer.

This Old Monster was the one with the strongest killing intent towards him back then.

He was also the first person Lin Yang asked about when he consulted Three Watches Rain about assassination prices.

"Lin Yang, your growth rate is truly fast enough. In just ten years, you've grown from a complete rookie to a point where even Shadow Kill is not your opponent. You truly make this Ancestor look at you with new eyes."

After Northern Branch Rock's projection condensed, his gaze locked onto Lin Yang.

And only Lin Yang!

As if no one else was worth a second glance.

Lin Yang endured the immense power suppression and looked directly at Northern Branch Rock, not responding.

He didn't know why this Old Monster suddenly appeared.

Northern Branch Rock then continued:

"Lin Yang, today's matter, you have already killed the mastermind and culprit. This matter can end here."

Lin Yang instantly looked up: "Northern Branch Rock, are you telling me to let Zhai Lin and Fang Han's assistants go?"

Northern Branch Rock didn't respond directly, but said indifferently:

"The Heart of the Extreme Sea has an anomaly. Your silver-haired elder should be experiencing great trouble in the Heart of the Extreme Sea, perhaps unable to protect herself. If she is unable to take care of herself and is deeply trapped within."

"Lin Yang, without her protection, you won't survive for a single breath!"

Lin Yang's heart instantly jolted.

Senior Yue You encountered big trouble in the Heart of the Extreme Sea?

"Is it to find Senior Feng?"

Lin Yang knew why the Silver-haired woman went there.

But he hadn't expected that the Heart of the Extreme Sea would be so dangerous.

Even the Silver-haired woman would encounter trouble inside.

One must know, the Silver-haired woman was previously capable of fighting several Ancestral Old Monsters alone.

An existence practically invincible in these Ten Thousand Universes, yet she would encounter danger where she couldn't protect herself in one place?

He was very shocked and couldn't help but worry about the Silver-haired woman.

Buzz.

Suddenly.

Northern Branch Rock's projection made a move, and a vast power instantly descended upon Lin Yang.

The speed was so fast that there was no time to react.

Lin Yang felt the breath of death.

"Team Leader!!"

Que Tian instantly cried out in alarm, glaring at Northern Branch Rock:

"Northern Branch Rock, how dare you disregard the Silver-haired Senior's warning and bully Lin Yang?"

"Hmph!"

To Que Tian's angry roar, Northern Branch Rock only let out a cold snort. A similar vast power enveloped Que Tian, intending to kill him.

Que Tian's angry roar, to Northern Branch Rock, was a great disrespect.

But Northern Branch Rock simply couldn't be bothered with a small fry like Que Tian.

Just a slight overflow of the power meant to kill Lin Yang enveloped Que Tian!

But, just as Northern Branch Rock's power was about to kill Lin Yang and Que Tian.

"Crack."

A very faint crisp sound came from Lin Yang's body.

The life-saving item the Silver-haired woman had given him completely shattered, releasing a surge of power that blocked all of Northern Branch Rock's attacks.

At the same time, the Silver-haired woman's ethereal projection reappeared.

Upon seeing the Silver-haired woman's phantom, a look of not surprise but joy actually appeared on Northern Branch Rock's face:

"You are indeed suspected to be..."

"Deeply trapped in the Heart of the Extreme Sea, yet you still have the strength to project yourself across endless space."

"However, after this time, you will no longer be able to continue protecting this little thing!"

Northern Branch Rock's tone was full of an indescribable meaning. The latter half of the previous sentence seemed to have used some mysterious power to block it, making it so that no one heard exactly what was suspected.

But Lin Yang understood that Northern Branch Rock's disregard for the warning and his attack this time was to force out the last of the protective power the Silver-haired woman had left him!

Clearly, this Old Monster had done it on purpose.

The Silver-haired woman's phantom ignored Northern Branch Rock and instead spoke to Lin Yang:

"Lin Yang, I've encountered some trouble in the Heart of the Extreme Sea. The carrier on you has shattered. This is the last time I can help you before I get out. From now on, you must walk your own path."

"Senior, junior..." Lin Yang opened his mouth, about to say that she had already helped him enough.

But the Silver-haired woman's projection didn't give him a chance to say more, isolating the sound so others couldn't hear, and quickly said:

"You are almost at the Spirit Realm. It's time to go to Source Star."

"Remember, once you reach Source Star, don't rush to break through. You must first find a place."

"I will directly imprint the information of that place onto you."

"Now, take your friends and leave first."

"Today, I will make a move for you one last time."

"After this battle, they will temporarily be unable to deal with you."

"You need to improve quickly and gain the power to protect yourself!"

Buzz.

As the Silver-haired woman spoke, Lin Yang and Que Tian were directly sent out of the headquarters building.

Afterward, the Silver-haired woman's voice resonated everywhere in the heavens and earth:

"A mere projection, yet you dare to look at me directly?"

"Don't say I'm not giving you a chance."

"You all, bring your true bodies!"
