63: During the live-streamed trial, the Wang family patriarch knelt down!
On the main seat of the hall sat an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a brocade robe, exuding an air of natural authority without being angry.
He was the current head of the Wang Family—Wang Daolin, Head of the Wang Family!
A genuine powerhouse at the Dharma Idol Realm Ninth Level Peak!
He was only one step away from the King Realm!
Below him sat dozens of core elders and direct descendants of the Wang Family.
Each of them had a heavy aura and extraordinary cultivation.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire meeting hall was suppressed to the extreme.
Everyone's face was filled with solemnity and unease.
Just now, they had received bad news sufficient to shake the entire Wang Family!
The Life Tablets of the two ancestors guarding the K-7 Mining Planet, Wang Yan and Wang Miao... one had shattered!
Ancestor Wang Yan's Life Tablet had suddenly crumbled into powder just a few minutes ago!
And Ancestor Wang Miao's Life Tablet had also become flickering and dim, as if it would go out at any moment!
They knew better than anyone what this meant!
Something happened!
Something big happened on K-7 Planet!
"Investigate!"
"Investigate it for me!!"
"What on earth happened?!!!"
Wang Daolin slammed his palm on the table in front of him, letting out a thunderous roar!
"Why has all communication with K-7 Planet been cut off?!"
"Why can't that trash Wang Teng be reached?!"
"And why did Ancestor Wang Yan's Life Tablet shatter?!"
"Can anyone tell me!!!"
The roar echoed through the empty hall.
However, no one could answer his questions.
The people from the technical department had nearly racked their brains, yet they still couldn't reconnect to K-7 Planet's signal.
It was as if that planet had been forcibly erased from the universe.
Just as the entire upper echelon of the Wang Family was plunged into chaos and panic...
The holographic projection device in the center of the meeting hall suddenly emitted a 'sizzle' and activated on its own!
Everyone was startled!
"What's going on?!"
Wang Daolin shouted sharply.
"Family Head! It wasn't us!"
"The system... the system has been hacked!!"
An elder in charge of technology screamed, covered in sweat.
Hacked?!
Was this a joke?!
This was the ancestral home of the Wang Family! It possessed a high-end defense system developed by the Wang Family over many years!
Who could hack this place silently?!
Before they could figure it out...
The holographic projection image stabilized.
Following that, a hellish scene that they would never forget appeared before everyone!
It was a vast expanse of ruins.
Countless broken buildings and charred corpses told of the tragic battle that had just taken place here.
And in the sky above the ruins...
A sky splitter mecha, completely ice-blue and all too familiar to them, was kneeling in the void in an extremely humiliating posture.
And in front of it...
A cool mecha they had never seen before, three hundred meters tall and bathed in golden flames, was quietly floating there.
Like a monarch, it was inspecting its prisoner.
"Ancestor... Ancestor Miao?!"
A young Wang Family descendant let out an incredulous cry as he looked at that kneeling blue mecha!
The entire meeting hall instantly exploded into an uproar!
"That... that's Ancestor Miao's sky splitter! I recognize it!"
"He... how could he be kneeling?!"
"What is that golden giant across from him?!"
"Where's Ancestor Wang Yan! Where did Ancestor Wang Yan go?!"
Everyone was going crazy!
They couldn't understand the scene before their eyes!
Wang Daolin stood up from his seat with a 'whoosh'!
He stared fixedly at the golden mecha in the image, an ominous premonition surging in his heart.
Just then...
A childish voice was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears through the holographic projection.
"People of the Wang Family, listen up."
"Let me introduce myself."
"My name is Su Jue."
Su Jue?!
Hearing this surname, Wang Daolin's pupils suddenly shrank!
"It's you?!"
"That... remnant of the Su Family?!"
He remembered!
Not long ago, Wang Fu, who was responsible for managing the family's 'garbage' disposal, sent news saying they had encountered a mysterious Infant calling himself 'Su Jue' at the 'Steel Graveyard'!
He hadn't cared at the time.
What kind of waves could a descendant of a branch family exiled to a garbage planet cause?
But he never expected!
This 'small wave' in his eyes had actually stirred up a stormy sea sufficient to overturn his entire Wang Family in such a short time!
"It seems you still remember me,"
Su Jue mocked.
"Then, you must also be curious."
"Where did your other ancestor go?"
As he spoke...
He controlled human emperor no. 1, extending a giant metal finger to point at the nearby space that was still slightly distorted.
"Him."
"He's right there."
"I just sent him to a... very nice place."
"If you miss him, I don't mind sending all of you there to keep him company."
Wang Daolin looked in the direction he pointed.
When he saw that spatial ripple, as a Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer Peak, he instantly understood what it represented!
That was... the trace left behind only after space had been torn apart or even annihilated by extreme power!
Combined with Ancestor Wang Yan's shattered Life Tablet... a guess that made his scalp tingle and his whole body go cold surged into his mind!
"You... what did you do to... Ancestor Wang Yan?!"
Wang Daolin's voice had completely changed its tone due to fear and anger!
"I said it."
"I sent him on his way."
Su Jue's tone was nonchalant.
As if he hadn't just crushed a King Realm expert, but an insignificant ant.
"Now, it's your turn."
"I'll give you two choices."
"First, immediately, right now, transfer the ownership of K-7 Planet and all industries related to 'source crystal ore veins' under your Wang Family's name to me."
"Second..."
Su Jue paused.
He controlled human emperor no. 1 and slowly raised its right arm.
The muzzle of that Gravitational Collapse Cannon, which had just devoured Wang Yan, lit up with black lightning again.
The muzzle was aimed at... Ancestor Miao, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"...I will send him on his way as well, right in front of all of you."
"Then, I'll go to your Wang Family's Ancestral Planet and have a... good chat with you."
"Choose."
"I'll only give you ten minutes."
"?!"
Ten minutes!
Only ten minutes?!
Su Jue's words echoed like a final judgment in the deathly silent meeting hall of the Wang Family.
Every high-ranking member of the Wang Family felt like their heart was about to explode!
Transfer K-7 Planet?
Transfer all 'source crystal ore vein' industries?!
This was fucking asking for the Wang Family's life!
The 'source crystal ore veins' were the most important economic pillar of their Wang Family! They accounted for more than seventy percent of the family's total income!
Once lost, their Wang Family would instantly fall from the ranks of the Federation's top clans! They might even... become second or third-rate!
This felt worse than killing them!
