202: Chapter 202 For Humanity!

Upon hearing Lu Qingyun's impassioned speech, the entire audience fell silent.

After a long while.

"Ahem—!"

Master Ming stood up, his gaze fixed directly on Lu Qingyun.

He spoke, "Lu Qingyun, there is no need to hide anymore."

"We have thoroughly investigated the events of the past. Everything was the work of the Devil Head from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and it has nothing to do with you."

"The national arrest warrant against you has been completely withdrawn. From now on, you no longer need to live under a false identity."

Hearing this, Lu Qingyun let out a scoff.

He stopped pretending and walked openly toward Master Ming.

"Your efficiency is truly remarkable."

"You hunted me for so long, yet only after I secured the entire Legacy do I suddenly regain my innocence."

"I really must thank you. However, why does it look to me like this old man... is still posturing to strike me down with a thunderous killing blow at any moment?"

"I fear that once the Legacy is handed over, the only path left for me will be death."

Beside him, Qin Cang's movements stiffened.

He did indeed have such intentions.

To him, the evil cult... was nothing but a group of destabilizing factors!

Regardless of the reason, once someone joins an evil cult, and possesses the Prodigy talent sufficient to obtain the entire Legacy, if they are not eradicated early...

I fear it won't be long before they become completely unstoppable!

By then, not only would there be an additional lawless Devil Head among humanity, but there would also be an existence equal to, or perhaps even... surpassing him in status!

How could he accept that!?

However... right now, he certainly couldn't admit it.

"Impossible!"

Before Qin Cang could speak, Master Ming firmly denied it, "Saint Qin is dedicated solely to the continuation of humanity. Moreover... your innocence is because we ordered the Dharma Form Grandmaster guarding Lanchuan Province to go and help Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan sort out his Divine Intent."

"Now, Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan has not only awakened and recounted what happened at that time, but his future Dao path is also clear and smooth. He only needs to proceed steadily to enter the Divine Intent Realm. Therefore, from beginning to end... this has all been a misunderstanding! Now, the misunderstanding has been cleared up."

"You have always been a part of humanity! Furthermore, humanity will always remember your contributions!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingyun couldn't even be bothered to lift his eyelids.

It sounded so pleasant, but the actual solution was just having a Dharma Form Grandmaster make a move.

But why didn't they act before this?

It was simple: they were just a bunch of ants. Whether they lived or died, or were wrongly accused, what was there to care about?

If he hadn't grown up, this so-called misunderstanding would never have been cleared up.

But... he had already grown up!

What the hell was the point of clearing it up now!!

"Sorry, I can no longer turn back."

"Besides, what I hate most is an apology after the fact!!!"

Lu Qingyun's face was cold.

Just as he was about to shout the word "Kill" three times to stun the entire audience, he suddenly thought...

"If you want the Legacy, it's not impossible."

"But I worked hard to retrieve this Legacy; it wouldn't be right for you to just take it without paying anything, would it?"

Lu Qingyun rubbed his chin, a strange look flickering in his eyes.

Hearing this, Master Ming looked at Qin Cang.

Obviously, he didn't have the qualifications to negotiate terms.

Qin Cang's serious expression also softened slightly; as long as there was something to negotiate, it was fine.

He was afraid that this guy would be as stubborn as a mule. If he adamantly refused to give the Legacy, there really wouldn't be any good way to deal with it.

After all, he knew what had happened before.

Although Lu Qingyun had only just stepped into the Dharma Aspect Realm, his combat power was far beyond that of an ordinary Dharma Form Grandmaster.

He even dared to go head-to-head with a Beast Emperor comparable to the Saint-Entering Stage.

If it came to capturing him alive, he wasn't confident...

"Everything is a contribution to humanity."

Originally, Qin Cang wanted to habitually spout a few words, but upon seeing Lu Qingyun's impatient expression, he immediately shut his mouth.

He said again, "What do you want?"

"This thing."

Lu Qingyun took out the star stone and showed it to him.

He had just asked The Skinny Old Man inside the Ancient Tower and learned that this item was one of the essential resources for advancing to a Stellar-level life form.

In other words, this star stone could be considered a Saint-Grade cultivation resource.

He was still only in the Dharma Aspect Realm and couldn't absorb it yet.

But it would be soon...

After all, the request he was making wasn't just this one!

"Meteorite fragment?"

A flash of light appeared in Qin Cang's cloudy eyes.

He was naturally extremely familiar with this item.

Because for this thing, China had forcibly lost a Saint-Entering Stage existence!

That meteorite from seven hundred years ago created the current Martial Arts era.

So, over a hundred years ago, after they discovered the location of the meteorite, they snuck in and took a portion, wanting to use technology to investigate the mysteries contained within and thereby continue the path of martial arts.

However, for so long, they had gained nothing.

That was why they used it as a reward for the Martial Arts Tournament, as a mere trinket.

Of course, the more important reason was... he had a bigger piece!

He carried it with him to nourish his Soul.

"There is only this one meteorite fragment. For this fragment, we paid a huge price."

Qin Cang shook his head, his aged expression revealing a sense of sadness.

He was unwilling to hand it over.

Since it could be specifically mentioned by Lu Qingyun, it must be extraordinary.

Naturally, he was reluctant to part with it.

"So, there's no room for negotiation?"

Lu Qingyun's gaze was calm as he stared at Qin Cang.

He didn't know if this old thing had a star stone on him.

But that was not within the scope of his considerations.

If he didn't have one, then he would just go and get another one!

He didn't care what the cost was; adults don't look at the process, they only want the results!

Beside them, Master Ming saw Lu Qingyun's impatient expression and was just about to explain.

"This..."

Bang—!!

A terrifying giant hammer, like a mountain, suddenly appeared and slammed directly into Master Ming!

The terrifying force instantly blasted him away!

He was buried deep into the earth, his body shattered, and his aura weak.

This sudden change made the other four Dharma Form Grandmasters look at Lu Qingyun with vigilance, fearing that he might strike again.

But Lu Qingyun simply put his weapon away, his face calm as usual.

Looking at the calm, motionless Qin Cang, a smile rose on his face as he said:

"I don't know why, but there are always some ants who like to buzz in my ears. They really can't tell what their level is."

"Much better now..."

"Since you agreed to the first request I just made, I will start stating the second one."
