132: I was wrong!
They're here, all of them!
The Seven Alliances and One Hall, with six Alliance Leaders and the Hall Master, have arrived in Pengcheng.
They are the power holders of Huaxia, and their strength is among the best even on the entire Blue Star!
Besides them, eight Grand Elders and the principals of the Five Great Top Academies emerged from the shattered space.
Looking at Principal Lao Qiyuan, who was heavily injured and his clothes tattered, Lu Yuan felt a sense of awe without fully understanding.
Who could have severely injured the God Emperor Realm Eight-Star Principal?
Furthermore, Lu Yuan was absolutely certain that the Alliance Leaders were not here specifically for him!
"I discovered it long ago," Fu Jingjie said, taking out a new pair of white gloves and putting them on, then patting his dusty clothes.
"You caused such a commotion in Pengcheng; the headquarters should have at least sent a Grand Elder, but instead, Elder Neng came."
Fu Jingjie shook his head.
"This doesn't comply with regulations, so I suspect that only the Supreme Alliance Leader is guarding the Imperial Capital, and the Alliance Leaders, the Hall Master, and even the Grand Elders are not in Huaxia!"
"What did they go to do?" Lu Yuan asked, puzzled.
"Unclear."
Fu Jingjie shrugged.
When he heard what Lao Qiyuan said to Yi Jinsong, especially the word 'resurrection'.
Lu Yuan thought of that God Emperor Realm Expert with Space and Time Attributes.
"I think I've guessed it," Lu Yuan's mind raced.
Yi Jinsong was a subordinate of that God Emperor Realm Expert with Space and Time Attributes, which is why the Principal was so furious.
The Principal most likely knows that expert and has a deep-seated grudge against him!
As for the Alliance Leaders... do they also have a grudge against that God Emperor Realm Expert?
Lu Yuan considered all possibilities.
"Guessed what?" Fu Jingjie asked.
He now had the same mindset as Lu Yuan.
Give up!
Anyway, it's already like this. The Prosperous Headquarters is in ruins, and Xing Wenan is barely clinging to life.
He will bleed to death in no time!
"The Alliance Leaders and Principals are hunting down a person, an expert who has awakened Space and Time Attributes!"
Hiss––
Fu Jingjie gasped, wondering who this person was to provoke so many Alliance Leaders!
Among the Five Great Top Academies, Principal Lao Qiyuan of Pengcheng University is the strongest.
He is a God Emperor Realm Eight-Star, his cultivation level comparable to the Alliance Leaders!
To be able to escape from so many powerful experts, Lu Yuan and Fu Jingjie exchanged a glance.
"That person is a Peak Divine Emperor Realm!"
While Lao Qiyuan was fiercely interrogating Yi Jinsong, Lu Yuan stood before the dying Xing Wenan.
The next second, Tang Jinghui walked over.
"Tang Jinghui, you've taken on a good disciple!" Xing Wenan said with a grin.
He would bleed out and die in two minutes at most.
Like Tang Jinghui's cold poison, it was beyond saving!
"You colluded with the Demon and Monster Races and secretly conspired with the Great Shun Dynasty?" Tang Jinghui's expression was complex; he never expected Xing Wenan to do such a thing.
Xing Wenan burst into wild laughter.
"I know what you're trying to do, make me admit it so Lu Yuan can be innocent?" Xing Wenan's laughter was rampant.
"Impossible, I tell you, impossible!"
Tang Jinghui grew increasingly disappointed in Xing Wenan.
"Do you think I'm that scheming?"
"Junior Brother Lu Yuan, let's see if we can be assigned to the same prison; being cellmates wouldn't be bad," Fu Jingjie chatted with Lu Yuan.
"I heard that Practitioner prisons are also graded, is that true?"
Lu Yuan asked with interest.
"That's right, and you'll also wear spiritual power-restricting handcuffs and ankle cuffs," Fu Jingjie yawned, already imagining life in prison.
Hearing that Xing Wenan was still agonizing over whether resurrecting Shen Jun was right or wrong, Lu Yuan looked at Principal Lao Qiyuan.
"Principal, can that Space and Time Attribute expert resurrect the dead?" Lu Yuan asked.
"He can, but he won't!"
Lao Qiyuan's tone was firm.
Rumble––
Xing Wenan was struck by lightning, his smile freezing at that moment.
"So if you had gone to make the trade back then, you would have surely died by his hand. Master was right to stop you!" Lu Yuan spoke the cruel truth.
Xing Wenan, spitting large mouthfuls of blood, had a pained expression, his chest heaving violently.
When he learned he was about to die by Lu Yuan's hand, Xing Wenan felt no emotionalfluctuation.
But now, Xing Wenan's Dao Heart was shattered, a pain a thousand, ten thousand times worse than death!
He had firmly believed he could resurrect Shen Jun, blaming and resenting Tang Jinghui for stopping him before the trade.
And then he could never find that expert again!
"Hehe." Xing Wenan gave a bitter laugh, raising his hand, wanting to grasp Tang Jinghui.
Tang Jinghui hesitated for a moment upon seeing this, but ultimately went to meet him.
"Jing... Jinghui, if... if I had listened to you back then, would... would we still be like this?" Xing Wenan's expression was full of regret.
His breathing grew more rapid, tears streaming down his face.
"I... I..." Xing Wenan held on with his last breath.
"Don't blame yourself. Shen Jun left a suicide note before he died, and I hid it. He never blamed you, never."
"Also, everyone Lu Yuan killed was colluding with demons and monsters. I have leverage over them, so they had to listen to me."
"It hurts, it really fucking hurts."
Xing Wenan lay on the ground, gazing at the starry sky, uttering his last four words before death.
"I was wrong!"
Xing Wenan, who broke through to Domain Realm Peak at forty-five and was only a sliver away from the Saint Realm, the chairman of Prosperous, lost his breath.
Tang Jinghui was lost in thought, staring intently at Xing Wenan's corpse.
"Where is he? How do you contact him?"
Lao Qiyuan grabbed Yi Jinsong by the collar, like an enraged tiger.
It was hard to imagine that this was the usually smiling, kind Principal of Pengcheng University.
Yi Jinsong, his face covered in scars, merely sneered, ignoring Lao Qiyuan's questions.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Lu Yuan suddenly felt that the two looked very similar.
From their build to their height, and even a slight twitch in their left eye when speaking.
As for their appearance, it was impossible to tell, mainly because Yi Jinsong's face was covered in dense scars, making comparison impossible!
"Look at the mess you've made, kid."
Alliance Leader Chu Yongsheng of the Thunder Alliance said with a smile, then examined Lu Yuan's ten great calamities.
He paused for a few seconds when he looked at Nine Vipers.
"Law Realm Six-Star, much stronger than I was at your age." Chu Yongsheng instantly saw through Lu Yuan's true cultivation level.
"Come visit the Thunder Alliance sometime; you should be able to acquire the Thunder Attribute, right?"
Chu Yongsheng said.
"Ah, aren't you going to arrest me?" Lu Yuan didn't understand Chu Yongsheng's words.
"Who's arresting you? All Practitioners above Transcendent Realm in Prosperous were colluding with demons and monsters, secretly conspiring with the Great Shun Dynasty. They merely died at your hands ahead of time."
"Did you kill anyone below Transcendent Realm?"
Lu Yuan thought about it; indeed, he hadn't.
One thing at a time, he had never intended to harm ordinary people.
Including Prosperous employees, only Prosperous executives were his targets!
Realizing that he was not only innocent but had also rendered meritorious service, Lu Yuan asked a question that caught the attention of all the Alliance Leaders.
"Alliance Leader Chu, why are you pursuing that God Emperor Realm Expert with Space and Time Attributes?"
At these words, Hall Master Shen Duanhong of the Tribunal Hall and Alliance Master Yuan Hongyi Yuan Hongyi of the Wind Rending Alliance suddenly looked up.
The Alliance Leaders were very surprised, surprised that Lu Yuan knew they were hunting someone!
