88: Chapter 88 Crisis Resolved, the Desperate He Family

The gaze returned to the Secret Realm.

As Di Yun and the others took action,

the remaining Alien Race members didn't last long before nearly all were killed.

The only ones who managed to escape successfully

were let go intentionally by Di Yun.

His purpose was very simple:

to have these survivors spread the news of Zi Ming and the other eight transcendent Alien Race members falling.

Once this news spread,

the other Alien Race members in the Secret Realm would inevitably have their morale collapse and would no longer dare to actively provoke the students.

The leading combat power was gone.

What confidence did they have left to run rampant?

What if some monsters capable of killing transcendent beings popped out among these humans? Wouldn't that be the worst luck imaginable?

And the facts proved this to be true.

As the news of Zi Ming and the others' deaths gradually spread,

the Alien Race members in the Secret Realm clearly became much more obedient.

Let alone actively approaching the students, many even deliberately avoided them, only daring to vent their frustrations on some fierce beasts within the Secret Realm.

The threat within the Secret Realm

could be said to have been completely eliminated at this moment.

Next, all the students inside needed to do was clean up the remaining Alien Race members and wait for the third day to arrive.

...

Outside the Secret Realm at this time.

The He Family.

"Wenguang!"

"My Wenguang!"

"This damned Li Fan! He is deliberately targeting my Wenguang!"

The He Family Head, He Tieshan, completely disregarded the many He Family members watching and wailed while looking at the image on the screen.

He had witnessed He Wenguang's entire situation.

Although He Wenguang's betrayal was indeed difficult for people to accept, and it once caused public outrage, giving him a massive headache,

He Wenguang was only in his twenties; being greedy for life and fearful of death, wasn't that normal?

At the very least, his crime didn't warrant death, right?

What he absolutely could not accept was that the executioner who executed He Wenguang was Li Fan!

Others might not see it,

but how could he not see it?

That final strike was clearly aimed directly at He Wenguang!

Li Fan was taking personal revenge!

"Big Brother, Wenguang died so tragically! It's all because of those damned Alien Race members! And this damned Li Fan!"

"Yes, exactly! Big Brother, we must avenge Wenguang!"

"Revenge is a must! Wenguang was the last hope of our lineage! Now he was actually framed by this Li Fan; this grudge absolutely cannot be tolerated! We must make him pay in blood!"

"Yes! Pay in blood! And those Alien Race members too, if we have a chance in the future, we must take revenge on them as well!"

...

On the side, He Wenguang's uncles were all filled with grief and indignation, and they began clamoring about revenge.

Listening to these words, and seeing Li Fan's triumphant appearance in the image,

He Tieshan also lost his composure, slammed his large hand down, and smashed the table in front of him to pieces.

"This revenge must be taken! Wenguang cannot just die like this! We must seek justice for Wenguang!"

He Tieshan gritted his teeth, his bloodshot eyes filled with killing intent.

As these words fell,

they were quickly echoed by the assembled He Family members.

However,

just as the group was passionately agitated, the appearance of one figure instantly silenced the entire venue.

This arrival was none other than the He Family's sole Saint-level Elder!

"Revenge? What revenge? Look at yourselves now, what kind of state are you in?"

This Saint-level Elder immediately scolded the He Family members upon speaking.

"But..." He Tieshan gritted his teeth and tried to speak, but before he finished, he was mercilessly interrupted.

"But what, but what? Li Fan is at the height of his power now; entering the seed program is already a sure thing. What, do you have the confidence to kill Li Fan under the noses of those people, or manage to hide it from them, to avenge Wenguang?"

As these words were spoken,

the originally high-spirited He Family members all fell silent.

They truly lacked the ability to do so.

Times had changed.

Immediately after, the Saint-level Elder continued speaking,

"I know you are all very upset that Wenguang is dead, and I am equally upset."

"However, before you act, you need to use your brains!"

"Since the last incident, our He Family's influence in Tianlin City has been declining day by day. We cannot afford any more turmoil."

"Wenguang is already dead. Even if we take revenge, he cannot be resurrected. Look forward. It wasn't easy for our He Family to rise from being mere fish sellers to where we are today!"

"Listen to me. Starting tomorrow, all of you should work hard and marry a few more wives. For the He Family to prosper, young blood is indispensable."

"If heaven favors our He Family once more, perhaps another Wenguang can emerge."

Listening to the Saint-level Elder's words,

all the He Family members couldn't help but sigh to the heavens.

Indeed.

What the Elder said was entirely correct.

The current He Family could not withstand any more such turmoil.

However, He Tieshan still clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"The revenge can be set aside."

"But this matter absolutely cannot be let go just like that!"

"I also want Li Fan to taste the pain of losing a loved one!"

He Tieshan spoke in a deep voice, a hint of ferocity showing in his eyes.

Seeing He Tieshan's expression, the Saint-level Elder was about to say something, but He Tieshan preempted him.

"Elder, rest assured. I investigated Li Fan's parents before; they are both useless trash, so this retaliation can be carried out without leaving any trace and will not implicate the He Family!"

Hearing He Tieshan's words, the Elder said nothing more and nodded in tacit approval.

Since it wouldn't implicate the He Family, there was nothing to worry about.

Moreover, he could also see that if He Tieshan wasn't allowed to take this revenge, He Tieshan would probably never be able to let go of He Wenguang's death in this lifetime.

...

The gaze shifted to that mysterious conference room.

After Li Fan annihilated Zi Ming and his group,

the expressions of the people in the conference room had eased considerably.

This incident was of utmost importance.

But fortunately, the casualties were far lower than expected, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

"Li Fan's potential is too great. Perhaps we need to adjust our view on body enhancement-type talents."

"Isn't that right? Since he awakened, it seems to have only been a few months, right?"

"The position of the number one seed must be given to him!"

"I agree! As long as his parents agree, we must bring him in immediately. We cannot let such talent go to waste!"

"Exactly. The matter of the Alien Race is public knowledge now. In a few days, the leadership level should officially announce some more detailed news nationwide."

"At that time, besides the contest between top-tier combat powers, the contest among the younger generation is equally important, perhaps even more so. If Li Fan can be cultivated well, absolutely!"

"Alright, don't get ahead of yourselves. Let's worry about how to account for Old Yang's responsibility first."

"Right, is there any news from Old Yang's side?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon. The energy fluctuation of the Alien Race Hall Master in the Tianxiang Secret Realm is slowly disappearing; he should be fighting with Old Yang."

"Sigh, Old Yang was too hasty. If he had settled down a bit more, perhaps he would have a greater chance of success."
