  “By the way, are you sure everyone’s dead?” Xi Guang suddenly asked.

  If Fang Ao and the others were all confirmed dead, and there wasn’t anyone in Zhou Yuan’s hands, they could fabricate the facts as they wished. No matter what, they couldn’t admit that Fang Ao and the others had secretly plotted to assassinate Zhou Yuan.

  “From what I heard from Zhu Lian, they should have all died. There were five people who followed Fang Ao to assassinate Zhou Yuan, and among them, two were disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. I have confirmed that their spirit jade tablets have both cracked, and I believe the other three have also suffered the same ending.

  “Also, if they are alive, Zhou Yuan will certainly bring them back. At that time we can find a chance to kill them ourselves before they open their mouths. No matter how smart Zhou Yuan might be, there is no way he would know we would be waiting for him outside the teleportation boundary.”

  Xi Guang nodded, a sinister, cold light flickering in his eyes.

  As Xi Guang stopped speaking, Lu Xiao also fell silent, but his eyes were fixed in the direction of the teleportation boundary.

  Time passed gradually, but neither of them was impatient. They waited quietly, like wolves waiting for prey.

  The teleportation boundary flashed brightly in front of Zhou Yuan’s eyes, and the majestic and pure Genesis Qi of the Tianyuan Region poured in from their surroundings.

  “We’re finally going back,” Ye Bingling’s relieved voice sounded in his ears.

  Zhou Yuan nodded with a smile. He glanced at Ye Bingling, Shang Xiaoling and the others who were beside him, then lifted his foot and stepped into the teleportation boundary. “Let’s return to the Wind Pavilion first.”

  Ye Bingling, Shang Xiaoling and the others nodded and followed after him.

  Around the teleportation boundary, people were coming and going in an endless stream.

  Two figures quietly blended into the stream of people and rapidly approached Zhou Yuan. Their footwork techniques were extremely mysterious, and with just a few steps they were already a few feet from Zhou Yuan. Genesis Qi pulsed in the palm of their hands, aiming for Zhou Yuan’s body.

  Their attacks were so bizarre that they didn’t even cause the slightest fluctuation of Genesis Qi between heaven and earth.

  But when they neared him, the Spirit between Zhou Yuan’s eyebrows suddenly quivered, and in the next instant, a sharp and hoarse voice rang out.

  "Be careful, pavilion master!"

  A petite figure flashed out from Zhou Yuan’s side, thrusting her palm towards the mysterious figures.

  The petite figure was Shang Xiaoling!

  Although she didn’t have powerful Spirit perception like Zhou Yuan, she was used to drifting between life and death and possessed a beast-like intuition towards danger. Therefore, she charged out instinctively the moment Zhou Yuan detected something with his Spirit.

  Bang!

  Shang Xiaoling’s complexion changed greatly during the collision. That mighty and violent Genesis Qi had directly shattered the Genesis Qi within her body. A jet of blood spurted from her mouth, and her petite figure blasted back, slamming into a stone pillar on the street.

  “Xiaoling!”

  The sudden change made Ye Bingling and the others recover from the shock, and they immediately yelled out.

  “Who are you? How dare you attack someone of our Wind Pavilion in the Tianyuan Utopia!” Ye Bingling thundered.

  But the two figures simply frowned slightly. They hadn’t expected that the task they viewed as very easy would be thwarted by an ordinary girl. They looked at each other, didn’t speak, and then shot out toward Zhou Yuan like ghosts.

  They needed to capture Zhou Yuan before information regarding the matter was made known!

  Like an icehouse, the powerful fluctuation of Genesis Qi within their bodies made Ye Bingling, Xiao Hong and the others freeze, because the group found that the two people were experts of the Heavenly Sun stage!

  Why would there be experts of the Heavenly Sun stage attacking them in the Tianyuan Utopia?

  “Zhou Yuan quickly leave, they’re coming for you!” Ye Bingling yelled anxiously. “Stop them, they won’t dare to kill here!” This sentence was directed at Xiao Hong and the others.

  When her voice faded, she charged out first to try to stop the opponent. Xiao Hong and the others also gritted their teeth and rushed over.

  “Get lost!”

  The two Heavenly Sun experts seemed irritated. Terrifying Genesis Qi erupted from their bodies and blasted Ye Bingling and the others away.

  At this moment, a commotion also broke out around the teleportation boundary, which was obviously caused by their movements.

  Zhou Yuan’s face darkened when he saw what was happening. A thought flashed to his mind, and he immediately understood their purpose. He slammed his feet against the ground and shot skywards like a bolt of lightning.

  The two Heavenly Sun experts quickly chased after him.

  Zhou Yuan rushed across the void, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He drew a deep breath. Then, a thunderous voice resounded throughout the world, “The Heavenly Spirit Sect has rebelled!

  “The Heavenly Spirit Sect wants to kill the pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion!

  “The Heavenly Spirit Sect is going to betray the Tianyuan Region!”

  The thunderous voice rang across the world, spreading everywhere, and everyone who heard it wore a blank look on their faces. They were evidently frightened by what was happening.

  The two Heavenly Sun experts were equally shocked, and they almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

  How dare that bastard spread nonsense!

  Every sentence he said was more vicious and cruel than the last!

  However, no matter how enraged they were, when Zhou Yuan’s terrified voice spread out, countless people looked in his direction. From the looks of it, even the Tianyuan Region’s law enforcement would soon arrive.

  Bang!

  On a tall building, Xi Guang’s face turned livid with rage. He slapped the railing in front of him to smithereens. “Those two trash, they created such a huge commotion from just trying to kill a little boy of the Divine Dwelling stage!”

  Lu Xiao’s face also darkened. “Zhou Yuan is really cunning. Half the Tianyuan Utopia heard his cry!”

  “Hmph, the ant is just struggling. When he dies, everything will settle!”

  “Do you really think I would afraid to do anything after you make a scene? You really underestimate me, Xi Guang!”

  Xi Guang’s eyes glinted with malice, and he instantly vanished.

  This expert of the Nascent Source stage had been forced to take action himself!

  Chapter 846 Law Domain takes action

  Swoosh!

  Three silhouettes flashed across the sky, producing a sharp whistle of wind.

  Zhou Yuan had increased his speed to the extreme, but even so, he still felt the two figures rapidly nearing him. At the moment, he needed to not only get rid of the two Heavenly Sun experts but also buy time.

  How could he not guess that the assassination was connected to the Fire Pavilion and the Heavenly Spirit Sect? Previously, he never would have thought they would be so crazy since their actions would no doubt lead to public anger. Even the Heavenly Spirit Sect couldn’t withstand something like that, right?

  Thoughts flashed across Zhou Yuan’s mind, and the next moment, his expression suddenly changed dramatically because he felt the space around him become sticky, and his speed sharply slowed. He felt like a mosquito trapped in amber.

  “Void solidification? Nascent Source stage experts?!” Zhou Yuan’s face was stricken with horror.

  In order to deal with him, a Divine Dwelling stage expert, they had actually sent out experts of the Nascent Source stage? Did they have any shame?

  The void in front of Zhou Yuan rippled, and a silver-robed figure emerged. Terrifying pressure spread outward, pressing Zhou Yuan to the point his bones creaked
as if they were about to shatter.

  “You’re just a little pavilion master, but you dare slander my Heavenly Spirit Sect. No one can protect you today!”

  The silver-robed figure’s eyes were icy cold as he thrust out his palm. It appeared to be a casual palm, but it unexpectedly contained the aura of death. If his palm strike succeeded, even Zhou Yuan’s spirit would be eliminated on the spot.

  Countless watching eyes were filled with shocked disbelief.

  “That’s Xi Guang, the hall master of the Silver Light Hall!”

  “What’s going on? Why is hall master Xi Guang attacking the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master?”

  “Is the Heavenly Spirit Sect really going to rebel?”

  “How is that possible?”

  “---”

  In the distance, there were many fierce silhouettes rushing over. They were the law enforcement guards of the Tianyuan Utopia. They roared in anger, “Stop!”

  Although hall master Xi Guang was well known to be ill-mannered, it was against the law to attack someone in the Tianyuan Utopia!

  But even with the furious roars of the law enforcement guards, Xi Guang’s eyes simply flashed as though he didn’t hear them. He slammed his palm down even more fiercely. He had already attacked Zhou Yuan, so only when Zhou Yuan was killed would the matter be minimised. Otherwise, if Zhou Yuan survived, he could frantically bite back at him, which would be even more troublesome.

  The palm enveloped in the aura of death rapidly grew before Zhou Yuan, and an intense smell of death tensed up his entire body.

  “Om!”

  But just when the palm of death was only a few feet away from Zhou Yuan, an indescribable wave of energy rippled across the sky. Then, Zhou Yuan found that Xi Quang seemed to have frozen in front of him.

  Additionally, the terrifying Genesis Qi gathered in Xi Guang’s palm dissipated without his control. The mighty and endless Genesis Qi in his body also seemed to have been completely sealed, and he could no longer operate them.

  “Law Domain?!”

  A horrified look came to Xi Guang’s face. At this moment, he was like trash without any Genesis Qi. And to make him, an expert of the Nascent Source stage, become like this could only be achieved by an omnipotent existence such as a Law Domain expert!

  A Law Domain expert of the Tianyuan Region had taken action?

  His palm that was previously enveloped in frightening Genesis Qi slammed towards the top of Zhou Yuan’s head, but there was only a gentle sound, and the feeling was similar to patting Zhou Yuan on the head.

  Feeling the palm stroking his head, Zhou Yuan was also stunned. A strength of that level couldn’t even break his scalp.

  What’s going on?

  Although puzzled, Zhou Yuan reflexively lifted his leg and kicked the face of Xi Guang, who seemed to be frozen in front of him.

  A black footprint appeared on Xi Guang’s face.

  And he was sent flying by Zhou Yuan’s kick.

  Xi Guang quickly steadied his body and almost erupted in anger. In front of so many people, someone of the Divine Dwelling stage had kicked the hall master of the Silver Light Hall in the face!

  But just as he was about to charge towards Zhou Yuan in fury, a clear voice suddenly resounded throughout the world.

  “How can a hall master of the Heavenly Spirit Sect do whatever he wants in the Tianyuan Utopia? Are you treating the rules made by my master, the supreme sovereign, as nothing?”

  Hearing the clear and indifferent voice, Xi Guang immediately turned pale. He trembled all over and abruptly lifted his head to see a slender figure in the void. The bright burgundy hair and the heroic appearance directly revealed her identity.

  “Pay respect to the grand elder Chi Jing!”

  On the Little Yuan Island below, countless figures bowed respectfully.

  “Lady Chi Jing.” Xi Guang also hurriedly gave a cupped fist salute. He never expected a grand elder to show up so quickly, let alone why this kind of matter would attract the attention of a grand elder!

  Isn’t it enough for law enforcement guards to come?

  Chi Jing stared at Xi Guang, anger flashing in the depths of her eyes. Zhou Yuan and her had both practiced the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method, so their Spirits were connected in a special way. This was the reason why she was able to detect that Zhou Yuan’s Spirit was violently rippling and came right away.

  If Zhou Yuan hadn’t practiced the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method, Xi Guang would have gotten what he wanted.

  “Do you, hall master Xi Guang, want to explain what you were doing? If you break the rules, even if you’re a hall master of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, you will still be punished today,” Chi Jing uttered coldly.

  Xi Guang quickly wanted to speak.

  However, Zhou Yuan was the first to shout out, “Lady Chi Jing, a few days ago, I was out on a mission and was attacked by deputy pavilion master Fang Ao and a few others. Then today, hall master Xi Guang tried to assassinate me. He sees the rules set by supreme sovereign Cang Yuan as nothing, which is equivalent to rebelling. I suspect that the Silver Light Hall intends to defame the Heavenly Spirit Sect and betray the Tianyuan Region. I hope Lady Chi Jing will understand!”

  Hearing his words, countless people gasped out loud.

  Xi Guang’s face darkened with anger. “What nonsense. Lady Chi Jing, Zhou Yuan murdered his fellow colleagues, and he killed my disciple Fang Ao. I only wanted to capture him to find out the reason!”

  “You both have your own sides of the story, so I won’t deal with this matter for now. But you, hall master Xi Guang, have violated the rules of the Tianyuan Utopia, and this was witnessed by everyone. You have to be punished for your crime.”

  She stretched out her slender finger, pointing to Xi Guang.

  Immediately, a chain of Genesis Qi formed and directly tightened around Xi Guang’s body. Chained by Genesis Qi, even Xi Guang, an expert of the Nascent Source stage, couldn’t put up any resistance.

  Zhou Yuan let out a gasp of astonishment. When Xi Guang attacked him, even his imposing manner alone had almost crushed him. But now Xi Guang was like a child in front of his senior sister Chi Jing, waiting to be punished.

  An expert of the Law Domain was indeed terrifying.

  Xi Guang was enraged that Chi Jing had directly restrained him, but he didn’t dare to scold her and had no choice but to suppress his anger. “Lady Chi Jing, I’m not satisfied with how this matter is being dealt with. I want to see sect master Xuan Kun!”

  “Don’t worry, I’ve already sent someone to inform him. I also want to hear how sect master Xuan Kun would punish someone who has violated the rules set by supreme sovereign Cang Yuan in the Tianyuan Utopia.”

  The corners of Xi Guang’s mouth twitched slightly. He didn’t understand why Chi Jing, who was relatively gentle in the past, would have such a huge reaction this time.

  Did she really want to create a bad relationship with the Heavenly Spirit Sect because of a little pavilion master from the Wind Pavilion?

  He couldn’t figure out what Chi Jing was thinking, and he dared not say anything more. He could only stay quiet.

  With their silence, the atmosphere turned incredibly tense, and many sensitive people had faintly noticed that the day’s event would cause quite a stir.

  The silence lasted for a good while. The void rippled, and then a thin old man appeared under countless awed eyes. Following his appearance, the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth became increasingly heavy.

  Sect master Xuan Kun, one of the five grand elders of Tianyuan region, had appeared.

  Chapter 847 Distorting the Truth

  When the thin old man appeared in the void, countless people respectfully bowed with a look of awe.

  “We pays our respects to grand elder Xuan Kun.”

  Sect master Xuan Kun gave a wave of his hand and cast his abyss-like eyes onto Xi Guang. He wrinkled his brows. “Xi Guang, when did you forget the rules?”
>
  Hall master Xi Guang lowered his head, muttering, “Sect master, I—”

  “My Heavenly Spirit Sect is one of the leaders of the Tianyun Region. As leaders, if we disregard the rules, how can we control the vast Tianyuan Region?” sect master Xuan Kun said.

  Zhou Yuan lowered his head with a frown. Sect master Xuan Kun was indeed not someone easy to deal with. He appeared to be reprimanding hall master Xi Guang, but he was also highlighting the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s status. This was to tell Zhou Yuan’s senior sister Chi Jing that his Heavenly Spirit Sect was also in his charge of the Tianyuan Region and that she couldn’t punish people of his Heavenly Spirit Sect without approval.

  Sect master Xuan Kun turned to Chi Jing and smiled. “Grand elder Chi Jing, Xi Guang was indeed too reckless, and you’re right to teach him a lesson.”

  “Sect master Xuan Kun, I’m afraid today’s matter can’t be simply let off with the reason of recklessness. A high and mighty Nascent Source expert attempted to assassinate the master of a pavilion. He is guilty of a terrible crime,” Chi Jing responded indifferently.

  Zhou Yuan was nearly killed here, but sect master Xuan Kun thought Xi Guang could be let off with a simple reprimanding?

  Sect master Xuan Kun glanced at Zhou Yuan, who didn’t say a word. “I have been made aware of the reason for the incident, and the source of this incident should be that the pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion killed Xi Guang’s disciple, isn’t that right?

  “If you really want to talk about the rules, the crime of murdering fellow colleagues should be punished with banishment from the Tianyuan Region.

  “Xi Guang should be punished for his recklessness, but you also mustn’t let the ruthless master of the Wind Pavilion go so lightly.”

  Zhou Yuan cursed inwardly when he heard the old man slandering him, but he still respectfully responded, “Sect master Xuan Kun, I didn’t intend to kill Fang Ao, but he had set a trap to kill me when I was out on a mission. In the end, in order to protect myself, I had no choice but to do so.”

  Sect master Xuan Kun smiled. “But this is just your side of the story.”
