Chapter 255

255. Chapter 252: You killed? Let me see it.

"Feng Jiao bows to City Master Xin. These two caused trouble here; we tried to stop them, but they launched a surprise attack and killed three of our people."

The middle-aged woman, seeing the newcomer, hurried forward and bowed deeply, her voice filled with grief and outrage.

It was her own people who launched the ambush, yet she claimed it was Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong who attacked.

Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong were crushed under overwhelming pressure, their faces pale, unable to move a muscle.

Both men recognized the newcomer: Xin Can, the first city master of the Two Worlds City.

Xin Can was also the head of the Zhushi Alliance of the Xiujie Sect, second only in status to the alliance's supreme leader, Hu Wuxin.

"How bold of you to enforce justice within Two Worlds City's guild hall. Which sect do you belong to?"

Xin Can stared at the two, though he asked where they came from, he had already marked them as dead men.

If he let these killers go unpunished here, how could he possibly continue as city master?

Shen Jiankai finally sensed a slight gap in the spatial pressure and spoke at top speed:

"City Master Xin, I am Shen Jiankai, this is my junior brother Zhu Feichong—we both come from Lanxing Sect."

"My junior brother obtained a Transcendence Token, but she refused to let us leave and led others to attack us first—we only fought back."

In fact, the moment Shen Jiankai uttered "Lanxing Sect," Xin Can immediately regretted intercepting these two.

Lanxing Sect itself wasn't terrifying—it was their sect master, Ding Huan, who was terrifying.

Letting these two go might not make his position as city master any harder.

He could say the laws hadn't been finalized yet; if it happens again, he'd show no mercy. This time, he'd take them away and secretly release them…

Just as Xin Can was deciding how to downplay the matter, a sudden voice rang out:

"So what if they're from Lanxing Sect? Does that mean they can kill without restraint?"

Feng Jiao's heart leapt at those words.

She had just been ready to let Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong go—because of this voice, she decided to keep them, and now three were dead.

"If it isn't Master Lu. Long time no see."

Xin Can saw the newcomer and thought inwardly: What's this guy up to?

Logically, Lu Yuan, as head of the Dao Cultivation Guild, shouldn't interfere in Two Worlds City's affairs.

The newcomer was indeed Lu Yuan. He bowed respectfully and said solemnly:

"City Master Xin, the Transcendence Platform is no ordinary place—it's a vital gateway for Dao Cultivation World cultivators to reach the Transcendence Realm."

"If anyone can kill here—even kill Two Worlds City Guild guards—won't everything fall into chaos?"

"Master Lu speaks truly. If this matter isn't handled properly, the consequences will be severe." A deep voice spoke after Lu Yuan.

Xin Can quickly bowed:

"Greetings, City Master Mo. I've only just arrived and don't yet know the full details."

Had this happened before his meeting with Hu Wuxin, Xin Can would have unquestionably ordered Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong seized immediately.

But Hu Wuxin had warned him: Ding Huan is no ordinary man—and precisely because he's so dangerous, the Xiujie Sect Alliance stayed out of the Zixia Valley dispute.

As Hu Wuxin predicted, three sects entered the Zixia Valley contest; two of their sect masters died, and one sect was wiped out entirely.

As for the sole survivor, Wan Shou Men, it was obvious they had paid an enormous price just to survive.

To provoke such a sect? Xin Can wasn't stupid—he wouldn't dare.

"City Master Xin, if there's any issue, I, Lu Yuan, am willing to intervene. I refuse to believe that even on the Transcendence Platform, we cannot act fairly and justly."

Lu Yuan added firmly.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xin Can fell silent.

He knew better than anyone what Lu Yuan was: selfish, ruthless, and a killer without mercy.

If anyone believed Lu Yuan would act selflessly for Two Worlds City, even pigs wouldn't believe it.

Not just Xin Can—even Mo Zheng sensed something odd in Lu Yuan's words. Given Lu Yuan's nature, he shouldn't have said such a thing.

"Hahahaha…" A loud laugh echoed.

Immediately, Xin Can saw Hu Wuxin arrive with a woman. Xin Can was overjoyed—Hu Wuxin's arrival meant everything was manageable.

Hu Wuxin bowed:

"City Master Mo, you've worked hard these past days. Master Lu, what wind blew you here?"

The moment he arrived, he sensed Lu Yuan's qi was unstable—he was injured.

In the Dao Cultivation World, who could injure Lu Yuan?

Mo Zheng and Lu Yuan quickly greeted him:

Hu Wuxin's cultivation was slightly higher than theirs, and he was regarded as the de facto top figure in the Dao Cultivation World—basic courtesy was expected.

Hu Wuxin asked:

"What happened?"

Lu Yuan took the initiative, pointing at Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong:

"These two Foundation Establishment cultivators are arrogant and violent—they openly killed three Foundation Establishment guards of the Two Worlds City Guild."

Hu Wuxin immediately sensed something was off. First, Lu Yuan was no good man—why was he so eager to explain?

Second, if two Foundation Establishment cultivators had killed Three Guild guards, they should already be under control.

Why were they still standing there unharmed? Something was clearly wrong.

Before Hu Wuxin could question Xin Can, the woman beside him let out a cold snort:

"Such disruptors of the Two Worlds' order—what use are they? Kill them."

Lu Yuan was delighted—he knew Ding Huan would arrive soon, so he had to act fast.

If Hu Wuxin killed these two Lanxing Sect disciples, Hu Wuxin would be forced to side with him.

"And this one is?" Xin Can asked proactively.

Lu Yuan was furious inside. No wonder you, Xin Can, are still only at late-stage Primordial Soul — you go about things in such a wishy-washy way.

As the City Lord of Two Realms City, you should have killed those two ants of the Blue Star Sect first before asking questions.

Hu Wuxin let out a laugh, completely unconcerned with the urgency of the matter, and unhurriedly made the introduction:

"Let me introduce everyone. This is Fairy Cen Fengqin, from the Changyuan Sword Dao of the Ascension Realm. She is of the same clan as Senior Cen Huan, a Fairy who has reached Perfected Earth Immortal."

Upon hearing she was from the Changyuan Sword Dao, everyone hurriedly bowed in salute.

Not to mention that Cen Huan of the Changyuan Sword Dao was a Perfected Earth Immortal — even just for the name of the Changyuan Sword Dao itself, no one dared slight Cen Fengqin.

"I very much agree with Fellow Daoist Cen's words. As for these two scoundrels who disrupted the order of the Two Realms, everyone has the right to punish them.

In that case, let me, Lu Yuan, contribute some effort on behalf of Two Realms City and kill these two ferocious scoundrels."

Lu Yuan brought up the old topic again. He knew that if Hu Wuxin were not here, he could still fool Xin Can into killing.

But since Hu Wuxin had come, even with Cen Fengqin supporting the killing, Hu Wuxin absolutely would not just let it end with a simple kill.

Seeing that Lu Yuan was about to make a move to kill, Hu Wuxin was about to stop him.

He was not like Xin Can — whether the matter had been clarified or not was not important.

What mattered was the true identity of these two disciples. As long as it had not been clarified, he absolutely would not allow anyone to die on his turf.

But before he could even make his move, he heard a contemptuous voice arrive:

"If you've got the guts, then kill them and let this young master see."

Lu Yuan's heart sank. He knew Ding Huan had come.

Hu Wuxin had never met Ding Huan, but he guessed the same — it must be Ding Huan who had come.

In the entire Dao Cultivation Realm, only one person would dare speak to Lu Yuan like that and be so young — no one besides Ding Huan.

"Is your Blue Star Sect always this arrogant and domineering? Can it only allow your Blue Star Sect's disciples to casually kill people here, even breaking the rules of the Ascension Platform?

I, Lu Yuan, am not convinced. So what if I kill them?"

Lu Yuan shouted out loudly, and at the same time took a step forward. Killing intent suffused his body, his aura terrifying.

"Alliance Leader…"

Seeing Lu Yuan step forward to champion Two Realms City, Xin Can sent a voice transmission to Hu Wuxin.

Hu Wuxin snorted coldly and glared at Xin Can.

Xin Can understood and immediately stopped talking.

Mo Zheng sensed something was off. Earlier, when Lu Yuan had gone to find him, he had said the Blue Star Sect was far too domineering — they had killed over a thousand people at Zi Yuan Zhongshan and were forcefully trying to strip them of it.

Now it seemed that it was Ding Huan who had chased Lu Yuan all the way here?

He and Lu Yuan were in the same boat — both beneficiaries of Zi Yuan Zhongshan.

In that case, should he come out and help?

"Sect Leader!" Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong saw Ding Huan arrive and were overjoyed, hurrying to rush over to his side.

As Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong rushed toward Ding Huan, Hu Wuxin did not make a move, Xin Can did not make a move — the only one who could stop them was Lu Yuan.

But Lu Yuan did not dare move. He felt Ding Huan's killing intent enveloping him. The moment he dared to move, Ding Huan would drag him into the Killing Space in the next instant.

"You, Lu Yuan, aren't you unconvinced? Come on. Let's see where you can run to now?" With a flick of Ding Huan's hand, the Farewell Spear whipped up a violent killing momentum.

Cen Fengqin, who had been about to speak, felt this killing momentum and instinctively held her tongue.

She could not believe it — looking at Ding Huan's killing momentum, even if she made a move herself, she would probably only end up being killed.

How could there still be such a powerful Void God Realm cultivator in the Dao Cultivation Realm?

"You seized my Zi Yuan Zhongshan, blasted open my protective array, and killed people like flies. Whether you're convinced or not, you remember this — today is your death anniversary."

As Ding Huan spoke, he took a step forward, and the Farewell Spear in his hand blasted toward Lu Yuan.

"City Lord Mo, please lend a hand. This person absolutely will not let it rest here."

Seeing that Cen Fengqin of the Ascension Realm showed no intention of acting, and that Hu Wuxin would not act, Lu Yuan hurriedly called out to Mo Zheng.

"Sect Leader Ding, let's discuss this matter properly. After all, regarding Zi Yuan Zhongshan earlier…"

Ding Huan's Farewell Spear did not pause for even half a moment. At this moment, Lu Yuan could only feel an overwhelming aura of death crushing down on him.

What "discuss properly"? This Lu Yuan today must be killed without a doubt.

Lu Yuan's heart sank, and he summoned his Twin Dry Shovels.

Boom! Violent primordial force exploded on the spot, and the watching crowd hastily retreated.

Lu Yuan had already been seriously injured, and had even burned his essence blood. At this point, his strength was not even half of what it had been.

When his strength was completely undamaged, he was no match for Ding Huan — naturally, the gap was even wider now.

Lu Yuan knew that to survive, he could only dodge this one attack from Ding Huan, and then beg Cen Fengqin to act.

His essence blood burned once more, and the Twin Dry Shovels split from one to two, two to three…

A crack seemed to appear in Ding Huan's killing-momentum space. Just as Lu Yuan thought he was about to successfully tear open Ding Huan's killing-momentum space, his divine ability domain was struck by a vortex of killing momentum.

Not again! Despair welled up in Lu Yuan's heart, and he roared even more frantically:

"Mo Zheng, Zi Yuan Zhongshan wasn't something I alone acted on — you had a hand in it too. Why aren't you making a move…"
