Chapter 162

"No! You are wrong!"

"The meaning of the 'Heavenly Punishment Division's' existence was never to protect, but to..."

"Destroy!"

"Destroy?!"

Jing Yuan and the others were shocked upon hearing this.

How could this be?!

The "Heavenly Punishment Division" actually exists to destroy the universe?!

Then wouldn't everything they had done before become a joke?!

"You... you are lying!" Yanqing shook his head in disbelief. "My father... he could never..."

"Your father?" The mysterious person sneered. "Do you really understand your father?"

"What do you mean?!" A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Yanqing's heart.

"What do I mean? Go ask him yourself!" As the mysterious person said this, he waved his hand, and a spatial rift suddenly appeared before them.

"This is... a portal to 'Luo Fu'?!" Welt Yang recognized the origin of that spatial rift at a glance, his expression turning incredibly ugly. "You... what exactly are you trying to do?!"

"What am I trying to do? I just want to let you watch a good show..."

He turned to look at Yanqing, saying meaningfully: "Go back, child..."

"Go see what your father... is actually doing..."

Before he could finish speaking, he slammed his palm onto Yanqing's chest, pushing him into the spatial rift.

"Yanqing!"

Jing Yuan and March 7th tried to stop him, but it was already too late.

They could only watch helplessly as Yanqing's figure disappeared into the spatial rift, and then...

The spatial rift slowly closed, as if nothing had ever happened.

"You... what did you do to Yanqing?!" March 7th asked anxiously.

"Rest assured, he won't die yet." The mysterious person said indifferently. "I just sent him back to witness all of this..."

He turned to look at Jing Yuan, saying playfully: "Aren't you curious?"

"Curious about what?" Jing Yuan asked coldly, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Curious about... what your father... is actually doing..."

As the mysterious person said this, he waved his hand again, and another spatial rift appeared before them.

"This portal can send you to the core area of 'Luo Fu'—the 'Tian Shu Pavilion'."

"There, you will see the truth of everything."

"Whether you go or not, decide for yourselves."

Having said this, he ignored Jing Yuan and the others, turned, and walked toward the massive black sphere, his figure gradually disappearing into the darkness....

Jing Yuan and March 7th exchanged glances, both seeing deep shock and doubt in the other's eyes.

They didn't know who this mysterious person was, nor did they know why he was doing this.

But they knew they had to go to the "Tian Shu Pavilion," find Yanqing, and figure out the truth of all this!

Thinking of this, Jing Yuan did not hesitate. He took March 7th's hand and resolutely stepped into the spatial rift.

The world spun, and time and space shifted.

Jing Yuan and March 7th felt their vision blur, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place.

This was a magnificent palace, with carved beams and painted rafters, beautiful and breathtaking, as if it were a legendary celestial palace.

In the center of the palace sat a massive round table, and around it sat over a dozen old men in robes of various colors, possessing an immortal air. Each of them had a solemn expression, seemingly discussing some major event.

And at the very head of the round table sat a middle-aged man wearing golden armor and a jade crown, with a majestic face.

He was the supreme ruler of "Luo Fu"—Jing Yuandao.

"This is..." March 7th looked at the strange yet familiar scene before her, her heart filled with doubt.

"The 'Tian Shu Pavilion'." Jing Yuan looked around and said in a deep voice, "The center of supreme power in 'Luo Fu,' and also... the decision-making place for the entire Xianzhou Alliance."

Although he had never set foot here, the great name of the "Tian Shu Pavilion" was like thunder to his ears.

It is said that the "Tian Shu Pavilion" is located in the core area of "Luo Fu," shrouded in powerful formations year-round, and even internal personnel of "Luo Fu" rarely know its specific location.

And those who can enter the "Tian Shu Pavilion" are all the most powerful and influential big shots in "Luo Fu" and even the entire Xianzhou Alliance.

Jing Yuan never expected that he would have the opportunity to set foot in this legendary place.

"Who goes there?!"

Just then, a majestic voice suddenly rang out in the palace.

Jing Yuan and March 7th were startled and quickly looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that the speaker was a middle-aged man in a cyan robe with a handlebar mustache.

He was the head of the "Tai Bu Division," one of the six divisions of "Luo Fu"—Mr. Tai Bu.

157. 【Betraying the entire 'Luo Fu'?!】

At this very moment, Mr. Tai Bu was looking at Jing Yuan and March 7th in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You... how could you be here?!"

"Mr. Tai Bu, long time no see." Jing Yuan smiled slightly at Mr. Tai Bu, considering it a greeting.

"Long time no see?" Mr. Tai Bu was stunned for a moment before reacting. "You... you are... Jing Yuan?!"

"It is indeed me." Jing Yuan nodded.

"It's really you?!" Mr. Tai Bu became excited, quickly stood up from his seat, walked rapidly to Jing Yuan, and looked him up and down, as if looking at some rare treasure.

"You brat... you're actually still alive! That's great! That's great!"

As he said this, he slapped Jing Yuan's shoulder hard, as if he wanted to shatter him.

Jing Yuan grimaced from the slaps but didn't dare to dodge, only able to smile bitterly while enduring the "enthusiasm" of this elder.

"Ahem..."

Just then, Jing Yuandao, sitting at the head, suddenly coughed, interrupting Mr. Diviner's "enthusiasm."

"Tai Bu, mind your status!"

Although his voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable majesty, causing Mr. Tai Bu to calm down immediately.

"Yes, Great Elder." Mr. Tai Bu quickly restrained his emotions and respectfully returned to his seat.

Jing Yuandao then turned his gaze to Jing Yuan, his eyes complex, yet he didn't show much surprise or joy, as if he had known Jing Yuan would appear.

"Rebellious son, you still know how to come back?!"

He spoke slowly, his voice low and majestic, as if carrying an invisible pressure that made Jing Yuan unable to breathe.

"Father..." Jing Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know where to start.

"Rebellious son! You still know I am your father?!" Jing Yuandao slammed the table, furious. "In your eyes, do you still have me as a father, do you still have 'Luo Fu'?!!"

"I..." Jing Yuan was speechless. He knew that his unauthorized action this time had indeed violated the rules of "Luo Fu" and caused Jing Yuandao to lose face.

"Great Elder, calm your anger!"

"General Jing Yuan is also doing this for the good of 'Luo Fu'!"

"That's right, Great Elder, please calm down!"

The other elders in the "Tian Shu Pavilion" spoke up one after another to mediate upon seeing this.

Jing Yuandao snorted coldly, ignoring the mediation of the crowd, and just stared fixedly at Jing Yuan, the anger in his eyes burning fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow Jing Yuan whole.

The atmosphere was tense, ready to explode at any moment.

Just then, a spatial rift suddenly opened in the center of the palace, and Yanqing stumbled out from it.

"Yanqing!" March 7th quickly stepped forward to support him.

"I'm fine..." Yanqing shook his head and looked up at Jing Yuandao at the head, his eyes filled with anger and disbelief.

"Father! Why did you do this?!"

Yanqing's questioning was like a thunderclap on flat ground, exploding in the "Tian Shu Pavilion," pushing the already tense atmosphere into an even more unpredictable state.

Everyone looked at each other, all looking at Yanqing and Jing Yuandao in shock, their eyes filled with doubt, confusion, and even a hint of fear.

"Yanqing, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

Jing Yuandao's face turned livid. He slammed the table and shouted angrily.

He never expected that Yanqing would say such rebellious words in front of so many people!

"Whether I am spouting nonsense, you know in your heart!" Yanqing looked at Jing Yuandao without fear. "I ask you, why did you collude with the 'Stellaron Hunters' to steal the Stellaron of 'Luo Fu'?!"

"You are slandering me!" Jing Yuandao was trembling with rage. "When did I ever collude with the 'Stellaron Hunters'? You are simply talking nonsense!" ===== CHAPTER 163 =====
