Chapter 171

"Go." "Tian Quan" nodded.

Jing Yuan turned and left, preparing to return to "Luo Fu" to handle the aftermath.

"Wait."

Just then, "Tian Quan" suddenly called out to Jing Yuan.

"Lord 'Tian Quan,' what other orders do you have?!" Jing Yuan turned and asked.

"The spear in your hand..." "Tian Quan" looked at the golden long spear in Jing Yuan's hand, his brows furrowed slightly, and asked, "Where did it come from?!" Force.

170. 【Violated cosmic laws?!】

Jing Yuan's heart surged like a tide. He knew that in this war, the appearance of "Tian Quan" was like a stabilizing force.

"Many thanks to Lord 'Tian Quan' for saving our lives!" Jing Yuan walked to "Tian Quan," bowed deeply, and saluted.

"Young Master is too polite; this is my duty." "Tian Quan" waved his hand, looking at Jing Yuan with appreciation. "Young Master is gifted, and in time, you will surely achieve great things!"

"Many thanks to Lord 'Tian Quan' for the praise; this junior is unworthy." Jing Yuan said modestly.

"Young Master, 'Luo Fu' is waiting to be rebuilt; you should go back and preside over the overall situation." "Tian Quan" said.

"Yes, then this 'Three Five Seven' junior will take his leave." Jing Yuan said, turning to leave.

"Wait." "Tian Quan" suddenly called out to Jing Yuan.

"Lord 'Tian Quan,' what other orders do you have?" Jing Yuan turned and asked.

"The long spear in your hand..." "Tian Quan" looked at the golden long spear in Jing Yuan's hand, his brows furrowed slightly. "Where did it come from?!"

Hearing this, Jing Yuan's heart skipped a beat. The golden long spear in his hand was the reward he had obtained in the Simulated Universe, and also his biggest secret!

He had originally intended to find an opportunity to ask his father or Seeing Yanqing about the origin of this long spear, but he had never found a suitable opportunity.

Unexpectedly, "Tian Quan" had seen the extraordinary nature of this long spear at a glance!

"This..." Jing Yuan hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

"What? Is it inconvenient to say?" "Tian Quan" looked at Jing Yuan and asked.

"This long spear was obtained by this junior by chance; as for the specific origin, this junior is not very clear." Jing Yuan said, biting the bullet.

"Obtained by chance?" "Tian Quan" clearly didn't believe Jing Yuan's nonsense. He had lived for tens of thousands of years; what kind of people hadn't he seen? What kind of things hadn't he experienced?

Jing Yuan's eyes flickered; he was clearly hiding something!

"Young Master, you should know the consequences of deceiving me!" "Tian Quan's" voice suddenly turned cold, and an invisible pressure pressed toward Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan instantly felt as if a massive mountain were pressing on his chest, breathing became difficult, and cold sweat couldn't stop dripping from his forehead.

"This junior wouldn't dare!" Jing Yuan gritted his teeth. He knew that if he continued to hide it, he would likely anger "Tian Quan," and the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Lord 'Tian Quan,' to tell you the truth, this long spear was obtained by this junior during a chance encounter." Jing Yuan took a deep breath, deciding to confess to "Tian Quan." "As for what kind of chance encounter it was, it is inconvenient for this junior to disclose, and I hope Lord 'Tian Quan' will forgive me!"

"A chance encounter?" "Tian Quan" looked at Jing Yuan, his eyes flashing with brilliance, seemingly wanting to see through Jing Yuan's heart.

Jing Yuan felt his heart go numb from "Tian Quan's" gaze, but he still pretended to be calm, not daring to retreat in the slightest.

"Fine." "Tian Quan" was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Since it is inconvenient for you to disclose, I will not force you."

Hearing this, Jing Yuan was instantly relieved. He had thought "Tian Quan" would continue to press him.

"However..." "Tian Quan" changed the subject. "I still want to remind you that the more you know about some secrets, the more disadvantageous it is for you."

"Many thanks to Lord 'Tian Quan' for the teaching; this junior will keep it in mind!" Jing Yuan quickly said.

"Alright, you go back." "Tian Quan" waved his hand, signaling Jing Yuan could leave.

"Yes, then this junior will take his leave." Jing Yuan saluted again, then turned and left.

"Tian Quan" looked at Jing Yuan's departing back, a complex look flashing in his eyes....

"What secret is this brat hiding?"

"Tian Quan" pondered to himself. "Why does the long spear in his hand give me a sense of familiarity?"

"Could it be..."

"Tian Quan" suddenly thought of something, his expression changing drastically. "Could that long spear be..."

"No, this matter must be reported to Lord 'Tai Sui' as soon as possible!"

After Jing Yuan returned to "Luo Fu," he immediately summoned everyone to discuss the aftermath.

"This time, thanks to Lord 'Tian Quan' arriving in time, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Jing Yuan said with lingering fear.

"That's right, Lord 'Tian Quan' is truly omnipotent; a figure as powerful as the 'Black Heaven Emperor' was actually killed by him in one move!" Seeing Yanqing also said with worship.

"Lord 'Tian Quan' is the head of the 'Six Royals' of the Xianzhou Alliance, and his strength is unfathomable; killing the 'Black Heaven Emperor' in one move is naturally a piece of cake." Jing Yuan said.

"By the way, Young Master, before Lord 'Tian Quan' left, did he say anything to you?" Jing Yuan suddenly asked.

"Lord 'Tian Quan'?" Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, his expression becoming somewhat ugly. "Lord 'Tian Quan' he..."

"What happened to him?" Jing Yuan and Seeing Yanqing saw this and quickly asked.

"Lord 'Tian Quan' he... he seems to have discovered the long spear in my hand!" Jing Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

"What?!" Jing Yuan and Seeing Yanqing were instantly shocked upon hearing this.

"Then did Lord 'Tian Quan' make things difficult for you?" Jing Yuan quickly asked.

"That didn't happen; Lord 'Tian Quan' just reminded me that the more I know about some secrets, the more disadvantageous it is for me." Jing Yuan said.

171. 【The attack of the 'Stellaron Hunters'】

"That's good, that's good." Jing Yuan was instantly relieved upon hearing this. "It seems Lord 'Tian Quan' had no malice."

"But why would Lord 'Tian Quan' be interested in the long spear in the Young Master's hand?" Seeing Yanqing's brows were locked, unable to figure it out.

"That's right, what is the origin of this long spear?" Jing Yuan was also full of doubt.

Jing Yuan shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.

"This long spear is truly becoming more and more mysterious..."

Just when everyone in "Luo Fu" was cheering for the destruction of the "Black Heaven Emperor," the headquarters of the "Xianzhou Alliance" far away in the depths of the star sea was filled with a murderous aura!

"What did you say?! 'Black Heaven Emperor' is dead?!"

A middle-aged man wearing a black dragon robe and a purple-gold crown, with a majestic face, stood up abruptly, emitting a terrifying pressure that caused the surrounding void to tremble slightly.

This middle-aged man was the supreme leader of the Xianzhou Alliance—"Tai Sui"!

"Yes, Lord, Lord 'Tian Quan' saw it with his own eyes; the 'Black Heaven Emperor' was struck to death by 'Heavenly Punishment'!" A general wearing silver armor knelt on one knee, reporting with trepidation.

"'Heavenly Punishment'?!" "Tai Sui" frowned upon hearing this. "'Heavenly Punishment' is the embodiment of cosmic laws; how could it suddenly descend on the 'Black Heaven Emperor'?"

"This..." The general was speechless upon hearing this; how would he know why "Heavenly Punishment" descended?

"The strength of the 'Black Heaven Emperor,' although not top-tier, is definitely not mediocre; how could 'Heavenly Punishment' strike him for no reason?" "Tai Sui's" eyes flashed with brilliance, seemingly thinking of something. "Unless..."

"Unless what?" The general quickly asked.

"Unless the 'Black Heaven Emperor' violated cosmic laws!" "Tai Sui" said in a deep voice.

"Violated cosmic laws?!" The general was instantly shocked upon hearing this.

"Cosmic laws" are the supreme rules that have existed since the birth of the universe; no one can violate them, otherwise, they will surely suffer "Heavenly Punishment"!

"But how could the 'Black Heaven Emperor' violate cosmic laws?" The general asked in confusion.

"This is exactly what I want to know!" "Tai Sui's" eyes flashed with cold light. "Pass on my order, immediately send people to 'Luo Fu' to investigate the cause of the 'Black Heaven Emperor's' death! We must find out what the 'Black Heaven Emperor' did to violate cosmic laws and bring down 'Heavenly Punishment'!"

"Yes!" The general took the order and left.

"'Black Heaven Emperor,' you had better pray that your death has nothing to do with my 'Xianzhou Alliance'!"

"Otherwise, I will definitely make sure your 'Stellaron Hunters' are wiped out!"

Jing Yuan returned to Luo Fu, and Seeing Yanqing immediately greeted him, asking with concern: "How is it? Did Lord 'Tian Quan' make things difficult for you?"

Jing Yuan smiled and shook his head: "No, Lord 'Tian Quan' just asked me some questions about that long spear; I didn't tell the truth, but he didn't pursue it either."

Seeing Yanqing was relieved upon hearing this, but her brows remained locked, clearly still feeling uneasy about the appearance of "Tian Quan."

"Why would Lord 'Tian Quan' suddenly appear here? Could it be that he knew long ago that the 'Stellaron Hunters' would come to attack Luo Fu?"

"This..." Jing Yuan was also stumped by the question. He didn't know these things, so he could only mumble: "Maybe it's a coincidence."

Seeing Yanqing naturally didn't believe it was a coincidence, but she also knew that with their current abilities, they couldn't speculate on the thoughts of big shots like "Tian Quan," so they could only take it one step at a time.

On the other side, Jing Yuan had already summoned the high-level officials of Luo Fu to discuss the aftermath.

In the great hall, the atmosphere was solemn, and everyone's faces carried the joy of surviving a disaster, but also mixed with worry about the future.

"This attack by the 'Stellaron Hunters,' although successfully repelled by us, their strength cannot be underestimated; we must recover our vitality as soon as possible and strengthen our defenses to prevent them from making a comeback." An elder said with worry.

"That's right, the 'Stellaron Hunters' act ruthlessly; having suffered such a big loss this time, they definitely won't let it go easily; we must make full preparations!" Another elder echoed. ===== CHAPTER 172 =====
