Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Xu Zhangqing furrowed his brow slightly.
The Cang Lei Ancient Clan's Survivor, having clearly utilized the hidden underground Teleportation Array to escape, did not flee far after escaping, but instead actively contacted Huo Yuan and his group to return and intercept this side.
One Word, this kind of behavior is hard to justify logically.
If one says the other party thought Huo Yuan plus the Dongji Lingzhou's Supreme Elders could suppress Luo Qinghan, then after personally witnessing Second Senior Sister forcibly endure the heavenly thunder and suppress the Calamity Beast Lei Long, it would be impossible to still harbor such an illusion.
If one says this person purely had their mind clouded by clan-extermination hatred, but just now when speaking their logic was clear and their incitement extremely strong, they completely did not resemble a person who had lost their wits.
Unless from the very beginning, this person never counted on Huo Yuan being able to win.
Returning was not for a turnaround, but for another scheme.
If that is the case, the situation is bad.
……
……
The standoff entered an even more deadlocked stage.
Huo Yuan's silence had already indicated his attitude.
Luo Qinghan naturally lost patience with this.
If it weren't for the fact that we and the others are in the Endless Star Domain, which is to say their territory.
To tell the truth, we would have already made a move long ago, how could we possibly waste time here.
Just as a move was about to be made, Huo Yuan, after a moment of silence, finally spoke, his tone softened somewhat compared to before: "Luo Siming, this seat understands that the Beidou Xianfu has the Beidou Xianfu's stance, however Dongji Lingzhou also has Dongji Lingzhou's rules.
Like this, this seat makes a commitment today: the losses the Cang Lei Ancient Clan caused the Beidou Xianfu will be compensated by the Dongji Lingzhou's Guardian Mansion.
The involved Cang Lei Ancient Clan members will also be brought back to the Guardian Mansion for strict interrogation.
In Short, those who should be killed will be killed, those who should be punished will be punished.
But the premise is, it must be executed by the Dongji Lingzhou Guardian Mansion, not by the Beidou Xianfu enforcing the law across borders.
This is the biggest concession this seat can make!"
After hearing these words, Luo Qinghan shook her head without any hesitation: "Guardian Envoy Huo, you are treating me like a three-year-old child to coax.
The Cang Lei Ancient Clan has operated in Dongji Lingzhou for thirty-eight thousand years; how deep their relationship is with your Guardian Mansion, everyone knows in their hearts.
Wait until you bring them back for interrogation; at that time you'll kill a few scapegoats, hide the ones who truly should be killed, and release them after a few hundred years.
Has the Dongji Lingzhou Guardian Mansion done this kind of thing few times?
Today there are only two roads, you choose yourself.
Either you bring your people and step aside, the Cang Lei Ancient Clan's remnants are handed to us to handle.
Or you continue to block, and the Beidou Xianfu and the Dongji Lingzhou Guardian Mansion tear face from now on."
As these words fell, that group of Dongji Lingzhou's Supreme Elders behind Huo Yuan could no longer sit still.
Besides the Tianyuan Domain, the other three domains of the Floating World Four Domains control resources that are no small matter.
Unless forced by necessity, no one dares to easily offend the Beidou Xianfu, let alone fall out.
After a round of weighing, that Mahayana Stage gray-robed old man spoke first: "Guardian Envoy Huo, this old man feels Luo Siming's words also have reason.
The Cang Lei Ancient Clan hijacked their merchant convoy first; no matter where this trouble spreads, they are in the wrong. We have no need to go head-on colliding with the Beidou Xianfu for the sake of the Cang Lei Ancient Clan!"
"Yes yes!"
"We have no need to be like this!"
"Offending the Beidou Xianfu, no one will have a good time!"
The few Chamber of Commerce Supreme Elders at the side also chimed in agreement at this moment.
For a time, it was all voices persuading Huo Yuan to yield.
As the person with the highest status on the Endless Star Domain side, Huo Yuan's complexion was extremely ugly at this moment.
He, as the Dongji Lingzhou Guardian Envoy, with Mahayana Stage cultivation, on this one mu three fen of land of Dongji Lingzhou had always been a big shot whose word was law.
Today, yet was forced to the limit by Luo Qinghan in front of so many people.
This humiliation will inevitably become a heart knot on his cultivation path in the future.
However, Huo Yuan is ultimately not the kind of reckless man who loses reason at the slightest provocation; after taking a deep breath, he slowly stepped aside: "Fine, I'll hand the people over."
"Guardian Envoy!"
A few subordinates showed unwillingness, yet also helplessness.
The boss has spoken, they can only comply.
After all, Huo Yuan has already made the final choice on this matter.
In the face of survival and interests, the Cang Lei Ancient Clan's life or death is fundamentally not worth gambling one's own future on, moreover still offending the Beidou Xianfu.
And the Cang Lei Ancient Clan's Survivor, the instant he saw Huo Yuan turn sideways to yield, his facial expression changed from grief and indignation to despair.
The next second, his face began to emit a layer of red light outward.
This red light is exactly the same as the red light that just now enveloped the Thunder God Finger Bone, sticky like fresh blood.
All emotions on this person's face, as if wiped away by an invisible hand.
In a turn of an instant, replaced with an indifferent expression that made everyone present feel a shiver of dread.
Especially the eyes, there was no longer a trace of emotion belonging to a living person, replaced instead by two clusters of continuously spreading crimson radiance.
"Since Guardian Envoy Huo is unwilling to shelter the Cang Lei Ancient Clan!"
"Then today, you shall dedicate the Cang Lei Ancient Clan's thirty-eight-thousand-year foundation, together with yourselves, to the Lord of Red!"
As the words fell, three nearby planets trembled simultaneously.
From the depths of the star cores came a roaring sound.
The surfaces of the three planets cracked open at the same time; what surged from the fissures was neither magma nor thunder light, but a crimson liquid between gas and liquid states.
Red light shot up from the three planets into the sky, spread across the void, and then expanded in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, above the heads of Huo Yuan, Luo Qinghan, Xu Zhangqing, and everyone else, it converged and closed, shrouding the void of ten thousand li in all directions entirely beneath a blood-red canopy.
"This is……"
Huo Yuan's complexion changed completely at this moment.
His Hunyuan Heavy Water Laws erupted immediately, and his Mahayana Stage cultivation was released without reservation, as countless heavy water barriers refined to the extreme unfolded in layers around him and the Dongji Lingzhou cultivators.
But the moment the heavy water barriers touched the edge of the red canopy, they emitted piercing corrosion sounds.
Like clear water dripping into magma, the Heavy Water Law was being crazily corroded by the red canopy in a completely incomprehensible way.
Seeing this scene, Huo Yuan suddenly looked at the Cang Lei Ancient Clan Survivor whose face had changed, his eyes full of disbelief: "You Cang Lei Ancient Clan are actually worshipping an Evil Force!"
However, this Survivor did not answer his question.
Instead, as the red canopy fell, his body began to swell at a speed defying common sense.
The veins beneath his skin all turned into crimson light.
Twisted red light surged from his five features and seven orifices, twisting his face and figure into a blurred human contour.
Only then did he speak again, his voice carrying a strange resonance that made one's Divine Soul tremble upon hearing it: "What do you think the Cang Lei Ancient Clan has relied on for thirty-eight thousand years?"
A finger bone of an Ancient God of the Thunder Dao?
A Cang Lei True Explanation?
The Cang Lei Ancient Clan's true backing has always been only one: the Lord of Red!"
