Chapter 543: A Ceremony

Hearing Lin Yang's voice, Hua Wenwu's eyes lit up.

When he saw Lin Yang covered in blood, he instantly became tense.

"Lin Yang, are you injured?"

"I told you earlier not to chase after them, but you wouldn't listen!"

"They, Fusang, still have their own foundations!"

"Fortunately, you've come back!"

Lin Yang, hearing this, looked at the blood on his body and gave a hehe laugh.

"This isn't my blood."

"I got it on me accidentally when I killed that guy."

Saying that, he threw Elder Jinggong's head to Hua Wenwu.

When Hua Wenwu received the head, seeing Elder Jinggong's terrified expression, he was also dumbfounded.

He looked at Lin Yang in disbelief and asked.

"This... really is Jinggong Nancheng!"

Lin Yang said with a look of sudden realization.

"Turns out his name is Jinggong Nancheng; not a bad name."

"This is indeed him."

The incredulous Hua Wenwu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.

"Where did you kill him?"

"In the Fusang Imperial Palace; before killing him, I first slaughtered the Dharma incarnation of an Eight-Headed Giant Snake."

"Then, an old man threatened me, so I killed him."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wenwu was already certain that Lin Yang was telling the truth.

He looked at Lin Yang with a complex expression and finally sighed.

"Having you is truly great!"

"Let's go, let's head back; this time we've reaped a bountiful harvest!"

When he returned to the ship, Han Li and Li Hua came up to greet him.

"Elder Hua, are you all right?"

"Just now we detected that the Fusang fleet has been deployed."

"Also, what exploded in midair, and are you injured?"

Hearing Han Li's words, Hua Wenwu gave Lin Yang a strange look.

"We're fine, the enemy indeed deployed two aircraft carriers.

"But they were both sunk by that kid."

"The explosions in midair were also their fighter jets."

Saying that, he threw Jinggong Nancheng's head onto the deck.

"And this old guy's head was also chopped off by him."

When they saw Jinggong Nancheng's head, everyone was dumbstruck.

"This is the Grand Elder of the Fusang Imperial Elder Council, and Lin Yang just killed him like that?"

Han Li asked, "Did you intercept and kill him on the sea?"

Hua Wenwu gave a wry smile, shook his head, and pointed at Lin Yang, saying.

"It has nothing to do with me; it's all this monster's doing."

Then he cursed and said.

"Damn, we're all Nascent Soul cultivators, how can the gap be this huge?"

"I even doubt whether I'm a fake Nascent Soul!"

Listening to Hua Wenwu's words, the two were so shocked they couldn't speak.

"What are you staring at? Head back directly!"

"Hurry back!"

The next day, Hua Wenwu, holding Jinggong Nancheng's head, said to Lin Yang.

"You killed Jinggong Nancheng; this is a major matter—I need to return to headquarters to report."

"Once I speak, you might not be able to stay in Xianggang."

Lin Yang, hearing this, frowned and said.

"Are you going to arrest me?"

Hua Wenwu laughed, shook his head, and said.

"Arrest you? Who could catch you?"

"It's just to invite you to go to Yanjing to join..."

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

Then he said to Lin Yang.

"In short, you will walk a completely different path."

Lin Yang also didn't ask further.

"He still needs to meet the Eight Great Royal Families in Xianggang."

"Or perhaps the Seven Great Royal Families; the Jiang Clan likely wouldn't dare to see him."

After Hua Wenwu left, Lin Yang dialed Peng Yang's phone.

He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and asked.

Peng Shao, how many people have you notified?

Basically, I've finished notifying everyone, but some families are sending people who have a say.

When they arrive, I'll contact you again.

In the afternoon, after the heads of the seven major Royal Family gathered in Xianggang.

Peng Yang called Lin Yang.

While they were meeting, there was also a meeting far away in Yanjing.

At that moment, on the conference table in the National Elders' Council chamber in Yanjing, a skull was placed.

The twelve elders looked at the skull and fell into deep thought.

Besides the twelve elders, some middle-aged people sat behind them.

The most eye-catching was the elder seated in the chief position.

Behind him sat a young person.

The elder spoke first, he said.

This time, what do you think of the information Elder Hua provided us?

As soon as he finished, the elder with a goatee and a scar on his head sitting on the left said.

I feel this matter is too illusory.

One person blowing up two aircraft carriers, and even countless aircraft.

Finally, flying to the Fusang Imperial Palace and killing the Southern City of Jing Palace!

This is equivalent to someone breaking into our meeting room and killing me!

I think Hua Wenwu said this just to promote that youngster!

Hua Wenwu, standing at the meeting room door, hearing this, was not angry.

After all, nobody hearing it would easily believe it.

The elder seated in the chief position, upon hearing this, did not rush to give his opinion.

He said, "What about the others, what do you think?"

As he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up and said.

I think this matter is too exaggerated; we need to arrest that person!

Interrogate him thoroughly to find out what's really going on!

Upon hearing this, Hua Wenwu finally spoke.

Are you the one going to arrest him, General Xiahou?

Xiahou Wenyuan, hearing this, gave a cold laugh and said.

He's just a young man in his twenties; he's not worthy of me personally taking action!

Hua Wenwu, hearing this, replied indifferently.

I hope you still can say that when you meet him.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.

Are you saying I'm not as good as a brat?

Yes.

That answer instantly drew many gazes.

Usually the easygoing Elder Hua, why was his speech so sharp this time?

On the right side, someone asked.

Elder Hua, exactly what level has his strength reached?

Hua Wenwu remained silent for a moment, then said.

I don't know exactly how strong he is, but he's definitely stronger than most of us here!

That remark plunged the meeting room into silence.

The elder in the chief seat looked at Hua Wenwu and said.

Elder Hua, do you know this person's background?

Hua Wenwu took out a file and had someone hand it to the elder.

He also said, "He is from the southwest; six years ago, a major fire broke out in his family."

After investigation, the fire was caused by someone from the Jiang Clan wanting to seize their family heirloom.

And he disappeared for six years after that fire.

Only last year did he return to the southwest.

Upon returning, he possessed Zhù jī strength; thus, his whereabouts during those six years provoke thought.

Six years of Zhù jī, one year of Nascent Soul?

Within the Council of Elders, silence fell instantly.

In everyone's mind, a legendary place instantly appeared.

Seeing everyone's expression, Elder Hua said.

Everyone, it's hard to say whether he returned from that place.

But I advise you not to think about forcing him to speak.

Because he might already be invincible within his realm!
