Chapter 891: Believe Me, No One Can Defend Him
The crucial problem with the claim made by Lu Xuan was that there was no way for Yang Zhuxin to prove his innocence.
Even the slightest suspicion could prove fatal for him.
Most importantly, Yang Zhuxin knew himself best – that he was not innocent.
“Lu Xuan, you claimed that Sectmaster Yang was a chess piece placed by the demons among humans,” the voice of a middle-aged person entered the conversation. “Do you have any evidence?” The voice had belonged to the last individual of the Four Consolidation: the mayor of Cloud City.
Lu Xuan directed his glance towards the voice. The mayor had concealed himself by twisting the air around him. It was impossible to perceive his physical appearance.
This was the power of an expert of the Consolidation Realm. Unfortunately for him, although he could conceal himself from others, he could not hide from Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan could see that beneath the illusion, the mayor was a handsome middle-aged man in a long robe.
“Evidence? I don’t have any!” Lu Xuan replied.
“No evidence!” Yang Zhuxin heaved a sigh of relief but the anger did not subside from his face. “You dare to slander someone from the Consolidation Realm without evidence? Just because you had Sectmaster Lin covering for you, you think you can act so brazenly? I had intended to only take away your skills and spare your life, but now, you will certainly die today! ”
The crowd fell silent at Yang Zhuxin’s words. Expectedly, the Consolidation users remained silent too. Those of the Consolidation Realm were not to use their speak lightly. This was fundamental.
There was a tacit agreement between them to avoid any conflict in such a
scenario.
A Consolidation Realm individual could be challenged only by another Consolidation Realm individual; challenges between strongmen beneath the Consolidation Realm and a Consolidation Realm individual were strictly forbidden.
“Haha, Yang Zhuxin, what do you think I gain from exposing your secret?” Lu Xuan laughed. “To slander you? Self-defense? Neither. I was simply telling you why you will be eliminated today.”
Just as things were getting heated, Lin Ziyi spoke suddenly: “This matter is of utmost importance. I will take him away and inquire the details.”
She was not willing to watch Lu Xuan get killed as it was not in her character to do so. However, neither was she willing to challenge the tacit agreement between the Consolidation Realm users. This was her method of protecting Lu Xuan.
Lin Ziyi had seen the potential that Lu Xuan had. It was certain that he would step into the Consolidation Realm. For someone who carried an aura of cosmic power, the Consolidation Realm posed no difficulty for him.
There was a possibility that she could become allies with Lu Xuan in the future. After all, she had experienced the difficulties of being a single, weak force in the Tempest Continent.
The many restrictions and restraints she faced during this Tempest Alliance Meeting were due to this reason too.
Yang Zhuxin looked coldly towards Lin Ziyi in the sky and said, “Lin Ziyi, he has tarnished my reputation and slandered my name. You are not allowed to take him away, he will be slain by my hands.”
At this moment, Lu Xuan was the biggest threat to him. He would not allow Lu Xuan to live. He must be eliminated, even if it meant ruining their relations.h.i.+p or even fighting Lin Ziyi herself.
Either way, Lin Ziyi was only at the Intermediate-stage of the Consolidation Realm. She still had a long way to go before catching up to him.
“What if I insist on protecting him?” Lin Ziyi’s voice grew cold as well. She may be an unremarkable individual compared to them, but she remained an unprecedented force of the Consolidation Realm. Her power was not to be underestimated.
“BOOM!”
Suddenly, two Consolidation Realm individuals collided and an unsettling atmosphere wrapped itself around Cloud City.
The collision of two powerful individuals of the Consolidation Realm was electrifying and a sign of the terror that was to come.
With this unsettling pressure, every person in the crowd started to s.h.i.+ver.
Except for Lu Guoguo who was under the protection of Lu Xuan. Both Wen Shengjie and Lu Guoguo remained unbothered as the two continued their ruthless exchange on the battle stage.
Their collision was blocked by enchantments.
They continued to rise like a pair of frightening storms brewing simultaneously. The crowd could feel the collapse of air in the s.p.a.ce between both of the powerful beings.
With another collision, there was an explosion of fearsome light energy that scattered all around.
“Sectmaster Lin’s powers could hold a candle to Sectmaster Yang!” A voice exclaimed from the crowd. To them, among the Five Consolidations of the Four Great Holy Lands, the weakest was the vice-leader of Xuanhuo Sect, Li Shou.
He was followed closely by Lin Ziyi who had the least experience.
Lin Ziyi was had entered the Intermediate-stage of the Consolidation Realm only recently. While Yang Zhuxin, the President of the Steel Knights a.s.sociation was close to entering the Late-stage of the Consolidation Realm.
Ranked above them was the mayor of Cloud City who was already in the Late-stage, and the one who reigned above them all was the master of the Consolidation Realm: leader of the Xuanhuo Sect, Long Feihua.
However, the presence that Lin Ziyi unleashed had exceeded the imagination of the crowd.
Lin Ziyi had unknowingly caught up with President Yang Zhuxin in terms of potential.
“Consolidation Realm individuals are not allowed to fight. But I also will not allow you to take him away, Lin Ziyi. If just anyone could slander Consolidation Realm individuals without evidence, the world would be no law and order in this world,” a strict and indisputable voice boomed.
Following the voice was a hair-raising presence that instantly overwhelmed the presence of the two Consolidation Realm users.
Everyone looked up and saw the Xuanhuo Sect leader Long Feihua imposing his presence.
In any other circ.u.mstance, to stop two strong Consolidation Realm individuals just like this would have been unbelievable. However, to the Xuanhuo Sect leader Long Feihua, who was number 1 in the world, this was only natural.
All in the Consolidation Realm were powerful, but there still were ranks within. The Xuanhuo Sect leader stood at the top of the Consolidation Realm.
“Thank you for your protection, Sectmaster Lin. But I won’t need it!” Lu Xuan said cooly.
“Unfortunately, I will not be giving up today. I’m here today not just to remove this large threat against mankind, but also to consult everyone. Did any of you think to seek my permission before deciding to divide the Earth amongst yourselves?”
“How shameless. This will be your demise!”
As Yang Zhuxin let out a yell, his body began to explode with power, and streams of black light circled him.
A spear wielded with black gold appeared in his hand.
The spear launched towards Lu Xuan. Though it was lacking in speed, the movement still triggered vibrations between Heaven and Earth.
In a flash, Yang Zhuxin was no longer just a single person in the ma.s.s’ eyes, but an army of thousands of troops. His body had transformed into a Shura Battlefield.
This was the true purpose of the spear technique and was a special attack method created by the Steel Knight a.s.sociation to conquer the battlefield.
In an instant, millions of beams of light unfurled. Each was filled with murderous intent and they scattered everywhere with a hum.
It felt as if the spear was meant to destroy the world.
Just the concept alone was frightening enough to hold off any strong enemy, but the real killer was the black gold wielded spear. It moved like a black dragon that was ready to pulverize everything.
The attack was not particularly fast, but somehow in that instant, it was already right in front of Lu Xuan.
He could not block it!
