Beside Yun Che, Dongfang Hanwei, whose face was already pale, turned even paler.
“This…” The Lord of Donghan looked at Yun Che, at a loss for a moment.
A beam of pupil light with dark pressure and endless hostility pressed firmly on Yun Che, but he found that the other party's expression was surprisingly cold, without the slightest ripple, which made him suspicious, and his eyes turned back: "Fang Zhou, are you sure it's him?"
Fang Zhou said calmly, "Of course, how dare I fool Patriarch Ming. Although I didn't see it myself, but..."
He looked at Yun Che, and a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This person's name is Yun Che. Although he has the cultivation level of a beginner Divine King, he is unknown and his origins are extremely suspicious. He was brought back to the royal city by the Nineteenth Princess, and she said something... She said that this person is her savior. Many people present, including the King, can testify to this."
"During the fierce battle, the king was worried about the safety of the Nineteenth Princess, so he ordered the commander of the East Cold Guard, Qin Yan, to take the Nineteenth Princess away from the royal city. Young Master Ming Yang came for the Nineteenth Princess, and when he saw the Nineteenth Princess leaving, he naturally followed her."
“To be able to be the personal guard of Young Master Ming Yang, his cultivation must be extraordinary, and he would not be unable to catch up with Qin Yan and Princess Nineteen. In other words, Young Master Ming Yang must have met Princess Nineteen. However, Young Master Ming Yang was murdered during this period. After Princess Nineteen returned, she did not mention Young Master Ming Yang at all, but said that Yun Che was her savior. So, from whose hands did he save Princess Nineteen’s life?”
Ming Xiao’s gaze returned to Yun Che. Both his expression and voice became several times more sinister: “It was you who… killed my son!?”
Ming Yang's four personal guards were all in the Divine Realm, but Yun Che's aura was that of a Level 1 Divine King! He was indeed capable of killing Ming Yang.
Before Yun Che responded, Fang Zhou spoke again, “Of course he won’t admit it to Patriarch Ming. However, it would be easier to get an answer if we ask another person about this.”
He walked slowly towards Dongfang Hanwei, with a rather peaceful and kind smile on his face: "Princess Nineteen, when you left the city, Young Master Ming Yang also happened to come for you. I believe you must have seen him. So, tell us, did Yun Che kill Young Master Ming Yang?"
His eyes were focused on Princess Hanwei. Her body swayed slightly, and she shook her head completely subconsciously: "No... No..."
"Princess Nineteen," Fang Zhou's voice sounded again, a little slower: "You must think clearly before answering. This Yun Che has an unknown origin and unpredictable intentions. At least he is definitely not from Donghan. The fact that Young Master Ming Yang was murdered by him has nothing to do with Donghan! Even if it is really you who caused it, as long as you tell the truth and explain the reasons in detail, I believe that the head of the Ming clan is as broad-minded as the sky and will not force you to make a fuss. He will only severely punish the evildoer who murdered him."
"But if you deliberately protect him... and offend an important figure like the Ming Peng clan leader, no one will be able to protect you. It will also implicate the entire royal family and even the Donghan Kingdom! I believe that Princess Nineteen will understand such a simple truth."
“Han Wei…” The Lord of Donghan said softly. Dongfang Hanwei had previously rescued Yun Che by publicly announcing that Yun Che had saved her life. He was deeply grateful at the time, but at the banquet, he did not ask Yun Che from whom he had saved her.
After hearing Fang Zhou’s words, he suddenly understood that it was very likely... that Yun Che really killed Ming Yang!
After all, Dongfang Hanwei was too inexperienced and too kind-hearted. She must have thought that she would not leak the secret if no outsiders saw it... She even dared to bring Yun Che back to the royal city!
That’s the young master of the Mingpeng clan!
Dongfang Hanwei had just turned 20. At this age, she could reach the Soul Realm. She was definitely a proud child in the middle star realm. However, what she was facing at the moment was the danger of national destruction, the precipice of despair, and the coercion and pressure from several God Kings...
How could she bear this?
Her body trembled like duckweed in the wind, her face was as pale as fine snow, she shook her head, shaking it vigorously and confusedly... These God Kings were so experienced that her reaction was actually the most unquestionable answer.
But, even though she was so frightened and desperate that her will almost collapsed, the voice from her lips was still a humble and trembling denial: "No... not Senior Yun... no... no..."
Yun Che slightly side-glanced at her.
This was the first time that Yun Che looked at her straight in the eye and saw her appearance clearly.
What everyone cares about most will change differently at different stages.
For Yun Che now, one of the things he cares about most is betrayal.
Because, as the savior, he was betrayed by countless people he saved...
It is the same life-saving grace, but some people want to kill him in a safe situation, while others choose to stick to him in adversity... or even in desperate situations.
Dongfang Hanwei must not know at this moment that, under extreme pressure and fear, she was still unwilling to betray Yun Che. Although her few words were so powerless, they completely changed her own fate and the fate of the entire Donghan Nation.
“Oh,” Ming Xiao let out an extremely cold laugh, “Dongfang Zhuo, you really raised a good daughter! Very good…very good! Today, after I kill the man who killed my son Ming Yang, I will definitely massacre this shitty royal city of yours!”
"Chief Ming!" The Lord of Donghan was horrified and said in a trembling voice, "My daughter is young and ignorant, and Donghan has absolutely no intention of offending the Mingpeng tribe. I beg Chief Ming to show mercy... I will do my best to find out everything about Young Master Mingyang and give Chief Ming an explanation."
"Explanation? Being buried with you is the best explanation, isn't it?" Ming Xiao's voice was like that of a fierce ghost, filled with murderous intent.
“Oh, you really brought this upon yourself, and you will never be able to live.” Fairy Zixuan sneered, “It seems that it is not my Taiyin Divine Palace’s turn to take action today.”
Amid the horror of all the people in Donghan, Ming Xiao took a step forward. Suddenly, it was as if a mountain ten thousand feet high collapsed from the front. Just one step frightened all the Donghan Xuan practitioners and caused them to retreat in panic. Some even sat down on the ground, trembling.
However, Ming Xiao only took one step forward, his eyes slightly turned to the side.
Because, Yun Che, who had been silent the whole time, finally took action at this moment. He raised his eyes and looked at Ming Xiao.
And it was such a simple action that couldn’t be simpler, but it caused the atmosphere of the entire space to suddenly undergo a subtle and indescribable change. Almost everyone inexplicably noticed, or felt, Yun Che’s action… but no one found it strange.
"I was the one who killed Ming Yang."
Yun Che opened his mouth, and the voice that reached everyone’s ears was even colder than Ming Xiao’s, and it carried a hint of disdain and contempt.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yun Che.
“Senior Yun…Senior Yun…” Dongfang Hanwei bit her lips tightly as she spoke in a low voice. She knew that she had implicated Yun Che…If she hadn’t insisted on inviting him here, he wouldn’t have fallen into this deathly situation.
“As expected.” Fang Zhou stared at Yun Che with a blazing gaze and said in a cold voice, “When Fang saw him for the first time, he felt that he was definitely not a good person. It turns out that he is so bold and full of evil! Princess Nineteen, you actually brought such a person into the royal city and covered up his heinous crimes. As the Donghan State Master, I am extremely disappointed in you!”
The leader of Donghan Kingdom opened his mouth, but at this moment, he was speechless. He had never felt so sad and desperate.
“Who… are you?” Although he was extremely angry and wanted to tear Yun Che into pieces with his own hands, Yun Che was too calm. He was so calm that he couldn’t help but feel suspicious: “Why did you kill my son Ming Yang?”
Facing Ming Xiao’s aura and fury, Yun Che’s expression remained frozen and cold: “Do I need a reason to kill him?”
When these words were spoken, not only Mingxiao and Mingao, but also people from Taiyin Divine Mansion, Tianwu Kingdom, and Donghan Kingdom were all shocked.
In the Eastern Ruins and Eastern Realm, the nine major sects are the most powerful. Who would dare to be so presumptuous and arrogant in front of the leader of one of the nine major sects?
Ming Xiao laughed in anger: "Very good! Yun Che... no matter what your origin is, today, I will personally... make you buried with my son!"
"Clan leader," Ming Ao raised his hand and said, "He is just a first-level God King, not worthy of you taking action."
He took a step forward and stretched out his arms: "Yun Che, you killed my young master and offended Ming Peng. Your crime is unforgivable! Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, it's too late!"
boom--
His body soared into the air, and his profound energy exploded. A terrifying wave of energy swept away, shocking all the profound practitioners to turn pale. A black light swept down, and Ming Ao had already rushed down. He stretched out his five fingers, pointing directly at Yun Che's throat, flashing a cold light that was more terrifying than the talons of the devil eagle.
The power of the Mingpeng clan is mainly darkness and storm, and the speed is extremely fast. Mingao is a level 5 God King, facing a level 1 God King. Once locked, the opponent will have no chance of escape.
The moment Ming'ao suddenly jumped up, all the guards, mysterious practitioners, the King of Donghan, Dongfang Hanwei, Qin Yan, and even Fang Zhou within a few miles in front of him were swept away fiercely. The originally densely packed battle formation turned into a vacuum in an instant.
And in this vacuum area, Yun Che was the only one left.
He was obviously suppressed by Ming'ao's aura and couldn't even escape.
The distance was shortened in an instant, but Yun Che remained motionless. In the eyes of everyone, the next scene would be Yun Che’s head being torn off by the terrifying Peng claws.
When the Dark Ao was less than ten feet away from him, Yun Che finally made a move. He raised his arm, faced the swooping Dark Ao, and slowly extended a finger to meet his claws.
There was no explosion of mysterious energy, no splattering of blood, and not even any screaming. The scene, which was originally horrifying, suddenly became eerily quiet.
Ming Ao was right in front of Yun Che, his right hand still in a terrifying clawing and tearing posture, and a finger pointed at his palm… At that moment, the cold light on his claws, the storm on his body, and even the profound energy that he was circulating in his whole body, all dissipated without a trace in an instant.
The scene was extremely quiet and eerie. No one knew what had happened except Ming'ao... No, even Ming'ao himself didn't know what had happened.
In his eyes that suddenly turned gray, Yun Che raised his head slightly and whispered lightly: “Is this all you can do?”
After he finished speaking, he flicked his fingers lightly.
Snap! !
An extremely piercing tearing sound rang out in everyone's soul. At that moment, Ming'ao's entire right arm was suddenly torn apart, bursting into countless gushing blood fountains, and then exploded into countless fragments in the madly scattered blood fountains.
Ming Ao, who lost his right arm in an instant, flew out with a heart-wrenching scream, and fell back in front of Ming Xiao, rolling on the ground in pain.
