"boom!"
Seeing that the demonic vines below were still rampaging, the law enforcement elder in the sky angrily slammed down with his palm!
A massive, solidified sword-qi palm print crashed down, and the terrifying power of the Spirit Void Realm instantly shattered those strange wisteria vines!
The smoke and dust dissipated slightly.
The elder of law enforcement's gaze swept across the entire area like a hawk's, finally settling on Pang Shun'an, the center of the storm.
His brow furrowed, and disbelief and astonishment flashed in his eyes: "A mortal?!"
How could a mortal possibly unleash such terrifying demonic power?
However, just as the elder of law enforcement was filled with doubt and uncertainty...
"Ryuu-er!!!"
A piercing howl, like that of a wounded wild beast, exploded from the ground!
A middle-aged man flew low from a distance, landing beside Huang Wenlong's mutilated corpse like an out-of-control meteor!
Those with discernment present immediately recognized him; this man was none other than Huang Shunan, the sect leader of the Xuanhuang Sect, and also Huang Wenlong's biological father.
"Long'er!"
The man looked at Huang Wenlong's horrific, mangled death, his soul completely erased by the wisteria, and let out another painful howl. Then, a surge of blood rushed to his head!
He suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Pang Shun'an, who was standing there dumbfounded, his eyes filled with nothing but a frenzied killing intent!
"You bastard! Give me back my son's life—!!!"
Huang Shunan completely lost his mind. His spiritual energy surged violently around him, and a giant yellow claw formed from spiritual energy tore through the air and slashed down at Pang Shunan's head!
This claw strike contained the extreme grief and rage of a father who had lost his son, enough to turn any cultivator at the Soul Control or even the Void Soul Realm into dust, let alone a mortal with no cultivation!
The onlookers quickly retreated further, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.
The Xuanhuang Sect wasn't particularly strong, but Huang Shunan was a genuine mid-stage Spirit Void Realm cultivator, someone the onlookers couldn't contend with.
"stop!"
The elder's expression changed drastically, and he shouted out! He flashed and instantly stood in front of Pang Shun'an, a sharp and unparalleled cyan sword aura shooting out from his sleeve, accurately blocking the earthen-yellow giant claw!
boom!
The two powerful forces collided, unleashing a dull, deafening roar! A surge of air erupted!
Huang Shunan's attack was blocked, and his figure swayed slightly, but the madness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest. He stared intently at Pang Shunan behind the Enforcement Elder, looking like a madman: "This fiend slaughtered my son and massacred hundreds of fellow cultivators! He deserves to die a thousand deaths! Is this how your Azure Sky Sword Pavilion enforces the law? If we do not grind this fiend to dust today, my Xuanhuang Sect will not rest! The Sword Pavilion must give me an explanation!"
The elder in charge of law enforcement also looked extremely grim.
Those who were mistakenly killed by the wisteria might include many disciples from other sects. With such a major incident in Wanren City, the Sword Pavilion is naturally to blame, and as the Enforcement Elder, he cannot escape accountability.
But Pang Shunan is the only clue at the scene, and we must not let him be killed by the other party. Otherwise, if we cannot find the real culprit, we will be in even greater trouble!
"Sect Leader Huang! Calm down!"
The elder in charge of law enforcement spoke in a deep, authoritative voice, “This person’s identity is suspicious, and he is key to finding the real culprit! You cannot handle this matter through private punishment… This matter is of great importance and is no longer just a matter for your Xuanhuang Sect! The Sword Pavilion will investigate the truth and give all of you an explanation!”
At this moment, the elder in charge of law enforcement suddenly remembered something and shouted into the sky, "Please all of you stay where you are! We will decide what to do once the Pavilion Master arrives. Anyone who moves without authorization will be punished as a murderer!"
"..."
A burst of discussion erupted at the scene, but everyone remained where they were, not daring to move.
Fortunately, Mu Shuangshuang left in time, otherwise she would also have been trapped here and unable to escape.
Upon hearing this, Huang Shunan gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling violently with anger.
He glanced at Pang Shun'an, who was firmly protected behind the elders of law enforcement, then at the cold corpse on the ground, and finally snorted coldly, "Fine! I'd like to see how the Sword Pavilion will explain itself to us fellow cultivators!"
Xuanhuang Sect alone is nothing but a small fry in front of Cangqiong Sword Pavilion. Huang Shunan's words were also intended to bring all the murdered cultivators to a united front.
The elder of the Enforcement Hall understood his meaning but ignored him. He walked straight to a broken wisteria vine, picked it up, examined it for a while, and frowned.
"This is... Illusionary Demonic Energy? Something from the Dark Abyss? No wonder it could evade the sword formation's detection..."
He then walked up to the dazed Pang Shun'an, his deep voice carrying a perfectly placed air of intimidation, "This thing... you placed it here?"
At this moment, Pang Shun'an slowly came to his senses, looked at the bloody scene around him, and his eyes were filled with an indescribable mix of sadness and fear. Finally, he collapsed to the ground, "I...I...I never thought it would turn out like this...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
Before the elder in charge of law enforcement could speak, Ma Tianyu, who was standing nearby, had already stood up and angrily rebuked, "Bullshit! You're just a mortal, how could you possibly assassinate so many cultivators? Elder, please investigate! This must be a setup..."
"Shut up!" The old man casually waved his hand, knocking Ma Tianyu back. "The truth of the matter is for the Pavilion Master to decide; there's no need for you to say more!"
"..."
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present felt a chill run straight to their heads.
Clearly, Pang Shun'an, being a mere mortal, could not possibly be the culprit; someone must have framed him behind the scenes.
This scheme directly targeted the Sky Sword Pavilion!
In Wanren City, the headquarters of the Azure Sky Sword Pavilion, during the righteous path's grand gathering... such a horrifying and cruel bloodbath actually occurred!
This makes one wonder... perhaps the world is truly about to change...
...
Inside the room, Shen Yunhao slowly opened his eyes, still feeling extremely weak.
The battle with Shi Junfei nearly exhausted him. If that final sword strike hadn't completely defeated his opponent, Shen Yunhao would have been the one to lose.
"Brother Yunhao? You're awake!"
A gentle voice came from beside my ear, tinged with a hint of worry...
Shen Yunhao's lips curled slightly, and he reached out a hand towards the bedside, "Yao'er..."
"I am here……"
Ning Yuyao immediately grasped that large hand and pressed it against her soft cheek. "Brother Yunhao, are you feeling better...?"
"Much better!"
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Yunhao felt that the Vast Ocean Heart had almost completely healed his injuries. He was only slightly weak after his spiritual energy had been drained by the Returning Snow Sword. He just needed to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to rest for a while.
"By the way, how did the conference go? Did the seniors from Sword Pavilion say anything?"
In fact, Shen Yunhao would have avoided using Frost Silence Enchantment if he could avoid it, but the moment he saw Shi Junfei standing in front of him, he put many things out of his mind.
However, with the leaders of the seven major sects gathered here, Shen Yunhao wasn't worried that the Azure Sky Sword Pavilion would commit any banditry...
"Brother Yunhao's results were canceled by Pavilion Master Ouyang because he disguised himself during the competition..."
"What?! That damn old fox..."
