Chapter 79: Remnants of the Celestial Dragon Clan!

 

Looking at Fozang who had completely lost her breath, Ye Tianming panicked, he completely panicked. He held Fozang tightly, his voice trembling: “Senior Sister, Senior Sister…”

“She is a remnant of the Tianlong Clan!”

At this moment, an angry shout suddenly echoed from the sky. The speaker was Xiao Bu, who angrily pointed at the lifeless Fozang and Ye Tianming, “These two are remnants of the Tianlong Clan, where are the Guanxuan Guards!”

Tianlong Clan remnants!

Around them, terrifying auras swept in from all directions.

All were top experts from the Guanxuan Realm, including supreme masters of the Breakthrough Circle realm.

In an instant, the surroundings were sealed off by the powerful experts from Guanxuan Academy.

Xiao Bu, as if gone mad, pointed at Ye Tianming, “Quickly execute this remnant! Execute him now!”

Then, he pointed at the plain-dressed woman sitting quietly in the distance, “And her too, she is also a remnant of the Tianlong Clan, execute her as well!”

The plain-dressed woman gave Xiao Bu a cold glance.

The Guanxuan Guards around them actually didn’t move, because Xiao Bu had no authority to command them. They only took orders from the Inner Cabinet.

At this moment, a voice suddenly spoke from the shadows: “Arrest them.”

The speaker was an old man, who was the current First Minister of the Inner Cabinet, named Xu Yuan, a disciple of Li Qingyuan.

Xu Yuan stared at Ye Tianming, expressionless.

He certainly knew that Ye Tianming was not from the Tianlong Clan, but at this moment, he had no other choice. If he didn’t pin such a crime on Ye Tianming, how would the Young Master Yang Jia save face?

First being pushed to the edge by Ye Tianming, then breaking his own promise by restoring his realm, and having his consciousness invaded.

If they didn’t deal with Ye Tianming, how could Yang Jia maintain his position?

They couldn’t possibly admit that Yang Jia had lost, could they?

It must be understood that this victory or defeat concerned not just individuals, but the entire Guanxuan Universe. Yang Jia could not lose under any circumstances. His image in the hearts of the people must remain perfect, without any flaws.

Therefore, the best solution was to eliminate Ye Tianming!

A remnant of the Tianlong Clan!

Pinning a crime on him was the best approach!

After receiving the order from the First Minister of the Inner Cabinet, the Guanxuan Guards no longer hesitated and rushed toward Ye Tianming.

But at this moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Tianming. He glared angrily at the surrounding Guanxuan Guards and loudly questioned, “On what grounds are you arresting him?”

The person who stepped forward was An Yan!

Seeing An Yan step forward, his father An Xiao’s face instantly turned pale. He hurriedly rushed in front of An Yan and angrily said: “Rebellious son, what are you doing?”

An Yan directly ignored his father. He looked at the Guanxuan Guards in the sky, his voice thundering like spring thunder, “Today is the Wanzhou Competition, Tianming fought fairly with the Young Master, what wrong has he committed?”

Xiao Bu stepped forward directly, pointing at Ye Tianming in the distance, angrily saying: “He is a remnant of the Tianlong Clan, what wrong has he committed? What crime did the Tianlong Clan commit back then? That was the crime of treason! An Yan, you are now speaking for the Tianlong Clan remnants, what are your intentions?”

An Yan looked at Xiao Bu, “Is this why your Xiao family so desperately wants Tianming dead? Do you think everyone in the world is a fool? Who doesn’t know that your Xiao family wanted to steal Tianming’s special recruitment spot, and now in your humiliation and anger, you want to silence him by killing him?”

“How dare you!”

Xiao Bu was so infuriated by An Yan’s retort that he became enraged, “An Yan, are you representing your An family?”

An Xiao hurriedly said: “My An family has no such intention, I…”

As he spoke, he turned to look at An Yan and angrily said: “Rebellious son, get out of here now!”

He was truly anxious, angry, and afraid!

This Ye Tianming had previously declared he would challenge the Young Master, and now he was associated with the Tianlong Clan remnants… At this moment, whoever was connected to him would be finished.

An Yan looked at An Xiao in front of him and sighed softly, “Father, I understand your concerns. I don’t blame you, I understand you, but I cannot leave. I cannot watch these people treat Tianming like this, because he has done nothing wrong!”

As he spoke, he respectfully kowtowed three times to An Xiao, “Father, from this moment on, I, An Yan, am no longer a member of the An family. My future actions have nothing to do with the An family.”

Hearing An Yan’s words, An Xiao stood frozen in place, his voice trembling: “You…”

An Yan slowly rose to his feet, looked around, and roared, “Tell me, what wrong has Ye Tianming committed?”

His voice thundered like lightning.

What wrong has he committed!

Everyone fell silent.

What wrong had Ye Tianming committed?

He had fought fairly with the Young Master… and the Young Master had promised to lower his realm, but in the end restored it. Speaking of which, it seemed more like the Young Master’s fault.

But who dared to speak the truth?

Who dared?

No one dared!

Xiao Bu angrily said: “An Yan, Ye Tianming has colluded with the Tianlong Clan…”

An Yan angrily replied: “Colluded my ass! What evidence do you have that he colluded with the Tianlong Clan for treason? Besides, I’m talking about the Wanzhou Competition, where the Young Master personally promised to lower his realm to fight fairly with Tianming…”

“An Yan!”

At this moment, Bai Ci suddenly walked forward slowly. He looked at An Yan and shook his head.

He naturally knew whose fault it was, but like Inner Cabinet First Minister Xu Yuan, he also believed that Yang Jia could not lose. If Yang Jia was declared the loser today, it would deal a fatal blow to his reputation, which would then affect the morale of the entire Guanxuan Universe.

The Guanxuan Universe aimed to conquer the entire universe, and morale was undoubtedly the most important factor. If Yang Jia lost to a young person of the same realm, his reputation would suffer… Once his reputation was damaged, how could he unite the entire Guanxuan Universe?

Especially now in the Guanxuan Universe, with its numerous family clans and sects, and so many internal factions… Bai Ci naturally knew all these problems, and it was precisely because of this that the current Guanxuan Universe needed a strong person to intimidate these sects and family clans!

Therefore, Yang Jia could not lose!

An Yan looked at Bai Ci, “Bai Ci, what, is the Guanxuan Universe no longer allowing people to speak the truth?”

Bai Ci’s brows furrowed.

An Yan said: “I know that the reason you’re doing this now is because you don’t want the Young Master to have the reputation of defeat, but have you thought about Ye Tianming? From beginning to end, how much injustice has he suffered? It’s all about the greater good, the greater good, so does that mean ordinary people’s lives don’t matter? Are ordinary people just meant to die?”

As he spoke, he looked around, “Is this what the three generations of the Yang family established order for? If so, what meaning does the order created by three generations of the Yang family have?”

When he heard An Yan’s words, An Xiao directly fainted from fear.

It’s over!

An Xiao knew that their branch of the An family was completely finished.

He truly hadn’t expected his son would dare to speak such treasonous words!

The surrounding people also looked at An Yan with shocked expressions, none of them had expected An Yan would dare to come out and question the Yang family.

Had An Yan gone mad?

Bai Ci stared intently at An Yan, “An Yan, I know Ye Tianming is your friend, but…”

An Yan directly interrupted Bai Ci, “Bai Ci, this isn’t about friendship. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Don’t use the excuse of the greater good. The academy already made a grave error in handling the Xiao family’s matter earlier, and now, does the academy want to continue making mistakes? What, is it so difficult for the academy to give justice to an ordinary person?”

Bai Ci’s expression became somewhat unpleasant.

Xiao Bu angrily said: “An Yan, he…”

An Yan angrily pointed at Xiao Bu, “Shut up, your Xiao family is not worthy to speak to me!”

Xiao Bu was furious, “How dare you!”

As he spoke, a terrifying aura directly pressed toward An Yan.

But at this moment, a force suddenly swept in from the side, instantly shattering that aura.

Everyone turned to look, and the one who had intervened was actually Fa Zhen.

An old man beside Fa Zhen hurriedly said: “Fa Zhen, what are you doing? Don’t act rashly!”

Fa Zhen’s face was expressionless, “If An Yan dares to speak the truth, am I inferior to him?”

As he spoke, he stepped forward.

All along, he and An Yan had been both friends and rivals, because they had different ideologies, so they had always had disputes.

After stepping forward, Fa Zhen looked around at the Guanxuan Guard experts, “You all want to arrest Ye Tianming, may I ask what law has Ye Tianming broken?”

Broken the law!

Everyone: “…”

Feeling the gaze of countless people, Fa Zhen took a deep breath. He knew what consequences he would face by stepping forward now, but he still had to stand up, because fair and just law was Fa Zhen’s lifelong ideal. He had to live up to the books he had read and his ideals!

If he stood by in the face of injustice today, then he, Fa Zhen, would be the biggest accomplice to “lawlessness.”

Fa Zhen took out a thick book of “Guanxuan Divine Law.” He held up the “Guanxuan Divine Law” and looked around, “I am well-versed in Guanxuan law. Ye Tianming has not violated any statute of our Guanxuan Divine Law. Since he has not broken the law, on what grounds does the academy arrest him? On what grounds? What, have individual rights in our Guanxuan Universe now superseded the Guanxuan Divine Law?”

The faces of the Guanxuan Universe’s high-ranking officials became extremely unpleasant.

Because Ye Tianming indeed had not broken any law!

At this moment, Xiao Bu suddenly stood out again, “The woman beside him is a remnant of the Tianlong Clan. The Tianlong Clan committed the crime of treason back then…”

Fa Zhen glared at Xiao Bu, “Shut your mouth, your Xiao family is not worthy to speak to me.”

Xiao Bu: “…”

Fa Zhen looked around at the academy’s high-ranking officials, almost pleadingly: “Everyone, the government must abide by the law! If the government does not abide by the law, it is equivalent to the state committing crimes, and state crimes are the root of all crimes!”

The world fell into dead silence.

Apart from An Yan, no one else stood up!

Because truth and law in the face of power were just bullshit!

At this time, the Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy Principal Ji Shi slowly walked out. He looked at Fa Zhen, “Elder Xiao Bu is right. The woman beside Ye Tianming is a remnant of the Tianlong Clan. Their participation in the Wanzhou Competition this time clearly has sinister intentions, aiming to harm the Young Master…”

Fa Zhen looked at Ji Shi, “Do you understand the law?”

Ji Shi frowned.

Fa Zhen stared at Ji Shi, “The Tianlong Clan committed the crime of treason back then, and those Tianlong members who committed the crime have all been slaughtered, with the rest being expelled… They were expelled, and the Guanxuan Sword Master did not say they were guilty. If even the Guanxuan Sword Master did not declare them guilty, on what grounds do you consider them guilty?”

Ji Shi’s face immediately became unpleasant. Damn it, such troublemakers should be eliminated.

Fa Zhen was about to speak when a man slowly walked out. The man calmly said: “The Tianlong Clan committed the crime of treason. What is treason? It is rebellion. The Guanxuan Sword Master was merciful back then. Although he did not exterminate the entire Tianlong Clan, he forbade them from entering the Guanxuan Universe, banishing them forever. Now this Tianlong from the Tianlong Clan has entered the Guanxuan Universe without permission, which itself is a violation of the Guanxuan Sword Master’s decree, so naturally, they are guilty!”

Upon seeing the man who spoke, everyone’s expressions became solemn.

The speaker was none other than the genius Nalan Ying from the Nalan Clan, currently the most powerful clan after the Yang family!

The Nalan Clan had personally entered the fray!
