We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

The calm expression on Hai Ruyuan's face vanished the instant the explosive sound rang out. His narrowed eyes snapped open, and his pupils contracted sharply.

An overwhelming emotion welled up within him.

"Attack!"

"Attack!!"

"This, this...this is blood?! Whose blood?!?" In just an instant, all the representatives of the forces present became alert, and their vigilance was raised to the highest level.

As for that slightly lazy voice, many people didn't pay it any mind.

But she quickly relaxed again.

This is the most important place in Kyoto. If even a group of powerful experts at the Divine Palace Realm couldn't stop the attack here, what use are these Moon Embracing Realm warriors?

However, that's what they say.

However, some seasoned warriors at the Embracing Moon Realm did not completely relax, and their Force Armor covered every inch of their bodies from every angle.

Muscles tense, ready to strike.

But that's only part of it.

soon.

"Old Fang?!" The attention of all the representatives of the factions was instantly drawn to a startled voice. They looked in the direction of the voice and discovered a scene that terrified all the representatives of the factions.

Fang Wenshan, the spokesperson for Mingguang Society who originally had a calm and smug smile on his face, has now become "Xingtian".

It's a pity that Vincent Fang doesn't have the extraordinary vitality of Xing Tian.

Fang Wenshan's body had already fallen into a pool of blood while everyone was still caught up in the attack. However, due to the powerful vitality of his body, he was still producing blood, and fresh blood flowed out like a long river.

It quickly spread into a large puddle and dripped down the steps, drop by drop.

"Die! No! Regret!!!" Hai Ruyuan suddenly stood up, turned to where Shi Buhui was, his eyes wide as copper bells, spitting out flames of rage, and shouted sharply:

"What are you trying to do?! Do you know what your behavior means?!"

Hai Ruyuan spoke these two sentences almost word by word, which shows how intense his anger was.

All of a sudden.

'Alright, now there's no one to object.'

Almost all the representatives of the various factions, except for those whose minds had already shut down, had come to their senses, and the slightly lazy words echoed in their minds.

Even the most slow-witted representatives of the faction realized what was happening at this moment.

The person who killed Fang Wenshan was none other than the man on stage who was currently picking his ears with an ear pick, sitting cross-legged in a chair with a nonchalant expression, named Si Bu Hui.

"What are you doing? Elder Hai, can't you see it now?" Si Buhui sat up slightly, but his expression remained indifferent, seemingly not taking Hai Ruyuan's question seriously at all, and answered calmly:

"Eliminate the Mingguang Society's spies planted within the Great Xia."

"But that's not what you said before."

"Huh? Really? My memory isn't very good." Deathly Unrepentant, completely unfazed, scratched his head and frowned, saying:
"Why don't we ask Vincent Fang? I just said whether I said that or not."

Seeing that Si Bu Hui didn't even bother to pretend, Hai Ruyuan's face turned even more ashen, and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

This is clearly blatant lying; they said it one minute and didn't even mention it the next.

Hai Ruyuan's expression now is exactly the same as it was just a few dozen seconds ago.

"Oh, this guy's already dead." Deathly Regret glanced at the body lying on the ground, sniffed it lightly, and immediately a grim expression appeared on his face. He shook his head and said:

"Or you could ask the representatives of the various factions sitting below. Anyone who wants to speak can say whatever they want, and I guarantee I won't harm a single hair on your head."

In an instant.

The representatives of all factions were sweating profusely, wishing they could leave this place as soon as possible or find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Some of them were already cursing in their hearts.

How should he answer this?

Did you hear me?
Given the current situation, it is highly likely that he will become the next Vincent Fang, and in a truly irreversible way, with no way to prove his innocence.

Why are martial artists at the Divine Palace Realm addressed as "Supreme One"?
Because they haven't reached the Divine Palace Realm, they are ultimately just ants. When a Divine Palace Realm warrior wants to kill someone, that person can't even defend themselves.

Because a Divine Palace Realm warrior can kill a warrior below the peak of the Embracing Moon Realm with just a casual glance.

Not to mention the many other methods.

As for saying you didn't hear it?

That would be even worse. Just look at how ugly Hai Ruyuan looks right now. If he were to answer that question now, it would be like adding fuel to the fire.

Therefore, despite cursing each other to the death in their hearts, all the representatives of power had no choice but to pretend to be ostriches again in this hall.

At the same time, many people also recalled the terror of the Divine Palace Realm experts.

In this era of individual power, there has never been a shortage of ambitious individuals, after all, a martial artist's fist is not like power.

It's just a paper tiger.

Especially at the beginning of the new era, in that time filled with blood and fire.

Although these representatives of the forces could only learn about that era through holographic projection, it was fortunate that it was a holographic projection experience, rather than personally experiencing that era of blood and fire.

Every few decades, there are ambitious individuals who consider themselves clever and want to carve up territory.

Little did they know that even the Mingguang Society, backed by three powerful Divine Palace Realm experts, was merely a mid-level martial artist who dared to infiltrate the Great Xia in secret.

They wouldn't even dare to touch those experts at the Divine Palace Realm.

"Tsk, Mr. Hai, look." Si Bu Hui's face showed an embarrassed expression. He spread his hands, looking ashamed, and continued helplessly:
"If none of these people are answering, then it's highly likely that they didn't hear it."

All of a sudden.

The representatives of all the factions cursed even more fiercely in their hearts, even bringing up their ancestors who would never repent.

Does that mean not answering?

That's clearly because they're too afraid to answer!
Unfortunately, Si Bu Hui is an orphan. He doesn't even know who his ancestors were. Apart from his personal disciple Shen Bailian, he is all alone in this world.

He would be overjoyed if these people could help him trace his ancestors back eight generations.

Everyone present was a shrewd and intelligent person.
Of course, someone who isn't shrewd wouldn't be chosen by a force to act as its spokesperson; otherwise, a single wrong word could be amplified many times over by the outside world, potentially leading to their own downfall.

While ostrich-like behavior is unsightly, can't we see that representatives of many powerful forces are also ostrich-like?

Thinking about it this way, I felt much better. "You unrepentant fool, what are you doing?" Suddenly, a reprimanding voice, which, upon closer listening, carried a hint of joy, rang out in the empty hall.

That reprimand came from Xiong Kuohai.

Xiong Kuohai looked at Si Buhui with satisfaction. Although he was scolding him, anyone with eyes could see that he was so open that he could hardly hide his true feelings.

This was the "unless..." that he had been thinking about before.

Strictly speaking, this situation is not a dead end, but it is a dead end relative to Xiong Kuohai himself, because he is not just a simple Divine Palace Realm expert.

Moreover, he is the principal of the Tiangang Academy.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

But Si Bu Hui is completely different. Apart from Shen Bailian, his only direct disciple, he is now completely alone in this world.

No worries.

Moreover, he is a powerful expert at the Divine Palace Realm. Once his rebellious mentality is aroused, it is unimaginable what kind of harm and loss he could cause to the Great Xia.

Si Bu Hui had anticipated this, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He knew that his way out had come. He then spread his hands and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I was just in a hurry."

"Besides, I was acting entirely in self-defense."

"Think about this, everyone here." With that, Si Bu Hui lay back in his chair, crossed his legs, and calmly said, "If someone were to say such things to you in front of you, wanting to use your only disciple as an experiment, who could tolerate it?"

"And Fang Wenshan is quite something. Not only did he do it, but he also shamelessly said that the rise and fall of the Great Xia Dynasty is the responsibility of every citizen."

And he even put on a smug and triumphant air, which would make any master feel heartbroken and want to kill him.

"Furthermore, Fang Wenshan is a spy planted by the Mingguang Society within the Great Xia, and I cannot sense any respect from him for someone like me or for a Divine Palace Realm expert like Principal Xiong. This is blatant provocation."

"He deserves to be executed!"

When he said the last few words, his voice suddenly became louder, almost uttering each word clearly, and his voice grew even louder.

And he straightened his body slightly.

This shows how much effort they put in.

The representatives of various major forces watched Si Bu Hui's extremely awkward acting and wished they could dig a hole in the ground with their big toes and crawl into it.

It's truly remarkable that someone so determined to die would be able to come up with such a statement.

However, Si Bu Hui was quite satisfied with his performance, because the people of Da Xia liked to have a legitimate reason for doing things, and even if they didn't have that "reason," they would create one.

Only in this way can we occupy the moral high ground afterward.

The reason is simple: if this happened elsewhere, Fang Wenshan's act of offending two powerful experts at the Divine Palace Realm and then killing them without cause would be wrong, but it would also be within reason.

After all, no matter what, Si Bu Hui is still a powerful expert at the Divine Palace Realm.

However, this is the main hall of Kyoto, the very heart of the city, a place where representatives from all walks of life can speak freely.

But now such a bloody incident has occurred.

This behavior is nothing short of blatant provocation. Without a good pretext or a legitimate reason, if Hai Ruyuan were to seriously investigate, even the most resolute person would suffer greatly.

However, this alone is not enough to dispel the incomprehensible thoughts in some people's minds.

“But,” said the Unrepentant One, then suddenly changed the subject, stood up, and looked extremely annoyed, saying:

“If you are truly angry, I can certainly accept your punishment, but if you punish me for this matter, that is unacceptable.”

"I'll be frank right here today." As he said this, Deathless's eyes suddenly turned gloomy and cold, releasing a trace of the pressure of a Divine Palace Realm expert.

His gaze was like a torch, carrying immense pressure. Wherever he went, all the representatives of the various forces felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on their shoulders, so heavy that it almost broke their spines.

Their heartbeats stopped abruptly at that moment, as if their hearts were being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

Sweat dripped from their foreheads and noses like a fine drizzle, soaking their clothes. Their lowered eyes gleamed with fear and unease, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

This intense killing intent, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, loomed over the hearts of every representative of the forces, making it impossible to breathe or escape.

Is someone who refuses to regret dying in a fit of madness?

This was the thought in the hearts of all the representatives of the forces, especially the twenty or thirty representatives who had originally loudly agreed with Fang Wenshan's proposal; at this moment, they wished they could just faint.

It's just a pity that they can't.

"If such bullying of the weak occurs again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless. Anyone who lays a finger on my disciple will have their entire family wiped out."

"If anyone dares to secretly plot against me, don't blame me for showing no mercy and wiping out their entire clan!"

After speaking, Si Bu Hui withdrew the trace of pressure that belonged to a Divine Palace Realm expert.

In an instant.

The only sound in the entire hall was the constant echo of heavy breathing.

"Elder Hai, what do you think?" Xiong Kuohai suppressed the smirk on his face, turned around, looked at Hai Ruyuan whose eyes were blazing with anger, and said in a deep voice:
"At this point, saying anything more will be of no use. Let's put this matter aside for now. I will definitely punish those who deserve it afterward."

"After all, no matter what, Shen Bailian is the only direct disciple of Brother Si in this world. He has no other attachments. It is understandable that Brother Si acted impulsively because the other party treated Brother Si's direct disciple this way."

"Furthermore, Fang Wenshan is the spokesperson for the Mingguang Society's branch in Daxia. I believe you, Elder Hai, are well aware of the Mingguang Society's long-standing intentions."

I trust you wouldn't do something that hurts your loved ones and pleases your enemies, would you?

"Hmph!" Hai Ruyuan looked at the indifferent Si Buhui, the earnest Xiong Kuohai, and the unmoved Shen Xinghe beside him, and snorted coldly. His expression softened slightly as he said calmly:

"Since that's the case, then I'll punish him by making him guard the South China Sea for ten years! Without my permission, he shall not step out of the South China Sea territory."

After saying that, Hai Ruyuan suddenly waved his sleeve, and then his full-system 3D projection disappeared into the empty and desolate hall in an instant.

Unrepentant was stunned.

Is this matter really being moved on so easily?

Guarding the South China Sea for ten years? Can that even be considered a punishment? After all, demigod-level ferocious beasts are not that common, and ferocious beasts below the demigod level are unlikely to pose a threat to a veteran Divine Palace Realm expert like Si Bu Hui.

Furthermore, the South China Sea is an extremely rich region, producing one-fifth of the total rare and precious materials of the Great Xia Dynasty throughout the year.

Even Xiong Kuohai felt the same way, but only for a moment before a helpless smile appeared on his face.

Because he had already figured out the reason behind it.

"Your brain is much more agile than that blockhead, Si Bu Hui." Shen Xinghe stood up, glanced indifferently at Xiong Kuohai, and then vanished from the hall like a bubble bursting. (End of Chapter)
