Chapter 86 - Foreign Prince Bailed Infamous Pirates, Claimed They Were Overenthusiastic Recruiters, Not Human Traffickers. Investigators Discovered Evidence of Bribery.

100 kilometers east of the Divine Cloud Sect, the fleet of Yuemei Wuxin halted their advance due to a single individual.

Lu Liang hovered in the sky, confronting the crowd of demonic foxes with his two halberds. Unleashing the authority of an imperial agent, he exuded the aura of 9th rank immortal while the demonic fox cultivation was suppressed to the quasi-immortal stage.

Facing such a strong foe, Yuemei Wuxin gnashed his teeth. He ordered his troops.

"Halt the advance. Call the prince to come up to the deck."

The Yuemei Clan’s fleet decelerated and formed ranks, preparing for combat.

Lu Liang had no intention of letting the villainous demons go unpunished. He announced Yuemei Wuxin’s crimes, as he prepared to fight.

"Yuemei Wuxin! You have descended into a mortal world and murdered countless innocent mortals! You abducted and enslaved innocent maidens. You conspired with the wanted terrorist, Xiao Han Ce, and murdered 1,550 immortals. The number of your crimes soar through heaven! Surrender now, and your clan will be spared. Resist, and we shall mobilize our troops and hunt you down to the last man, including your families! Everybody with Yuemei surname will be purged!"

"SILENCE!" Yuemei Wuxin was enraged. "You and your arrogant emperor know nothing! We abduct humans? We kill humans? Hah! Look at yourself in a mirror first, you hypocrite! How many mortal worlds have you destroyed to cover up for your masters this year?! SEVEN! For what? Because they were born different! Your fake righteousness makes me sick!"

Lu Liang frowned deeply. He never destroyed worlds, but he wasn’t confident that his colleagues or superior officers were clean. He heard rumors, but he never witnessed the "Erase" procedure himself.

He snorted. "Excuses. You cannot blame your crime on someone else."

"Ptui! You will never catch me!"

Lu Liang’s eyes narrowed. He enchanted his weapons with karma coins and charged forward. Instantly, he caught up with one of Yuemei Wuxin’s battleships and sliced it in half. A thousand afterimages of halberd cleaves cut through the crew members, turning them into dust.

He stepped on the falling ship’s bow. As he was about to jump to another ship, a jade slip in his clothes vibrated, and the voice of his superior officer entered his mind.

’Commander Lu Liang, stand down. We’ve been ordered by royalty to leave the Yuemei Clan alone.’

"WHAT?!"

Lu Liang couldn’t believe his ears. He fetched the jade slip and yelled at it.

"WHO WAS IT?! WHO’S THE IDIOT THAT GAVE THAT ORDER?!"

’His Highness, the crown prince, Dong Min.’

"..."

Lu Liang gnashed his teeth. Meanwhile, Yuemei Wuxin laughed at the agent and turned around, looking at his guest.

Coming out of the cabin was an obese young man with swelling zits all over his face and skin. Pus and yellowish liquid dripped from some of the infected skins, yet the man looked comfortable, as though he had been living in that condition for his entire life.

He was Dong Min, the one who ordered the Lu Clan’s agents to stop interfering with the Yuemei Clan.

Dong Min smirked and bellowed.

"Stand down, man of Lu! Yuemei Wuxin is our friend! If you get in the way, we will consider you a traitor to the imperial heaven!"

Finding the crown prince among the criminals infuriated Lu Liang. Based on his greedy nature, he might have received bribes from Yuemei Wuxin. Moreover, Dong Min was known to be lustful. The bribes could be none other than women.

Lu Liang was under a dao oath. Unable to disobey official members of the royal family, he put away his halberds and protested.

"Your Highness! Colluding with terrorists and demons is a crime punishable by Heavenly Laws! His Majesty, the emperor will not tolerate this!"

Dong Min scoffed. "Know your place, slave! We do whatever we want! If we want you dead, you’ll be dead!"

"..."

Lu Liang thought of a thousand ways to kill Dong Min and Yuemei Wuxin, but he couldn’t find a method to do so under these circumstances.

Then he thought of Fu Tong, who was coincidentally lurking in the Divine Cloud Sect. Coincidentally, based on their flight course, Yuemei Wuxin’s fleet was heading toward that destination.

They were bound to meet.

Lu Liang smirked. He had a plan.

For a long time, Dong Min had been abusing his authority and indulged in various atrocities. He was not suited to be the successor of the emperor. Several other official princes also did the same, which disgusted Lu Liang.

However, Fu Tong was different. Although exiled, he carried himself with the air of a well-educated man. If he had to bet, he would rather serve a mysterious rogue prince than the current royal members.

"Have it your way. You’ve been enjoying that privilege because you were born first, but remember this. According to the laws, royal members may keep what they kill! You’re not the only child of the emperor."

"Heh, you dare threaten me? How about I order you to commit suicide right here?"

"Without the emperor’s direct approval, that order is null and void. You have no authority over my life, only my duty! Also, the other royal members can command me to protect them if needed... even if they are not officially recognized by the royal court!"

"Keep moaning. Now, get out of my sight before I report this to the royal court!"

Lu Liang sneered. He turned around and flew back toward the Divine Cloud Sect.

-

Meanwhile, at the Divine Cloud Sect, registration for the tournament was ongoing. Disciples queued in front of contribution halls to confirm their participation. This was the last day of registration.

Fu Tong had the advantage of being an official core disciple of Li Wushuang. His name was automatically put on the list, as all core disciples were required to participate. However, he had to attend a certain meeting first.

In the meeting hall, elders of the sect gathered for the final meeting before the event. Brainwashed people assembled and sat quietly. Their core disciples stood silently behind them, representing their mentor.

Fu Tong also participated in this meeting as Li Wushuang’s core disciple. He also stood behind her, gazing at the crowd.

Tang Youyan followed Zou Laoye into the meeting hall. When the girl saw Fu Tong, she waved her hand and winked. Playfully, she slapped her butt where Fu Tong always smacked her.

Li Wushuang noticed that. She secretly pinched Fu Tong’s thigh and whispered to Fu Tong.

’Husband, what did you do to that female disciple?!’

Fu Tong broke a sweat and shook his head, denying the accusation.

’I didn’t do anything. She’s been chasing me around. You know, teenage puppy love.’

’That’s the princess of the Tang Clan, husband. They have more influence than my sect, and their ancestors have already ascended to the saint realm. Don’t get us into trouble.’

’I know.’

Both husband and wife sighed deeply. They prayed that Tang Youyan would not cause a scene.

While they were whispering, the people from the Yin Clan arrived, led by Yin Qingming. Yin Suyin and her disciple, Yin Yiheng, also showed up.

Following Yin Qingming was his son, the strongest core disciple. His cultivation was level 9 of the golden core stage, stronger than most elders and deacons.
