506: Chapter 506: Pointing out the real culprit (One more) 506: Chapter 506: Pointing out the real culprit (One more) The palace gate gradually opened to the sides, and a figure sauntered into the main hall, donned in a purple robe.

It was Long Yan.

“Kid, who are you?”

Everyone’s gaze was instantly fixated on Long Yan, staring at him with confusion.

Among the people present, only Yu Ying knew who Long Yan was.

The others were seeing Long Yan for the first time.

“I am Long Yan.”

Long Yan stepped forward, standing at the center of the main hall.

His gaze swept across everyone present before finally landing on Xiao Wuqing and then slowly uttered four words.

“He is Long Yan!”

Hearing this, everyone was astonished, their eyes carefully scrutinizing Long Yan.

Although they had not met Long Yan before, they’d heard about him.

The story of Long Yan defeating Zhang Long in a single move was all over the Zhenyang Sect and had everyone wondering what kind of genius had such power.

Seeing Long Yan now, and realising that he was just an eighth-level Martial Venerable, disrupted everyone’s composure.

An eighth-level Martial Venerable defeating a second-level Martial God in a single blow, there couldn’t be many of those in the Southern Wasteland Road, could there?

“Could it be…”

Yu Ying’s gaze fell on Long Yan, and she seemed to have realised something, making her visibly excited, her body trembling with anticipation.

Xiao Wuqing’s expression became stern, and a flash of murderous intent discreetly passed through the depths of his cold eyes.

Long Yan appearing at the Zhenyang Hall at this moment made him uncomfortable, as if Long Yan had discovered something.

“Kid, even if you are a disciple of this sect, you can’t just barge into Zhenyang Hall.

You, an outsider, not only trespassed into Zhenyang Hall but also insulted the Vice Sect Leader.

No matter what reason you have, you won’t escape death.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up, his cold gaze fixed on Long Yan, his words revealing a murderous intent.

Zhenyang Hall was a sacred place of the Zhenyang Sect, and even its own disciples weren’t allowed there without permission.

Anyone who trespassed into Zhenyang Hall would die!

Long Yan was not a part of the Zhenyang Sect, so trespassing into Zhenyang Hall was tantamount to walking into a dead end.

Moreover, Long Yan had spoken rudely and insulted Vice Sect Leader Xiao Wuqing.

“Die!”

As soon as the man finished speaking, he swung his palm at Long Yan, and a powerful momentum erupted.

The middle-aged man was a steward of the Zhenyang Sect and had a cultivation base of the sixth stage of Martial God.

“Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Fist.”

Long Yan frowned, and in the blink of an eye, a strong momentum erupted, and he swiftly threw a punch forward.

Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Fist.

He directly invoked a combat skill.

“Bang!”

In an instant, the Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Fist collided with the palm of the middle-aged man, a powerful force erupted, causing Long Yan to stagger back three steps.

“Hm?”

The middle-aged man also staggered, his brow furrowed.

Despite not exerting his full strength, the power of his palm was at the fourth level of Martial God.

It was a surprise that Long Yan was able to withstand it.

Long Yan’s strength was not simple!

“What an impressive strength!”

Everyone else watched in amazement.

An eighth-level Martial Venerable displaying such power wasn’t simple indeed.

Now, they believed the story of Long Yan defeating Zhang Long in a single move without any doubt.

“Stop.”

Just then, Yu Ying’s voice resonated as she stood up and moved to Long Yan’s side.

“Aunt.”

Long Yan softly called out.

“Are you alright?”

Yu Ying asked.

“I’m fine.”

Long Yan gave a light smile.

Hearing the way Long Yan addressed Yu Ying, everyone furrowed their brows, puzzled about Long Yan’s identity.

“Kid, you’ve got quite the nerve!”

Just then, Xiao Wuqing spoke, his voice laced with cold indifference.

“My boldness has always been big, and yours is no smaller.”

Long Yan raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth hooking into a smile, as he looked directly at Xiao Wuqing.

“Looking for death!”

Xiao Wuqing’s eyes turned cold instantly.

With a clawing gesture, he projected a claw mark towards Long Yan.

“Stop.”

At this instant, Yu Ying made her move.

She struck with a palm, directly shattering Xiao Wuqing’s claw mark.

“Wuqing, what are you doing?”

Yu Ying’s voice carried a tone of reprimand.

“The rules of the Zhenyang Sect must not be broken.

This youngster has trespassed into the Zhenyang Hall, which is basically a road to death.

However, for your sake, my Sister-in-law, I could spare his life; just bereft him of his cultivation.”

Xiao Wuqing said coldly.

“Right, the rules of the Zhenyang Sect can’t be broken.”

The others apparently agreed with Xiao Wuqing’s sentiment.

After all, these had been the rules of the Zhenyang Sect since time immemorial, and no one should be permitted to break them.

“Hahaha…”

At this moment, Long Yan burst out laughing.

“Xiao Wuqing, you’ve quite the arrogance.

Have you been wanting this position for a long time?”

Long Yan sneered, then swept his gaze over everyone else.

He asked, “Don’t you all want to know who the real killer of your Sect Leader and Junior Leader is?”

“You know the truth?”

At these words, both Hua Tianxiong and Hua Tianci stood up, their gazes fixed steadily on Long Yan.

Everyone else in the room reacted in the same way.

“Of course.”

Long Yan’s smile grew even wider.

He said, “If I didn’t know the truth, I wouldn’t have come to the Zhenyang Hall.”

Right away, he shifted his gaze to Xiao Wuqing and pointed at him.

“It was him.

The real killer who murdered your Sect Leader was him!”

A powerful voice echoed through every corner of the Zhenyang Hall.

“What?”

Everyone was shocked at this revelation, as if a thunderclap had just resonated in the room.

Yu Ying, however, shivered.

She naturally trusted Long Yan, and a murderous gleam began to rise in her eyes as she glanced at Xiao Wuqing.

“You brat, talking nonsense!

I won’t tolerate you!”

Xiao Wuqing’s face turned ice cold in an instant, a frigid murderous intent surfacing within his eyes.

At this instant, his Emperor Realm momentum gushed forth, launching another claw attack at Long Yan; this time demonstrating his true Emperor strength.

He made his move mercilessly, clearly intending to kill and silence Long Yan.

“Not good!”

Yu Ying’s expression changed drastically— she knew she would be unable to stop a full-power attack from Xiao Wuqing.

In this split second, Hua Tianxiong made his move — his punch shattering Xiao Wuqing’s claw mark and forming a barrier in front of Long Yan.

Simultaneously, Hua Tianci stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Hua Tianxiong.

“Great Elder, what do you mean by this?”

Xiao Wuqing’s expression darkened as he spoke coldly.

“Are you thinking of committing insubordination?”

In the Zhenyang Sect, insubordination was a capital offense.

Hua Tianxiong first made a fist and bow saluted to Xiao Wuqing, then said:

“Vice Sect Leader, it won’t hurt to let the youngster finish speaking before making your move.

If he is just spouting nonsense, I am willing to take the punishment and ensure that he doesn’t live to see another day.

But if…”

He didn’t complete the last half of his sentence, but his meaning was clear; if what Long Yan was saying was true, they would certainly not let Xiao Wuqing off.

“That’s correct, Vice Sect Leader.

Let the youngster finish what he has to say.

If he slanders you, I’ll be the first to act against him.

No one will be able to protect him.”

Hua Tianci’s opinions echoed Hua Tianxiong’s.
