Chapter 47

Song Xingzhou also didn't believe that Zhou Zhishan would be a revolutionary army member. However, he knew that Zhou Zhishan was a madman among adventurers who wouldn't let go of any ancient secrets. If he knew he was in danger, he would definitely leave the most important things to the most trustworthy person. Such things might not be very useful to ordinary people, but if Du Nan noticed any traps, he wouldn't need to destroy them after obtaining them.

Du Nan felt bitter inside.

Without any defense, that map... if he guessed correctly, it was a lightning-type seed core and something similar to a medium-sized mech. Thinking of the lightning seed core, the danger of its appearance was ten times higher than being an enemy of the entire Blue Sea Federation. At this moment, how could he admit it?

Du Nan's expression made everyone feel differently.

"Such a pity." Tang Zhaixing looked very regretful, firmly believing Du Nan's guilt.

"Kid, you have nothing to say?" Qiao Guanzhai asked, feeling there was a problem but unable to figure it out. Du Nan destroying the map made the situation even harder to reverse. Even though they knew he might have been framed, they couldn't provide solid evidence.

"Yes."

Du Nan looked up, gazing at the old man with Zhou Zhishan's blood on his hand, and asked, "I am Du Nan, Zhou Zhishan's disciple. If I don't die today, I will kill you and exterminate your entire clan tomorrow. Old ghost, I'm giving you a chance to leave your name."

"Hmph, so arrogant." The old man snorted angrily.

He took a step forward.

Loudly, he said, "I am Wu Changlie, the head of the Wu family, a five-star gold mech master of the Blue Sea Federation. Kid, you won't die today. You are a magic energy warrior. Even if you joined the rebel army, we can only restrict your freedom. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, you have two choices. One, the Ice Island of the Blue Sea Federation. Two, the Scrap Star."

"Are you daring to exile a magic energy warrior?" Before Du Nan could speak, the Magic Association's Grandpa Yue's face turned ashen, ready to fight at any moment.

"Grandpa Yue, you misunderstood. Without the guarantee of the federal government or the military, we can only handle it this way." Wu Changlie indicated that this was not his personal opinion but the traditional way of handling such situations. If Du Nan didn't want to be exiled, he could seek the protection of the federal government or the military, proving that he had left the rebel army and gaining the support of relevant forces.

Du Nan understood.

Qiao Banzhai also understood some of it. It seemed that he shouldn't have appeared today. The federal authorities seemed to want to use this method to force the child to comply.

"Brother Du, what do you think..." Wu Mingzhao was about to speak.

Du Nan waved to interrupt him and said, "I won't join any faction. I'm going to the Scrap Star. Just breathing the same air as you on this planet makes me feel nauseous. Before I leave, I have one thing to say. The next time I return to the Blue Sea Star, if even one member of your Wu family survives, I will cut off my head and bring it to my master's grave."

Everyone heard this.

They were shocked.

Then, they turned it into a mocking smile. In their eyes, this was just an ungraduated child, and his arrogant words were just hot air. There were many ambitious magic energy warriors, but who could truly achieve their goals? Qin Zhong defended the shallow sea to the death. Li Qifeng laughed proudly for thirty years in the blue sky... Apart from them, who else could keep their promises?

"Wait." Grandpa Yue stepped forward, stopping the mech from taking Du Nan away. "Before I came, President Luo said you have another place to stay, the Magic Association."

"Thank you for President Luo's kindness, but it's unnecessary." Du Nan firmly refused and walked into the travel cabin. "It's just a big cage and a small cage. What's the difference? If I have to choose, I'd rather choose a bigger cage. I appreciate President Luo's kindness, but I'll call you Grandpa Yue. Since the investigation won't yield results, you can cool off. One day, I'll come back on my own."

"Hmph!" Wu Changlie snorted.

He thought this kid didn't know that the Scrap Star was a place where you could only enter but never leave.

Unless there was an order from the federation.

Otherwise, any target flying higher than ten thousand meters would be blasted into pieces by countless defense cannons, and no one could leave the Scrap Star.

*********

"Today, if you weren't here, Elder Qiao, Brother Du would have gone on a killing spree."

In the White Spring City council hall, a group of powerful nobles were discussing. Du Nan was taken away and sent to the Scrap Star, and the matter still needed further investigation. Tang Zhaixing, representing one of the eight master clans, was fully investigating the incident. Wu Changlie and his grandson Wu Mingzhao naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to curry favor with the eight master clans. Grandpa Yue of the Magic Association left in anger, and the Li family members and Jin Ling, who had some connection, rushed to the scene. They had some understanding of the truth.

While they were discussing, Li Wenfu's voice came from outside.

Wu Mingzhao heard it and laughed, "Brother Wenfu, you're joking. You just came back and don't know what happened. The main issue today is that Brother Du hid that map. If he had handed it over, things would have been easier to handle. We believe in Brother Du, but now..."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Li Wenfu's voice came, and the door was pushed open.

Wu Mingzhao was about to step forward to explain.

Suddenly.

A strange smell, a fierce beast-like aura rushed in. All the powerful people in the hall stood up abruptly, even Jin Ling and Elder Qiao frowned. At that moment, everyone felt that a mountain-like insect corpse, emitting a strong stench, and a fierce god who had slaughtered millions of lives, was slowly approaching.

Creak!

Li Wenfu pushed the door open, and even Li Grandpa and Li Father had the illusion that they didn't recognize this person.

"I was born and raised in the eighty-eight noble families, and only now do I realize how filthy it is. A member of the revolutionary army. Hmph, what a righteous reason. Wu Mingzhao, do you think everyone can't see through your deliberate framing of Brother Du? Some even filthier people probably want to use this opportunity to tie Brother Du to their own war chariot."

"Brother Wenfu, you..."

Wu Mingzhao suppressed his fear and was about to step forward. Li Wenfu waved his arm, as if it were a habitual gesture to swat insects, and sent Wu Mingzhao flying into the wall, breaking through it and smashing countless tables and chairs, finally stopping after crashing through three or four halls.

With just one strike, he was left with half a life.

Li Wenfu looked at him with disgust, "Get lost, scum. If I cared about the Li family, I would have killed you by now."

"Kid Li, you're so arrogant."

Wu Changlie was shaken, seeing his grandson being thrown, and rushed forward, seemingly ready to teach the young man a lesson.

Li Father was about to protect his son, but Li Grandpa held him back.

At that moment, a shadow appeared behind Wu Changlie, a tall and slender shadow. Everyone was surprised, wondering when this person had entered. They heard, "Grandpa Wu, do you also want to interfere with the young people's quarrel? Remember, when Third Brother was beaten to a bloody pulp by Wu Mingzhao, were your eyes blind then?"

Whoosh!

Wu Changlie felt something behind him and struck back with his elbow. In an instant, Li Yinzhu was standing ten meters away.

"Grandpa Wu, your hand is heavy." Li Yinzhu's magic energy slightly overflowed, showing no fear. "A five-star gold mech master, so you're just a bully of children? Well, Yinzhu has always remembered how Third Brother was bullied. If Grandpa Wu thinks he has the ability, let's practice today, so outsiders won't say that the Li family's children are getting more cowardly."

"Hmph!" Wu Changlie, seeing Li Yinzhu's fighting spirit, couldn't help but step back a few steps and turned to treat Wu Mingzhao.

Three-star!

The Li family is so cunning, hiding such an important piece.

Wu Changlie didn't dare to compete with the young people. Winning would be embarrassing, and if something went wrong, it would be even more embarrassing.

Tang Zhaixing, seeing Li Yinzhu's long legs, showed a greedy look, then quickly returned to normal and stepped forward to speak, "Sister Li, you're exaggerating. Grandpa Wu naturally won't quarrel with the young people. But Brother Wenfu injured someone with his first move, and the old man has some objections. I believe you haven't fully understood the situation. Regarding Brother Du..."

"A simple trap, right? It fits Brother Du's bad temper." Lu Sheng, with four eyes, had also entered.

He, a commoner, showed no respect to the group of nobles.

"You are..." Tang Zhaixing was slightly displeased.

"Lu Sheng, a common citizen. Young Master Tang, should a small citizen show a fearful face when seeing a noble of the eight master clans?" Lu Sheng, hearing that Du Nan was exiled to the Scrap Star and thinking of the possible framing, had no good feelings left for these nobles.

"You... Haha, you are all teammates, and I understand your feelings. But today, Brother Du did handle the matter improperly. If we find new evidence, we can quickly release him. Magic energy warriors are treasures, and we wouldn't destroy our own walls. As a member of the eight master clans, we have that awareness."

"Hmph, naive." Li Wenfu snorted, no longer regarding Tang Zhaixing as a 'high wall': "You're waiting for Brother Du to seek protection from the military or the federation, right? Young Master Tang, I always thought you were a flying eagle in the sky, but it turns out you're just a chicken on the ground."

"Ah." Tang Zhaixing's face changed.

As a son of heaven, how could he tolerate such 'insults'?

Just as he was about to get angry.

A loud noise came from outside, "Wu Mingzhao, you mad dog, what have you done?"

The voice echoed.

Before the person arrived, a wave of intense heat rose in the council hall. Some decorative items instantly caught fire. The temperature in the hall seemed to rise by dozens of degrees, and breathing felt like swallowing hot water. A scorched palm print slowly spread on the door. In the intense heat, without any visible flames, the door turned into charcoal.

Yin Ling, enveloped in a layer of distorted air waves, strode in.

She scanned the people in the hall.

Suddenly, she said, "Elder Qiao is here too. I was wondering why you scum didn't die."

Everyone, thinking of Li Wenfu's 'killing spree' words, wondered if Du Nan would really dare to attack if Elder Qiao wasn't present. A small warrior who had just fused a two-star shallow blue core half a year ago, no matter how arrogant, could he dare to fight so many powerful people?

Qiao Banzhai's face was extremely bad.

Seeing the significant changes in the Silver Leaf Group, he felt even more like a pawn.

"Sister Yin Ling, you misunderstood."

Seeing Yin Ling appear, Tang Zhaixing quickly stepped forward to speak. As the only 'fire' in the Blue Sea Federation, he had long coveted her.

But at this moment.

"Stay away from me." Ye Binghua, with her head down, followed behind Yin Ling.

"Ah..." Tang Zhaixing was puzzled.

"Be careful, Young Master!"

Not far away, his guard roared, unleashing all his magic energy and rushing to Tang Zhaixing's side, raising his arms to shield him. In that instant, Ye Binghua had already raised her hand, pointing a finger like a 'gun' and softly saying, "Stay away from me."

Boom!

Ye Binghua's finger moved, and the council hall shook with a thunderous sound.

In the air.

A distorted light streak shot through, piercing the guard's arms and his magic energy-filled chest... and continued to shoot, leaving a bloody mark on Tang Zhaixing's face. If the guard hadn't changed the trajectory of this 'sniper shot' at the cost of his life, Tang Zhaixing's head would have exploded like a rotten watermelon.

"How is this possible..."

Tang Zhaixing muttered, cold sweat drenching his back.

He couldn't believe that without any gun, air alone could 'shoot' such a powerful shot. He also couldn't believe that someone on the Blue Sea Star would dare to attack a member of the eight master clans, and with such a ruthless and lethal strike.

Is this a dream?
