Chapter 82

Looking at the lifeless Fucang, Ye Tianming panicked, he was utterly panicked. He tightly hugged Fucang and said in a trembling voice, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister......"

"She is a remnant of the Tianlong Clan!"

At that moment, a furious voice suddenly echoed from the sky. The speaker was Xiao Bu, who angrily pointed at the lifeless Fucang and Ye Tianming, "These two are remnants of the Tianlong Clan, where are the Guanxuan Guards!"

Remnants of the Tianlong Clan!

Terrifying auras swept through the surroundings.

All of them were top-tier experts from the Guanxuan Realm, including some who had reached the Circumstance-Breaking Realm.

In an instant, the area was sealed off by the Guanxuan Academy's experts.

Xiao Bu, in a fit of madness, angrily pointed at Ye Tianming, "Quickly execute this remnant! Execute him quickly!"

Then, he pointed at the woman in a plain dress sitting quietly in the distance, "And her, she is also a remnant of the Tianlong Clan, execute her as well!"

The woman in the plain dress gave Xiao Bu a faint glance......

The Guanxuan Guards around them did not move, as Xiao Bu did not have the authority to command them. They only followed orders from the Inner Cabinet.

At this moment, a voice suddenly said from the shadows, "Seize them."

The speaker was an old man, the current Chief Minister of the Inner Cabinet, Xu Yuan, a disciple of Li Qingsheng.

Xu Yuan stared at Ye Tianming, his face expressionless.

He naturally knew that Ye Tianming was not a remnant of the Tianlong Clan, but at this moment, he had no other choice. If he did not pin this crime on Ye Tianming, how would Young Master Yang Jia be able to maintain his position?

First, he was forced into a corner by Ye Tianming, then he broke his promise, restored his realm, and his mind was eroded......

If Ye Tianming were not dealt with, how could Yang Jia maintain his position?

It couldn't be considered a defeat for Yang Jia, could it?

After all, this match was not just about an individual, but also about the entire Guanxuan Universe. Yang Jia could not afford to lose. His image in the public's mind had to be perfect, with no flaws.

Therefore, the best solution was to eliminate Ye Tianming!

Remnants of the Tianlong Clan!

Pin a crime on him, that was the best way!

After receiving the order from the Chief Minister of the Inner Cabinet, the Guanxuan Guards in the field no longer hesitated and rushed towards Ye Tianming.

But at that moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Tianming. He glared at the Guanxuan Guards around him and loudly questioned, "On what grounds are you seizing him?"

The man who stood up was An Yan!

Seeing An Yan stand up, An Yan's father, An Xiao, immediately turned pale. He rushed to An Yan and angrily said, "Rebel, what are you doing?"

An Yan ignored his father. He looked at the Guanxuan Guards in the sky and said in a voice like thunder, "Today is the Wanzhou Competition. Tianming fought the Young Master fairly. What did he do wrong?"

Xiao Bu stepped forward. He pointed at Ye Tianming not far away and angrily said, "He is a remnant of the Tianlong Clan. What did he do wrong? What crime did the Tianlong Clan commit back then? It was a crime of treason! An Yan, by speaking up for the remnants of the Tianlong Clan, what are your intentions?"

An Yan looked at Xiao Bu, "Does your Xiao family want Tianming dead for this reason? Do you think everyone is a fool? Who doesn't know that your Xiao family wanted to snatch Tianming's special admission quota and, out of anger, decided to kill him to silence him?"

"You are being outrageous!"

Xiao Bu, angered by An Yan's words, said, "An Yan, are you speaking on behalf of your family?"

An Xiao quickly said, "My family has no such intention, I......"

As he spoke, he turned to An Yan and angrily said, "Rebel, why don't you get lost?"

He was both anxious, angry, and afraid!

This Ye Tianming had previously declared that he would challenge the Young Master, and now he was associated with a remnant of the Tianlong Clan...... At this moment, anyone who got involved with him would be in deep trouble.

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 stand by and watch these people treat Tianming like this, because he did nothing wrong!"

As he spoke, he bowed 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 will have nothing to do with the An family."

Hearing An Yan's words, An Xiao was stunned. He said in a trembling voice, "You......"

An Yan slowly stood up and looked around, shouting, "Tell me, what did Ye Tianming do wrong?"

His voice thundered through the air.

What did he do wrong?

Everyone was silent.

What did Ye Tianming do wrong?

He fought the Young Master fairly...... and the Young Master had promised to lower his realm, but in the end, he restored his realm. In a way, it was 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 conspired with the Tianlong Clan......"

An Yan angrily said, "I conspire with your mother's head. What evidence do you have that he conspired with the Tianlong Clan to commit treason? And now, I'm talking about the Wanzhou Competition. The Young Master personally promised to lower his realm and fight Tianming fairly......"

"An Yan!"

At that moment, Bai Ci slowly stepped forward. He looked at An Yan and shook his head.

He naturally knew who was at fault, but like Chief Minister Xu Yuan, he believed that Yang Jia could not lose. If it were determined that Yang Jia lost today, it would deal a fatal blow to his reputation, which would in turn affect the morale of the entire Guanxuan Universe.

The Guanxuan Universe had ambitions for the entire universe, and morale was undoubtedly the most important. If Yang Jia were to lose to a young person of the same realm, his reputation would suffer a severe blow...... Once his reputation was damaged, how could he unite the entire Guanxuan Universe?

Especially now, with the Guanxuan Universe filled with powerful families and sects, and so many internal factions...... Bai Ci knew all these issues, and precisely because of this, the Guanxuan Universe needed a strong figure to震慑 these sects and families!

Therefore, Yang Jia could not lose!

An Yan looked at Bai Ci, "Bai Ci, is it now that the Guanxuan Universe no longer allows people to speak the truth?"

Bai Ci's brows furrowed.

An Yan said, "I know why you are doing this, it's because you don't want the Young Master to have a reputation of losing, but have you thought about Ye Tianming? From the beginning to now, how much injustice has he suffered? You all keep talking about the greater good, the greater good, but can the lives of ordinary people be ignored? Are ordinary people supposed to die just like that?"

As he spoke, he looked around, "Is this what the Yang family's three generations created the order for? If so, what is the meaning of the order created by the Yang family's three generations?"

When An Yan's words were heard, An Xiao fainted on the spot.

It's over!

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

He never thought his son would dare to say such treasonous words!

The people around them also looked at An Yan with shock, never expecting him to question the Yang family......

Is An Yan crazy?

Bai Ci stared at An Yan, "An Yan, I know Ye Tianming is your friend, but......"

An Yan directly interrupted Bai Ci, "Bai Ci, this is not about friendship. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Don't use the excuse of the greater good. The academy was already wrong in handling the Xiao family's issue, and now, is the academy going to continue being wrong? Is it so difficult for the academy to give an ordinary person justice?"

Bai Ci's face turned grim.

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, "You are being outrageous!"

As he spoke, a terrifying aura directly crushed towards An Yan.

At that moment, a force suddenly swept in from the side, instantly shattering that aura.

Everyone turned to see who had acted, and it was Fa Zhen.

Beside Fa Zhen, an old man quickly said, "Fa Zhen, what are you doing? Don't act recklessly!"

Fa Zhen's face was expressionless, "An Yan dares to speak the truth, am I worse than him?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward.

All along, he and An Yan were both friends and rivals, as they had different ideologies, and thus, they had always been in debate.

After Fa Zhen stepped forward, he looked at the Guanxuan Guards around him, "If you want to seize Ye Tianming, what law has he violated?"

Violated the law!

Everyone: "......"

Feeling the gazes of countless people, Fa Zhen took a deep breath. He knew the consequences of stepping forward, but he still had to stand up, because fairness and the rule of law were his lifelong ideals. He had to live up to the books he had read and his ideals!

If he stood by and watched injustice today, he, Fa Zhen, would be the biggest accomplice to injustice.

Fa Zhen took out a thick 'Guanxuan Divine Law' and raised it high, looking around, "I have studied the Guanxuan Law thoroughly. Ye Tianming has not violated any of the laws in the 'Guanxuan Divine Law.' Since he has not violated the law, why is the academy seizing him? Why? Is it that the personal rights of individuals in our Guanxuan Universe have now surpassed the 'Guanxuan Divine Law'?"

The faces of the high-ranking officials in the Guanxuan Universe turned extremely grim......

Because Ye Tianming indeed had not violated the law!

At that moment, Xiao Bu suddenly stepped forward again, "The woman beside him is a remnant of the Tianlong Clan. The Tianlong Clan committed treason back then......"

Fa Zhen glared at Xiao Bu, "Shut up, your Xiao family is not worthy to speak to me."

Xiao Bu: "......"

Fa Zhen looked at the high-ranking officials of the academy, almost pleading, "Ladies and gentlemen, the government must abide by the law! If the government does not abide by the law, it is equivalent to the state committing a crime, and the state's crime is the root of all crimes!"

The world was silent.

No one stood up except An Yan!

Because truth and the law were nothing in the face of power!

At that moment, the head of the Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy, Ji Shi, slowly stepped forward. He looked at Fa Zhen, "Elder Xiao Bu is right. The woman beside Ye Tianming is a remnant of the Tianlong Clan. They came to participate in the Wanzhou Competition with a clear agenda, intending to harm the Young Master......"

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

Ji Shi's brows furrowed.

Fa Zhen stared at Ji Shi, "The Tianlong Clan committed treason back then, but the batch of Tianlong who committed the crime were all slaughtered, and the remaining Tianlong were expelled...... They were expelled, and the Guanxuan Sword Master did not say they were guilty. Even the Guanxuan Sword Master did not determine their guilt, on what grounds do you think they are guilty?"

Ji Shi's face turned grim. Damn, such a thorn should be eliminated.

Just as Fa Zhen was about to speak, a man slowly stepped forward. The man calmly said, "The Tianlong Clan committed treason. What is treason? It is rebellion. Although the Guanxuan Sword Master was merciful and did not exterminate the Tianlong Clan, he did not allow them to enter the Guanxuan Universe again, exiling them forever. Now, the Tianlong from the Tianlong Clan have entered the Guanxuan Universe on their own, which is a violation of the Guanxuan Sword Master's decree, and this is naturally a crime!"

Seeing the man who spoke, everyone in the field became solemn.

The speaker was the genius of the Nalan Clan, the largest clan outside the Yang family: Nalan Ying!

The Nalan Clan had personally entered the scene!
