C668 Kill the Heavenly Martial Sect
"Boom..."
With a thunderous crash, the gates of the inner city of Heavenly Martial City crumbled to the ground. The Heavenly Martial Realm, which had brought fame to Woo Zhengyang and Moh Lunhui just months ago, now lay before everyone.
Woo Zhengyang didn't rush to the Heavenly Martial Sect. Instead, he circled the Heavenly Martial Realm, observing it closely.
"What's he up to?"
"Looks like he's got his eye on the Heavenly Martial Realm."
"You've got to be kidding! Does he really think he can just take it?"
"If it were anyone else, I'd doubt it too. But with Woo Zhengyang, I'm not so sure. Just months ago, the three sects of the Fallen Sun Country were wiped out, and the prized Fallen Sun Tower is now in the Profound Heaven Sect..."
"That's unbelievable! This guy's only been training for a few years, and now he's challenging the Heavenly Martial Sect?"
"What choice does he have now? Besides, this guy may have a reputation for being reckless, but he's always prepared!"
"Exactly. This is going to be interesting. The elder Liao Qinghua from the Heavenly Martial Sect has gathered the martial kings at the Profound Heaven Sect, trying to break their mountain-protecting array just to capture Woo Zhengyang. And here he is, sneaking into the Heavenly Martial Sect unnoticed..."
While the crowd behind him buzzed with speculation, Woo Zhengyang was busy, clutching the Resonance Pearl and probing around, trying to figure out how the Heavenly Martial Realm was positioned there.
Everyone guessed right; Woo Zhengyang indeed had his eyes on the Heavenly Martial Realm. With some help from Moh Lunhui, he stumbled upon the realm's secrets and acquired the "Xuanyuan Formation Diagram" and the "Dragon Elephant Five Elements Technique." Both were rare treasures. If he could find such valuable items by chance, who knew what other treasures lay hidden there? Even if there was nothing else of value, bringing the Heavenly Martial Realm back to the Profound Heaven Sect as a new domain would make a fine gift after his unannounced absence for months.
"You scoundrel, Woo Zhengyang, are you looking to die?" A booming voice interrupted, as several figures rushed over from the direction of the Heavenly Martial Sect's gate. Leading them were Sect Master Yuu Xiaokun and the Grand Elder, Lei Yuetian.
Woo Zhengyang hadn't made much progress in his research when Yuu Xiaokun and Lei Yuetian interrupted him. However, he remained unfazed, looking up at the members of the Heavenly Martial Sect and asking, "How am I looking to die?"
"You recklessly destroyed the gate of our Heavenly Martial City. If that's not looking for trouble, what is?" Grand Elder Lei Yuetian scolded.
"I heard your sect was searching for me everywhere. Since you were in such a hurry, I naturally left in a bit of a rush myself."
"Leaving in a rush doesn't justify breaking down our gate!"
"Is that so..." Woo Zhengyang replied with a sly smile, his expression suddenly turning cold as he shouted, "If leaving in a rush doesn't justify breaking down a gate, then why is it okay for your Heavenly Martial Sect to do the same while searching for me?"
"What nonsense! When did we ever break in?" Ray Yuetian retorted, leaving the others puzzled. Could it be that the Profound Heaven Sect's protective barrier had already been breached? Otherwise, why would Woo Zhengyang say such a thing?
But if the Profound Heaven Sect had fallen, how could Woo Zhengyang be standing here unharmed?
"Nonsense? Then let me ask you, when your Heavenly Martial Sect sent people to Bright Sun City to slaughter hundreds at the Lau mansion, did you walk in openly, or did you break in? When you captured my uncle and cousin and took them to your sect, was it done openly, or did you break in?" Woo Zhengyang spoke each word with intensity, his eyes turning red with anger.
In Bright Sun City, Woo Zhengyang initially thought only his uncle and Lau Ruyan had been taken, and the Lau mansion was sealed, with the city lord's mansion changing hands. It was only after witnessing the memories of the Black Ball Martial King that Woo Zhengyang realized the extent of the atrocities committed, acts so inhumane and heartless.
In those memories, Woo Zhengyang felt as if he were experiencing it all firsthand, yet he could only watch helplessly as familiar faces perished. Whether they had been kind or indifferent to him, their eyes filled with despair before death fueled his growing rage.
Woo Zhengyang believed that such heinous acts might not have been ordered by the Heavenly Martial Sect but were the result of the Black Ball Martial King's own dark heart.
Everything started with the Heavenly Martial Sect, and they can't escape responsibility. That's why Woo Zhengyang came to the Heavenly Martial Sect—to settle the score!
"Those were orders from the ruler of Dongjue Country. What does that have to do with the Heavenly Martial Sect?"
"Really? Would they dare act without your orders? If you hadn't sent that despicable Martial King, would things have turned out this way? Now you want to distance yourselves from this mess, but can you really?"
"Woo Zhengyang, stop spreading lies. I don't know where you heard these rumors, or if you're just trying to smear us. You can't just pin baseless accusations on the Heavenly Martial Sect."
Yuu Xiaokun chimed in, even more evasive than Lei Yuetian, dodging the issue entirely.
"People know right from wrong. I believe the world will judge for itself. You might have wiped out the Lau family, but can you annihilate the citizens of four nations?"
"You're talking nonsense, but your actions today are clear for all to see. No matter what you say, it won't change a thing. Surrender and come with me to the Heavenly Martial Sect to face judgment!"
"What now? Can't argue your way out, so you want to resort to force? Fine, let's settle this with force!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Listening to both sides, people naturally believed Woo Zhengyang. After all, the Heavenly Martial Sect's desire for Woo Zhengyang's King Rank weapon was no secret.
But Woo Zhengyang, isn't it a bit foolish to agree to solve this with force? You don't have those four fairies with you. Do you really think you can take on so many people from the Heavenly Martial Sect?
"Elder Lei, please take down this madman!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Lei Yuetian responded and was about to make a move on Woo Zhengyang.
"Who dares to lay a hand on my master?"
A sharp voice suddenly rang out, coming from the direction of the Heavenly Martial Sect! Everyone turned towards the sound and were immediately captivated by the sight.
A stunning woman in red was walking on air towards them, holding two slightly disheveled figures in each hand. One was a middle-aged man in blue, and the other was a young girl in a pink dress.
"Master, Hongnu has successfully rescued them!"
"Uncle, Ruyan."
The two people brought by Hongnu were, of course, Lau Qinghan and Lau Ruyan.
"Cousin..."
Lau Qinghan managed to keep his composure, knowing it wasn't the time for conversation, and simply nodded at Woo Zhengyang. Lau Ruyan, however, couldn't hold back. Once she reached Woo Zhengyang, she threw herself into his arms, sobbing with relief...
