The Charge of Betraying the Human Race
"Killing Human Race soldiers, can anyone tell me what crime this should be punished with?"
A general in military uniform arrived at the scene the moment after the soldiers breathed their last.
This "coincidence" turned the faces of everyone else present ashen.
As another official force besides the military, the head of the temporary field team from the Maritime Transport Bureau responsible for handling the incident stepped forward.
Good evening, Your Excellency.
He was a composed middle-aged man who first greeted the military leader.
His tone was not humble; instead, he straightened his back.
"First, we must correct your wording. There was no 'murder' involved; these soldiers committed suicide out of guilt."
The group leader was clearly aware that both sides now had powerful figures from the Earth Realm in charge.
Naturally, whoever is in the right holds the advantage.
But the military commanders weren't fools, and besides, they didn't care about the facts.
"Needless to say, the wartime disruption of rear-area order resulted in the deaths of several soldiers—the evidence is irrefutable!"
Clearly, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to teach the City Hall a lesson.
The situation at the front lines is extremely tense.
After that, even the Jade Swallow Continent military might not have the resources to engage in infighting with the Shen City Hall and various factions.
It would be better to take this opportunity to scare these people into submission and make them quiet down.
"Our army is now suppressing the rebel forces in accordance with the Human Race Wartime Regulations!"
"Arrest everyone, and execute any who resist on the spot!"
"Yes!"
The sudden, resounding echoes of the military's imposing presence instantly stunned both the awakened beings and ordinary people from the Yellow Realm present.
Only Yin Xingyue was unaffected; instead, she successfully connected to the communication channel to Yinling Valley.
"Father, the plan failed, several soldiers died, and the military wants to use this as an excuse to attack us."
Only a faint sound came through the communicator.
"Yes, don't linger in battle, return to the sect as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Communication cut off.
At the same time, the soldiers on the other side had already rushed forward.
Yin Xingyue's Psychic Energy flowed rapidly, and her talent was activated instantly!
"Sleepy!"
A massive hexagram, outlined by solidified Psychic Energy threads, appeared.
Everyone present, including the person from the Earth Realm, was instantly frozen in place.
Yin Xingyue pushed off with her feet and instantly rushed towards Yinling Valley.
A moment later, the Earth Realm officer was the first to break free from the shackles of the Oppression Hexagram.
Shortly after he lost control, the Psychic Energy remaining in the Oppression Hexagram was also quickly exhausted.
"Snap!"
The divination result shattered, and everyone resumed their actions.
But it was too late. The Earth Realm officer broke free first, giving him time to capture everyone except Yin Xingyue.
"Take these prisoners back to the warship and await further orders."
After giving his Earth Realm, he turned and chased after Yin Xingyue in the direction she had left.
Upon seeing this, Shisui immediately lost interest in the development of the harbor area.
The next climax of this matter will come after tomorrow's morning paper goes on sale.
Right now, the conflict will erupt in front of Yinling Valley.
The military has wanted to suppress the growing power of sects for a long time; he was merely adding fuel to the fire.
Feathered Ukaku behind him twitched slightly, and Shisui vanished from his spot.
At the same time, Zhang Tao, along with a group of the Maritime Transport Bureau whose minds had been Shisui examined by Zisui, suddenly rose up in protest.
At this moment, Radiant Feathers in Zhang Tao's mind was activated, and Rc Cells and residual toxins spread.
While the Rc Cells drove them to madness, they also boosted their power.
Caught off guard, the soldiers managed to break free of their restraints.
"Grab them!"
The soldiers, still in shock, tried to recapture the Maritime Transport Bureau clerks.
However, the gap in strength narrowed, and the number of personnel in the Maritime Transport Bureau far exceeded the number of soldiers.
Therefore, Zhang Tao and several other members of the Maritime Transport Bureau escaped from the port.
They fled into the streets, their clothes stained with blood attracting much attention and discussion.
Meanwhile, at the City Hall, many people were still working overtime because of the unexpected incident at the harbor.
As a result, the military's every move was embellished and recounted by the few who escaped.
That evening, rumors spread like wildfire throughout the city.
These Human Race, controlled by Rc Cells and forced to burn everything, briefly pushed their limits and collapsed to the ground.
Zhang Tao felt excruciating pain all over his body, and moments later, he lost consciousness forever.
After harvesting the final wave of energy, the Rc Cells were directly transferred using the Spatial Energy on the Radiant Feathers.
No one will ever discover that this place was once home to Predators.
On the other side, outside Yinling Valley.
Yin Xingyue was stopped when she was about a kilometer away from the valley.
Even among those at the same Earth Realm Fourth Realm, battle-hardened officers are still far more skilled in the use of Psychic Energy than younger people.
Therefore, his speed also increased considerably.
However, this place is already very close to Yinling Valley, and the Yinling Sect will not allow its own people to be bullied on their doorstep.
Several figures at the Earth Realm Eighth Realm flew out from Yinling Valley and stood in front of Yin Xingyue.
"Sir, one should be lenient when possible."
The young man at the head of the group wore a polite smile, but there was no fear of the military in his eyes.
Zi Shisui instantly understood the Yinling Sect's contempt and arrogance in the face of the military, despite being the leading sect.
This confidence came out of nowhere.
Is it because their top combat forces are all on the front lines that they can act so blatantly?
Or perhaps, what gives the Yinling Sect the confidence to stand up to the military?
Shisui was unaware of the details, but he could certainly use the military personnel as a tool for probing.
A Radiant Feathers silently traversed space and pierced the back of the officer's neck.
The extremely fine crystalline feather instantly burrowed into the back of the other person's head.
The officer only felt a slight, fleeting pain in his neck, which was not very noticeable.
Therefore, he was focused on confronting the Yinling Sect and didn't pay much attention to it.
By this time, he had already been affected.
The impatience caused by being hindered gradually began to rise and slowly turned into anger.
But the officer suppressed his personal emotions and spoke as if it were a routine matter.
"Hand over the fugitive behind you."
"She's suspected of treason, harboring criminals—what her fate will be is something I doubt the Yinling Sect would want to know."
However, his reminders were clearly useless to these arrogant young talents from various sects.
"You say she's a fugitive, so she's a fugitive? You think you can take away my Yinling Sect disciple without any proof? Dream on!"
No sooner had the other person finished speaking than the officer rushed forward.
He swung the standard halberd in a full moon motion, then brought it down heavily!
"Bang!"
A cultivator at the Earth Realm Eighth Realm was directly blasted back dozens of steps by the immense force.
The young man from the Yinling Sect who was knocked back was initially stunned, but then his anger flared up.
To be publicly defeated by someone whose cultivation level is far lower than one's own is an utter disgrace!
The young man raised his hand and gently deflected the halberd, which instantly shifted and was then pulled back.
The next moment, the young man thrust out a palm strike.
"Bang!"
That seemingly gentle palm strike sent the officer flying.
The figure that flew backward crashed into three thick, ancient trees nearby before finally coming to a stop.
As soon as the dust settled, everyone's expression changed instantly.
The officer's chest was caved in and his pupils were dilated; he was dead on the spot.
The Radiant Feathers within his body also vanished just now, swiftly tearing through space.
This scene was witnessed by the Bound Captive had accompanied Yin Xingyue to this place earlier.
He remained hidden in the shadows, watching the Yinling Sect members dispose of the corpses.
The Bound Captive channeled a wisp of Psychic Energy into the Golden Silk Chain on his wrist, and the information was instantly transmitted.
In the distance, Shisui witnessed the entire event and waited for the army that was about to besiege the Yinling Sect to arrive.
