Demon Cultivators were enemies of the entire world. Even now, after "Yellow Springs Guide" established the Northern Alliance on the New Continent, it had begun openly opposing them and had created specialized agencies to maintain the balance of spiritual energy and strike at organizations and individuals who disrupted that balance.
That was why Yan Wuxiu had reacted so strongly. Once Wanxuan classified the previous attack as him colluding with Demon Cultivators, he would be more or less completely finished. No matter how well he had cultivated his network of connections, no one would dare say another word for him.
"Director Yang, you have to believe me, you really have to believe me! This was an accident!" Ignoring his exhaustion, Yan Wuxiu continued shouting at Yang Wenqing. Seeing that Yang Wenqing paid him no heed, he kept explaining without pause.
Sun Ji asked, "Director Yang, are you all right?"
Yang Wenqing shook his head. "I'm fine!"
Qiu Lian took out two command flags and set up a Divine Arts Formation in the airspace, using a certain Divine Arts Secret Method to investigate the traces left behind by the Demon Cultivators.
Only then did Yang Wenqing look toward the two captives. Jade Pipa remained quiet, calmly awaiting her coming fate. When Yan Wuxiu met his gaze, he immediately shouted, "I really didn't collude with Demon Cultivators! I don't even know them!"
"Take them away first."
Yang Wenqing waved his hand.
Yao Xingzhi and Deng Ming immediately cupped their hands in salute. Then, bringing the two away, they transformed into streaks of light and flew toward the Sky Fortress. At that moment, Ao Yuan rode clouds over under Canglan's protection. Meanwhile, the Water Demons lurking beneath the sea climbed onto the island and, together with Wanxuan's army, began gathering the spoils.
