"Who slandered you!"
The Luan Teng roared in rebuttal, trying to appear innocent.
Ning Chuan's status in the Federation was far higher than he had imagined. He couldn't give Ning Chuan a chance, so he explained, "You didn't steal anything, but I didn't lie either!"
"That area was separated by the power of the Law Bomb, causing violent fluctuations that may have distorted my domain and led to errors in my perception!"
Luan Teng gritted his teeth and said, his face turning pale and then red.
This excuse is only logically plausible.
It's not very convincing.
It also makes it seem like he's yielding to Ning Chuan.
But he had no other choice.
Ning Chuan gave a faint, cold laugh, turned his gaze away, and ignored the Luan Teng.
Unless he performs a soul search, he cannot determine whether it is true or false.
A mere suspicion is not enough to justify his attack on a Heavenly King of a different race.
The Federation and the alien races haven't completely fallen out yet.
Ning Chuan looked at Xi Fengrou, whom he was holding in his hand.
Xi Fengrou turned her face halfway, and could barely see Ning Chuan.
In a hoarse voice, she said, "I'm willing to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive my abrupt behavior. I'm extremely sorry."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Liu Cangdong stared at Ning Chuan and said coldly, "She has apologized and proven your innocence. Release her."
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow, his tone mocking, and said, "An apology can absolve you of a death sentence? If that's the case, then stand still and let me kill you, and I promise I'll apologize!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Cangdong's eyes turned cold, filled with a violent killing intent, as if he wanted to devour someone.
He was merely someone comparable to the Spring Realm, yet he had repeatedly provoked and mocked him, which truly infuriated him.
What made Liu Cangdong even more frustrated was...
The opposing side is protected by two Great River Realm Heavenly King!
At this stage, he really has no other choice.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Cangdong forced himself to remain calm and said coldly, "You killed Fan Yu and let Xi Fengrou go. That settles the matter, and I won't pursue it any further."
"You're not going to pursue this?"
Ning Chuan curled his lip and sneered, " Fan Yu attacked me without any explanation, so I killed him purely in self-defense!"
"I'm being lenient by not demanding an explanation from the Holy Heaven Alliance!"
Hearing Ning Chuan's words, Liu Cangdong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said sarcastically, "So you're saying I should compensate you?"
"Is there a problem?!"
Ning Chuan sneered and said, "Just because you've been in a high position for a long time, do you think everyone will listen to your every word?"
"Your status is useless to me. Don't put on airs; it's pointless."
Ning Chuan directly addressed the core of the problem.
"Arrogant!"
Liu Cangdong roared, unleashing a powerful aura that swept across the land.
Instantly, the void trembled, and the North Sea churned!
The power of the Great River Realm is truly terrifying!
However, just like before, it was shattered by Bai Qi and Wei Chen while still some distance away from Ning Chuan.
Liu Cangdong glared at the two men and said, "A Knight, so ungrateful, and you still want to protect him!"
Bai Qi remained silent, his spear still in his hand, thus making his stance clear.
Wei Chen stroked his chin and said with a smile, "I think Ning Chuan makes a lot of sense. If you think there's anything wrong, just point it out."
"Don't always think of solving things with force; you can't win!"
Wei Chen smiled jokingly and said, "Why don't you go and call over a few Great River Realm Heavenly King from the Holy Heaven Alliance first, and then we can continue our discussion?"
Liu Cangdong naturally wouldn't leave.
His face was cold as he looked at Ning Chuan again and said, "What do you want to do!"
Ning Chuan smiled slightly and said, "I'll give you two choices..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Cangdong's face darkened so much it was almost dripping with water.
Ning Chuan was using his words to mock him.
He had said something similar before, telling Ning Chuan to either surrender or be killed by him.
Now, however, I have to face it myself.
"If you want Xi Fengrou back, bring something in exchange."
Ning Chuan said calmly and unhurriedly, "Either I kill her."
Upon hearing this, Xi Fengrou felt a chill run down her spine, filled with resentment towards Ning Chuan, yet also with a touch of regret.
She shouldn't have risked slandering him.
The price was too high!
"Stop, don't rush!"
Seeing that Liu Cangdong was about to speak, Ning Chuan raised his hand to stop him and said calmly, "There's no need for threats. If you want her to live, you only have one option: ransom her."
"Okay, you're very good!"
Liu Cangdong nodded, then laughed angrily, saying, "What treasure do you want? Just say it!"
Ning Chuan did not rush to answer. He channeled his Force and simultaneously transmitted his voice to Wei Chen, Bai Qi, Qin Lang, and the others, preparing to discuss the matter first.
"Can Xi Fengrou be used to obtain a special passage to the Divine Martial Stele?"
The stronger the Federation is within the Divine Martial Stele, the more likely it is to seize the inheritance of the Daoist lineage within.
Ning Chuan was quite interested in it.
After all, the improvement he received from martial arts far surpassed that of others.
"Disaster!"
At this moment, Bai Qi's voice rang out, as brief and concise as ever.
Wei Chen explained the reason for him, saying, "Ancient traditions are usually extremely powerful, enough to allow a civilization to rise rapidly in a short period of time."
" The Holy Heaven Alliance will never agree to this."
Wei Chen transmitted his voice in a deep voice, saying, "Even if Liu Cangdong deeply loves Xi Fengrou and is willing to make the exchange, the other Great River Realm Heavenly King will stop him. There are more Great River Realm Heavenly King in the Holy Heaven Alliance than in the Martial Star. Liu Cangdong alone cannot control the overall situation."
"Learn."
Ning Chuan shrugged, a hint of regret in his voice.
Bai Qi looked at him calmly and said, "Don't worry about us, just exchange for the resources you need."
Ning Chuan smiled and said, "Let me think about it."
At this moment, Qin Lang ended his contemplation and suggested, "How about asking for the Heaven-Overturning Seal?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's heart stirred, and he asked, "The martial art that Liu Cangdong used to suppress me?"
"Yes, the strongest clan-protecting martial art in the Heavenly Martial Realm!"
Wei Chen thought for a moment and then explained, "It's rare to find even one person who can inherit this skill in a hundred years; its power is truly terrifying!"
Wei Chen specifically told Ning Chuan that his Law and realm were a level above Liu Cangdong's, but Liu Cangdong, with the Heaven-Overturning Seal, could be ranked at the same level as him.
"So powerful?!"
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow, secretly alarmed.
Previously, the suppression of him by the Heaven-Overturning Seal was indeed terrifying, and he was almost unable to resist.
However, he didn't think much of it at the time.
Liu Cangdong is the Heavenly King of the Great River Realm, and he has mastered a fourth-grade Law. Even if he uses ordinary martial arts, he can still suppress him.
"It's equally difficult, probably even more difficult than requesting special access!"
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Those who cultivate the Heaven-Overturning Seal the Heavenly Martial Realm are either Great River Realm Heavenly King or River Realm Heavenly King who aspire to the Great River Realm. Spring Realm Heavenly King are usually not qualified to inherit it."
"You can give it a try."
Wei Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he transmitted his voice with a smile, saying, "Failure is no big deal. If we succeed, with Ning Chuan's talent, it's only a matter of time before he can complete the inscription. We'll have made a huge profit!"
"OK."
Ning Chuan nodded, then looked at Liu Cangdong and said directly, "The conditions aren't high: one chance to inherit the Heaven-Overturning Seal in exchange for Xi Fengrou's life!"
"Daydreaming!"
Liu Cangdong couldn't help but sneer, saying sarcastically, "You actually dare to ask for the Heavenly Martial Realm Realm's clan-protecting martial arts technique!"
Whether I dare or not is my business; as for the outcome, you've already seen it.
Ning Chuan gripped Xi Fengrou's slender nape as if holding a chick, and said indifferently:
"Whether you give it to me or not is your problem, it has nothing to do with me!"
