"Are you kidding me...?"

This powerful punch from the milk tea made Taoran feel his stomach churning, and he almost couldn't catch his breath and was reborn on the spot.

"You... you actually came in person?!"

Taoran he saw the person who came.

"Otherwise, we will not be able to hear the elders' profound insights."

Jing Yuan crossed his arms, glanced at Wang Yitong (Milk Tea version) who was still showing off his muscles next to him, and didn't say much. He just secretly sighed that the kid was really strong. He almost turned Long Preceptor into a two-dimensional character that couldn't be scraped off.

"The public trial you requested by the Six Charioteers is inevitable. In addition, I will write to Wave-Subduing General of Fanghu. Given her righteous and incorruptible nature, she will surely make a fairer judgment."

"If it is that esteemed person, he will surely win the hearts and minds of Vidyadhara in Luofu."

"... In terms of martial prowess, the general is indeed superior. But if the general thinks that this will allow him to settle scores with our Preceptor, he shouldn't be so optimistic."

"With your Vidyadhara position within the Alliance, do you really think you can do anything to us?"

Taoran embedded in the wall, sneered, "Just like I said from the beginning. I will take all the blame... and become the scapegoat."

"Given the secrets I know, the interrogation alone will take a very long time. In the end, due to various exchanges of interests, I will definitely survive. You understand this better than I do, after all, this is the 'balancing act' that you love to play with."

"Finally, I must remind the General... I've heard that Hoolay escaped from prison and headed straight for the Skysplitter. It's not hard to imagine the horrific scene of the massacre at the Martial Wardance. Perhaps before I am convicted, the Alliance's impeachment will give the General a major headache?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng and Lingsha simultaneously looked up. What was this guy saying...?

"I regret to inform you, Mr. Taoran, that the audience on the Skysplitter today is extraordinary... Just now, Hoolay has been beheaded."

Taoran paused for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. "Hehe... haha... hahahahahaha..."

The king's milk tea bucket next to him was still flexing his muscles. Just how desperate must the Preceptor be to let out such laughter?

Meanwhile, in the Alchemy Commission, Bailu, accompanied by Ye Yan, was mourning someone...

"Wow~ Xingni, look! It's rare to see Teacher Ye Yan playing games with the Dragon Girl. Is it super realistic pretend play?"

Xing and March 7th rushed back from the Skysplitter. Although she was not injured at all, March 7th felt it was necessary for her to have a check-up in case of any future problems.

"Waaaaaah~ Miss March 7th..."

Bailu was crying her eyes out in front of the camera on March 7th, and Ye Yan even brought her a cup of milk tea.

My condolences.

"Oh, Miss March 7th! My Miss March 7th!"

"Wait a minute, I'm not dead yet!"

Behind them came the exclamation of March 7th: "Even playing house doesn't have to be like this!"

After a brief chat, Xing said with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, General Feixiao didn't give me much room to demonstrate my abilities during this wolf-hunting operation."

Xing shook her head, feeling that her highlight was all in the first half, where she showed off her skills in the Prison of Deep Seclusion... but because she accidentally used too much force, the Wardance banned her directly.

"If I were in the ring, one hit from my club would bring down even ten Hoolay."

Xing, hands on hips, exudes confidence in his abilities. "Are you kidding me, Multi- Pathstrider?"

"What you said is exactly the same as what Master Yanqing said. However, right now he and Master Yunli have gone to take care of the cleanup work."

"And I, with the lowest swordsmanship, came to the Alchemy Commission to heal and recuperate. Putting aside everything else, this time my injuries are at their maximum... Hmm, could it be because I didn't drink enough milk tea?"

The post-match review began on March 7th, but this inference is clearly not valid, as Master Yanqing has not had a single cup of milk tea to date.

With the conclusion of the "Wolf Hunt and Defend the Arena" operation, the envoys from the Earth-Balance Commission comforted the people, and the initial disturbance quickly subsided.

A few days later, inside the Seat of Divine Foresight, the three generals also summarized the incident.

" Hoolay's escape from prison has caused quite a stir and forced the Wardance to be interrupted; it is truly an undeserved disaster."

Huaiyan said, "Fortunately, the younger generation is formidable. Several young people went through fire and water to quell this great disaster, which can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"Before Taibu Fu Xuan went to the Jade Abacus Xianzhou to report for duty, I consulted her about the ceremony. She left a note saying, 'The hexagram fluctuates between Zhen and Qian, which is the sign of Great Strength,' meaning that even if there are setbacks, we can overcome them safely."

"She told me to trust in the abilities of young people and to let them do as they please. In that sense, the divination did indeed come true."

Jing Yuan stroked his chin. "But... the Xianzhou Luofu had been responsible for imprisoning Hoolay for hundreds of years, and before his transfer, he died on the arena of the Skysplitter."

"If this gets back to the ears of the Alliance's higher-ups, it will surely attract a lot of criticism."

" Hoolay's death may not be a bad thing. The news will not only severely thwart Borisin's attempt to make a comeback, but also thwart the ambitions of those who want to exploit him."

" The Crimson Moon has been handed over to the Church of Eternity for safekeeping. Simply transfer Hoolay's remains to the Yaoqing Xianzhou. That Evermoon hanging high in the sky... truly a spectacle."

Feixiao recalled the scene of Saileni creating the Evermoon, the [ Eternity ] that could respond to all things—what an incredible skill!

"As for explaining things to the Alliance, I'll handle that."

"But what about the Wardance?" Feixiao changed the subject. "Although the Wolf Hunting Plan was successfully completed, and no one knows what happened on the Skysplitter, the news of Borisin's attack on the city center will surely spread like wildfire."

"If the ceremony is interrupted, it must be reopened. As for the spectators who witnessed the attack, we must not only reassure them, but also let them see the selfless sacrifice of the Xianzhou Cloud Knights and the Church of Eternity's all-out support as allies."

"[On the first day of the ceremony, a thug Borisin to create panic, but fortunately, Merlin's Claw and Church messenger who came to observe the ceremony resolved the crisis and killed the madman.]"

"Such heroic stories are not only genuine, but they are also popular with everyone once they are spread, and they are the best way to quell rumors and criticisms."

Jing Yuan and Feixiao exchanged a glance. "Then we'll do as Elder Yan says. Luofu will do its utmost to comfort the dead and wounded, make up for the losses, and strive to reopen the Wardance within a few weeks."

"In that case, the matter of Luofu is settled. However, I'm more worried about the hidden hand behind this disaster—"

Feixiao smoothly picked up the conversation; that was exactly what she was waiting for:

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; the threats behind this turmoil also need to be addressed."

"The emergence of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, the gathering of the Borisin... the hidden hand behind the scenes is stirring up trouble, aiming to leave the Alliance unable to attend to both ends, ultimately like a stray arrow, hitting nothing."

"Unfortunately, this time they've messed with the wrong person. Upon returning to Yaoqing, I will personally lead the Skyfox Army into battle..."

"... We are determined to bring down an Lord Ravager and make the Antimatter Legion understand the meaning of the [ The Hunt ]."
