Chapter 147
Wang Gexiao stared intently at Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, approaching him step by step.
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo couldn't help but step back.
Wang Gexiao continued, "Father, rest assured, I will feign being humiliated and committing suicide. But I hope you will take my Origin Soul and not waste my cultivation. You are already at the peak of the Ninth Grade Realm. As long as you devour my Origin Soul, you will possess power surpassing all Ninth-Grade Supreme, which will help you ascend to the Divine Venerable Realm!"
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo was clearly stunned by Wang Gexiao's madness. He shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, impossible, I would never..."
"Father! Don't you want to ascend to the throne of the Divine Emperor? Don't you want the Wang Family to unify Huaxia? Don't you want Huaxia to have a Divine Venerable Realm, ranking among the Upper Realms!"
"But I..."
"There's no such thing as a free lunch! I don't believe in luck!" Wang Gexiao roared maniacally. "Everything I've done is for the eternal glory of the Wang Family!"
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's face turned pale, and he didn't even dare to look Wang Gexiao in the eye.
Wang Gexiao's eyes were cold and crazed, his tone was calm and even, but every word he uttered was a chillingly insane statement.
"I voluntarily offer my Origin Soul; even if you devour it, you will not be spiritually corrupted. Besides, I am your own child, and my Origin Soul is extremely close to you. You will not experience any rejection, and no one will notice, so..."
Wang Gexiao had already taken Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's hand and placed his divine weapon against his chest. "Kill me, and take my Origin Soul!"
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo felt as if the divine weapon in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he felt as if he could not hold it.
"Stop!" Li Yang's voice rang out, spreading throughout the Huaxia Heavenly Palace through the Marquis of Wind Pavilion's vast spiritual threads. "Even tigers don't eat their cubs, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, how cruel you are, not even sparing your own child!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Gexiao, who had always remained calm and composed, changed his expression drastically for the first time, revealing a look of fear.
Wang Gexiao is not afraid of death; he even takes pride in it.
As long as Marquis of Mirror Bamboo can ascend to the Divine Venerable Realm, and as long as the Wang Family can unify the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, his death will be a glorious achievement that will be remembered for eternity.
But Li Yang's words shattered his illusions.
Wang Gexiao instantly felt murderous intent; he wanted to kill Li Yang!
However, Li Yang was accompanied by the Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan.
At this moment, Marquis of Wind Pavilion was coldly looking at Marquis of Mirror Bamboo divine weapon happened to be held against Wang Gexiao's neck.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion's voice was as cold as ice. "Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, what are you doing?"
With a clang, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's wrist lost its grip, and the divine weapon rolled away.
Wang Gexiao felt a chill in his heart and immediately considered detonating himself to die.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan were prepared. Marquis of Wind Pavilion instantly released his aura to stop Wang Gexiao's self-destruction, while Li Yaowan released her powerful soul force. Even if Wang Gexiao did self-destruct, she could save him.
Unable to die, Wang Gexiao felt a surge of hatred in his heart and coldly looked at Li Yang.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Wang Gexiao could no longer maintain his composure and cried out in a frenzy, "I'm going to kill you!"
Having said that, he was still able to activate the hidden array in the Wang Family mansion under the pressure of the Marquis of Wind Pavilion, attempting to kill Li Yang.
At this moment, both Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan were busy. If either of them went to save Li Yang, Wang Gexiao would self-destruct!
However, Wang Gexiao underestimated Li Yang.
Li Yang unleashed his Risking Life, his cultivation level soaring to the Eighth Grade Realm. At the same time, he activated his Invincible Shield, steadily blocking the strangulation attack from the Wang Family's grand formation.
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo watched this scene unfold, collapsing helplessly to the ground, muttering, "I told you, don't defy Heavenly Fortune, don't defy Heavenly Fortune..."
These words completely broke Wang Gexiao, who screamed, "I don't believe in luck! I don't believe in it!"
Marquis of Wind Pavilion had already sent out the message, and the Ninth-Grade Supreme of the Shen Family on the outskirts quickly arrived, including members of the Star Nexus Pavilion, who also landed at the Wang Family mansion.
The scene before them left everyone speechless.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion coldly said, "Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's attempt to kill Wang Gexiao failed! We cannot allow him to destroy the evidence. We will conduct a mental examination of Wang Gexiao now!"
Chapter 147
The Wang Family's power was waning, and Wang Gexiao had no more excuses.
Li Yang's words were truly devastating, completely extinguishing Wang Gexiao's illusions.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan witnessed Marquis of Mirror Bamboo about to kill Wang Gexiao.
No matter how Marquis of Mirror Bamboo explains it, this scene cannot be whitewashed.
Just as Li Yang said, even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet Marquis of Mirror Bamboo wanted to kill his own son, which shows how utterly depraved he was.
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo is Wang Gexiao's hope.
However, with Marquis of Mirror Bamboo slumped on the ground at this moment, there is absolutely no way he could ascend to the throne of the Divine Emperor!
The councilors of the Star Nexus Pavilion rushed over and were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Li Yang rarely uses the Time Rewind.
However, at this moment, the unexpectedly acquired Star Skill came in handy.
Time Rewind can recreate the events of a single day.
This kind of reenactment can withstand mental scrutiny.
If the mental examination confirms the truth, it means that what is being reproduced is reality, not a fabricated illusion.
Li Yang is releasing Time Rewind.
As Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan arrived at the Wang Family mansion in time, they saw Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's divine weapon pressed against Wang Gexiao's chest, as if it were about to rip out his Origin Soul.
When Marquis of Wind Pavilion arrived, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo was in a state of extreme panic.
The scene of Wang Gexiao activating the Wang Family's grand formation in an attempt to strangle Li Yang was also recreated.
This scene played on repeat, turning the paralyzed Marquis of Mirror Bamboo- faced and driving the crazed Wang Gexiao to roar like a wild beast, "Damn it, you deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"
His composure was shattered.
Wang Gexiao was terrified of the impending mental probing.
A mental investigation will reveal everything, and these fools won't understand his good intentions!
They simply don't understand that without Divine Venerable Realm expert, Huaxia will eventually perish!
The Ninth-Grade Supreme of the Wang Family looked at Li Yang's reappearance with disbelief in his eyes.
This completely shattered their worldview, causing them to lose their composure. "Impossible, absolutely impossible! You can't slander Marquis of Mirror Bamboo like this..."
Li Yang said, "This is a scene of Time Rewind. You can use your mental abilities to examine this Star Skill. I believe that with your status, you will be able to distinguish between the real and the fake."
If it were Li Yaowan or Marquis of Wind Pavilion who used Time Rewind, it would indeed be possible to fake it.
After all, given their status, if they were to fake it, even a fellow Ninth-Grade Supreme would find it difficult to detect.
But Li Yang is different; she is only at the Fifth Grade Realm.
Even if she were to lie, the Wang Family's Ninth-Grade Supreme beings could easily find out.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion sneered and said, "Let's conduct a mental examination of Wang Gexiao first; we can postpone the matter of Time Rewind until later!"
The Wang Family's Grandmaster had different expressions; they were filled with fear and unease, and their dread of this mental probing grew ever stronger.
The Ninth-Grade Supreme of the Shen Family stood coldly beside Marquis of Wind Pavilion.
The Marquis of Marquis of the Long Night's agent was a woman with a strong, resolute appearance.
Li Yang had never met her before, but she seemed to know Li Yang, and smiled slightly at her when she noticed Li Yang's gaze.
Li Yang quickly bowed in return.
Li Yaowan said to Li Yang in their Spirit Sea, "She is Lin Family. Logically speaking, she is Lin Zhaoqin and Lin Zhaoxia's great-aunt, Lin Chenjue."
Li Yang: "!"
Lin Zhaoqin often mentioned his great-aunt.
So this was the powerful-looking Ninth-Grade Supreme standing before me.
Because of Li Yaowan's words, when Li Yang looked at Lin Chenjue, he could vaguely make out some of Lin Zhaoqin's features.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion looked at the several Ninth-Grade Supreme from the Wang Family and asked, "Which of you will come?"
The Wang Family looked ashen-faced. After a long while, Wang Xining's father stepped forward.
He is also a veteran Ninth-Grade Supreme in Huaxia, and is about the same age as Marquis of Mirror Bamboo.
Although he has been promoted to the Ninth-Grade Supreme, he has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years and has been living a secluded life in the Wang Family.
Seeing Marquis of Mirror Bamboo slumped to the ground, he couldn't help but feel pity and sorrow in his eyes.
Wang Tiankang stepped forward because he was the most senior.
Wang Tiankang sighed softly and said, "I'll do it."
Marquis of Wind Pavilion nodded slightly. She didn't plan to change locations and would conduct a mental examination of Wang Gexiao directly at the Wang Family residence.
Since everyone's here, let's get started now rather than cause any unforeseen problems.
This time, no one could say anything to stop it.
Wang Gexiao was in a very manic state and seemed quite abnormal, but this did not stop everyone from conducting a mental examination of him.
With the Marquis of Wind Pavilion around, Wang Gexiao couldn't even manage to self-destruct.
When the spiritual threads of the Ninth-Grade Supreme pressed down from all sides, Wang Gexiao was still trying to struggle, but his struggle was as futile as an ant trying to shake a tree.
Li Yang watched quietly, not letting her guard down until the very last moment.
Li Yaowan was also keeping a close eye on them, essentially acting as a protector for these Ninth-Grade Supreme beings.
After all, there was also Marquis of Mirror Bamboo and several Ninth-Grade Supreme from the Wang Family nearby. If they were to act rashly in desperation, it would be a troublesome matter.
Just then, Marquis of Wind Pavilion's voice rang in Li Yang's Spirit Sea, asking, "Do you want to come and take a look?"
Li Yang: "!"
Marquis of Wind Pavilion added, "If you bring Lianxin with you, you won't get lost in Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea."
Li Yang immediately replied, "I'll ask Lianxin!"
Before she could ask, Lianxin spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, I'll go with you."
Li Yang felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Okay!"
Li Yang really wanted to know what exactly happened back then.
During this campaign to eliminate Wang Gexiao, Li Yang did not disturb Si Kui, who was in seclusion.
She hoped that when Si Kui emerged from seclusion, she could clearly tell her what happened back then.
