As Marquis of Wind Pavilion finished speaking, Star Nexus Pavilion fell silent.
No more Wang Family spoke on the Huaxia Heavenly Palace forum.
The image that Wang Gexiao had painstakingly built up has completely collapsed.
Those who once admired him now looked at him with disgust.
The sentencing is now complete.
Before the entire Huaxia Heavenly Palace, Marquis of Wind Pavilion coldly declared, "Traitor Wang Gexiao's crimes are unforgivable; he shall be executed immediately!"
Suddenly, the wind chime flower on the Marquis of Wind Pavilion's wrist flickered, and several light swords burst out from the light shield, piercing towards Wang Gexiao.
Wang Gexiao's face was extremely grim, as if he had been pierced by a thousand arrows, enduring unimaginable pain.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion: "He is no longer the Star Wielders of our Huaxia, but a vessel for the flower of Flower of Evil!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless spores surged out of Wang Gexiao's body.
The dense spores surged out like countless black worms, a sight that greatly shocked all who witnessed it.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion's light shield blocked the spores that were gushing out, and at the same time cleansed away any potential mental pollution.
Even so, the Star Wielders witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel nauseous and began to vomit.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion Execution Wang Gexiao.
Knowing that even his last wisp of Divine Soul had dissipated within the light shield, he slowly said, "Wang Gexiao is not a saint. It's only natural that he felt jealousy towards the Nature Department. But this Flower of Evil is truly wicked, amplifying his desires, shaking his conscience, and causing him to commit such a heinous and absurd act!"
She said this to give Wang Family a way out and to ease their tense emotions.
All of this was relayed to the Star Wielders's identification plaque, and the anxious Wang Family noticed that Marquis of Wind Pavilion's tone had softened, so they relaxed slightly.
The Grandmaster of the Wang Family knew more about the inside story. They knew that Marquis of Wind Pavilion was protecting them, so they all lowered their heads and bowed their hands, displaying great respect.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion first tried to ease the tension, then said, "Although Wang Gexiao was parasitized by the Flower of Evil, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo knew he Backstab the Nature Department, yet still shielded him from his evil deeds. This crime is unforgivable!"
Although no mental examination was conducted on Lu Yanbie, his testimony as a witness was sufficient as evidence.
Back at the Greedy Wolf Transit Point, after Wang Gexiao attracted Divine Descent and fled in panic, it was Marquis of Mirror Bamboo discovered Lu Yanbie alive and wanted to silence him!
Marquis of Wind Pavilion continued, "Even if Marquis of Mirror Bamboo loves his son dearly, he shouldn't be so unjust! By resolution of the Star Nexus Council, his authority as Twelve Marquises of the Star Nexus is revoked, and he is imprisoned for life. At the same time, all assets under his and Wang Gexiao's names are transferred to the Nature Department to comfort the souls of the Nature Department's fallen heroes!"
Faced with such punishment, the Star Nexus Council had no objections and passed it unanimously.
As a Ninth-Grade Supreme, it was impossible for the Huaxia Heavenly Palace to Execution Marquis of Mirror Bamboo.
However, life imprisonment is a more terrifying thing than death.
The lifespan of Ninth-Grade Supreme is beyond imagination, but the place of imprisonment has no Power of Starlight whatsoever. During his life imprisonment, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo will be like a tree that cannot reach water and sunlight, gradually withering and dying over the long years.
At this moment, the tragedy that occurred 28 years ago has finally come to an end.
The glorious achievements of the Nature Department in the past have once again brought fame to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.
The Wang Family suffered heavy losses, yet they felt no resentment towards Li Yang whatsoever.
Li Yang did not hold a grudge against the Wang Family; instead, she precisely targeted Wang Gexiao and Marquis of Mirror Bamboo.
If she hadn't suggested that Wang Gexiao had been possessed by the Flower of Evil, the Wang Family would have faced even more terrifying public pressure. At that time, other powerful families would have definitely joined in to kick them while they were down, or even completely dismantle the Wang Family!
As for Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, Li Yang showed some leniency—at least he managed to preserve the appearance of a loving father.
Li Yang only showed the Time Rewind to the Grandmaster of the Wang Family and did not reveal it to the public.
On the one hand, the Grandmaster of the Wang Family were grateful to Li Yang for leaving them room for maneuver, but on the other hand, they were also very clear that they could not and dared not resent Li Yang, because once Li Yang exposed that Marquis of Mirror Bamboo was trying to devour Wang Gexiao's Origin Soul, the Wang Family's reputation would suffer an unimaginable blow!
Everything has settled down.
Li Yaowan led Li Yang and the others to the outskirts of the Greedy Wolf Transit Point.
The Greedy Wolf Transit Point is now a ruin, and ordinary Star Wielders can hardly set foot there.
Twenty-eight years have passed, yet the oppressive aura of Divine Exalt Daowu still lingers there. Even those Star Wielders below the Grandmaster Realm who merely approach it may suffer a mental shock.
There are many Star Wielders outside the Greedy Wolf Transit Point.
Not only did people from the Department of the Nature Department come, but a large number of former minor students from the Department of the Nature Department also came to pay their respects.
In fact, there is a memorial hall for the fallen heroes in the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, where all the soldiers who died in the invasion of Huaxia by the Fenglie Clan are enshrined.
At this moment, however, everyone is more interested in seeing the Greedy Wolf Transit Point.
Scenes she had witnessed in Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea flashed through Li Yang's mind.
She remembered their appearances: her grandmaster, as calm and tolerant as the wind; her uncle Cheng Rui, whose smile was as bright as the morning sun; and those Nature Department seniors who, even after the fierce battle in Fenglie Main City, were still full of fighting spirit.
The moment Divine Exalt Daowu descended, Wang Gexiao fled in panic, seeing nothing at all.
But Li Yang believed that the predecessors of the Nature Department had not given up—they would fight to the very end, even if it meant their last breath and last Starlight!
Li Yang closed her eyes and bowed deeply to them.
Although the traitor Wang Gexiao was dealt with, the one who caused all this disaster was Divine Exalt Daowu!
Li Yang dared not utter the words, "Rest in peace."
Only by slaying Divine Exalt Daowu can the heroic souls of the Nature Department truly find peace!
After returning to the Nature Pavilion, Li Yang slept soundly for a long time.
Since Si Kui went into seclusion, she hadn't slept this deeply.
Having brought down the mastermind and eliminated this major worry, Li Yang was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
When she woke up, the entire Nature Department was gathered around her.
Oh, and there's Jiang Yuqing —she's not even a member of the Nature Department group, yet she's even more intriguing than the Nature Department group members.
Looking at the familiar young faces, Li Yang felt a warmth in her heart.
She smiled and said, "Marquis of Wind Pavilion has already announced everything, don't you all know that already?"
Jiang Yuqing: "It's alright, it's alright, Sister Yang, please tell us again!"
Li Yang: "..."
Everyone urged, "Tell us more, tell us more! We want to hear what our senior (junior) sister has to say."
Li Yang was also helpless, muttering to himself: Jiang Yuqing is after Shock Points, what are you after?
However, Li Yang didn't mind saying it again.
She didn't mention things she shouldn't have—like the secret of advancing to the Divine Venerable Realm, or that Wang Gexiao wasn't actually possessed by the Flower of Evil...
Saying these things won't do anyone any good.
Li Yang was referring to what Marquis of Wind Pavilion had announced, but everyone still listened with great interest.
Jiang Yuqing, in particular, listened to it once and then wanted to listen again.
Yu Hongyuan, who rarely sided with him, also looked longingly at Li Yang, wanting to do it ten or a hundred more times!
Li Yang couldn't persuade them otherwise, and was about to say something more... when Li Yaowan strode in and said, "Just keep indulging them!"
Li Yang stood up with a smile and bowed to Li Yaowan.
Li Yaowan glared at the people around her and said, "Your senior sister is about to advance to the Sixth Grade Realm, and you still have the nerve to stand around here?"
Upon hearing this, the top students of the Nature Department immediately perked up.
Seeing that they were about to run away, Li Yang instructed, "Go to the Blue Crystal Realm Domain and bring Kazi back."
Zhong Kun jumped up and said, "I'll go! I'll go!"
He doesn't like spiritual practice; he's going to find Wang Ruika!
After the group of teenagers had all left, Li Yaowan said to Li Yang, "The assets of Marquis of Mirror Bamboo and Wang Gexiao are still under investigation, but the sale of the Star Core can now be put on the agenda."
Li Yang nodded, expressing her trust in Li Yaowan, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Teacher Li."
These things are easier for Li Yaowan to handle than for her to manage herself— Li Yaowan is adept at these matters and will not embezzle assets belonging to Li Yang.
Although Marquis of Wind Pavilion transferred the assets of Marquis of Mirror Bamboo and Wang Gexiao to the Nature Department, Li Yang is now the person in charge of the Nature Department, which means it is under her name.
Of course, Li Yang wouldn't keep all of this for herself; she wanted to rebuild the Nature Department, which in itself required a massive amount of resources.
Li Yaowan pondered for a moment, then said, "Marquis of Wind Pavilion wants me to tell you that she can assign special identity tokens to the Masterless Sword, allowing them to freely enter and exit the outer city of the Eastern District and be responsible for planting higher-level Star Plant."
Li Yang smiled and said, "No rush. I don't have any suitable seeds right now. Let's talk about it later."
Li Yaowan nodded and said, "That's what I meant too!"
She added, "Marquis of Wind Pavilion is only eyeing the Masterless Sword; we're not in a hurry!"
Li Yang wasn't in a hurry, but there was something urgent.
Li Yaowan: "I know you're worried about the Lost Space Society's gathering, but the Star Nexus Pavilion's intelligence agency doesn't have any relevant information either... However, Marquis of Wind Pavilion Fengting promised that as long as you attend the Mystifying Space Gathering, the Star Nexus Pavilion's intelligence agency will be at your disposal."
This is what Li Yang most wanted to hear.
To obtain crucial intelligence from the Lost Space Society, she must demonstrate her own value.
Behind the Bone Peach Mother Tree lies an entire Realm Domain, and this is precisely the kind of assistance Li Yang lacks.
Developing a reliable intelligence agency requires a significant amount of human, material, and time resources.
Even with his astonishing wealth, it would still take Li Yang a long time to cultivate his own intelligence agency.
Although Li Yaowan has an intelligence network, when it comes to someone of the Lost Space Society's status... Qing Teng doesn't dare to investigate at all.
Only the Star Nexus Pavilion's intelligence agency could offer any help.
Li Yaowan added, "However, before that, you need to quickly advance to the Sixth Grade Realm, preferably the Sixth Grade Realm Peak..."
Li Yang: "Mm."
