Chapter 440: Chapter 442: The Culprit Has Been Brought to Justice
 

The man’s arm blazed with silver flames, and his eyes were like torches, exuding an overwhelming dominance. In front of this man with the silver flame arm, even a Tyrant Blood Evil Dragon seemed no more than an ordinary beast!

“King of Silvery Flame, Wu Xiao!” At the event, someone recognized the man who had flung the Dragon King out of the mountain palace with his bare hands and exclaimed in shock.

Yan Zhen turned around and upon seeing Wu Xiao, whose pupils danced with flames, cold sweat slid down his forehead. It seemed he had encountered this powerful figure from the Neon Sea before and still harbored fear in his heart.

But, how could Yan Zhen not be afraid of someone capable of tossing his Dragon King away single-handedly!

Most importantly, the moment Wu Xiao appeared before him, it meant that certain things had been utterly exposed.

“Uncle Wu!” Little Queen Jingyun’s face immediately brightened with joy, and if it weren’t for the extremely powerful aura of silver flames around him, she would have rushed forward without hesitation.

Wu Xiao merely nodded slightly to Little Queen Jingyun. His sharp gaze was fixed on Yan Zhen with an icy demeanor.

This man’s presence was so formidable that everyone at the event showed a look of awe. As for those black-clad masters from the Yan Clan, they were so oppressed by the mighty aura of silver flames that they could hardly catch their breath.

“Are you alright?” At that moment, a woman came from behind and stopped in front of Zhu Minglang, asking with concern.

Zhu Minglang shook his head.

Yan Zhen’s strength wasn’t as formidable as he had imagined, and Great Tutor Lin Zhao had been ambushed.

Nevertheless, he didn’t need to take action himself; Yan Zhen’s end was already near.

“He is Elder Wu Xiao, the Orderer from our Neon Sea. Thanks to your Sea-calming Bell, I’ve gathered the ironclad evidence of Yan Zhen mercilessly slaughtering the inhabitants of an entire island,” Han Wen said to Zhu Minglang.

Having secured all the evidence, Han Wen immediately presented it to Orderer Wu Xiao.

Han Wen also told Zhu Minglang that Yan Zhen had been hiding recently, making it difficult to execute a capture mission. If they were to act officially, they might spook the quarry, allowing Yan Zhen to abandon everything and flee…

Zhu Minglang also felt some guilt for not doing something for Lin Zhao, the Great Instructor. So, when he learned that Yan Xu would attend this hunting event, he set his sights on Yan Xu!

As long as Yan Xu was dealt with, Yan Zhen, his father, would no longer stay hidden!

It was like luring a snake out of its hole.

From the beginning, Zhu Minglang had little interest in such inhumane hunt events. His quarry was Yan Xu; even if Yan Xu didn’t trouble him over the Little Queen’s affair, Zhu Minglang himself would have provoked him, ensuring this mad dog would definitely bite during the hunt.

In fact, Zhu Minglang had been rather sloppy while disposing of the body, even worrying that the Yan Clan’s minds weren’t sharp enough. He intentionally left some obvious clues.

Otherwise, Yan Zhen wouldn’t have discovered his son’s death so quickly.

“A father will show up no matter what when his son dies,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile, his eyes locked on Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen’s face was full of astonishment.

This guy did it on purpose, all to lure him out to face justice??

“Who the hell are you?” Yan Zhen roared.

“You’ve been blockading the island for so long, and you don’t know who you’re dealing with?” Zhu Minglang said.

Yan Zhen suddenly realized!

This guy was the assistant requested by Great Tutor Lin Zhao. Because of him, he had endured and stood guard outside Devil Island for nearly half a month, almost turning into a wild man!

Thinking of how his son had been tormented and killed by this person, and of his current predicament, Yan Zhen was consumed by regret and vexation for not risking an entrance to the island to slaughter him and Han Wen!

With their deaths, none of these issues would have followed!

“Bang!!!!”

With one hand, the King of Silvery Flame pressed Yan Zhen’s head to the ground.

Yan Zhen knelt on the ground, his head striking the earth.

“For plotting against the Grand Instructor of the Dragon Taming High Court, massacring over eight thousand innocent Witch People, Yan Zhen, did you really think you could cover the sky with one hand in this Neon Sea?” King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao said.

Yan Zhen struggled desperately, but without his dragon, he was as weak as a child in front of King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao.

Inside the grand gathering, everyone saw Yan Zhen being captured by the Orderer Wu Xiao, and had it not been for the fact that this was still the territory of the Yan Clan, it’s likely that they would all be clapping and cheering.

In the mountain hall, there were other elders of the Yan Clan, each of them looking panic-stricken, unsure whether they should stand up for Yan Zhen.

The Yan Clan was vast, and Yan Zhen was one of its chiefs. His loss would indeed greatly weaken the clan, but intervening now would mean openly defying the Orderer, the Imperial Dynasty, and the entire legal system of the Neon Sea. If they wanted to protect themselves and ensure the safety of other clansmen, they had to abandon Yan Zhen.

A few elders of the Yan Clan exchanged glances, and in the end, all chose to remain silent.

This time, it was King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao himself who had taken action, and even if the top members of the entire Yan Clan joined forces, they probably wouldn’t be a match for King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao.

“So it was he who killed Great Tutor Lin Zhao, he truly deserves more than death!”

“His crimes have been well known throughout the Neon Sea for a long time, it’s just that there hasn’t been conclusive evidence, and he has been protected by other powers. Such scum should have been executed long ago!”

Beneath the stairs, a fat man who had been beaten to a pulp crawled up. Seeing Yan Zhen pinned to the ground, his head covered in blood, looking no different from the condemned thrown into the hunting ground, he suddenly burst out laughing.

This fat man was the noble who had been tortured by Yan Zhen. Seeing Yan Zhen’s downfall, he felt as if his own wounds no longer hurt.

“Scum, go die sooner, your son Yan Xu and you, both are scum. I should really thank the brave man who killed your son, he truly removed a scourge for the people!” The portly noble kicked Yan Zhen’s body.

“The man has been subdued by the law. Everyone, disperse now. I still need to take him to the head of the Dragon Taming High Court. It’s also time for the matter of Great Tutor Lin Zhao to be settled,” King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao said.

Lifting Yan Zhen, Wu Xiao personally escorted this unforgivable criminal.

But just as he was about to leave, King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao remembered something, turned around, and handed the Sea-calming Bell back to Zhu Minglang, saying, “This is yours.”

Zhu Minglang took the Sea-calming Bell.

“There were no survivors from Witch Island, so this Sea-calming Bell is the only thing they left in this world. Make good use of it, it will be of great help to you, and you can be considered to have avenged them,” King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao said.

As Yan Zhen was dragged away, he had already turned as pale as death, and his earlier arrogance and conceit had evaporated in front of King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao, not much different from a condemned prisoner about to be thrown into the hunting grounds.

People taken down by King of Silvery Flame often had no chance of redemption.

King of Silvery Flame himself was also ruthless; not all the wealth of the Yan Clan could buy back one’s life, let alone when Yan Zhen had seen the true faces of those clan elders.

As he was being dragged away, he lifted his lifeless eyes and glanced at Zhu Minglang.

Recalling how Zhu Minglang had described the killing of his son, Yan Zhen suddenly went mad, thrashing about like a wild boar whose throat had been cut.

To die was trivial, but Yan Zhen now realized he no longer had an heir!

Just because of this youngster, just because he had not ventured dangerous waters earlier to eliminate future troubles!

King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao’s arm did not even twitch. He continued dragging Yan Zhen toward the outside of the mountains, allowing him to rave in madness…

…

“So from the beginning, you planned to take down Yan Xu?” Little Queen Jingyun whispered.

Listening to Han Wen and Wu Xiao’s conversation, Zhu Minglang’s arrival here was not merely to hunt down the condemned, but to have father and son, Yan Xu and Yan Zhen, brought to justice!

Zhu Minglang nodded and said no more.

Two damned bastards, Zhu Minglang had never intended to let them off when he was suffering through those hard times on the island!
