CHAPTER 1182: CHAPTER 1192: ACCEPTING THE MISSION!

At that moment, from afar, another spaceship flew over. Everyone recognized this spaceship; it was the one that had brought them here initially.

Returning now, it was here to take them back!

Huang Xiang saw the spaceship arrive and his face turned slightly grim. These people were from the authorities. He originally planned to kill Tang Zhong before anyone knew, but he didn’t anticipate their arrival.

However, Tang Zhong had killed Yang Tian and was disrespectful, insulting their Water Guard. In such a case, no one could save him.

Then, the spaceship landed on the plaza with a boom. Once it settled, the cabin door opened, and out came the pilot who had brought them here, along with a middle-aged man.

This man didn’t belong to any guard; he seemed to be from the Mission Hall!

"Those who participated in the new recruit task, I’ve heard you’ve completed the mission. Now I’m here to take you back. Let me introduce myself: I’m from the Mission Hall, also the issuer of this new recruit task. My name is Lucian!" continued the middle-aged man.

Huang Xiang laughed upon hearing that, indeed confirming they were from the Mission Hall. He stepped forward immediately, saying, "It’s Master Lucian, isn’t it?"

Every person from the Mission Hall was addressed as ’Master’!

"I know you, you’re Huang Xiang from the Water Guard!" Lucian said.

"I, Huang Xiang, am truly lucky to be remembered by Master Lucian!" Huang Xiang replied.

"You’ve completed many tasks for our Mission Hall, so naturally I remember you!" Lucian responded.

"Master Lucian, I won’t waste your time. There’s a problem with this new recruit task. All five guards sent people to participate, but our Water Guard’s Yang Tian is dead!" Huang Xiang said.

"What did you say?" Lucian’s face turned slightly grim.

Seeing Lucian’s reaction, Huang Xiang secretly smiled. In the Galactic Guard, murdering a fellow member is an absolute death sentence. He then said, "And the one who killed Yang Tian is from the Earth Guard, that person is him!"

After speaking, Huang Xiang pointed at Tang Zhong.

Lucian followed Huang Xiang’s direction, and his gaze landed on Tang Zhong, frowning slightly. It’s wrong to listen to only one side, so he immediately asked, "Is what he said true?"

Tang Zhong had anticipated this, so he immediately replied, "Indeed, I killed Yang Tian!"

Lucian narrowed his eyes: "Do you know that killing a fellow member is a death sentence!"

"Master Lucian, I did kill Yang Tian, but Yang Tian attempted to kill me first, and I killed him in self-defense!" Tang Zhong said.

Huang Xiang couldn’t stay silent, he exploded on the spot, saying, "Tang Zhong, stop slandering. I know Yang Tian’s character well. He was a kind person, it was impossible for him to start a fight. You must have held resentment against our Water Guard because of me and killed Yang Tian. Now that Yang Tian is dead, he can’t testify, and you can say whatever you want. I’m telling you, actions have consequences; retribution will come for you sooner or later!"

How righteous Huang Xiang appeared!

"You..." Jiang Shuiyao couldn’t remain silent any longer. The man was utterly shameless, daring to speak like that. She quickly told Master Lucian, "Master Lucian, I am Jiang Shuiyao from the Fire Guard. I can testify, it was Water Guard’s Yang Tian who provoked Tang Zhong, and later was killed by Tang Zhong in self-defense!"

Even Sol Gaudi spoke up, "That Yang Tian was indeed malicious; all his actions targeted Captain Tang Zhong!"

Hearing this, Lucian’s brow knitted slightly. Originally, from Huang Xiang’s words, this Tang Zhong sounded like an unforgivable person, but now it seemed otherwise.

"Master Lucian, don’t listen to their nonsense; they’re all together!" Huang Xiang spoke out, "That Tang Zhong is nothing but a murderer!"

Lucian said, "I will make the determination. If he is truly guilty of unprovoked murder, Tang Zhong will be incarcerated in the Thousand Demon Prison awaiting Star Level sentencing. If not, he will still be confined!"

"By the way, Huang Xiang, what was Yang Tian’s Cultivation Level?" Lucian suddenly asked.

"Planet Level!" Huang Xiang said.

"A Meteorite Level person killing a Planet Level one, there truly is a problem here!" Lucian said.

Indeed, to an ordinary person’s thoughts, there must be a problem!

Jiang Shuiyao also closed her mouth, because in the Galactic Guard, evidence was the most crucial thing!

Unfortunately, there was no solid evidence. If there was, Tang Zhong wouldn’t be in such a dire situation; she thought if only they had taken a photo back then.

At this moment, Lucian looked at Tang Zhong and said, "Tang Zhong, do you have anything to say? Without direct evidence, I can only suspect you!"

Tang Zhong hadn’t spoken yet, but the Gaudi family members beside him were all like exploding fireworks. Tang Zhong had helped them slay the Demons, and when those strange Cavalry appeared, it was also Tang Zhong who helped drive them away. Tang Zhong was the hero in their hearts, and they were all present during the incident with Yang Tian, each of them was a witness.

"Master Lucian, we can testify, it was Yang Tian who tried to kill Captain Tang, who then killed him in self-defense!"

"And I also heard Yang Tian badmouthing Captain Tang!"

"Yes, we can confirm Captain Tang’s innocence!"

The Gaudi family members were no fools. They knew better than anyone what happened and were determined to testify for Tang Zhong.

Lucian was taken aback, seeing so many people testifying for Tang Zhong, he couldn’t help but be touched. Could it be that there was really an issue? Either so many were lying, or Huang Xiang was lying.

But Huang Xiang was the Water Guard Captain; he shouldn’t be targeting Tang Zhong, right?

Huang Xiang immediately began shouting at the Gaudi family members: "Because that Tang Zhong helped you kill the Demons, you’re making false testimonies for him? Protecting a criminal means sharing his crime!"

Unexpectedly, this time Sol Gaudi, with all the Gaudi family members, started shouting back: "Nonsense, you’re the one trying to bribe us to make false testimonies!"

"How dare you!" Huang Xiang’s face darkened, and he immediately made a move. He indeed had asked for a false testimony, but this must not be exposed, or else it would affect many things.

He suddenly punched towards Sol.

Sol’s face changed, retreating quickly.

Seeing he was about to be hit, Tang Zhong suddenly leaped out, returning a punch, striking Huang Xiang.

"Tang Zhong, are you going to defy the law?" Huang Xiang sneered at the sight.

Tang Zhong smiled slightly and said, "This time, it was Yang Tian who wanted to kill me, and I killed him in self-defense. However, even if I intentionally killed him, what could you do about it?"
