CHAPTER 287: CHAPTER 283 BAPTISM

Within the purple lightning, Zong Peng, completely enveloped by spiritual power, threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The punch directly penetrated the lightning.

The azure light shot through the lightning, slicing through the sky.

"Bang!"

The entire sky above the city shook.

The next moment, a hundred-meter-long, pitch-black space rift appeared in everyone’s sight.

"So powerful!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan’s expression changed. The punch not only pierced through the lightning, but the residual force was so strong that it shattered the space.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At this moment, Zong Peng seemed like a madman.

Punch after punch was thrown.

"Bang bang bang...."

Rifts in space appeared one after another.

In a breath, the hundreds-of-meters thick purple lightning was battered full of holes.

"Boom!"

The purple lightning suddenly dispersed.

Zong Peng’s figure finally appeared.

At this moment, standing in mid-air, with hands behind his back, aside from slightly disheveled hair, there wasn’t even a hint of disorder in his breath.

"Good!"

Zongzheng couldn’t help but shout, eyes excitedly watching him.

This... the Spirit Tribulation... has been passed!

The one with the worst expression at this moment had to be Crane King, his face was gloomy.

In sharp contrast to Zong Peng’s calm demeanor.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a golden beam shot out from the spiritual qi eye.

Directly enveloping Zong Peng beneath it.

Zong Peng opened his arms, slightly raised his head, thoroughly enjoying the bath in the golden light.

"This is the baptism!"

At this moment, Ning Xin explained, "After passing the Spirit Tribulation, a divine reward descends to help the one attempting a Realm Breakthrough in the Profound Realm; this is also the final step of the Profound Realm!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan slightly nodded.

’So that’s how it is!’

Then he asked, "What else do you know?"

He didn’t expect Ning Xin to know so much, and she never told him before.

"That’s all!"

Ning Xin shook her head, saying, "This was told to me by Village Chief Grandpa a long time ago. If it weren’t for witnessing Zong Peng crossing the Spirit Tribulation, I wouldn’t have remembered it."

In fact, it’s not her fault.

After all, when the village chief spoke to her, she was only about six or seven.

She didn’t take it to heart then.

It was only encountering this event that gradually brought back her memories.

During their conversation!

The golden beam suddenly disappeared, and the spiritual qi eye dissipated in the next moment.

The gloomy and dark sky slowly brightened.

Chen Xuan looked again at Zong Peng in mid-air, but this time he didn’t use Telepathy.

"Feeling... a bit unusual... yet... it seems like it’s not!"

Muttering to himself.

Of course, this was only on the surface.

"Jiang He.... how about it?"

Zong Peng looked dismissively at Crane King in the distance, though it was a simple four words, it was full of provocation.

"Hmph!"

Jiang He snorted coldly, unwilling to deal with him, and then prepared to leave.

However... even if his heart was unwilling to admit it, Zong Peng is indeed a genius among geniuses.

Not only did he not resist the Spirit Tribulation, he instead charged directly into it, dispersing the tribulation.

"He cannot be left alive!"

His heart began to plot, Zong Peng must die!

Even if that old thing protects him, he must die!

Otherwise, it will be him dying in the future!

"Jiang He, where are you going? Also, you haven’t answered me yet?"

At this moment, Zong Peng certainly didn’t want to let him go, especially...

"What? Attempting violence right after a Realm Breakthrough?"

Jiang He said with disdain.

Zong Peng’s talent is strong, but it’s only a recent Realm Breakthrough, how strong can it be!

"Whether I act depends on you!"

Zong Peng said casually.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang He felt a bit uneasy.

But this time, Zong Peng ignored him, instead looking at Zongzheng, nodding to him, "Begin!"

"Yes!"

Zongzheng’s heart couldn’t wait.

"Qin Ke, act!"

He shouted in the direction of the Yang Family.

While Zong Peng was undergoing the Spirit Tribulation, he had already instructed Qin Ke to hide a part of the Three Judicial Departments near the Yang Family.

Just waiting for his order to directly assault the Yang Family.

"Yes, my lord!"

Upon hearing his voice, Qin Ke immediately answered, then shouted, "Brothers, take action!"

Instantly,

Hundreds of the Three Judicial Departments’ constables simultaneously erupted with energy that pierced through the void.

Of course, among them was the infiltrated Chen Xuan.

At the moment Zong Peng successfully made a Realm Breakthrough, he used the Divine Foot Technique to arrive here.

As for identity, it was something Qin Ke had prepared in advance.

A line of figures in azure robes, white robes, and golden robes rushed into the Yang Family.

"Outrageous, this is the Yang Family, you Three Judicial Departments dare to rebel!"

Yang Mingri instantly appeared above the Yang Mansion, shouting.

He couldn’t believe it upon seeing the constables from the Three Judicial Departments.

How dare they so brazenly invade the Yang Family, with such momentum, are they planning to wipe out the Yang Family!

Crane King is with the Three Judicial Departments!

How dare they!

"The Yang Family illegally seized Lower Realm raw stones, those who dare to resist shall be executed without mercy!"

"Men, take Yang Mingri!"

Qin Ke’s eyes were cold, but his heart was extremely excited; this is the Yang Family, and he is still at the first rank.

Unexpectedly... there would be a day to raid the Yang Family.

How could he not be excited!

"What?"

Yang Mingri was utterly shocked.

How can this be?

How did the Three Judicial Departments learn about that matter?

After the original stone was lost, he had scoured the entire area, leaving no one alive—not even the demon beasts.

But...

How did the news leak?

"Outrageous! This is slander! The Yang Family has never done such a thing!"

Yang Mingri shouted angrily.

No matter what, he could never admit to this matter.

Otherwise, the Yang Family would be exterminated.

Moreover... the Crane King!

Yes!

The Crane King, only the Crane King can protect their Yang Family now.

"Hmph! Whether it’s true or not, surrender peacefully, and it will be found out!"

Qin Ke sneered coldly.

"Take action! Anyone who dares to resist, kill them instantly!"

It was only then that they realized why the Yang Family was targeted for investigation.

The original stone!

The Yang Family absolutely didn’t have the guts; it could only be... the Crane King!

Previously, they might have considered showing mercy out of fear of the Crane King.

But now that they knew about this matter, they dared not show any mercy at all.

"Boom, boom..."

In an instant, they launched a full-scale attack on the Yang Family, killing anyone who resisted without hesitation.

After all, Qin Ke was watching them.

Although his strength wasn’t particularly impressive, his current position in the Three Judicial Departments was unmatched, even by those in golden robes.

"Zong Peng, you’re courting death!"

The Crane King was instantly enraged, not expecting him to know about that matter.

When he had instructed the Yang Family on that matter, it was done with utmost secrecy, without employing even Immortal Grade Martial Artists, to avoid attracting attention.

But...

"Damn it, where did he learn about this from!"

If it were found that he was even remotely connected to this matter, it would be enough to end his life!

Great Yu has zero tolerance for the unlawful seizure of the Lower Realm’s original stones.

There had been others who took such risks before, with much higher status and strength than his, but their end was being personally executed by Emperor Yu, and even the pleas from others didn’t help!

No mercy was shown whatsoever.

"Kill them!"

Jiang He instantly made a decision in his heart; if that’s the case, the Yang Family must be destroyed.

In a flash, he transformed into a streak of light flying towards the Yang Family.

But—

"Bang!"

A loud noise!

Zong Peng directly blocked his way.

"Get out of the way! The rMolan Mansion is this king’s domain. If I want to go there, I will, and don’t push me to kill you!"

Jiang He looked cold and ruthless, murderous intent surging.

The spiritual power within his body was fully agitated; he wanted to destroy the Yang Family before those constables could intervene.

"In a hurry? Or are you... afraid?"

Zong Peng’s expression was calm, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Zong Peng, you’re seeking death!"

Jiang He squinted his eyes, his intent to kill Zong Peng reached its peak at this moment, never had he so desired to kill him.

"Whether I’m seeking death is not for you to decide. The decree of Great Yu, whenever a matter related to the original stones arises, the Three Judicial Departments override all, and no one is allowed to intervene!"

"This is an edict personally issued by Emperor Yu!"

"Are you seeking to defy the imperial decree!!!"

Zong Peng shouted explosively, his aura erupting instantly.

At this moment, two top-tier warriors faced off with each other; in mid-air, their explosive auras intertwined, even the distant Lord Zongzheng felt a sense of mortal danger.

"Brother is really strong!"

One couldn’t help but admire in his heart, eyes filled with envy, but mostly happiness.

Having just achieved a realm breakthrough and remained unafraid of Jiang He.

It’s no wonder he was favored by that great figure.

"Boom!"

Jiang He suddenly made his move, directly attacking Zong Peng.

His attitude showed that he wouldn’t let him reach the Yang Family.

If that was the case, there was nothing more to be said.

Solve Zong Peng quickly, then... destroy the Yang Family.

Although he had his people there, it wasn’t foolproof.

Only by annihilating the Yang Family can he be at ease.

By that time, even if Great Yu pursued the matter, it wouldn’t lead to death!

But if it were discovered in the Yang Family that everything was his doing, he would be finished!

The priorities were clearly evident!

This was the reason he acted so decisively.

The two instantly tangled with each other.

As top-tier warriors engaged in battle, the void shook immediately, and every strike was accompanied by a spatial fissure.

"These two... are incredibly strong!"

Chen Xuan looked cautiously over.

"I hope Zong Peng can stop the Crane King!"

Immediately, spiritual power spread out, starting to search for the direct members of the Yang Family.

At this point, there was nothing left to consider.

"Over there!"

An instant later, the figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of a middle-aged man.

A palm strike!

"Boom!"

The speed was so fast that the middle-aged man didn’t even react.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the man slammed into the ground with unknown life or death.

All of this happened in just the blink of an eye.

"So strong! Since when did the Three Judicial Departments have such a powerful white-clothed Chief Constable!"

A middle-aged man, also wearing white clothes, looked at the scene with a startled expression from a distance.

"Hurry! It must be resolved quickly! This is Lord Zongzheng’s order!"

Qin Ke noticed and immediately shouted loudly.

The white-clothed middle-aged man originally intended to greet Chen Xuan, to test him out, but...

Forget it!

He once again charged at the Yang Family’s experts.

"Phew—"

Chen Xuan let out a small breath, the next moment arriving beside the middle-aged man of the Yang Family, swiftly using the divine technique: Divine Soul Technique!

"Nothing!"

His brows furrowed slightly, he directly eliminated the man, and then continued to search for the direct members of the Yang Family.
