Chapter 946: Capture Him
"Xinghe." On the spectator seats, the Wang family members were greatly shocked.
The Wang Family Patriarch's expression changed.
The Wang Family's Great Elder, Wang Shan, along with several Wang family elders, hurriedly flashed over.
When they touched Wang Xinghe's ice-cold, lifeless body, they were stunned in place.
"How is this possible... Xinghe..."
A group of Wang family elders exclaimed in shock.
The hope of this generation of the Wang family, the strongest Heavenly Talent of this generation, has actually died?
"Is it you?" All the Wang family elders' gazes turned coldly towards Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi remained unmoved, his expression icy and indifferent.
"Take this boy down, kill him on the spot." Wang Shan shouted angrily.
"Yes." Several Wang family elders immediately took action.
The Wang family elders, all above the Heavenly Extreme Fifth Layer, attacked together, their power astonishing.
"Bastards, do you dare?" On the side, Lih Fengxing and others reacted, immediately taking action.
"A bunch of young brats, get lost." The Wang family elders, in a fit of rage, showed no mercy in their attacks.
Judging from their posture, they intended to kill Lih Fengxing and others as well.
Whoosh... At this moment, several Sword Shadows burst forth like a swift shock.
The Sword Shadows fell, and several Wang family elders spat blood and were blasted away.
"Poof." After stabilizing their figures, the shocked Wang family elders looked at Xiao Yi, "Heavenly Extreme Third Layer?"
It was Xiao Yi who struck.
"Heavenly Extreme Third Layer?" On the side, Lih Fengxing and others were initially surprised, then delighted.
"Deacon Xiao Yi, did you break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm?"
The Eldest Prince smirked, "Unexpectedly breaking through a Great Realm, plus jumping three layers of cultivation, truly abnormal."
Cheng Suyan and Chu Rou smiled joyfully, "Congratulations, Young Master Xiao Yi."
Xiao Yi nodded slightly, without speaking.
"Heavenly Extreme Third Layer is not enough to be arrogant in front of me." A sudden shout was heard.
The ordinary Wang family elders were blown away, but the Great Elder Wang Shan remained.
A Limitless Saint Realm expert, in a fury, attacked, his speed incredibly fast.
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, just about to make a move, when a figure suddenly appeared, faster than him.
Among the people present, only a few could be stronger and faster than him.
It was the Star Swapping City Lord who made a move.
"Wang Shan," the Star Swapping City Lord's face was as dark as water, "Do you truly disregard me, the City Lord?"
"And do you truly take our Star Swapping City's rules as nothing?"
The Star Swapping Day is the biggest event in Star Swapping City.
The rules of the Star Swapping Day are well known.
Wang Shan's repeated attempts to attack and even kill the Heavenly Talent participants of the Star Swapping Day greatly challenged the authority of the Star Swapping City Lord as the city's ruler.
The Star Swapping City Lord's face was extremely somber.
This anger of the foremost powerhouse of Star Swapping City was not to be taken lightly.
Wang Shan, a dignified Limitless Saint Realm expert, was oppressed by his aura to the point of immobility, even spewing blood from his mouth.
The surrounding martial artists were extremely shocked.
They had no doubt that now, the furious Star Swapping City Lord would even kill Wang Shan.
At this moment, a figure broke through the air, standing in front of Wang Shan.
The oppressive aura on Wang Shan was instantly offset by half, though not completely.
The newcomer was, of course, the Wang Family Patriarch.
"City Lord," the Wang Family Patriarch cupped his hands and said solemnly, "This matter was Wang Shan's fault."
"But he lost his mind only because of the death of our Wang family Heavenly Talent."
"I hope the City Lord will have great tolerance and not hold it against him."
The Star Swapping City Lord squinted his eyes, "Fine, since Old Family Head Wang pleads for him, I will not quarrel with him for now."
"But remember, do not let there be a next time."
"The iron rules of Star Swapping City, I will not allow anyone to challenge."
The dignified words resounded throughout the venue, no one dared to refute.
Behind the Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Shan's face darkened, "Family Head, Xinghe's death can absolutely not..."
"Shut up." The Wang Family Patriarch rebuked.
After speaking, the Wang Family Patriarch knelt on one knee, examining Wang Xinghe's corpse for a few seconds.
After a while, he frowned, glancing at Xiao Yi, then back at the Wang family elders, "Xinghe's death has nothing to do with him."
"Family Head..." The Wang family elders were extremely anxious.
The Wang Family Patriarch interrupted sternly, "First take Xinghe's body back to the family, give him a proper burial."
"Whatever needs to be discussed, let's talk about it later."
The Wang Family Patriarch, holding absolute authority in the Wang family, naturally had the final say.
The Wang family elders, including Wang Shan, could only respectfully obey, "Yes."
The Wang Family Patriarch was the first to flash back to the spectator seats.
Wang Shan then picked up Wang Xinghe's body and left the Martial Arts Arena with the Wang family elders.
...
36 beams of starlight had already dissipated, 36, no, 35 Heavenly Talents had completed their starlight baptism with various gains.
This session of the Star Swapping Day had come to a perfect end.
However, it was foreseeable that this session of the Star Swapping Day would leave a deep impression on all the martial artists present.
Because this Star Swapping Day left too many topics for discussion.
This Star Swapping Day was vastly different from previous ones.
This Star Swapping Day encountered many unexpected situations.
For the first time, the first place was taken by a Heavenly Talent from outside Star Swapping City.
For the first time, there was a starlight bombardment during the starlight baptism.
Of course, what left the deepest impression on everyone was that breakthrough aura lasting more than two days in the sky.
Along with the death of Wang Xinghe, the Heavenly Talent bathed in starlight.
Perhaps, when new Heavenly Talents visit Star Swapping City in the future and check the city's historical records.
Among countless recordings of Star Swapping Days, this one would undoubtedly have the most ink.
...
The Star Swapping Day had ended, and the martial artists present left one after another.
Only the atmosphere on the Wang family side was unbearably heavy.
"Family Head, Xinghe's death is anything but simple, shouldn't we investigate a bit?" Wang Shan asked urgently.
The Wang Family Patriarch shook his head, "It's unnecessary to investigate; we won't find anything anyway."
"Xinghe's death resulted from his complete mental collapse."
"In other words, Xinghe died while his spirit entered the Star Illusion Space after comprehending 50% of the Inheritance."
"What happened inside the Star Illusion Space, who can know? Who can investigate?"
"The Star Illusion Space, set up with divine means by that senior, how could we possibly glimpse into it?"
"So, is Xinghe's death to remain ambiguous?" Wang Shan's face was angry.
"Naturally not." The Wang Family Patriarch shook his head.
"That boy, Xiao Yi, with his rapid strength growth across three layers, it's evident that the breakthrough aura earlier was his."
"Daring to break through during the starlight baptism, it was definitely not a coincidence."
"Xinghe, too, happened to die at this time."
"Abnormal situations must have a cause; Xinghe's death is definitely related to him."
Wang Shan, puzzled, asked, "Since the Family Head knew it was related to that boy, why not let us capture him?"
"Capture?" The Wang Family Patriarch said coldly, "With the Star Swapping City Lord present, the Sub Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall present, how do you plan to capture a Heavenly Talent from the Wind Shattering Hall?"
"I anticipate that boy won't stay in Star Swapping City for long."
"Wait until he leaves Star Swapping City, then capture him, interrogate him with severe punishment, he will confess obediently."
"Family Head is wise." The Wang family elders said respectfully.
