Rebirth of the Urban Demon Lord

Chapter 70 Standoff in the "Courtroom"

Chapter Seventy: Confrontation in the "Courtroom"

Zhuo Yang was surprised when the demonic eyes swept over him.

The girl's true energy fluctuations were only at the stage of being moved, but she gave Zhuo Yang a very dangerous feeling. Moreover, the fact that an old man could call her "senior" meant that she must have extraordinary abilities.

Zhuo Yang finally became vigilant and wary of the girl.

"You're Zhuo Yang?"

The young girl, Xin Mirou, stood up. She had a sweet and lovely appearance, with a cute and kawaii vibe. She was about 1.6 meters tall and looked rather petite, yet she spoke to Zhuo Yang in the tone of an elder.

Zhuo Yang nodded, squinting as he continued to observe her.

"Did you really kill all twenty-four members of the Fu family?" Xin Mirou asked with a stern face as she walked up to Zhuo Yang. "Give me your hand so I can sense it with my true essence. If you're lying, I can sense it."

Zhuo Yang said coldly, "Impossible."

Only a fool would let their guard down and allow the opponent's true energy to enter their body. If the opponent were to do something malicious, their true energy could explode with just a thought, causing serious injury on the spot.

It should be noted that when two different types of true essence meet, the result is an explosion.

"You disagree? Is it because you feel guilty?" Xin Mirou asked with a questioning look, squinting her big eyes at Zhuo Yang's eyes.

Zhuo Yang showed no sign of backing down. Meeting the other party's scrutinizing gaze, he sneered, "I don't trust any of you here, you bunch of hypocrites."

"What did you say?" Lei Xiang roared in anger, jumping up and pointing at Zhuo Yang. "Kid, watch your mouth, or I'll slap you to death!"

"You can try and see who dies first!" Zhuo Yang's hawk-like eyes turned and fixed on Lei Xiang.

In an instant, the entire room was enveloped in a chilling atmosphere; the air cooled and formed a thin layer of mist.

The four presidents of the Lingzhou Cultivator Alliance, as well as Fu Jing, were all taken aback by the sudden burst of power, and their faces were filled with surprise and doubt.

This kind of aura is probably not something an ordinary person can produce. Just what level of cultivation does Zhuo Yang have?

Yan Xiao became increasingly certain that Zhuo Yang's cultivation level was terrifyingly high, so he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Everyone, everyone, let's talk this out. Let's all sit down and clarify things!"

Xin Mirou stared at Zhuo Yang with her big eyes for a moment, then returned to her chair and sat down.

Fu Jing simply sat in the only empty chair on the north side, in the same row as the other four presidents of the alliance.

Lei Xiang finally sat down, his face somewhat pale, secretly on guard: "That kid's cultivation seems quite astonishing. I can't fight him one-on-one, or I might suffer a loss!"

However, with Fu Jing sitting next to him, he quickly suppressed his fear and put on a righteous expression, repeatedly saying that he would help Fu Jing get justice.

The situation finally returned to normal. Yan Xiao took a deep breath and said loudly, "Zhuo Yang, let me introduce myself first. I am Yan Xiao, the president of the Lingzhou Cultivator Alliance."

"This is Lei Xiang, the vice president of the alliance."

"This is the vice president, Xin Mirou."

"This is Ma Jian'an, the chairman of the Alliance's Disciplinary Committee, who is in charge of arresting troublemaking cultivators."

After the introduction, he felt a little embarrassed because Zhuo Yang didn't react at all and didn't give anyone face.

Seeing this, Lei Xiang sneered, "Chairman Yan, why bother with so many fancy tricks? Now that the victim and the suspect are both here, let's just start the alliance's investigation process directly. As long as the evidence is conclusive, we can immediately convict the perpetrator and then have Chairman Ma lead the team to carry it out."

Yan Xiao gave a bitter laugh, feeling hesitant.

Zhuo Yang was putting too much pressure on him. Cui Yi had said that two Golden Core stage experts had died at his hands, and last night, another Golden Core stage expert was killed by him on the back mountain of Penglai Pavilion Community...

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that being the president of the Cultivator Alliance was really difficult, and he was already thinking of resigning.

After coughing twice to ease the awkwardness, Yan Xiao tried to put on a serious face and said, "Zhuo Yang, you don't need to be nervous. Tell everyone what you did last night, and we'll judge whether what you're saying is true."

"You can rest assured that Chairman Ma is an upright person. As long as you didn't do it, he will never take action against you."

Ma Jian'an, who had been silent until now, nodded upon hearing this, still with a stern face, as if everyone owed him millions.

"You all make it sound so fair." Zhuo Yang stood with his hands behind his back, scoffing at everyone. "What right do you have to interrogate me? Do you think a mere Lingzhou Cultivator Alliance can overstep its bounds and replace the court in judging a person?"

The four guild leaders present all had true essence fluctuations at the Heartbeat stage. Zhuo Yang really didn't have a high opinion of the so-called Cultivator Alliance based on these people.

The four guild leaders' faces turned grim. Lei Xiang roared furiously, "Zhuo Yang, you are also a cultivator, so you must obey the jurisdiction of the Cultivator Alliance. You killed ordinary people and slaughtered twenty-four of them. Any cultivator can kill you. You are a scumbag whom everyone has the right to kill!"

The insults echoed in the room. Zhuo Yang frowned and said, "Try saying that again!"

In an instant, a chilling killing intent enveloped Lei Xiang, giving him a terrifying feeling as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric beast.

"Uh……"

Lei Xiang opened his mouth to continue cursing, but the words got stuck in his throat.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you afraid of dying?" Zhuo Yang sneered.

Lei Xiang was instantly enraged, his anger rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, instantly shattering his reason. He stood up, and a blue mist suddenly appeared in his palm. He then swung his hand violently at Zhuo Yang.

The moment the cyan mist left his hand, it suddenly transformed into a massive cloud of air with a diameter exceeding two meters. The powerful, icy aura contained within it instantly caused the temperature in the entire room to plummet.

"Xuan Bing Zhen Yuan!"

Xin Mirou called out softly.

Lei Xiang owns a martial arts school in Lingzhou. Before the Blue Star's energy surged, he lived quietly among ordinary people.

Following the primordial energy tremor that affected the entire Blue Star, a large number of cultivators appeared, and several awakened individuals with the Five Elements abilities infiltrated Lingzhou and caused chaos. Lei Xiang suddenly appeared, leading a dozen or so disciples with considerable cultivation, and directly captured those awakened individuals, shocking the cultivators of Lingzhou.

When the Cultivator Alliance was established, Lei Xiang was nominated as a candidate for president and eventually became vice president. It can be said that in the hearts of all the cultivators in Lingzhou, Lei Xiang was one of the very few with exceptional strength.

Xin Mirou wasn't reminding Zhuo Yang; she was marveling at how powerful Lei Xiang's true essence had become.

The azure Xuanbing True Yuan Qi ball had already enveloped Zhuo Yang, and it looked like it was about to completely envelop him.

At this moment, Zhuo Yang sneered: "What a waste!"

The icy aura suddenly exploded, and the icy cold air instantly filled the entire room.

Yan Xiao, Ma Jian'an, and Xin Mirou immediately deployed their true energy in front of them to block the incoming energy cloud. Lei Xiang coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he quickly stood in front of Fu Jing to shield her from the extremely cold energy.

The entire room's tables, chairs, and walls were instantly covered by a thin layer of ice, demonstrating the power of the Xuanbing Qi.

Zhuo Yang stood with his hands behind his back, completely unaffected by the cold air.

"You... how did you do that?" Lei Xiang wiped the blood from his chin and asked with a ferocious expression.

Zhuo Yang said calmly, "You only have Xuanbing True Essence. You don't even know the method to condense True Essence. It's clear that your understanding of True Essence is far too poor."
