Chapter 841: Still not, surrender?

Tian-Shu Realm.

Dense cracks spread over the black bowl. The pressure of the five realm representatives joining forces could destroy this ownerless Dao-Foundation treasure in a very short time.

"...Twilight Society?" The Tower Master of the Heaven-Reaching Tower heard the information passed on, and his brows locked tight instantly.

"Yes, two identities have been confirmed. One is the destroyer of the Aurora Realm, Heart 6 Chen Ling, whose notoriety has spread to all realms recently; one is Spade 6, who also killed people in public in the Aurora Realm and left behind a large number of playing cards... As for the last one, we don't have much information, but he seems to be very close to the other two, and is likely also a Twilight Society member."

"Where there is the Twilight Society, there is never anything good." The representative of the Xuanyu Realm snorted coldly, "Maybe the appearance of the Ghost Divine Path this time is also related to them... It's all a conspiracy of the Twilight Society!"

"But they killed Kongwang with their own hands."

As soon as this sentence came out, several realm representatives fell into silence.

"Then... maybe it really has nothing to do with them?" The representative of the Nanhai Realm spoke objectively,

"Actually, in the end, we all know what the Twilight Society is about... The oral account of Red Sleeve back then, the final document sent out by Aurora City, and the notes of that reporter surnamed Wen are all enough to prove that the Twilight Society had nothing to do with the destruction of Aurora City. As for that so-called destroyer of the Aurora Realm, Heart 6, it was even more fabricated."

"But someone has to take the blame for all this." Another realm representative shook his head, "Otherwise, how can we explain it to the people of other realms? Tell them that it was an irresistible disaster invasion and the regression of material civilization that led to the destruction of the Aurora Realm? That would cause panic..."

"The disaster invasion cannot be controlled, and the regression of civilization is even more ethereal. Telling the people these things will only make them worry all day long... And shifting everything to a specific enemy like the Twilight Society can make the remaining realms more united. Besides, even if the destruction of the Aurora Realm has nothing to do with the Twilight Society, what about the Ruoshui Realm?"

"The Twilight Society did indeed destroy the Ruoshui Realm, this is beyond doubt... And who can guarantee that the Twilight Society didn't exert force in secret behind the scenes of those things that happened in the Aurora Realm?"

"Alright, now is not the time to discuss these!"

The Tower Master stopped everyone's argument.

He looked down and saw that the streets in the distance were already crowded with people. The realm talks were the most important event that the people of the Tian-Shu Realm were concerned about recently, and the sudden departure of the representatives during the talks made the people puzzled...

Many people were approaching here with the mentality of watching the fun, and there were even media from major realms, crowding everywhere in the streets, pointing at the ghostly black bowl, as if they were discussing something eagerly.

"What's the situation? Isn't this the competition for the Heaven-Reaching Star Position? Did something happen inside??"

"It should be... Didn't you see that the surroundings have been cordoned off? And that big bowl, where did it appear from? I feel like it's chilly all around."

"Have you heard? It seems that those young prodigies participating in the competition have been kidnapped!"

"Ah?!"

"No wonder several realm representatives rushed over, this is a big deal."

"Yeah, during the realm talks, someone actually dared to kidnap young prodigies? This is simply slapping the five major realms in the face!"

"This is more than just a slap in the face, this is trying to cut off the foundation of us humans... Who has such great courage?"

“……”

In the crowd,

Spade 9 looked at the black bowl that was about to break, and the realm representatives standing by in the air, his brows locked tight.

The noisy sounds blew into the ears of several realm representatives with the wind. The Tower Master looked at the crowded people below, his expression becoming increasingly solemn...

"Tower Master, this bowl is about to break... Kongwang is dead, what about those few Twilight Society people?"

A staff member of the Heaven-Reaching Tower asked cautiously.

"No matter what, we must hide the existence of the Ghost Divine Path. As for the fact that the Red Star is about to descend again and the execution of the Nine Lords, we must not leak a single word..." A realm representative spoke, and other representatives followed suit without hesitation.

"Then, how do we explain it to the people?"

Several realm representatives looked at each other, their expressions somewhat complex.

In the end, the representative of the Xuanyu Realm spoke first, "Isn't there a ready-made answer here? The Twilight Society kidnapped young prodigies and extorted the five major realms... We will execute them on the spot."

The staff member was stunned for a moment, and finally looked at the Tower Master of the Heaven-Reaching Tower...

After struggling for a long time, the latter slowly closed his eyes:

"...Let's do it."

"Yes."

With the departure of the staff, the realm representatives felt a mix of emotions... guilt, helplessness, and relief. If Twilight Society members hadn't mixed into this Heaven-Reaching Star Position competition, they really wouldn't have been able to explain it to the people. But the appearance of Chen Ling and the others undoubtedly gave them a standard answer to perfectly cover up the facts.

Now that the nine major realms had either been destroyed or rebelled, people's hearts were already extremely unstable... For the sake of humanity's future and stability, what did it matter if they went against their conscience?

What's more, it was just three Twilight Society members.

Hideous cracks were like spider webs on the black bowl. As long as it received one more bit of external force, it would shatter completely!

……

"We will cover your retreat."

Hearing this sentence, the three of Chen Ling were stunned.

Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng didn't expect that these Twilight Society seniors would actually stand out at this time... You have to know, there were a bunch of eighth and seventh-stage experts outside!

With the five major realm representatives joining forces, unless the four Ks of the Twilight Society, or the Gray King or Red King made a move, it was almost impossible to contend. And these Twilight Society members before them could never have combat power above the K level.

In other words, even if they added up, they could only hold those people back for a moment... And then what?

Chen Ling didn't know what means these people had. Maybe they were like Jin Fugui who could fake death? Or were they extremely good at escaping or disguising? This seemed to be a necessary skill within the Twilight Society...

But even so, they were still taking huge risks!

"Although you kid killed Jin Fugui, you also saved his soul back... one thing is one thing. Besides, you risked your lives to kill Kongwang, which can be considered as protecting us in disguise. So we old seniors can't always let the young people rush to the front." Plum 7 spoke indifferently, "If the outside world knew, they would think our Twilight Society is just a bunch of cowards."

Seeing this, Chen Ling was about to say something when a loud noise came from above!

BOOM—!!

The black bowl shattered inch by inch, and the sharp explosion echoed in every corner of the Old District, making everyone in the bowl unable to help but cover their ears.

The residual ghost energy drifted in the air, and five figures exuding terrifying oppression stood together above the Old District like gods, and dense high-level combat power was scattered everywhere, like heavenly soldiers and generals!

"Kidnapping prodigies, extorting realms, arrogant and extremely wild!!" The Tower Master's voice was like a bell. He looked down at the shattered Old District below, paused for a moment, and then spoke again,

"Twilight Society villains... still not, surrender?!"
