Gazing at the middle-aged man who had appeared, the geniuses from the four domains had gloomy expressions.
The older generation interfering in the conflicts of the younger ones, such actions are truly contemptible.
Wu Xinyuan looked towards Ling Chen.
In his imagination, even if his father intervened, what could Ling Chen, no matter how heaven-defying, do against him?
Ling Chen simply could not be a match for his father.
However, Ling Chen’s expression was unnaturally calm.
Wu Hai’s gaze also landed on Ling Chen’s face, and seeing the latter’s unaffected demeanor, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.
"Truly deserving to be called the heaven-defying prodigy of the Eastern Domain!" Wu Hai said with a laugh.
This child is not only a genius in Spiritual Power Divine Soul, but his Divine Soul has also cultivated to the late stages of the Emperor Realm — truly terrifying!
Moreover, facing me without showing any fear!
Simply this bearing alone, I greatly admire.
If this young man wasn’t specifically named by Lord Xiao Qian, I would genuinely want to win him over.
"Wu Hai, Commander, right?"
Ling Chen smiled and said, "Back then, were you the one who suggested to the Lord Governor to execute me? I don’t understand why you would do this? It seems I have no grievances with you. Your son attacking the prodigies from the four domains must also be your doing, right? I don’t understand!"
"Young Master Ling, there are some things I can tell you! All I can say is that you offended someone you shouldn’t have."
Ling Chen pondered for a while, but he really couldn’t figure out which influential figure he had offended.
It couldn’t be the Murong Family!
Otherwise, how could the State Governor let him go?
He was even willing to exonerate him!
As for others, it seemed only the Zhao Family of Soul City.
But they were almost wiped out.
Moreover, during the trial, the Lord Governor never mentioned these issues.
Unless there was some influential figure behind the Zhao Family.
"No need to think further, you won’t be able to figure it out."
Wu Hai said with a smile.
Ling Chen nodded and looked at Wu Hai: "Commander Wu, how about we make a deal? I will let your son off, and you tell me the identity of that person, how about it?"
He had to find out this hidden mastermind.
After all, it’s easy to dodge an openly wielded knife, but hard to defend against a hidden arrow!
Otherwise, troubles would be inevitable in the future.
Wu Hai scoffed and said, "Young Master Ling, that’s impossible. Besides, with me here, do you think you can harm Xinyuan? This deal is simply not feasible!"
"So you mean, you, as the formidable Commander, also plan to renege?"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
Wu Hai laughed, "Young Master Ling, do you have any evidence? If not, then if you intend to target my son today, I’m afraid as his father, I cannot agree!"
Ling Chen nodded and said, "I understand. Then, these people, I can make a move against them, right?"
Wu Hai said, "As the Commander of Xingdu, I have a duty to protect these talents of Xingdu safely. Especially here, if they get bullied, wouldn’t I, the Commander, lose all face?"
Hearing this, the talents from Xingdu also breathed a sigh of relief.
With the Commander’s word, it was virtually impossible for Ling Chen to target them.
"Very well, very well!"
Ling Chen burst into laughter, "Truly worthy of being a commander, even defaulting can be spoken of so righteously!"
"Young Master Ling, you can’t speak irresponsibly."
Wu Hai replied, "Without evidence, you can’t accuse the commander of defaulting!"
Dealing with a young lad, he could easily take care of him with the simplest effort.
Hearing this, the talents from the four-domain alliance had their faces turning livid with anger.
This Commander Wu was really shameless.
To distort facts right here!
Liu Ruyun looked worriedly at Ling Chen and said, "Young Master Ling, let us go back! Who asked us to be weaker? We are grateful for what you have done for us!"
She considered things more comprehensively.
Now that Commander Wu Hai of Xingdu has stepped forward, their chances of targeting the talents of Xingdu were gone.
Better to quit while they were ahead.
If they continued to stand off, it wouldn’t do them any good.
"Young Master Ling, you may leave now!"
Wu Hai smiled and said, "I can forgive you for your trespassing!"
"Um, we’ll leave right away!"
Seeing Ling Chen yield, the geniuses of Star City all laughed, their eyes filled with mockery.
What does it matter if he’s defying the heavens?
What does being an Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master matter?
Don’t they still have to leave obediently?
"Young Master Ling, then I won’t see you off!"
Ling Chen glanced at Wu Hai and said, "Commander Wu, before we leave, I need to remind you!"
Wu Hai asked curiously.
"Commander Wu, you should be aware that the Qing Province Genius List will begin in three days, right?"
Ling Chen said with a smile, "In Qing City, you can protect them, and the Lord Governor has also issued an order forbidding geniuses from killing each other! But in the Genius Battlefield, will anyone protect them then?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hai’s face stiffened.
Seeing this, Ling Chen continued, "In the Genius Battlefield, killing isn’t prohibited. There, if we happen to meet, it won’t be as simple as just breaking arms or legs. I think, with Young Master Wu Xinyuan’s meager skills, it wouldn’t take much effort for me to kill him, would it?"
At this point, Wu Hai’s face turned ashen.
The geniuses of Star City could no longer laugh.
The Genius Battlefield is the place for selecting the true geniuses.
Of course, killing is not prohibited.
Only then can the real geniuses be selected!
"Young Master Wu, and everyone else, we’ll meet again in the Genius Battlefield!"
Saying so, Ling Chen strode away.
Watching Ling Chen’s departing figure, Wu Hai moved and intercepted Ling Chen.
Just as Ling Chen said.
The Genius Battlefield indeed doesn’t prohibit killing.
Other geniuses, they all have some background.
Generally, they wouldn’t resort to killing.
But Ling Chen is different!
Ling Chen is someone who dares to kill even a Northern Territory Governor.
If Ling Chen really makes a move on Xinyuan, he would be powerless!
"What’s the matter, Commander Wu? Don’t tell me you want to strike me?"
Ling Chen said with a smile. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
He was not afraid of this man at all.
If not for hiding his strength, he could really fight this person.
Commander Wu should be a Nine-Star Emperor.
Although powerful, the threat to him was limited.
Moreover, the Lord Governor had already strictly forbidden Governor-level figures from attacking geniuses.
This was, after all, in Qing City.
Now, it was also very close to the start of the Qing Province Genius List.
Perhaps the Lord Governor was using the Heaven and Earth Power to monitor the whole of Qing City.
At this time, if he moved against Ling Chen, it would be suicidal.
"Young Master Ling, I was just joking."
Wu Hai smiled awkwardly.
"So, what do you mean, Commander Wu?"
Ling Chen asked with a smile.
Wu Hai smiled and said, "Young Master Ling, I have heard everything about this wager. I should not interfere in the affairs of your younger generation. You can resolve it yourselves."
This change was too sudden.
Just because of a few words from Ling Chen, had this Commander Wu really sold out his own son?
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
"Young Master Ling, I won’t interfere in your matters, but when you reach the Genius Battlefield, could you possibly show some mercy?"
Wu Hai asked with a smile.
