Chapter 2526: Chapter 2529: Dead for Sure?

"What?"

Gui Ying’s face changed dramatically, turning pale in an instant.

Pang Tong and the others felt a chill in their hearts. The news on the Abandoned Plain was isolated, and the Decree of Execution had only been issued for a year, not yet spread throughout the entire Changlang Continent, let alone this special place, the Abandoned Plain.

It was only when Jiang Chen encountered Cheng Huang’er at the auction that he suddenly remembered the Decree of Execution.

The onlookers were surprised and suddenly focused on the people from Lei Yang Village.

Now, among the onlookers, only the people from the Abandoned Plain were left. Everyone else, who had come from outside the plain, had all hurried to places beyond the plain. This was a decree personally issued by the Great Emperor; if one were to report it first, they would likely be noticed by the people from Canglan City.

By then, soaring to great success would be truly possible, and the resources on the Abandoned Plain would be worth nothing!

The people originally from the Abandoned Plain were considering whether to capture the people from Lei Yang Village, thinking that doing so might make them valued by the people from Canglan City. If the people from Canglan City valued them, they wouldn’t need to hide here anymore, and no enemies from outside would dare to trouble them again.

"The matter of Gui Ying has nothing to do with Lei Yang Village!"

Noticing the unfriendly gazes around them, Pang Tong shouted loudly, his figure flashing and leaping into the air. "All members of Lei Yang Village, quickly report to the village chief!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The people of Lei Yang Village quickly withdrew from the scene, flying towards the Central Region.

The surrounding spectators’ gazes changed, and they all chased after them.

The three major forces were untouchable, but with this opportunity, they dared to target the people of Lei Yang Village. Even if it was later found that Lei Yang Village had no connection to the Nether Kui Snake, the people of Lei Yang Village would not dare to retaliate, as they were acting on behalf of the Great Emperor.

In an instant, the town’s entrance was in chaos, with people fleeing outside the plain and others chasing into the Central Region.

Gui Ying’s face became extremely ugly, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen, trying to escape amidst the chaos.

"What are the people from the three major sects doing? If Gui Ying escapes, you’ll be allies of the Nether Kui Snake!"

Jiang Chen noticed Gui Ying attempting to flee, and he couldn’t let it happen, shouting at Qi Shan and the others.

"Gui Ying, die for me!"

"You scum colluding with the Nether Kui Snake! Die!"

"Trying to frame our Yuanling Sect, you have some nerve! Today, as per the Great Emperor’s order, I’ll kill you, you scoundrel!"

Qi Shan, Elder Liu, and Elder Qiu, after Jiang Chen’s reminder, instantly noticed the fleeing Gui Ying and charged forward with a roar.

"Don’t fall for Jiang Chen’s treachery! He’s using me to escape!"

Gui Ying’s face changed, shouting as he directly charged towards Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, if you want me dead, you’ll die too!"

A strange brilliance flashed in the eyes of Qi Shan and the others, and their momentum weakened.

Jiang Chen calmly watched Gui Ying charging towards him and said indifferently, "Three Semi-Saint experts attacking one person yet allowing him to kill? Are you sure there’s no connection?"

The expressions of Qi Shan and the others all changed, a look of struggle appearing in their eyes.

"Bastard! Still daring to act viciously!"

A roaring voice came from behind Jiang Chen and the others, and two figures suddenly appeared in front of them, rushing towards Gui Ying.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and turned his head to see Pang Guang watching from not far away at the town’s entrance. When their gazes met, Pang Guang smiled and approached the entrance.

Giving a thumbs up to Jiang Chen, Pang Guang said in a low voice, "Brother Jiang, I’m impressed! Leave it to me now. With the matter of Gui Ying, I can keep them all here, and it won’t offend them and affect my position as an heir. Instead, it will boost my influence in the Merchant Alliance; at least recognition from Canglan City is guaranteed!"

"Alright, you handle it then! But Gui Ying must die!"

Jiang Chen nodded, then looked at Gui Ying, who was caught in the five-person siege, with a cold murderous intent in his eyes.

Pang Guang paused slightly, then nodded, turning to the two Merchant Alliance elders fighting Gui Ying and loudly said:

"Two Saint Elders, we don’t need a live capture. The Great Emperor’s order is execution, so we should slay him. Don’t let anyone think that even defecting to the Nether Kui Snake can earn them a chance to redeem themselves. We must stop such thoughts!"

The two elders hesitated, briefly glancing at Pang Guang while fighting, which didn’t align with their original plan.

Receiving the elders’ gaze, Pang Guang heavily nodded.

The two elders no longer hesitated and went all out in their attack.

"Soul Devour!"

Under siege from five powerful figures, Gui Ying panicked. His body trembled, and a vast black mist erupted from his body.

"Soul Devouring Power? You dare use Soul Devouring Power to act viciously? Prepare to die!"

A Saint Elder from the Merchant Alliance shouted in anger, his entire body emanating dazzling Great Dao Divine Light. A gigantic hand descended from the sky, slamming towards Gui Ying.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, Gui Ying was shattered by the palm, and a vast black mist erupted from his broken body.

"Two elders, block Qi Shan and the others!"

Jiang Chen shouted abruptly, his body flashing as he rushed into the large mass of black mist.

"Jiang Chen, don’t think you can escape amidst the chaos!"

Qi Shan shouted, his body flashing as he charged towards the black mist, intending to kill Jiang Chen within.

"Block him!"

Pang Guang hurriedly exclaimed.

The two elders from the Merchant Alliance near the black mist immediately flashed to block in front of Qi Shan.

"Pang Guang, is your Merchant Alliance intending to antagonize our three major sects?"

Qi Shan paused and shouted.

Elder Qiu and Elder Liu exchanged glances, swiftly leaping to Qi Shan’s side. While they dared not associate with Gui Ying, in the face of the four top forces, the Inner Circle Twelve Sects formed a unified front.

Though distant from each other, for significant events on the continent worth their participation, they united to resist the four top forces.

The members of the three major sects below also rushed towards this side.

Yan Hu and the others frowned, ready to rush over.

"Don’t come over!"

Jiang Chen’s voice came from within the black mist.

Wow!

A golden light burst forth, dispersing the vast black mist and revealing Jiang Chen’s figure.

"Jiang Chen, don’t think you can use Gui Ying’s matter as an excuse to escape. Today, your death is certain!"

Qi Shan looked coldly at Jiang Chen.

Pang Guang’s face stiffened, just about to speak when Jiang Chen beat him to it: "Were you trying to kill me just now or to save him?"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen raised his right hand, pointing towards Qi Shan’s direction.

The crowd was stunned, all looking at Jiang Chen’s hand.
