There was a dimensional creature that was close to level-7 in the Yunpan Mountain? Was he too ignorant and ill-informed in the past, or had the mutated creatures on Earth suddenly evolved too quickly? This kind of place was not suitable for such powerful creatures to exist.
Wang Zhong glanced at the mutated creature that looked like a cat but wasn't a cat, still crawling on the ground and shivering. It seemed to have suddenly sensed the murderous intent from this human. The shivering new king suppressed the fear and panic in its heart and suddenly used all its remaining strength to jump up from the ground. However, it wasn't to attack Wang Zhong, but to flee into the distance.
Wang Zhong did not attack. After experiencing too many things, his outlook was completely different. Humans were no longer the humans of the past, and some things could no longer go back. The current Earth was a completely new environment of order, where the strong survived and the weak were eliminated. When one's power reached a certain level, they would not interfere too much with natural evolution.
From the Octopus people's forbidden grounds to the time and space tunnel, they had all revealed the importance of the Golden Stone Slab. If he connected the dots and thought about it, the Holy Saint Teacher meant for him to gather all 11 stone slabs and find that strange stone tablet. Only then would he be able to obtain the mysterious rainbow stone slab. Furthermore, it was very likely to be something that could stop the disaster.
Wang Zhong could not guess what kind of state the Holy Saint Teacher was in. He felt that he had to report this to the Sacred Teacher when he returned to the base. This was definitely not something that a Great Teacher could interfere with.
However, since he had returned to Tianjing, Wang Zhong was not in a hurry. He also wanted to know how his old friends were doing.
"I'll go back to the military base outside Tianjing. I wonder how Barran and the rest are doing." Wang Zhong had already turned his gaze back to the Skylink in his hands. There was a relaxed smile on his face. Everything that he had seen in the river of time had not only further stimulated his determination to become stronger, but it had also made him cherish his old friendships. When the calamity of the human race arrived, he did not know if he would have the chance to see his old friends again. "There's also the old principal. They will probably be shocked."
He sent a private message to Si Jiali's Skylink and told her about his current situation. At the same time, he opened the news in Tianjing. It would have been better if he had not opened it. Once he opened it, Wang Zhong's relaxed and gentle gaze instantly turned cold and lifeless.
On the front page of Tianjing's news, there was a huge and eye-catching title.
"The Heavenly Dragon Guards have attacked, and the remaining members of the Assassins have been executed. Even their accomplices in Tianjing, Hymin, Barran, Colby, and the others, will be publicly executed at the square of the Tianjing Conference Hall at noon today!"
Heavenly Dragon Guards? Remnants of Assassin? Accomplice Barran? Public execution?
Bang!
After the trial in the Phoenix Sacred Mountain, as well as the battles that followed, Wang Zhong's strength was no longer the same as before. His hand strength was so great that even he had not completely gotten used to it. In a moment of carelessness, his Skylink was crushed in his hand.
However, Wang Zhong didn't care about it. Casually tossing the tattered Skylink to the side, a vicious glint flashing within his eyes.
The Heavenly Dragon Guards were the elite forces of the Zhao Family. They had actually captured people and brought them to Tianjing. They had even captured and executed Barran and the others?
It's noon today … Wang Zhong raised his head to look at the sky. It was already morning, and he could barely see the sun hanging in the east through the thick haze. It should be around eight or nine in the morning. There was a distance of 400 to 500 kilometers between Tianjing and Tianjing. Even if he were to take a special armored train, he would definitely not be able to make it in time. However, this wasn't a problem for him. Heh heh, they really came at the right time.
A ray of light flashed in Wang Zhong's eyes. He activated his Soul Power in his body, and golden runes shone. Compared to the Mizobudapi World, the gravity on Earth was much lower, and there was less pressure on experts flying. His surging power resisted the gravity of the Earth's core and easily lifted him into the air.
It was time to get rid of the Zhao Family!
Whoosh ~ ~ ~
The figure that was suspended in the air suddenly shot forward like a terrifying air bullet. A massive air current and cloud circle surged behind him, and a golden light shot rapidly in the direction of Tianjing like a beam of light.
… …
This was a sealed dungeon located under the Tianjing City Hall. Dozens of people, regardless of gender, were imprisoned here.
All of them had unkempt hair and dirty faces, and there were various scars on their bodies from being tortured. Their hands and feet were shackled with Soul Power that was specially used to restrain Casted Soul Stage soldiers. Electromagnetic needles pierced through the shackles and pierced into the wearer's body, sealing their meridians. As long as they dared to circulate their Soul Power, these electromagnetic needles would explode when their Soul Power flowed through them, piercing the meridians of their hands and feet, causing them unbearable pain.
Everyone was curled up in this room in a daze, and most of their eyes were empty and lifeless. There was even a child who was only half a year old. He was carried in the arms of a young woman with disheveled hair. The child's strong and forceful cries finally injected some vitality into this lifeless dungeon room, attracting the attention of most people.
"Good baby, baby, don't cry. Mommy is here …" The young woman who was carrying the baby kept shaking her shoulders, and her voice was slightly hoarse. She had not drunk water for a few days, and her plump lips were dry and cracked. She was no longer as beautiful as before.
"Senior Lily, is the child hungry?" Hymin was by the young woman's side. The shackles on her hands and feet were especially heavy and large. After all, she was one of the most talented special ability users in Tianjing. Therefore, the guards were especially careful with her. She wanted to stretch out her hand to tease the child, but she was simply unable to lift it. She was once one of the three great beauties of Tianjing Academy. Now, she was just like the others, with disheveled hair and dirty face. Her clothes were ragged, and she was no longer as glorious as before.
That young woman was Lily. Upon hearing Hymin's words, she could only sigh. How could she not know that the child was hungry? However, they had been imprisoned here for almost a month, and their meals were not guaranteed. She simply did not have any milk for the child to drink.
"It's all my fault for being too useless!" Colby gave himself a tight slap on the face, his eyes filled with dejection and regret.
After the end of the CHF, he and Lily had participated in the recruit test for the Federation's mechanized battalion. Originally, as members of the main force of the CHF, they had high hopes of staying in the mechanized battalion. However, due to their slightly weaker strength, and the training being too tough, they took the initiative to give up and were eliminated. After that, he returned to Tianjing with Lily. The two of them got married and had a child, becoming a teacher in Tianjing Academy. They even had a child half a year ago. This kind of life was what Colby and Lily had hoped for. If not, they would not have given up so easily in the mechanized battalion. However, now … if they had persevered a little longer, and stayed in the mechanized battalion with Lily, they might not have faced such a calamity today.
Bang!
A loud bang rang out from the side, and a towering man fiercely smashed his fist against the wall. He was tall and sturdy, and possessed astonishing divine strength. His Soul Power was naturally released, causing the dungeon to buzz, and a large cloud of dust fell from the top of his head. However, at the same time, the electromagnetic shackles on his hands and feet reacted. White electromagnetic spikes suddenly extended from the shackles, piercing through the wrists and ankles of the huge man. In an instant, blood flowed out, and large beads of sweat instantly appeared on the forehead of the huge man. However, he forcefully endured it.
"That hateful Zhao Family!" He cursed angrily with unwillingness. "This group of bastards won't even let off a child!"
As he roared, many of the lifeless people in the dungeon started to curse in a low voice. There were a few so-called remnants of the Assassin Family here, but they were basically ordinary members of the Assassin Family that were not important. As for the others, they were a group of people who had good relations with Ma Dong and Wang Zhong in Tianjing. For example, the former sponsor of the Prodigy Society, Qian Duoduo, and a few other core members of the Prodigy Society when Wang Zhong and Ma Dong were still around.
The leader of the remnants of the Assassin Family? The reason why the Zhao Family couldn't catch them was because they couldn't catch the leaders of the Assassin Family. That was why they came up with this desperate method. They captured these people and publicly executed them. They wanted to lure Ma Dong, who had been hiding in the dark, out. Naturally, the Zhao Family also knew that the chances of success were extremely low. However, so what? Even if they couldn't lure Ma Dong out, killing this group of people would serve as an example to others. It would serve as a warning to those who still dared to help the Assassin Family hide in the dark. They would make them tremble in fear, and they might even take the initiative to reveal all information about the Assassin Family.
Hymin held Barran's hand and comforted him. "Don't be so pessimistic. Headmaster Greene is running around. I heard that Scarlet and Wang Zhong are doing well in the Holy Land. Perhaps Headmaster Greene will have a way to rescue us in the end."
"That's too naive," a fatty beside her said weakly. A fatty at the side said weakly, "Headmaster Greene has some influence in the Federation now, but he doesn't have much power. Those big shots might be polite to Headmaster Greene, but they definitely won't offend the Zhao Family for his sake. Besides, the notice has already been given. The execution will be carried out in half an hour. Hehe, this time, we're dead meat."
This fatty was Qian Duoduo. He didn't have the handcuffs and anklets that were specially used to restrain Casted Soul Stage soldiers. He wasn't a soldier, but he was no longer as chubby as before. Instead, he looked much thinner. He was one of the first to be arrested in this large-scale operation by Tianjing. Previously, Ma Dong had looked for him after he was released from prison. The matter of him passing a note as a warning had already been exposed, so it wasn't an undeserved calamity.
"Don't count on us being rescued. Even if Wang Zhong and Scarlet really have some power in the Holy Land, distant water can't quench our thirst. Let's pray that the gun will be accurate during the execution so that we won't have to suffer." There was no fear in Qian Duoduo's eyes. Instead, there was a hint of playfulness and anticipation. "Maybe one day, Wang Zhong will really help us take revenge!"
"That's right! We won't die in vain. Senior Wang Zhong and the Assassin Family will definitely uproot the Zhao Family and cut those bastards into a thousand pieces! "
"Senior Wang Zhong will definitely do it!"
Everyone in the dungeon responded one after another. The door was pulled open, and a wretched-looking man with a small mustache walked in with a large group of guards.
The man with a small mustache obviously heard the angry voices of this group of people. At this moment, he just smiled and said, "What are you crying about? You expect a mere remnant of the Assassins, a mere Heroic Soul trash, to help you take revenge? Hehehehe, a bunch of trash who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You can only beg for such unrealistic dreams on the road to hell. It's time to send you on your way! "
There was a middle-aged man in the middle of the square of the Tianjing Conference Hall. His cheeks were clean, and his hair was slicked back. He stood in front of the conference hall, as if he was the moon surrounded by stars. He was surrounded by the Tianjing Speaker and a group of parliament members, who were eagerly flattering him.
Zhao Wuji was the third-in-command of the Zhao Family and the elder brother of the current Zhao Family patriarch. He was in charge of the Zhao Family's most elite Heavenly Dragon Guards and was also in charge of the Zhao Family's punishments. He had great power in his hands all year round, making him look imposing without being angry. Even in the entire Federation, Zhao Wuji was definitely one of the top figures.
This time, the idea of coming to Tianjing to make an example out of Scarlet was his idea. In fact, the person he wanted to deal with the most was Old Grimm. Old Grimm had helped the Assassins a lot, but he was rejected by the upper echelons of the family. After all, Scarlet had the support of a Great Teacher in the Holy City. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Zhao Family definitely did not want or dare to fall out with such a person. In the end, they had captured such a large group of useless soldiers. There was some regret on Zhao Wuji's face. What a pity. Back then, the Zhao Family was so glorious. Even now, the Zhao Family did not have a Great Teacher in the Holy City. Although they could not reach Sophia's level, they were definitely not soft persimmons that could be bullied by others. In the end, they did not even dare to kill someone just because this person was the family of one of Sophia's disciples. The Zhao Family was really … getting worse with each generation.
Zhao Wuji sighed slightly. In front of him, there were more than 10 gunmen in charge of the execution. They were wiping the Barrett sniper rifles in their hands. One shot to the head was painless. This was also the embodiment of humanity in the Federation's criminal laws.
Most of the people in the square had expressions of grief, anger, and dissatisfaction on their faces. Almost all the people in Tianjing had received various benefits from the Academy after it achieved good results in the CHF. They thought about how glorious it was when Tianjing Academy returned to its hometown. When the various rewards were handed down, the entire Tianjing was excited and honored. Barran, Hymin, Colby, Lily, and the others were all heroes of Tianjing. However, in the blink of an eye, these heroes of Tianjing had all become prisoners and were about to be publicly executed.
Even the most ordinary people in Tianjing would feel that the beliefs in their hearts had been trampled, let alone the relatives and friends who had friendly relations with them. Furthermore, the Zhao Family had come to Tianjing to capture the remnants of the Assassin Family. Naturally, they had to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of dissidents, implicating many people. Barran and his group were only the ones on the surface. There were even more souls who had died unjustly because of this. Everyone seemed to have suddenly realized that the dark era had not passed. To a colossus like the Zhao Family, there was no difference between ordinary citizens and those mutated humans in the refugee camps outside the city.
What equality for everyone in the Federation? What laws and regulations? Don't be childish. In the face of true power, these things were simply empty words. At this moment, not only did the Tianjing City government not take any action against the Zhao Family, they even protected and escorted them in the name of 'fairness'. They helped them find loopholes and loopholes in the various laws and regulations. Rules were things that only applied to the weak.
Dozens of prisoners waiting to be executed had already been dragged to the center of the square. Barran, Hymin, Colby, Lily, Qian Duoduo, and the other main 'leaders' had a total of 10 people. They were the first batch of people to be executed. The powerful guards escorted them to the front and stood them side by side. The originally buzzing crowd instantly quietened down.
