"Make way, all of you!"
This roar startled many of the already distracted Spirit Hunters.
"Who is it?"
"Who knows."
"Get out of the way quickly!"
The last sentence was spoken by Yang Jian.
Then, the Spirit Hunter Guild agents in the sky saw a golden light flashing, carrying rolling spiritual energy, about to pour down!
"Reinforcements are here!"
"Let's retreat quickly!"
Everyone's spirits lifted!
"Is it Brother Chen's people?"
Even at this point, Jun Wuyou and Qin Wuji still held the hope that Jun Wuchen could save them.
The fiery monkey pack on the ground seemed to sense the approaching danger, chattering and attempting to flee.
"Can you escape?!"
"Boom!"
The golden light descended, and dust billowed!
"Cough cough..."
"Look! Look quickly!"
Everyone looked forward in unison, their eyes widening.
The small mountain previously piled up by Qin Wuji had been turned to ash by the aftermath of that terrifying power. Not only that, but a deep pit, like a meteorite impact, had appeared on the ground.
"So strong!"
Yang Jian's pupils contracted.
A flicker of surprise appeared in Qin Youran's eyes.
"I think he and the one you've been hoping for are the same person."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's lips curled into a smile.
"I'll take your good omen."
"Who is it?"
All eyes turned forward, and under everyone's gaze, the first person they saw was a girl.
The girl had a delicate and beautiful face, a graceful and voluptuous figure, and flowing long hair. She covered her nose, waving away the surrounding dust.
"Duan Chen, can you try a different way to show off? You're choking me."
"You don't understand, Captain's entrance is the coolest way."
"Meow meow meow! I'm choking!"
"If you don't show off when you're alive, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"
Behind Tian Qi, Jun Ci, Yuan Yuan, Tu Feiyuan, and Duan Chen stepped out one by one. To the Spirit Hunters present, other than Jun Ci and Qin Nanyuan, the rest were all unfamiliar faces.
"Uncle Guang and Uncle Liang?"
"And Yan Qiu Ren?!"
Jun Wuyou and Qin Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Jun Wuchen might have sent people to rescue them.
"Are they Jun Wuchen's people?" Yang Jian frowned.
"No, they are not."
Qin Youran shook her head, a sense of unease growing within her.
Jun Youguang and Qin Youliang's expressions were too grim, so grim it was terrifying.
"Uncle."
She stepped forward, bowing slightly.
"Mhm, Youran, come here."
Qin Youliang, usually gentle, pulled her forcefully behind him.
"Yes."
Qin Youran sensed something and her brows furrowed even deeper.
"Sister Youran."
Qin Nanyuan patted her shoulder.
"Nanyuan? How are you? Were you mistreated over there?" Qin Youran held her hand, her eyes filled with worry.
"Not at all. Although we were exiled, we are still members of the Jun and Qin families. What could they do to us?" Qin Nanyuan said with a smile.
Their relationship seemed to be quite good.
Duan Chen silently made a note, deciding that it would be better for Jun Youguang and Qin Youliang to explain the upcoming events. As an outsider, he was not suitable.
"Uncle Guang, Uncle Liang, and Sister Yan, where's Brother Chen? Are they outside?" Jun Wuyou first cast a disgusted glance at Jun Ci and Qin Nanyuan, then walked forward excitedly, seemingly not noticing Qin Youliang's small movement just now.
"You still dare to mention your brother?!"
Unexpectedly, Jun Youguang exploded in rage, kicking him several meters away. Jun Wuyou's body left a long bloody streak on the ground, appearing utterly pathetic.
Qin Wuji was stunned.
So were the others.
Jun Youguang was known for his hot temper in the capital, but no one had ever seen him this furious.
Even the mild-mannered Qin Youliang had a grim expression.
Qin Youran sighed, knowing that day might have arrived.
"Uncle Guang..." Qin Wuji was so terrified his scalp tingled, he didn't dare to move, his body already soaked in sweat.
"Enough, Aguang. It seems they don't know either."
Qin Youliang patted Jun Youguang's shoulder and let out a long sigh.
"Jun Wuchen colluded with the Evil God's Apostles, attempting to harm many agents of the Spirit Hunter Guild. After leaving the secret realm, Aguang and I will report this matter in full!"
"What?!"
"Jun Wuchen colluded with the Apostles?!"
Apostles were an absolute bottom line that Spirit Hunters could never cross!
And the Guild's Headquarters President had colluded with the Apostles, intending to kill them!
Jun Wuyou got up from the ground, his face contorted in a snarl.
"This is impossible!"
"What's impossible about it? Shall we wait until we get out and see the evidence?"
Jun Youguang sneered.
Duan Chen held a fragment in his hand, which had fallen from the crystal ball earlier. As long as this fragment was brought close to Jun Wuchen, Du Qingyi could replicate the sealed part of his memory.
Evidence would be easily obtained.
"Uncle Guang! You can't be believing those two bastards, Jun Ci and Qin Nanyuan! And that Duan Chen! They are outsiders, not part of our Jun family! This might just be their scheme!"
"It's impossible."
Qin Youliang sighed softly. Before coming here, Duan Chen had shown him some of the evidence he possessed. While the evidence was not enough to prove Jun Wuchen's collusion with the Apostles, it was close enough to make deductions.
"You two old fools! You must be jealous of my brother's position!"
"Stubborn and ignorant!"
Duan Chen found that this guy and his brother indeed had some similarities in certain aspects.
Otherwise, why were their words equally annoying?
"Captain, let's tie him up here and let him see when his brother will come to save him."
"Isn't this a typical case of being sold and still counting the money for the seller?"
Jun Wuyou gritted his teeth and turned his gaze to Yan Qiu Ren.
"Yan Qiu Ren! They might not know about my brother, but you do, right? He would absolutely not collude with the Apostles!"
"But the fact is that."
Yan Qiu Ren displayed the "Cultivation of a Weather Vane" to the fullest. She had already seen that the momentum of the Jun and Qin families was declining, and Jun Wuchen's downfall was a foregone conclusion. Instead of staying in the Jun family, it was better to find a new path.
"You—!"
Jun Wuyou could hardly believe the speed of this woman's change of attitude.
"You bastard—!"
"Bang!"
A punch from an unknown source sent Jun Wuyou flying far away. The crowd didn't even see a shadow of the punch before he was sent flying.
Duan Chen picked his ear, looking disgusted.
"So noisy."
"Don't you have ears?"
"Tutu, tell him louder."
Tu Feiyuan smirked, jumped onto Duan Chen's head, and puffed up his chest.
"Jun Wuchen—colluded with the Apostles—!"
"Jun Wuyou's brother—Jun Wuchen—betrayed the Spirit Hunter Guild—colluded with the Apostles—!!"
He infused his voice with spiritual energy, making it resonate like a bell, echoing in the air for a long time.
