Chapter 396: Don't Blame Me for Being Impolite
The Chief Referee's expression turned severe. The Spiritual Energy of the early Ocean Realm was released without reservation, locking onto Su Zhan, his voice icy. "Su Zhan, leave the arena immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
What was even more heart-palpitating was this.
The several high-level figures who had acted to stop Bai Pojun, along with the two other silent individuals in the know—a total of five Ocean Realm auras—slowly rose up, pressing toward Su Zhan in the air without the slightest concealment.
Spiritual Energy radiance swirled around their bodies, stirring the energy of heaven and earth.
The sky above the entire Celestial Arena became oppressively heavy.
The winds and clouds changed color!
This was no longer a warning, but an ultimatum!
The scene fell into deathly silence.
Everyone was awestruck by this sudden surge of power.
Who could have imagined that a challenge between young geniuses would evolve to such a point, provoking several Ocean Realm powerhouses to personally step in, using their might to suppress someone!On the Glory High Platform.
Chu Zhou and the others watched the forcibly restrained Bai Pojun.
Then, sensing those five terrifying auras locking onto Su Zhan like primordial behemoths, they clenched their fists one by one, feeling a profound sense of powerlessness.
Ye Hongyu abruptly stood up, her face deathly pale, wanting to say something, but was subtly restrained by an aura from a high-level figure beside her.
All eyes focused on Su Zhan.
Su Zhan hovered in the air, his clothes flapping wildly in the violent currents of energy.
He suddenly smiled.
Su Zhan slowly raised a hand and lightly clapped.
*Clap, clap, clap.*
The crisp sound of applause was especially jarring in the silent arena.
"Good, very good."
Su Zhan's gaze swept over the five high-level figures who were poised to strike, one by one. "Five Ocean Realm seniors, joining forces to deal with a mere Abyss Realm junior like me... What a grand spectacle, what impressive... might!"
At that very moment.
A terrifying Pressure, far more ancient than that of all the Ocean Realm powerhouses present.
Like the sky itself collapsing, descended without the slightest warning.
This Pressure wasn't aimed at everyone, but it caused the faces of the five high-level figures preparing to attack Su Zhan to change drastically, the Spiritual Energy gathered around their bodies instantly stalling.
The Chief Referee at the early Ocean Realm stage, who was just about to apprehend Su Zhan, felt as if the space around him had frozen solid. He couldn't even move a finger, his eyes filled with utter terror and disbelief.
High in the sky, gray-white Mist materialized out of thin air, slowly rotating as if opening a portal to another dimension.
A figure clad in a deep cyan robe, hands clasped behind his back, stepped out from within the Mist with a single stride.
His features were ancient, his eyes profound. No dazzling Spiritual Energy radiance surrounded him, only the swirling power of Mist, as if he himself was the master of the Mist.
The Lord of Black City.
Mo Yuan!
Merely by standing there, the Pressure naturally emanating from him already suppressed the entire arena.
"Mo Yuan!"
"How did he get here?!"
On the Judges' Platform, several high-level figures cried out in shock, their expressions turning extremely grim.
Mo Yuan's sudden appearance completely disrupted their plans!
Mo Yuan's gaze swept indifferently over the scene below, finally landing on the immobilized Chief Referee. His tone was detached. "Who gave you the courage to lay hands on someone I favor?"
As his words fell.
The Chief Referee didn't even have time to grunt. The restraining force around him suddenly intensified, and his entire person plummeted from mid-air, crashing heavily outside the arena.
Although not dead, he was clearly severely injured, incapable of taking action again for a considerable time.
With casual ease, he had incapacitated an early Ocean Realm expert!
This was Mo Yuan's strength!
Mo Yuan's gaze then turned to the five high-level figures with ashen faces, finally settling on Council Elder Li.
"This young man has a connection with me. His affairs, I will handle."
Su Zhan looked at the suddenly appearing Mo Yuan, his heart stirring slightly.
He hadn't expected Mo Yuan to come personally, and at such a critical moment.
He understood Mo Yuan's intention.
To protect him, yet not expose his identity as "Chen Qing."
This sentiment weighed heavily.
The power on the verge of erupting within him slowly subsided. With Mo Yuan stepping forward, he temporarily didn't need to reveal all his cards.
But he remained vigilant, watching coldly from the sidelines, wanting to see how Mo Yuan would handle the situation to come.
Elder Li forcefully suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, stepping forward to demand sternly, "Mo Yuan! Do you know that this Su Zhan has an unclear identity, disrupted the Grand Competition, and openly challenged the authority of Daxia!
By shielding him now, do you intend to make an enemy of the entire Daxia? This is treason!"
"Treason?"
Mo Yuan seemed to have heard something utterly ridiculous. "Old Man Li, save the slanderous accusations.
I, Mo Yuan, have guarded Black City for centuries. How much blood have my men shed for Daxia? How many bones have been buried?
The Mist Surges repelled, the Aberrants slain—their numbers surpass the stacks of documents piled in your Council archives!
And now, you few, based on mere conjecture, want to deal a fatal blow to a young man of only twenty-five years, bearing SSS-grade talent?
Who exactly is shaking the very foundations of the state?
Who exactly is destroying our own Great Wall?!"
With each sentence he spoke, his voice rose a notch.
That centuries-accumulated imposing manner surged like violent waves, battering the minds of the several high-level figures.
"This young man Su Zhan has a favorable connection with me. Today, I, Mo Yuan, will make this statement clear..."
Mo Yuan's gaze bore directly into Elder Li and the others. "This person, I am protecting! If you are not convinced, feel free to make a move and try!
Let's see if your bureaucratic rhetoric can withstand my fist!"
Domineering!
Not giving the slightest face to Daxia's high-level figures, directly suppressing them with might!
Yet, he possessed the strength and qualifications to do so!
The hundreds of thousands of spectators in the stands were already in an uproar.
"If the official broadcast won't show it, we'll broadcast it ourselves!"
"Hurry! Start the livestream! The popularity will definitely explode!"
"Who understands, family? I'm at the scene! Su Zhan returns from the dead, and the higher-ups forcibly cut the broadcast!"
Countless spectators pulled out their phones.
Instantly, thousands of livestream signals flooded outward through the network.
These livestream images might be shaky, the angles might be poor, but the content they carried was explosive.
Su Zhan's return.
The higher-ups' suppression.
Mo Yuan's appearance.
Enough to detonate public opinion across the entire Daxia.
Just as they anticipated.
Every livestream room that opened was instantly flooded and overwhelmed by a massive influx of viewers.
Comments refreshed frantically:
"Here we go, here we go! Thanks to the brave soul for the on-site broadcast!"
"Oh my god, it really is Su Zhan! He really isn't dead!"
"Who are those old fogies? Why won't they let them fight?"
"Holy crap! Is that Black City's Lord Mo Yuan? Why is he here?"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The popularity of the civilian livestreams skyrocketed at a terrifying speed, completely overwhelming the official attempt at information control.
Everything happening at the scene was now being exposed before the eyes of hundreds of millions of people, through another means.
